Johnny’s Seafood Cafe

Great food, catfish was fresh and cooked perfectly. Not a high class restuarant, but well worth eating there

Interesting restaurant across the street from my office. They have a varietty of foods, nearly everything from lo mein to philly cheesesteaks to chicken wraps. Not sure I’d be inclined to order any of those though. Most of the entrees are between $ 6 and $ 10, with a few between $ 11 and $ 14.
I ordered the 3&3 fried shrimp and oyster combo with 2 sides for $ 8.99. You can choose from 8 different side orders. I chose onion rings and red beans and rice.
They initially brought out green beans instead of onion rings, so I was able to sample those also. They are sprinkled with what was like a cajun seasoning and just seemed a little too hard and older tasting, even though they were not canned green beans. Everything on the plate was good, but the standouts were the fresh oysters and the butterflied hand breaded shrimp. Both were a decent size and Cooked perfectly.
Many customers were ordering the burger, so I will have to try that next time. Even though the staff is predominantly hispanic, the majority of customers are white, on the day I visited. The young hispanic lady at the register, who doubles as a waitress, is pretty funny and makes jokes.

This was a very pleasant experience. The lady at the counter gave each of us a cup of chicken and sausage gumbo to try while we looked over the menu – not a sample but a full serving. We both ordered the 6-​fried shrimp dinner, which comes with two sides and a piece of garlic toast. I had fries and hush puppies, and my dining companion had fries and cole slaw. The platter was $ 8.49. The shrimp were large and hand-​breaded. (There were actually 7 on each of our plates.) The hush puppies tasted home-​made (and based on the various sizes of each, I am sure they were.) The fries were fairly standard though they were sprinkled with seasoning. They could have been crisper. My dining companion enjoyed his cole slaw as well. The woman who gave us the gumbo kept our drinks filled. The menu is a somewhat odd blend of seafood, Mexican food, Italian food, Chinese food, and hamburgers. With such an eclectic menu, diners should be able to find something to their liking. It is counter-​service, but the food is delivered to your table. When we first got there (too) loud Hispanic music was playing. Later, that was replaced with zydeco. The TV (with volume on) was tuned to the winter olympics. The restaurant serves Pepsi products via the soda fountain, but Coca Cola products were available in cans in a cooler.
