Excellent restaurant. Great variety of food at a reasonable price. Wait staff is very friendly. Highly recommend.

Very expensive breakfast. Eggs hashbrowns and bacon all without any flavor. The toast has some sweet taste to it. The staff was fantastic though read more

A great place for comfort food, and the customer service is fantastic, whether I choose to dine in or take out.

This little spot is a great way to start you morning, we ordered right away Witford the kiddos and the. For us 8min later the food was out and it surprised us because it wasn't not busy, the food was overall pretty good the only thing I didn't enjoy is the sausage... it's definitely a crumbled sausage mash together in a patty form but tasted awful, everything else was good, also the water in the bathroom gets EXTREMELY hot so beware. read more

First visit to the establishment and I was rather satisfied with my experience. Miss Vickie was an attentive waitress who never allowed our drinks to get below half empty and our email was both plentiful and tasty at a very good price as well. Getting a good breakfast and drinks for 2 for $22 at a sit down diner...what more could one ask for? read more

This restaurant has been a mainstay of the community for many years. I enjoyed a ham sandwich with fries today, and a cup of the complimentary soup of the day (a delicious chicken noodle). The service was excellent, and my server was very attentive. The interior is welcoming and homey, with murals of local historical buildings and photos of community leaders, past and present. You should stop in for breakfast or lunch sometime! read more

This place was recommended by a co-worker. Hours online state they are open until 3:00 pm. Arrived at 2:23 pm, hours on locked door day 2:30 pm. Pretty disappointed that they didn't update their hours and they closed earlier than the hours posted. read more

Food was excellent. Had a chicken pita sandwich which was a pita bread with chicken wrapped like a Taco, not as expected. Everything fell out. Should have been tucked into the pita. Chicken was delicious. Service was good and price was reasonable. I had a turkey sandwich, it was delicious. read more

the food was so good and I was very pleased with the service today! I felt like the tables were a bit messy but overall a good place to go with your family! read more

Food was ok. Not bad but nothing special either that would make it stand out. Needs a deep cleaning and some new tables. I tried it there twice and 2 different tables were rocking and sticky even after it was washed. That being said it is more of a place that people that have been going there for years that are from the area still frequent. Personally for myself there are a lot better places to get food at. read more

I have to preface that I try to be as fair as I can be with these reviews. I know that people's and the restaurants livelihood depend on written feedback. I also need to add that I will eat anything. I am polar opposite to a picky eater. In fact I can't think of any food that I dislike. I got the French onion dip sandwich with au jus (dipping sauce), fries and a complimentary vegetable soup. The soup was actually good to be fair , the fries were just your standard steak fries, nice and fluffy with a lightly salted taste but the sand which was horrendous. I do no exaggerate when I say that the steak was so dry it actually felt like leather. The dry and tasteless meat was accompanied by raw onions. I love any kind of onion but a steak sandwich is supposed to come with sautéed onions not raw onions. However, this isn't even the reason for my low rating. When I told my server that the meat was dry she very rudely responded "that's why it comes with au jus". The owner that was next to her was very quick to correct her mistake and told me that I could get something else, and when she walked away the other owner pulled the server aside and appeared to scold her. My food was replaced with a chicken Parmesan which was pretty decent. The only redeeming aspect about this place are the owners that handled the situation professionally. I doubt that this place is always like this and I will be giving this place a second try. I will change my review if they do better next time . read more

The food was not good. The pancakes were flat, crispy around the edges, and flavorless. The bacon tasted horrible and undercooked. The building itself is gross and it feels dirty inside. The tables appeared dirty and condiment containers (including salt and pepper shakers) were dirty as well. One waitress randomly came by and said how she just keeps getting yelled at here. My husband's bacon was missing but he didn't say anything because he ate mine. We were just going to wait and see if it was on the check or not at the end. Not a big deal. When we received the check we were charged for it, so my husband let the woman checking him out know. She had a major attitude saying why didn't we tell our waitress then. She finally took it off our bill. We will not be returning. The food is awful, attitudes of workers are bad, and the place is filthy. read more

Nice little diner , friendly waitresses. 5/10 on biscuit and gravy says the bf. My sunny side eggs were overall read more

Johnny K’s Restaurant - Johnnys k restaurant, - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Indian Trail, North Carolina

I know the cost of EVERYTHING has gone up up up !!! Although you would think that a so called "Family Diner" would not increase upwards of 20% per month, for the last several months. I would think that Johnny K's would at least not try to increase their profits to the extent of alienating the regular patron's. $28.00 dollars for just so-so "meat and two" Lunch.!! That wasn't that great either. It is also apparent other folks feel the same way I do.... the Dining room was empty. Thank You Johnny K for showing me : "it's all about the profit" read more

Favorite place for a quick breakfast! Prices are also McDonald's cheap. Side not Have never tried lunch or dinner.

