| - Heeeere's Johnny's! With a menu that is virtually the same as Lobby's, Johnny's serves up the same high quality, superb Chicago style eats. I think the only differences in the menu are the additions of salads and the slightly different buns for the burgers.
We stepped in and ordered a mushroom burger, vanilla shake, fries, and Italian beef. The burger was a heavenly concoction of juicy, well seasoned beef, crisp lettuce, sliced tomato, red onion, with flavorful sauteed mushrooms. The sesame bun it was on was lightly toasted and provided some nice texture balance with the sesame seeds, slight crispness around the bun's edges, and the soft bun itself. The Italian beef is as good as ever, with the broth soaked bun, expertly flavored, thinly sliced beef, and added toppings (We added hot peppers and onions). Oh so good.
The shake was creamy, thick, and delicious, and the fries were crinkle cut and crispy. Service was excellent and we were greeted with a smile by the cook and Johnny, who was manning the front when we were here. He even came by during our meal to ask if everything was OK, and thanked us for coming when we left.
Here's hoping Johnny's is here to stay for a very long time!
