We had Karen as our server and it was so nice to see her again! She was professional and kind and got an assist from Cam, who was as pleasant as she was. Our dinners were prepared exactly as requested. Another great evening!

We had an excellent meal and our waitress, Rachel was wonderful. It was very cold in the restaurant when we arrived but the temperature improved after we complained about it.

We have been take-out and dine-in customers here for many years, essentially since they first opened, and have dined at most of the major restaurants in the Amherst-Northampton area. In terms of the quality of food, service, ambience, consistency, etc., we think Johnny's is the best restaurant in this area.

Johnny's was great as always. Daphne did a wonderful job taking care of us. Very professional and friendly. The entire staff is excellent. Bartenders make the best drinks. Food was excellent. We travel to Johnny's from West Springfield so it's a bit of a ride but it's worth it!

The noise level made conversing impossible. That took away from the enjoyment of the venue.

Great service on a Thursday night at Johnny's. Menu selection was good, and our server helped us with deciding on our order. Beet and Kale burger was as promised, and Bronzino filet had a nice crispy skin, and moist on the inside. Would go back for sure.

Cynthia was our server and was kind and professional, remembering our preferences even though it had been a while since we had her. The food was good, although we would have liked our salmon a little more on the well done side.