Well, I honestly have to say I couldn't wait to get home to write this one, guys...the food was pretty good, but not really $13 good. What got to me was the fact that they didn't want to give me a cup of ice because it was "not fair to them." They will give you the ice and charge for the cup...what? What restaurant will not give their customer a cup of ice? I would have given the food 4 stars, but not letting me have a cup of ice after I spent $13 and some change for the food that I had to heat up because it was only a little warm and they are too stingy to let me have a cup of ice! That brought the review down to 2 stars. Not fair to them? I am sure they made plenty of profit on the food that they can let me have a cup of ice. I even told them I would give them a cup to put me some ice in, lol, and boom-you won't have to lose a cup for your profit. Can't do that either? I didn't think so...that was just an excuse. read more

Had lunch here Saturday, it is definitely a cute homey family place. I ordered the philly cheesesteak and my friend ordered the club sandwich. His sandwich was beautiful and wow huge, he said some of the bacon was a touch undercooked tho. My sweet and hilarious waitress put my sandwich down and asked 'does everything look ok?' To which I replied, 'maybe I didnt order the black hair on the pickle'. Since I am blonde and she was blonde I could see the wheels sputtering in her head there was no way to get out of this one. So I helped her out and handed her the pickle, suggesting I really did not want a replacement. Ug, so I am not a kid and I realize that cooks making probably minimum wage are not donning hazmat suits to prepare a meal for Princess Melissa or any other paying member of society....so I let it go...I know it just happens. I picked carefully through the rest of my sandwich tho... The coleslaw was fabulous, the KFC kind that is a little sweet and finely chopped. All in all I would say this restaurant is "meh' and definitely has overtones of creepy cousin-in-law who is always asking me to go to a strip-joint with him when I go home for Thanksgiving. read more

I feel bad for writing this review but I'm also sorry for the meal I just endured at Johnny K's. I've eaten there before and thought nothing of it: not good, not bad. Today, the service was excellent like always but the food was AWFUL! Definitely some cost cutting in the food department which is sad because the place was PACKED. A few of the items we wanted were out or no longer being served...brunch on a Sunday. Really!?! Okra was overdone, Country-Style Steak was none of the above but rather a chuckwagon-quality "beef" patty drowning in gravy. It was so offensive to eat that my brain won't let me stop reliving the nightmares of each bite. My mom couldn't cook either but she was mom and we learned to stomach some awful food growing up. I found a place worse than mom's. read more

This had become a weekend ritual breakfast place for our family until today. My boyfriend and I went for breakfast, was seated in the far back booth and while looking over the menu, I saw an ant on the table. No big deal, I got rid of it but then to my surprise there were more coming from behind the sugar container, ketchup bottle and all over the jelly packets. We then noticed them on the booth itself. We normally would have left however since we never encountered an issue like this before we asked if we could move seats. While sitting in the other booth the staff members began to clean the previous booth. The waitress felt bad and did not make us pay for our $2.00 toast order. When at the register the management staff didn't apologize or even mention the bug incident. Any other restaurant would have had the management come over while we were still in the booth and apologize and probably would have given us our breakfast for free. I don't care that we had to pay, after all we decided to stay HOWEVER I'm extremely shocked that the owner did not apologize to us. For this reason alone, I won't be going back. read more

Johnny K's was meh. I went there for weekend breakfast and it was about half full inside. The food came out quick but the results were below what I would expect even from a greasy spoon place. Terrible biscuits and the sausage gravy was yucky. The server was very unfriendly although the ladies at the front counter were nice. They did cook my eggs correctly but thats about it. read more

