For how busy this place gets and the young staff who works there, they are really good! We waited for about 10 minutes to get a table. We had the sweetest girl helping us, Haley. College kid-- working for the summer. We both ordered the Spicy Houston and fries. SO good! I noticed a few angry customers next to us-- unhappy because they felt they waited too long for food. The place is packed, they are getting orders out as quick as they can- you can watch the kitchen staff working- it's an open kitchen-- they aren't sitting around while people wait for food. If you enjoy watching impatient people crash out, go on a busy weekend at night! quite the crowd sometimes. Great job Johnny Rockets on serving tasty burgers at almost a fast food pace! Would recommend. Oh and the shakes read more

Johnny Rockets - Horrible. Overcooked chicken tenders!! Not even edible. Threw it away - Diners Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I became familiar with JR in Cali, so I was excited that it was here in Reno. The atmosphere is good. Family-friendly and the staff is friendly too. Food was served fast. The tots were hot and fresh. The burger was supposed to have relish, but I got pickles instead. The relish was why I chose that burger. It was also super greasy. I ended up just eating the beef and some lettuce. Now, the price. I spent almost $34 for a burger, tots, and a root beer. Don't think I will spend that much again for a burger. read more

It's been ages since I was here. There were 5 of us in our party. We had a fabulous waiter. I gave 4 stars for the service. He made sure we were all taken care of. I was very pleased that they have gluten-free buns. Back in the day, they had a large menu of shakes. Our favorite was Chocolate covered cherry milkshake. This business is located in the GSR in the basement. My bestie and I got the Bacon and Cheddar burger; she had fries, I did not. I can't remember what the rest of my family got. But everyone was pleased with their burgers, shakes, and fries. We were all so hungry that we didn't get any pictures of our food. I did feel the food was pricey for what we got. The service, on the other hand, was great. Wish I could remember the name of our waiter. I sure hope he gets KUDOS for a job well done. read more

Tina was absolutely amazing! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. She checked in on us at the perfect times, had such a positive attitude, and made our experience even better. Great customer service like hers is hard to find. We will definitely be back and hope to have Tina as our server again. Thank you, Tina! read more

Service was fine, but the quality and value was very disappointing. The photos on the menu look nothing like what arrives on the table. The patty was slightly thicker than the cardboard of my amazon box. $15+ for a single, $18 + for a double. Sauce was piled in the middle so most of the burger was dry (no juice from thin patty didn't help). Johnny Rocket's used to serve one of the best burgers in town. Avoid this place now...sadly! The GSR should step in and make adjustments before Reno loses more visitors due to poor value. Mr. Harrah and Mr. Ascuaga would never have let this happen. read more

We had to wait 30 minutes because they only had one side of the restaurant open. My wife and I had eaten there multiple times over the past ten years because we lived in Sparks and got free room offers frequently. The service was bad because it seemed like they only had one server and she was overwhelmed. I ordered the basic Rocket burger and the rest of the group ordered various things. The total cost was $165.97 and I didn't think it was worth $75! My burger was anemic and the fries were undercooked, greasy and limp. My 3 year old granddaughter ordered the Oreo milk shake and turned up her nose when she tasted it. read more

We stood at the door for 20 min before being noticed - it was pretty crazy. They were busy, but seriously - acknowledge people! I got a burger, my DIL got the fake burger, and it was all just meh. If someone who wanted the Johnny Rockets experience, they would be sorely disappointed. I won't be back ~ it wasn't a great experience. read more

The hostess rudely said she didn't have time to take my to go order and said to order online. My fries were cold and small portion $7.99. They gave me 1/2 cup 3 oz of Chili and I complained that I paid for a bowl $8.99 hostess said that was their portion for a bowl. Terrible! read more

Probably the saddest excuse of a location for this chain. My side salad was entirely wilted and tasted of dirt, half the plate was cheddar cheese. Waiter didn't ask what dressing I wanted and when we stopped him to pick one, he said we could swap it out for whatever I'd like and immediately walked away. Didn't check back in. I ended up not eating it anyways. My soda tasted like the machine was moldy. My partners burger was wrong, and the replacement we got was cold with a stale bun. His root-beer float was mostly ice cream with about an inch of soda on top. Great if you love ice cream but that wasn't what we ordered. The only halfway decent item was the hot dog. We both felt ill afterwards. Kitchen was poorly managed, waiters kept bickering at each other for taking each others orders. Lots of food on the shelf not being taken to tables. Only one staff member looked to be over the age of 23. Very poor experience. I don't plan on coming back here next visit to the GSR. read more

