First time to try this location of Johnnie's. The menu and quality were on par with other locations. The dining area is very spacious, so it was great for our large group. The burgers are pretty good, but after all these years, I really wish they would get a better cheese to go on them. I have always thought their cheese has a very processed taste. For me, the star is always the onion rings, which are the best in the business. I will continue to go to Johnnie's just for the rings! read more

The cheeseburgers here are delicious. I don't like the fries. Onion rings are excellent. The prices are ridiculously high. Service has always been decent. read more

When we pulled up to this location, there was no one in line ahead of us. We did end up ordering $70 worth of food when I asked for ketchup and fries sauce I was told $.55 for each fry sauce and they gave me two ketchup that had barely the bottom half even filled with product. How is a person to use that tiny little bit of ketchup for four sandwich sandwiches and fries... $70 worth of food and you get no dip?? The kids meal was good good as my daughter ate it all. The Frankenberger while different tasted great. The chicken fried chicken sandwich was amazing. It was a little dry, but luckily I ate it at the house so I could add my own condiments. We weren't so much a fan of the Johnny Fry sauce, would much recommend using your own ketchup and mayo to create a better flavor. We will definitely be thinking twice before making our next trip. read more

I ordered on the website while we were driving to the restaurant. (5 minutes before getting there) The food was cold when I received it. The service was not great. I used to love Johnnie's but now it's not so good. read more

I ordered a kid's meal for myself- grilled cheese with fries, a soda and onion rings. I was not thrilled with the grilled cheese but was told the burger is what you should get. The place itself was spacious with plenty of seating- even a private room in the back. The servers were helpful, friendly and efficient. Will come back to try the burger and hopefully have a better review! read more

The thing about this business, they always say made to order I went through this location little over a week ago got the number one sauce on the side they charged me seven dollars got home so was hot. You couldn't even smell the burgers cooking and usually when they are charbroiling their burgers, you can always smell it so I went back this week. Got the same thing paid a dollar more get home the buns not warm. The meat is not warm but yet they tell you it's made to order no way I think this will be my last trip which is unfortunate because I just really love going there. I used to really love their food now big letdown. read more

At the Edmond location I ordered a chili cheese frankfurter. The menu says it is $7.14. However, when I get my receipt they charged me $9.90. Manager claims that you have to pay extra for the chili and the cheese. If that's the case then put that on the menu and the receipt and have the courtesy to advise the customer of that. Been going there since it opened and have never paid extra for it. Will never eat there again. This is a form of false advertising. Manager claimed it has always been this way That is b.s. read more

I ate at Johnnys Burger today. I had the Chili cheeseburger added small onion rings and small fries. My burger was dry with little flavor. The French fries looked and tasted like they had been sitting out all day. Very greasy and barely cooked. I had asked for crispy fries. I didn't eat them. I don't recommend the fries or the burger. Also, their prices are to high for what they serve I can't really recommend Johnny's until they make some changes. read more

Onion rings are always good. Service is almost always quick. The chili cheese burger is a favorite.

Absolutely amazing! Johnnies never disappoints, the food is filling and the atmosphere is clean and comfortable. The theta burger is one of the most comforting burgers on the menu, i also greatly enjoy the vegetable soup and corn bread. 5 stars Thank you. read more

I lived in OKC much of the '90s and loved Johnnie's .. moved back east around '96. I took my wife to OKC a couple weeks ago and remembered Johnnies but didn't know if my memory was exaggerated .. not at all. BETTER than I remember. Got the Caesar Burger and Onion Rings .. life changing LOL. read more

The food is delicious, and the service was quick even though they were busy. The restaurant is clean every time we come.There is also a lot of open space. read more

