My Home NC: Johnson's Burgers

- It's been recognized nationally as the best burger in North Carolina, but you won't find this quality beef in the big city - it's in Siler City. In her new series My Home NC, Heather Burgiss takes us behind the lunch counter at Johnson's Burgers and shows us why people drive sometimes hours out of the way for a taste of cheeseburger heaven and a chance to sit a spell at this family-owned Siler City tradition since 1946.
Back in 1976 I was working at Burlington Coca Cola. I got a call " take the spare truck with a load of Cokes to Siler City. Wound up staying there just about a year. Got to know Mr. & Mrs. Johnson, when I went every week to deliver a couple of 5 gallon syrup cans. He would make me a burger just about every time I went. I try to make a few trips a year now when I can . They are probably the best burgers in N.C.
Love going to places like this. Got to get here to review this place.
Did you get there?
It's been 3 years ago dude!!
I am a local from Pittsboro and I do LOVE their cheeseburgers.. the staff are friendly.. however the locals that eat there can be a little rude and look at you sideways when you walk in and they notice you not being a regular. we are not regulars due to the patrons that eat there NOT due to their food and staff... We would get take out from there more if their hours were longer!! wish they had a place in pittsboro like this one! then maybe I could sit down and eat with my local pittsboro crew and not get the sideways looks or hear some of their comments.. lol but yes you MUST MUST MUST try their food! delish!! (aydia is not posting this though her aunt is I could not figure out how to change the name lol)
I live in NC. Every kind of human being you can think of lives and works here happily.
I want to go to this place!
Carolyn that is just way to cool.
No Coloreds Allowed still? Huh?
coloreds are allowed but not assholes...so i guess youre not allowed...
Not from anywhere near there. Made a point to stop in on a trip due to hearing about it from a friend. I get what people are saying about the local glare, but who above 7 yrs old gives a rip. Every small community has jackasses...I just enjoyed my burger and smiled while grease ran down my chin. The burger, it was good, but certainly to each his own as I definitely don't consider it the best. It's a lot like art, music. Theatre, cars etc, just a matter of taste. I kinda get a high being the non-local who "dares" go to a greasy old burger joint that I don't live within 3 miles of! The outrage! Pfft

Not saying your burgers aren't good but not Velveeta cheese hoop cheese I can see but to each his own
sounds about white
Velveeta is NOT cheese.
Didn't see not ONE Black person . That should tell you a lot
Extinct in the Confederate srates5
I thought it was just me.
Sure.. no chicken. N’ waffles 🧇
@@edwinrodeoNo, I sure it’s because it has been communicated that their business isn’t welcomed.
this place is famous for being racist in my town
Fr 😂
Oh please….
😂😂😂😂💀
But you don't let Hispanic in
Sir, they'll let anybody in that wants a great meal, and has money to pay for it. These are some of the nicest folks that you'll ever meet. So, give em a try. Trust me, after you're done with your meal you won't regret it.
Its not that they don't let Hispanics in. I think it mostly the other costumers if an Hispanic walked in they would give them a good stare. But hopefully this changes that way they have even more customers.
Playing the victim card over a burger? Yeah, I'm sure he hates taking your money.
Southern Skeptic i never understood how racist white folks have so much to say about something they will never understand and don’t want to understand. I think folks just want to give everyone a full picture of what you are getting yourself into if you are Black or Latin instead of walking in blindly thinking it’s your typical restaurant where most people could care less what you look like
As a Hispanic, me and my Hispanic friends, Hispanic ppl at my high school, and Just Hispanic ppl in Siler City can confirmed this lol
This should be called the segregation burger. Would I have to order mine through a window in the back?
I always pass this place and I can’t help but cringe. I hope this place closes down it’s so racist. Don’t belive me? Try to find a single black or Hispanic person here
blacks and hispanics are racist against honkey hamburger joints....
Velvetta is not a good cheeseburger!
Prefer South Carolina.....just saying
This is absolutely NOT the best burger in NC. It does not even come close. The one time I visited this place my burgers were burned up, the tomatoes were yellow, and the buns were stale. Actually this place rates as one of the WORST burgers in NC. Don't waste your time or money.
Where’s the best?
@@Shootingstarcomics Carolina Stockyard Restaurant........by far.
@@terrybane6206 I forgot about the Stockyard! I used to eat there once a week twenty some years ago. I haven’t been much lately, they closed down for a while 6 or 7 years ago and one of the waitresses from Brownie Lu’s told me she was reopening it. I went once since then but I never think about it when I’m around.
The Sidewalk Cafe had a pretty good burger but they closed a few years ago. I got a good burger at Hayley Bales once but it was pricey.
I’ve never eaten at Johnson’s, I’ve went with some friends twice but we turned around and walked out both times because of the line.
S&T's Soda Shoppe in Pittsboro does a WAY better burger than johnson's.
