Here's Johnny!

When I really don't feel like eating campus food, I walk about 10 minutes through campus and across the street to a hidden gem called Johnny's Bar and Grille. When walking inside, it may seem like just another Applebee's, but in my opinion it's delicious.

The menu here doesn't disappoint. The most expensive options are only $18 for either a 16 ounce New York Sirloin or Yellow Fin Tuna. The rest are extremely affordable for people like myself who want to escape campus food for a night without having my wallet regret it.

For my friends and I, the highlight of Johnny's is their baked brie - which according to their website is "a delicate and flaky puff pastry filled with the finest brie and baked to perfection. Served with garlic crostinis and apples." Basically, if you like cheese even a little bit, you are almost guaranteed to like this.

The desserts at Johnny's can often be...unique to say the least, although usually I'm too full from dinner to actually have any. Recently a friend of mine ordered deep fried Oreos, which came with ice cream. I tried one, and to me it tasted like a mushy Oreo inside of fried chicken, but to each his own I guess? Other more normal desserts include a seasonal fall pumpkin cheesecake, or a brownie sundae. They vary each day, however.

There is also live music at Johnny's on Friday and Saturday nights, so it's definitely worth checking out!
