fried chicken sandwich + mac n cheese
Em B.

party of 4 came here and i am so glad we did! i'm not the biggest burger or bbq fan, so i was hesitant to try, however i was persuaded that local burgy is one of the best local food trucks/trailers. it took awhile for our food to be ready, but they were extremely packed (no available tables) and a long line. once we received our food, i get why the wait was so long. i ordered the fried chicken sandwich topped with herb mayo and mac n cheese. the chicken sandwich was delicious and the perfect texture, and the mac was perfect! my friend got the brisket mac which was even better! the thai chili chicken bites were lacking in flavor and could have used a bit more spice, and the williamsburger was great. the star of the show though was the bbq brisket cheese curds fries. CHICKEN SANDWICH 8/10 MAC N CHEESE 9/10 BRISKET MAC N CHEESE 10/10 THAI CHICKEN BITES 6.5/10 WILLIAMSBURGER 9/10 BBQ BRISKET CHEESE CURD FRIES 10/10 if you're in the area, you'll definitely want to stop here. ice cream is right next door! ambiance: 4.5/5 food: 4.4/5 service: 4.5/5 Local Burgy: 4.5/5

Pork and Brisket Combo Plate
Cait M.

Back again, and still loving this place. I've never been disappointed, and really can't complain that the prices have gone up a bit. I love bbq and have tried many places around western/central mass. Nothing compares; the sauce makes the difference. They're all good!

5 star food from Local Burgy as usual and 5 stars to the server. 0 stars to the guy in blue with a blue headband and the guy in black with the blue headband for berating the server and swearing at her while I was standing at the menu. There is nothing she could have done to deserve a reaction like that. Absolute 0 for professionalism and I'll be skipping this place from now on.

Pulled Pork
BB Q.

First off I'm a BBQ critic and this was my first time here. I've heard amazing good things about their burgers but as much as I wanted one, had to stick to my deal and try their BBQ stuff. Got their 3 meat Combo, Brisket-Ribs-Pulled Pork w/ Baked Beans, Mac and Cheese, Cajun Corn and Cole Slaw. In a nutshell some things were excellent and some were just pretty good. Good portion of food though. Ice cream sold at the little garden center right there but they only take cash. Brisket is super tender! Perfect type of texture for me, very juicy, I know not everyone likes that style but hey. But slathered in sauce and not much flavor to the actual meat. So unfortunately it loses a lot of points there. Pulled Pork. Slathered again, booo. Didn't even have the option of no sauce because it's one of dem slow cooker in a sauce type deals. Which is all good and fine for most people but I just find it offensive to slather any meat with any sauce unless it NEEDS it, but you need to be the judge of that every time. Pork was shredded very well though, not too much fat. And the fact that they went with a honey mustard flavor instead of a regular BBQ sauce ... 10 points! good job. Ribs were HOT and very flat. Not a lot of meat on the bone but usually that means the meat has more flavor. Smoked Almost Perfectly! Not too much Redness, Not Too much Rub but a Great Rub! Meat doesn't fall off the bone too easily which is also a great sign of good Ribs. But SLATHERED AGAIN! Fortunately they didn't slather all the ribs so I was able to eat me some good meat without the sauce. Not to say the sauce was bad either, it was fine. Baked Beans had kind of a Habanero element to them. Orangey zing, can't really put my finger on the spice but the sauce was almost like a sweet and sour taste but made from actual fruits and veggies, if that makes any sense. Very enjoyable! Cajun Corn! Very Surprising! I Likey. Garlicky! Kind of reminds me of a sea food type side dish Cole Slaw is SUPER shredded, barley looked like Cole slaw. All white, typical Cole slaw taste, almost looked like Snow. Some corn bread too but nothing even worth remembering. Mac and Cheese looked Awesome! Tasted ....... Okay. White Cheddar goo and black pepper. It was still good but I'm hunting for some real good stuff here. You'll probably like it.

Outdoor seating at 3:00 pm on a weekday

A large and delicious lobster roll with fries for $20? That's hard to beat, especially where I'm from in Rhode Island. Topping that off with quick friendly service, plus a nice clean outdoor seating area makes this a place I happy go out of my way to patronize!

Outside eating only.. some covered

Quick service with pretty good barbecue food. An open space with tables as well. A bit on the expensive side, but still good value.

Out of business. Service was terrible a week ago before they closed their doors. The musicians they hired was awful and way too loud.

Drove by as I was meeting up with a co-worker and since I was early for my appointment I stopped in…read moreafterwards. Wanted something light as this was a wellness appointment so didn't want to feel full, but also something I could eat after. So hotdogs and chowder it was. They didn't have chowder at first so went with two cheese dogs and as I was checking out they had it so bought some as well. Loved the buttered grilled buns. Dogs could have been crispier for my preference but cheese needed to be on there longer to get more melted. Good flavor with the chowder but needs more filling, I like it thick. I am not up this way often but looking forward to next time and trying something more meal like than a quick snack.

I had heard about Captain Jack's from several people, and was craving a lobster roll, so made the…read more30-mile trip. Not an easy place for my GPS to find, as it's hidden from the road. Plenty of parking, and very impressed with the outdoor seating (some covered, some exposed). Order and pay at one window. Pick up at another. Busy place early afternoon, but my wait time only about 10 minutes. Lobster roll excellent, the smallish bun being overstuffed. I ordered the onion rings instead of fries and was disappointed that they were NOT onion rings. Onion strings (or some people call them onion straws) were given. Large mass of oily straws. Open year-round, although reduced hours off-season. Interesting menu, with various hot dog, chicken, and seafood options. I would rate the lobster roll as 4.5, and the glob of onions as a 2.5. Overall, 4 stars.

Wow. I had never been to Johnny's and tried it tonight with three others. First of all, our server,…read more"Karen 2" (on the bill) was fabulous! I swear the woman could read our minds, anticipating our questions. Now to the food. We started with fried brussel sprouts. Huge portion. Flavorful, not overcooked, just the right amount of crispness...and those bacon pieces!? Yum. I had the chicken wings and a beet salad. I'm a Buffalo, NY native folks, and thus have had my share of great chicken wings. Johnny's wings were on par with anything I've had in the Queen City. My only suggestion to make it real Buffalo style is thick blue cheese dip. The other meals served were amazing - two pasta dishes and the fried chicken. All tasty. Everyone loved their dishes. The prices were very fair for the quality and quantity of food brought to the table. I'm surprised at the 4.1 Yelper average. The meal and service we had tonight was excellent.

I took my daughter to Johnny's for her birthday and was looking forward to trying the restaurant…read moreagain. It had been a while since I was last there. We ordered the calamari for an appetizer and it was very good as usual. Calamari (fried) is served atop an aioli that's heavy with garlic. For my main course I opted for the branzino with seafood risotto. I would not recommend this dish. The branzino came out slightly warmer than room temperature with a big dollop of room temp butter on it. I wonder if the intention was to put the plate under the salamander to warm / crisp things up prior to service but was forgotten. So I scraped the butter off the fish and onto the side plate it went. I was hoping for crispy skin but alas it was not to be found on this dish. Off came the skin and onto the side plate as well. The fish did have a good flavor to it. The seafood risotto was swimming in butter and was not edible. There were several mussels (in the shell) in the risotto, as well as small bay scallops, and several shrimp. The scallops and shrimp were incredibly overcooked and the mussels so gritty that they were inedible. This place used to be my favorite restaurant. I think that this is the last time that I'll dine at Johnny's in Amherst.
