Johnny Dee’s Lounge — Restaurant in Maryland

My husband and I live in TN and called and spoke with John about an odd request to order some Sour Beef and Dumplings to get to his 104 year old great grandfather, who lives on the eastern shore by Ocean City, where there are no places with good sour beef and dumplings. John was an absolute delight to speak with and he was absolutely happy to help us out. We made arrangements that when one of his family members or employees went out that way for any vacations, they would drop it off to the house for us. Several weeks had gone by, but one day I had received a phone call from John saying that he was going to the beach the following week and would still be happy to prepare the food and drop them off for us. We were so pleased that he remembered and that it was still something that he was willing to do for complete strangers. After that, everything went as planned and not only did he drop them off, but he went inside and showed him how to put it all together. My husband's great grandfather was surprised and so happy, and he loved his food! We will forever appreciate the work this man has done to help our family with this odd request. Thank you so much,...

The menu had a variety of American style food and the food was okay. It was a experience, but overall taste of food and ambiance were not such that I would go back on a regular basis. This is definitely a place to go for locals and we could tell there are some very loyal...

We moved to AVL from Baltimore about 13 years ago. Came back to town post- hurricane and decided to visit some old favorite haunts. We had lunch at Jonny D’s today and enjoyed a bit of nostalgia. Not only were our sandwiches- hot roast beef and hot turkey the same as we remembered but our server, Joanie who waited on us has done so many times. Before our move south, this was a favorite spot for us and I didn’t realize how much I missed it. Joanie gave great service and we enjoyed a little of ‘old Baltimore’....
