I don't have much to say besides this -- I love their burgers. I had the double bacon cheddar burger, medium rare, and wow... it was one of those moments where you just stop and say, this is a GREAT burger. Juicy, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. It honestly made me think, NYC needs this again. The two locations we had back home are closed, and that's a real loss. If they ever come back to the city, I'll be first in line. Sorry I forgot to take a picture of it but I found a picture that look like it. read more

Johnny Rockets is the perfect hangover helper after wild nights in AC, and they know it. Why else would this greasy spoon with 60s vibes not open their doors until 10:30am each morning? Move along, early birds. Johnny Rockets caters to those sleeping in and staying up late, being one of the few eateries to remain open after midnight (on the weekends, at least). Burgers and shakes form the backbone of a traditional diner-inspired menu, which also features omelets, tater tots, chicken tenders, and club sandwiches. If you're looking for something greasy to soak up the night's libations, you'll find no shortage here. Accessibility is no problem, with an entrance right off the boardwalk leading to a cozy dining area with numerous red vinyl booths each equipped with a nickel jukebox oozing with nostalgia. Solo diners can pop a squat in one of about a dozen swivel chair barstools lining the countertop. You watch hands move fast and confidently, burgers hissing on the grill, ice cream thudding into metal cups, and the mixer rattling to life. It all plays out like a choreographed dance, truly mesmerizing if you can hit pause for a moment and just watch, taking it all in. Johnny Rockets at Bally's nails that vintage diner charm, with its chrome accents and hum of classic rock playing in the background. Whether sitting at the counter or chilling in a booth, time slows just a bit in here, a nostalgic little island away from the flashing lights and chaos of the casino floor. From sunrise pancakes to midnight fries, each bite feels like a small, timeless escape from the world outside. read more

Not the meal I was wanting, but it filled the void of not getting the meal I wanted. I know Johnny Rockets is a gimmicky tourist spot more and more now, but their service is always above par. After being defeated at a nearby establishment I needed food after a long day of travel and before settling in for the night. Not much was open for a quick bite and time was starting to dwindle for me. I had seen this location as I passed on my way up the boardwalk and figured I would get this a try on my way back. Entrance is through the inside to this spot. When I came in I was immediately greeted and asked if I wanted to sit inside or outside. With the wind whipping up outside I wanted inside. However, the hostess thought I said outside, with a quick correction, I was seated at a table, yes a table, all to myself. Immediately I was greeted by my server. See, that's how not being ignored works. Put my drink order in and was left to look over the menu. By the time the server came back I was ready to order. I got the Rocket Double, Tots with Cheese, and a Dr. Pepper. My server went off and I was left to my own. This location was kind of amazing and what I expected of it. Unlike some locations, the staff weren't dressed up in the 50s diner attire, but more of a laidback t-shirt and jeans type of atmosphere. The inside made you feel like a 50s diner, chrome, counter, small jukeboxes on the table. It's what you expect of one of these, and it's exactly what you get. My order trickled out. My drink, then shortly after the Tots with Cheese. I had to pick at those until the Rocket Double arrived. Food was what I expected. I just wish there was more cheese on the tots, it felt like they just put enough on there for the color and that was it. The burger was what I wanted and the service was amazing. Should have probably just came here in the first place. read more

Can't go wrong at Johnny Rockets. I came here two days in a row. I was craving a salad and Johnny rockets grilled chicken salad surely cured my cravings! The salad was filling & had a variety of additions that made it great. The next day I came for a JUICY burger with the works & a side of fries. Also, there was a festival going on along the boardwalk and there were so many patrons looking to dine in and order for takeout but the service was extremely speedy nevertheless. read more

Was looking for a midnight snack and was happy this was open. Our waiter Willy was great. They were very busy since a lot of people just came from a concert. The onion rings were delicious. Smokehouse burger was decent. It would be better with some lettuce and tomato. It was supposed to be medium well but was cooked well done. read more

The shift lead/manager is rude to customers and doing a terrible job running the place. They had 16 employees, but only 14 customers and it still took forever to get our burger and shake. When we got back to our room, we realized our shake had dirty banana peel in it. Do better. read more

Johnny Rockets - Yummy burger and onion rings served with a smile! - Burgers Near Me - Atlantic City, New Jersey

First and foremost, my apologies to Johnny Rockets. For some dumb, pre-judgmental reason, I had always disregard this eatery as a cheap novelty. But one night at the end of summer, my girlfriend and I were in need of a midnight snack. The closest establishment that was open turned out to be Johnny Rockets. My girlfriend and I ordered burgers and fries and we indulged. From the first bite of my bacon cheddar burger, I knew this was something special. Medium rare and tasty, I was compelled to eat like an animal. The comfort food hit the spot in the best of ways, our server was amazing, and outdoor seating was wonderful. We look forward to going back! read more

Went to this old school spot for lunch on our mini vacation...We were greeted with a smile from Willy and seated in a perfect location where we could still see the water... He took our order without writing it down and remembered everything! I got the chili cheese dog, delicious and cooked to perfection, just the way I ordered it and I like it (which I did request from Willy and they followed my instructions). Mom got the grilled cheese, which was basic but still good (I took a bite...lol)...We shared the fries... The ambiance was perfect for a Saturday afternoon, and the music in between was a great addition... Willy gave us a smiley face with the ketchup, which I thought was a nice added touch! He made sure that we were happy with the food when it was received and he continued to follow up throughout our meal... JR hasn't lost its touch, old school hot dog still just the way I remembered it...One of my regular spots when I am in Atlantic City, JR will be seeing us again...Cheap and tasty lunch when you have been gambling...lol read more

