“Always a joy to spend an evening here. Outstanding food and attentive service. Tonight we were seated at the counter facing the kitchen and got a close look at the actions and insights from the chef and staff members. We cannot recommend this place enough.“
“The food, drinks and service are always outstanding. The last two times we've dined here the noise level is so high that we can barely talk to one another. I'm sure it has to do with the proximity of the tables and some voices just being more pervasive than others. It's concerning and will inform our decision going forward.“
“Everything was amazing from the service to each course. It just kept getting better and better it was so good we decided to go back the next day for lunch.The restaurant was clean and beautiful as well as every member of their staff. The food was out of this world! I can wait to come back.“
“The BEST experience! We had a private event at YaYa's in Overland Park KS and could not have been happier with the entire experience. The GM Kris worked with me in doing the advance planning and went above and beyond all evening serving as our host! The entire staff was welcoming and went above and beyond to ensure it was a most special evening for all of us. The food, service, and ambience were superb and beyond expectation! THANK YOU KRIS AND TEAM!“
“I visites for the first time earlier this week and had a great time. I popped in for a quick post work snack and had a cup of gumbo, which was fantastic and the Berry Mule. Excellent drinks, excellent service, excellent quick bites. Not too stuffy, easy to access, great atmosphere. You’d love it!“
“I went to Johnny's Tavern in with some friends and we had a lot of fun. The place was very lively and had a lot of televisions showing different sports games. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the service was fast. I cannot comment on the food or drink selection, as we did not order anything, but the menu looked varied and appealing. The prices seemed reasonable for the area and the quality. The atmosphere was casual and relaxed, and we enjoyed sitting there. Johnny's Tavern is a great place to sit and hang out with friends and have a good time.“
“After trying this place recently I have been back mutliple times. Nearly every menu item I tried was outstanding. It's hard to find their menu online, as their website apparently has virus or malware issues, and they are not particularly active with updates on social media. Everyone with whom I have interacted, including the owner, has been warm, inviting and appreciative of guests. I have always enjoyed my experiences. As someone who loves great cocktails, I did have a mixed experience. This is admittedly my own pet peeve, but I am not fan of cutesy drink names. I like an Old Fashioned to just be called that. It was a great drink though. The "Nanhattan" was also delicious, though I would maintain that it too was an Old Fashioned, as banana liqueur is more a replacement of simple syrup than of sweet vermouth. The "Dark Side of the Moon" cocktail on the other hand was a huge miss, being sickeningly sweet. I also noticed they charge $32 for a 1 oz pour of Blanton's bourbon (which I have seen priced from $18 to $30 for a 2 oz pour at other restaurants around the metro). Hopefully over time they will fill out the bar shelves, which are currently very sparse, with more options. The food presentation has been inconsistent. The first time I tried a short rib (no longer available) it was absolutely perfect. The next time I had it, the crispy herb leaf was missing. It's a small detail but it was such a fun, tasty addition the first time. Similarly, the aloo chaat, which is even described on the menu as featuring smashed fingerling potato, was absolutely delicious the first times I had it, but on a later visit the potatoes were served unsmahsed. This completely altered the texture and was not at all enjoyable. My wife was a bit bummed out by the very sad-faced leopard behind the bar. Despite my commenting on some negatives, I actually love this place and suggest that everyone give it multiple visits.“
