Advantages: Great theme, great food, good service Disadvantages: Sometimes the service CAN go wrong
...tomato sandwiches. I've never tried Johnny Rocket sandwiches. However, I have heard that they are extremely delicious. Also on sale are hot dogs, chilli dogs and a range of salds for all those health freaks out there. However there are no meals aimed specifically for vegetarians. In the way of drinks they offer the usual variety of sodas including 'Coca Cola', 'Sprite' and others similar. Also there's Iced Tea, Lemonade, Milk, Coffee, Hot Tea and ... ...be their floats, milkshakes and malts in the flavours of chocolate, strawberry and vanilla. Never in my life have I tasted anything as nice as a chocolate malt complete in a tall glass with cream and straws. It truly is the most amazing flavour, certainly beating any McDonald's milkshake by far!! There is a children's menu on request as this is not only a place for adults. This is a family-based diner which puts a nice little twist on your usual ...

Advantages: Good ol' fashion 50's style diner Disadvantages: Went twice and wasn't so good second time
I went to Johnny Rocket's diner in St Petersburg, Florida and it was situated in an outdoor shopping area called Bay Walk. Lovely place,pricey shops, cinema nearby-but that's not what I'm reviewing. It wasn't the LA one but as it's a chain, I don't really think that matters. Visit one Pizza Hut,visit them all-that kinda thing.
The restaurant is how you'd imagine a typical 50's diner to look like, checkered black and white floors, red leather booths, ... ...most important part of all! Johnny rockets is an American diner and no american diner would be complete with out milkshakes and malts! There was quite a selection of malts and shakes, your traditional strawberry,vanilla,chocolate etc but also a selection of modern day creations such as oreo cookie shakes, marshmallow-vanilla, and what I ordered the amazing, mocha-fudge malt.
MMmm...the fries came in a good ol' 50's basket, and the burgers looked ...

Advantages: great dining experience, retro Disadvantages: food wasnt GREAT
As a visitor to Los Angeles, I had not heard of the chain 'Johnny Rockets', and just happened to pop in to the branch on hollywood boulevard as I was thirsty. Little did I know that I was in fact entering a time warp! Great retro decor, with an authentic diner bar and cute touches like 'jukebox' napkin holders, we decided to have the full experience and order one of their trademark burgers and milkshakes. Had to wait a while for the food, which wasnt ... ...everyone who works in any restaurant in LA is actually a wannabe actor, and these guys didnt hold back- suddenly, when Arethra Franklin's 'Respect' came on the jukebox, ALL of the bar and food staff ran into the centre of the diner, and did a crazy little line dance with actions. They DID look a bit like they wanted the floor to swallow them up, especially when all the greedy tourists started taking pictures, bu it was a great surprise and made the ...
