Since shortly after it opened, my family has been coming to Lobby's... err... Johnny's regularly.
The new owner, Johnny, told me he used to be Lobby's manager awhile back.
It makes sense.
The restaurant has great Italian Beef (Portillo who?) with hot giardiniera (and they don't skimp like the chains...).
On my most recent visit, I had a stroke of Genius and ordered some hot giardiniera on my cheese fries. DELICIOUS. I will not have them any other way.
My family comes here about once a week. If they are coming more frequently, they are not telling me about it. Of course, there was one week we went twice.
I love Johnny's and it is SUPER CLEAN, which is saying a lot for a burger joint.
May you have a successful future Johnny! If you decide to give me that recipe for your Italian Beef, we can be forever friends.
