Johnny B's Burgers, Brew & Spirits, La Mesa CA

Had a group of 16. Was told can not do separate checks. There was a fee for credit cards and of course they added the tip. It made it very difficult. In fact it took longer to do the cards and cash then it would have if they did separate checks. The food was just ok.nothing spectacular.

We have been going there for years. Always good food and service. Apparently a large party is not their forte. They wouldn’t split the bill nor was I advised of that when calling to reserve the tables. Our waitress was a great server. No problem returning my drink-margaritas used to be the best-it was awful. Overall, I do t recommend a party over 4!

Bad experience. Burgers were inedible and soggy. For 13 bucks is just less than mediocre. Save your money and go somewhere else. Rude and incompetent bar tender lady. Should be home knitting because she's ancient and highly venomous. Waiter disappeared for 30 mins while waiting on our table and no explanation. Beware!

I eat here about once a week. Full bar, excellent craft beer selection. The servers all help each other out and are super nice. Lots of TV's showing an excellent selection of sports programs. It's a great place to watch a game! The food is really good with something for everyone although the burger patties seem smaller and pre-made these days. The fries and house made chips are awesome. Sucks to have to pay for metered off-street parking but you can usually find a space pretty easily. The age group seems to run towards the 40yr+ probably because the prices are reasonable and the food is consistent. I always recommend Johnny B's because the menu has something for everyone.

It was my 1st time … and Wow … burgers are Amazingly good.had the jalapeño burger and fries! Also customer service was great too.thanks lauren c … ️️️️️

The burger and fries were pretty good. The beer was super flat even tho it was on tap. The service was poor, waitresses weren't really attentive at all. Place wasn't even that busy either. Also ordered jalapeno poppers and you can taste that they're pre-made and frozen. They had 0 spice flavor.

One of the most disappointing meals I have ever had and for thirty dollars. First of all I ordered an old fashioned cocktail, pretty simple and they put a whole orange with the skin in my drink. I couldn't even drink from the straw due to the orange. What gets worse it's that my burger was one of the most bland burgers I have ever had, I ordered a Hickory bbq burger. There was barely any sauce on the burger and they added lettuce and tomato when it's a bbq burger! The ingredients were very low quality and they charge $14 for it with no fries, they cost extra 4.50 to be exact! For fries we ordered the fries and onion ring platter to share, there was barely and fries and onion rings, the fries were not seasoned either and the onion rings didn't taste great. Then we ordered some "nachos" and we got potato weddings with blue cheese and some of the most dry chicken I have ever had, those were not nachos. Worse of it I saw a guy walk thru the back with frozen onion rings from the grocery store, and they charge 6 dollars for them when you can buy a whole bag for 10. For 30 dollars you can walk down the street to Boss Bird get a good chicken burger with fries and a good cocktail for $30 and tastes amazing. The only redeeming factor was that our waiter was really nice and quick to assist our big group, the back patio seating was nice also but that is it. Can't believe they been established since 1999 and haven't changed up their menu and are greedy with their portions, there needs to be a change of management since they seem to be stuck in 1999. I have no photos to add since the food was an insult to my taste buds I rather forgot about the experience.

YES YES YES! 5 STARS
The service is absolutely amazing! You feel like family walking in, even when its busy! Refills keep coming, and we have always been constantly checked on.
The food is amazing! Chicken wings are amazing crunchy and tender, and the burgers are juicy! I love this place. Portions are great, prices are very affordable, and the food taste amazing. Love going there for the padre games!

First time. Bit of a wait, but that's because the place was hoppin on a Tuesday. Friendly server gal. Burger was tasty and juicy. Fries were bomb. Beer was cold. I was happy. All is good. I'll be back! Was also nice to sit on the patio and chill and people watch

If you're in the area, you gotta check this place out. Patty Melt or Hickory Chicken Sandwich are my recommendations, but never had a bad thing on the menu.
