I finally got a chance to try out Johnson’s. I was NOT disappointed! I got the cheeseburger all the way, and a side of fried okra. The total was just under $10.

This place serves one of the largest hamburgers I have ever seen; the kind you need several napkins to eat. It is almost impossible to take a bite of the thing because it is so thick. The food is very good simple diner food. Hamburgers, fries, fried okra, hotdog with chili, some bbq…that type of thing. It is one of those nondescript places on the side of the road that I would never have gone to without someone telling me that I should. As I entered I felt like I had walked into a different era. It is a small cash only diner with one table and a bar with stools inside. The counter is filled with large jars of pickled products from eggs to pigs feet; and drinks and ice are served from coolers on the side. A big fan keeps the place cool and orders are written down on a slip of paper and taken to the back. It is not ‘fast food’ it took about twenty minutes for our order to cook, but the people were friendly as we waited. It was interesting and I am sure we will return.

This is the top hole in the wall place in Columbia! Mainly take but there is a bar (not drinks) and a table. There are about 10-15 people waiting on their meals so that all seats are about taken. They have a fantastic homemade single burger that your mouth is not big enough to take the first bite. Really great tasting and lots of toppings. I foolishly ordered the onion rings and thus was overwhelmed by the food. The onion rings, I don’t believe were homemade, were excellent without dripping in grease. In total I ordered a cheeseburger, onion rings, slaw is included and a bottled water plus a bottled sprite. Total bill including tax was $10.10. You ain’t going to beat that price!!! I will be back. BTW, that is Johnson in a picture and he was extremely friendly!

A very low-key location with great burgers, fish, & salads. Portions are large, but fairly priced. This is a cash only business. I’ve never ate in, but will drive 40 mins roundtrip for it. There hours change daily.

STRETCH MARKS ON YOUR MOUTH!! That’s what you might get from eating this massive burger! I couldn’t finish mine and hubs struggled to finish his. Excellent service, food, and price! A cheeseburger with onion rings, a hamburger with onion rings, and two drinks totaled less than $20! Plus, we received a small side of coleslaw. These are some of the tastiest onion rings I’ve ever had in my life—crispy on the outside and perfect on the inside! The place is very rustic and small, but there is a large, round, glass-topped table that seats 6, and there is a bar with about 3 or 4 seats. It took me back to my childhood of a corner store with a restaurant. We took ours to go and ate at a park about 5 minutes away. Our food was still hot! Nice variety of drinks (bottled and canned) and a few grocery staples: seafood breading, pickles, pickled eggs and pig feet, etcetera. Yes—you read correctly—pickled eggs AND pickled pig feet! The owner is awesome—very personable, and our food was cooked to perfection. Don’t say I didn’t warn you about the potential stretch marks around your mouth bc this burger is BIG! Use your cocoa butter or Vaseline! Forgot to take a pic before digging in, but you can see it’s medium cooked—the way a burger should be! We shall return
