Default Honest John's

Heard a rumor that Honest John's opens tomorrow, May 25th. Can this be true?

Honest John's will have a soft opening to the public Thursday at 4 p.m. AMAZING food.. Awesome drinks and a great staff. Fresh food, made from scratch libations and an awesome staff.. What more could you ask for?

I am anxious to see what Honest John's will be like. They had better have excellent prices on their beers and bar foods in order to compete with Cody's and with RJ Gators. Both of those places offer great prices as well as having the views of Lake Sumter. Honest John's does not have much of a view.

I could use a traven if it smells like cigars and whiskey.

Was there anything really so unpleasant about Sandtrap's post that several of you had to jump in and pound him into the sand? The way I read it was "the other restaurants in Sumter Landing have great prices and views, so they have some competition before they open" .................

Sandtrap has been a valued contributor on this chat line for a long time, and responding to him in that manner is why so many of the really excellent posters have gone away. Cut him some slack and reread his post with an open mind and then have a good day!
