    Our server Latoya was fantastic. She was very attentive, caring, kind and professional at all times. She stayed on top of all of her tables equally and also provided enough space to enjoy food and time. Very please, Johnny's is one of my favorite spots here in Des Moines.

    Amazing food as usual. Love Johnny's south - I would have given 5 stars but our cocktails didn't arrive until after our salads. Highly recommend.

    Service was incredibly slow even when there were not many customers there. Took over 10 minutes before someone showed up for a drink order. Ordered ribeye med rare, came out medium well and had zero seasoning. Mashed potatoes looked as if they had been sitting in the window for 30 minutes. Way over priced for what was received. Will not go back.

    The bone in Ribeye was full of flavor, done perfectly, and I could cut with a fork. The Brussel Sprouts were award winning good. At our table we also had the Chubby Cut Sirloin that was also done perfectly and delicious. The food here is top notch and the service is fantastic every time.
