Johnny Rockets
A Johnny Rockets is opening is my neighborhood. Is it worth going to? How are the burgers?

Nothing to write home about, but it is worth a visit!

It is about an hour drive away from my house, yet I still go. Enough said.
I like the milkshakes the most.
Cheers

Mediocre burgers. Good milkshakes.

Around me they tend to be in the malls. I can get my wife to go if the line is short and I put up with a couple of hours of shopping. I go all out when I do go, burger, onion rings, and a shake. Greasy but good, certainly would not put it in the best burger thread.

I'll add to the list of people who love their milkshakes. I made the mistake of looking at their nutritional charts once, and saw that I was having 2000 calorie meals there
My visits have dropped dramatically since then. Ignorance is bliss...

I dislike "doo-wop"music so I don't patronize Jonny Rockets,Mel's or any of the other nostalgia based chains.

Get a shake, you won't regret it. And don't whine about the prices, tad high

Mediocre entertainment. It helps if you liked the movie Grease

They have tabletop jukeboxes, which were an interesting experience for my iPod-crazed kids.

I agree...I used to enjoy the Rocket Double...until I found out how many calories I was eating...same thing goes for Pizzeria Uno...once I found out how many calories I was eating, I stopped going.

Agreed.
I have been to them a few times, nice place to go once or twice but I would not make it a regular place.
