My husband I love to stop in and eat at the bar - our food was great and it's always fun to watch Brant the bartender in action and chat with him! Plus you can't beat the great Sinatra tunes in the background! read more

Could NOT get service at the bar for the life of us. Had reservations and got seated a little earlier than the scheduled time. Calamari was SO salty, ravioli was great. Everything else was just ok. read more

Yes it's a chain but it was near my hotel and it was cold out. Parking is not the best but I made it. Bartender was very nice and conversational. She was very patient with the tons of last minute people calling to ask about reservations for Valentine's Day. The food was great! Would return for sure! read more

Johnny's Italian Steakhouse - Beef Wellington minis and side of pasta - Italian Near Me - Moline, Illinois

While dinning with my family the manager on duty-I believe his name was Gus allowed a gentleman that was entire under the influence or mentally ill into the restaurant. He sat him at a table and offered him a drink which was kind, however he then left and failed to keep an eye on him. The man then proceeded to waive the steak knife around and attempted to conceal it. He stood up from his chair and made stabbing gestures. My husband quickly alerted staff-the waitstaff all showed signs of concern and apologized. Gus(the manager) however did not seem to care that his actions placed customs at risk and did not even offer an apology. read more

Our 1st visiting here. Overall this has a great date night, semi-formal to formal feeling dining experience. The food was well prepared, tasted great and overall was reasonable in price. The service was well paced for a nice date experience and was always good. We will return for future date nights. read more

Had dinner at Johnny's Steakhouse in Moline and had an overall mixed experience. The standout was definitely the **service and drinks** -- AJ took care of us and was absolutely fantastic! Friendly, attentive, and makes a **killer Raspberry Limoncello** -- highly recommend trying it if you're visiting. As for the food, it unfortunately didn't live up to the steakhouse standard I was hoping for. The **prime rib and wedge salad** fell short -- lacking the richness and quality I usually expect. On a more positive note, the **grilled vegetables** that came with the prime rib were a pleasant surprise -- fresh, firm, and really well-seasoned. The **stuffed mushrooms appetizer** was just okay. **Overall:** - **Service & Drinks: 10/10** - **Food: 4.5/10** Would definitely return for the drinks and the great service, but hope to see the food improve on a future visit. Food: 2/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 3/5 read more

Johnny's Italian Steakhouse - The old-fashioned ribeye - Italian Near Me - Moline, Illinois

Very good food, pretty easy to access and very reasonably priced when compared to similar restaurants in major cities

I recently held a party at Johnny's. There were 18 ladies in the party. Our food was very good and I was impressed with how we were all served hot food simultaneously. The space we occupied in the curtained area was great for a private party. The server who took care of us was very polite and professional. All of our requests (extra table for gifts, etc) were accommodated without hesitation. read more

absolutely LOVED it here. This is our first time coming here and the experience is amazing. Our server Brittany was amazing and so informative and just so attentive. Also tried my first martini ever. Will most definitely be coming back and telling EVERYONE about it. read more

Famous Johnny Deers Steakhouse in the Heart of Moline- Me and Becky have tried coming here in the past with no Reservation, but could never get in! We did reserve a 6:45 table for our Anniversry this year, and we're promptly seated. Service and Atmosphere were decent- nothing Special. First course included some fluffy fucachia bread with olive oil and parmijean Chease- bread and salads with both of our entrees! Becky ordered a PRIME RIB with baked potatoe and I got the Taste of Italy, which came with chicken parmigeana, Fettuccinie, and parmigean encrusted sirloin STEAK. Both steaks were done to the Proper medium rare- Becky's steak was as red as my back after a day at the beach when it came out, but seemed fine when we cut in. Strange. My pasta and chicken were JUST OK- I've had better at some unnamed Italian chains. Becky said her potatoe was dry too. If you're coming here, come for the STEAK. Both of our steaks were well seasoned and exactly the quality I'd expect from a respectable steakhouse. read more

One year ago, me and my family went into this restaurant and oh my gosh the food was really good. I got a lasagna I think if I remember right and it was really really good. The staff was amazing and the ambulance was fancier than a Olive Garden. highly recommend this place. read more

Food service and ambiance are all top shelf. I had an exquisite martini followed by delicious scallops. Everyone in my party enjoyed their meal. The service and ambiance were exceptional. Like the finest restaurants in the past. read more

