What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Johnny Roger's BBQ & Burgers receives praise for its award-winning burgers, particularly the Candied G.O.A.T. Burger, and its accommodating gluten-free options. However, some diners have noted inconsistencies in food quality, with concerns raised about burger preparation and the overall value for money, despite a generally friendly atmosphere.
"Love this place! I usually get a pulled pork sandwich & it's great! I am so appreciative for the gluten free bun. The texture & taste of it is good. Today I decided to get a hot dog all the way on a gluten free burger bun. They went the extra mile to cut & arrange the dog on the bun with the toppings, since it was a burger bun. They are knowledgeable of gluten allergies and which foods are gluten friendly. The baked beans have pulled pork mixed in and are gluten free! Very yummy! All people who work there are friendly and are very attentive in serving their customers."

"1st time visitors today.
You order at the counter and pay. Then they bring the food to your table.
I had the large BBQ plate. BBQ was delicious. I got baked beans and white coleslaw as sides, both excellent. They don't have hushpuppies, so I added a fry as an extra side. I enjoy something crunchy with my BBQ, hence, my inquire about hushpuppies. It did come with a slice of white bread, 2 raw onion rings and 2 sliced pickles. I liked the pickles. Years ago the Old Hickory House BBQ, see picture, on N Tryon in Charlotte added pickles to the plate. So, today, I got to reminisce. (The Old Hickory House also served a "to die for" Brunswick Stew... I found the recipe and plan on making some.)
Back to lunch today.
My wife got a BBQ sandwich and sweet potato fries. The BBQ and coleslaw were quite moist, so she gave up on eating it as a sandwich (it got soggy) and ate the remaining with a fork. She, too, enjoyed the food.
We both got iced-tea. The tea was good.
In today's cost, it will be about what I anticipated.
We'll come again as they have other menu items we'd like to try. There were 3 firemen beside us, all eating a chicken wrap. Must have been good as they gobbled them up.
I'd recommend."

"Always a friendly and knowledgeable staff! They have gluten free options. And will answer any questions you have to stay safe from gluten. I’m celiac and have never got sick eating here so far. The place is small on the inside that’s the only complaint. Great tasting sweet tea! Their menu is found on their website. Be aware that the fries are cooked in a shared fryer. I ordered the Honey Mustard Grilled Chicken Sandwich on a delicious gluten free bun! with a side of white slaw. I added a side of fries. Will definitely go back!"
