A friend recommended Johnson's when we were looking for seafood to-go. We ordered the walleye meal…read morewith hush puppies and fries, a la carte shrimp and a la carte clam strips. The order was ready in about 15 minutes and was piping hot when we left. First off, the clam strips were delicious! There were good size clams and the portion was generous.. The tarter and bbq sauces were very good too; however they were not needed for the strips. The walleye and shrimp were equally good. Again, I liked the shrimp without sauce because the batter was tasty on its own. Even the fries were solid; that's the vessel I used to eat the tater and bbq sauces! If I were in the neighborhood I would stop by for the clam strips a la carte and try their coleslaw.

She made sure to get the food out to us promptly. This was our first time there so we didn't know what to expect except that it had received some positive comments from a local Facebook site. The owners and chefs are from New Orleans and they sure know how to cook. I had the steamed lobster and corn on the cob. My daughter had the lobster roll while my son-in-law started us off with fried green tomatoes. He then ordered some gumbo and a shrimp spaghetti. Everything was delicious. And the price is very reasonable. What a pleasant surprise. The real negative is the facility itself. The building is small and not fancy at all. The main parking is around back. Additionally they were out of their grilled vegetables. Otherwise, it was a very good experience and we will be back.

Glad I made the trip and checked this place out! Absolutely delicious and very generous portions. I had the Bronx plate and it was fantastic! Layered with rice onions peppers steak and gyro and topped with NY sauce. Accompanied with lettuce tomato and sliced pitta bread. This dish was really enjoyable and so unique. To find a gem like this serving food this unique in northwest Indiana is rare. I can't comment if this is the best version of this type of meal having never tried something like it before, but I found it to be absolutely delicious. I will be a repeat customer after this experience. Other things I can mention, the gentleman behind the counter was nice and friendly. There is a few small 2 person tables if you want to dine in, but it's mainly a carry out place in my opinion. The wait time was not very long. Definitely cooked to order and fresh.

I thought it was weird that they have a wooden board covering the side of the sweets fridge? Maybe so we can't see what's is going on in the kitchen..? The food was mid asf. I ordered the flamin hot wings with loaded fries . The wings had a natural buffalo flavor that overruled the flamin hot. They threw hella cheese on it and the chicken was dark asf . The fries were ok, but wasn't enough toppings besides flamin hot cheese clumps. They gave me some stale ahh cheetos on the side . Overall 4/10

Everything was fresh, flavorful and you could tell they weren't being stingy with the portions. This is definitely our new favorite spot and we'll be back much sooner next time! Highly recommend giving them a try!

We don't get this in Cali!! What truly made this visit stand out was the EXCELLENT customer service from Daniella. From the moment i ordered, she was kind, attentive, and went above and beyond. We were cold and tired, and she graciously brought our food out to the car because we were enjoying our moment of rest and under estimated the food completion time! That meant so much to us! It's rare to find both great food and genuine, thoughtful service, but this location delivered on both. Thank you, Daniella, for your kindness and care, we will definitely be back! (tomorrow lol).

They got a family. I think it's unprofessional. It's always an excuse with this GM or she never really get around to doing what she say she gonna do.
