    This is a review for the Johnny Rockets inside of Kennywood. The service was extremely slow. There was only one cashier and he rang up our drinks wrong on the receipt and we didn't realize until they delivered them he rang up a coffee and an unsweetened tea and we ordered a Pepsi and a brisk iced tea. We couldn't get our drinks fixed since they were rang up wrong in the first place. The food was really expensive for what you got. Our total came to almost sixty dollars. I got the smokehouse burger it was ok it was really dry though and the bacon was very over cooked. The burger could have used more sauce or something since it was so dry. I don't think I'd try this place inside Kennywood again maybe at another location.

    The original burger and large size fries.

    Placing the order was a breeze and didn't expect the prices to be as high as they were. The original burger and large fries and a kids size milkshake was $16.00. The burger was "ok". It was smothered in mustard and pickles, onions etc. It was tasty but not worth the price. I thought the fries would be like shoestring fries but they were not. I ordered the "large" size and expected there to be more. The small size must be really small. I think the restaurant is a nice touch at Kennywood. It was nice to sit in air conditioning and use a restroom that didn't smell like a gym locker room or was hot. The service was good and there was plenty of seating. The food was ok - but doubt I would be back the prices are just too above average for me.

    Inside cool air

    Johnny Rockets is a chain restaurant that is modeled after the 50s style jukebox days. They have the old fashioned record player selection at each table and at the counter so you can select what you want to hear. No cost to it but no guarantee either that the song you picked might be played. Occasionally, some of the staff will come out and do a "dance' to a classic tune. It is air conditioned to get out of the heat. My daughter and I were seated at the counter. She ordered a foot long with chili and cheese. I settled for a chicken salad. Service was a bit slow but they were quick to bring it out when ready. My daughter enjoyed her meal because she was hungry. I found that my chicken was a bit tough and the greens it sat on pretty much the same way. Normally i would have sent it back but since we wanted to enjoy the park I ate it. They do specialize in shakes and floats but we didn't have the time for them. On the plus side service was good and our waitress attentive. I did find if you look around the perimeter around the the ceiling you will find various pictures of Kennywood in yesteryears.

    Expensive burgers, delivered in a paper bag thrown on your table by a surly uncommunicative young man who didn't bring the rest of the order. Had to go to counter to ask after the drinks. Discovered the burger was stone cold and returned it to total confusion of eight children behind the counter. Stood there waiting for new burger which was barely recognizable as the type I ordered. What a crappy experience. Just because we adults at a kid park doesn't mean we want crappy food and surly service. I hope you review training procedures with these staff, particularly the kid bringing out the food -- and why aren't we given plates when we eat in the restaurant??

    Our family at Johnny Rocket's today.

    I would probably give this 4.5 stars if I could. Not because anything was wrong, just because I…read morewent with a standard breakfast that met expectations but left little opportunity to be extraordinary. The scrambled eggs were uniquely flat but good. The bacon was thin, but it was delicious (and they gave more than two pieces, so it was plenty). The home fries were pretty standard. Italian toast was well toasted and buttered. I found it odd that they gave ketchup packets instead of a bottle, but this is a Greek owned restaurant, and maybe ketchup isn't prevalent in Greek culture. My son got Greek eggs Benedict, which had Gyro meat. I tasted a bit of the meat, and it was awesome. Definitely something to consider on a future visit or maybe for lunch. Not huge inside, so large parties could be tricky. There were five of us, and it looked like only one table could accommodate a larger party, but it was available with no wait. There was only one server, so I was worried that the service would be slow, but she did a great job. The restaurant was only around half full at the time. I saw comments in other reviews about the waitress being rude. I'm not sure if ours was the same person, She had a very monotone voice and direct demeanor (probably partially due to being the only server and trying to be as efficient as possible) and I can understand how some people might perceive this as rude. We had zero problem with her. She was very nice and attentive, and she offered a bit of small talk as I was paying at the register.

    Good basic breakfast in a cute, clean, bright little diner environment. Service was quick and…read moreserver was friendly and very efficient. Both scrambled eggs and omelet were browned, which is not my favorite. Not bad in the gyro omelet, but as scrambled it just translates as overcooked and sloppy. Quality overall, though, was good and I'd go back for the omelet and home fries.

The staff couldn't be friendlier; they make you feel like a regular even if it's your first time walking in. Even if you're just stopping by for a quick coffee, it's worth it. And the pepperoni rolls? A must-grab to go. Seriously, don't leave without one (or two or a dozen ;) ). This place just has that warm, small-town charm that keeps you coming back.

    MY FAVORITE BREAKFAST IN PITTSBURGH/THE STATE/AND 2ND OF ALL TIME…read more Everything here was fucking perfect and it was just all staple diner food in the best version possible. Absolutely nothing crazy (minus the French toast) that is just NAILED. And THE PRICES are so awesome The Hot Mess. Massive, loaded and delicious. That's not an omelette either.. that's their scrambled eggs loaded with potatoes and smothered it their insane sausage gravy. The biscuits with it. Right out the oven fresh, so soft, not dry in the slightest and honestly didn't even need anything on it. The corned beef hash was probably the best I've had. I never had it was such a great crisp/crunch to it. That is my new standard for corned beef hash The pancakes. The best in Pittsburgh and my top 3-5 of all time. I hate the hotcake style which you see in Pittsburgh MINUS the crisp with it. But I don't want that throughout the entire thing, I still want my fluff. This delivered that PERFECTLY. Great crisp on just the edges and the fluff in the middle. Absolutely perfect THE BOSTON CREME FRENCH TOAST. My second favorite breakfast item I've gotten in Pittsburgh. You will rarely see me get French Toast unless it's recommended a decent bit or just looks nuts. THIS is my favorite French toast I've had and I hate Boston Creme 90% of the time. It always gets too overfilled, and too sweet of a custard. NOT HERE. The chocolate topping was perfect, not just a basic syrup people buy at the store that is so overpowering. Can 1000% tell homemade. The custard had the perfect amount of sweet ratio for amount they give Warning it's small inside with minimal seating and you will have to wait. I drove 50 for it and waited 35 for a table. I would drive 2 hours and wait another 2. I will be returning numerous times ESPECIALLY when they have the Bear Claw Pancake Special

From the second we walked in, the atmosphere was so charming and nostalgic, right down to the unbelievably reasonable prices. It's the kind of spot that instantly makes you feel comfortable and keeps you entertained the entire time you're there. We sat at the bar and were greeted right away with coffee and water while we looked over the menu. One of the coolest parts was being able to watch the food being prepared right in front of us - the entire vibe of the room felt lively, authentic, and honestly hilarious at times. Between the conversations, the energy behind the counter, and the overall ambiance, it genuinely felt like dinner and a comedy show wrapped into one. We ordered the vegetable omelet and the pancake special, and both came out piping hot and absolutely delicious. Everything tasted homemade, fresh, and comforting in the way classic breakfast spots should. You can tell this place has character, heart, and a loyal following for a reason. This is truly one of those spots that deserves way more attention and is 100% worth stopping into if you're in the area. And if you're a fan of Mayor of Kingstown, you definitely need to check this place out!
