First time at Johnny Blake’s Public House, and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming — a great spot to kick back with friends. The food was way better than I expected for a pub, especially the burgers and wings. Everything came out fresh and flavorful. The drinks were solid, and the staff was friendly and on top of things without being overbearing. It’s the kind of place you feel comfortable hanging out at for a while.

The food, service and atmosphere is a total vibe. Light music good drinks and fresh good food consistently. My favorite is the whiskey bourbon shrimp, shown in the picture I added. It’s definitely a five star stop, see Riley and Alissa at the bar they’ll take good care of you!

Went here for the first time last night before a concert. Took us an hour and that’s no exaggeration to get our food. However, drinks and food were really good. The chicken fajita wrap was great. After I spoke with the manager they ended up taking off some of the bill which was not expected. Overall, would go back again. Our server was great.

Food is amazing. I have no idea how I don’t have a review for this place They have the best steak bites around! Zip sauce is makes the difference. Order the zip sauce on the side. Extra. Ten times better and less mess. I just ordered the calamari for the first time and it was amazing as well other than the sauce for dipping was super mayo like and not enough zest But my #1 place!!!