Johnnie's Charcoal Broiler is an Oklahoma institution as they are fast food meets fast casual restaurant, as they serve up some solid charbroiled burgers, in addition to sandwiches, chicken entrées and salads. What brought me here on weeknight evening for dinner was when I was visiting the area with family who live in the area and we were looking for a quick place to eat that would be affordable as well, and as we drove around one of my hosts suggested that we go to Johnnie's Charcoal Broiler and I was agreeable to try something new. Johnnie's Charcoal Broiler has been an Oklahoma City institution for over fifty years now, with five locations in the metropolitan area. What makes them so successful and unique is that their burgers are cooked to order, charbroiled style of course, topped with your choice of fresh vegetables such as iceberg lettuce, tomatoes and diced onions, and if you order their signature cheeseburger they actually top your burger with shredded cheese! The exterior of the location of Johnnie's Charcoal Broiler in Edmond where we dined is a little innocuous, as they are all brick clad with very little in terms of windows, inside it's brightly lit and clean as you enter they have you wait behind an entry barrier and view their menu which is now shown on flat panel television screens until it's your turn to order at their counter. It's all fast casual here at Johnnie's Charcoal Broiler, as you order they give you a number and they call it out when your order is ready for pickup. The menu at Johnnie's Charcoal Broiler is separated into categories including Burgers & Sandwiches, Grilled & Deli Favorites, Platters & Plates, Sides, Chili & Soups, Salads, Drinks and Desserts. Of course I came for their Classic Cheeseburger which is listed as number 8, which comes with their "extras" at no charge including lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, grilled onions, mustard, mayo, ketchup and of course Johnnie's sauce. We also decided to all share in an order of their Onion Rings, which are homemade daily. Others in our party ordered their French Fries with Cheese, Chicken Fried Chicken Platter served with their option of French Fries, and a slice of their Banana Cream Pie. It didn't take too long for our order to come out and our number to be called. As I found my burger nicely handcrafted and evenly charred thanks to it being charcoal grilled instead of on a flat top grill, which I would assume also meant that most of the grease from cooking it fell by the wayside too. Their onion rings are breaded which makes them unique when being served in a fast food setting. But overall, I was pleasantly surprised as the food was not only tasty but affordable, as we came for their signature burgers and we were not disappointed. The fact that they also serve various menu items like chicken, both fried and grilled, and a wide variety of salads only proves that Johnnie's Charcoal Broiler has adapted with the times, and we should all be appreciative of this fact. On the day we went, they were hosting a private birthday party in their small room, so Johnnie's Charcoal Broiler is clearly a local favorite for simply hanging out in a clean and familiar place. I like that they also serve up homemade pie slices, which gives them a real diner feel, reminiscent of my own local institution back in California called Nation's Giant Hamburgers. I'm partial to them and will now be partial to Johnnie's Charcoal Broiler whenever I visit family in Edmond, as this place clearly holds special memories for all who have visited. read more

Any time that I'm in Edmond I have to go here and have a chili cheese frankfurter, excellent! I understand that the burgers are wonderful as well, but that is for the rest of my party to try out! Service is very fast and dining area is clean and neat. read more

Johnnie's is the best. Charcoal burgers, shredded American cheese, theta sauce and the best onion rings around. I have been eating at Johnnie's for 40 years. read more

The manager there is horrendous. Takes no accountability- they serve raw burgers. That he claims are medium

This place is overpriced. A hamburger costs $7+ and that's in Oklahoma where I am visiting for an extended time. And if you just want to burger patty because you don't eat wheat they still charge you $7 for the Patty. Most fast food places will not do that they will just charge you for the Patty. I just get the feeling this place doesn't really care. I actually got the Patty for my dog I had a taste of it and it was pretty good but not worth the price at all. The person didn't ask their manager they didn't do anything they just said no it's the same exact price. Maybe that's a small thing to complain about but considering that people will do that if you're not able to eat these things I just think that they should at least take a couple of bucks off. Just my two cents read more

A family trip to Oklahoma isn't quite the same without our first meal consisting of Theta burgers, mountains of their delicious onion rings and their perfect fries!! Johnnie's never go away read more

Johnnie's Charcoal Broiler - Theta burgers and fries - Burgers Near Me - Edmond, Oklahoma

