Respectful service. Â Big portions. Solid chicken dishes. Â Dessert selection was weak. Â Liked the ambiance - downstairs seating is intimate (just outside the bar room). Real Irish themed bar, though it was St. Patty's day. Â If you're in the area, go here! Â If not, probably not worth a trip.
Review Source:First time back since reopening. Â Got a drink at the bar with a friend then sat at a bar table. Neither the bartender (one of the owners) nor the waitress who sat at the bar talking and eating, asked either of us if we wanted another drink, food, etc for 2 1/2 HOURS!!! There were only 8-10 people in the bar at the time and nobody in the restaurant! Â Isn't that what they are in the business to do? Â I have heard from others that the service is terrible and now I experienced it for myself. Â I will not be back EVER, which is a shame because I only live 3 miles away.
Review Source:While visiting my brother in Philly, he and his missus took me here, which is a Friday tradition between them and their neighbor buds. Â It's a very cheery place, which I later learned was built from an 18th century farmhouse. Â Maybe George Washington slept here and Ben Franklin scored here. Â The warmth and coziness was appreciated as it was during a heavy snowstorm.
Not particularly hungry (thanks Sonic foot-longs on Route 13), I opted for liquid refreshment. Â The Yuengling drafts were very flavorful (Yuengling is quickly becoming one of my favorite beers). Â I worked up some room and ordered the shrimp basket. Â The Eight plump fried shrimps were quite good, though the breading was a tad burnt. Â The side caesar salad was especially enjoyable and made me feel a bit better that I ate something healthy that day. Â The garlic bread croutons were plentiful and tasty. Â
The entrees looked good. Â One of the guys ordered a veal marsala dish which he said was great. Â I think my brother and his wife had a pasta dish.
Where I live, nothing like Johnny Apples exists. Â Maybe if I travelled to Williamsburg, VA, I might find something like it.
Awesome!!!! Â The only way to describe it! Â Chef Pat makes the most delicious one of everything he touches! Â Spinach artichoke dip is to die for! Â The pork chops are amazing always! Â Caesar salad with grilled shrimp-awesome! Â Helena and Mary at the bar, five star all the way. Can't say enough about the food, staff, atmospher, all top shelf!
Review Source:First visit back since this restaurant reopened, and we were so happy to find that everything is very much the same . The food was delicious, us all ha different entrees, one blackened salmon which got rave reviews, one chicken francaise florentine ,she loved it and I had chicken pot pie which I had many times before and it was great. We had tried to call this restaurant for a long time but their old phone number was on the new coupon, sonic you are wondering, lt is open and  it is great.
Review Source:I really was excited about visiting you, Johnny Apples, after passing by many times and reading your on line menu. I really wanted to love you, I came in with a very hungry belly and a heart filled with anticipation.
Our server was so sweet, as I twist my finger into my dimple. She was a petite, cutesy blond with sunglasses adorning her head. She was sugar & spice and everything nice, but dumber than a box of rocks! She could not answer one question, without running to the kitchen or manager.
There is no drink menu or tents, but they will make just about anything you have in mind. Their house Chardonnay is a California Barefoot, which I love and has won several Gold medals.
With four choices of where we could dine, be it the Pub, which also features it's own menu, as well as the dining room menu, a patio, a deck  or in one of the beautiful dining rooms, we opted for the latter.
We started off with their signature Crab Bisque which was a delectable bowl of some of the best bisque I have ever had and perfectly laced with sherry.
We each ordered own own half dozen of Clams Casino, which were loaded with bacon, green pepper, onions and tough diced clams. They would have been good, if the clams were tender. I had originally ordered Oysters Rockefeller, but they were out. My plate came out with a nice sized strand of dark hair. I was brave, removed it, did not complain and ate most of my clams.
Next we shared Seafood Spring Rolls, which were in house made and filled with shrimp, scallops, crab, bok choy, cabbage, carrots and seasonings. These were very good and served with a wasabi sauce and a teriyaki glaze.
Our meals came with your choice of soup or salad and a potato & veggie or pasta. The salads were nice and decorated with shaved carrots, which I love. The dressings are homemade, but they forgot to put the blue cheese in mine. Hubby had an incredible Dijon, honey dressing, not at all sweet. Once again, I had a hair on my plate, still not saying one word, I dove in.
Hubby had the large cut of Prime Rib, which would have been a small cut anywhere else. He ordered it rare to medium rare. It came out as a very fatty cut of ice cold medium well beef. He said the flavor was very good, but it was roasted yesterday and leftover to serve. Guys have a prime rib sandwich special when this happens, do not serve old overcooked cold meat to your guests.
I had inquired if they had Bearnaise sauce, before making my choice. When she returned from the kitchen to explain they did in fact have it, I ordered the Filet Mignon. This is funny now, I am laughing, when my Filet came out with a pitcher of a beautiful Bearnaise sauce on the side, the steak was swimming in a rich brown gravy. Hello, my medium rare to medium steak with Bearnaise sauce is medium well and swimming in brown gravy? Something is so wrong with this picture. I chose pasta and it was hard and dry.
We finally spoke up! They did take the entrees off the check, but they also lost two potential return guests. Hair is one thing, but you had better get my entree right!
Built in 1724, photos of the many era's, for this three story building are posted on the walls. The first photos depict horse drawn wagons, in front of a huge building with a covered porch. I like to believe it was a Saloon downstairs and a hotel filled with tired guests.
Once inside you picture a renovated mansion. The set up of the well dressed tables in the various dining rooms, which ultimately connect to one another, with the main dining room hosting a beautiful stone fireplace. The decor is grand with blown glass lamps hanging from the ceilings and matching lights adorning the green walls. The antique molding stands out, as well as the grand stairway leading to another floor.
The large outside patio has umbrella covered tables and fresh herbs growing in the large pots. The "Pub" is a very large and inviting room, with tables and a grand sized bar. Johnny Apples, also offers catering <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.johnnyapples.com%2Fjohnny_apples_menu_catering.htm&s=85951a08c3b73eed3abb32898b3959aba285548708cf6c6a59e745dbe602a5a8" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.johnnyapples.…</a>, Banquets and Brunch, lunch & dinner buffets. In addition to all of this, the lower floor features Holland Pizza, which they own and offers anything from pizza, pasta's & sandwiches to wings.
Do take note that the menu items on line for Johnny's is different from their new menu, prices have also been lowered.
Summing up this review, is my note to the proprietor's of Johnny Apples.
You have so much going for you with your location, a beautiful building, which features a pub, patio, deck and gorgeous dining rooms. Your menu selection is well diversified for Continental cuisine. Your food is too hit or miss. Bring in a good chef or train your cooks. Wear hair nets! You will sell more booze and make more money if you promote a selection of cocktails, beer and wine. Become more than the local watering hole.
Bottom line, you have a potential gold mine here, but for now, it is not panning out!
