So let me start by saying I have been going here since I was a kid. This place is an institution I have many fond memories of eating here.
So when I happened to find myself in Scarborough and craving a burger this was my first stop. And well let's just say my tastes has changed a lot since my younger days.
Don't get me wrong this place meets many burger joint must haves; namely great milkshakes, yummy onion rings and of course greasy burgers. But the quality of the burger was the problem. They where frozen burgers not fresh from ground beef. I guess I shouldn't have expected real beef but the place is called Johnny's hamburgers!! As soon as you walk in there are open boxes of burgers everywhere announcing that you will not be getting anything fresh. Fries where also a disappointment. They were similar to the fries I remember from my high school cafeteria. If you must order them get then covered in gravy or make sure you smother them in ketchup.
The sum up...
- great milkshakes, onion rings, and old school retro ambiance, tasty burgers considering they aren't real beef, oh and it's super cheap! We ordered 2 bacon cheese burgers, fries, onion rings, and a milkshake gave the guy $20 and got back change
- the negatives poor quality burgers, fries tasteless
If you are in the area need a burger, don't have a lot of money, pass by this place. It's worth a try.
