    Holy cow..I always drive by this spot and have never been like, "ooh let me try it out", (especially it being right next to a high school and swarmed with kids) until it was recently recommended. Damn was I sleeping on them! It's super nice and tidy, cute artwork all over the wall, cashiers/servers are kind and helpful. They have a huge menu, everything sounds mouthwatering, would definitely come back to try out other dishes. Dined in with my family, had the chicken avocado club (THICK CHICKEN 🤤), western bacon cheeseburger (Smoky BBQ 👌) and the heart stopper (Pairs well with A1 sauce 🔥) 🤯🤯🤯 SUUUUUUUPPEERRRR FIRE 💯

    I've never had a problem with John's. I always either get the spinach and feta omelette or southwestern chicken sandwich with avocado instead of bacon because they're both so damn good. This time though, I ordered the southwestern chicken sandwich with avocado instead of bacon, and they forgot the chicken... Other than that one issue, this is my go to place for drive thru food.

    So. Stinking. Good! The best was the carne asada fries. Did not expect to get something that well cooked at a burger joint. Also loved that there are hash browns in the breakfast burrito.

    On this visit I had the breakfast melt sandwich for dinner. It has ham, bacon, fried eggs (yes, two eggs), tomatoes and cheese on grilled sourdough with 1000 island dressing. Was absolutely 💯% delicious. My family also loves their French Toast for dinner sometimes. The people that work here are amazingly friendly and really seem to appreciate my business. The ladies up front work very hard to make sure your order is exactly the way it was ordered. Tipping them is the right thing to do (good karma too!) even if you're going drive-thru or take-out, they are that good here. I walked out of there paying about $35 for 3 meals last night. So it's a good deal for a quality meal too. I most definitely recommend John's!

    Great food and good service. I ordered the daily special which was the homemade chicken pot pie and every bite was great. It had a layer of crust both on top and on the bottom which was sweet and buttery. It also came with a slice of garlic bread which was tasty.

    Always the best burgers and sandwiches! Plus, the fries are amazing! Breakfast burritos are huge and SO good. This is a favorite place for my family, if you haven't been there you need to try it! It does have a drive thru, but it can be a little slow because it's always so busy. I think they're closed on Tuesdays right now so check before going over. (due to covid related short staffing)

    I came here for the memories. I used to work next door before Amazon took over. This would be my go to place for lunch. I consider this place mid price as well as amazing food. Getting any sandwich combo gives you plenty of fries to enjoy. Also dont forget to ask for ranch as they are not stingy with that like other places. I usually get the chicken avocado sandwich or the southwest and the sourdough bread they used is so good. Makes you want to come back for more. Also realistically the burgers are a decent size to share them on a budget.

    Long time establishment and I know why... the food portions are generous, fresh and so good! The Turkey, Swiss and avocado sandwich was simple, but very satisfying. The French toast was perfect and the pancake plate was more than ample. The restaurant has a small town feel with friendly staff. Definitely worth checking out and I will be returning!

    Very friendly atmosphere. Been there many times and go back for more! They have great hamburgers, sandwiches, breakfasts and more. I had their special today. Chicken pot pie, yum! My husband ordered the chili cheese omelet. It was huge and came with a big helping of hashbrowns and toast.

    This place is Awesome!! Great food and great polite and friendly staff. The dinner specials are first rate! It’s a Long Beach gem and I recommend it to anyone that is looking for something delicious in a clean and welcoming atmosphere

  • 5/5 Brenda T. 6 months ago on Google
    Incredible food and nice employees! Cost was comparable to Carl's, where I'd only go for fast food until I tried John's. The menu is extensive, so it'll take me and my granddaughters a while to fully appreciate the total package.🤭

  • 5/5 J W. 5 months ago on Google
    It is an amazing place with great food and better customer service! It's good to know a neighbor diner like this is so reliable, and they honor their veterans! Can't suggest highly enough!

  • 5/5 Frank N. 7 months ago on Google
    Nice local burger shop that does other food for daily specials. Clean restaurant, friendly staff. Ordered the Old World Burger combo. Patty had fresh herbs mixed in and was juicy. Fries were on the more potato-y side but I'm a fan of that.

  • 5/5 gene s. 1 year ago on Google
    The Old World Burger makes this place a local landmark. It's located near Millikan High School in Long Beach on Spring Street just east of Palo Verde. Great menu with a wide variety of choices. Their fish and chips are great! My wife loves their cold turkey sandwich. Their French 🍟 fries are fantastic. We drive about 6 miles to come here to pick up and take home. But they have a nice indoor seating area Highly recommended!

    John's is great for patio dining or drive thru. If you are doing drive thru give yourself some time. The line is often long but it is worth it because they don't precook their food. When you get it is it hot! They have a big selection of items to order and they don't scrimp on anything! This is on our go to list for regular, easy meals.

  • 5/5 Clark R. 1 year ago on Google
    I've been eating @ this spot ( before they were @ this location) since the mid 90's. The tacos are soooo dang delicious! Now, you gotta have tacos & the Crème Brule! What tha?! CRÈME BRULE?! At a drive-thru?! YEP! Soooo delicate, sooo perfectly DEEELICIOOUUS!!!

  • 2/5 Dustin B. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was ok. A bit salty. However not nearly as salty as the drive thru windows associate. So sorry the menu online advised “breakfast served all day” so we were unaware the biscuits and gravy were an exception to this rule. Also seemed very inconvenienced by inquiring about a to go menu. So sorry as the price online did not match what we just got charged. Happy to have finally tried it, but doubt we will be coming back.

  • 5/5 Jon L. 1 year ago on Google
    Got tired of going to Fresh and smelling that gawd dang smell of deliciousness. Usually a line, but I snuck in one day when there wasn't anyone in line and I never regret it. Great fast food spot. Helpful staff made sure I got the right burger with green 🌶️, despite my ordering errors.

  • 5/5 Brian B. 1 year ago on Google
    Pretty neat place with an expansive, unexpected variety to menu and lots of different daily specials. I had a grilled chicken sandwich with some great onion rings. Most places the thought/picture of the onion rings is way better than the actual presentation. These ones lived up to those. Will go back when I'm in the area to try different items.

  • 4/5 Richard R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great burgers. Great Strami. Awesome fries! This place get it right with the flavor. They can take a lil long sometimes but as long as you're in no rush, it's totally worth it.

  • 1/5 Fredric S. 2 years ago on Google
    Don't get me wrong! I love the food BUT one of my favorite meals more than half the time they won't make but it's on the menu! How hard is it to make country gravy! I look forward every weekend for that most wonderful breakfast and only to be disappointed by being told they did not make the gravy! 5 stars for the wonderful food but 1 star for not being consistent with serving a menu item they advertise. :(
