Johnny J's in
Springfield Township

Quick answer

This is the Waterloo Road pub. Its postal address reads Akron 44312 (Springfield Township), which is why searching for a Johnny J's in Akron returns it, but the room itself sits in Springfield Township, which is why the site calls it that. Same building, two names, and it is worth knowing which one your directions are using.

The pub

Google has this address down simply as a Bar and grill. Where the Medina and Manchester Road listings add Pub and Sports bar behind that, and Pearl Road adds Restaurant and Sports bar, this one carries no secondary categories at all. The listing is thinner than the room, which is a good part of the reason this page is as detailed as it is.

What the kitchen actually cooks is the April 2026 main card, which this room shares with Medina and with no one else in the group. Nineteen house sauces sit on the wing board with four dry rubs behind them, and the list runs from Mild and Hot through Buffalo Cajun, Hot Garlic, Habanero Mango and Spicy Thai Chili up to Scorpion, with Mike's Hot Honey, Caribbean Jerk, Teriyaki, BBQ, Honey BBQ, Garlic, Creamy Garlic Parmesan, Honey Mustard, Ranch, Chipotle Ranch, Buffalo Ranch and Johnny J's Secret in between.

Weekends bring brunch, 10am to 3pm on Saturday and Sunday, off the same September 2025 brunch card that Medina uses. The printed note on it is worth repeating because people get caught by it: brunch ends half an hour before major games and events. An early kickoff shortens the morning.

Hops & Shots runs here too — a year-long push through more than 120 beers and more than 130 select spirits, with gear, prizes and beer as you go. Sign-up happens at the bar and nowhere else.

There is a patio at this address. The pub's wording for it is plain outdoor seating rather than the all-seasons phrasing Medina uses, and the advice on the patio page is to ring and check it is open on the day. That is the honest answer; nobody has published a season calendar for it.

How to order

This room's Toast page is the longest-named of the four, because it carries the street address in the link itself: toasttab.com/johnny-j-s-springfield-2891-east-waterloo-rd. That is a useful accident — it is the one ordering link you cannot mistake for another pub's. Uber Eats and DoorDash both carry this address, and delivery is recorded as available.

Tables are not bookable anywhere in the group; the Reservations button opens Toast. Parties go through (234) 466-0365 and catering wants seven days' notice, which the parties page explains.

When to come

Doors at 10am, kitchen off at 2am, room off at 2:30am. The brand's own line is seven days a week, 365 days a year. Weekday lunch is its own window between 11:30am and 2pm with create-your-own combos, and happy hour follows straight after it from 2pm to 5pm.

The evening board goes wings on Monday at 69¢ boneless, two dollars off burgers on Tuesday, $6 select appetizers on Wednesday with Working Women's Wednesday between 3pm and 9pm, steak and chop on Thursday, and a $14.99 fish fry to finish the week. All of it is dine-in with a beverage purchase and none of it stacks. The specials page goes day by day.

Visit

2891 E Waterloo Rd, Akron OH 44312 (Springfield Township) · (330) 628-3773 · open 10am–2:30am.

The entrance is recorded as wheelchair accessible. Beyond that, this listing carries fewer recorded attributes than its sister pubs do — takeout, delivery and dine-in are confirmed, and anything else is a question for the bar rather than a claim for a web page. Ring (330) 628-3773 if a specific access need decides the visit.

The full menu is here. If Waterloo Road is the wrong direction, Medina cooks from the identical card, and Portage Lakes prints a shorter, cheaper one of its own.
