Default Honest John's Provisioners! Great place!

We had lunch at Honest John's in LSL the other day and it was GREAT!!! Friendly, smiling personnel, from the front desk to the service people, to management. Excellent service and very good food at reasonable prices. The atmosphere is just what you'd expect from a high-end eatery, only not pretentious. We thoroughly enjoyed it and will make it one of our regular destinations.

One of our favorites ! I love the bar. We have eaten there 5 times and everything has been good. I have to say they have one of the best filets I have ever eaten. So addicted to that popcorn !!

It's not on the menu Mac , they served it to you instead of bread. Your server should have brought it to you. It's freshly popped and drizzled with truffle oil....real nice touch. I ate at the bar and they served it to me.

It's supposed to be at the bar. Because they are new, they will take it to the tables sometimes.

We got the popcorn at our table right before the meal came.

It was good.

Do they have an online Menu? Is this a chain?

Nothing online but they do have a FaceBook page.
No this is not a chain. It is owned by Mike & Gina who own City Fire. They are really awesome people.

Thanks Bonny! Their Facebook page seems to be in development to a certain extent. I just got some gears when I tried to look up their web-site from the Facebook page.

We went last week. Nothing special, food OK service OK Menu very limited atmosphere not so great. It was so loud we could barely place our orders. Probably won't go back.

So if you are one of TV that stays up after 9:00 pm., hit Honest John's. Great bartenders, folks at the bar and great POPCORN. Wonderful place for a nightcap!

We ate at Honest John's last night. We were not served popcorn instead we had warm rolls and the best waitress ever, Katie. Katie was familiar with every item on the menu. She helped us with suggestions, she smiled and she was happy to serve us. We talked and laughed like friends. My husband enjoyed his margarita. A little $$ but the food was excellent. We will return to Honest John's. Janet
