My type of dive bar They had me at the bourbon menu Great spot to watch a game, kill some time before a flight or meet up with some friends. Very beachy, outdoor feel makes it easy to get comfortable and relax. Service was very friendly and accommodating as a searched through the multiple menus. I settled on the man's burger, loaded with protein. A little over cooked for medium but not a big deal. Got a great bourbon off their 1/2 off menu and felt like I was stealing. Will definitely go back!

First time here, and it was worth the drive. Great food and a nice place to hang out. We enjoyed all of our good and got out quickly even though they were very busy. I highly recommend this place.

Love this place! Have had the deviled eggs, burgers and today had fried oyster sandwich, they are delicious!! Drinks were really good too. My only wish was the sandwiches came with fries and not an extra charge. Other than that though, I recommend this establishment.

Wonderful lunch at Johnny's Other Side in Orlando. Started with some super tasty deviled eggs. He got the chicken fingers that were fried to perfection with some tots, and I had the fried green tomato BLT with pimento cheese. Everything was super fresh, and green tomatoes with pimento made my belly happy!

This is a fun place to eat. The food is good. The bar is awesome. The drinks are the best prices in the area. 10 doubles. Also they have live music every night. Be warned that it is outdoor seating. There is outdoor heaters but at least be aware. Overall, this is one of my favorite places to eat with family, friends, and even a date.

Nice, open, casual spot to sit outside under a covered roof. Lots of seating. Plenty of parking. Pretty big variety of food options. Our party of 6 got fish and chips, Cuban sandwich with fries and 20 sweet chili wings (mine - sweet, not spicy; loads of sauce. I added fries and dipped them into the extra sauce) and everyone was happy all around. Waitress came often to check on us and refill our drinks. It was my first time there, but I definitely plan to return. I'd especially like to go back during a time they have live music.
