I have been to Bongo Johnny's many times. I don't know if it is that they are under new ownership. but I found the service inconsistent. The waiter we had was not provide the type of service we had gotten in the past there. He was very engaged with the table of women next to us, & not engaged with us. He took my order, but didn't really listen . I ordered a cheese scrabble and I got an omelette. I asked for the side to be cottage cheese, meaning I did not want potatoes & I got potatoes, with a separate side of cottage cheese at an additional charge. Bring the additional charge up to the manage, the charge was removed, doing the right thing. Hopefully, this experience was an exception, since all my other experiences have been excellent. I will go back & try Bongo Johnny's again to be fair.

Frequently go to Bongo Johnny’s. Enjoy their food and service. Today was disappointing. Had to ask for water 3 times and didn’t receive our 2nd drink order. Sat for a long time waiting for a server to come to be able to pay. Left not wanting to go back for awhile.

This is a very popular place and has a big menu. I love that they have a dog menu, and they treated our dog extremely well. The food we chose wasn't that great unfortunately and a bit on the oily side. The service was great and we had a nice spot on the patio.

I enjoyed the steak, though I wish it came with something other than steamed vegetables.
