Absolutely divine!!! Went for mother's day weekend with my mom,daughter and sister, we waited a short amount of time so my mother could sit in Elvis's booth. It was definitely worth waiting. It made mom so happy ? and the food was delicious. We had the burgers and my daughter also got the dough burger which she said was the best. The cheese sticks were the best we ever had. My mom and daughter had shakes and pie as well, and my mom said the food was just like the diner food she remembers when she was growing up. Everyone was super friendly. You definitely won't be disappointed if you take a trip here.

Johnny's drive in. Old school, hometown, good food. Burgers got that real flavor to them. Not the sonic kind of bland tasteless meat. Fries usually good but trying to get a little more mileage out of the grease is always a bummer. Dark colored fries is the tell tale. There is a difference between overcooked and used oil that you notice after years in the business. Hopefully someone will catch it and then I've got nothing but high praise for this spot. Wait a second, let's not forget customer service. These guys "run" to your car, have a smile on their face, and use word phrases like "yes sir". I thought this kind of service had vanished from the earth!

Food and atmosphere were great. Friendly staff too. There is even the booth Elvis sat at when he ate there. They put a brass plate up for Elvis's booth. Prices are very reasonable. It is a cash only place but worth the stop.

Can't go inside after 3 pm. I wanted to get pictures because it was listed on the papers saying that Elvis had a booth here and used to drink milkshakes here. The teenager that came out took my phone and got pictures for me. Really appreciated that!! Also, delicious milkshakes.

Only blocks from the Elvis House, and said to be a place visited by Elvis, Johnnie’s is worth a visit if you are around. The place is very small and very old and eating here makes you feel like you are back in the 50’s since the entire place feels like an antique! Elvis memorabilia line the walls in the very small inside eating area (there are some places outside). You come here for either the BBQ (meat plate served with two sides and toast) or you get the Dough Burger although there are a few other options. The food was good and the distinctive character of this place made eating here a unique experience.

My husband & I really enjoyed the food here, very laid back atmosphere. Would recommend ?

Best cheeseburger I ever had - still get cravings!

Great nostalgic place for good burgers and fries. It was opened later than most places and close to our motel and local attractions.

Cash only! A good place to stop by if you are going to Elvis' birthplace. The funnel cake fries is good. They are closed for inside dining because of Covid and being short-staffed so we didn't get to seat at Elvis' booth but the lady that worked there let us take pics. The doughburger is just that-made of dough. So good to try but don't make a meal out of it.

Historical!! Cheap prices. Elvis Historical!!
