    Garlic parm wings - 10 pieces- very ugly looking
    Sanny C.

    It been so long since I had Johnny Rockets. The first time was dine in at another location. It was a good experience. I was hesitant to order wings here. Not sure why. However, I had a deal for wings so decided to order for pick up. The packaging was good. We were hoping the wings would be good. I had a disgusting face when I opened the box. Must be some cheap wings or old wings. I dunno. I tried some. The garlic parm tasted different from normal wings places. It wasn't bad but for sure ain't the best. The lemon pepper wings were not good at all. Wings were somewhat juicy and didn't taste old. Very little sauces in both boxes. We were only given one bag of blue cheese. We requested for ranch. Anyways...these wings looked very unappetizing. We didn't finish. I will definitely NOT return.

    Sign says they close at 7:30pm. It's 7:07. Why are they close. No one here. Already cleaned and closed for the night. So disappointed. Really wanted a burger

    The chilly dog was made really well. The cook was super friendly and did a great job.

    Ugh. I don't like to write negative posts. But this place was disappointing. I was randomly craving a shake and had gone next door to pick up ramen for lunch the next day. I came here and ordered a shake and a hotdog. The employee was glued to his phone, young kid. HE was so checked out, the cook noticed and came for my order. The cook was waaay friendlier than the actual dude running the register. I gave him my order and then the kid walked over to me after this. He rang me up while still watching something on his phone. He started my shake and halfway through, I noticed how dirty the shake area was and it was super gross. The cook brought over my chilly dog. When I got my shake I was too grossed out to even have it. The pots and blender top was filthy and stacked with ice cream messy all over the sink for people to see. I had already paid, and I didn't wanna make a scene or deal with a refund, I just won't go back. And by reading here I can see it's a big problem. Bummer. The chilly dog was good though and the cook was great.

    Chicken Club Sandwich

    I came during lunch time and it was pretty empty so service was quick. The cashier was super occupied with her phone and didn't seem to want to be bothered though. I ordered a chicken sandwich and it was actually pretty solid. Tasted very fresh and served very hot! I was surprised that it was tasty lol. I would request sauce next time if they offer any options.

    Solid place for burgers, fries and shakes! Cutely decorated as a 1950s themed diner. Current promotion is the Chocolate "Dirt" Milkshake. During September, Happy Hour for this spooky treat is 2PM-5PM, buy one, get one 50% off. -Friendly & Good Customer Service -Very Clean Indoor & Outdoor Seating -Plenty of free parking in the Kohl's shopping center. You don't want to miss this deal! Bring a friend, and don't forget to tell'em that Rosemary sent ya

    Haven't been to a Johnny Rockets for ages. Not sure why we decided to stop in to satisfy our craving for burgers. 2 burgers, 2 drinks, an order of fries and onion rings came out to be a whopping $53!! That's seems outrageous for fast food burgers. Furthermore, the burgers seemed much smaller than what I remembered. The quality of the food was also mediocre at best. A similar meal at In-and-Out costs about $20 with much better quality. I gave them an extra star for the outstanding service and attitude of the server, Francisco. I wish all restaurant staff are like him.

    Background On Visit: Missed having Johnny Rockets food and had this craving for a milkshake. I decided to go on the day of their grand opening Floor Plan: Thought it was okay, but feels kinda uncomfortable sitting at the communal long table next to the line where you order. I get that there isn't much room so they had to maximize the space that they have. Credit Card: They're accepted Restroom: Yes, restroom is available. Parking: A shared parking lot with other business in the back. Ambiance/Decor: Ambiance was alright with 1940's vintage feel. Wasn't born in the 40's, but in the movies it does look kinda sorta like it. There aren't many tables and seats inside, but their are communal tables outside. It would be nice if they would a real jukebox to play some tunes and have the staffers dance like the old location at the Santa Anita mall (The mall is now called, The Shops of Santa Anita. Order Of Operation: 1) Get in line and pay at the register 2) Go to a table, place your number at the table, and wait for a staffer to bring you your food. As for to-go orders, just stand anywhere that has some space to wait for your order. Service: Service was alright for the most part. Felt a little off putting when the staffer behind the register asked if I would like to tip. Food came out at a decent time and the staffer (Jolene) provided more ketchup by drawing a smiley face on the plate. I realized after I finished my meal that they forgot to give me my chocolate milkshake I ordered. I had a hard time finding Jolene to tell her about it that I went to the counter instead and talked to the person at register. Eventually, I got the milkshake. Food Of Choice: I ordered the original double cheeseburger and fries. Thought it was okay. Milkshake was very good. Food For Thought: Wouldn't mind coming back for another chocolate shake when I have a craving for it.