Went with wife and teenage boy, no reservation but got in within 3-5 minutes luckily thanks to calling ahead. Bread service was solid, menu was fabulous, dinner was even better. We had two different filet options and a Fettuccine Alfredo. Margarita and Bourbon options were superb. The service was exceptional, friendly, efficient, and very timely. This was my first experience (my wife's fifth) at Johnny's, and I can't wait to go back. To set the mood, their music playlist was playing some Frank Sinatra hits on very low volume (perfect), and we had the turtle cheesecake for dessert to wrap things up. The atmosphere was what you would hope to experience. I wish I could give extra credit for the experience overall. 5 Stars! read more

Food was good, server was very nice and quick service. The menu had a lot of creative dishes and variety. We would go again.

Originally from the East Coast and having lived in the north end of Boston, the Italian section, I am amused in other parts of the country restaurants that referred to themselves as an Italian restaurant or an Italian steakhouse. Well, Johnny's Italian steakhouse is the real deal... Great for when friends are in town or when it's date night with the Mrs.. read more

I didn't know if Moline would have a good restaurant option as the streets of this town were almost completely deserted. My hotel recommended Johnny's and, wow, was this an unexpected delight. Sherry, scallops, romaine wedge, lobster Mac & Cheese, and cedar plank salmon was a meal I desperately needed after a ten hour drive. I have no complaints. It was all so good and Blake, the bartender, was a good host. It's easy to write off towns like Moline that have seen better days. If you do, though, you will miss what was, for me, the best meal I've had in months. read more

It has been at least a couple of years since our last visit and it seems that Johnny's is just not as good as it used to be. Went on a Saturday and arrived at 6:30 with zero wait. As many years as Johnny's has been around, it still looks great. The curtains that separate the different dinning areas do a good job containing some of the sound in the restaurant, so you can carry on a conversation without yelling. Our waitress arrived promptly after we sat down and took our drink orders. My wife had a Moscow Mule and I had a bourbon Old Fashion. The wait for the cocktails was short and the balance of the flavors were very good. To take the Old Fashion to the next level, Johnny's should consider dumping the maraschino cherries and using Luxardo cherries. Oddly, the waitress never asked if we would like a second round. For the salads, my wife had the house and I had the wedge. The lettuce in the wedge salad was crisp. The disappointing part of the wedge salad was the blue cheese dressing, it was "thin". I am used to a thick and creamy dressing, but this dressing was thin and lacked flavor. When our waitress came to collect our salad plates, she asked if I wanted to keep my knife. I had ordered the rib eye and I thought it was a little unusual in a higher end restaurant to re-use my knife after using it for the wedge salad. As I mentioned, for the entrée I had the Char-broiled rib eye and my wife had the Chanel No. 5. I ordered my rib-eye, medium rare (as if there is another temperature to order a steak to). It came out perfectly cook, but lacked flavor. Additionally, it was fairly tough and the last 20% of the steak was mostly gristle. Not what I would expect from a restaurant that features steak so prominently. My wife liked the Chanel No. 5, but the artichokes in the dish were either too soft or hard and crunchy. The timing of the service was very good. The wait between ordering, the salads arriving, and the entrees arriving, were spot on. We didn't feel like we were rushed between courses, nor did we feel like had to wait forever. While I would like to score this visit higher, I cannot. I would expect better flavor and higher quality from the ribeye especially since their steaks "are hand selected and aged a minimum of 28 days". read more

We really enjoyed our dinner. Our server was so kind and guided us to the perfect dishes. Their drink selection was delicious. We had the meatballs for an appetizer. They weren't my favorite the texture was off for me. I'm looking forward to going back and trying my second choice. read more

