    I had been wanting to visit Johnny Manhattan's for years. Having grown up in the area, I couldn't believe I'd never been -- so we decided to go for my son's birthday. Unfortunately, it was a major disappointment, and I won't be returning. The atmosphere was fantastic -- it truly has that classic, old-school supper club feel I was hoping for. Sadly, the poor service overshadowed nearly everything else. We never received bread for the table, our drinks sat empty for long stretches, a martini glass was accidentally dropped and shattered on our table, and two of our five meals arrived missing their sides. The food itself was good, but not great. My son's pizza was undercooked -- the crust couldn't even hold up the cheese and pepperoni. The ribs were lackluster, the fries never showed up, and while my steak was decent, it too was missing a side. The remaining dishes at our table came out correctly and were fine, but by that point we'd been waiting well over an hour and didn't have the patience to request fixes. Overall, the food quality was okay for the area, but not worth the price or frustration. I'd suggest driving a little farther for a better dining experience.

    Beautiful restaurant that accommodates a large number of customers both for dining and cocktail lounging. Very welcoming entry door, parking lot, ramp with railings, restroom, and smooth navigation inside of the restaurant for cane or walker dependent customers. A generous menu of assorted food choices and appetizers. Friendly hostess and waitstaff. Great bartenders. Special occasion dinner or just an evening out with a friend are handled well here. Delicious Veal Johnnys entree followed by a turtle sundae was my delight for the night.

    Was here for a work meeting, had the private room! Lovely ambiance in the restaurant - HUGE and open! Private room was great, intimate and perfect for our group. I got the pork chop duo. It was THE BEST PORK CHOP IVE EVER HAD! You must must must order. Great spot!!!!

    We had an incredible dining experience here. Table of 5 sober got to try alot of dishes. The brandy old fashioned were perfect. The server was attentive and friendly and we actually got our own private room. We highly recommend the haystack onion strings and the cheese curd appetizers. The remoulade (?) sauce with the strings was fantastic. One of our diners had the lasagna. It was absolutely enormous and came with a salad and what he described as the best garlic bread ever. He also said the lasagna was the best he's ever had. He's a big eater and barely ate half his meal. The steaks were cooked perfectly and had an amazing char. The baked potato and the hash brown casserole were both great. We added side scallops and they were huge and tasty. Great meal. Hope to be back soon as there were at least 10 dishes that sound amazing.

    We had a wonderful experience at Johnny Manhattan's. The setting is very beautiful - located in the scenic Holy Hill area. Inside the restaurant you'll feel like you're at a swanky steak house. I ordered the lasagna- it was possibly the best I have ever had. The portion was huge and it came with a delicious salad and a slice of tasty garlic bread. My significant ordered the pork chops- he said it was the best he had ever had. We definitely recommend this restaurant!

    Should be medium well done steak in the photo. What do you think?

    You know I love a good hidden gem…read more Old Germantown is just that. We were in the general area-ish doing some shopping and wanted to get some pizza for takeout some place closeby to enjoy at home while watching the Olympics (because it's in Italy--so pizza seemed like just the thing). A search on Yelp brought up this place as somewhat closeby. It was after dark when we went in search of it. We drove down a rural road past what appeared to be a driveway that led to a farm. This can't be it. We tried again. Navigation brought us to the same driveway. My husband was ready to give up. I decided to call the business. A kindly gentleman answered and said--yep! It will look like you're driving to a farm but we're here! As we got closer to the end of the drive we saw a bustling parking area. While it might be hard to find--the people have found it. And, so did we. We entered to find beer hall vibes with tons of communal seating. We asked if we could order to go which they were more than willing to accommodate. We found a couple bar stools at their bar, ordered our salads and pizza, and then enjoyed a couple of stout beers while we waited. The beers, salad, and the pizza straight from their wood fired pizza oven were all fantastic. We got one of their specialty pizzas which was a white pie that comes with ricotta (as well as mozz) mushrooms, and basil on a crust that has just the right amount of chewiness and char. Lovely! The folks working here were above-and-beyond friendly. And, one told us that they have a large outdoor patio during pleasant months. We will definitely be back during the pleasant months. And, let's be real--during the less than pleasant months as well. Get to it!

