Love this place! Can't ever go wrong stopping in for their Texas burgers and fries. Not a fan of hotdogs myself but my cousin only will eat them from here.

If you're from the area, you get the appeal of Johnny's. It's a staple. It's been there forever. It's awesome. If you're travelling from out of town like me, skip the salads and chain restaurants, be a glutton, and order a half dozen Texas Hots with everything. You'll thank me later. BTW, if you're a "plain with ketchup" type of person, please just go away. If your plate isn't covered is secret sauce, then why are you even here???

Well, I remember Johnny well...my grandmother rest her soul used to mix the spices in the back room for him. I remember waiting for my mother after school because she was a waitress for Johnny and he would always bring me a milkshake! I also remember a customer named banana and when he was robbed Johnny was so sad because banana always sat at the same booth on north main st...Johnny RIP and I just want his family to know he was bigger than life and left a mark on me from the 1960's I have always cherished in my heart.

The cheapest burgers, hotdogs & cheeseburgers around. Service is fast and friendly. You can't eat this food all the time. However, once in awhile it's a great treat!

I haven't been there in about 25 years. I used to eat there almost every day for lunch. I stopped while I was in the area because of the great memories I had of the place. The food was excellent, the service was excellent and the price was excellent. It's how I remember it from back in the day. *Rev Recommended*

I have never been anywhere else that tenderizes their hot dogs like this! They were delicious. The secret sauce is unique and worth trying on everything! The service was phenomenal - the sweetest lady was working the counter.
