I would consider this an outdoor dive bar. The indoor area really is just to cover patio. It's full open air there isn't enclosed kitchen area for staff. The bar is pretty big with good service. They're waitresses running around everywhere. It seems like a sit anywhere type of situation. I got a breakfast hangover burger which is served on a French toast bun. Burger itself was pretty good and the rest of the food others got at the table was pretty good as well. Nothing to complain about here! They set up a stage in the parking lot and had live music playing so it was worth hanging out for just for the drinks and music. read more

Johnny's Other Side - Breakfast hangover burger. - Sports Bars Near Me - Orlando, Florida

My sisters and I decided to stop by for breakfast since we live close by and thought the breakfast menu looked like a really good deal. When we walked in, we weren't sure if we were supposed to wait to be seated or just sit wherever, so we stood there for a bit waiting for someone to acknowledge us. A few staff members looked right at us, but no one said anything, and we felt really uncomfortable and awkward. Eventually, one of the servers turned around (there were several servers just standing and talking in a circle by the way) and said, "Sit anywhere," but it came across as pretty rude. Since it was our first time there, we had no way of knowing that it was self-seating. A simple "Hi! You can sit anywhere" would've made a big difference. We ended up leaving because the whole interaction just didn't feel very welcoming, especially on a holiday when we were just trying to enjoy breakfast together. Afterward, I read through some of the other reviews and saw that other people have mentioned having similar experiences with not being acknowledged when they walked in or even after they were seated. read more

Best wait staff ever. Sitting there we could see a staff conscious of paper on the floor and keeping the tables bussed. Fantastic job keeping the place clean! Local Orlando vibe in an open air venue with live music. The food was good. Buffalo chicken sandwich and burgers are better options than wings and raw tuna. Music acoustics were good. read more

Came here with some friends to watch a friend play a set. The parking can get full and it definitely was when we got there so I was glad we carpooled as we parked in the only spot we could find. This place is a seat yourself wherever you find a place and the server will come to you. They do have indoor and outdoor seating. We initially sat outside because the weather was nice, but it seemed like the servers didn't really venture to frequently out that way so when a table opened up inside, we moved and the service was instant and much better. I ordered the buffalo chicken wrapped with grilled chicken, pretzel bites and curly fries. The curly fries were good. Although my friend said she wished they were more curly so there's that. I split the buffalo chicken wrap with her and it was fantastic. We did ask for mild and fair warning it was a bit spicier than we anticipated but still very good! The pretzel bites with the beer cheese were also excellent. Drinks wise it's what you would expect for a bar. I ordered a Paloma and it was pretty good. Entertainment was great. All in all a fun little spot to hang. read more

Johnny's Other Side has a fantastic vibe and seriously delicious food. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, making it a great spot to hang out with friends. My party and I happened to go during a time when they were offering half-off menu prices, which made the experience even better and let us try more dishes without breaking the bank. That said, there were a couple of things that took away from an otherwise great visit. When we walked in with water bottles, someone at the entrance rudely told us there was no outside food or drinks allowed. The interaction felt unnecessarily rude bc this could have communicated more nicely to us. While we were there, we noticed several other people walk in who also didn't see the sign, which suggests it probably needs to be relocated or redesigned so it's more visible. They also lose another star because the food took longer than expected to come out. Overall though, the quality of the food and the atmosphere are excellent, and with a couple small improvements to service and signage, this place could easily be a top-tier spot. read more

Lunch time today was at Johnny's, it was early before 12pm so seating was not an issue. Server came right away and took our orders. I ordered the Chilli hot Dogs basket, 2 hot dogs with curly fries. The hot dog was good, chilly was good, I don't have anything that really stood out about it. Also ordered the Barbecue wings, they were not crispy enough for me and the barbecue tasted like just a regular sauce, lacked flavor, I didn't like them. I've eaten here before and had a burger, decided to give it another try, it's decent if I'm in the area and super hungry or maybe try their drinks, it does seem like a great hang out spot and bites while hanging out! Open patio style with fans and some mist! read more

