12/23/09 Salado, TX. Right off southbound I-35, Johnny's is a great traditional BBQ joint. Solid A. Brisket had a good smokey taste to it. Not too moist. Sausage was average, not sure where it came from, but not really worth commenting on. If you like your potato salad of the super mustard infused variety, you'll love Johnny's. Beans were good too, really dark and earthy tasting, but the bread (yes, the bread) was the shining star of all. Tasted like it was fresh baked, on-site. The sweet tea was good too, and is dispensed through large Coleman coolers like you'd see on the golf course or at a football game being used to congratulate a formerly dry, yet winning coach...
The ambiance at Johnny's was exactly what a BBQ joint should be, simple and unrefined, with metal Lone Stars of Texas and bumber stickers on the walls. Even the parking lot smelled like smoked brisket, which is a major plus in my book!