We stop by this place every time we visit GSR! Their shakes are our favorite! Onion rings cooked perfectly! We always enjoy our late night dinner from here! I wish the burgers were served with sides but I feel like serving entrees without sides is a normal thing at casinos. read more

Open late in the GSR resort! Ordered online, had my bf go downstairs to pick it up, service was quick and efficient! He said it was your typical JR ambiance with diner style counters etc, grab and go service! Food was good!

Even a greasy mushroom burger, fries, & shake can make me happy. I haven't been to a Johnny Rockets in nearly 15 years and I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. The service was fast, our server was kind, and the decor was cute. I loved the vintage "diner" look it had. Very kid friendly + they have a kid's menu. read more

Nostalgia led me to suggest Johnny Rockets to my group for a quick meal, as the chain diner was just downstairs from our rooms at the Grand Sierra Resort. As adolescents, we'd go to the Fisherman's Wharf location in SF & to one in Reno whose exact location escapes my memory. No one was too thrilled with their burgers or sandwiches but the worst item were their chicken tenders. I don't believe these were made using chicken breast. (The Yelp pics from a year ago looked to be made with chicken breast.) The portion was generous & the ranch was actually a good one but I don't fvck with pressed meat. Thick breading on the onion rings, the kind that scratches up the roof of your mouth, but I wouldn't say no to any kind of onion ring. Skeleton crew running this sad joint that used to be fun, retro, & exciting to eat at. No dedicated hostess & our poor waiter was overworked with the amount of tables he had to cover. We tipped him generously as he was awesome, given the circumstances. If it wasn't already obvious, skip skip skip Johnny Rockets, at least this Grand Sierra Resort location. read more

I don't think I've ever had such a bad experience at a food place. The manager who runs this establishment should go have some training on how to properly manage. Seating took 45 minutes since they only had 1 waiter. They also decided to sit my party of 3 in a 2 person table and brought a chair up for my third. Ordering our food took an additional 15-20 minutes. Once our food came out, they got our order wrong and it came out cold. One of our bacon burgers had a depressing amount of bacon. We waited and waited until the server could come and hand us some barbecue sauce that we needed for the extremely dry burger they served (they never came). At that point we just got up and left. Never coming back to this establishment again. read more

We needed a quick bite before going to a comedy show at GSR. This was perfect and grateful for a veggie burger option even a vegan shake was on the menu! The fries were not very good unfortunately, no salt? The service was quick and friendly. We sat at a cute little booth and had a nice quick dinner. Needed a break from all the crowds upstairs so this was just right. read more

It's been a long while since we've been to Johnny Rockets. Since then the GSR moved the restaurant downstairs. The tables no longer have the little jukeboxes, the staff no longer stop and dance to a song. That was always fun. The menu has changed but the food is still pretty much good. I still recommend the restaurant. Yummy'! read more

I have been to a number of Johnny Rockets locations and this was by far the poorest example. On arrival, there was no staff to be found and over half the tables needed to be bussed. I stood at the Host podium for a few minutes, along with another customer, before. Staff began to appear from a back room. Once acknowledged I was immediately seated. My order was simple... An Original single and a soda. Food arrived reasonably quickly, appearing hot and fresh. However it had no flavor whatsoever. I may as well been eating Styrofoam. The meat was entirely unseasoned. It didn't even pick up any flavor from the sear. An occasional pickle was the only hint of flavor and there wasn't nearly enough to make up for the rest. Even the bun was tasteless. I kept taking exploratory bites but there was simply nothing there. I didn't finish the sandwich and left disappointed. Giving two stars only because the server, when she emerged from the back room, was at least friendly and efficient. read more

Burgers and service were great! I like diner-style food and got a Route 66 which was really tasty, and my boyfriend got the double Smokehouse and his friend got the Spicy Houston. They both really liked their food. Tina was our waitress and was really attentive and efficient! read more

