I really, really wanted to love Johnny Smalls as they have a great concept and great potential. The problem was they fell short on execution. Sevice was decent on a Saturday night but the food was just "ok".
The best things we tried were the fried green beans and the short rib. The bowl of beans was huge, the short rib, tiny. Everything else ranged from "ok" to "meh". The "meh" items were the tikka masala flatbread, the chili dogs and the sweet potato tots. "Ok" were the Mighty balls, the PB&J (note - I am not a PB&J fan to begin with), carne asada tacos (these were only luke warm - if they were hotter, they would have been alot better).
If they get their act together this place could be really fun but they just aren't quite there just yet.
