Johnny's Kitchen

The gluten free fried chicken sandwich changed my life. If you’re in the neighborhood, you have to swing by!!

I discovered Johnny's Kitchen in the summer of 2023, tucked away next to a highway ice cream stand in rural NY. Since then, we've found countless reasons to make the 40-minute drive to this hidden gem. The rotating menu features freshly made bread and unique sauces. Their incredible gluten-free bread is made in-house, and they offer excellent dairy-free options as well. The hamburgers and chicken wings are amazing, and the fish fry is to die for. I typically don't order salads at restaurants, but after trying them here, I always make sure to get one. Their salads are made with locally sourced ingredients and are simply fantastic. The food quality far exceeds the extremely affordable prices. As of summer 2024, $25-30 gets you a side, an entree, an appetizer to share, and even enough food for the next day's meal. The only downside might be the long wait times, as the owners Johnny and Regan prepare everything themselves with a lot of love and hard work. But trust me, it's totally worth the wait. The owners and the employees are very very friendly and nice. Can't recommend this place enough! If you are in the finger lakes region, this place is worth the drive.

Best smash burger I've ever had. So flavourful, meaty and tasty. Amazing fries. Such a great find in the Finger Lakes area. A great traditional American diner. Very knowledgeable and accommodating for those with celiac disease.