    Grilled Chicken Sandwich
    Jaddis H.

    Location and Parking- this resturant is CLEANNN. SQUEEKY clean and I loed it! I felt super comfortable dinning in and there's plenty of parking from the lot Service- best thing about this place! the staff was patient and gave good recommendations. they even drew cute ketchup art for us and urged us to scan the code to play music :) Food- my husband devoured his burger and can't wait to get it again. I think he got one with jalapenos? the fries were EXTREMELY fresh (never frozen_ and my favorite part of the meal. it was also a great size for the price we paid. I got the grilled chicken sandwich which was really small (was kinda sad) but at least it tasted good

    Plenty of PARKING! Sometimes parking is everything, especially when you are hungry and don't want to circle the block for a space to park. The location in Alhambra is great in terms of parking spaces. Burgers, fries, and shakes was the craving so Johnny Rockets made sense. Downside might be they don't offer combo meals. Mostly everything is "à la carte", (burgers, fries, drinks are charged separately - not a good value), the exception are the kids meals and special promotion meal. Overall, I would still would come back. Food was good and service was great.

    Firstly, the food was absolutely delicious. We received our burgers and they were cooked perfectly. You could squeeze the burger and fat was still oozing out of the patty. It tasted phenomenal and was not undercooked. The service was quick and efficient. Our food was brought to us promptly. There is a relaxed atmosphere to the restaurant with a sense like you're back in the 50's diner enjoying a burger. There was a QR code to vote for the soundtrack for the music playing in the restaurant. P.S. Our cashier made a Oreo Milkshake for some other customers and he decided to let us have it as a sample because the customers that bought the milkshake didn't want the excess.. It was awesome ! The shake was freaking delicious.

    Onion Rings
    Katelyn K.

    When I think of Johnny Rockets, I remember the old location on Main St. Back then, they always drew a ketchup smiley face. I really like their ranch, not sure if it's made in house. I was in the area and saw this location and had to stop by for a late lunch. I ordered The Rocket (single), Chicken Club, Onion Rings and Fries. I was surprised each burger is around $10 - $14 now. The ingredients are fresh. The employees are very nice and I noticed they are happy to be working there so they take care of their customers well. I do like the new decoration but the old red and white with the the counter will always be nostalgic! I parked in the back and they take credit cards.

    Happy that we don't have to drive out to Hollywood for a nostalgic taste of Johnny Rockets! The ketchup comes in a smile on a plate, iykyk. The jukebox of an app/website link now with different playlists of classic diner music, organized by era/genre (Motown, 60s, 50s, etc) The strawberry and Oreo milkshake is my fave. Philly cheesesteak was hearty and filling, good amount of cheese (would have liked more peppers, onions, mushrooms but still great). The grilled chicken sandwich was juicy with fresh ingredients. Chili cheese fries had melted and shredded cheese; chili wasn't greasy and flavorful (I'd rather get this than The Hat). Fries and onion rings were crunchy and crisp without being oily.

Its small, busy, and quaint (no frills) - but hearty breakfast that feels like home.

