John's Hamburgers — Restaurant in Long Beach

Mos def a fan of onion rings that are "hand made" and saw that this establishment advertises such. Been planning to check the burger too, because I am also a fan of burgers and thought that the charbroiled situation and high reviews would bear out a schlep and patronage. Went today. Place was bumpin and the drive thru was full--good signs. Ordered up a double cheeseburger and onion rings which added up to mere pennies from $20!!! and no drink!!! Onion rings were stiff, kinda stale and lacking any real flavor at all. Texture was strongest attribute and presented as kinda cardboardish. Not gratifying. Burger meat was greasy, texture also kinda weird and the char was identifiable but too charcoal-y and stronger than the burger or the seasoning. Veggies on the burger were sad and mushy. I would put this combo on the 7-11/free school lunch metric. Atmosphere was Bflat. I ate seven hours ago and I am still reliving the errant flavors in burps as well as a general not feeling super good tummy reality. Low quality food does this. The register employee seemed like maybe at work was not the place she wanted to be. Reasonable. Twenty dollars all told? Unreasonable. One hit is all John's gets from me because in America your only real "vote" is where you spend your...

Unexpectedly good! Although my daughter loves John's cheese burger, asada fries & French fries, when I stopped late one afternoon, I ordered a grilled cheese on sourdough bread sandwich with avocado & tomato, an order of onion rings, an order of deep fried zucchini & a large drink. Wow! The sandwich was terrific, probably the best fast food sandwich I've had in years. Perfectly golden toasted bread & no scimping on ingredients. Ample cheese, large slice of beefsteak tomato & probably 1/2 an avocado complimented the real cheese between the slices of bread. Yummy. The onion rings & zucchini were similarly excellent. Each was a large sized portion, freshly made, home style breading & very hot. Tasty. This is what you always hope fast food will taste like. Nothing disappointed me. Great value for the price. $$ Friendly employees, easy to locate on Spring near Palo Verde, clean, family run business with great food. I will...

We went through the drive-thru and got lentil soup. We specifically asked if there was ham in it and were told no. Got home and there are huge chunks of ham in it. We do not eat ham. I called and reported this. I asked for a refund. It's late and the restaurant is closing in 15 minutes so we won't be going back tonight. I have a busy day tomorrow. Maybe we'll be able to get back this weekend. Most places take your name down and when you come back in with the receipt give you a refund. We have to bring the soup back. So I have to put the food in my refrigerator and save it until I make it back there. I personally will not go back after I get my refund. The food isn't that great and it's gotten expensive. 16.75 for a hamburger steak dinner with onion rings which is basically ground meat with some mushrooms and onions on...
