    3.5 stars really. Why? It's a good hometown Italian restaurant, nothing spectacular, just good food at a good price. Service is friendly, but sometimes slow. Decor is dated and booth seating is really worn. A must have is the potato soup. Delicious. On my recent visit I got the Cod sandwich. It was very hot and very big. I had to cut it in half. It tasted good and I liked it. It came with homemade tartar sauce... which tasted like mayonnaise. And some bland potato salad. My husband got the spaghetti with one meatball. They use fettuccine noodles and he liked it, said the meatball was pretty good also. If you're in town and you're looking for good Italian this is the place to go to. But I wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

    I drive through Union, MO all the time and had never been to Johnnys Restaurant. On this day I had a group in my car with me and someone suggested Johnnys so there we went. I was a little bit skeptical about Italian food in Union, MO. Hey, it could have been really bad but it was actually quite nice and a pleasant surprise. We started with the Olive Oil & Garlic Plate. They brought out a huge dish filled with olive oil, herbs, and fresh chunks of garlic. It was delicious! I was trying not to fill up on bread but you know I have no willpower. Thankfully I ordered the lunch portion of the tortellini. The waitress suggested the white sauce so I went with that. This was the perfect portion. I didn't quite finish it but the sauce was creamy and garlicky and great. My lunch dates ordered the Famous Cheesesteak Sandwich and a Lunch portion of spaghetti with marinara sauce and vegetables. We were all happy! I wouldn't hesitate to return! Good find!

    Some of the best prime rib in the area.

    Ravioli and potato soup/salad were good. Chicken for the Alfredo was like it was supposed to be fried. But it was soggy and tasted old

    Excellent Antipasta salad, very good Alfredo and Marinara sauces, and Coke products. Could use some EVOO on the table.

    Cool vibe, brewery style. There is technically a view of the river from the patio, but there is…read moreparking directly in front of it, so don't go here just for the view. We came here for the river view and we saw a photo online that looked good. When we asked what it was at the restaurant we learned it was biscuits and gravy and that wasn't what we thought - oopsie lol. We stayed and had some wings and fried cauliflower. The cauliflower was very good! The wings were a bit odd. They were fried but looked yellow and didn't have a lot of sauce. We asked for an extra sauce and it came out frozen... Service was good.

    first impression was it felt family friendly in season with a pool table and foosball in the main…read moreroom and a short shuffle board down the hall. not quite a dozen seats around the bar and a bunch of tables fronting what might be a stage for karaoke or a small combo or a large DJ booth plus a second bar and some hi tops and plenty of outside available on the porch weather permitting. half dozen customers when I stopped in early in the evening early in the week so nothing spooky yet; no draft cider which is disappointing but the Paulaner Grapefruit Radler filled in nicely (especially for a can.) a few minutes later the bartender announces with great flourish that the kitchen closed due to some tragic injustice or gross incompetence or something which I took that as my cue to nope out and catch up with the welders.

    View is incredible, this spot is housed in a cozy historic building on the waterfront. The waitress…read morewas friendly and water glasses filled. The ravioli (a regional specialty) was crispy and came with a red sauce. I asked for my steak to be medium (and specifically said pink throughout). The "sautéed mushrooms" were from a can. There were almost no peppers. When I pointed out the overdone steak to the waitress, she said they get different cooks on the back and she said she would discount the bill (by $2) but did not offer to bring out a medium cooked steak. This was a while back. Hopefully the food quality has improved because the view is truly wonderful.

Shelby pulled a down east blackberry for me and everything seemed right with the world until the we were advised that the sampler wasn't available as advertised... yeah, fine, whatever, sub this and that and it's close enough because poppers, mushrooms, onion rings, and green beans... ordered up two breakfast burgers in the meanwhile and juan shows up to help with the sampler and stuff and when the burgers arrive they're smashed doubles which is a lot of meat under a hashbrown patty under the egg which grant said was too much but I manage to work my way around it slowly and with serious intent which was probably not the smart move because my heart started to hurt a little - good thing I'd got a second cider before attempting it... grant wasn't too impressed with the garlic-parm fries but I found the regular fries to be exceedingly regular and good with ketchup :-) dark inside with lots of TVs and heavy wood that somebody took a hot iron to leaving the lumbering equivalent of frat boy tattoos, it's dark outside as well but with strung lights over the sidewalk. grant says there's some tom foolery available off the bar and some sanctioned gaming as well. not my cup of meat but they don't make anyone play who doesn't want to. the regulars appear well attended and if I stayed near that could be an option.

Surprisingly, a lot of places seemed to be closed on a Sunday, but this place was open. We walked in and had to seat ourselves. You could tell immediately that they were short staffed. There was one bartender and two waitresses. Both waitresses running around like crazy. None of the tables were cleared, we could hear them both complaining to one another and we heard several customers state they were unhappy with either their food or the service. One of the items (buttered penne) on the kids menus that we wanted to order for our son supposedly wasn't served that day, so right off the bat, I was a little disappointed. Their food all comes in those tin to go containers, which was a little odd. Everything seemed sort of dirty. I honestly didn't take any pics because I was just wanting to eat and go. The staff was nice - and by staff I mean the waitress - the bartender looked as inconvenienced as ever when we walked in - that was probably the only Positive - aside from getting to watch the trains go by.
