Hot Johnnie's Smokehouse

Been there a few weeks ago for a quick lunch because I was in the area. I ordered the pastrami on marble rye bread with an apple coleslaw salad. The portion size was good for one person, and the sandwich was pretty stuffed. The flavors were great — the meat was juicy, and the salad wasn’t overly dressed. The only downside was the back patio; it had such a weird and cold atmosphere. Better to grab and go eat somewhere else.

The cashier didn't really understand what I was asking for... Google led me 20 miles based on Johnnie's Stock photos... I wanted a banger Pastrami sandwich and was disappointed!!! The center cut was marginal and the ends had nothing left!!! Sorry Johnnie's...

How this rated 4.7⭐️ I do not know. The back patio is quaint with big TVs mounted inside an enclosure, but you travel through what appears to be their wash sink area and pass a ping pong table to sit, which adds to the feeling of confusion. This place is more of a deli than a smokehouse. Had the French roll with waffle fries, Dutch crunch with onion rings, and a Romaine Caesar with apple coleslaw. The aioli had too much garlic, portions of side were small, and the salad had no Parmesan but was drenched with Mozzarella, and I would have preferred the coleslaw to have been in its own cup. You want to experience an authentic smokehouse, go to Colorado, Texas, Kansas City, Nashville TN, or North Carolina and taste what’s missing from here… smokey cooked goodness with a focused theme.
