Johnny Brusco's

Located in the new community of Norton Commons. This place has a great atmosphere with multiple flat screens to catch a game.  The wings are great, big and meaty.  Try the Carolina Gold sauce. It's a honey mustard based sauce and is very very good. The pizza is New York style and is pretty good, although I've had better. They deliver within 5 miles of Norton Commons. That is huge!!! We will be eating Johnny Bruscos a lot. 4 stars overall for location, convenience, food and service.

"You can have a seat where-ever you like!"  I love options :-) This was my greeting upon entering Johnny Brusco's.

I have visited Johnny's a total of three times so far- and every time- it has been delicious.  Plus 3 stars for consistency.  You need not look far to talk to someone in charge if you need something you don't see, because your server is also your proud local owner, and she is here to fill up your belly with deliciousness and your drink whenever you get to draining it (even if it's water).  It is of UTMOST importance to we water drinkers that they are full most of the time- even though you aren't making money on it.  Filling up that water cup shows you care :-)  Thanks for keeping me hydrated, I think I'll partake in another brew as a result.  Generosity breeds itself I suppose?

They were EXTREMELY busy when I came in and I managed to post-up perfectly in a corner booth complete with outlet for access to their FREE WiFii- thanks Johnny's!  I didn't see the Wifii advertised, but I took a chance and was rewarded.

I ordered the Buffalo Sub and received a pickle and fries for $7.99 (included in the Friday lunch special- see menu for DAILY specials- I love daily things because I get bored with the same old same old) with extra sauce on the side and a side of 312 ($4 for 16 oz).  Even more delicious when I saw my receipt!  I order buffalo-style anything and it was good.  I also had a tasty side of ranch to accompany and some extra sauce- it was good.  The sauce had an extra italian-ish spice to it if there is such a thing, but that was appropriate for a restaurant serving mostly basil and parsley based dishes + subs of course.

Street parking -but there isn't any competition for it.  Norton Commons is well designed in that you don't have to go too far for much.

I learned that they will soon be working with more local owners to start up a dessert menu and a LOCAL wine menu with other businesses (Copper Cupcakes (the best mind blowing cupcakes that are perfect for everyday anything celebrations and the big stuff too!) and the local wine shop) in Norton Commons- just think, you can get a pizza and then an amazing pastry, all in one place.  Yes!  And there is collaboration to boot.  It's like one big local ball of awesome.

I was able to sample their new rotating tap (Matilda by Goose Island) served in a wine glass.  It was suggested that I try it since I ordered a 312 Urban Wheat (both served in the PROPER glasses mind you- I can't even begin to tell you how OCD I can get about that at other places!) and learned that they have a rotating tap every 2 weeks.  Not too bad.

I was eating alone (No sad faces!  I was getting 'work' done)- and received tons of interaction.  It was a nice lunch.

I received excellent service at Johnny's and I will be back.

Five stars- well earned.  I'm looking forward to their Valentine's Day pizza's, yea, I found out they would be heart-shaped.  How can you not heart that?
