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

Our server was great, friendly and attentive. We had an issue with a beer and they resolved it with no stress. Food came out hot, fresh and delicious. In the main area they have an open kitchen so you can see(and smell!) all the delicious food they are creating. The second eating room is larger but it was really loud in there with people laughing and having a good time. I highly suggest the Patty Melt and the Spicy Pepper jack Burger.

My wife and I visited from Texas, and the atmosphere is the perfect mix of bar/grill the options were not overwhelming and the food was right on point! The staff was so helpful and great to be around, everyone had such a fun attitude and had smiles not only when serving us but also when they were away from our table. A++

It was a little odd that food was served as they made it instead of serving us all at once...but the food was fresh and hot. It wasn't a fancy place more of a bar/burger joint but the burgers were made to order and good. My son got the last 2 sloppy joe sliders and he thought they were delicious.

I liked the food. The staff seemed a little harried, but it was a weekend. Most of the waitstaff was very nice and friendly. Seating is tight, tables small, so they kind of take your food away in order to make room for plates, drinks, and whatnot. We ordered the burger of the month, BBQ bacon, and a royal, a classic double, we both liked our burgers. I didn't love the apple pie pot stickers, there was a strange taste and the wrapper was a little too tough. The space is cute and they have the pee-wee Herman bike hanging from the ceiling, epic. The buffalo chicken fries were really yummy, highlight of the evening

Stopped in here after we walked the La Mesa farmers market. Walked through the restaurant in order to get to the back patio. We order the steak sandwich, since it came with salad and fries. The other was the Jalapeno burger. Both were good. The Moscow mule and old fashioned were both great and had a wonderful booze kick.

Kids liked their burgers the chicken tenders were good. But we ate the appetizers on a napkin on the table as no plates came. My "steak sandwich" was terrible. I had a bite and my daughter tried it and that was it. Plain piece of steak with no flavor or seasoning on a thin piece of sourdough toast. The side salad came plain with a few brown pieces of lettuce and fries were fine.

About 7:00 on Tuesday night we were hankering for a burger. About 6 customers, told us to sit anywhere. And then, nothing. Not even a nod for a solid 15 min. Made me feel like chopped liver😠And so, we left. Plenty of restaurants in La Mesa! Jeeze….

I went to this restaurant Monday around 3pm based on a recommendation, but unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. When I arrived, no one greeted me, and I had to wait while the servers chatted before acknowledging me. I was told I could sit anywhere, and after choosing a spot, a waitress dropped off the menu but wasn’t very friendly. When I mentioned it was my first time, she basically said, “Everything tastes good. It’s up to you.” 20 minutes went by, she never returned. I guess she left for the day and didn't tell anyone that she seated me. Finally, the bartender noticed me and was very sweet and apologetic, trying to take my order. By that time, I had already decided to leave. The poor service left a bad impression, so I went to Dukes instead, and their burgers were incredible! I don’t recommend Johnny B’s based on my experience. If you’re looking for a great burger with friendly service, Dukes down the street is a much better choice. Photo is from Dukes!
