Notes: Annnnnnd we’re back. I would like to apologize for my short break. Even though I have not posted anything I still have notated all the different restaurants and plan on posting them this week. What brought me to Johnny’s Grill this years April fools day was none other than The Black Lips. This small restaurant was ran by none other than Johnny himself, pronounced ‘Ohnny because of the Spanish language, and only ‘Ohnny (ole ‘Ohnny is seen in the picture). Because ‘Ohnny was the only chef, hostess, waiter, and bus-boy, the servicing pretty much sucked. I have to say the food was delicious while the Diet was rather a cock-block. Not only was it small and not able to satisfy me, it was nothing to be proud of. It all was not as bad as it seemed. The company was interesting and the atmosphere was surely something to look at. There was an old man who was a little too into his 10 year old boy/girl; very hard sometimes to distinguish the difference in gender. When the boy/girl’s mom called, the old man pulled out his iPhone to reveal a naked woman as his background picture, handed the boy/girl the phone, and continued to make horrible jokes which made me uncomfortable. The usual hipster crowd filed in awaiting the concert looking far too fashionable for me to handle.

Grade: I gave Johnny’s Grill a 69.696. Between the tiny cup size and ‘Ohnny’s lack of respect for the environment by using Styrofoam the Diet was not that great. Although, do not be discouraged, I do find Johnny’s to be a diamond in the rough where this small diner stands out in a large city; just be cautions of poor servicing. I gave Johnny’s Grill the “The Food Is Hip, But BYODiet” Award.
