Community Rating
Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
Reviews and inspection point the same way here. Reviewers who mention service rate this place 4.5 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour.
The split is 18 positive to 2 negative across 21 rated reviews, with 1 in the middle. If you had to pick one number to represent this corpus it would be 5, the most frequently given rating (17 reviews).
Against that, the kitchen inspects well — an A (93/100), 1 intermediate and 4 basic violations at the most recent DBPR visit. DBPR last walked in on January 28, 2026. Across its inspection history the kitchen is declining, which argues for reading the older reviews with caution. On health score it sits safer than 53% of the Orange County restaurants we grade. The citations behind that grade include in-use food dispensing utensils properly stored and food-contact surfaces clean and sanitized.
Both measures agree, which is the least complicated version of this page. Read the originals below and judge the pattern yourself.

A hole in the wall but great burgers.

We love Johnny's. Monday nights the burgers are 6.00, and delicious. The atmosphere is nothing to write home about, but the food makes up for it!
-
Great drinks, food, and low prices in an out door environment. Saturday mornings is the best time to go. Only wish we could bring our 🐕 with us

Great burger!

One of the best places for a Chicago style hot dog in Orlando.

São mais de 20 anos de história que temos com o JFS. Depois de rodar o mundo, essa é, sem dúvida alguma, a melhor lanchonete que existe. O cardápio é incrivelmente completo e tudo é delicioso, quase impossível decidir o que comer e sempre fica a necessidade de voltar para comer o que deixamos de pedir. Para quem vai pela primeira vez, pode até estranhar o ambiente e também o serviço, mas vai ficar adepto depois de comer…

Good drinks, great food, and a laid-back atmosphere. Good place to meet friends and have a drink or a bite to eat. Pool tables as well for those who like to play.

Good place to enjoy the game and have fun

Food is good. Nice atmosphere. Plenty of TVs for sports viewing. Nice sports bar even has pool tables

We didn’t get her name because she wasn’t wearing a name tag, so we’ll call her the “blonde attitude waitress.” From the moment we walked in, her attitude was terrible and rude, dismissive, and unprofessional. We’ve been coming to this establishment for years and have never had an issue. In fact, we’ve had this same waitress before, and she’s been borderline with an attitude in the past, but today was the icing on the cake. I brought friends here because I’ve always talked this place up the food, the laid-back atmosphere, everything. Unfortunately, this waitress completely ruined that experience. When we politely asked her to wipe a spot off the table, she came back, stood there holding the rag, and said nothing. Just stood there. When my friends moved so she could clean it, she caught an attitude and mumbled something under her breath. Completely uncalled for. Then instead of continuing to serve us, she handed us off to another waitress. At no point were we rude to her. There was no reason for the behavior we received. The food is good, and this place has been around a long time—but the attitude of this particular staff member is unacceptable and needs to be addressed. If this is the kind of service customers are going to get, I wouldn’t recommend coming here, no matter how good the food is.

Updated recent review: We went to the Otherside of Johnny's Filling Station to eat outside (not the main building), and though the food was good, it cost more money than the inside restaurant, and our server was horrible. Horrible! It was painful to give that girl the $20.00 tip... however, waitressing is hard and I could not, not tip her. ...oh, but for the first time in my life, I was tempted to leave $1. We had to flag her down to refill every drink... as in, she would take the one cup and turn before we could give her a 2nd cup... we asked her for condiments, and had to fetch them from another table before the food got cold. One fry 'basket' was full, one was 1/2 empty... no way to ask her about it because she never checked on us after the food arrived. I went to the bar to get our check... and had to go back there to bring her the credit card to pay for it. Management: 2.20.2026 2:08 pm There were 5 of us. ONLY FIVE. They were not busy... plenty of open tables. It's tough... we will probably go back... but though her name is not on the check (server: Otherside S), I will know her and seek another server or management before I allowed her to wait on me/us again. Went there late night and sat outside, live music, great wait staff, food was above par! We had wings, fries, burgers, appetizer, salads, and would order it all again! Lexi D was our waitress and she was friendly, helpful, kept our drinks full, and added value to our evening out! Love this place! A go to every…
