I placed a take out order for Johnny Ads, hadnt had them in along time. I got a sm. Order of the lg gulf fried shrimp and a sm. Order of fried scallops well the shrimp were ok only got 6 for $18.00 not sure if thats the going rate but i was very disappointed with the scallops they were way over cooked AND CUT IN HALF!! And the PRICE WAS $22.55 for just those no fries, coleslaw nothing!! I definitely think thats ALOT for those! I personally wont be going back. So many people say they have such good seafood and im like what?? I dont see it! Have had wayyy better! Just my opinion of course

I’ve been going to Johnny ads for over 50 years and I have never had a bad order. I now live in Pennsylvania and I take a trip to Connecticut twice a year for the clam bellies. You won’t go wrong here.

This is a very casual, mostly seafood restaurant, with both indoor and outdoor seating. The quality of the food is excellent. It’s a good place to take kids. Music from the 50s and 60s is constantly playing, so this may influence your decision to eat here.

I had such an amazing experience with the staff at Johny Ad’s. Not only was the food and service great, but I left my purse there and didn’t realize until I was too far to return for it. The staff got in touch with me and mailed me my purse, which was so helpful. I will definitely be back next time I’m in the area!

Summer is officially here!! It’s always a great way to start off the season with a delicious hot lobster roll from Johnny Ads. And their french fries are just a perfect addition to a early lunch before the crowd hits. Although they have a very extensive menu, being a Yankee I cannot pass up a lobster roll. I have heard that their food is awesome and maybe someday I’ll be able to order something else all the locals know, and most summer people that are repeats, that this is the perfect spot at the shore. It’s even worth waiting in a long line for.Dont pass it up!!
