I'm not from the area, so my fiance and I were a little worried just walking into a random place for a tasty, affordable dinner.
Most reviews for this place recommend the burger - so that's what we got and it was awesome!
First off, the staff was very polite and served us our beers very quickly. Â The decor is really cute and we were comfortable after a long day at the beach. Â My fiance was really impressed that they were serving a hard-to-find Samuel Smith's beer in the bottle - not that I know much about that.
I got a regular burger, he got the cheese burger and we split an order of bacon to share on them. Â We also got waffle fries with the burgers. Â
They were cooked to perfection, just a little pink inside - which is how we like it. Â The burgers were also enormous!! Â He usually inhales his burgers, barely having time to chew but I actually saw him struggling through this thing. Â We even laughed about it since few burgers ever come close to conquering him. Â Impressive.
The fries were also awesome. Â We were both really happy with our $10 burger dinners and recommend this place if you're looking to satisfy a burger itch.
If you're looking for a good Pub in Long Beach this is the only one. Â It's true. Â This place doesn't turn into one of those "hangouts" filled with douche bags at night. Â It is a neighborhood Pub and thank goodness we found this place. Â
The service here is outstanding.
My friend and I came here for some appetizers and a few beers and the apps were good and the service was fantastic. Â Our server was very attentive and even noticed that I didn't like my beer and switched it out for me right away and got me another one!
They also had a Chicken Jagger Schnitzel on special that I wish I had tried. Â I saw a few people that ordered it and it looked great!!!
My friend Jo and I can't wait to go back and bring our dad's because we're pretty sure they'd like this place too!
Can't wait to return! Â Thanks, John Henry's!
In Long Beach, you essentially have two kinds of places:
1. old man bars
2. bars that SEEM okay in the daylight, and then get taken over by THOSE people. Â You know who I'm talking about.
Somehow this place slipped through the cracks. Â Its wonnnnnnnnnnnnnderful here. Â Pub vibe in the front, with a small bar and a few booths, and a dining room with additional booths/tables in the back. Â The decor is simple and welcoming, and the people that work here are fantastic and friendly.
Regular beers on tap, varied enough bottled beer list. Â The waitress was very attentive, and was quick to refill our beers, take our orders. Â We got a few appetizers to nosh on - typical bar food. Â Some friends came and met up with us and ordered a few more things to eat - everyone essentially ate everything on their plate. Â I do need to come back and have dinner or lunch here - they have a decent enough selection of sandwiches, platters, burgers, etc. Â And some german food.
I love german food. Â I SHOULD have gotten the Jager Schnitzel but I was distracted by jalapeno poppers and not hungry enough for a full meal.
we were literally here for hours, talking, catching up, watching the Olympics...making friends with the husband and wife duo that own and operate the place. Â We'll be regulars here, for sure. Â I think we finally found our local bar.
If you are looking for american pub food this is the place to go. Â Portions are enormous. Â There delivery is very quick. Â The food is consistently good. Â Service has always been great. Â
I know people who have worked there and they have nothing but nice things to say about those who run the restaurant.
I order from John Henry's fairly often and the food/service is generally good. BUT tonight I placed an order for delivery and was told it would be 30 minutes. When I called almost an hour later to see where my food was, I was told it would be another ten minutes. I specifically asked of the food had been sitting there for an hour and was told it was just coming out of the oven. Another twenty minutes later my food came - cold and soggy. I called to let them know and nobody particularly cared. I will never eat there again.
Review Source:The place never disappoints, they dont have a Cook they have a chef. Â Fish is always fresh and cooked properly and Specials are great, Killer Burger. Â Service is fantastic as well both wait staff and Buss. Â We live a few towns over but its worth the trip because they do it all right. Â Also what is nice there is always an owner there and they always greet you and wish you a good night, Class.
Review Source:I often complain that Long Beach has more pubs than houses, but the truth is, pub/bar food is good food, and no one in this town is doing it better than John Henry's - I'd say not even close.
I've been frequenting this pub for somewhere around the last ten years - it's hard to think of many places I can say that about. The atmosphere is ideal, with a dim-lit, calm, rustic setting, providing intimacy, if desired, or the perfect place to dine with a group. Â Wear a suit or a pair of shorts, and neither matters. The same great, friendly staff has been serving us since the first day I've been there. Everything on the menu is great, and the selection is diverse enough to satisfy any one. There's just nothing to complain about here.
I recently attended a party here and the spread was awesome. Lots of places make calamari but John Henry's is so lightly battered and crispy and perfect. The wait staff was fantastic, pleasant and attentive and clearly love their jobs. Tip that great waitress with the fabulous earrings! Â She's awesome. The drinks were perfect and I can't wait to go back. Â A great place to refill after a beach run. Two thumbs up.
Review Source:Went after the beach on a 90 degree day and was disappointed that they had no AC. Sweated through great service, great beer, great stuffed clams, great fish and chips, and the worst steak salad I've ever tasted. So weird that one thing was so pathetically executed. Cold steak (and I mean out of the fridge?!) that wasnt even seasoned, on a wilted salad. After one bite didn't touch it. Server never asked how anything was, so after the bus boy took it I decided to let it go cuz she was so nice and I was full anyway. Shame, could have been a great lunch. Stay away from the salads I guess. The seafood was GREAT.
Review Source:Fairly decent pub grub served in a cozy warm atmosphere. The bar area is a rather small space and tends to get crowded with the regulars, the restaurant portion gets filled as well on a busy weekend. The service is usually fine and friendly, never really any glitches there.
Overall a good spot to get a burger, watch a game or two. Decent food, fair prices nice place that's very easy to get to and there's parking in the center island on park ave.
This is a great little pub. Â You walk in, there is a decent sized bar on the left and some booths on the right. Â I met some friends here for dinner last week and felt really comfortable in the atmosphere. Â In addition, just past the bar / booths, they had a full dining area with a bunch more tables and booths and beyond that was the kitchen.
The wait staff and bartender seemed very accomodating. Â We ordered appetizers, some burgers and dessert and a handful of drinks. Â If I had not been so tired, I would have loved to of stayed around longer. Â The food was certainly fresh, the burgers are wonderful. Â We ordered a few orders of the calamari -- it was that good -- along with an order of the buffalo wings (although not quite as good as I have had, the wings weren't bad). Â We ended the night with coffee and dessert which was equally as good as the meal itself.
It is definitely a neighborhood type of place, everyone seems to know each other as they walked through the door. Â Oh, and the music was good, classic rock and they had the ball game on the screens above the bar.
