One of my favorite places to go for an amazing hamburger lots of great food but I truly loved the hamburger
Cool place with so much history. It was loud, but it's a Tavern, nothing unexpected. The food was great! We had an appetizers sampler and the fancy Johnny's grilled cheese. Both were delicious. Our waitress, Sarah, was so kind and friendly, she made us feel welcome and made sure we were enjoying everything. The young man working in the kitchen was so nice and made sure we had everything we needed. Great experience!!
Historic spot for bikers. The owner and staff were very welcoming. I enjoyed my Jack and Coke while looking at all the memorabilia.
Such a great bar had a blast there i would go back
Friendly service, with great tasting food, and wonderful ambiance.
This place is a biker haven. The walls are decorated with decades of history from all the clubs. There's a large outside seating area as well as those tables and the rebuilt bar inside. We ordered the Johnny's burger, expecting a normal burger. What arrived were fries and a burger tower, complete with a brand held together with a knife. Split one if you are not really hungry. This HALF POUND burger is all natural and sourced locally, the bun is made at a bakery right down the street and all the veggies sourced from Watsonville. A-maz-ing burger! Only $18! Thank you Pete for the hospitality and a great dinner. Recommended.
Great Biker Bar ! Alot of History and very Historical. The Boozefighters motorcycle Club made history there way back in the 40s. A must see!!!!
Great place. The locals and staff are amazing people. Drinks and brew are fresh. You have to try Tio's BBQ Some Sunday only, all smoked meats and sides are the Best i have ever had anywhere in California.
Had a burger at the bar and loved it. Huge basket of delicious onion rings on the side. Definitely would go back again. Cool staff and ambience was like being back in time. 5 Stars
A Friends and I went out on the wet, rainy Valentine's Day this year, 2/14/24. We encountered the Owner who offered us fresh Chicken soup to take the chill out of the night air. 😋 That was my first encountered @ Johnny's. I enjoyed the evening immensely as I met some happy local folks. It was much better than I had expected.
