FOOD: Always Great. Fresh. Good portions. CONSISTENT! SERVICE: Always Great. They're helpful, cordial and good attitudes. AMBIANCE : We all know it's an old spot, but they take care of it, no trash or grossness. Notable: they need to start calling cops on the outside guys directly/closely tracking and approaching customers vehicles/standing at entrance door, for money. This is a safety issue. read more

Everytime I come they are always incredibly nice and quick. I recommend trying their French fries

So this is a small place but it does GET BUSY! The burgers were so juicy, so flavorful and the bun to meat ratio was so good. It has pickles, tomatoes and CHOPPED onion so you can't really take it out. They don't have combos which is not ideal but we made it work. The chili cheese fries HAVE SO MUCH CHEESE and the meat is so tasty. Definitely coming back. Workers could be a bit nicer read more

Best authentic burger place here in town. Fast, reliable, and delicious. Chili cheese fries are really good as well. read more

Johns Burgers used to have more locations around town. Don't see as many of them around anymore though. Dropped by this one on River Blvd. because my co-workers wanted to go here. Ordered myself John's Special which includes a 16oz drink, fries, and burger. The fries and burger tasted fine. Definitely middle of the road average which is A-Okay in my book. I'd definitely return again because it tasted okay and the price was affordable. They were pretty busy that weekday we visited for lunch. Food came out in good time and the service was fine. We did not dine inside the restaurant, but I looked around and the place appeared clean. read more

Burgers were delicious. There's usually a line so you might have to wait. Staff is always nice. There's only indoor seating. They do have a drive thru but that's usually full. Their Food is the reason why it's packed. Must try. read more

I always come here whenever i want a burger. Their burgers, fries, and shakes are always on point when i go. The service is always quick and workers are respectful. I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to try this place out. read more

I've been coming here for years but after I made a big purchase $88.00 and after came out to tell me that they didn't put in my wings and I'll be getting my food cold cause wing take 15-20 min to make? I was like what say that again my food is going to be cold. That's a big no no! read more

Top tier food but there is one drive thru girl that always has an attitude and is disrespectful older lady. Besides that all good. Maybe change your salads from ice berg lettuce to good romaine lettuce. Add some avocado to it. read more

John burgers has good burgers, good food, and the burritos are amazing. I've been coming here for years using the drive-through. However, this last time we went inside because I was a little bit indecisive of what I wanted to eat as I was reviewing the menu. The lady taking my order was pounding her pen on the pad impatiently waiting for me to approach the window to order. That was kind of annoying. However, the food was still delicious. I tried for the first time to hard-shell tacos, and they did not disappoint. read more

Stopped here on our way to Yosemite, food was great and they were super kind, it was 30 minutes before closing time but the cashier let us sit and dine :) read more

My family has been coming here since they opened! Still a family run spot (very kind people) and the quality for the price can't be beat. Their breakfast burritos, fried burritos and chili cheese fries with onion are some of our faves. Their tacos & chicken gyros are definitely slept on! You have to know what to order. Don't waste your time with the regular side of fries--not their best option. Instead, get zucchini or mushrooms with ranch. read more

John's Burgers great service the food really good had the biscuits and gravy so light plenty of sauce great portion sizes

I settled on this for lunch today after running errands all morning, and this was my first time having this burger joint. I've known of this place since I was 11 yrs old. The line in the drive thru was long, so someone came out to get my order. I let them know everyone I work with raves about the burgers, and this was my first time. They suggested the california deluxe that included avocado, bacon, and cheese. I also ordered some fries and a mix of zucchini sticks and mushrooms. The burger is really good. Fresh avocado and bacon was perfectly cooked, not overdone or underdone. The sauce they use for the burger has great flavor. They give you yellow peppers if you ask for them. The zucchini is better than the mushrooms, but the mushrooms were also very fresh, not like most places where they are mushy and very oily. They actually do what you ask for, and I had asked for light salt on my fries, and that's what I got and the fries aren'toily at all. The ranch pairs very well with the fried things. I will definitely hit this spot up for burgers next time I'm in the mood for a good burger. read more

