We've been relying on John's since we bought a house nearby in 2011; great grill food. Today I ate in and had their Breast of Chicken sandwich and fries: simple, clean, delicious. I was close to having a hypoglycemic meltdown-tantrum, and I remembered I could call ahead and it was ready in the 7min it took to get here. If you are a burger person, be sure not to miss their "Old World" Burger, perfectly seasoned, and I can just hear that line from Pulp Fiction, "That's a tasty burger!" Our standard takeout from here is a Greek Chicken Salad and large order of onion rings: perfect for two. Staff always friendly! If parking fills, you can currently park next door at the empty Amazon Fresh lot. Their specials are always a treat. Come support a neighborhood classic read more

Wish I found this place sooner!! Wow, this is such a gem of a place! My partner and I have been on a good hunt for small diners, hole in the wall, and even local waiters that don't have a lot of marketing. John's Hamburgers is one of them that was never in our radar. Right after a good gym session we wanted to of course eat our calories back because we work out to eat! lol. We were in between a chain restaurant or cooking at home. On our drive toward the restaurant we choose my partner quickly saw John's and asked if we should try it out. I was hesitant at first but we decided to do a quick turn around and try it out. Inside was not what we expected? It seemed so cozy in there with what it seemed to be local residents having dinner there. There was even an amazing place to give food donations!! The prices were reasonable and everything looked amazing, from their breakfast items to their burger combos! I got their sourdough bacon burger and my partner ordered the old world burger. This was one of the best burgers I've ever had, i never order any bun that is outside of the traditional type for burgers and i enjoyed every bite of it. I bit my tongue so bad from eating it and I feel like it's never a coincidence as ai do it all the time when something is beyond amazing, and this was it! read more

I used to love this place, but things keep getting worse. Drove through and pulledu p tot he window. First thing I experience is a child, maybe 5 yo, screeching and running around behind the counter. I was told she worked there, she was a cook. I waited about 6 minutes and the whole time this kid was screaming and running all over the place behind the counter. She even came o over tot the drive-thru window. An employee, mother I guess? was chasing her around the whole time.....when she should have been working. This child should have never been behind the counter tobegin with, much less screaming and running around. Got my burger and left. Got home, first bite, pulled a 6 inch black hair out ofmy mouth. I tried to eat a few more bites but every bite had something hard in the meat. $10 down the drain and a pretty miserable experience. If you need to have y our child at work she should be capable of sitting quietly and should never be running around where food is being prepared. read more

I have reviewed this place before and always enjoy the food. I drive-through and the service is always excellent. I have mentioned that I like that they have daily specials and this past Friday they had chicken enchiladas. The plate was very well prepared with rice and beans and three nicely packed chicken enchiladas. It came with sour cream and a delicious green sauce with cheese. read more

I got a breakfast burrito; it comes with eggs, hash browns and cheese plus I added bacon. It was a good size, quite large actually. It isn't fancy and is a very simple and basic breakfast burrito but I enjoyed it. I'll get it again. I will try it with sausage next time. read more

Me and my dad come here all the time and it's always a reliable spot if you want good burgers.

Ordering the food at the speaker was a delight however, one of the items I ordered was the French toast combo and when I got home I found that I had no syrup in the bag for my French toast. BUMMER. read more

I had the french fries today and they smelled like bleach or some sort of cleaner. Very chemical.

This is a hidden gem! It has something for everyone! I order the chicken fried steak and eggs. With the gravy on the side. Those who follow or regularly read my review when i order my chicken fried steak I order the gravy on the side as I'm always weary about the taste. But this one was yummy! They gave me a lot! Will definitely recommend this spot! read more

Fabulous neighborhood burger joint. Exhaustive menu that covers breakfast, lunch, dinner, with Mexican and Greek specials. Friendly and helpful staff. I had never been here before, but it's community family vibe is strong, and my son and I immediately felt like we belonged here. Great burger and fries. We saw a corned beef and cabbage dinner special. read more

Good neighborhood spot! It's not the fastest fast food (longer than a usual drive thru wait) but they have a lot of variety on their menu and the food is always good. Service is friendly and we have always had a good experience here. My favorites are the Oreo shake, sandwiches, and churro bites. My kids enjoy the hot dog and corn dog. read more

