Something is up with the steamed Shrimp. Used to be good but now is very bland and tasteless. Unfortunately, I won’t be ordering what was once my favorite meal at Johnnys@

Dens was right steamed shrimp with garlic and butter is the way to go. Place was a bit thuggish but was an experience. Make sure to walk around and take pictures near the dead end blocks.

Get the fried whiting and clams
Purple LollipopMarch 19, 2011
The fried whiting with French fries are nasty. Whiting is too meaty it has to be flounder or something. This fries are soaked in oil. Not my thing. Too many kids
