I don't know Bonny, but I respect and trust her posts. IMO her critiques are based on the opinions of the group, as well as her opinion. It isn't don't go to the restaurant because the (fill in the blank) isn't like I want it because it's all about me.

There are many ways to cook. I'm going to say it: if the food isn't to your liking go to another restaurant.

If you get food poisoning, please tell us where

Thank you Bonny.

I went to Honest John's yesterday for lunch and found out that they don't open until 4 pm.

We all have different tastes. Of course no one makes it like mom. LOL
I once had a person tell me how awful one restaurant's meatloaf was. I was surprised because not only me, but so many people liked it. So I asked what was wrong with it.
This person said "it tasted awful ! I don't normally like meatloaf, but a friend told me it was good". Then they proceeded to tell everyone how awful it was. This coming from a person who didn't even like meatloaf !

Does Honest John's have a Happy Hour? What kinds of draft beer do they have and what are the prices for the draft beers?

Happy hour right now is 11:00 - 6:00 and 9:00 - 11:00. My guess is that will change and maybe go all day. I can hope. LOL
Don't know how much beer is, but it has a really nice bar !

So they open at 11am or 4pm?

Everybody has a different opinion of gourmet. I'm not sure I know what you mean when you say "upscale houty toutys" so I won't assure you of anything. Not my job.
I don't care about gourmet, I just want "good" food and "good" service and that was awesome.
They also have great steaks, rack of lamb and veal porterhouse chop.

Went to check it out tonight. Sat at the bar while waiting for a table. Nice large bar and you can eat at the bar if you like. We waited for a table to get away from the bar, a little noisy. Steak was great. Salad was great. Veggies were great. Service was great - my hats off to them for such great service at a newly opened restaurant. Met and spoke with Gina (one of the owners). There are open to suggestions (in fact hand you a sheet to make suggestions). They are working on the noise issue. Probably will modify the menu (although they have a nice variety already). I think this is a nice addition to our dining choices and would readily recommend it to my friends.

Went there tonight with my wife. We split the Chicken Vesuvio and a house salad. The main course was superb, the salad was excellent and the service was exemplary. (I'm smiling because my wife and I split a meal and it sounds, Bonnie like you can eat more than most people I know).

We will return!!

I order a lot and take it home for my next 3 meals LOL I love leftovers !

Went last night. Got the bratwurst served over cheesy potato slices with sauerkraut and bacon, like a hot cheesy german potato salad. So yummy !!
Happy hour is all day now ! Love the menu and they are looking to add a few things into it as the go along.
Nice packed house last night. Everyone having a good time.

First, don't get me wrong, I liked it enough to go back. HOWEVER, every Wednesday a group of golfers I golf with goes to lunch after our round. There is usually 0-12 of us (all men). We have not been disappointed at any of the country clubs and we eat at ALL of them and we GO BACK to ALL. Our experience at Honest Johns left us a little disappointed. The food was OKAY & an adequate portion but it was the most expensive we've seen in a while. The popcorn tasted like it was yesterdays and we were there at 2:30 pm. While at least 8 of us had a dish with "french fries" there was no ketchup or salt/pepper on the table. It was brought to us after we all had our food. Service was great and prices are not the servers problem. Fish n Chips was $14 w/o cole slaw. Burgers were $11. (that's why we don't go back to Square One). We all felt pretty much the same way and it will be a LONG time before this golf group tries it again. I'll take the wife there someday, probably before 'snowbirds'.

We heard so many good things about Honest John's we decided to try it yesterday for lunch. The Onion rings were outstanding, the service proved the staff had been well educated on how to treat the customer(s). My wifes Portabello sandwich was good. I ordered the fish and chips and the fish was chewy and actually not good at all. I had just a bite and stopped eating it. When the waitress brought the bill she asked what we thought and I told her the fish was not good and may have been quite old? the rest was good. She returned with the bill and had taken the fish off which was the right thing to do. This established they are a solid place to eat/dine. We would go back.
