I was completely impressed by our time here. The food was great, fries were crispy, my favorite. We came in with several kids and sat on the patio. The service was quick and accurate. I'm so glad we decided to stop here! The mile high Nachos are huge, and delicious too! read more

Service!!! Waited an hour for our food and not correct. However the bartenders are sweet

Customer service is terrible and they are rude for no reason. Do better. I will say there was one worker who apologized after she heard her coworker get smart. I'm sure they don't do anything about it but it's disgusting behavior. read more

This is a sports bar. Not a place to go for good food. I ordered a mudslide and they brought me what looked like a white russian. I ordered a medium rare steak and they brought me dried out shoe leather. The bartender was also drunk, and was a real jerk. Would not recommend. read more

Food was of good quality and tasted good. Portions were sufficient and the food temp was preferable as well. No complaints. Enjoyed the take out. Would definitely go back. read more

I've been here before and Johnny Js has really improved the menu and service! Appetizers were huge and delicious! We had spin dip, Reuben egg rolls and Loaded nachos! We had Philly cheese steak with fries! So good!!!!! read more

Everything was so good! The best waffle fries I've ever had. I'm glad we ignored the bad reviews and tried it out.

The bartenders couldn't of been more rude, was called a b**** in the first 5 seconds also ruined my real ID

Arranged a very last minute class reunion at Johnny J's. They were extremely accommodating. I called a bunch of restaurants in the area, and they were the only one that took time to talk to me, and understand what I was trying to plan. (from TX by the way) They put our group up on the "stage" area so we could all be together. No minimum, no head count, everyone had there own tab. The service was outstanding. Thank you Johnny J's so much! Highly recommend!! read more

Horrible service. We been waiting for almost 1 hour for 2 salads. We will never come back.

Went with friends and my friend ordered a jameson and ginger, without asking they upgraded to a special $20 shot of jameson , who does that

I don't understand why this place has such poor reviews, it's nothing special but just good bar food. Love the Reuben egg rolls, they have a great patio area. read more

You guys changed your fried pickles from chips to spears and I am livid, this resturant is going to go down if you guys don't change this unacceptable mistake. Please bring back pickle chips. read more

Heard they were looking to open a place in Strongsville, so I stopped in for lunch to give it a try. First mistake I made was not ordering the Thursday special: $7.99 sirloin steak with 2 sides. I saw about a dozen of them brought out to others and they looked awesome. What I did get was a lunch special; mile high grilled cheese and loaded fries. Both were very good. I'm a French fry snob, and I thought they were great! Bartender was a bit slow and casual in her approach. Turns out she had worked in this spot for 7 years under 3 different names. Not overly excited to be here, which really turns me off. Tap beer selection is great. Looking forward to them coming to the ville! And then I went to pay. This four-star review became two stars. I was charged a one dollar up charge for the loaded fries, although the lunch special clearly indicated that was part of the deal. When I pointed that out to the lackadaisical bartender, she changed the check and apologized. I then pointed out the menu said nothing about the sandwich only being half a sandwich and the tortilla chips that were described in the platter were never delivered. The only reason this wasn't a one star is because Mama Jo's pies is just down the strip. read more

Weekend night can be crazy like any good place! Staff is relaxed and happy. Check them out on a good night off! Twisted tea on tap to!!!!!

Stopped in for the first time this evening for a bite to eat with my parents. Pleasantly surprised by the large, diverse food menu as well as the solid tap list. Our sever was polite and attentive. The only complaint I have is that the music was far too loud for 6:30pm on a Monday evening. It was hard to hear one another and overbearing. read more

Johnny j's use to have good food that was before the pandemic of course no matter dine in or take out. But I will think twice the next time i want a burger I mean a good burger read more

The staff is friendly, treats you as almost a part of the Johnny J's family. This place is a great spot for good food and good beer. They also have queen of hearts, pull tabs, Sunday squares, and keno. Love Johnny J's. read more

Picked up two fish dinners for my mom and I on the first Friday of Lent was served two giant pieces of hot crispy fish along with a huge order of fries two hush puppies plus a side of your choice we both chose coleslaw all for under $16 each restaurant was packed at pick up time but was still asked if I had been helped by five different staff food was still hot when I got home and very plentiful I made two separate meals out of mine and the food was delicious I would definitely recommend and will definitely order again read more

I ordered the Philly cheesesteak and ate it without the bun. It was awesome my daughter had the Mac and cheese and loved it. Service was excellent. Happy with our experience read more