Superficial menu and clever words. Just because you call it something fancy doesn't make it fancy. $29 Johnny's Chanel No. 5, is a joke. The menu described it as "Marilyn's trademark! Lobster, shrimp, artichokes, prosciutto, cheese ravioli, garlic cream sauce". It should be called "$29 kids cheese ravioli". It was served to us with two pieces of shrimp and no lobster to be found. We asked the waitress "How many pieces of shrimp typically come with this dish and where is the lobster?" She went back to the kitchen to discuss with the chef. The waitress told us that we can buy a skewer of Shrimp. Obviously there was no attempt to confirm how many pieces of shrimp come with a meal and where the lobster was. My expectations would have been a little more shrimp and some pieces of lobster somewhere in the meal. Save your time and money and go have a nice dinner somewhere else. Johnny's Italian steakhouse does not care about making a customer happy after receiving an empty dish. I have noticed there are plenty of poor reviews of this restaurant. The comments that come back from management are a joke. The typical comment from the management is something to the effact " Thank you for your comments, we are working on this issue with our staff and management to improve your dining experience". Comments by the manager should be focused on bringing those customers back and offering them a better experience. Save your time and money, and go eat somewhere else. They're much more better restaurants in the quad cities than Johnny's Italian steakhouse. read more

Atmosphere was very nice. Big place but they use curtains to cut it up so it's really quiet and private. Nice, classic steakhouse with a big bar Food was really good. I had the 8 oz filet with veggies and a baked potato. Steak was cooked perfectly and it was really tender. Egg use were classic sautéed with a nice mix. Baked potato was a baked potato, hard to mess that up. Onion soup was good, not the best but good. Service was good, we had Ashley, and I saw another review saying really mean things about her, (assuming it's the same Ashley), but she was pleasant, quick and very good. Came around enough to make sure we had what we needed but not so much as to be a pain. read more

I was a part of a veterans dinner with 30 people in the Johnny's boardroom. The table was dirty. My plate had hard crusted food that not scratch-off-albe with my fingernail. My fork had some leftover lettuce freeze dried to it and the bartender Logan put over 2 inches of head on my 20oz beer. The women's bathroom according to my wife was dirty. However, the food wasn't bad. The steak I had was great. The service was pretty good. I won't return. read more

I was determined to give my review 1 star. The whole reason we went to Johnny's was for me to try the white bolognese pappardelle pasta. We arrived before 6:30 and hadn't been able to get a reservation so we sat at the bar. After I ordered they came back and told me they were out of it. How do you run out of a pasta dish before 7 pm? We almost left, but stuck it out and I'm glad we did. I had the French onion soup. It had a broth with a deep flavor, which I love. I think they must use focaccia bread in the soup, which I didn't care for. My alternative choice was bucatini with meatballs and it was great. Pasta was firm, lots of sauce and the sauce and meatballs had a good flavor. My wife had filet mignon and she thought it was one of the best she's had. Very tender, cooked to correct temp and good flavor. The garlic mashed potatoes weren't hot enough but she made due. It's really a place that deserves 5 stars if they don't run out of pasta! read more

As a fan of fine dining we use to love Johnny's but the last 4 times we visited the establishment have not met previous standards. The food was luke warm, the sauce on the pasta had a film over the top from sitting too long under a heat lamp, asparagus was cold but the shrimp cocktail and mini Wellington bites were good as appetizers. I'm not sure where the break down is, but after a $440 meal and leaving not satisfied, we will not return. Our server would bring drinks or food and leave all the dirty dishes on the table. The table was not large enough to begin with, now it is full of stacked dirty dishes, we had to ask them to remove them. read more

Meh. Our group of 6 had one calamity after the other. We were seated at a large table separated by curtains and the table next to us was full of children. One of our party has deadly food allergies and was very clear and particular about what and how she ordered. The rest of us just ordered off the menu, yet somehow more than half of us ended up with the wrong items, wrong combination of toppings, wrong cook on the beef, etc. The person with the food allergy had to order on 4 separate occasions because the kitchen just couldn't master not putting sauce on the beef. Then come to find out after she was read the ingredient list and ordered based off that, started to eat the food, then oops that does have garlic in it. I thankfully received my order perfectly accurate and enjoyed my meal, though I don't think it was in the running for the best steak houses, I'm sure it's good for the quaint area we were in. read more

Overall this food is excellent. The dress code is casual, even though the prices would suggest people should dress up a little. The stuffed mushrooms were "okay," (7/10) in my opinion. The cheese wasn't entirely melted, so it felt like it overpowered everything else. The beef Wellington (8/10) was good, but on the saltier side. The Oscar filet (9/10) was good! The sauce was tasty to eat with potatoes, the crab cake was good, but the steak and sauce combination was also on the saltier side. I would order this again though. The crème brûlée was good (8/10) but not the best I've ever had. The drinks were strong and good, but I wish they had a variety of cocktails on the menu and not just martinis. The service was quick, easy to make a reservation for, and we felt well taken care of. The salads (not pictured) were good. The ranch is homemade and flavorful and the Caesar salad was tasty. Overall a nice place to dine at if you want a $150 dinner for two. read more

waitress was great, food was decent, fruit flys were out of control. killed 10 at our table while waiting for food to come out. been along time since I had been to Johnnys and very disappointed with the direction it's gone. for a 200 dollar dinner for 2, should not have a fruit fly issue! whoever is GM should be fired! read more

