Johnson's is a restaurant in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars located in Firefly Island, Broker, Liberty City.
Description[]
It is located on Crockett Avenue in Firefly Island and has been operating since 1970. The business is inaccessible to the player. Johnson's sells hot dogs, as well as other items such as seafood and Freedom Fries. The name is a reference to the term johnson, which is slang for a penis, another one of Rockstar's sexual innuendos. In addition, selling seafood including clams and crab implies further innuendo around getting crabs (aka pubic lice).
Influence[]
Johnson's appears to be a rendition of the original Nathan's Famous[1] restaurant located at 1310 Surf Avenue, Brooklyn, United States.

Trivia[]
- The advertisement artwork to the left of the business has the slogan We're all dreaming of a bite of a nice big Johnson! [sic], further adding more sexual innuendo and referencing the act of oral sex.
- Said artwork depicts a man wearing a New York Yankees cap, which is odd, as the New York Yankees are parodied in GTA IV as the Liberty City Swingers.