Johnny J's is a great place to catch up with friends, watch a game, or play some trivia while enjoying a beer and snacking on some bar grub without running a huge tab. I've been here several times and keep coming back. Johnny J's has ample seating, including high tops and several really long bench booths which are great for groups. In all of my visits, the service has ranged from average to very good...I've never had bad service. The food is standard pub fare with an Irish twist. Some of their signature offerings include Reuben rolls, a Dead Irishman sandwich, and the Jameson Burger which happens to be one of my favorite indulgences. It features corned beef, cheese, cabbage, and a tasty whiskey glaze. Their wings are pretty decent, too, and they offer a variety of sauces and rubs. Right now they're running their 2016 World of Beer Tour which features 110 beers (some on draught, some bottled, some canned). There are three different prize levels: one for trying 30 beers, one for 60, and one for all 110. The prizes range from t-shirts to growlers to a Beer Tour Party invitation. It's a fun way to try some new brews, though I do with they had more options on draught. Still, Johnny J's is one of Medina's better options if you're looking for a casual place to grab a bite and a beer. read more

Great variety of beer and cocktails. My friend raves about their chicken fingers. I love the Reuben egg rolls and soft pretzels with amazing beer cheese! Food was a tad overcooked but servers were attentive and friendly. I've only been here a couple times but will definitely be back. read more

Love this place. Food is great snd have made lots of friend here. Had some issues and the owner was so nice and addressed everything right away. Got to try the Rubin rolls. They are the bomb. Thursday steak special is wonderful. Always here Thursday night. read more

Johnny J's Pub & Grille - Cool games and drinks - Irish Near Me - Medina, Ohio

Terrible dinner! Artichoke dip not as good as past, barely any dip and cold. Dublin burger, I may as well just ate a bottle of salt.The chicken didn't look even close to the pick in the nice new menus, it was paper thin, cheese wiz and cold broccoli on the side. Some of the fish we had was crispy but mostly just grease. Really the only thing the 4 of us liked was the onion rings unfortunately they were cold. Don't let the nice new tables and menus fool you, as you will be waiting an hour for sub par food. read more

Johnny J's Pub & Grille - Paper thin chicken with cheese wiz and cold broccoli. - Irish Near Me - Medina, Ohio

I come here often. Normally I only get drinks with my friends. Last night me and my sister got food and I will more than likely continue to just get drinks there. My Pierogies were cold and so were my fries. Our waiter was not very responsive at all! Took her 20mins to get a refill drink. Got to the point I was about to just leave my left overs. Kinda upset with the food aspect of the place! read more

Been here one time and never again food was terrible even fast food has better quality and service is slower than getting a visa into the country Place needs new management to retrain the employees and a new menu read more

My first time coming here and received HORRIBLE service. Our waiter took 30 minutes to return to our table after getting our drinks to see if we wanted to order food, and within those 30 minutes she was standing around chatting with other people. After our food was served she then checked on us one or two times before not returning at all. After 40 minutes passed we then had to ask another server to get us our checks because our original server did not come back. Horrible service and will not be returning. read more

This is a bar. The food and service are what you would expect from a bar. For a bar, it was acceptable. If I were to come here for only a dinner experience I would be disappointed. This is a good place to have a few beers with friends and some fried food. Great beer selection. Good place for large groups. Booths hold 6 people easy. Overall, meh. read more

I know this is one of few spots for a late night beer in Medina, and their prices are right...but just so you know ITS NOT WORTH IT. For the following reasons: 1.) It smells like sewage, sat down at the bar, quite far from the bathrooms and had to move to the far side of the establishment because it smelled like straight up porta potty. 2.) The service is pretty often terrible, and I'm not sure the bartenders are of age (this is subjective of course, but someone should ID those girls) 3.) We came in on a weeknight, when it was pretty empty and put $5 in the jukebox to play some groovin' tunes (Lettuce, Hiatus Kaiyote). Soon, we noticed they were being skipped about 10 seconds in and kindly asked the bartender what was up. She responded, "Oh, I'm sorry...I thought that was on our radio, there wasn't any words...it sounded like elevator music so I skipped it" . Another patron backed our music selection stated "I liked it, it's pretty funky". We didn't get to hear our music, or get our money back. Rude. 4.) If you went to Medina High School and prefer not to run into your classmates who might still live in town or visit for the holidays, avoid this place. I have a strong appreciation for dive bars, but usually its because they have great service and a fun atmosphere, this place is just sad. read more

