REVIEWS OF Johnny Carino's IN Texas

Robby McBee

Service was excellent and the food was so delicious! Our waiter Isaac Caballero was the best and so attentive! Thank you! Will definitely be back!!!!

Becky Grist

It was much improved since the last visit. It had gone very downhill w poor service and food quality. But it seems to be on an up swing. Pleasantly surprised! Good place for happy hour!

Pedro Gonzalez

Did not enjoy my food. My food was cold had to wait for extra sauce to warm my pasta and even then the sauce was just warm not hot how I asked it for. My mom asked for a second alcoholic drink and never received it. When we asked for bread the second time it had a hair inside it. Manager never arrived to the table. When we received the cheesecake it tasted like it was put in and out of the fridge several times all day. The strawberry on top wasn't even red. It also smelled really weird where we were seated. If I could give it no stars I would. I was really unsatisfied with my food and I was trying to impress my gf with the dinner.

Amy Beale

Valeria was a great server. Food was great! Ty. Always great to see our favorite people. :)

Jennifer Garcia

Needless to say who knows what we're served because everytime we order the tri-tip it's serve differently and we're wrong. This is very confusing, considering we always point at the picture because of this reason. The servers are always nice however, it's always one thing or another. The drinks never come out with reasonable timing nor the food. Today for example we offered wings, tavern calamari, and the tri-tip and it all came at random times. The server said they were backed up in the kitchen, that's understandable. When the ladies next to you arrive later and get their salads and pastas first is again confusing. The wings came first, about almost an hour the tavern calamari, and 15 minutes later the tri-tip. We have given this place so many chances and never complain. It is very sad because it has so much potential then again it never fails that it disappoints.

Joshua Ryan Crowe

Well I hear other valley locations closed permanently. I give this place 3 to 6 months to live. I wouldn't dine & wine here since their air conditioner has given up the ghost. Peace.

Emma Porter

A favorite spot for italian food. I can say this place does it for me. The service was very friendly and attentive. Like a restaurant in Washington I liked.

Jessica Ramirez

I am a little disappointed with tonights visit. I love Johnny C's . After a stressful week for my kids (age 16 and 12) testing a birthday and long hours at work. I treated us to our favorite place. The order forgot my Calamari , gave one order with almost no alfredo sauce on it and even skimped out on the spheghetti and meatballs. My penne was average and not to the normal standard that it normally is. I love this place but tonight I was very disappointed.

Ryan Russell

This area has a void of cuisine options, but let's not use that as an excuse to do things poorly. We ordered the Sunday special (lobster, potatoes, and all you can eat parmesan shrimp; the Johnny's special pizza (basically a supreme) and a kids meal. The lobster was very over-done, to the point of being able to mistake it for calamari by texture, but the shrimp were not bad. The kids meal was bland, but that's to be expected. The pizza was overly-salty, but somehow lacked in flavor. The tomatoes on top were lazily cut, as in VERY thick... salad thick, and not able to cook in a pizza properly. I really wanted to like this place. It was almost empty, but still had pretty slow service. That's not the worst of it though. I think taking time at a restaurant is a nice thing when the company is good. And if the company isn't good, don't bother eating together. The salty, acidic food that lacked any real appeal is really what disappoints.

Amanda Longoria

Benny was a great server! Even though it was Monday and crazy, his service was great and precise! Thanks for a great mom and son night out!

Jean Quinn

Italian food... delicious. Service is consistently above par. The bill was well within reason for the quality.

Gaby Maldonado

Service has declined greatly. Even when very few tables are taken, service is very slow. Personnel isn’t quick to clean tables. A few times we have had to clean our table. Last time we waited 20 min to order our drinks and it wasn’t even a busy night. Sad to see this restaurant decline so badly. It used to be our fav. I hosted here many family celebrations. Hope management really does a turn around.

Rebecca Zavaleta

I love the calamari and boneless wings! Great staff, very friendly

Ruben Donnie Gualtieri

Dont recommended it. Food was burned and greasy. And over prices... not good. And the worst part the tab beer was flat .nothing Italian about it

Mona Vargas

Food was excellent! Service was great! Will be back for sure.

Dustin Hernandez

Had dinner with friends and had a great dining experience today. Menu is perfect, something for everyone. Service was awesome and Rafael was very accommodating. Will be back definitely!