I went to Johnny's Other Side for brunch. I started off with a mimosa that was great! I ordered a breakfast burrito. The burrito was filled with crispy bacon, cubed fried potatoes, cheese and fluffy scrambled eggs. It was very good. They were crazy busy, so it took longer than normal for the food to come. Our server kept checking in and letting us know that the food was coming and apologized for the wait. It is a really cool place is is very clean. read more

My husband and I ordered takeout and it was absolutely delicious. We've been patrons of Johnnys Other Side since we moved to the area, 3 years ago. This past Tuesday we wanted some delicious wings at home to watch the game with, and Johnnys takeout was the move! Packaged wonderfully and still hot when we got home. I'd never ordered from them togo before, but I will be doing it again! read more

What a great little local place! People are friendly. The food is good.. there's live entertainment on the weekends. This place has such a local vibe. It's great.! I had the boom boom shrimp. !!! it was delicious, the service is very friendly, and if you give it a try, you'll become a regular! read more

Sat down, waited, watched other tables next to us get their drinks in, but still not one single acknowledgement to our table. Walked out. I had heard a lot of great things, but I'm sorry this happened. Very unfortunate. read more

Fun environment, Lian the bartender was wonderful!! Food is pretty tasty, and you can even check out Johnnys the first while you're there

We came here after a good experience by someone in our party and we were looking forward to it. If you come during brunch, you are only able to order from that menu. Also, it is first come seating, so you just sit where you find a table. It was busy when we got there and it took a very long time for us to get our server to stop by. All other servers ignored us and didn't acknowledge us to tell us if we needed anything. We finally ordered some drinks and placed our order. We got the deviled eggs (a bit hard), a pancake, chopped cobb salad, Johnny's breakfast sandwich (it was good) and wings (they were on the dry side). We may have to try it again during lunchtime to see if we get a better experience. read more

Wanting a good burger and not wanting fast food, I decided to stop in at Johnny's Other Side this afternoon for lunch. This place is always packed in the evening and on weekends, so a last day of winter on a sunny Wednesday afternoon was perfect for sitting outside. I ordered the cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle with a side of curly fries and washed it down with a pint of Guinness stout. When the bartender asked me what I wanted on tap, I told her that I did not go out on Saint Patrick's Day, so I may as well make up for it with a Guinness. I do not stop in here often. But when I do, the food and service is always great. And like I said, Johnny's is always busy in the evening and weekends. Especially during football season. With Spring starting tomorrow with some nice weather before the humidity kicks in, drop in when you get a chance. read more

I've been to Johnnys fillin Station and Other side many times, but never for brunch. I was AMAZED!....everything on the brunch menu is 50% off on Saturday from 8-11am. Maybe 9:00. Not exactly sure what time they start. That half off includes liquor! They offer pour your own Mimosas. You can buy the bottle for 1/2 off of the $18 it normally cost for $9!!....i made a pig of my self and ordered 2 complete brunch entrees and finished both. I had a bacon and cheese omelette with crispy potatoes. Fantastic. I also ordered the biscuits and gravy. While I've had much better sausage gravy, the bacon is thick and not overcooked. It also came with 2 eggs cooked perfectly over medium and those delicious crispy potatoes. It was very busy but our server was outstanding. Big smile and happy to be there. If you've never been to the Other Side, it's kind of outside so if the weather is nice it's perfect. I was reluctant to spread the word because this is the best deal in Orlando for brunch on Saturday and I don't want to have to wait for a table. Kidding aside, if you've never been there for brunch, check it out. You'll be pleasantly shocked! read more

Great service! Food was good. I was just a little shock at the prices of an Italian margarita, it's not on their menu so they charged a lot for a top shelf margarita with a shot of amaretto. For 3 small size margaritas was almost $80! Won't be ordering that again! read more

Last few times we've been there the service was awful. Short brunette lacks personality and is always a little snippy. The one with drawn on eyebrows acts like she's better than the women at the table, but is playful with the men. The music is so loud you can't even have a conversation. Not sure what's going on with the "reserved" tables these days, but my husband and son went there last week for dinner and sat at a table that was NOT marked reserved, and the little brunette came up and rudely told them it was reserved, even though not marked. Didn't bother to help them find a non-reserved table, just walked off. You want good service after working all day. This is definitely not happening here these days. read more

I've been in Orlando for 6 years now and finally made my way to Johnny's Other Side. Nothing can beat Tuesday's half off limited menu and $6 20oz Modelos.

