Oysters have a funny way of disappearing around here… 🦪👀

Consider this your warning because Oyster Night is every Wednesday night at Johnny’s. We’re serving up Oyster Rockefeller, fried oysters, and fresh oysters from the raw bar.

Get here before the evidence disappears. 🕵️‍♂️🦪

🌭 One last wiener for the road…

Weiner Wednesdays are officially heading into hibernation after this week. Come say your goodbyes and get your fix while you can. Don’t worry, they’ll be back next summer.

But Wednesdays aren’t going anywhere. We’re trading dogs for oysters with new Wednesday oyster specials featuring:

🦪 Oysters Rockefeller
🦪 Fried oysters
🦪 Raw bar oysters

If you joined us for National Oyster Day, you already know what you’re in for. 😉

Come send off Weiner Wednesday with us this week, then get ready to make Wednesdays a little more shucking good.

Carne asada 🤝 tempura local asparagus. The Taco Tuesday combo we didn’t know we needed.

Finished with salsa roja, guacamole, fresh cilantro, red onion, and a squeeze of lime.

Come hungry. We’ll handle the rest.

A little behind the scenes of what’s hitting the plate at Johnny’s. 👀🍝

Our Grilled Local Yellowtail Cacio e Pepe starts with wild hamachi (not tuna!) and housemade cavatelli pasta, made right here in our kitchen.

Finished with local herbs, truffle pecorino, and Saskatchewan chanterelles, it’s fresh, savory, and worth every bit of the prep.

Come taste the finished product. 🤌
