I have spent many an evening at Johnny's playing the Juke Box (Kaskade and Whitesnake from what i remember) and drinking Patron Anejo with my friend Miss Andrea. The owner, who i hardy saw was a cool guy as he would specially bring in the Anejo for me which is pretty chill in that i only visit Denison 5 times a year, maybe. The Bar denizens run the gamut from truck drivers to Uni of Iowa students home for holidays or weekends. They have a pool table here which gets a lot of action. i have been here when it was packed and other times when there were only 3 of us. I particularly like coming to Johnny's in the winter when it is very cold and snowing and i can enjoy a Tequila and Tonic, eat cardboard pizza and watch the snow fall. Many people are probably put off by the wild and wooly look of Johnny's and would prefer to go a venue with potted plants and lace doilies under their drinks...but not me. Give me the realness of Johnny's any day of the week,

I guess this location has been a number of restaurants throughout the years, but it has been nicely transformed into a Mexican motif. Chips and salsa came quickly and we declined additional options of guac or queso. Our server came quickly and got our drink orders, and then we placed our food orders. The food came out in a reasonable time, with the typical 'hot plate' All the food was what you'd expect, and had good, fresh flavors. My wife's dish came out with beef instead of the chicken she'd ordered, and wasn't as hot as the rest of the dish, but otherwise was good. Communication with our server was a bit hit or miss, but she was attentive and checked in regularly. All in all I'd recommend it--we liked it much more than the other similar competitor in town.

My waitress was nice, we had some nice conversation as the evening went into closing hours, but the food was not really what I hoped for. Gizzards were overdone and the "Iowa Cutlet" was just a solid slab of pork, also overdone with barely any flavor. On the plus side land the excellently seasoned and crispy potato wedges and the best grilled veggies I've ever had. Sauced so well. So in the end... I wanted to eat something that felt local. There are a number of Mexican places in town that likely offer better food and better ambiance. At least the waitress was generous with her friendly service.

In my younger days, I always went to Malarky's for a night out but never eaten there. I was back in…read morenorthwest Iowa for a weekend, and so my mom and I decided to go, since we'd both heard how good the food was. We got there about 7 pm on Friday night and it was reasonably busy, though most people were already eating. There were several open tables, but only a few were clean, so we found one and sat. Things started off well enough--the server was friendly, told us about the specials, and brought us each a water right away. We ordered our food, and I had ordered mine without onion, as well as a salad. The order took a while--which again, Friday night, somewhat busy, so that's ok. When the food arrived, it was not good. My entree had tons of onion, and even though I removed them, it still tasted very onion-y, as something covered in grilled onions tends to be. It was also not hot, at all, and my fries were not hot as well. My mom had fish with hash browns, and her fish was somewhat warm, but hash browns were not. Not sure how long our food sat after being done, but obviously quite a while. My salad, which arrived at the same time as our meal, had no dressing, and we needed to flag down our server to get it, as she never stopped back at our table to check on us. I ended up not eating most of my entree and just eating the salad. We were very disappointed as we had been really looking forward to the meal, and I feel like if the food would have been prepared correctly--and served hot--it could have been great. Unfortunately, I don't think we will take the chance again.
