Two of these five days are not run anywhere else in the group, which is unusual for a chain board.

Johnny J's Pub & Grille, Portage Lakes

Quick answer

Monday wings, a Tuesday that is both a flat-price burger night and a trivia night, midweek appetizers, a $14.99 sirloin, and a Friday fish fry you can go back to. Two of those are specific to this address.

This week

Take Tuesday first, because it is the day that makes this room different. The burger deal here is $9.99 for a burger and a side — a flat price, not a discount off a list price. Medina, Springfield Township and Strongsville all print two dollars off burgers instead. Same day of the week, different offer, and this one is easier to budget.

Tuesday is also trivia night. Two Sporcle games, starting at 7pm. No other pub in the group has a trivia night at all, which means Tuesday at Manchester Road is the one evening in the week where the four rooms are doing genuinely different things. Details are on the trivia page.

Monday is 69¢ boneless wings, a price the group has printed since December 2018 and still prints in 2026. At this address the underlying boneless price is already lower than at the other pubs, but Monday flattens that anyway.

Wednesday runs $6 select appetizers — mozzarella sticks, fried pickles, loaded pub fries or tots, chicken tenders, macaroni and cheese bites, Reuben rolls — with Working Women's Wednesday from 3pm to 9pm on top, bringing $2 and $3 select drinks and $3 house wines.

There is a $14.99 sirloin on this board, and Friday is the all-you-can-eat fish fry at $14.99. What this room does not print is the Thursday steak-and-chop night the Medina board carries, which is a small difference and a real one.

How to order

Nothing on the board leaves the building. Every daily special is dine-in, needs a beverage bought with it, has no to-go container and will not combine with another offer — printed terms, not house policy invented here. The ordinary July 2026 card does travel, through the Portage Lakes Toast page. Collection is the route to plan around; delivery at this address is worth a phone call first.

When to come

Doors at eleven, kitchen to two, room to half past. Happy hour sits between 2pm and 5pm on weekdays and is a separate card, itemised on the happy hour page. Brunch is not served at this address, so a Saturday morning here is the regular menu rather than a separate morning card.

Boards are set per room. Medina prints the two-dollars-off Tuesday and a Thursday chop, and Strongsville replaces the Wednesday with something else again.