The bread on offer in the bread basket is very good but the meal and experience goes downhill from there. At best the food is average and so if there was excellent service, a review could possibly creep to three stars. While our server was nice, the service was extremely slow. It took more than 90 minutes from the time we sat for our entrees to arrive (we didn't even order apps). To add insult to the injury, the food was room temperature when it arrived at the table. On a positive, the location is great and the atmosphere was enjoyable. read more

Wonderful warm greeting on arrival. Our waitress was late to work. Once she arrived, we ordered cocktails. They were perfect. We ordered our entrees and wine. Our salads were served. Upon finishing, we had to ask someone to clear our table. Entrees arrived. Steaks were great. Salmon was rarest. Wine didn't arrive. Our service was marginal. Sides were tepid. We had to ask about our wines. They arrived after we had finished the main course. Not again. read more

Oh my.... This is definitely a do over. The steaks were cooked perfectly. The salad bar was fresh and clean. Our server was lovely. The only shortcoming is location and you can't change that.

The atmosphere is stuffy and upclass, but the food is worse than Applebee's. When my husband and I went here, I was in the midst of a salmon obsession. I was trying it from many different establishments. He ordered a steak. This was by far the least flavorful salmon I tried. I could tell the fish was okay quality, but it was bland and under-seasoned. My husband felt the same way about his steak. If it was cheaper, I would have been okay with the food, but not thrilled. For the extensive price, I was extremely underwhelmed. I would never come back here because I can get the same salmon with better seasoning at pretty much anywhere that serves salmon. read more

The place has incredible potential. Awesome ambiance. Truly an old School steakhouse feel with a modern touch. Very cool vibe. The service at front bar was fantastic. Bartenders had a lot of personality and added to the evening. Our table was great. Really felt like we were getting ready to experience a high level steakhouse. Then it all went south. Yes we were there on a Monday but the young girl waiting on us couldn't be less interested in performing her function. It devolved into a ihop type of experience. (No offense to ihop).... She stopped by to check on us at the appropriate intervals but when asking how things were going she didn't even hesitate for the answer. No big...I'm not dependent on servers to add to my evening (as the bartenders did) but it felt very formula/perfunctory. What was really disappointing was the food. It was 3 star in 5 star atmosphere. Prices were below what you find in a place with such incredible atmosphere. My suggestion...charge more & pay more for your sources of steak, seafood & vegetables & get a chef that puts their heart into realizing this restaurants true potential. Martinis were great! In the end.....it coulda been that it was a Monday. read more

We went to Johnny's before a concert last night. We'd made reservations months ago. We got there early and the hostess was very u welcoming. We were early and told to come back closer to our reservation time of 5:00. Couldn't even get a drink at the bar even though they weren't busy yet - they just wouldn't allow it. Everyone that worked there seemed put out that it was a busy night. I could go on with other things too, but won't. Just really disappointing. They are one of few restaurants near Vibrant that takes a reservation, but they sure don't give you the vibe they want you there. We will not be back. We keep trying it, but always disappointed.. read more

We have been going to Johnny's for years and it has always been good but we had the worst dining experience last weekend. The long time manager retired and it sure shows. The place was dirty and there were no paper towels in the bathrooms. It took 30 minutes to get a cocktail even though the place was not busy and an hour to get the worst meal I have had in a long time. The Veal Sinatra was garbage..whoever is in the kitchen should be fired. The salmon was so dry and overcooked it could have been used for a door stop. Salad was a sad little display of wilted lettuce and the scallop appetizer was so salty it wasn't edible. We told the waitress who did try but was agonizingly slow that the meal was unacceptable. She told us the manage would be over shortly. He never showed up at the table. She removed the veal which looked like burned chicken fried steak with a shrimp on it from our bill and we will not go back. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more
