I love little places like this. Definitely worth the stop. I had a cheeseburger with onions mustard chili and slaw and my husband had a chilli cheese dog. The burgers were freshly made and the cheese was freshly cut into large chunks. Soooo sooo good.

I’ve been meaning to try this place for the last five years or so and today I decided to take the hour drive.
The place was packed, and there was a very long line of people waiting for to go orders, and to be seated. I quickly realized that placing a Togo order would be my fastest way to get these burgers.
My first observation was the staff was a very tight knit, bunch, working extremely hard, and had a very good system in place.
I ordered two cheese burgers with onions and mayonnaise a side of french fries and a Pepsi. I waited around 25 to 30 minutes for my food to be ready. While waiting I chatted with many friendly customers as we all shared a common interest of waiting anxiously for our burgers.
I took the burgers right to the parking lot and devoured them on the trunk of my car.
The taste was absolutely exceptional! Everything I heard about these burgers came true. Within my first bite I was in heaven. My hour drive and 30 minute wait for the food was now a thing of the past as I continued to devour these remarkable burgers.
I can’t wait to come back!

So I am 38 years old and I have lived in the Siler City are my whole life… I have never until today been to Johnsons and what a disappointment that was… First off we looked it up online to see if they take cards because we didnt have cash, online it says yes they do take cards and then we get in there only to find out that they dont take cards. Now let’s go to the staff. They were super sweet and tried to make sure our first experience was fantastic and for the service aspect of it, it was! Now to the drinks specifically. They have canned drinks so everytime you want a “refill” it cost another $1.95 which in my opinion is definitely “behind the times.” And at this point we move on to the food… sad. I get a hot dog with chili cheese and slaw when I go to the little restaurants that serve nothing but burgers fries and hotdogs. The slaw was quite tasty but the chili was not horrible but could have been better, didnt have much flavor it was just a little spicy. The cheese was this thick piece of velveeta that kind of overpowered the whole hotdog. My husband got the double cheeseburger which was $14 and absolutely not worth that price! It was juicy but tasted like a burger king patty with the same velveeta cheese (at least his was melted). But he said it wasn’t great. They also serve everything on parchment paper… Strange. And then there’s the fries. We got cheese fries and of course there would be the same velveeta cheese that wasn’t melted so I tried 1 fry and it wasn’t great and it was a little cold.
After waiting 38 years upset over and over again because we missed their times that greatly anticipated visit to a supposedly unique little “down home country” place we were sadly very disappointed.

This is an amazing family owned restaurant that has been around for at least 40 years. The restaurant is spotlessly clean and efficient based on the size of their kitchen and orders that come in. You can eat in in their glass area or make a take out order. Your Food is not cooked into you order it so if you’re taking the food to go plan to wait a few minutes. But the owner will talk to you and make it a pleasant experience. It’s worth getting off the road for a few minutes to have this experience of a North Carolina classic.

A local legend, never open when we pass by until today. Cyndi described it as stepping into a time machine. Fresh ingredients prepared right in front of you. 12 burgers at a time on the grill. Big slabs of cheese cut individually.
We both got the cheeseburgers, and split an order of fries. And the question is, how good are they?
I rated them good to very good, but not knock-your-socks-off. Cyndi rated them higher, but I think she was enchanted by the Ambiance a little bit.
They’re only open for a couple of hours around noon time, always crowded, But if there ever open again when we pass by, I’d be glad to stop.

Burger was good but they overcharged me by 40 cents. Curious why 7.25 burger plus 7 % tax was a total of 8.15 instead of the correct 7.75 ?

Great place. Been serving since 1946. Staff is very friendly. Everything is cooked to order so don’t be in hurry. Seating is limited so expect to stand in line unless you get there early. You can get everything on your burger or dog except bacon. Can’t even get a BLT! If you are in the area you must stop in!
