I have been coming Johnny's Place since they were in Park Ridge. I used to come there for lunch every day or every other day. Always friendly and pleasant atmosphere. The food is very delicious. John puts his heart in all the customers.

The meatball sandwich was very large & delicious. Definitely need a knife & fork to tackle. The gyro plate had a generous amount of meat. Could have made another sandwich.

I have passed by this place for years and finally stopped by. Went with a gyro sandwich from the drive thru. The pita was soft, crispy and warm. The gyro meat was just right, at least for me. Cut very thin and was very tender. Lots of it and delish. I will be back to try their other food. Service from the drive thru was good. It does take a few minutes as the sandwich was cooked when ordered.

A little expensive, but nice! Garlic bread for salad was fantastic.

I entered a large clean room with a bit of age on it and was greeted by a busy but friendly lady at the register. She was full of personality, I like her. There's a bit of a wait for your food but everything was cooked to order and there was only one guy back there.While I waited I looked around. Prices are pretty good. There were a lot of hand written signs offering various specials. The menu had a really big selection including the usual burgers, dogs, and Italian beef.I went with the Philly Cheese Steak. There was lots of flavor and lots of food. Don't make the same mistake as me and try to eat it in the car. You need to sit down with a fork, knife, and lots of napkins for this beast.The fries were were frozen crinkle fries but they were cooked enough to not be wimpy. I hate wimpy undercooked fries.So... good food, good people, decent prices.

The hot dogs and fries are delicious. The steak was dry.
My meal of choice was their patty melt. The rye bread had a lovely gold brown shade and an earthy herb flavor. The beef burger was flavorful and moist. The caramelized white onion enhances the sweetness of the patty melt. The gooey mozzarella cheese adds flavor and texture. I'm glad that it satisfied my hunger; the sandwich has a nicely balanced flavor and texture.I supplemented my lunch with pizza puff. I knew that the patty melt wouldn't be enough for my hunger. It's quite a generous size which is a positive. The dough for the pizza puff is soft and warm. With each bite, there's a pleasing sharp sound. The only aspect of the puff that bothers me is the dough to filling ratio, which is greater. The absence of sauce made it somewhat dry. I could just taste black pepper in the sauce; it wasn't very complex. I think there ought to be more cheese added. I want to watch the cheese ooze off the pizza puff and stretch out.I'm pleased I stopped by because I had a nice experience here. In addition to the meal being hot and the service being prompt, the price was also reasonable. Given how costly food is, I'm shocked at how they were able to maintain such a cheap pricing for it. I will most certainly return to sample their other offerings.

Great place with real food. Not as pricey as most places in the area, and the have been eating there since they opened. Always happy with the food. The quality has not dropped since the pandemic, which has happened to most places these days. Overall great food and a great meal made by a real family. I recommend this place to anyone who wants a delicious lunch or dinner that isn't as expensive as eating at a restaurant, but slightly more than a basic boring fast food restaurant, and better priced than most restaurants in the area.Parking: Two handicap parking spots right next to the entrances.Kid-friendliness: Hot dogs and chicken tenders for picky eaters.