This burger spot is the tale of two burgers. This was my first time trying the Oklahoma staples, the Theta and Caesar Burgers. I will say, considering the smaller size and fast-food quality of burgers, they could be a buck or so cheaper. The contrasting flavors of the heavily-dressed Caesar salad with the dark char of the flame-broiled patty went wonderfully together. I was so surprised, it worked! I am a fan. But as for the Theta burger?? Ooo, we could not even finish it. Not one of us in the car liked their "famous" hickory sauce. It left no beefy flavor whatsoever. And the barely-melted shredded cheese gave it an odd texture. Not good at all imo. I don't get the shredded cheese gimmick at Johnny's. I like my cheese ooey-gooey, melty, oozy. This was quite the opposite of that. Service was fast and friendly. And it looked super clean inside. But with Carl's Jr right next door with a comparably tasty and cheaper char-broiled burger, I doubt I will stop in at Johnny's too often. But I still added an extra star for introducing me to that lovely Caesar burger. read more

One of the oldest Hambuger restaurants in Oklahoma. Not just Hamburgers. The offer other products to eat as well. I don't think you'll find anything less than a quality meal with Johnnie's. Johnie got his start at the Split T in OKC on north Western back in its day. He knew how to make a great burger then and has pretty much carried on with doing the same in his own restaurants. His son manages these restaurants now, and Rick does a good job of it. The menu for sandwiches is bountiful and plenty. They don't skimp on quality or portions. They are known for some awesome onion rings as well. Desserts are great. Service is top notch and I'm sure you'll love their food. I like the Johnnie's Burger and the Theta Burger. Theta Burgers are not a common burger on many places menus but believe me. It is a premium quality tasting burger. You'll need just a few napkins. read more

Hands down an Oklahoma staple when it comes to good ol dine in fast food/casual dining. This place serves up some of the biggest hamburgers and fries combos I've seen lately. Sure maybe I live in a small world but this place rocks! Got their bacon cheese burger with fries and a slice of cheesecake cause I had worked up an appetite! I've been full for 2 days lol. There's just something unique about the Edmond location haha gotta love it. Check 'em out they'll be sure to leave ya happy! read more

I ordered an old fashioned hamburger with johnny's sauce and because I like bbq sauce, I ordered extra sauce on it. I swear it was marinara sauce! The texture and the taste both were marinara sauce!!! The onion rings were great, best I've had in a while but the burger was definitely not worth the money. read more

I have eaten at Johnnie's for over 20 years. I can honestly say that the quality of the food is not as good. The service is even worse, especially the drive through. The last three times when I've gotten home my order was wrong. Johnnie's let's get back to where you used to be. I miss the old Johnnie's read more

The food here is great! I have been a customer since the late 70's. The onion rings are the best, the burgers are too!

tonight was my went to the drive-through ordered the original large fry and drink $19.73 when I got home four minutes away I opened up the ugliest burger ace and lettuce all over the place soggy bun cheese not melted even thow I requested it melted not was I was thinking for a 20$ meal no pride in the work the food was thrown together won't be going back read more

Service is terrible- staff is stand-off about their mistakes - prices entirely too high for this crap. Will never come here agian read more

Johnnie's Charcoal Burger is one of my recent cravings. The sauce is TO DIE FOR! I wish I knew how to make it because it shows up in my dreams. I could eat it with a spoon and I'd love my burger to drown in it. My husband and I recently started frequenting this place because they have wonderful deals on their app and we love deals. They have fantastic burgers and delicious pie and tea. Their pie slices are huge! Their French fries are good, nothing special but the serving size is very generous! We love to eat them with their house ranch! I would have never thought I would love shredded American cheese on a burger so much! I also love that you can add grilled onions for free! I've also had their onion rings and was unfortunately disappointed in the flavoessness of them. We will be back many times for these amazing burgers right up the street from our house! Another reason to support Johnnie's is that they gave nurses free drinks for a month a while back which is so amazing! read more

Always a good burger. Love the big shredded cheese they have and their onion rings. Open flame burgers are the best.

