Johnny's Burger

I like burgers. I REALLY like burgers. What I like them most is that there are so many different types of burgers out there: Cajun burgers, Jalapeno burgers, double quarter pounder, 3x3...etc. If you want to try different variation of burgers in one place, I suggest you try Red Robins and get different ones with a bunch of friends and try them, cause how else are you going to try different types of food without hurting your health and your wallet.

Now I can write about the history of burgers.. but I won't do that right now. Instead I will suggest a burger joint only the locals know about, and asians.

Johnny's is a small burger joint owned by Koreans but don't seem like it. Know what I'm talking about? It's those small burger place where the burgers are very filling, the fries are the best, and very cheap. I found Johnny's my freshmen year at Riverside. I wanted to get some burgers but didn't want to go to Diamond Bar to get Colima burger (I'll write about this later). So I did some research and some asking and John Yi, a friend of mine and who has lived in Riverside most of his life, took me to Johnny's. I must say, for those who know what I'm talking about, beats Colima burger out of the water, at least in my opinion. I ordered a cheese burger combo and came out to somewhere around 5-6 dollars including a drink. Now, you know this place is good when it's filled with asians and it's competing against In-N-Out right across the street. Outside, it looks like a normal run-down burger joint, and inside isn't much to look out, but it has a drive-thru and the food is good and cheap, perfect for poor college students. So if you're in Riverside and craving for burgers, instead of carina asada fries at JB's, Johnny's is a must try.

I'll update with the address and pictures as soon as I come back from it tonight.