Came here to order breakfast and overwhelmed by the portion control. I order bacon and eggs with country potatoes. They served my food so fast that I didn't finish setting up my coffee. It was very good but didn't finish everything. My recommendation is to share this with someone or if you're hungry then get your own plate. Enjoy read more

This place is one of my old trusty's I always run in for a bowl of soup and garlic bread. They offer a huge menu with tons of selections they also serve breakfast all day long They have daily specials and also have a drive thru The staff here is all friendly and they are always wiping down the tables and booths You go and order at the counter and then they call your number. Despite the drive thru it's not your typical fast food place. So don't be surprised if you have to wait a few minutes If you're lucky, come here when they have their pulled pork sandwich special which I believe is on Fridays Also, come in and bring some food donations! They always have a donation box for the food bank. They used to just have it out during the holidays but they've had it up for a couple months now. They are always so generous here read more

Most of the time this place is good but.... Sometimes you get someone that clearly doesn't like or want to be at their job even though they chose it for themselves!!! I say that meaning. I call in my orders.... If I have to ask where I called... Bad!!! I called in today for lunch. I dialed the # .... "Hello".... "Hello is this johns????" "Yeah" Okay.... I would like to order...." Do people not know how to answer a phone???? Do you really not know how to answer a call properly???? If not why are you not teaching people??? Do you not want to sound and look like a legitimate business? Or do you honestly want to look like morons all the time? read more

Their chicken club sandwich is incredible. I don't understand going to a national chain restaurant when you can go to the gems like John's and get incredible made to order sandwiches at a good price. The fries weee a bit on the salty side but it is the best cut of fries there is. read more

Once upon a time, this Faerie Queen had her stomach on empty and pulled into John's Hamburgers' drive-through. I kept it simple with the intention of inhaling all I could as fast as I could. No, it wasn't pretty. John's burger and fries combo was delicious! Super juicy, flavorful, and the bun was resilient and steadfast - refusing to absorb and become mush-ified (yep, new word). The fries were great! I appreciated the regular cut fry as opposed to the stringy kind. The shake hit the spot. You have to check out the home-cooked menu. Can't wait to try their stew! The end. read more

I took back an undercooked chicken pot pie and asked for a south western chicken sandwich instead! I then asked for a refund for the difference, and he said it was the same price! Clearly not!! the chicken sandwich cost 10.50 and the pie was 13.25!!! Clearly I got bent over! Regular customer I was! Never again!!! The owner ripped me off! I don't care if it's dollars! It's the principle!!! read more

FALSE ADVERTISING I've stopped to eat here a couple of times and the food has been good and the service too! Today I was extremely disappointed. Part of my order included the daily special, chicken pot pie. I asked for mashed potatoes as my side and was told that it only comes with garlic bread. I thought I must have misread the menu on the website and completed my order. When I returned to my table I looked up the menu ( see photo) and saw that the chicken pot pie dinner should include vegetable, bread and a choice of: Mashed potatoes /w gravy * French fries * Onion rings * Fried zucchini * Fresh fruit * Cottage Cheese I brought it up to a different cashier and was told that they don't do that anymore. The owner echoed this response. I replied that this is what was advertised on their website and that they should honor it. They replied that the website "isn't good." Also that they are in the process of changing it. Again I tried to explain that this is what was advertised and would it be possible to add the mashed potatoes. They said yes, but they would charge me. I then proceeded to cancel my order and they provided a refund. This was very frustrating because although they did provide the refund, which they are legally obligated to, I was not reimbursed for the time it took to drive to their restaurant, the gas wasted, and the energy I spent entertaining my 2 year old twins (iykyk). In addition, the prices on the website are different then what they charge in person. I don't have a picture because I wasn't given my receipt back after the refund. read more

The food and old fashioned ice cream parlor inside is outstanding. The the food you never get a bad dish.

Good for the prices. I only got the taco and fried burrito. Taco with 4 stars, fresh and quality ingredients. Fried burrito is closer to 3., clearly a frozen option but again priced accordingly. Not the best anything but good enough for the price! read more

A neighborhood favorite. Lots of options on the menu and a good chance you'll pick one with its own cult following somewhere in Long Beach or Lakewood. Some people love John's for the hamburgers, others swear by the milkshakes. I personally belong to the camp that recognizes just how diabolically good the breakfast burritos are. At $16 for an option with meat these can feel a little steep, but the portions and the quality are well worth the price. Always friendly service and super accommodating. Drive-thru line moves fast. read more

Service is always great but man, i feel like everytime i come to get food here, my order ends up being messed up. Im not one to complain and leave bad reviews but this is becoming a constant issue. Today, i got a double cheeseburger, and it came with no cheese on it. I only realized when i got home and sat down to eat. Its just upsetting. I urge everyone to double check your entire order before leaving with your food. read more

Order a cheeseburger and the cheese not melted . Fries cold . Disappointed. Not as I remembered.

