We decided to chase a waterfall and on our way to Mirror Lake, we came across this hidden gem in Melbourne! The hospitality was truly southern at its best... The food was delicious and the atmosphere was charming. Our waitress was amazing... super attentive, always smiling. I had one of the specials which was Honey Dijon Chicken... The sauce had the best flavor that Rich ended up putting some on his grilled catfish! My sweet potato fries were cooked perfectly crispy, baked beans were sweet and flavorful. Rich's salad was fresh and his baked potato was huge! We both had fried pie for dessert (apricot and blackberry) that were so mouthwateringly delicious that I'm craving it this morning as I write this! If you're ever on a drive through Arkansas or just wanna go out for a delicious country cooked meal, I highly recommend Johnson's! We will definitely be back.

FANTASTIC FOOD! We were passing through on a Sunday evening. We had passed by Johnson’s before but had never stopped. This evening we were starving and tired of fast food. The restaurant was busy with one waitress! I wish I caught her name because she deserves a raise. That girl was hustling!!! Our service never faltered. The food was fantastic and our drinks stayed full. The cook delivered our food and he killed it! We will definitely be back!

Loved this Restraunt! It was nostalgic & the staff was so friendly. It felt like being home again back in the 80’s. The Chocolate Gravy with biscuits was amazing! Everything was great.

We've wanted to come here for awhile, we live close, but haven't got around to it till today. I've heard really good things about Johnson's! And it lived up to our expectations! It was pretty busy but we got our food very quickly and our waitress had the best personality and was very attentive!

Service was great. Everyone was friendly. I had the catfish, okra, hush puppies and beans. Each were delicious. Also, had cheese sticks for an app. They were great.
