Reviews describe Chez Johnny as a beloved classic spot known for poutine, club sandwiches, and other comfort foods, with a retro, welcoming atmosphere that many feel is an enduring city institution. The poutine is often highlighted for generous cheese and sauce, though a few notes mention extra sauce requests or fries that are greasy and a sauce that can taste watery. The club sandwich, cheeseburger, and pizza receive frequent praise for solid, satisfying flavors. Service is repeatedly described as fast, courteous, and friendly, and the dining room is noted as clean and inviting, even if seating can be a bit tight and the restrooms small. Some experiences mention small mix ups like an order not delivered or price differences between counter and wall menus. Overall, Chez Johnny comes across as a no frills, reliable favorite with nostalgia and steady quality that brings locals and visitors back.
Poutine extra sauce. Il allongent avec de l'eau. J'ai eu une soupe. Pas une poutine. J'ai commandé une liqueur que je n'ai jamais reçu. Bref pas une bonne expérience.

The place seemed clean I like the classic dinner vibe & the service was good, very friendly, the food though…. It was very bad, the gravy was fully tasteless & slimy to the point that it looked like brown slime. Cheeseburger was fine.
Dinner look rétro des années 50. Ststionnememt disponible, un peu à l'étroit. Manger au comptoir est toute une expérience. Excellent service. La poutine est pas le même prix au comptoir versus le prix affiché au mûr avec les formats. Légèrement moins cher au comptoir. Toilette un peu étroite, mais propre. Pour la poutine je dirais unr 7.2. Le fromage est généreux, frais, les patates très graisseuses & une sauce que je qualifierais d'une sauce à l'eau.