Their Cobb salad is delicious. It has a lot of toppings on it and the blue cheese crumbles are delicious.

You can spend $40 twice a week here for 8 months and they'll still nickel and dime you for ranch so weird

So we haven't been to John's in a few years and the last time it was for breakfast. We arrived at the counter and a gal greeted us with a resting bitch face....we asked for a moment to go over the menu and she sort of rolled her eyes and walked off, my husband said "a smile would be nice" another gal who was also standing near the register (in earshot) looked as if it was a bother to take our order. I understand your drive thru is packed and you've got customers inside as well but you should make EVERY patron feel welcome, it keeps us coming back! ( which I might think twice next time) Even when your busy as hell, a smile goes along way....just sayin' PS food wasn't bad read more

We ordered a patty melt, fries, and a country fried steak. When they brought up the bag. I asked for some ranch for the fries. When I got home I discovered they didn't put in the fries. I called to let them know and asked if they could give them to someone who looked nice. At that moment I looked over at my wife because she had this look of disgust and disappointment on her face. The lady on the phone said, " you're not coming back." At this point I said we would never be going back. She said, "Oh okay." She might have hung up on me-not sure-doesn't really matter because that statement said it all. They don't care and it shows. After the phone call my wife told me that the C.F.S. tasted like fish and the cauliflower smelled like fish. When she got up I snapped a quick photo because it didn't even really look like meat. Place is always packed, but at those prices during these tough times I won't be taking another chance. read more

First time I've been here got breakfast was really good. Chicken fried steak and eggs wasn't that expensive I'd recommend the place.

Johns burgers has it all. Drive thru for when you are in a hurry or eat inside with a comfortable clean atmosphere. They also collect can goods for the Long Beach mission which is really nice to be able to help. I ordered the old world burger which came with a giant slice of fresh tomato grilled onions and a giant beef patty very generous portions with fat steak fries. Cannot finish it all. Super yummy. Great hamburger ! They have home made beef stew I will have to try that next time. Excellent service great food read more

Food is always good! Girl at window polite but..... I went inside to order and the guy was having trouble with my card and was sliding it so aggressively. It was scary! Then he threw out and F-BOMB! Very unprofessional! Just saying! read more

I hate to do this to such an iconic Long Beach spot. The service at the drive thru was friendly and fairly prompt. But for the letdown, my breakfast burrito with chorizo and bacon was possibly the worst breakfast burrito I've ever had. Maybe it was ordering a breakfast burrito for lunch? But it was bland. The ingredients were dry like they'd been sitting out. I felt like I was eating leftover ingredients cooked a day earlier. Nothing tasted fresh. Eggs were dry, bacon was burnt and flavorless, Chorizo no flavor. I didn't get much cheese but again, there was nothing that stood out. Nothing savory or juicy or fresh at all in the burrito. And I was hungry going in. The plus, it was a huge burrito so if you're just looking to fill your stomach with a massive bunch of nothing, then I guess go for it. Thank god I did get a side of salsa verde, that at least added some texture and moistness to the dry overcooked, bland burrito. If I go back I think I'll do the patty melt since it's only $7.50. Overall really disappointed with the breakfast burrito. Sorry. read more

I stopped in this afternoon on my way to Millikan to pick up the kiddos from school and had just enough time for a quick drive thru lunch. I ordered a pastrami sandwich and a medium Dr. Pepper for seventeen bucks. Sadly that isn't the worst I have laid lately. The service in the drive thru was friendly and quick. My subtraction of a star comes from the sandwich. Whole the meat was flavorful the bread was just entirely too much. If you stacked the bread and meat next to each other the bread would easily have been 50% more than the meat. This would not have been so bad if it was something other than a white roll type bread. The flavor just didn't go with the pastrami for me. Based on the service though, I will definitely be back to try some other menu items and will definitely update when I do. read more
