Tune up that old piano, deal the cards, and raise a glass to Johnnie.
Johnnie’s Jazz Bar & Grille is dedicated to Johnnie Genevieve (Miller) Bills, a piano player for the silent movies at the very first B&B Theatres in 1924. Johnnie’s original piano has been restored and is sitting on our stage.

    What a great place to meet with friends. To be able to interact with the entertainer, listen to some songs that you don’t hear often anymore and yet still visit while eating and drinking.

    Great overall experience! Lovely atmosphere with top notch Jazz band and a very talented vocalist! The atmosphere and decor well done with style. Now the food and service….ribs and all the trimmings were very scrumptious! Also, we were very glad we ordered the warm, crisp, buttery pretzels as an appetizer! Our server was on top of attending to us! Five Star dining experience! Will be back soon!

    We love coming here Unfortunately the food was subpar last night The wings were slightly over done and one order didn’t have the sauce on it like previous orders the other order was way spicier than normal… the fries were not the nice crispy ones with soft centers Not sure if they had a new cook We will definitely be going back Hopefully they will get the cook sorted out

    If you’re looking for a music scene with the availability of food and drinks, this is a great option. Love the Northland location! Onion rings were perfectly hot and crispy. That brownie sundae was so good! Service was wonderful - attentive but not disruptive. The music was really loud so if you’re wanting to have conversation, this might not be the place. The band did take a break about every 30 minutes so it wasn’t just nonstop loud. The music selection when I went was really good. Singer was amazing and musicians were on pointe. Really enjoyable evening with no downtown drive or parking hassle.

    Last night we had to wait about 40 minutes for a waiter to come to our table. It was very busy, but we were literally the only table that had not been waited on. This is not the first time this has happened. We have been there on many trivia and bingo nights when we've had to wait a long time, when everyone around us has been helped. Also, it would be great and probably more fun if the person running the music bingo nights had knowledge of the songs and artists.

    You can’t beat Tacos Tuesday! Tacos were delicious and at $2 each more than reasonably priced. My friends and I had an enjoyable evening playing Bingo and the waiter Seth went along with our kidding and joking. It was a very good experience.

    We made a reservation for trivia night. We knew it would be busy and we wanted a good table. When we arrived (on time) the only tall table left was basically not in the bar but right next to the movie theater concession stand. We couldn't hear or see the announcers. We asked to move to a low table that was closer but still not able to view. Since we made reservations we felt we should have had priority over those that were walk-ins and not an after thought. The trivia was way fun, though we'll get there earlier without a reservation since it seemed useless.

    We’ve been to Johnnies many times before and really enjoyed the meal, but this night was different.. they were short staffed so that explains some of it. B& B executives were on the other side of the patio and they took precedent. The food was cold when it came out.. Hoping it will be better than next time!

    I ordered the shrimp Cajun pasta and ask if I could substitute the chicken for the shrimp and I had to pay a two dollar up charge. Last time I checked shrimp was more expensive than chicken so I’m not really for sure why I had to pay.
