Here's the thing about Little John's: you are either going to have an awesome perfect burger or are you going to get one poorly reheated + just yucky.

In my experience it depends on what time of the day you go. Weekends just in my experience have been bad luck with a younger crew that is overwhelmed whether to lack of tools and resources or training. I don't know.

Then you've got adult crew during the weekday lunch shift...
The fries here where AMAZING! The burger was alright but nothing special. I'd definitely recommend trying this place out. It looks kind of sketchy on the outside but sometimes those are the best places. Im absolutely going to give it another go and see what it think.
My love for this joint started a long time ago and stays strong today!

It has changed with the times, but only gotten better. Shakes and burgers have always satisfied but the addition of full ice cream service some years back makes this neighborhood classic a double threat. Heck think of it as a triple threat for good times if you toss in great service and cleanliness to boot! Always sharp, always good, always helpful!

Thanks for the memories...
