“ Great lunch at Hot Johnnie's. Dude and I both opted for the Texas toast pastrami, with pepperjack cheese. Upgraded our sides to onion rings- perfectly crispy. The sandwiches were the perfect size and had great heat. We sat on the covered back patio with the dogs and enjoyed the lovely day. Everyone working there was great, and I can't wait to go back. The menu is extensive, I'd say there's something for everyone. ”

“ I've been visiting the Castro for a while and surprised I never tried it soon. It's slightly off the main Castro strip so it's easy to miss but I think it's one of the best quality food in the area. The back is insanely spacious and a great area to have a bite before going out, or after going out. Their pastrami sandwich is literally the best I've had in a while. It's pretty mild in terms of spice, but overall super well balanced with the buttery bread that it tastes extremely smooth with every bite. ”

“ Dutch Crunch is a f'ing amazing sandwich - tender, smoked brisket, melted pepper jack cheese, garlic aioli, pickles, pepperoncini, and a sprinkle of dill. On a perfectly crunchy Dutch crunch role. With waffle fries (get extra garlic aioli for dipping). Johnny graduated from the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu culinary school, but there's nothing pretentious about this down home eatery. Take out or dine in their lovely patio. So good! ”

“ The Marble Rye sandwich is delicious. I can taste it while writing this review lol the food is great. I've also had the chicken sandwhich once before. The sandwhich was HUGE. Great selection of items to choose. They have a large back patio area that has heating and a cover. Perfect for not so fun weather. Many chairs and tables to sit. I seen online that they also host events in the back area. Most recently a Drag brunch. The interior of the restaurant is clean and the staff were kind and nice. ”

“ Great vibes , excellent food - what else can you ask for on a sunny (or rainy) day in the amazing castro?! Super dog friendly too, so it doesn't get any better than this. They have a cute back patio perfect for private events too. Cheers ”

“ Stopped by on a Friday afternoon. Got to try the pastrami nachos and chicken parmigiana on Dutch crunch. The pastrami is definitely high quality here and has solid flavor. Hard to go wrong with cheesy waffle fries. The chicken parm sandwich was also good - well balanced, crispy chicken. I do wish there was something more to it (maybe a spicy kick) just to bring it up a notch. We sat in the back patio which was relaxing and comfortable, self serve water available as well. There was also a ping pong table. Had a good time here and I would come back to try their other menu items! ”

“ Came here for their drag brunch and had a really good time! The place had great energy and the food was solid. It seemed like they had their full menu and then some more brunchy items as well. Since it started later in the day, it was great that they had lunch items and not just eggs and sweets. We got some pastrami nacho fries to share, then I went with the chicken and garlic rice plate. I liked both items, but really loved the crispy chicken for my main. We ordered bottomless mimosas for the group and were shocked when they brought out a bottle per person. Totally get why they did so that we wouldn't have to be asking for more throughout the drag performance, but the bottles did get a little warm as we worked through all 8 of them. The show was super fun! There were 4 different queens all with their own vibe and energy. you have to pre purchase tickets online, which are $8 a piece. ”
