I will NEVER eat here and I am making sure none of my friends do either via facebook. My 19 yr old neice was stuck at the airport with no money (due to her bad planning and having to be rerouted due to weather). We called and spoke with the manager and they would not take a credit card over the phone, so that she might be able to eat after being at the airport ALL day! Horrible people. I can't believe there are people and establishments out there like this with absolutely NO humanitarian qualities whatsoever. Geez! We were trying to pay them for a meal!!!!

We ate at the Airport location in Orlando. I ordered a cheeseburger and was served something that clearly had been sitting under a heat lamp for at least an hour. Service was terrible. Bartenders were more focused on gossiping than servicing customers. Overall, very bad, will never eat there again.

Double charged me and promised to fix it, but still hasn't. People at the counter were rude and seemed unhappy to be there working. Horrible experience.

When Johnny's first opened, it was the best thing to happen to barbecue in Orlando. In the past year however, the menu has been streamlined and the choices are now limited to pretty standard barbecue items and the more exotic have been eliminated. The food is still better than good but the side dishes have lost some pizzazz. I highly recommend the regular ribs which are more tender than the baby backs, believe it or not. It's high class barbecue at high class prices but definitely worth going back to.

We tried it after seeing a coupon because it is out of our way. Excellent ribs, chicken and pulled pork followed by large tasty homemade desert. Popular priced. What is not to like?

Tabla bar’s food tastes like home cooked meal. The food is neither too spicy nor too salty. It is just perfect. My Wife appreciated my suggestion of celebrating our anniversary at Tabla Bar. Desserts were the best part.

I'm not a fan of the food because I do not enjoy salty food, however the atmosphere is relaxing and my young adults enjoy this place immensely.