One of our all time favorites! Great burgers, frankfurters, and pie! Staff is always friendly. They have the best Ranch dressing! read more

Stopped by for the first time in the area and was a bit sketched by the reviews. Being in the industry and knowing "some people just take their bad days out on everything" first off..... haven't seen the people from the bad reviews but Ilya took care of us with the best attitude and spunk. Got our big bag of hangover food and all of it was perfectly wrapped up how it should be.. Onion rings are bomb and they have IBC root beer. Go get some food from Ilya and have yourself a fully belly good day read more

I grew up in Edmond and the last time I visited Johnnie's was back in HIGH SCHOOL!! (which was only a few years ago...wink wink) I'm happy to see this place is still a staple in Edmond and just as busy as I remember it being back then. The set up hasn't changed at all, but the restaurant looks well maintained and clean. The burgers are delicious and, with such a lengthy menu, you're sure to find one that tickles your fancy. We opted for the cheeseburger (theta style) and, while the Johnnie's sauce is yummy, it makes for a very messy burger so next time I'll probably just opt for the regular cheeseburger. The fries are a good addition to any meal, and large portion so perfect for sharing. While the onion rings look super appetizing, they are a bit bland...so make sure you get some ketchup or BBQ sauce for dipping. I was surprised to see they even have a few salad options. My dad had a grilled chicken salad and it looked decent (but if you're going to Johnnie's, a burger is DEFINITELY the way to go!) read more

Ordered two grilled chicken breast pro plates. The chicken breasts were smaller than 4 oz and severely overcooked, Like they were cooked this morning or yesterday. Just awful!! Do better Johnnies!!!! This is pathetic. read more

First: I have Celiac Disease and it's hard finding a restaurant that understands this illness. The Manager here greeted me with a smile and was so sweet. He understood the importance of changing gloves, gluten free bread and even added to my telling him that I had Celiac, "Our fries are fried in a dedicated fryer". Second: I came to dinner thirty minutes before their closing time and all the employees didn't seem to mind and was friendly. I worked at a restaurant for years and remember that feeling when people would come in right before closing. Tonight is my second visit here in one week, because of these aforementioned reasons. Brian was the manager who understood me and my needs. Third: I am grateful for him and this place, Johnny's Charcoal Broiler. read more

Johnnie's Charcoal Broiler - Burgers Near Me - Edmond, Oklahoma

I ordered a large onion ring and the man taking the orders told me "noo you want a small" then proceeded to ask me if I was eating it all by myself and if I was really sure I wanted a large. My boyfriend who ordered right before me had zero trouble ordering a large and didn't have someone trying to dictate his order. I feel I was targeted because I'm a woman it really disappointed me because johnnies is one of my favorite restaurants I never thought I'd be disrespected like this there. read more

Bun was stale. Some clotted cheese sauce instead of a piece of cheese on the cheeseburger. Onion rings tasted like flour. Chips had too much lawry's seasoning. This was my second time trying something here and even less impressive tonight. read more

I am forced to write a review on this because I am seeing the stars being so low and I want people to know that if they are not from here they should go here... it's an awesome burger place and it's unlike most burger place don't look at the stars!!! this place is really good read more

Meh is right. Sad little Johnnie's. Most disappointing menu item: onion rings. These were uninspiringly breaded with plain white flour, the inner-most layer of which still remained uncooked. Raw white flour-coated onion slices. Yuck. Dumbest menu item: #19, the bacon chesseburger. What culinary Einstein though this one up? Shreds of unmelted american "cheddar" fall out of the sandwich each time you take a bite. Who uses cold shredded cheese on a burger? This is a really dumb burger concept. Glimmer of hope item: french fries. The fries were the best part of the meal, but still, there's not much to get excited about here. Crispy yes, but not even salted. Plain shoestrings browned in veggie oil. Just add salt and hope for the best. Full disclosure: I did eat my entire burger because I had been on a forced hunger strike for 19 hours after Thanksgiving and I was starving. The people in my family get excited about Johnnie's. It is one of their favorite places. It's not one of mine. read more

Super thankful I read the review that said this was a local staple. I'm in town for work and decided to give it a shot. The Theta burger was great and I got the small cheese fries which were wonderful. It was so much food it lasted for two meals for me. Ranch was the good kind too like everyone said. I will definitely be going back. read more
