Johnny’s Cafe

First time going and the service, food and drinks were great. We were looking for a small place nearby for some finger foods and drinks and this was perfect! I had pirogies, cheesecake and sangria. Strongly recommend the pirogies!

Took my mom out for her bday on a Sunday afternoon. We eat at very similar places all the time, but this was the worst experience we have all had when it comes to restaurants. The place is divided into two parts with very think wooden walls that do not go all the way up to the ceiling. There was a party with a dj and an extremely loud music happening in one part of the restaurant. The second part (closer to the bar) was open to walk in clients. There were only three waitresses working the entire place including the huge party. We waited an hour and a half for our food, which came out either cold, undercooked or tasted horrible. The waitresses are overwhelmed with the amount of clients they have so they are simply unable to do a good job with all the orders. They made tons of mistakes with our order but when we asked to get what we ordered they seemed annoyed. We will never return to this horrible place, and will spread the word about the experience we had. In the future if you know you’re gonna have a large party, hire more staff? That would be a logical thing to do. I really do not think that you are equipped to handle large parties and still remain open for walk in customers. You have to pick because otherwise you seem just greedy (get the most ppl in to make the most buck, who cares if they eat cold, frozen food?). Shame on this place, since there are so many other delicious polish restaurants around.

so disappointed. went there a few months ago for lunch and waited nearly two hours for food. there weren’t many people there from the beginning and when they did come they got there food moments after they ordered. the food was cold when we got it. many polish restaurants in nyc to choose from, this isn’t one that should went to.

great polish food in Maspeth

Place looks nice and clean, but when we ordered an appetizer, it was so cold — almost frozen and desert (tiramisu) was frozen all the way. Drinks ok, but when we ordered regular Margarita, we got FROZEN Margarita instead. And it is January!!! This is not the right place to go to warm up…

Great authentic Polish food and many other dishes. I personally love the steak here. The food is very well priced for around $ 20 you can get bread and this awesome polish spread, salad, choice of potato, and a large rib eye steak. The wait staff is friendly and nice and they have good polish beer on tap. A great neighborhood joint for a casual dinner with family or friends.

Never again — we went there to watch a soccer match, place was unorganized waitresses weren’t able to determine who ordered what, had to wait half hour for a round of beer while people next us waited a moment. Most importantly my food tasted like sh*t, felt like they spilled a whole container of salt on just my meal. There are lots of better polish restaurants out there, this one should be avoided.