It had been years since I had been to Johnny's Other Side. We decided to go one Sunday to watch the football games. Overall, a great place to watch Sunday football, as they have the NFL ticket. Kid friendly too, however, since it is "outside" so smoking is allowed. Food - not many items on their menu. However, on the weekends they do have a brunch menu too. Brunch is served from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. Food was decent and came out quickly. I had the turkey Rueben. Drinks - they have drink specials on the weekends aka "liquid brunch." Plenty of beer choices to choose from and a huge selection of bourbon if that is your thing. They also have the Heineken 00 which is a huge hit for me while being pregnant. I still can partake in the football vibe. Overall, a great place to spend some time on the weekend. read more

Wonderful lunch at Johnny's Other Side in Orlando. Started with some super tasty deviled eggs.

Johnny's Other Side - Blackened Shrimp tacos! - Sports Bars Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This is definitely where the locals go, at least this local. I think their food is always spot on, and the bar is soooo well stocked with bourbon and whiskey. Great draft selection, too. I love the open air space, through I wish they had more smaller tables (lots of bigger 5+ options) close to the bar. I have to say, I was very sad when they changed their pet policy to no longer allow dogs on the weekends. Always get the ranch here, it's great. They also have the most amazing brunch deal, Saturday 9-11am is half off entrees. Service has been hit or miss the many years I've visited. It seems to be worse if you go on the weekends for breakfast. I go anyway because I love the atmosphere, just don't be in a hurry. The bartenders are usually great through. Huge parking lot and self seating are big ++s too! read more

I love this place!!! The outside seating is wonderful and it's mostly covered. There fans and misters too. The food is just regular sports bar bites. The turkey sandwich was pretty good, but definitely could make the same one at home, it's just nice having someone else make it for you. The mac & cheese bites were also delicious. I believe they are made from scratch, but I'm not positive. We have gone for brunch and I got the corn beef hash and it was delicious. I think about it all the time. We went for a football game so it was rather busy, but our server was very on top of it and attentive. Some of the TVs are kind of old and blurry. read more

I love this place. I went once a long time ago but since coming here Recently during football season, I have taken my parents here twice and it will not be a place I take anyone coming out of town to. I like that it's in a unique area, nestled just outside the SODO area. It isn't smack dab in the middle of downtown so it's a little easier to get to. I love the fact that it is an indoor/ outdoor venue. The area is somewhat covered but if it rains hard, you're getting wet! They have a good happy hour that differs each day. My parents and I tried a pulled pork sandwich which was very good. They have live entertainment and last time we were here they had a really good acoustic player. So we watched golf highlights while watching live music. It was great. I'm looking forward to seeing other bands play here. I will say, I wish their bar was bigger. For me, who doesn't have a. Big family and lives life at the bar instead of taking up a table, they have a very small bar in the front that is always without a doubt packed to the brim. Looking at it logistically If they could have the bar also extend to the outdoor area, I think it would really spruce the bar seating up. Otherwise, check this place out! read more

The slogan at Johnny's is "where locals go," and I think this is the most accurate way to describe it! The open air seating, bumping music, and casual ambiance make it a great place to relax. I'm a big fan of the jalapeño cheddar burger during dinner time, but this was my first visit for brunch on Saturday. First of all, I was unaware of their half-off brunch deal from 9am-11am! What an absolute STEAL I got this meal for - you can't beat it! We went early and beat any crowds. The iced coffee was great with the perfect amount of sweetness, and the crispy potatoes were perfectly crisp and a unique take on breakfast potatoes. I enjoyed the breakfast sandwich as well! I will say, if you're in a hurry - this might not be your spot. Service is never quick here, and it's usually packed when I go - but the servers are kind and I've never had an order I wasn't happy with. Just come and be prepared to relax and hang for awhile! read more

