WOW!! I am soooo glad I had to go to the Ross at McClintock and Southern last friday for a special pick-up or I would have NEVER found this place!! One word...AMAZING!! I am a hotdog lover and the sign said hotdogs so thought I would chance it. I ordered the NYC dog with mustard and kraut...typically very basic...but it was incredible! The hotdog was HUGE and juicy, the poppy seed bun soft and delicious and the kraut completed the experience! DELICIOUS!!!
As I waited I noticed the person behind me ordered a burger and I watched the cook throw a round, raw FRESH MEAT burger patty on the grill and smash it! I saw the onions go on next to the burger and I knew next time I had to try it...it smelled incredible....
Today was the "next time" and I knew I had to try that burger even though I am not a burger person typically. I ordered the Cheeseburger with mushrooms and mustard. I watched him place my "meatball" onto the grill and toss a handfull of FRESH mushrooms onto the grill right next to my burger! My mouth was watering right there looking at those fresh ingredients!
I was not disappointed... It was definately one of the best burgers I have eaten! I wish I would have taken a photo to share, but I was so hungry after watching the chef all I could think about was that first bite! Sesame bun soft, plenty of cheese and the mushrooms....the freshly GRILLED mushrooms...perfect!! It was huge and I cut it in half (to eat only half) but it was so good I finished if off...much to my overstuffed tummy's opposition!!! I immediately wanted to smoke a cigarette afterwards (even though I don't smoke) because it was THAT GOOD!! LOL!! :)
Don't miss this "hidden gem" that I never knew existed! If you are visiting from out of town, entertaining guests from out of town or just a local who loves a good burger/dog, you can't go wrong at Johnnys'!! YUM! :)
