“Highly recommend this establishment! Great beer and excellent food. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the beer they brew in house and the ones they bring in from other areas. They host trivia nights and karaoke. Children are welcome while the kitchen is open and Alex always has the biggest smile on his face.“

“This place is a dive bar in all the best ways. The locals were friendly and there is a lot of biker history there too. Friendly bartenders and good service. I had the Original Johnny's burger. I love a good burger and this one is in my top five (nod to High Fidelity). It's a big burger with even bigger flavors. If I'm ever in the area or "kind of " in the area I will go back. Thank you Johnny's.“

“5⭐️ service from booking to service on the day for a 35 person memorial luncheon after a funeral.Kimber was so patient and accommodating when we changed our minds, the date, and the buffet menu multiple times!For appetizers we chose from their catering menu:Deep fried panko crusted Calamari so good! What a hit everyone loved even the kids! And the hand breaded artichoke hearts were especially tasty. For entee we chose Menu 2 Classic Country BBQ:We selected the roasted chicken & dry rubbed tri-tip combo. Sides were corn on cob, slow cooked chili beans with an impressive mixed vegetables salad coffee & tea provided as well. Plenty of warm bread and butter as well.Table set ups done beautifully and the food was worth waiting for.(We got there early)Highly recommended for parties, luncheons & dinners for large parties!Parking: They have a 10-15 car lot in back of the restaurant also plenty of street parking as well.Kid-friendliness: Kids run freely in banquet room. We had a memorial luncheon so it was private but they are very accommodating.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes wheel chair access is a must for us my brother in law is in a wheelchair and felt at ease getting in and out. Disabled parking is in back right by accessible door to banquet room. Sort of tricky to find but it’s in back of restaurant thru the alley way.“

“This was a good find. This was my first time in Aromas, CA. I stopped by for food and beer. I had a chicken sandwich, which was really good. I also had onion rings that were also very good. Finally, had a nice cold beer.The server was super nice and very helpful. I'll have to come back :-)“

“Wow, what a great local experience. I travel a ton and love local, low key, great value and friendly places! I actually met Sandy, the owner. She runs a great place as evidenced by her knowing most if the clients names as they walk in. Staff was great, happy and on point. Food was excellent and reasonably priced. It's near the Hilton but worth a visit from anywhere in the area.“

“Food was good but there is room for improvements. I ordered the chilaquiles, ratio of tortilla to egg was not fair. It seemed like there was egg for ten tortillas chips. Food portions were crazy big. Luckily my bro had extra eggs over easy, I put them over the chilaquiles and the ratio was now on me...I would suggest offering that as an option...not a complaint, just a suggestion. Would I go back? Yes!!“
