Johnny Carino's - Corpus Christi

I still don?t get it why this restaurant has a bad review. These are the highlight dishes I got from yesterday. The baked stuffed mushroom hits right on spot. The sauce, the mushrooms, the stuffed, they are all so good together. The main dishes I gotthe fettuccine, it was good but nothing special. My friend got the SIZZLING SKILLETINI CACCIATORE and it was bomb! Everythingin the dish was really detailed, and all of the ingredients in it just make the plate a perfect dish! Will come back to try morefor sure!!! ????

Garlic bread was DELICIOUS! Big portions but can use some seasoning in my opinion. The salmon was well seasoned and flavorful though!

We stopped by this restaurant since we were in the area and had missed it, especially after all the ones near us closed down. The food was decent, but the service left a lot to be desired. The host/server who seated us seemed really annoyed and made a comment like, "Does the other girl have tables available?" It was surprising that they didn't even know their coworker's name. As for drinks, I wouldn't recommend spending your money on them. I ordered the two-for-$10 drink special, but as a lightweight, I should have felt tipsy after one drink, yet I didn't feel anything after both. Furthermore, we weren't informed about the drink special either; servers should really be aware of what promotions they have. Our server was competent, but definitely not very friendly. I would definitely return for the food, but not for the atmosphere.

We absolutely love this Johnny Carino's! I just booked our reservation for Thanksgiving Day, and this will be our third year celebrating here. The food is consistently fantastic, not just on Thanksgiving but every visit, and the staff are always friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the cuisine is top-notch. We've always received excellent service, even during busy times when they seemed a bit short-staffed. It's truly a wonderful restaurant!

I had wings and a couple of drinks, and both the service and the food were fantastic, despite the restaurant being short-staffed. Amazing experience!