Arturo Sandoval Jr

Great service .... Wow ... Our waiter Benny Villarreal give us the best service ever.

Christian Maciel

Service is always good love the bread and lasagna

miguel salazar

Don't be cheap with your oil JC. If a customer wants more oil give them more oil.

Jesse Garza

Service was bad good was mediocre and price was high. Such a joke eat in the patio/bar area half price appetizers. I guess cause bartender had to service that whole area so service was slow. Might as well sat in the dinning area. Good does not taste at all like it used too.

donnie7777

First time here and what really upset me is it was my first time seeing the menu so I ordered the 16 layer lasagna which was about a 5x5x5 piece which I thought was 9.99, seemed like a great price until I got the receipt and saw it was $15.99

Coral Mireles

Arely Lerma is one of the waitresses here at the tavern and I want to take the chance to complement her. You can tell she works very hard and is always smiling. She is really good at what she does and make sures her customers has everything they need in there table. This is why I’m rating a 5 star. Really recommend this place

Teresa Quinones

Food was good, service was good, kitchen took too long to get food out especially since it wasn't packed.

MIKE SALINAS

First time eating at Johnny Carinos, great food and excellent service by Miss Valeria! Will definitely come back.

Juan Gomez

Great service by Valeria. Really did her best to make sure all our needs were met.

Cristian Narvaez

My pasta took a long periodically time. Food was great though. :P

Allen Ortiz

We went last night and the service wasn’t very good. We were informed that the system was down so that I understand but the service needs to be improved. Some of our order wasn't even brought to the table. The one saving grace was that the manager (gentleman working yesterday in the red coat) was very understanding, apologetic and helpful and that I do appreciate. Hopefully they improve because I do actually like their pasta.

Latasha Lindsey

italian food and the setting here is great. Got there near five, it wasn't very busy. Definitely worth a return visit. Prices are appropriate. Wish it was closer to my house, I would come every week.

The Science Toolsmith

The fresh bread and the saucer of olive oil and minced garlic are a great start to the meal. We got a small order of calamari and some mushrooms before a great Cesar salad. My kiddo got the fish and chips, while I got the spicy shrimp and chicken. My favorite dish. It all turned out great. Compliments to the chef. I have only been disappointed once, but still give it 5 stars because of the rest of my experiences were awesome.

Merlin Bicking

A new menu means more traditional bar food and better happy hour specials. Less "Italian " options. Service was a little slow. Seems more like an Italian themed Chili's now.

Sam Martinez

The bartender was servicing the bar area since it was during lunch and still provided excellent service. I ordered stuffed mushrooms as an app and shrimp with angel hair. The atmosphere was nice with a variety of music.

joe castillo

Actually my first time there. Went with friends. Food was delicious and we all took leftovers. Well served plates. Bar had good drink's.

Xiomara Perez

The food are so good, the people super. I'm enjoyed everything. And I'm come back again.

Jeniffer Alvarez

As always our waiter is amazing. Not overbearing but pays enough attention to know when we needs refills which is something I love. Food is definitely worth it. My friend and I ate here with about $35 and we were ready to explode. Ha.

Viola Silva

It was great, and service was great

michelle torres

Service was slow, the server was nice but seemed overwhelmed. Refills took a while to come back and my chicken was still pink. Our server did not check on us , we had to flag her down the majority of the time and none of the other servers could be bothered to see if we needed some help. Everyone walked by without even a side glance. I thought we were in luck because there weren't a lot of ppl specially on Mother's Day weekend but now I know it may have been related to the service. Very disappointing experience.

Josie Esparza

Love this place. The food and drinks are awesome! Definitely coming back..

Nicole Castle

The Italian nachos are awesome! Great Service! My family and I ate earlier today it was all good! Our server Arely got our food out quick. We got a free cheesecake too! We are going back next Monday for sure!

Neyva Garcia

Great food! Valeria was our waiter and was super attentive

Christina Benavidesz

Really like all the specials here! my server Addie did a good job

Ricky Alvarado

Arely was very friendly and genuinely cared and made us feel like family! Great customer service. Highly recommend going and asking for Arely! Food was delicious, hot and fresh, and she would make sure we had all we needed to enjoy our dinner.