    This is definitely a hidden gem that you'd never just stumble across. There is no signage at all…read moreand from the street it looks like an old barn off the road. Upon driving in there is a building for the restaurant along with nice outdoor seating, and area for kids to play! We went in mid May on a sunny but cool evening. The kids loved having the sand area and toys to play with while waiting for dinner to arrive. They have a good menu, but there seemed to be a decent amount of items unavailable especially the sausages my friends wanted to try. We ended up with the spring pizza, sassy pig, a plain cheese, and then a three combo of sausages. I thought the pizza was all good, not the best I've ever had but solid. The spring pizza was my favorite. The sassy pig was very unique but good! Personally, I wasn't a huge fan of the sausages but others in my group liked them. We upgraded that to include fries and there was only a very small amount. We will definitely be back, seems like a great spot for groups!

I got the Manhattan off their specialty menu and my husband got their autumn barrel Manhattan. After trying both--highly recommend the one off their specialty menu. It was definitely superior quality. It's served over a block of ice so if you want it up, you may want to mention that when ordering. It tasted more like a classic old fashioned than a Manhattan but I'm not complaining because I love classic bourbon old fashioned cocktails as well. For a starter we got their much raved about bang bang shrimp. It came on a bed of greens and was good! For my dinner I got their seasonal chicken and dumpling soup and a side salad. Both were solid. The salad was definitely more ample than I was expecting. My husband got some sort of salmon alfredo pasta dish that came with roasted asparagus mixed in. I had a bite and he ordered well--it was decadently buttery and delicious. The service was super kind throughout our stay. Our server checked in on us regularly without being overbearing. Get to it!

I saw on social media that they have an all you can eat fish fry on Fridays, so my kids and I stopped by to give them a try. I got the fish fry with potato pancakes, one kid got the kids chicken strips, and the other got a kids cheeseburger. We also got cheese curds to share. The food was meh all around. The steak fries weren't seasoned or salted and the kids meals didn't come with that much. The burger was dripping grease. The breading on the chicken strips was bland, but at least the strips were large. The cheese curds were cornmeal breaded and had a strong garlic flavor. I was told the curds were battered when I asked what kind they have and was obviously I given incorrect information. At least they weren't greasy like cornmeal breaded curds tend to be. The potato pancakes were paper thin and looked a little overcooked, but didn't taste like it. Even though I got potato pancakes they still put a few fries on my plate, which was odd. The batter on the fish crumbled apart very easily, was a bit greasy, and didn't have a vodka beer flavor like the menu describes. I thought the service was slow and inattentive. I had to bring our glasses up to the bar to get refills on our drinks and it took quite a while for our food to come out even though they weren't super busy. I didn't want to bother with the refill of fish, so they were able to make my meal a two piece dinner for $13 instead of the all you can eat for $17. I don't foresee coming back. There are penty of other places around the area that I like way more. What a shame.

We got a Mile High Reuben and a Pastrami Sandwich. Both had a good portion of very tender smoked meats, and they were served hot. The marble rye was nicely toasted. The order of onion rings was huge. They were hand-breaded with a decent amount of flavor. There was a mix of different sizes, but lots of little pieces, which made them a bit tedious to eat. Service: Super friendly and helpful service. You grab a seat and order at the bar. The food came out in short order. Atmosphere: It's an interesting-looking place, both inside and out. Outside you pass the barbecue that's fired up and smoking the meats. Inside, it has a low ceiling with lots of mugs, over 2,500 of them, that are numbered and belong to customers. There was lots of friendly banter going on between patrons and staff. There were only a few other small groups there, and it was a bit noisy for my tastes. A great place for an excellent sandwich.

I understand that this is a hole in the wall type of establishment, but I think it's so weird that you sit at the table to look at the menu, and then go up to the counter to order. Then you get your drinks and you go sit back down. It's a pretty small place, there's only about a dozen tables total So it fills up very quickly! It wasn't too busy when we arrived. We sat down and decided what we wanted, and then my friend and I went up to the counter to order. There were three of us total. We waited over an hour before my friend's boyfriend finally got up to go check on the status of our food. There were four tables around us that came to the restaurant after we got there, and all got their food before us. He came back and said that the waiter told him that the food should be out any minute. Then the guy who was at the counter who took our order, came over to the table a couple minutes later and said "that was my bad guys, I forgot to hit fire, it'll be about 20 minutes", meaning he forgot to send the order to the kitchen. We waited over an hour before he finally came and told us that. Our food came out about 25 minutes later, and then we left shortly after we finished eating. My friend and her boyfriend said the salmon was OK, but it wasn't great. I really enjoyed my fish fry, especially the potato crusted one. I also tried the potato cakes and they were mediocre and not hot. Overall, super disappointed with this entire visit. They didn't come out and apologize, they didn't offer anything, and it was just a really terrible experience overall having to wait that long. Period.
