“ I was happy to try Johnn'ys Hots for the first time today even though I've been in the neighborhood for years. I heard that the hot sausage was the pick for a top choice there. The sandwich was prepared fast and tasted fresh and delicious. The hot sausage had a moderate spice level with great flavor. I enjoyed that and a cup of coffee at Penn Treaty Park across the street. ”
“ Johny Hots is the top of the line when it comes to take out steak and other sandwiches . The place is super clean, Johnny keeps the place immaculate ! You can't beat the fast service . And that is with Johnny taking three additional orders as he is still cooking the last five , nothing written down , all by memory, all while bull shitting with customers out the window. The prices , they don't matter. Your getting the best sandwich from the cleanest place from a guy who still cares about what he does and takes pride in the product that he supplies . Try a Chicken Cheese Steak , it's fresh chicken breast marinating in a refrigerated drawer close to the grill . All white meat chicken breast is chopped up on the grill just like a steak . Add your cheese , wit or wit out, some mayo and a hot cherry pepper . That's what I'm talking about ! Jeweatyet ??? ”

“ Johnnys is and has always beeb great ....the people, the food & service...dont get any better.....johnny is like family...been going there over 25 yrs....never havev a problem ...go give it a shot ..you won't regret it ”
“ This is the place. I have been looking for exactly this for years. It’s the perfect breakfast sandwich. An absolutely excellent family-owned and run joint with amazing freshly made and reasonably priced bacon egg and cheese sandwiches. What more can one possibly need? Great iced coffee too and a side of scrapple which was also excellent. Inexpensive too. I will be a loyal customer and honestly can’t recommend this place enough. It’s cash only, but very much worth the ATM trip. Don’t use their ATM out front though, it has a totally ridiculous 3 or 4 surcharge. Considering many of their sides/additions cost 1 or less, the first time I stopped by I actually left. I didn’t have cash and the ATM was just stupid to use. But a total 10/10 experience otherwise. ”
“ Very good food and coffee. A really good place to go to. Especially for construction and demo workers. ”
