Johnny Carino's - Odessa

My experience there was fantastic. As soon as I entered the hostess seated me and was very friendly. I asked my server, Christina, what she suggested I order. She recommended the Ribeye which I chose to try. The customer who came in at the nexttable right after I received it said he smelled it outside as he entered and it smelled awesome. I asked who cooked it andChristina said Jeff. Jeff knows how to cook! Christina was very friendly and efficient. I usually order a coke and water dueto the servers not checking on their customers, not there though. A very enjoyable meal and they will definitely be seeing moreof me there.

Update review. My family and I gave it another try and had absolutely AMAZING SERVICE AND FOOD. Caitlyn was amazing and very attentive as our server. Ask for her if you stop in. I would highly recommend coming here. The food was absolutely delicious andplentiful. Very fresh. We are definitely taking food home (lunch tomorrow ???? We also met Jeff the manager on duty and hewas super nice. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you all for an amazing experience!

We had been here about a month ago! Service was horrible and the food was nasty! We paid for the meals of course. I spoke to the manager, his name is Jeff. He asked us to come back and give them another chance. We did today. Service was great but what wasmost improved was the food. It was great. Thank goodness because we really love it here and I?m glad Jeff is trying his best toget this place back in order.

Had a great dinner with Caitlyn S and Tia Armstrong at the bar. One of the best steaks I?ve had in the Permian in a while. Beers were cold, bar was clean, staff was friendly and hustling. Manager Jeffrey even cooked our steaks to perfection. We willdefinitely be back!

I was excited to stop in here for dinner since we no longer have one in my town. I sure was disappointed. The bread was good and the dipping oil was very good. I had the combination plate with chicken parmigiana with spaghetti and raviolis with jalapeñocream sauce. It was terrible, all of it. The chicken parm was definitely pre made and microwaved. It was disgustingly tough andchewy and the sauce was horrible. One bite and that was all I could handle so I tried the spaghetti, nope, still bad. The saucewas used on both and had a horrible spoiled taste. On to the raviolis, these weren?t as bad but I would never order them again.The sauce had canned pickled jalapeños and it tasted awful with cream sauce. I won?t go back here for awhile, if ever.
