Upon our arrival, the host asked if we had a reservation. When we said no, she walked away…read more It seemed to be an issue that we didn't have a reservation even though we were able to be accommodated right away. The quietness of the patio on a Friday evening was striking . No ambiance, no background music even though it was the perfect evening to be outside. It was so quiet that it was a bit awkward being the tables so close. It felt like we were all whispering. Our server handed us the menus and told us what the specials of the day were. The 1 star is for the great service given by her. It's a bit excessive when patrons are warned beforehand of NO changes to the menu. The creativity of the chef seemed more important than the desire of the customer. My husband ordered the hamburger and it had no flavor and the fries no seasoning. It looked like something they didn't put effort in making either. He also said that the iced tea that was cloudy. I ordered from the specials of the day: the duck ramen and, even though it looked great and smelled great, it didn't have a lot of flavor. We were shocked to find the price by the time the check came. Beware of the prices of the daily specials. They are not in the printed menu and prices and not indicated on the Facebook page either.

This is my second visit to PJ Piper Pancake House, and it was just as good this time as the last…read more I decided to try the Authentic German Potato Pancakes Served with Applesauce $12. I ordered them "Supreme" - Stuffed with Scrambled Eggs, Bacon, & Cheddar for an extra $3. And stuffed they were, which made for "big" meal (See Pic). Enough for two people. I really enjoyed the German pancakes. Great unique taste and quite filling. - Five stars for being tasty and unique. The fresh pineapple, on the side, was a nice addition. Excellent, friendly service. $19.50 with coffee and tax. By the time I added the tip, it was an expensive one person breakfast, for sure. I like to support local establishments so I'll be back, however next time, I may stick to the $7 daily breakfast special.

The pickle chips were really good and crispy, and the ranch dipping sauce was creamy and full of flavor. The pizza was very thin and I felt it was missing some flavor and could've had more chicken on it but my daughter enjoyed it. Our server was so sweet and attentive, and we really appreciated that. We were surprised that it wasn't very busy for a Saturday afternoon, but that did mean we had the full attention of the waitstaff. I'd be willing to give The Stillery another try in the future and explore some of their other menu options.

My parents love their bang bang shrimp and blackened chicken salad! They also appreciate that they always seem to have a hazy ipa on tap! Each time I come, there is never anything on the menu I'm dying for. I wish I had a good go to but I feel like the menu is missing that for me. With that being said, all the meals I've had have been good. Just never amazing. Some of the items I've liked are the shrimp tacos, cauliflower tacos, Italian beef dip sandwich, and shrimp on Fridays!

We…read morewere greeted by great staff and while we were waiting the owner came by and talked to us and kept us updated on the wait which wasn't long at all. The atmosphere is low key and warm like gathering around for a nice cozy family dinner. The food was great! We got the Bruschetta as a starter which was delicious! For entrees I got the Gnocchi which was stuffed with spinach and served with choice of pesto cream sauce or red cream sauce. I got the crème sauce. My wife got the Cheese Ravioli which was ravioli pockets stuffed with ricotta, romano and parmesan cheese, served in our homemade pasta sauce, topped with shredded parmesan cheese. My wife loved it and she let me try some and it was great! The kids loved their food! My son got chicken tenders and my daughter got a cheese pizza. We then took dessert home we got one Cannoli and one Spumoni Bomb which is a scoop of Spumoni ice creme with a chocolate shell. It was also very delicious! The family and I had a great time and the rest of the restaurant liked they were too! We will sure be coming back soon!

The hash browns were amazing. May seem funny to get excited about browns but all too often you end up tasting the oil they were cooked in. Not here. They were buttery and potato-y. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Perfect. You have the option of toast or a pancake. I went the pancake route. Delicious.

We recently moved to the area and wanted to check out Johnny's. I have to admit, I was a little…read moreapprehensive. After talking with some locals, I got the impression that Johnny's best days might be behind it. It happened to be my birthday, so we made a reservation for 7:15 on a Friday night. Food: As you would expect from a steakhouse and supper club, the menu is extensive, with plenty of appetizers, steaks, seafood, and even pizza. We started with cocktails. I ordered the Sangria special, while others had the Mint Margarita and the Peachy Keen Smash. All of them were very good, with delicious flavor profiles and enough alcohol to let you know you were having a real cocktail. For an appetizer, we ordered the Crispy Brussels Sprouts, finished with hot honey and pomegranate seeds. They were delicious. Crispy just the way we like them, served hot, and generously portioned. There were plenty of great entrée choices, and we settled on the Lamb Chops for me, because if lamb is on the menu, I'm probably ordering it, the "Best in Wisconsin" Pork Chops, and the Scallop Cacciatore. Each entrée came with a nice house salad and warm bread. The lamb was excellent, heavily seasoned with rosemary, nicely charred, and cooked to a perfect medium rare. The roasted potatoes and carrots were also very good. The pork chops really were some of the best we've ever had at a restaurant. Both the broiled and breaded versions were excellent, and it was hard to pick a favorite. The Scallop Cacciatore was also good. They used quality scallops and seared them nicely without overcooking them. The pasta sauce, however, had more red pepper flakes than my wife preferred. She loves scallops but isn't a fan of spicy food, so this probably wasn't the best choice for her. We wanted dessert, so we made sure to leave room and took plenty of leftovers home. The Brandy Alexander was made perfectly. They use scooped ice cream rather than soft serve, which gave the drink a thicker texture with a few small chunks of ice cream. The tiramisu was also excellent. It was served at room temperature, had a distinct coffee flavor, and wasn't overly sweet. A very nice finish to an excellent meal. Service: We received excellent service throughout the entire evening. From the moment we arrived and for the next couple of hours, we were consistently well attended to. Everything was well timed, from the water and cocktails to the entrées and dessert. The service was efficient without ever making us feel rushed. Since they asked whether we were celebrating a special occasion, they surprised me with a complimentary strawberry cake for my birthday. Our server was friendly, efficient, and helpful throughout the evening. Thanks, Patty! The manager also stopped by a couple of times to check on us, which was a nice touch. Atmosphere: It's a beautiful setting. The woodwork, windows, lighting, and overall design are all very well done. The restaurant feels polished and well cared for without making you feel like you need to dress especially fancy to enjoy it. There was one thing that detracted from the otherwise beautiful atmosphere for me. A couple of televisions over the bar are visible from parts of the dining room. That's not something I expect during a fine-dining experience, and I found them distracting. On our next visit, I'll ask for a table where the TVs are either out of view or less noticeable. Overall, this was an excellent experience. Aside from the television issue, it was a lovely evening with outstanding food and service. Johnny's definitely exceeded my expectations, and it's a place we'd be happy to return to.

Water was always filled, drinks came quick, appetizers were perfectly timed. We ordered the shrimp cocktail and it was huge! The fried deviled eggs were "ok", nothing to run back to get as they needed more flavor..... Our table of four ordered the pork chops which are "Wisconsins best" and they truly are, a filet done with Oscar style and two pasta specials. Out of the meal choices the pork chops won hands down. Absolutely amazing!!!! We already said we will be back for them. We ordered a dessert as well, the bananas foster. It was table side and a very fun experience!
