Review: Well Johnny Rocket's maybe you need to lower your prices. Looks like majority rules and your prices are too high. Food might be good but when a customer pays too much, the customer's tend to stay away. I know you can do it. Lower your prices and the customer's will return.

Review: Ugh. How to rate Johnny Rockets....hmm. We expected a lot more, let's put it that way.

The food was decent...not great, not oustanding...just average. Drinks were okay, service was average/good. Atmosphere is pretty cool and fun. But it's a horrible value. The check was something like $40 just for the three of us - me, wife, teenage daughter, for a burger/fries/drink each.

Themed restaurants in general seem to be pricey, especially at the beach - but you really expect a lot more in terms of food quality and portion. There was absolutely nothing that made us want to ever return again, particulary since there are so many restaurants in Myrtle Beach that are very good and have a much better value for your dollar (hint - Five Guys burgers, Chilis, River City Cafe)...

So overall, it's a nicely themed restaurant, but that's about the only good thing I can say.

Review: I've eaten here twice; once with my daughter when we were on a 'girl's weekend' and once with the whole family a couple of years ago. We are headed back to MB this summer and will likely go there because the kids think it is the best...Mom and Dad aren't as crazy about it. The food is way overpriced and after you see the dancing waiters once, it's just never quite as cool the next time. What can I say, I'm an old fogey; but the kids will probably drag us back again this year.

Review: Tried this restaurant the last time I visited Myrtle Beach. Liked the atmosphere-- didn't think the food was better than average. Prices are considerably ABOVE average.

Review: We've eaten here a few times, but i'll have to agree that they are way over priced. This year we took our 2 grandkids while their mommy and daddy were out celebrating their anniversary. You'll do anything for the grandkids, so the price wasn't an issue. The food was good and served hot. The t-shirts were the best deal. Two for 9.99! I love the atmosphere and music... reminds me of the "old days". Too bad the prices don't reflect that too...

Review: This should tell you something; $5 for a plain milkshake, add .49 for any add ins. If you are willing to pay $10 for two mediocre milkshakes (that remind me of Burger King shakes-the taste was similar to a powdered shake, not handdipped as the menu stated) this place is for you. It is more appealing from the outside.

Review: We visited this place and prob. would not go again. It's a great place with good music and entertainment, but almost 60.00 for 4 burgers and 2 fries and 4 sodas?

Review: Our visit was during our yearly vacation to Myrtle Beach. We wanted to eat there last year but ran out of time. This year we made plans to eat there, but after being there our hopes of a good meal and fun time were quickly deflated. The service was fair our waitress took care of us just fine. The noise level was a bit too high for my family. The food was average tasting. The price of our bill just floored us though. For our party of four it topped out just over $49 for three milk shakes, two deli sandwiches, and two orders of french fries, and one soft drink! Sorry, but never again. McDonalds will do just fine next time.

Review: Cool restaurant but I dont think we will return. The food was just average and way over priced. If you like old fashioned hamburgers go to Wendy's or Sonic. You are just paying for the theme and atmosphere. The music was so loud we had a hard time speaking with the server.

Review: My husband and I and out 2 boys ate here while on vacation last summer. It seemed like a relaly cool place to eat and figured the kids would love it. We were very dissatisified with the food and even more dissatisified with the prices. This place is WAY to expensive for what you get. I thought for the price of a hamburger it would come with fries but the serves informed me that the price was for the burger only. I then saw the price of $2.99 for a order of fries. I assumed for that price, one order would be a hefty size for two small children. I was wrong, it wasthe size of a McDonald's small order. I will not be going back there again for sure.

Review: Thought the restaurant looked interesting, but then discovered that the prices are far too high! A hot dog, two hamburgs and a soda, all for $23...not a deal! We will never eat there again.

Review: Johnny Rockets is a really fun place to eat, and the burgers are good, but the prices are waaaaaaay too high.

My kids loved the dancing waiters, but I wouldn't go back.

Review: We ate here a couple years ago with my wife and two kids. The atmosphere attracted us into it with 50's style grille, soda fountain place. They had juke box selections right at table. Prices were way too high though. We won't go back there.

Review: It was fun with the waiters dancing and the music. The prices though are too high. A cup of drink was 2.39, burgers were like 6-8 for 1, the fries were 2.99 more. If they would come down on prices it a very good place.

Review: My daughter and I actually ate at the Johnny Rockets at Broadway at the Beach a couple of summers ago. It is way too expensive for burgers and fries. The T-shirts were a good buy though. We won't go back.

Review: On vacation we tryed Johnny Rockets, we walked away spending $60 on 3 burgers and an order of chicken nuggets. My two sons did have shakes. Not a value for lunch in my book.

Review: My family & I stumbled across Johnny Rockets a few years ago and can't wait to visit again when we come back to Myrtle Beach again this year. The atmosphere was light. The employee's were so entertaining and friendly. We enjoyed it because it was not the same ole same ole. It was nice to go someplace different and unique! My children are teens and preteens and still talk about our visit there to this day. I highly recommend!

Review: We tried Johnny Rockets a few years ago, and it was not a great experience. My food was okay, nothing to write home about! My wife had a chili dog, that she could not eat. Since I have a cast iron stomach, I decided that I would eat it for her. It was the worst, I've ever eaten, and I was sick as a dog, the rest of the day!! Others have eaten there and liked it, but never again for us!! I did enjoy the music though!!
