Soups



Johnny always strives to make food that is good for the soul and his soups are no exception! Pintos are a perfect match for anything on the menu but I’m also happy to have a cup of chili or brunswick stew any time.


Johnny’s soups come in the traditional sizes of cup or bowl but if you’re really adventurous, you should give the endless bowl a try. For only $4.95, it’s as much soup as you can eat. Johnny will keep refilling your bowl with any soup of your choice! So go on, try that cup of pintos. Then the chili. Then the brunswick stew. What have you got to lose?

Fried Mushrooms & Pickles




I’ll be up front and say that I don’t like mushrooms or pickles. They’re on my list of foods that I routinely “eat around” and leave on my plate if they happen to be mixed in with something I’m eating.


But I agreed to try Johnny’s fried pickles and fried mushrooms anyway. I wasn’t sure that I would like them but I knew they deserved a chance.


The verdict: YUMMY! I probably won’t be ordering either one instead of a brisket quesadilla any time in the future, but I wouldn’t mind eating them again.


Both the pickles and mushrooms were fried right. The batter wasn’t too thick yet still lent the right amount of fried flavor give the mushrooms a unique taste. Inside the batter, the pickles were still surprisingly crisp and fresh. To top it off, these dishes are both served with Johnny’s delicious smokehouse sauce. I think I would eat nearly anything if only it were dipped in this amazing sauce!