    The Reyn is a popular breakfast spot in Pasadena and a place I still visit from time to time,…read moreusually when meeting friends or colleagues. Despite its popularity, I find the food to be fairly average. Much of it tastes like it's made from standard commercial food-service ingredients rather than prepared fresh. On the positive side, the prices are reasonable, the dining room has a pleasant atmosphere, and the staff is generally attentive. Overall, it's a decent neighborhood breakfast restaurant - nothing particularly memorable, but nothing especially disappointing either. The Reyn Special - 3/5. A classic breakfast plate with eggs, bacon, hash browns, and banana bread. The eggs and bacon are fairly average, although the bacon tends to be overcooked and dry. The standout is the hash browns. They're cooked with a nicely browned, crispy crust while still remaining fairly moist inside. The real highlight, however, is the banana bread. It tastes homemade and is easily the best item on the plate. Crepes - 1/5. This dish comes as two separate plates: one with the ricotta-filled crepes and another with eggs, sausage, bacon, and your choice of fries or tater tots. Unfortunately, the crepes are the weakest part of the meal. The ricotta-filled crepes don't taste freshly made and instead resemble a pre-made food-service product that's simply reheated before serving. Both the crepe and ricotta filling have a generic flavor with noticeable artificial notes. You can choose either banana or strawberry topping, but both sauces taste overly processed and artificial. The accompanying breakfast plate is noticeably better. I chose the tater tots, which were well prepared - crispy on the outside while remaining soft inside. The bacon, however, was again overcooked and dry, making it tough to chew. The sausage was acceptable but unremarkable. Scrambled Supreme - 2.5/5. Despite the name, this is essentially an omelet. The eggs have a mild, neutral flavor, and the fillings are okay but don't stand out. Coffee - 2/5. The coffee is classic diner coffee in every sense. It's somewhat watery, heavily roasted, and finishes with a flat, slightly bitter aftertaste. It's neither particularly good nor particularly bad - just standard coffee that does the job. Overall, The Reyn succeeds as a comfortable, affordable breakfast spot with a pleasant atmosphere and friendly service. While the food is average, and several dishes rely on ingredients that taste commercially prepared rather than freshly made.

The staff there was hustling and moving non stop but were very friendly and accomodating. Nick's has a great classic diner ambiance. We got seated inside which was all bar seating.

They also had all these great vintage photos, art and merch hanging on their walls which really added some personality. They also have outside seating and tables that face spring street and the side of LA historic park. Now on to the food. We ordered the Eggs and Steak with a side of hashbrowns and toast, 1st Street Omelette with a side of hash browns and a biscuit, a grilled blueberry muffin and some coffee. Everything was pretty good, especially that grilled muffin. Also, make sure you ask for some house made blueberry jam for your toast or biscuit. You're welcome.

I'm so glad we did because we had a wonderful time. Right off the bat, however, I want to point out that this is a cash only establishment. Yes, they do have an ATM inside, but if you want to avoid what I'm assuming is a crazy service fee, bring plenty of cash with you because this place isn't the cheapest meal in town. It's not expensive, but it's not cheap. Also, there is very limited parking so just be ready to park on the street a bit away and walking in. The location itself is small. Narrow and deep. They squeeze in as many tables as they can around the walls while having a long countertop that runs the length of the kitchen. But, with all that said, and with them trying to cram in as many people as possible, it didn't feel too cramped. Only time we really felt the high density was when one of my kids needed to use the restroom and we had to find somewhere to stand and wait for it to become available. Outside of the front of the restaurant, there really is no space to just stand around. The food itself is wonderful. The burgers are no nonsense. They're not trying to be anything other than just a classic diner burger and fries. And that's exactly what I want from a place like this. Nothing is made for Instagram or to chase a trend. This place knows what they're good at because they've been doing it for decades and they don't stray from that. It's a total 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' mentality here and it's better off for it. My son got the chili and demolished it. I was worried he wouldn't like it, but it was anything but the case. I haven't seen him eat chili that fast in a long time. The dessert was good, but probably my least favorite part of the whole meal. I think I just wanted something different than what I ordered. I got the peach crumble and, while tasty, it just didn't scratch the pie itch I wanted. It was the perfect blend of soft and crispy. The crumble was good, but I think I wanted more of it.
