Review Johnny's - Westport

Came here for dinner after a 20km hike. Such a welcoming and helpful team. Great tasting food, very knowledgeable about allergies. They offer a great range of Gluten free options, and their food is very well presented. Beautiful photos of the west coast adorn the walls, nice private booths, or tables for over 4 people, as well as options to sit outside in the fresh air. All staff working here, were all constantly busy which is always good to see. We will most certainly be coming back when we visit Westport. If there was an option for 10 stars, I would definitely have given Johnnys 11.

Came here after cycling the old ghost road, I had the chicken burger which was epic, really delicious crusty bread, succulent grilled chicken with the pesto and it was so cheesy. The guys I was with had the tacos and they said they were amazing. Couldn't resist the sticky date pudding to share and we didn't regret it!!! Thanks for the feed and the awesome service guys, much enjoyed after a hard bike ride! I will be back for the tapas!!!

The food was good, but the customer service was a bit lacking. We pointed out that Google says they close at 7pm, which nearly put us off coming for dinner, but they weren't too fussed by the error and said that the sooner people leave, the sooner they themselves can go home 🤷. I'm not sure why you'd want to be in hospitality if you don't really want customers to know you're open ....

Lovely and helpful staff, plenty gluten-free meals and desserts, delicious food and lovely atmosphere. Inside is very nice, but not so posh that you feel the need to be dressed up. Overall great experience, and will definitely go again if I am in the area. :) (Sorry for bad photo quality, my phone camera is busted)

What a wonderful restaurant! We came for a pre-organized bulk booking, and they managed all 20+ of us so efficiently and well. Turns out that what I had ordered (Pot of Mussels) are no longer on their menu, but they did them for me anyway. They were very yummy! I looked at other meals around me and they all looked so good, especially the salmon. The staff are amazingly attentive and looked after every need we had quickly and well. Highly recommend Johnny's!

Brillant friendly and knows service. Awesome, super yummy food and very ceoliac friendly. Highly recommend the lamb shanks 😉

Food was delicious, great service

Nice restaurant.. Friendly staff... Good price good service thanks you

If you like Whitebait Fritters this place creates the best Whitebait Fritters. They are so fresh and the serve was an excellent size for a main.

One of the better places in Westport... good selection of entrees... some local beers on tap and generous mains... desserts not bad either ... especially the affogato

Amazing food,so tasteful and the service was excellent. Visiting from out of town but will make an effort to come back here for sure. Thank you

What a gem I found in Westport! Fantastic Vegan options big meal too. Open from 11am to late you can dine anytime. Came here 3 times during my stay in Westport something for all the family. Cosy fire and super friendly staff thank you for your hospitality will definitely be back!

Came with a group of 6 of us from Auckland. Great food and service. Probably the best whitebait fritters I've ever had. Calamari was tender and delicious too. Good portion sizes. Go the West Coast!! We'll be back

Delicious food in a charming heritage environment. Lovely friendly service and old fashioned hospitality. For a rainy relaxed Sunday afternoon visit it was absolutely perfect. Everything is amazing value for money too! Highly recommended!

Best place in town!! Huge portion sizes. BEST PASTA I HAVE EVER TASTED. we went to celebrate having closed on our first home. When the staff learned what we were celebrating, they brought us champagne on the house! Wonderful service and very welcoming atmosphere.

Absolutely stunning food! The mussels were freshly steamed in beer - a refreshing change to most wine-based methods. Whitebait fritters were an absolute delight! And the rig fish was surprisingly sweet and perfectly cooked. Also kudos to the great and attentive service. My family and I had a fantastic dinner. Thanks Johnny!

Great place to eat. Vegan burger was excellent the chef personally coming out to check everything was top notch. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

Just been to johnnys tonight the waitress was very polite and friendly and went above duty to make it special for my daughter. The meals were delicious the steak was cooked perfectly thanks to the chef (Chris). Will definitely be going back. Thanks everyone.

Amazing Staff, good choice of tap beers from west coast brewery, nice terrace! What else?!

Thank you for fantastic meals tonight - the food was all delicious and great fast service. Lovely friendly service, even had the lovely waitress laughing along with us at dessert time. Wi definitely be back.

I'm not a food sharing kind of person, but I'm a fan of Johmnys. Usually start with s baked Camembert and then graze my way through a few other smaller dishes (or have s steak: lovely) then finish with an apple crumble - served in an enamel dish just like my gramma used to make them!

Thanks for an awesome night of great hospitality, food to die for and a beautiful environment to relax in. Would highly recommend you guys and we will be back for sure �

Fantastic food and servers, such a lovely place :) Thank you for being so understanding and lovely to our 1 year old, he loved the food too! Definitely worth it.

Friendly staff & I love that they use paper straws! However the meals were abit inconsistent eg, (the lamb burger portion had a lot less meat than the others) and we spotted a big spider in my brothers salad, he said his steak was great! Don’t forget your insect repellent �

Absolutely love the food, staff and owners. I'm a Sunday roast regular and have not been let down once �

Lovely meal, well presented and best of all they make fantastic desserts! Good staff, polite and helpful.

Thank you Johnny's for the great food and even better service handling an unruly bunch!

Had a fantastic meal here tonight! Been in New Zealand over a week on North and South Island and this was by far the best. Great group of people!!

Loved the menu & food. Service was the best! Wish you were in my town but we will return for sure.

Awesome thanks for the birthday dinner, even a decent price steak eggs and chips for the lads in the group. Definitely going to come back for more tapas �

It was a lovely dinner and the staff were friendly. Thanks for a beautiful place �

We had a lovely meal, the staff are friendly and very happy to accomodate us. Highly reccommend Johnnys .

Had the best Sunday Roast Lunch yesterday at Johnnys. Many thanks Janis, will definitely be back ��
