Johnny's

Location: Sheppard and Victoria Park

While to the best of our knowledge Johnny's does not offer a homeburger (a fresh ground beef patty), we did feel that any survey of burger joints had to include this iconic restaurant. They have been serving 'hit the spot' food for as long as I can remember and they are definately worth a visit.
Overall Score: 7.7/10

The Run Down:

I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy this burger, infact, as soon as I finished it, and some great fries, despite being stuffed, I considered going back for another. But here's the thing, 1/4 pound for 1/4 pound, I just prefer a fresh ground beef patty. That being said, the flavour was good and it was cooked near to perfect, (cooked through but still moist, char marked, but not burnt). As for the bun, great choice. More a bakery roll than a processed bread feel. Strong enough to hold together with all the fixin's, but not tough. And the fixin's are good; great selection and everything fresh - no lettuce I could see, maybe tomorrow. The restaruant was clean and you can see the grill and prep area are well kept. Friendly and fast staff round out an enjoyable comfort food experience.