Only reason I come is Phil and Brian, best bartenders! Short blonde doesn't even pay attention at all. read more

Johnny J's Pub & Grille - STRONG ISLANDSSSSS! - Irish Near Me - Medina, Ohio

A group of 4 of us dined here on Tuesday 8/17/21. It took 45 minutes after ordering to be served. One in our party got the chicken fingers - they were well-done with little chicken and lots of breading. I got the Beyond burger, which came with a patty half the size I'm used to seeing (for a full patty go to the Back Yard in Brunswick), and don't request a side of extra virgin olive oil for your broccoli, as the kitchen can't handle such a concept. Don't plan on returning. read more

Our server left at the end of her shift without even saying anything to our table. We waited for a while before asking the bartender where she went. She told us she left and gave us an attitude. Then said she took over when she left. Didn't even think to give us a heads up one of the 10 times she passed our table. Worst customer service there is read more

I used to eat lunch here quite often and was always pleased with the food and the service was prompt - never super busy at lunch.. Recently the quality has deteriorated significantly. Today I was served cold fries and a cold chicken sandwich. When I told my server she offered to replace them but I was already and hour and 15 minutes into the ordeal. My last several visits have gone the exact same way. Very disappointing trend. read more

I've been going to Johnny Js bar for quite some time at the Springfield location. If you are familiar with the area there is NOTHING else around so no competition. It's clean, new and lots of tvs. But, the service is terrible every time you go to Johnny Js you never know who your server is, 3 different waitresses see you no matter what location. Just moved to Medina and have been to Johnny Js 4 times now since it is so close to my apartment. It is the exact same story with the waitress not really understanding the concept of how a restaurant works and having a certain section. I still saw 3 different waitresses for the same table, I have never seen that anywhere else before. Now to the point of this article. Brandon works at the medina location and stay away everybody because he doesn't like criticism. I put $20 in the jukebox and asked the waitress after an hour of not hearing a song what the deal was, she told me the owner likes to play his own music... 2 hours later I hadn't heard a song on a slow Saturday night noticing no one put money in the jukebox. I assumed the owner was playing his own stuff. I wanted my money back or at least an explanation. I asked Brandon if the owner was playing his own music. He said they have no control over the music at the bar. Which is odd because any bar has control over the music and the waitress just told me the owner likes to play his own music. I told him exactly what the waitress told me. I'm in sales in amish country so I understand being respectful and having an honest conversation. We simply told Brandon we have been here for over 2 hours, the place is dead and we haven't heard one song. He said don't raise your voice at me and walked away from us. He is supposedly the "manager". The job of a manager is to solve problems.....Brandon just walked away from a paying customer without an explanation or even an apology, Absolutely nothing. Needless to say the service at Johnny Js is sub par. Also Brandon at medina Johnny Js will not take care of any issue you have at Johnny Js. Not sure he is manager quality. read more

I know this place is trying to turn around. I have heard they have a all new kitchen staff and hiring servers and bartenders. My friends and I visit yesterday evening was nothing to rave about. My friend ordered an appetizer and a meal. He specifically said make sure the appetizer come out first. The bartender girl said okay. The exact opposite happened. The appetizer came out with his meal. What's wrong here. This is not the first time this has happened. Same thing before when salads were ordered. They came out with the meal when requested to come out first. So the kitchen staff needs help. Fine place for coming for a drink but not a fan of the food service. read more

Guys Night Out and we hit Johnny's before bowling and the food was pretty good!!!! Well it's just bar food but again...Keep it simple and do it right and people will keep coming back...Pretty packed but service had no problem with our 10 top and all the food came out quick and warm!!! Thats huge!!!! Thanks Johnny J!!!!! read more

The menu said "pretzels" and yet I was left with a pretzel more single than me on Valentine's Day. The regret I wake up with won't be rolling over next to a lover, but why did I eat that pretzel? Did it have someone back at home? Was it talking to someone on tinder? I ruined a beautiful sadness that I can no longer erase. read more

I love coming here. They have a great steak meal on Thursday's along with a Queen of Hearts drawing Thursday's at 7. The food menu is great and affordable (my favorite is the Philly cheesesteak). Seems to be the most happening place in Medina every night of the week. read more

Dont ever forget anything in this place. Forgot my hat and they threw it in the garbage. How rude!!! I've already filed a complain with the BBB. The manager was disgusting towards me because my drink didnt taste right. Created a yelling match over a drink and told me that if I didnt like the drink I received I can go elsewhere and not come back. Completely disrespected. read more
