johnnie's tavern

really good burger. they have a limited menu but everything is very good, reasonably priced and well beyond expectations. if your looking for a top notch burger and a cold beer this is theplacefor you. johnny's could easily be missed on your travels on trabue rd and by the rr tracks, but it's worth the stop!

tucked right by the railroad tracks, thisplacehas been serving some of the best burgers in town since the 1940's.  also, they serve what may be the best roast beer sandwich in town.  you won't find any "fancy" beers here, but you may find the coldest in town.

best burger i've had in columbus. johnnie's by far has the best burger i've had in columbus. theplacenever really grabbed my attention until a coworker told me to check it out and i was impressed by how good (and reasonably priced) the burgers were.

neighborhood gem. alas the johnnie of johnnie's tavern passed a while ago. but theplaceis still a gem of a find just east of the chain frenzy that is hilliard-rome rd. the burgers are as good as advertized and, indeed, the onion rings are a plus on the side as opossed to a nuisance. happy hour is 3-7 monday through friday and would be my recommended time to visit. not for the half priced appetizers which are certainly acceptable, especially at two dollars, but with beer specials and two dollar well drinks, it is worth the stop. the beers are definitely ice cold and the drinks, even at full price which is a whopping three dollars, are easily as potent as two drinks at most other places. the service is friendly and always a pleasure to see. they have a decent lunch crowd and sitting space is definitely at a premium. also, their hours are somewhat sporadic so calling ahead would be a good suggestion. by the way, i take my kids in and have never had a problem doing so, in fact quite the opposite. these are down home folks with a "come on in, good to see ya," atmosphere.
