You may remember that a couple months ago I sampled Johnny’s hot wings. For the sake of variety, Jill and I decided that I should try the jerk wings as well. Still wings but so very different from the hot wings.
I have to confess, I think I prefer the zing of hot wings. Still, the jerk wings were flavorful and delicious. If you’re not a fan of hot wings, I’d say that jerk wings are a yummy alternative. Still tasty, just not spicy!
An enormous half-pound burger served Johnny’s way with bacon and barbecue sauce.
After demolishing this baby, I am so full! Still, it was so delicious that I couldn’t help but eat the whole thing.
As usual, Johnny’s meat was perfectly cooked, leaving this burger warm, juicy, and oh-so-tender. The bacon was crispy and yummy. Top it off with Johnny’s award-winning barbecue sauce and you have a deliciously unique burger.
So which do I prefer– smokehouse burger or dixie burger? It’s a tough question but I’ll try to give you a straight answer. I love Johnny’s barbecue sauce but in my opinion the smokehouse sauce is even better. I liked the two types of cheeses on the smokehouse burger but I love the bacon on the dixie burger. So I’ve come up with a compromise. I think next time I’m craving a burger I’ll try the smokehouse burger but ask for bacon too!
Yum yum yum!
So what’s your favorite: dixie or smokehouse? I’m curious about what everyone else thinks.
And if anyone tries the burger “Mary Catherine’s way” how is it?

Johnny’s croutons are homemade!
I’m not really surprised, since Johnny likes to make everything in-house, but still. HOMEMADE. Not from a box. Fresh and crispy. Made with love.
This explains why they’re so delicious :)
The familiar flavors of hippie meatloaf now brought to you in sandwich form! The hippie meatloaf sandwich is part of Johnny’s Express Menu and is available for only $3. Add veggie sticks or potato chips for only 50¢ more.
This sandwich is heaped with hippie meatloaf and served with Johnny’s signature meatloaf sauce. Basically, it has all the yummy goodness of the hippie meatloaf plate but is a bit smaller. The hippie meatloaf plate has 3 slices of meatloaf and two sides, while the sandwich is 2 slices of meatloaf with the option of veggie sticks or chips. But don’t worry: this sandwich won’t leave you hungry. The hippie meatloaf sandwich is the perfect size for one person.
Next time you need a lunch break, don’t hesitate to come out to the smokehouse for great deals and great food.
This delicious chicken salad sandwich is part of Johnny’s very special Express Lunch Menu. The sandwiches on the Express Menu are only $3! For an extra 50¢ you can add veggie sticks or potato chips. I think all of Johnny’s food is well-priced but the Express Menu is a true bargain!
Just because this sandwich is inexpensive doesn’t mean it is any less delicious! I absolutely love Johnny’s smoked chicken salad. The extra tang of the smoked chicken really makes this chicken salad stand out in the crowd. Keep your tastebuds open to the delicious addition of dried cranberries as well.
This sandwich is a great size for a hungry person! Johnny heaps chicken salad onto the toasted bun until it overflows. Still, it’s not so much that I ever feel over-stuffed after polishing off every delicious morsel.
Johnny’s chicken salad sandwich with veggie sticks is definitely my idea of a perfect lunch. And at such a great price, it’s easy to enjoy it often!
You may remember the special Mardi Gras bread pudding that I loved so much. I’m happy to tell you New-Orleans-style bread pudding has returned to the menu. It may not be available every day, but keep a look out for it and you might get lucky!
This bread pudding reminds me of Johnny’s comfort cobbler (also a personal favorite). It’s served in the same type of oblong dish, making it enough dessert for two. Once again I am happy to report that Johnny’s bread pudding is not at all soggy. Instead, the chunks are moist with yummy raisins mixed throughout. It’s topped with a sugary glaze that I especially love.
So next time you see bread pudding on the dessert board, be sure to order it while you can!

Johnny sure knows how to cook chicken right! I’m usually more of a chicken tenders kind of girl, mainly because I don’t like having to worry about getting the meat off the bones. This half chicken is so tender and moist that I had no trouble at all finding delicious hunks of meat that were falling off and ready to eat.
Let me tell you: this is a lot of meat! I knew a half chicken would be big but I was surprised by how much white meat was packed on. Definitely enough for more than one person. Or if you don’t want to share, save some for later and you’ll have another great meal.
Some customers worry that this chicken is too pink to be safe to eat. Actually, the meat is cooked to a proper 165 degrees, until the juices run clear and the joints move freely– two signs of fully-cooked chicken. Jill explained that the smoking process can leave very distinct pink rings on the meat. Any pink you find in this chicken is just proof of how well it’s been smoked. As Jill assured me, “We’re using real science to cook your chicken; we’re not just wingin’ it!”
Today I paired the chicken with Johnny’s potato salad. I found it to be the perfect balance of hearty potato chunks and crispy onions. Also, you don’t have to worry about being overwhelmed with mayonnaise. Del-icious!
