What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Johnny Huston's Grille & Bar receives mixed reviews, with many praising the casual sports bar atmosphere and friendly service. While some diners rave about the burgers and seafood like fish tacos, others find the food quality inconsistent and overpriced, with specific complaints about burgers being dry and certain dishes like mac and cheese being unpalatable.
"Friendly staff, delicious food and tons of TVs! There are extra long booths that could easily seat 8 people. The menu has something for everyone and the portions are large. You will be too full for dessert and may need a box to go. The server checked on us multiple times. I had the shrimp basket with fries and coleslaw. The shrimp was large and the breading was perfect! My friend had the chicken tacos and fries. She did complain that there were fatty parts in the chicken that she didn't care for. But she can make her own review based on her experience. This being my first time here, I was pleased with everything."

"The dirt road on the back way to get to the building needs repair. My car bottomed out twice. The restaurant is decked out 50’s car style with modern sports bar. The walls are lined with TVs, sports, trivia, and more. There is an outside eatting area, though it was nice outside, the seating area is covered, and without the sun the outside seating wasn’t warm. The inside has tables or very large booths. The music was to load, our server had to yell over it, and it was hard to hear. Good music it just needs to be lower. I had one of the specials it was great. The steak & cheese is super greasy have your napkins ready. The Mac & cheese was not good at all, I would not recommend. However they have waffle sweet potato fries that were so good."

"Our first time eating here.
We're locals and have lived here for 5 years.
The sign out front touts, "Best burger in the Gulf. " I beg to differ.
We ordered 3 different burgers: the
50/50, the Alpine and the Bub's. I don't know what happened, but all of our burgers were either lukewarm or cold. All the burgers were dry and overcooked.
The noise level with all of the TV'S going was too much stimuli for anybody!!
The waitress was nice. She was polite but didn't check on us after the food came. Which she did not deliver to the table.
As far as I am concerned, I will probably never go back. I have had an amazing burger at TOPS at 1/2 the price.
Definitely NOT THE BEST in the Gulf or even Navarre."
