Bad service and cold French Fries

by Anthony Jackson at Citysearch

Christian and I stopped by this location before our movie to grab a bite and it was a disaster. The service was awful and Claudia our waitress kept disappearing as if she was in the back getting her groove on. We were offered an opportunity to sit upstairs but was not informed that the unlimited fries weas not available upstairs. The water that she gave us tasted like swamp. Bad choice.

Really Good

by JohnNYC17 at Citysearch

I live within 45 seconds of the place and I really like it. The staff are nicer than at your average chain restaurant. I ask for the burgers greasy .... it's just better that way! The onion rings and fries are a little lackluster, but when I first drank from one of their divine malts, all my earthly worries melted away. Heavenly!

Johnny Rockets 1134 1st Ave

by larsonp08 at Citysearch

My girlfriend and I ate there on a Thursday night because it was close to the movie theater we were coming from. We were seated quickly and the waitress tended to us quickly as well. They have a decent array of desirable milkshakes, but I was amazed at how pricey they were- at $6.25. I ended up getting one of the cheaper, standard milkshakes which were $5.25. The bacon cheddar double (burger) I got was very good. However, As I picked it up, I watched a handful of grease pour onto the plate below. This was slightly concerning but I'm not a health freak so it didn't bother me that much. All in all, Johnny Rockets hit the spot quite well.

Best Burgers & Service!!

by Allesandra at Citysearch

Johnny Rockets Sports Lounge offers the best burgers and service with a nostalgic 1950's feel. It's a happy place, with table top juke boxes for fun!

Upstairs, is the same food & service, but it's a sports lounge with comfy couches & HDTV everywhere.

They even have a "frequent eater" program!

What's not to love?!?
