At first, we seriously questioned our decision. My wife asked, “Where are we?” Her friend replied, “It has a 4.9 rating with 200 reviews!” I said, “Hey, sometimes the hole-in-the-wall spots are the best. Let’s give it a shot.”
We were told it’d be a 40-minute wait for food—not a big deal since we had small kids and plenty of outdoor seating. But the smell? Rough. Like roadkill. Not exactly the most inviting first impression.
We were all wondering what we’d gotten ourselves into… and then the food arrived. Suddenly everything changed.
The fries? Amazing.
The hamburger melt? Insanely good.
The cucumber and tomato salad? So fresh and full of flavor.
It was honestly kind of crazy how good it all was. Total redemption.
Overall, 5 stars for a roadside joint. Friendly service (though a bit slow), but if they could get rid of that roadkill smell, the atmosphere would improve dramatically. Still, the food alone makes it worth the stop.
Con: the sammies were so juicy, we needed extra napkins. DROOL!
I can also highly recommend the fish tacos from a previous visit.
We had the OG smash burger and citrus and beet salad. Both were spectacular.
We’re visiting from Rochester and are so happy we made the drive, we’ll definitely be coming back.
Thank you very much to the Johnnys Kitchen crew!
If you’re on a brewery / wine tour this is a must stop for one of the best smash burgers out there. Looks like just an ice-cream stand, but it’s so much more!
Several sandwich options available (all of which looked great), but they have something special going with their smash burger.
The ‘Smash Burger’ is a juicy, “smash style” burger with the perfect seasoning blend (think Five Guys but so much better). I doubled it (2nd patty) for $3 – SO worth it – This may be the best burger I’ve ever had (and I will travel for a good burger). Just a perfect burger. Gooey cheese fills the crisp, yet juicy patty, a fresh, flavorful tomato and shredded lettuce, yes SHREDDED LETTUCE (there should be some sort of law standardizing this style of lettuce for a burger or sub). If I had room for another I would have gotten one. Half way through my burger I said I couldn’t wait to make it back for another!
Dinning partner got the “patty melt” and said it was the best they’ve ever had (sautéed onions, jalapeños and a garlic mayo on grilled toast) – honestly, for a patty melt – it was extra special.
About 40 mins from Ithaca and if it was closer, my waist line would be in serious trouble. If you’re a burger person, treat yourself. Very fair prices to downright cheap for what is basically a farm-to-table restaurant (they even list the farms the source from).
If it’s your first time – it’s attached to an ice-cream stand on it’s left and it’s easy to think that’s all that’s there while driving – the kitchen is a little back and to the right of the ice-cream stand (when looking from the road / on the west/lake side of 414).
