Johnson's Corner Restaurant - Alton, Illinois

Johnsons has been pretty good my entire life. Last time I went was the first time since Jimmy's passing and it was not the same. I ordered a steak medium. There were 5 adults and one child. Every one got their food and their to go boxes before I even got my steak. The steak itself was good tho

The atmosphere was great, and everyone including the customers were very friendly. I got the salisbury steak special with mashed tarots and green beans, and it was delicious. It seemed like it only took a few minutes before my food was served. Definitely rate this place 5 star, and going to go back to try other things on the menu. One suggestion is maybe changing the sign to restrooms only for customers instead of no public restrooms. I totally understand why the sign is there though. Also I’m not sure if there is more parking available that I didn’t see. I had to park crossed the street at the car lot at least it looked like a car sale lot. Thank you, and I’ll be back with others. I’m definitely sharing the great time I had with others.

Not worth the waste of money and time. The sever we had only came by twice. He seemed to be busy in the back. We order a pub burger and a 16oz ribeye. The burger was overcooked, and was missing toppings. The ribeye was not medium rare, both sides of mashed potatoes was cold minus the hot gravy. Also the ribeye was cold like the rest of the food. Seems like their severs are too busy talking to each other to serve food. You know the service is bad when it's not busy, and a different sever has to check on you. We were seated and then another group was seated 5 mins after us, they got to look at the menu. They order food before our drinks showed up. Our sever was nowhere to be seen for 10min. I live out of town and the reviews are not what the place is. Fast food would of been better than this place.
I WISH GOOGLE WOULD LET YOU PUT ZERO STAR REVEIWS.

Johnson’s Corner Restaurant reminded me of a diner. Large menu of sandwiches and entrees. The onion rings were excellent and a must get. Also the days special was chili Mac which was also good. Prices are very reasonable.

After enjoying my second St. Paddy's day at Johnsons Corner, I figured it was time to write a review. I can't believe I haven't sang their praises earlier. Some folks would consider Johnsons Corner a dive bar, but I think it is a good old fashioned neighborhood bar with great food.

They are known for their delicious, Pork Tenderloin Sandwich which is one of my favorites. Another meal they are popular for is, St. Patrick Day Corned Beef. They are so popular on St Paddy's that folks are waiting outside their door before they open at 10AM. The corned beef is flavorful and is served with cabbage and boiled potatoes. Of course you gotta have a glass of Guinness. They have other craft beers if Guinness isn't your thing.

I also recommend them for, Catfish Strips and Crinkle Fries during Lent. A must order, is their Onion Rings. If you are dining with friends, order them as an appetizer, you'll be glad you did. Oh, they also do Stanley's Pizza which is amazing.

I've had multiple different servers and they have always been attentive and friendly. If you're lucky, you'll meet Jimmy the owner, he's a true character and he'll make you laugh.

Johnsons Corner is a classic old school kinda place. If I close my eyes I can still imagine everyone smoking & drinking like the ol days in there. Not much has changed & I like that about it. The food is good & so is the service.

Finally found a place with the perfect potato skins (potato boat on menu). The turkey horseshoe was delicious as well. Everything the family ordered was delicious and the service was exceptional.
