Jonathan Gold-style review:
At Johnson's Drive-In in Siler City, diners can expect classic American cuisine served up in a nostalgic setting. The establishment has been around since 1946 and is a true trip back in time. The burgers are made to order and have been rated the best in NC by Our State magazine. The cheeseburgers are a must-try, featuring a thick piece of melted Velveeta cheese that perfectly complements the fresh meat patty. The hotdogs are also a standout, with a traditional NC chili that will satisfy any craving.
The ambiance at Johnson's Drive-In is laid-back and casual, with no indoor dining available at the moment due to COVID-19 restrictions. However, diners can still enjoy their meal in their car or at a nearby park. The interior design is reminiscent of a bygone era, with a simple and unassuming decor that adds to the charm of the place.
Prices at this establishment are reasonable, making it a great value for the quality of food served. The location is easily accessible and worth the drive for anyone looking for a taste of authentic American cuisine.
Special features include the option to order online ahead of time to avoid the wait and the ability to add toppings such as chili, slaw, and onions to your burger or hotdog. Soft drink options include Cheerwine, a regional favorite, and tea that is freshly brewed and not overly sweet.
Overall, Johnson's Drive-In is a must-visit eatery for anyone looking for a taste of classic American cuisine in a nostalgic setting.

Established in 1946, Johnson's Drive-In is a trip back in time. Their hamburgers were rated by Our State magazine as the best in NC. The burgers are prepared to order so they are really fresh (take that Wendy's!). This ain't fast food. They are going to prepare your burger for you and do it right. Expect to wait about twenty minutes while they work their magic. The burgers are a decent size though not huge. Additions include lettuce, tomato, and cheese. Johnson's uses Velveta which is a nice, melty, touch. Johnson's hotdogs are a traditional NC dog featuring a very nice chili. Their fries are large and a throw back to earlier times. They also offer cheese dogs (all cheese, no dog) and grilled cheese sandwiches. Prices are pretty decent and given the quality of the food, a good value. Currently, Johnson's is take out only: No dining inside. Treat yourself to a great burger made the way things done before "fast food".