Tina our server was amazing! Her hospitality and services were 5 stars. The burgers and onion rings were delicious. Oreo shake is a must

I don't know if Ann was a manager or what but she gave us horrible service and threw attitude as us the entire time plus ignored us. Would continue to talk over me as well. Would give zero stars if I could read more

This was my first time here. The service was slow to place a to go order. It seemed like the priority was placed on getting people seated that came after you. The food once my order was placed was delicious. I ordered the bacon double cheeseburger with a side of onion rings. The onion rings were enough to share and delicious. I would definitely return again the next time I visit. read more

I stood at the order area for over 5 minutes and had the workers walk by, make eye contact, and walk back to the stove and start cursing. I can't tell you how the food is because they never acknowledged me as a paying customer and I had 5 people to feed which would have easily been close to $100 or more. I don't have time to waste so we left. Terrible service for what I used to know as a good burger place. Don't ignore your customers that's extremely rude. read more

Tina is the best - solid tater tots too. Can't speak on the burgers but the onion rings and tater tots were very crispy

Everyone loves Johnny Rockets! This one is one to not skip! We had the pleasure of being served by Tina who was by far the: BEST waitress, we have ever had anywhere. The FOOD was amazing as always: We ordered their Bacon Cheddar Burgers, Onion Rings, Their shake of the week special and the Chicken Strips. It was clean and we really enjoyed the decor in this spot, after frequenting the one in Carson City their decor was a lot different more Nevada and that location actually ended up closing down & we had been missing the Johnny Rocket experience, then we found this one and boy.... We highly recommend stopping at this location of Johnny Rockets if you are in the Reno/ Tahoe area. read more

Tina was amazing! Super sweet and attentive, made sure we had everything we wanted during our lunch. The cute plate with her name written in ketchup was a special touch that we'll remember :) we will come back and see Tina again! read more

Johnny Rockets - Kids grilled cheese and smokehouse burger - Diners Near Me - Reno, Nevada

My friends and I came here for a small snack after trying out the GSR spa on the spa level. They were not very busy when we went, so we were quickly seated at one of the booths in the back. Our server got our orders in a timely manner. I ordered the cheese fries since I was not too hungry. There was a good amount of cheese on the fries! The fries were average. However, last time when I came here, their burgers and milkshakes are amazing! Definitely come here for the burgers and milkshakes! The interior looked clean. The decor is average for my taste, but it all works cohesively together. There is bar seating you do not like the booths. You can also order for takeout go-to. When they get really busy, it can take a little longer for them to get your food to you. The staff are one of the kindest people and provides great service! read more

Johnny Rockets - Inside - Diners Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I came here craving for a veggie burger and had pretty high hopes for this place. Coming here was a little disappointing. I gave three stars based primarily on the service and not the food. Let me start off by saying that this Johnny Rockets is located inside the Grand Sierra resort hotel. The restaurant does have an entrance on the side where you don't have to enter from the main hotel, but you can also enter from inside the hotel as well. While sitting at the tables, when someone enters or exits the side door, you can feel a huge gust of wind blow in. It was quite chilly where I was sitting. It felt like a freezer door blowing air at me. Parking appears to be plentiful, but on certain days such as holidays, and weekends where there are show events, parking can be quite the challenge, and when it's cold, have fun walking. Service was pretty prompt, and the menu has many options. I ordered two shakes, both vanilla and strawberry. Upom arrival, I found their strawberry shake is basically just the vanilla mixed unwell with strawberry syrup as the bottom of my strawberry shake was still vanilla. They also don't give you the typical extra metal cup when your normally order shakes from a diner. The shake also comes default with whipped cream, so if you don't like it, you need to tell them not to add it on. Unfortunately I found this out kind of late so had to just deal with the whipped cream in my drink. Next my vegi burger was soggy and fell apart right when I picked it up, which was pretty upsetting. The wheat bun ripped and didn't have much flavor. I didn't ask for it, but my vegi burger came with mustard only, which I thought was kind of strange... because it had no other sauce. Their chili tasted like canned chili with fresh cut onions tossed in and cheese. So all in all, I'm not so sure why this place has such good reviews. read more
