Johnson's Drive-In

Was looking for some seafood for lunch today, and decided to drop in.  We go here a few times a year for seafood and really good fries and onion rings.  

They have changed the french fries to some random, not very good fast food style.  Very disappointing.  The fries used to be a real highlight here.    I had the clam strip roll, and that was fine, but the fries were just meh.    My son had the super chicken sandwich, and that was okay.  Good, not great.   Lunch for two was $27 -- which is fine, if the food is high quality, but this was just average.  I don't know if this is the same owners, but everything just seemed a bit off.

Decent enough place.  The food, eh, it's just mediocre.   Salads are very good, but if you're stopping in for a quick burger beware.  The regular burgers are mystery meat and for $6.99, it comes with nothing else but the burger.  Seriously, pick up a box of Bubba Burgers at Target, throw in a handful of fries for heaven sakes, and you would do better Johnson's.  They do offer a Black Angus burger, if you want to experience a real burger at Johnson's.  But  I feel all the burgers on the menu should be "real" meat.  Don't you?  I've never been for breakfast, so I'm not sure of the "cheap" status quoted by other reviews, but typically, I find most things on the menu overpriced for what you get.
It's such a fun, nostalgic place, it would be great if the food was up to par.

We stopped here for ice cream - nice treat on a hot day.  I ordered the black raspberry chocolate chip - I found a small amount of chocolate ice cream in the cup.  Perhaps the ice cream scoops aren't rinsed after each use.  Not a huge deal - I hate chocolate ice cream so I ate around it.  Just something to keep in mind for any food allergies.