I came to pick up dinner here and ordered 2 johns specials and a large fry and glanced in the bag to be sure there were 2 burgers and 3 fries and closed bag to keep food hot and drove home. I pulled out food and seen that all my fries were over cooked and I called to ask for them to remake my order and they said they would remake the fries only. I then proceeded to explain that I live 10 mins away and my burgers would be cold and soggy being that I drove home 10 mins than back to restaurant 10 mins and wait fir fries and back home 10 mins till I get home to eat and they would not remake my 2 burgers. So I asked for manager to call me and when he did he said that I should check my order next time. Horrible experience!! Never going back read more

My husband and I used to frequent John's burgers, however the last few times we've gone the burgers have missed. We had gone for Father's Day (my husband's pick) and we both got burgers and chili cheese fries. The chili cheese fries were yummy as usual; but the burgers were so dry and tasteless. If we do go again, we would definitely not order any burgers. read more

The food is pretty good, they have a varied selection of items from breakfast to lunch to dinner. The one that was a Taco Bell years ago on river and Columbus is closed to me. A lot of people complain about the " wrong side" drive through . They have a box on a stick to give you your order on the passenger side. Hope you have power windows read more

Upgrading my favorite spot up to five stars just because of their breakfast burritos. I have never had an issue here and my orders are always on point. read more

We got the California special and it had no flavor. Service was ok. Dining area was not very clean.

Love this place! I drive almost 20 mins across town just to eat here! The breakfast is bomb! From burritos, omelettes to their french toast lunch and dinner are great also! Can't go wrong with this place! read more

I haven't been here in years and reading recent reviews was very discouraging to even stop by, but because I had been craving a burger from here I just decided to go. Good thing I was the only one in the drive through. It did take a while for my order to get ready though. Finally, I get my food, and my kids couldn't wait to eat. We drive back home and had the yummiest burgers. I got the ortega burger and a plain cheese burger for my son. He said it was the best burger he's ever ate! Im really glad I went and got that craving out of my system. I hope to go back whenever I'm in town. read more

This is my go to on a weekend that I don't want to cook. Food is always on point... and their zucchini and mushrooms... wooow... my fave with a bucket of their ranch! read more

I've been coming here since I was a kid and the food is still amazing! My favorite burger is the California burgers with fries and a side of ranch. We live on the other side of town now but we still drive all the way over to the east side to pick up some food. No other burger place in town can beat John's burgers on river. The service is always good, I don't think I've ever had an issue here. The only downside is the drive thru is very small so if it's busy you might have to wait on the street which can be kind of sketchy with cars turning but other than that 10/10 read more

Johns Burgers - When you order the patty melt make sure to ask that the patty be thicker that the slice of cheese. - Burgers Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I seriously how does a double bacon cheeseburger turn into a single avocado cheeseburger? And then they asked me to wait until all the cars are done in the Drive-Thru for my food to be made? It's a freaking joke when I spent 15 minutes driving there, another 15 in the Drive-Thru and another 15 on the way home, just to have the food be wrong. At this point, I've spent an hour in traffic and the only thing I've wound up spending 17 bucks on is a soda, fries, and gasoline. How is it that McDonald's gets their burgers correct more often than you do? read more

I am in Love with John's Burgers! The food is amazing, fresh and I don't feel Guilty after demolishing a Collosal burger. That's how fresh the ingredients are. The people that work there are phenomenal, always smiling and super friendly. Also, it's clean Every time I dine in or order. Try anything on their menu, you won't be disappointed read more

To be completely honest I only came here to experience the drive thru. I was told the drive thru is on the wrong side so they use a basket on a pole to give and receive items. I thought that was hilarious so I went to order some fries and it did not disappoint it was the most Peculiar thing ever! Definitely worth going to just see how the little basket works. But make sure no one is sitting in the passenger seat. Fries were good though! read more

They have great food and service and it's very affordable. Best breakfast burrito in town!

