About a year ago we visited Johnny Rockets and it was pretty dirty with buns on the floor, food laying out etc. We decided we would never go back.
Today I thought it would be good to go in at lunch time and order something to see if things have changed since I understand it is under new management. The good news is that it appeared to be much cleaner and there were plenty of servers.
Here is what happened with my order, etc. I ordered a hot dog, a grilled cheese sandwich and fries. The results were: (a) the order for a Hot Dog was never included, (b) the grilled cheese was just warmed up bread, not toasted and terrible and (c) the fries were "commercial".
Given it appears they did significant work to clean the restaurant up it is a shame they did not concentrate on the food more. If they would have gone to a place like the Light House they would have seen how they could have made better fries. There was no excuse for the grilled cheese. If they would just have ordered one and then determined it was terrible it could have been improved with little work. I disregard the lack of including my order for a hot
dog as the server was young and talking to another server and just missed the order. That can happen anywhere. I don't think we will be going back for awhile as there still seems to be a lack of attention to quality. I am sure Chef Ramsey would have torn the manager apart for serving the grilled cheese as they did and the fries as though they came out of a freezer bag.
Oh well..at least we tried..!!
