Johnny Boy Carryout: Reviews & Ratings
I drive 45 minutes just to come get ribs! The mix of hot and mild sauce makes the flavor inside the ribs pop even more! The atmosphere is cool just not a dine in spot . I recommend this place to visitors and ppl from around the way!
Delicious!! Can I say that one more time...DELICIOUS!!! This was my first but not my last time here. Got a little bit of everything since I didn’t know what to get. The prices are reasonable (affordable). The minced bbq with spicy sauce and coleslaw on the side is the way to go. Get some of those ribs. Mmmmmm. I promise you you won’t be disappointed. Then end it off with some wings. I swear I think they just took them out the grease (in other words they were fresh and hot). This place is a must do. Come. Eat. Enjoy.
One of the best places to get ribs. Never had a bad experience. Get the sauce on the side... Only accepts cash
One of the best go too and the DMV for ribs cooked in a smoker electric. Nice flavor best in the market. Can’t tell me nothing about them check out my (last) pick (those my ribs) Ask me about the reviews in Dmv Al the Barber
Visited from Louisiana ordered ribs potatoe salad and greens I loved it all and they say the new cook name was Trey I think well he did a great job can't lie and the man at the register
I drove from Columbia, MD just to those ribs. They're simply the best
best ribs in the city, my favorite sauce
I’ve had Johnny boys ribs 1000 times. However what keeps me coming back is the excellent service that I receive from the cashier named John. He is very attentive and caring to my needs when I come in the store. He always knows what I want and the other guy cooking seasons ribs sooo good the one that has locs. Also, the cashier he always smiles, always is in a good mood and is very welcoming. And yes the food is good but customer service goes a really long way! Give them men a raise.