Simple, clean and seasoned burger. Sometimes I don't want to spend $30 on a burger. This does the job!! Staff was also friendly. read more

I've never been to a Johnny Rockets before - and this was a great first introduction. Chain restaurants overall I think gets too much hate - this isn't meant to be a gourmet food experience. The place advertises its affordable burgers and fries and it delivers that excellently. The fries and tater tots are good, solid sides - they're fried well and taste exactly how you'd expect fries and tater tots to taste like. Their burgers are cooked to medium well (as burgers should be) but still retain juiciness. For something that is right on the AC boardwalk, it was very reasonably priced - and it even had vegetarian options for all their burgers. I love diners and the diner vibe - and this one delivers on that. Our waitress was also very nice - she joked around with us and regularly checked in to make sure we were happy with our food and offer drink refills. All in all, it was a great first introduction to Johnny Rockets. read more

What it does, it does well. At certain times, this is the best place to take a seat and people watch the boardwalk.

Very busy location but it's still a good one. I was with one other person and the one way to get a spot without a wait was to take seats at the counter which was fine. It's located between Hard Rock and Caesar's. There was outdoor seating as well. Even though it was busy our server took our orders after a very short wait and the food came out pretty quickly and it was good. They were also out of a few items(onion rings and something else). Not sure if it was from being busy or they just ran out. Our server was very nice though and polite. The milk shakes are amazing. This time I had a Peanut Butter and Banana shake. Also it was reasonably priced being it was right on the boardwalk. read more

Waited a little late to get something to eat. This was close and still open. I sat at the counter. No one helped me right away. Finally someone helped me. It was pretty busy inside. It felt a bit unorganized to me. The place was average in cleanliness. I ordered strawberry Mimosa, onion rings and chicken cheese steak. It was all just average. Nothing to get excited about. Long story short is I'm not going to be hungry. Lol read more

Probably the worst grilled cheese sandwich I ever had. The cheese was processed crap and the bread was of the poorest quality possible. And it wasn't even grilled right. And then the so-called Root Beer float was flat soda and included soft ice cream, in a paper container. Don't waste your money here. read more

A good reliable burger place to get you what you need when you need it. Drinking and meandering along the boardwalk, dinner time came and went before I knew it. With not a lot of fast late night options, Johnny Rockets was where I ended up and it definitely had my back. Pretty standard if you have been to any of their other locations. Nothing special, but I do appreciate the consistency in all aspects. That included the service. Jaeden was my server at this location and he was great! read more

This place is the true definition of a hole in the wall...SUPER SMALL...but they manage to pack in a descent sized bar area with seating and booths for 2-4 people. If you go on the weekends, be prepared for a long wait with chaotic staff. If you're placing a to-go order...you have to do so while standing outside, through a tiny window...even if it's pouring raining). With all this being said...why the 4 star rating? Well, it's because after all the chaos and frustration, once seated...the food is good, fresh, hot and delicious. My waitress, Valerie, was so kind and attentive...she was hands-down the best waitress I had while I was in AC! It's employees like her that keep customers coming back! I came the next day and got a late night milk shake to-go. It was good. 4 stars for Johnny Rockets! read more

Food was great, we ordered some basic food like a Caesar Salad, Fries, Oreo Shake and Onion Rings to share! Nothing was too greasy and everything tasted great but the portion sizes are quite large. Service was pretty fast and everybody was nice. We had no issues waiter let us order right away with our drinks and food was given after about only 8 minutes. Ambience reminds me of back to the future when they end up in a restaurant. I guess I'm too young for the retro vibe to be nostalgic. It's not too loud very kid friendly and even has a personal jukebox at each table with a large selection of old music! read more

Very busy but was worth the wait. The burger was nice and juicy and the fries were very decent. We took it to go because we didn't had any seats available. The service was nice but please be careful because we had to wait 20 minutes to be ready , which is not too bad during the season. Super casual but they could do a better job maintaining the cleanliness around in my opinion. Too hungry to take pictures, sorry. read more

Stopped in for takeout on a Saturday night around 11:00. It wasn't very busy and put in an order and waited about 7 minutes or so and it was ready. I went with a Double Bacon Cheeseburger and Cheese Tots, which was $15. The burger was okay, nothing special, but there was a good amount of bacon and it's a big burger. The cheese tots were awesome. The tots were crispy and the cheese sauce was great. Service quick and friendly, Lorenzo took my order and he was very efficient. read more

The scene was wild in there. I went after partying and the crowd was filled with gamblers, clubbers, etc. We got a table pretty quickly but that was probably the only quick thing about my experience. The wait for food was almost 45 even with the crowd it's pretty long. Luckily it was an opportunity to people watch while my stomach create knots. The food was awesome I will give them that. I had the Pretty standard Burger with a fries/onion ring mix. Both were splendid. Also due to the massive crowd the restaurant wasn't really clean. The floor was filthy. read more

Obviously, not a 5 star glamour spot. Johnny Rocket's is a burger joint. Similar to Five Guys, SmashBurger, etc. Simple menu of burgers and fried foods. When we visit Atlantic City (about 5 times per year), we usually stay 3 nights. We enjoy one night at a forma sit down, one night at a new place that we have not tried, and always one night right here at JR. Burgers are always juicy and great. Tater tots RULE. The place is always pop'n and very busy, but they move through tables fast and the staff are always a lot of fun and very pleasant. Been here over 20 times, and never had a bad meal, or server with an attitude. Again, it's just a burger place. But you can get sit down, have a cheap meal and it's good. Don't skip the tater tots!! read more
