    Welcomed and server was very personable and attentive. Got a Reuben with fries and a PBR.

    I didn't use the bathrooms. The fries were cut fresh and there were HOT!!!! Thank you
    First off--not pure rye bread but that sounds class of swirled stuff. I'm not a fan.
    The Reuben was hot with I think home dressed cabbage and some thousand island. It was ok a little dry and I honestly couldn't tell if there was cheese. The meat was thin, not juicy, and didn't seem especially fresh. I guess for the price I shouldn't expect more meat. I'll go out on a limb and say the cook is not aroused by a good Reuben.
    I will go back, just try something different.

    This is my favorite bar in Salem so far.  They pour great drinks, no skimping out here.  The staff is always AMAZING!!!  GREAT service, and as a single woman, it's also a safe place to relax and have a drink alone.  Love their patio too!

    We came here to watch the Seahawks game and have some drink and dinner and Johnny's was perfect for it! There were a ton of TVs to watch the game, really good food, and great service.

    We ordered a veggie plate as an appetizer and all the veggies were super fresh and crisp. We were happy there was a healthy option for an appetizer.

    We ordered a BBQ chicken wrap to share for dinner and it was really tasty! The veggies in it were as fresh as the veggie plate and the chicken and bacon were really tasty. The fries also tasted fresh cut and fried.

    Johnny's is great for dinner, watching your favorite sports team, or just grabbing drinks with your friends.

    So I went here for the first time a few weeks back and I'm pretty sure I got food poisoning from this place..we came in just before 10 pm and were informed they don't serve food after 10 but since it technically wasn't 10 pm yet that we could out in an order.. waitress was awkward and weird about it. The food looked okay and I had a couple of drinks that were strong but whatever happened with me afyer I left the establishment an hour later was out of this world. I experienced all symptoms of food poisoning..i have never experienced anything more disgusting and memorable after eating out. I had the Mac and cheese and my friend had a burger, and was fine. Not sure what happened regarding me but it wasn't a lucky night and makes me never want to come back to drink or do anything let alone eat. Drinks were strong and I like the video poker, and bar staff was great.

    Very relaxing weekday happy hour, and attentive service. The food is good, and the price point is great. If you work in the downtown area, it's worth the after work excursion to decompress, enjoy some jukebox tunes, and a weekday cocktail.