Good burgers and good fries! The staff is also nice as well and the cup holder broke sadly. But at least the food was good

One of my favorite burger joints in town, and I was a little disappointed with the service. Came in after church to get a bite to eat for the family. We ordered a chicken strips meal, hot dog, tuna sandwich, and fried burritos. It took the average 7-10 minutes to get our order (made to order), and it all came out to about $18. We made it home to find that the chicken strip meal was not out in our bag. I had to drive back to get the order (not a fresh batch), and they apologized for the mistake, but didn't offer anything for the inconvenience. I wasn't going to impose, and wanted them to do it on their own, but it didn't happen. I would've appreciated a free meal for next time or something. Oh well. for one of my favorite spots to eat. read more

Breakfast burritos are okay, but their burgers are horrible and always cold. Paper thin and even during lunch rush they are cold and taste old. I think they might precook the hamburger patty and keep it "warm" in a broth bath. They are horrible. Onion rings lack flavor and I love french fries, but I won't get them here. We definitely won't be coming back here anymore. The food used to be good and worth the wait. read more

You cannot go wrong with John's Burgers! Their menu is amazing.. from zucchini fries to breakfast burritos, there's something for everyone. It's sure to be a delicious stop any time of day! read more

The service last few times has not been very good, maybe they have a new cook?? I ordered some breakfast chorizo burritos the other day and they were so soaked in grease we could not eat them. It looks like they didn't drain fat after cooking chorizo. Biggest mess I ever had to deal with from take out, the grease was actually dripping from the wrapper. Very disappointing. I called and brought it to the person that answered and asked that she needed to tell cook or manager that , that was not acceptable and I had to throw away food. With todays prices and the drive to F St. It just not worth the time and money. Too bad we loved the burritos and nice big juicy hamburgers . Don't know if I will take another chance anytime soon. read more

I always see this place but never stop. I moved here from Compton the home of the best chili cheese fries lmao. But I'm some real shi.... they're chili cheese fries are some of the best I've had in all of California. Good job!!! Fries wer not soggy by the time I got home. Cheese was melted chili tastes like it was made fresh today. Great job I will definitely be back read more

I love this place! the employees work so hard and they're really respectful. I came here every week!

Longest drive through wait I've ever been in . Ridiculous. Don't call yourself a fast food restaurant.

Ok so first let me start off by saying I used to come here growing up and this and that, let me cut to the chase #.1 the skinny chick who was wearing some type of hat other than a green one actually stuck her head outta the drive thru window just to say" umm not to be nosey but ur kid is asleep in the back and my kid fell asleep wrong and her neck cramped just letting u know!!!" Ummmmm first off u are being nosey when ur looking all in my car and second its non of ur fukn business how my child fell asleep , he was tired fyi and again its non of ur business , second all I ordered was a LARGE FRY with extra seasoning salt and 2 deep fried burritos simple and yet my order took 20 minutes in the drive thru not to mention the supposed cook who I was watching took a butter knife dipped it in the oil to check how much gunk build up was at the bottom of the fryer, and I know she did that because when she took the butter knife out it was at least an inch thick with that gunk and the topper was she then took that same butter knife and stabbed my burritos, not sure why or if it's for pleasure but never in my life of loving food and going to so many different burger joints and other fast food restaurants have I ever witnessed such a horrible act of disrespect, even after I got my food I tried it and my fries where disgusting because they tasted like old oil!!!!..... it's sad to say that this burger place that gets awarded for being such a good food spot is being tarnished by unprofessional employees, not to mention how filthy the place looks on the inside but even worse on the outside!!!! Thanks for charging me 7 dollars for a bag of trash!!!! @ jonh's Burgers get ur act together read more