I have been to Johnny K's twice and they were night and day visits. Our waitress could give cared less to be at work or to wait on us she was rude. We bothered her to take our drink order, she brought us soup and then stood there not saying a word so I assume we are supposed to order now? All 3 of us ordered side salad and all of us got brown lettuce 2 chunks of tomato and a ton of onion saddest salad I've ever seen. What restaurant that wants return customers to serve them brown lettuce. I got chicken tips the same thing I got last time, and last time they were juicy and delicious today cold, flavorless, dry, and had chunks of fat still on them. The okra was great! My mom and aunt both got the fried chicken, which was good. We had to track the waitress down for refills and anything else we needed she did not ask us one time if we needed anything a refill, nothing UGH! I won't be back anytime soon and everyone in the party agreed. read more

i've been trying to find a little town diner for sometime now. I think I've found it! Nothing spectacular just plain simple, good service, good food. They way these little places should be. If you want gourmet go into Charlotte. read more

i would like to preface this by saying i NEVER write bad reviews. this place was so bad. if i could give it negative stars i would. it took over 10 minutes to simply get a menu. when the waitress finally took my order it took over half and hour to get my food and the restaurant was nearly EMPTY. when the food came, it wasn't even good. my eggs tasted like wet paper and my pancakes taste more like eggs than my actual eggs did. AND NEVER THE LESS, this piece of crap breakfast was 9 DOLLARS. don't waste your time here:(( read more

The Best Service Ever Fast And Efficient And Great Taste Good For Parties And A Great Place To Eat also Kid Friendly Alcohol Free!

Good diner food. Ate there for breakfast and the spinach and feta omelette was terrific. The hash browns were not though. Clearly frozen and very pasty. Service was great and very quick. read more

Johnny Ks is a nice choice for a solid homestyle country breakfast. It's always the same and it's always just fine for a great price and excellent service, it's a good option. I'm not a huge fan of their lunch or dinner, it's not that it's bad, but there are better options. Also, it's a great place to bring little ones. With friendly and fast service...it always go smoothly. read more

I would feel bad writing this review if I thought it would have any impact on Johnny K's business, but since I'm almost certain that no one who frequents here reads Yelp, or gives a damn what we say, I'll carry on. Having now eaten here 4-5 times, I think I can give it an honest shake. Everything is clean and the service is always good, which is why I threw in the 3rd star, And the lady who owns it with her husband is always super nice. As for the food, it's just your typical meat and potatoes type joint run by a hard working Greek family in the South. A bit too greasy, and a bit too much butter on everything, but always served with a smile and always pretty cheap. There are places I prefer in the area, but when my clients want to eat here, I'm cool with obliging them. read more

there are lots of family-style, "southern cooking" places like this in the area and Charlotte metro in general.... this wasn't much different, but was overall very unimpressive. food was kinda blah, not horrible but nothing fantastic. limited choices and frankly ugly atmosphere. went with a group of 6 people and probably half of us were less than thrilled with our food. the server was friendly and quick (there were no other people in the place when we went though, so that's not saying much). overall, it's just ok. I wouldn't recommend it if you have options, and I won't suggest it as a place for us to go again, but I wouldn't protest if I was with someone who really wanted to go there. I do want to point out we were there for dinner on New Year's Day. we often drive by and see tons of cars in the lot during breakfast and lunch times, so it's apparently popular. read more

Over the last 6 weeks we have ordered a dozen or more times online. Food has been above average. First time we were charged on line however the hostess said they never received an order and had attitude about it. When we got home the charge was there but later didn't go through. Another time we placed an order and they didn't realize we ordered three dinners. Again we got attitude like it was our fault. Today was the last straw. Ordered and picked up food. Got home and what was supposed to be park chops with corn and green beans was fried fish with fried squash and mashed potatoes. I called and the line was busy while I tried to call 12 times. Finally got through and they knew it immediately. Basically if I want anything I had to drive back to the restaurant. Was again made to feel this was my fault. Don't go to Johnny Ks.... even the other two meals we got the roast beef was dry and the aujus was just a light brown broth.... horrible. read more

Finally found a good ole "Meat in 3's" place with one of the best Fried Okras I've had in a long time. Thank you, "P" for recommending the Beef Tips over Rice with Grilled Onions and Green Peppers! It was really good. My co-worker had the Fried Flounder and also enjoyed the meal. The meals and service was definitely worth the trip from Uptown, especially having to go through Independence. read more

Not the best place around for this type of food and price. Atmosphere is shaky and doesn't have that diner feel I'm looking for.

Had brunch with the wife this morning after my hairstylist recommended it yesterday.Really solid breakfast offerings at very reasonable prices. Waitress was real slow with the coffee and water, a ahame because as it was very busy, we would not have minded waiting to order or even for our food once coffee was provided. OK sausage gravy, smallish bacon, nice link sausages, perfectly cooked eggs. French toast was lite and airy. Had to try the corned beef hash, which was solid but should have ordered it crispy. Definately going back. read more
