First time visitor and unfortunately a last time. Service and food are good, but the theme is NOT worth paying $15 for a burger fries and a shake. This is not Disney World. Only idiots or the Bush's could find their prices reasonable. ref: 12108

This is a themed restaurant ppl! If you want cheap food GO TO MCDONALDS! wait then if you do you may sue them for giving you diabetis! you ppl are dumb...the ones that think that a party of 6 can eat for less than 100.00. YOu shouldnt have had such a large group or maybe made some of your children pay or drink water ref: 11533

Johnny Rockets has always been a good place to go - this was my first visit to this location and I wasn't impressed with the wait staff except for our waitress who was the only waitress dressed decent! Get real the manager should not allow his waitresses to wear see through blouses with pink bras or see through mini skirts with thongs! I know this is the beach but this restaurant is suppose to be more family friendly! Not a Vegas club! My visit was on May 30, 2008 and I took some friends for the first time to a Johnny Rocket's - hope they will visit others and realize it was only this location that had improper dressed employees! ref: 11230

I've been going here for years so I thought I'd write a review. The food is good the atmosphere is great but the prices are CRAZY!!! Like most reviewer say it is about $15-20 per person for a hamburger meal. If I lived at MB I'd never eat here value vs price is not good.But I come once a year and my wife and kids like it so I'll pay $40 for lunch. It's a vacation I'm here to have fun! ref: 11127

RIDICULOUS!! Prices are outrageously high! You would think that Wolfgang Puck was behind the counter making the hot dogs for the price they were asking. Ordered a chicken sandwich and received a chicken nugget on a cold and hard sub roll. If you are looking for bad dancers to take your mind off the lousy food this is the place to be. ref: 10268

We love this place and have been coming every summer the last 5 years. We come for the food especially the burgers and of course the dancing. Our kids love seeing the workers dance and have often participated with them outside. We definately think the menu is way over-priced and therefore usually only eat there once in the week we are there. Consider lowering your prices so that others may be able to enjoy this Fun restaurant.

EXCELLENT. The food and shakes were great However the Service was the most outstanding feature. The servers were most attentive and Managers were alway checking to see how we were doing. We will definitely return. We are locals and appreciate great service. Thank you ref: 9255

I have been going to this restaurant for the past 4 years, but this past year, we went just to grab a shake (bc the food is WAY too expensive) bc we love the atmosphere...but in the middle of the day...they werent full, but we had to wait for a long time to be seated, and they sat us in the back so we couldnt see anything, and didnt let us move when we wanted...I ordered a grilled cheese, it took 25 minutes to get it the first time...and it wasnt even grilled. It doesnt take 25 minutes to put cheese on bread and not grill it. Not sure if I'll go back next week when we go back to the beach. ref: 7699

Terrible service - waitress didn't speak english, ordering was a mess. Other tables having same problem, everybody was sending food back. Some kid working there tried table dancing and fell and got hurt, took forever, cost too much, never got all our order, we just put money on table and walked out because we couldn't get a correct bill, some lady was sreaming at the manager....... ref: 7198

Food, service, and atmosphere were good but 6 hamburgers, 6 fries, and 6 Cokes were $100! We will never return. Such a shame too, because the hamburgers were good. ref: 6282

If the prices weren't so unreasonable, we would come more often. When it first opened, it was fun to watch the employees dance--which was part of the draw--but most do it now as if a gun is pointed at their head. You can tell they are miserable doing it.
If you'd reduce your prices, you'd bring in more repeating local traffic year round rather than trying to live off the revenue you receive from overcharging the naive tourists once a year. ref: 6141

The restaurant theme is fun. The malts are excellent. I had a hot dog and fries that were average. My husband felt the same about his burger and fries. Our bill was $29! The prices are insane! I don't mind to pay more for quality food, but for hamburgers and hot dogs! You've got to be kidding me! ref: 5793

This place is great for a hamburger, fries/onion rings, and a milk shake. It's usually crowded around lunch time and dinner time, but you'll be seated pretty quick in between then. The service is ok, but everyone's really nice and polite. ref: 5428

We were seated immediately upon arriving but it took about 20 minutes for our meal to arrive which consisted of 2 drinks and 2 Patty Melt sandwitches. The sandwiches were GREASY beyond belief and barely warm. The meat covered LESS than half of the bread and had more the taste of sausage than fresh hamburger. It was apparent that the servers were not well supervised. They were congregated in small groups, chatting with each other and did not present the neatest appearance for servers. Our true openion is that this restaurant is in need of a management wakeup and the supervisors and servers need some serious training. This was an unfortunate experience because prior visits at this and the Johnny Rockets at Barefoot landing were very pleasant experiences. ref: 5298

Food and service is just OK....prices are high and more than I want to spend when eating with the family. Atmosphere is nostalgic, but not worth the over-priced and under-portioned menu items. Stop by and look in the windows to enjoy that 50's look! Then go somewhere else to eat to get your money's worth.

Agree with the previous reviews...cute atmosphere, food good, but expensive! Don't really know why, certainly nothing fancy in this place. The chocolate peanut butter shake was good though! ref: 4345

I understand the atmosphere of this establishment and know about the dancing and such but, I went there about 3 weeks ago, (after labor day) and waited almost 20 minutes to be seated. No lie, 6 people looked at me and my friend (who is very pregnant) but did not even seat us. The worst part is I am a local. Establishments like this rely on local business in the winter time to get them through and should think very carefully about how they serve their customers. Bad word of mouth spreads fast!!! ref: 3982

We went here for lunch 8/30/06. My 2 teenage daughters absolutely *loved* this place. The waiters/waitresses dance in sync during certain songs, and really get into it. They were dancing on ledges next to the booth and the kids really got a kick out of it. The waiter even got everyone to join him for a second song per my daughter's request. The service was above average and our waiter really seemed to enjoy working there. The burgers were really good and the atmosphere takes you back to a 50's diner. The price is the only reason we didn't return during our stay: 2 burgers, 3 orders of french fries and 3 drinks cost $40.00. It's worth going once for the experience but expect it to be a bit pricey. ref: 3729

My three little guys love the atmosphere, but that is what you are paying for. You will get better food at most fast food burger places. The service was very good, but the food mediocre and the prices too high. Avoid the chili bowl...looks great on the menu, actual product does not measure up. ref: 3687
