There is nothing like this place. You won’t be able to get a road house experience anywhere else. Amazing food and milkshakes. Awesome vibe with rock n roll music playing, or the Kongos (the sons of the owner Johnny); very friendly and lively staff. Four different options to eat- in your car (proper roadhouse style); in the diner, in the beer garden or takeaways. I am a regular here, and it never disappoints.

Awesome varied menu, decent prices, great service by Simon, and the Johnny Street Footlong with Frankfurter was absolutely delicious and humongous. Would definitely go back. Great music, too.

Love this place to bits. I dont know who makes the mince here, but they definitely need a big salary!😂They make the best sloppy Joe ever. And for peanut butter lovers , Id suggest the Peanut butter chocolate milkshake, its absolutely divine. Service is also amazingThey dont sell milkshakes and ice cream when there is loadshedding.

Having been around for decades Johnnys Guitar is well known by our family. The car waiters are always helpful and friendly and quick service. There food is in the comparison to any competition. We love their dagwoods and and we all love there milkshakes. They were also our kids first roadhouse experience loads of fun and memories.

Waiter was a pleasure although the service from the kitchen was very slow. Had to wait more than 30 minutes for a simple order that usually takes other roadhouses less than 15 minutes to prepare and serve.

Love the 🎸, friendly staff, clean parking, and good food. Looking forward to trying to have a meal via sit in, the sitting area looks great with the vegetation. Johnny Guitar has that thing. That vibe its an experience that one has to have once in a lifetime

Went to food here complained that the meat was not ripe and they gave me another dish, guess what i am sitting at the clinic as we speak cos I vomited and had a runny tummy the whole night yesterday and the food I bought there is the only food I had for the whole day since i am pregnant. Never ever again!!!!!!!

Excellent service, great food if you enjoy greasy food which is typical roadhouse grub. Only down side is due to COVID they do not allow you to park and eat, it is order and go.

We like to use Johnny Guitar roadhouse. As they have a indoor dining section. So if it is one of the brothers / sister birthday we book here. This time around have how 2 waiters to help. Maybe it was me but the food was not that great. Everyone else was ok with the food.

Bigger better burgers ! Than other known roadhouses in the alberton area and the staff are super eager to serve. Go to try the XXL pizza next time ( note the other roadhouse only serves mini pizza about the size of a side plate for R 100 )

Very disappointed. Went there on the 24th for milkshakes. Waiter appeared to be on a go-slow. Waited 15 minutes for our take-away. In the meantime a car next to us who arrived after us, received their order and were gone 5 minutes before our order arrived. Sorry guys but until you grasp the concept of customer care, even for take-aways, I am not returning

Review №62

The food is great the service is KAK! Ive just been shouted at and given the stickies attitude by their waiter VUSI outside after he gave my order away. I placed my order and left to drop off a colleague at Hyundai just up the road. I came back within 5 minutes and parked at the same spot. After almost an hour and having wasted my whole lunch break I asked why was my order taking so long. He said he gave it away because I didnt come back. What pisses me off worse is the stinking attitude and I came back within 5 minutes. And he looked drunk or high on something.

Love the old school roadhouse vibe. The food is excellent and the service very friendly. I wish we had something like this in Cape Town. Probably the only reason to visit Alberton.

The waiter needs to be taught manners. Firstly he brought half of the meal.Secondly we had no utensels and we had to ask for them. He forever said he will check me I take acception to his figure of speech. After giving him a tip he never said thank you or good bye. He never at any stage enquired about the meal.
