love the history of Johnnie's and the food is good but the staff however can be hit or miss! i have had great service and I have had horrible service so it's hit or miss. Personally I can do without it simply because I choose not to be treated like a annoyance rather than a customer.

Oldest restaurant in Tupelo. Inexpensive, good food,fun service. And we got to sit in Elvis's favourite booth!

I have always said I was going to stop in here and finally did. I am certainly glad I stopped, living in Tupelo these past two years I have gained more empathy in the realm of appreciation in small businesses. This establishment has been a staple in the area. When you first step in the door it is as if you have been transported into the past, the quaint seating is welcoming and comfortable like grandma's old kitchen. The service is prompt, friendly, professional.

Definitely eat here if you're in Tupelo, MS. You have to try the doe burger. Elvis Presley used to frequent here when he was young. It's the oldest restaurant in Tupelo, MS!

FYI: No credit or debit cards accepted.Very good food, service and prices! Very cool nostalgic atmosphere! We got to sit in the booth that Elvis sat in when he was here in 1956. There is a picture on the wall above the booth showing Elvis sitting in the booth! Too cool! What a great experience! Will definitely return if back by this way in the future!

On a trip to Florida, I surprised my mom with a stop in Tupelo to see where Elvis was born. We decided to grab a bite to eat while in town. So where better than a place that the king himself ate? We sat in the Elvis booth (there's a photo of him sitting in that booth). I had a dough burger, which was delicious. The staff was very friendly as well.

This was such a cute restaurant. We went there for breakfast. It was a dreary day outside, but inside the staff was friendly and the locals were just sitting and cutting up.This is a local joint... No more really needs to be said huh ;)This is a nice place if you like Elvis

This was a fabulous little find on our route from KC to Pensacola. Amanda's (Otis) service was top-notch, the dough burgers and BLTs were great, the onion rings were amazing, and the chicken strips were huge and flavorful. Try this! You won't be disappointed! Oh, and we were in and out with a party of five after waiting 3-4 mines for a table, on less than an hour!! Beware: one hole, unisex restroom.

This great little restaurant is really close to the house Elvis was born in and a place to get a quick burger and fries. You can get a 100% meat burger or you can get a doughboy burger which is meat, flour and water. And a coke. The owner greets you when you come in and the waitress makes you feel right at home. Decorated a la Elvis, this place claims to be the oldest restaurant in Tupelo. And it was also the favorite burger place for Elvis and his favorite booth is noted.

Cash Only, no CC or DCards. It's OK. The service was very good. The servers are polite and attentive. The food, Quantity was plenty, Quality was OK. The pecan pie was heated in the microwave and was far toooo hot to eat and by the time it cooled it lost its tastiness. The BBQ plate was very good, worth the money.

CASH ONLY. There is an atm across the street. Service is top notch. I opted for the dough burger because "when in Rome..." Skip it; it was good, but is not worth the extra calories and cholesterol. Overall good place.

I'm giving this 4 stars for the friendly service and the history. I would not go back for the food. I you are in town though and doing the Elvis circuit then it is a must see stop. The young lady working was very friendly and answered our questions about the menu. She also took a picture of my family in the Elvis booth and offered for us to sign the guest book.

Food is good. As my son says, it's old school. Customer service is great! Seating is limited. Parking is limited as it is a drive in restaurant. Love the small town feel. Will be back every time I pass thru.
