Their dogs are 12" and All Angus Beef. It was served in a 12" bun that was lightly toasted. They have a variety of Specialty Dogs to choose from, but I went with a plain dog with onion & relish. Once the dog arrived at my table, I added, mustard and ketchup. Yes, I like ketchup on my hot dogs. The dog came with a side of crispy fries and the portion was just the right size of a serving. My server was the same one I have had numerous times for burgers. He has always been friendly and attentive. Being a single diner, he gave me the same attention that he was giving to his tables of 2 and 4. If you're a game of chance person, they've got several video gaming machines for you to play. The ambiance is plain and simple, nothing fancy. You're here for burgers and dogs and that is what you'll enjoy.

Fried or Grilled? I use to be a big fan of their Famous Fried Pork Tenderloin Sandwich, until I…read moretried it Grilled. A while back when I went in for my regular fix of a Pork Tenderloin Sandwich, the waitress asked me if I ever tried the grilled. When I said, no, she told me I had to give it a try. So, I did and now it is my way of ordering a Pork Tenderloin Sandwich. The piece of grilled meat is as big as the fried. It hangs off the bun. All you need to add is some white onion, pickles and lettuce. Some add a tomato, but that's not my thing. Also, just like when I enjoy a fried Pork Tenderloin, I upgrade to fries. Chips just don't do it for me. The service is always top notch. The ladies working are always so friendly. They make everyone feel comfortable while dining. Jimmy taught his staff well. I miss him always being there, but the ladies are making sure his legacy lives on. Another big plus when you come to, Johnsons Corner is the other patrons.It truly is a neighborhood bar. I was dining alone at a hightop and I ended up having a conversation with someone sitting at the bar and another hightop. We shared some good laughs. That's a small-town dive bar at its best.

So saddens me to write this…read more.. Very disappointed in Johnson's Special Salad. Have had this numerous times over the years - admittedly not too recently until tonight. Awful. Sorry but I have to say it. I'd read a similar review before I ordered but I knew JCorners and I thought I'd give them the benefit of the doubt. Nope. $17 after tax and tip - for just a salad and it has NO meat. ONE anchovy slice. Literally ONE black olive ... a sprinkling of cheese. And a whole lot of [admittedly fresh] lettuce and croutons. Was so looking forward to this salad. Very sad & disappointed in an Alton staple business. The other reviewer had pretty much the exact same experience with the exact same order and said her waitress (mine was a to-go order) blamed it on a new chef. But the chef can't be "new" for long. And making a salad is pretty darn basic cooking-101. Doubt I'll be back. Jimmy would be so disappointed. May he rest in peace

I've been wanting to try this place, because I am indeed a wing snob. Traditional bone-in only…read more(IYKYK) the other is just glorified chicken strips with sauce. I ordered online and picked up my order to-go. The good news is the wings were ready quickly and also super crispy which is always pleasant and what you want out of a wing. The slightly bad news is the wings are *very* lightly sauced. There was an option to pay an extra 0.50 for extra sauce, but I decided to see what their baseline was since it was my first time ordering. In the future, if you like a sauced wing at all, I would pay the extra. I got the buffalo (one flame symbol) and the Nashville Hot (three flame symbols) which I felt was accurate. The buffalo was not really hot at all, just the buffalo-flavored sauce and the Nashville Hot was warm enough to leave your lips a little tingly, but not so hot that you couldn't enjoy the flavor. My interaction with the staff was brief but pleasant. I would love to come back and try their loaded fries which look delicious, but didn't trust I could get them home before they got cold and soggy. So next time I'm there for dine-in, I'll give those a try. If you're a wing snob, it's worth a visit!

I ordered the catfish with green beans and a cup of Vegetable Beef Barley soup, for which I tasted an unknown spice that did not suit my palate well.

Overall, we enjoyed a delicious hot meal with very friendly and accommodating employees! It's worth the stop!! P.S. Their iced tea was delicious and strong!

Location is not prime. It's off the beaten path, but still easily accessible…read more The staff is still working on speed, but the quality of the product they put out is good. Just be patient and you'll enjoy your sandwich. I went on June 3rd and it was still packed with customers checking out the new sandwich shop in the Alton area. I'm a Coke man, so I was disappointed that Jersey Mike's a Pepsi restaurant. However, seeing that they serve Miss Vickie's potato chips, totally made up for serving Pepsi. My sandwich of choice was, Mike's Famous Philly. I made mine a combo with, Miss Vickie's Jalapeño Baked Chips and a Diet Pepsi. The Philly had tender steak with grilled onions, peppers and white cheddar cheese. It was one tasty, cheesesteak. I would easily order it again and again. This was my first time eating at a Jersey Mike's and I can easily say, it is levels above, Subway and Jimmy John's. So if you're craving a hearty sub sandwich, go to JMS.

Afterwards my friend & I like to walk around and look at their store, I always forget they have that but it's a nice touch!

Ordered a barrel burger & a float, separated (wanted just the ice cream) to go…read more Burger had nothing but cheese on it and the ice cream portion of the float was ice cream adjacent & melted, had soda in it but was like strained out? And the cup of soda was beyond stale and flat. Gross. Went inside for a remake and idk if they don't make the floats to order or what but was told that the melted ice cream adjacent substance that had flat soda in it was the best they could do. I requested a refund & the child I was speaking to ran away into the kitchen to apparently fetch a very rude female manager. Partner came in with their burger to get the lettuce, tomato and onion that's supposed to be on it and just then the manager blows past us, does not acknowledge us, says "where am I going?" Goes behind the counter and proceeds to try to shove 7$ from the register at us for the "float" at which point my partners like I don't even want this burger so I said well hold on, we now need a full refund. So 45 minutes in total wasted and no full bellies to show for it after a day of travel. For being such a supposed great stop for travelers this company sucks. This was my last attempt at eating at Cracker Barrel- I had issues before at other locations and had stopped patronizing them however tonight we are traveling for work and it sounded like a decent choice. Looks like the Taco Bell next door gets my money.
