    Busy my friends - this place is to pack ! Yay! Means something is good
    Nancy C.

    It was busy this weekend, we still found some empty seats at the bar. The waitress was very nice and attentive. We ordered the 3-meat sampler, and it was more than enough for both of us. Very economical and worth it.

    Johnnys nachos with Brisket.
    Ryan S.

    Been here a few times now. They are consistent. I've only been for lunch though so I don't know how the evening is. The food is always good. Today I got the Johnnys nachos with brisket. Last time I did the same with pulled pork. I liked the brisket better and they did not disappoint on the meat. Their sweet tea is good. Not as sweet as I like but probably better as it is. The servers are always prompt and attentive. The ambiance is calm and laid back with a bit of a cowboy touch. I do need to try more on their menu though.

    Ribeye steak (medium), fried okra, and potato salad
    Anastacia S.

    I just had my first experience here two weeks ago, and I cannot believe it took me this long to write this review. I got the ribeye (cooked medium), fried okra, and potato salad. The meat melts in your mouth! I am the kind of girl that cuts off all the fat on steaks, but when everyone told me to try it on this steak I did, and OMG...unbelievable. The seasoning and char on these steaks are done perfectly. The fried okra was the best. The potato salad I wasn't a fan of, since it is on the sweet side (and I like my potato salad salty). But, that just means I have to come back to Texas to try another side ;) Drinks are great. Atmosphere was awesome. I love that you just pick your spot to eat and sit...no need to check in with a hostess. Just be sure to get there early so you can get a spot! We will definitely be coming back!

    Brisket Nachos

    Everything is great as usual! We ordered the 16 oz ribeye and split it. I added on a large salad and hubby picks salad as both of his sides. He also loves the garlic bread they bring out with his steak! They have awesome homemade ranch here! That on and of itself is a reason to eat here! Their wait staff does a great job checking on you. Very casual restaurant and great steaks! One of favorite Texas places that isn't a chain restaurant! We go early for dinner so there isn't a wait and usually by the time we leave there is a wait.

    Great service and delicious food. Small restaurant that's gets pretty crowded but you can usually find a table. Lots of parking right across the street.

    Wonderful food !!! So glad we stopped here. Husband said the BBQ sandwich best he ever had. Large portions and so fresh. Not touristy but real good. !!!!!!

    Second time at Johnny's , apparently forgot to review last time. Saturday night steak night ! Damn this is some good steak ! We had to wait a few mins for a table as we arrived at 630pm on a Saturday night so that's expected , sat down and our server was quick to arrive . We knew we wanted the steak night so we ordered right away. We sat in outside which I think was called the cantina , it was packed out there but our food arrived very quickly and the steak was perfect ! Garlic bread was deliciousssssssss my mashed potatoes were boring and both my wife's and my Mac and cheese came out not very warm . That's ok it still tasted good and wasn't worth complaining about I recall the brisket from last time not being the greatest so I'm pretty sure I'm gonna stick with the steak from now on, we'll be back ! Oh yea and our friends who are regulars here Pointed out that the price of steak night went up 8 dollars .... It used to be 74 dollars now it's 82

    Chicken salad
    Ike S.

    Been here multiple times but always forget to review. Multiple visits must mean they are good enough to come back to for me. The BBQ and huge burgers are some of the best in the area and the vibe is always lively with the friendly people and staff. The service is great although it can sometimes be a small wait for a pickup order which is to be expected considering the amount of tables that stay full. I haven't tried their steaks but will do it on a future visit.

    Bad dried up old Pork ribs
    Erica C.

    Food quality was awful! The stuffed jalapeños were bad. Hardly beef inside and bacon burnt. Pork ribs were old and tough. Not fresh at all. Sliced beef ok noting special but might have been reheated. Not fresh.... Chicken was ok ..... Sides were awful noting fresh. Corn was canned pain corn with no flavor. Potato salad definitely store bought nothing fresh about it. Green beans were also canned. Noting special.

First, it's beautiful inside. Darker walls. Eclectic art. There's no cookie-cutter stuff here. Every wall, every facade is nice to look at and you forget you're in an outdoor shopping plaza in Texas, which is hard to do around here! Second, service was great - no complaints there. A younger server named Jennifer I think saw to us and she was great - checked in, was prompt and pleasant. Third - food was GREAT! We all LOVED everything! Some old review said their mac and cheese was "the worst ever" while others have said the best - It's THE BEST! Very, very good! I had a filet which was a little different than others I've had which was excellent; most filets are a tight piece of meat but this was one was looser (I know that's weird to say) but whatever - it was delicious and I highly recommend it. Drinks were great. Their smoked old fashioned was worth it and the wines were great too. We don't live near here but would go back again if we are in the area for sure. Little worried about this particular shopping area as I saw two other restaurants with CLOSED permanently signs on them. Let's hope this place lasts!

The ambiance alone sets the tone: warm, elevated, and festive, with beautiful holiday décor that immediately makes the whole place feel special. The cocktails were fantastic -- beautifully crafted, refreshing, and served with great attention to detail. But the star of the night for me was the food. Every dish we tried had its own personality, but the bao bun absolutely stole my heart. It was my first time trying one, and I honestly expected the texture to be strange... instead, it was pure heaven. Light, pillowy, flavorful -- I would go back for that alone. We also enjoyed several small plates, each presented beautifully and layered with flavor. You can tell the kitchen puts true care into every detail. Our server, Jacob, was the best! Friendly and he would cut up with our table. How fun! Service was warm, friendly, and perfectly paced, making the entire evening feel relaxed and celebratory. We were there to celebrate a birthday, and The Butcher's Cellar made it feel truly special. If you're looking for a unique dining experience with exceptional dishes, elegant atmosphere, and memorable service, this is absolutely the place. We can't wait to go back!

The scallops were nice and big, and the sauce it came with was sweet. Our server recommended to dip the bread in the sauce and it was delicious. The oysters were very fresh as well, they had a selection of two different types and they came with a vinaigrette, and two different classic sauces. For my main, I got a flank steak with peppercorn Demi sauce. It was an 8 oz, perfect size for just me and it was super tender. The peppercorn demi was very rich and absolutely delicious. For dessert, which we ate too quick before I got a picture, was seriously the best New York cheesecake I've ever had. I would definitely recommend coming here for a celebration or for something special. They have new menu small bite tasting on Tuesdays I believe as well. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience from beginning to end with seamless service so I could focus on having a great time.
