The food looked great and tasted fantastic. Our favorite appetizer has got to be the Bacon & Cheese Fries. You can easily share that plate with another person as a side for a main entree. We got cheeseburgers and every part of it was delicious. We went on a Saturday morning and the customers started picking up as soon as they opened. The place is very clean and organized and the inside was easy to navigate especially for newcomers. The establishment also contains a bar, however the place seems to be very much family friendly and welcomes all of any age. I would highly recommend checking them out for their delicious, and reasonably priced food. They certainly live up to their "best burgers in town" sign!

Solid spot with good burgers. The salad is okay and the fries are good. Nice selection of ketchups, I like the chipotle and curry ketchup. Spicy burger was good and the outdoor patio is nice on a sunny day.

Cool vibe, lots of room for groups, full bar. The Philly Cheese Steak is just ok, does not comes with fries ($16 + $5). Kids burger was ok, kids grilled cheese was good. On the higher spectrum of pricing. Odd observation, Only 1 stall in the men's bathroom for a restaurant with a capacity of 190.

If you want a burger and fries there really isn't a better place to go! St. Johns is a silicon valley staple. I get the guac burger and a side of fries. So good. Lots of condiments available as well - honey mustard, curry ketchup, etc.

Good food (big philly with peppers was quite good!), good service, no problems with this place, but beware of the parking lot. Take all electronics in with you. ALL! Had my car (and 3 others) broken into. Smashed the windows, got into the trunk, and took everything. Nothing was visible... the warning signs in the lot are no joke.

Came here for the first time with my coworkers. I can tell you that the food was delicious. Ordering the food went pretty quickly and we didn’t have to wait much for our food to be done. They have a bar for those who love to drink. You get a pretty good amount of food, I didn’t get to finish it all but the food I got was pretty delicious.

St. John’s used to be good one of my favorite places the meat patties would come off the bun and authentically seasoned and Fresh. The meat patties were replaced with a frozen flavorless meat patty. I was extremely disappointed, and I will never return again. Definitely not worth the price

One of the best burger restaurants in Mountain View. I love how the theme of this restaurant is old fashioned making it feel like we traveled back decades ago. Yes, food is expensive is here, but it’s worth coming here and trying their stuff. Hickory Burger is delicious and the fries too. However, they only come in separate orders. I ended up staying here longer because of how good the atmosphere is. Also, love their selections of condiments like Honey Mustard and Chipotle Ketchup. The menu…they have so many types of burgers and chicken sandwiches! I didn’t even know that they serve Philly Cheesesteaks. Will be coming back here soon!
