From the beginning, the vibes were so welcoming didn’t get a chance to take a picture of our food because no lie it was so delicious started with the buffalo wings (Soooo good) moved onto the barbecue cowboy burger (YUMM) we tried the onion rings also garlic fries, the chicken fritters mozzarella stick Philly cheesesteak and the Johnny’s famous Carne Asada fries and believe me when I say everything on our table was finished! lol the ice cream is also so delicious. Definitely will be coming back to bring my family here on a weekend basis thank you for the atmosphere and for the great customer service.

Solid burger place. Fun/relaxed atmosphere. Food was fresh and tasty. The gentleman who took our order was very friendly and patient (a plus when you have five kids). We particularly enjoyed the banana split. Definitely recommend!

This was a hidden gem, my family and I just happened to see it as we were driving through downtown trying to figure out what we were going to eat. The food was so good my boys took their friends there the next day! Johnny and his partner were so nice, great personalities, and very attentive. Definitely going back!!!

Better than average food truck experience. Had a great crispy (v. crispy) chicken sandwich. Came with great fries. Service was exceptional! Especially for a seat-yourself setup.

First time coming here, and I felt like I was walking into a friend's backyard for a cookout! Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. The burgers were amazing! So fresh, juicy, and steaming hot. I can't remember the last time I had a burger this good! I can't have oily foods in public because I don't have a gallbladder (iykyk), but this burger and fries gave me absolutely zero issues. Will definitely "dine in" next time for the full vibes! Their vanilla shake was also so tasty. Not overly sweet and refreshing.

1st time there. The owner was very pleasant and polite. Food was good. I ate my food so fast, I forgot to take a picture of it. But it was a pineapple burger.
