On our way back to Toronto after a trip along Erie, we were "hangry" and desperate for something quick to eat. We tried a couple of our go-to spots in Port Dover but being one of the first rain-free weekends, the place was a madhouse and there was nowhere to park at all in the beach vicinity.
So we ended up in Jarvis and we couldn't say no to Little Johnny's open sign (although it had an empty parking lot, which is sometimes a bad sign).
Anyways, the exterior is much more appealing than the interior. The interior is highly dated, typical of your souvlaki/burger/sub/gyro diners circa 1983, (anybody remember Corsady's?) Picture the sun-bleached photos of the food and the brown slot menus using the rounded helvetica upper-case font (complete with masking tape over items that had been retired from the menu).
I was so hungry, I had to order a pre-made slice while I perused the menu. It was not worth noting much other that it was neither great nor bad.
I ended up ordering an assorted Super-Sub (which simply means extra meat and cheese). The super-friendly kid behind the counter made a complete mountain out of it. Probably the biggest sub I have ever had. Quite worth the $10 price tag if you're hungry.
The other 3 peeps in my party all had cheeseburgers. We all shared a very large fries. and we all had a pop. The total was a pretty standard $50 for the four of us.
The burgers were a good size, the patty slightly extending beyond the bun. The buns were fresh and everything was tasty. The fries were slightly undercooked and had a mild seasoning salt added to them.
I wouldn't go out of my way to visit LJ's again, but it's a fine place to stop when you're in a pinch and passing through. read more
