    Lamb lollipops
    Cynthia G.

    I'm a long way from home.. clear across the US! And coming from California my expectations on food are pretty high. If you're not from around here, don't let the kids inside fool you. I was unaware at first if it was family friendly because the first thing I saw was more bar area than restaurant and we were ready to drive off. So happy we stayed! The inside is just that. A bar n grill. Cozy home like vibe. I'm sure everyone knows each other. We got the ribs, lamp lollipops , burger and drinks! Fantastic flavors! My lamb was cooked great! Although the mash could have used a little more flavor but that was on me for not taking the gravy! Great great first meal upon our arrival here in Massachusetts!

    Spiced Shrimp Casa (piri-piri sauce)

    My first time visiting this portuguese restaurant. The food was very good, with lots of flavors. Our server was very friendly & gave us great food recommendations. I recommend visiting this true gem in Chicopee for some authentic portuguese food.

    16oz sirloin on hot rock

    Highly recommend sirloin on hot rock! Place is nothing fancy. My kind of style though. Service was ok. Only one server. Food was worth the wait.

    Under new management
    Dan R.

    So I don't know if it was an off night or if this restaurant has taken a turn for the worse since they are "under new management", but this place let us down. When we entered the restaurant we were excited to try out this hole in the wall after reading a fellow Yelper's review, but we quickly became dissapointed with our experience. The restaurant itself is in need of repair, but that doesn't impact this review. What does affect it is the terrible service we received as well as the fact that the food was bland and lacked heart. We didn't get silverware, it took forever to get plates because they "ran out", and the waitress was beyond absent. The bartender was actually the person we interacted with the most. The shrimp Mozambique was not actually shrimp Mozambique but grilled shrimp with hotsauce. We were rationed Portuguese rolls and there was no real difference between the Seafood Rice my wife bought and the Mariscada I had for dinner. The only difference was the half of a lobster and the price. The final nail in the coffin was the atmosphere with some of the other diners. We couldn't tell if the family having a domestic dispute or the table full of men demeaning women was worst. That being said, if we were looking for an average meal this restaurant would meet the build but having expected a little more we were definitely dissapointed.

    This place is great! Real comfortable in a friendly atmosphere. I had steak on a stone and it was delicious. Along with a beer and some Keno, can't go wrong. The bread was amazing too.

    Feijoada, pork, pork belly, beef, chouriço, cabbage and kidney beans served with rice. Doubt you'll find better!!!

    I like this family run, little Portuguese restaurant in Chicopee. Mom is in the kitchen cooking up some of the best Portuguese food around. I stopped yesterday for lunch and had Feijoada, the national dish of Portugal, I have had it many times before in other restaurants and this is just as good if not better in many respects as I have had. It is made with pork, pork belly, beef, chourico, cabbage, red kidney beans and served with yellow rice. It is a stew cooked low and slow which allows the flavors to meld, producing a medley of culinary symphonic ecstasy. In true Portuguese fashion, Portuguese bread always accompanys the meal, along with black olives. I ordered a glass of Portuguese red wine which was positively delightful along side the Feijoada, total price out the door before tip was $13.13, a value. This is a a real hidden gem in Chicopee and I plan to run the menu, sampling as many of those "Old World" Portuguese comfort food delights as possible.

    A hidden gem in Chicopee. Layback, good food, Keno, jukebox and great atmosphere. Try the clams al pato and 16oz Ribeye steak.

    The food, service and ambience is amazing!! I've been here about 5 times and every thing is always…read moregreat

    This place is adorable. It's small but it is decorated beautifully and has a great esthetic…read more Service was ok. She was pleasant but seems tired. The clam chowder was very tasty. It didn't have very much in it as far as clams and potatoes but it was delicious. Not your typical NE chowder but good all the same. The little crackers they serve with it are good too. The onion soup on the other hand was just too much. The onions on top get soaked into the soup and it just becomes a bowl of mush. Not appetizing at all. For apps we got the quahogs and fries. The quahogs although tasty were tiny. Clam size. I'm not sure if it's because it's off season or what but I've never had one so small and at $6 per you'd think you'd get a little more. The fries came to the table and we asked if they were always so dark...they were burnt and hard and the waitress said "sometimes they are darker sometimes lighter" well friend these are charcoal. She got us a new order which came out quickly and they were cooked correctly. They had Parmesan and garlic and still felt like they lacked flavor. We added salt it helped a bit but the shining star was the homemade ketchup. It was delicious. We finished our meal with the carrot cake. The photos do it no justice. It is huge and so amazing. Best we've ever had. I was told it's made in house I'm not sure if that's true or not. Overall a big disappointment. I don't think the best thing you've eaten at a place should be dessert or condiment but that's the case. I would say go for the cake and cocktails.

    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.

    8/23/24: Absolutely obsessed with the roasted peppers and corn ribs. The corn ribs were 10x better…read morethan the bar in Tarrytown, NY that introduced me to the idea of corn ribs which was a welcome treat because I LOVE this trend/idea. This time I got the braised pork and polenta and this one is on me because I don't usually like braised pork or polenta too much but it sounded interesting and I wanted to try it. It wasn't my favorite but that's more about my taste than anything. The peach crumble was absolutely spectacular and I'm glad they learned from last time and made the ice cream sweeter (the creme fraiche on the dessert I got last time was not sweet whatsoever). Can't wait to see what's on the menu next time I'm here! 7/3/25: God, I love it here! This year, I got two mocktails, the ruby Tuesday and orange lovely, because I couldn't choose and loved both of them! Then I started with the pickled carrots which were absolutely delectable. The turmeric honey and chili oil sauce was absolutely PERFECT. If I wasn't worried about social standing I would've licked that plate clean. I never thought I would enjoy eating carrots so much. Then came my queso mac and cheese that I took myself I would only eat half of so I could take the rest home and not hurt my stomach but I couldn't help myself. This was one of the best mac and cheese I've ever ordered at a restaurant. It was made with cotijia, had tortilla chips and cilantro in it with onion on top to pull it all together. Chef's kiss. I had to get dessert since I only come once a year and this orange almond cake was SOOOO GOOOD ughhhh I wish this restaurant was in Westchester I'm an avid nuts-in-dessert hater and this cake had me eating spoonfuls of almonds. I think they converted me. It was so moist and sticky and beautiful and the almonds were perfectly toasted and crispy without being like chewing on rocks. I am obsessed. 10/11/25: Back at my favorite restaurant! Got to have some new variations of the great things I loved in the past: fire roasted peppers (this time with ricotta!) and pickled carrots with turnips. I also got the orange lovely again because it was favorite of the two I got last time. So yummy still! I also got the general tso cauliflower and it was so good but also spicy!! Now this butter braised tomato soup was absolutely fantastic. Best tomato soup I've ever had. And the plum galette was perfection. I really have no notes because as I keep saying, everything I ever get from here is absolutely fantastic.

    The service was extraordinary. The staff was enthusiastic and accommodating! Everything we ate was…read moresublime: fried chicken, blackened skate, mac and cheese, corn ribs, tomato salad! And the cocktails were inventive and tasty. You need this restaurant in your life!
