I love the concept and have loved the food at other locations. This place needs some updating and better customer service. Sometimes there is quite a wait when it is empty. The food seems to be kind of dumped on the plate and and is overpriced for just a burger and fries. It is convenient, but you can have a better meal somewhere else for the price. If you've never been, go. Otherwise unless you don't have time to go somewhere else, skip it. Sad, because it could be a great place.

Nope, go somewhere else. Hamburger was dry as desert. The meat was thin. For two of us... the bill was $40.

Fast service. Nice people. Good food. The the only downfall here is that there is almost nowhere to park. A lot of the snowbirds take their golf carts and park everywhere, leaving very little room for cars to park.

It was our first visit here and it's really nice with the old school diner look. All the employees are very friendly and welcoming. The food came out hot and fresh. The hamburger was delicious. The only problem I have with this place is the pricing verses the portion you get. Basically everything is a la carte.
I would definitely come back because the food is very tasty 😋

They have really gone down hill. Ask for avocado on burger and you get 1 tiny slice for an up charge. Dirty, slow, customer service.

By far, the worst food I've eaten. The first time I ate the food was on our cruise. That was delicious. This one here was disgusting. I will say the milkshake was the only good thing we had. What a terrible birthday meal! Thanks for nothing, @JohnnyRockets . Sadly, the air conditioner wasn't working either. With triple digit heat temps outside. The people who work there were doing good under the circumstances. They were very polite.

Hmmm..where to start! We havent been back here since December due to a super rude employee with dreads..
Was in the area, decided to give them another chance.. 7-6-25 830 am
Only us as customers for 20 min, then a couple showed up with coffee from Next door!
Waitress tried to remember everything instead of writing it down! No cheese on the ,chedder, mushroom onion omlette!
Needed coffee for a long while, told she would be back after 10 min found her inside giving directions to a guy!
While her only customers didnt have coffee with the very mediocre food!! Manager here?

Hope he gave her the part of the tip she lost!
Just plain done here! So many other options. Not sure why its such a struggle here. Cya

Had a nice lunch with the family at Johnny Rockets.
The atmosphere is a cool retro vibe, like a throwback to a 50's diner or Malt Shop. You could sit at a table, booth, or the counter. It has the open kitchen layout so you can see the chefs working their magic. Downside is if something burns, it's smokes and smells up the place.
The food was good. Buns of the burgers are grilled and still had a nice crunch to them. One burger was the Original without veggies. Another was the original with the works. Burgers we delicious cooked nicely. We also shared the bacon and cheese tator tots. The liquid cheese was so so but the tator tots were crispy and flavorful. One kiddo ordered a hot dog w/onion rings. She had a couple bits of the hot dog and maybe 2 onion rings, however that is her normal eating pattern. Onion rings were crunchy and had decent flavor. With a little salt, they were a solid choice. The next kiddo ordered the kid sliders and a side of fries. It was a typical slider and fries meal for kids. The fried are the smaller sized, shoestring fries. Love these fries.
The service was good. Our waitress seemed to have 3/4 of the restaurant while the other 2 waitresses split the front 5 tables. Even with that, the chefs were running food out to the tables and one even came out to help bus a table.
All in all, a pleasant trip and good food. Be patient and have time to kill as it's not the fastest but the food came out warm and was delicious for the afternoon.
