They try for home cooked style buffet. Not my cup of tea but the Friday night Seafood has Catfish, White fish and Tilapia. The salad bar is sufficient. To me the price for what I will eat isn't worth it my family of young men love it so when they want to go, we go.

We have been coming here for about two years. We have always been pleased with the servers and the food. Never a bad experience. Also the owners wife Mei has always been welcoming and pleasant I've always enjoyed joking around with her she has a great sense of humor.

Visiting Cartersville today we decided to look for a non-chain restaurant. We saw Johnny Boy's on facebook. Sounded good and it sure was. Everything was cold or hot as it should have been. We didn't enjoy the desserts too much the bread pudding was too dry. The brownie was dry and lacked flavor. The girl who's served our table was excellent. We'll be back next time we're in the area.

We usually love it here, especially the service. Last week was a bit different, there was an older (white haired) server, we got here at 7:30, and weren’t aware they had moved hours back to 8 pm. Another couple was here too, with a toddler, got here around 7:45. They paid for their meal, hadn’t even sat down, when she calls out, “last call, get what you want from the bar we’re about to pull stuff.” The couple had to run up there, load up plates including dessert and keep running back to the table. We had to run up and get our entrees and dessert before they pulled them. I truly believe if a customer is able to come in and pay before closing they should be able to enjoy their meal and however many trips they make to the buffet right up until 8 pm, when the staff should BEGIN to clear the bar. I get that they want to get home from work, but if you advertise a 8 pm closing, then stay operational until 8 pm!!!