Jennifer Salazar

Best service! Ive never had the best service and had the best server named Valeria! Definitely coming back!

Flip ByanyMeans

Rudy Rodriguez

Great menu, over 50 draft beers, and affordable prices.

Susie Recio

Valeias service was great always looking to see if we needed anything, food was great except for the salad...thank you.

Carol Olvera

Understaffed for the night, plates were dirty or brought to us wet...drinks did not have enough ice. Our waiter was good and friendly but they need more help.

Sagrario Rivera

Great family friendly place! Our favorite server is Arely! Thanks for always providing a great experience!

KendolinkPS3

Valeria gave us great service, she was very attentive and always made sure we had whatever we needed. Everything came out fast and delicious. Overall great experience.

Lys Caruso

Went last night and the food wasn't bad. As Italian, this was somehow good? Better than in other American restaurants, I won't deny it. The service was great and our waiter did an awesome job, the problem here is... Well, the Women's restroom. It was in the worst conditions I've ever seen in a restaurant, not even High School restrooms look like that and it was pretty disappointing. I couldn't even enjoy my food properly after going to the restroom, it was a... Traumatic experience, should I say? I had nightmares last night.

Marsha maciel

Great food and atmosphere. Service was excellent.

Amandi Cuevas

First and last visit. I ordered a strawberry margarita (they didn’t have strawberry), I ordered a tapas beer that they didn’t have at the moment, for one of my kids ordered nuggets with fries, but they were out of nuggets and the Italian nachos were over cooked, my husband lasagna sauce tasted like canned for years sauce. Service slow. And let’s not talk about the women restroom. Nope... not liked at all!!!

Martha Ontiveros

Love it! Wish they reopened the ones on the west side of the valley again!

Jeseri Montalvo

The atmosphere is so welcoming. Service is great and down-to-earth. Really enjoyed my visit

Viridiana Aviles

Delicious and great service.

Juan Romero

Great pizza!!!!! Loved it. Isaac P recommended Johnny's favorite pizza. Excellent service

Scanda Mejia

Came to the restaurant , with a party of 7. We sat near the bar and was waited by a nice gentleman. Nothing personal but service was horrible. Constantly having to look through the restaurant for our waiter. A beer would take 20 minutes when we’re seated literally right next to the bar. My wing order were so dry they were appetizing. I ordered bbq seasoning and I got I have no idea. My beer mug smelled. The beer tasted horrible and they served me the same beer twice and still was nasty. Even mentioned that someone else had mentioned about the funky taste. Hadn’t been here in a while and was definitely reminded why. Only good thing was the free st pattys pizza

Jennie Ingle

I remember 8 years ago this place was amazing. As of today the service was bot great. I ask waitress about the menu and she shrugged because she didn't know the menu. I asked another waiter he was new and didn't know either. The spicy Romano chicken was not spicy so asked manager I think and he went to add a spice then brought it back flooded in sauce. We expressed our disappointment politely and he offered dessert for free. I declined and well still got stuck with a 40 dollar bill. Not worth it at all. Maybe I will try it a year from now and they may have it together.

ofelia lopez

Absolutely LOVE the NY cheesecakes! Went there last night and Isaac took great care of us. See you soon!

Martha Garcia

Great food and awesome service. Benny was wonderful, very attentive and quick! Great place! Will definitely come back.

CP Lopez

Service was awesome. Valeria was a great host and didn’t hesitate to help us with your request. Great job Valeria!

A Fern

My enthusiasm for trying out this place was somewhat diminished when I waited for a few minutes at the front desk. No one was there to seat me. My waiter was very nice. The lighting is dim and I don't mind it too much but it might be annoying for some people. I did appreciate the real pizza oven that I could watch while I waited for my food to come. I was entertained by the flames lol. I really liked my Caesar salad and lasagna. I wouldn't order the spicy romano chicken pasta again, sorry.

David Martinez

Great time happy hour, everyhour

Smiley Lozano

Its ok same cookie cutter recipes

Alexia Garcia

Victoria is the friendliest hostess. She’s the best view walking through the carinos doors! Best thing about carinos is victoria, besides the shrimp scampi. I love Victoria and shrimp scampi ❤️

Nik Bhakta

Service very bad and then .... Had ordered skilletini with no meat added some veggies. They charge for that plate 16.99+ added 2.99 for extra veggies. $20 plate with they meshed up never said put mushrooms and they added them...I am have allergies....no problem they re make it. No apply or anything offered for thief mistake. I used to love this place had similar experience 6-7 months ago so stop going there. Wanted to give it another try and its worse now.

L A F

We were seated (group of 6) and for 15 minutes waiters went back and forth nobody approached our table or took an order. This is a shame as it has happened before. Dont come!

Letty Benavidez

Testing Testing... guest claiming that website is not working

Vanessa Alvarado

ARELY LERMA IS THE BEST SERVER THERE!!!! She was always fast and consistent with refills. She would check up on my friends and I to make sure we were all satisfied. Her smile and personality is amazing. She truly delivered great customer service. I 100% recommend her.

Shu Yin Wolf

Valeria was a great server and made it an excellent experience for My Brother and I. Will definitely return again. She was very attentive and quick.

Russ Fortson

My family and I went to Carino’s in Brownsville and the food was great. We make sure to visit every time we are in town. It beats Olive Garden. The service is always amazing. Brandon was so attentive.

jose angel rangel

Awesome food, fast service our waitress Beny was on top of the game

The GARCIA FAM

The food is good and customer service as well.

Kirt M

We were seated for close to 10 minutes before waitstaff came to our table. It was far from busy, only 3 other tables. We then received our drinks and plates for bread. The plates were wet and disgustingly Dirty. Totally gross. I called over the manager and she didn't seem to care much and said "Oh that happens, the plates get stacked in the dishwasher together". Dirty plates used to serve food "happens" lol. Wow, just wow. On top of all that the place didn't smell the greatest. Needless to say we left and ate else ware.

Marie Rosas

Usually love this place but today I got the worst service. Waitress only came to our table 2x and only brought us one refill. Forgot several extras we ordered for our meal. Plus since they changed food doesn't taste the same anymore.

Vanessa Lopez

The food is always delicious. Nadine gives the best service. Will be coming back!

Randy Poehl

What a very poor experience. We had just left another location because we got no service and the we ended up here. Service was ok but the boss ordered a beer and it was bad. He ordered another and just as bad. We asked for bread and they said it was in the oven. We ended up getting our food first and then the bread they did bring us was hot but was doughy. Manager came out to talk to us but it was just to late after the night we had.

Patsy Knox

Great eats and drinks!

E O Salinas

Food is delicious, love the new TV in the bar.

sweetdanica13

I have always been a Johnny's fan, I enjoy their stuffed mushroom appetizer and always order the spicy Romano chicken, its delicious! Hot, fresh bread dipped in olive oil is another thing I love about Johnny's. They have great happy hour specials on their newly remodeled bar side.

Cassidy Cordova

My favorite spot for delicious Italian food. excellent spot to spend time alone or talk business. the bill was fair i would say.

Rafael Hernandez

Very bad, dirty plates,bad sevice,roach... etc.

Gerda Knowles

We enjoyed a tasty meal with good service.

Raul Cruz

Great CUSTOMER SERVICE by Linda. She took my order on the phone and was very assertive. As soon as I pulled up to the To Go Parking, she brought out my food. Ask for Linda whenever you place your order for pick up.

michelle campos

I have had my birthday dinner here for as long as I can remember. NEVER AGAIN! First, a bug in my bellini. Then, waiter killed a couple roaches, another was climbing on the wall. THEN, a flying roach flew at us and finally landed on a little boy who was terrified. The table beside us killed one more roach before we had enough and left. The food was good, but it was just too disgusting to eat the cake there. At least we got our meals free.

Ileana Hinojosa

Food was delicious, service was great, and I had a wonderful date night with my husband.

Avery Stout

Italian food at this place - excellent. Stopped in on a Tuesday. The service was very kind and attentive. It has a cool interior.

Pedro Saldana

I had not been to a JC in a couple of years due to past negative experiences. I decided to give it another try and wow. The have rebuild the menu and changed the atmosphere of the place. Will definitely be going back as a regular.

Margarito Guzman

Awsome food great for family gatherings

Alberto Mendoza

Food great, service so so.

Joseph Hernandez

This place has gone way way down. Service is not good at all. Not even a little good. It's just not what it use to be. I'm really sad to see it so rundown.