I came to Johnny's Other Side today to celebrate my daughter's birthday, expecting the same positive service I'd had before. Unfortunately, this visit was extremely disappointing. When my husband first arrived, he was told we could push two tables together for our large party. But shortly after, a younger server came over and said she didn't know why we were given that option because she still had tabs open at one of the tables. I explained we weren't expecting our guests for another 30 minutes, but she dismissed that and suggested we sit outside instead, adding, "It's hot right now, but when the sun goes down it will be nice." I never agreed to move outside, but I didn't mind the idea because it would have given my son space to run around. Still, the server insisted there was a working TV out there so my husband could watch the Cowboys game. Once we checked, another waiter told us--rather condescendingly--that the TV was not working and added, "Maybe she didn't know." The entire interaction felt dismissive and unwelcoming. What should have been a fun birthday dinner turned into one of the most uncomfortable restaurant experiences I've ever had. I no longer recommend Johnny's Other Side and won't be returning. read more

My family had lunch at Johnny's Other Side today. Our server was very pleasant throughout the meal. She was very attentive to our twin four year old grand daughters and was very patient with them as they gave her their orders. The food tasted excellent. Portion sizes and prices are excellent. I enjoyed the Cubano Bowl that I ordered. Tomorrow I'll finish my leftovers! The main reason I'm writing this review is that my birthday was this weekend. We traveled to Orlando from Palm Beach County to visit Sea World and Epcot with family. Needless to say, it was a busy weekend. At lunch today, my grand daughters gifted me some cards with the twins' and their older sister's handprints pressed onto the papers. My daughter also gave me a bag with a few birthday presents. With the hustle and bustle of last minute good byes, I left the bag with the girls' handprints and gifts at Johnny's Other Side. I didn't discover that I left the bag behind until we were back in Palm Beach County. Immediately I called the restaurant. Yes, the bag was still there. I told the lady who answered the phone that I was in Palm Beach County. She asked me if someone local (to Orlando) could pick it up for me. Right away, I called my son who picked the bag up in about 30 minutes! I can't say thanks enough to the server(s) who turned in and held the bag at the restaurant. We'll be back to Johnny's Other Side, that's for sure! read more

This was my 2nd time here I was in town for work and I enjoy their wings. The ambiance is a cool dive bar feel with nicknacks and things hanging from the ceiling.

Sometimes I hate posting about places I love. The selfish part of me wants to keep it to myself! Johnny's Other Side, is a phenomenal bar and bistro. The outdoor venue with open seating and an unshaded grassy patio is the perfect spot for a casual dining experience. There are plenty of televisions and 9/10 live music is being played. I've now visited a few times for the Saturday brunch and I want to cancel all my weekend plans just so I'm able to go weekly. The food is amazing, the staff like Ava and the bartender whose name I can't recall are sweet and helpful. I'm almost positive the Chef Felix who we had the pleasure of meeting, is the reason for the perfectly flavored food. Every item is cooked to order, so be patient and kind to the staff. Enjoy! read more

Stopped in here with a friend to grab some food. Place wasn't too busy, but we also arrived around 9pm. Bartender was friendly, and came immediately over to greet us. Got us our order of drinks and we asked if the kitchen was still open. She said yes. While we were looking at the menu, someone came over to tell her kitchen was about to close. So we were rushed a little bit to order. Food came out ridiculously fast - but it was good. Tater tots were crispy, and his burger was hot and fresh. My wrap was good, just was dripping with whatever sauce comes on it, I think maybe ranch? Next time I'll order it on the side. We ate our food, and bartender came over a few more times to see if we "needed anything else". I think they were just ready to close and get out of there. Parking is easy, and staff and service are usually on point. Will be back - great place in the neighborhood! read more

Johnny's Other Side is the covered outdoor dining area next to Johnny's Filling Station (both are excellent, by the way). Their menus are great (I've been here for weekend brunch as well as lunch and dinner), and feature the usual bar fare. If you're looking for a recommendation on their brunch menu, the shrimp and grits are full of flavor (with an amazing sauce) and the espresso martini is an absolute indulgence. For dinner, their beet veggie burger is my favorite! But you can't go wrong with anything on their menu. read more
