Johnny Rockets: Free coffee
 
Johnny Rockets is offering free coffee every morning. I think it's from 8 to 10am. And you don't have to buy anything! Yahoo! Hey, let's get a TOTV group together (let's say about 50 people) and go there for the free coffee after we have breakfast at home. Here's the plan: We drink the free coffee and leave. That's it. Are you with me?

P.S. Just to show we are not cheap, we'll leave a 20% tip! Let's see, what's 20% of nothing?

:wave:

Not even funny::confused::confused:: It is a good jester on Jonny Rockets part.

When Johnny Rockets first opened, the food was good and so was the service. It has changed "hands" I think more than once. Sounds like they are trying again to get some business----I assume under new management and maybe ownership. I'll give them another try! My bet is the FREE coffee won't last long.

There was a nice article in the Daily Sun recently covering the new ownership. As a customer I feel they have done a great job in turning around the restaurant.
The free coffee is a promo like all promo's......would anyone think it would last forever?

We tried breakfast there and the results were food was good, but kitchen lost our order and we had to after 1/2 hour ask for it. We chalked this up to new experience for them and may try it again. Eating on the patio and people watching was great. Other than Johnny Rockets if you want eggs and potatoes, or bacon etc. then in LSL there is only 2-Jays. 2-Jays has good food and prices, but we don't like that hurry up, eat, and get out of there atmosphere. Actually we prefer the quiet, calm, relaxed atmosphere of Sunrise Café in Southern Trace.

It is a nice gesture on Johnny Rockets part and hopefully brings in more customers. We had breakfast there yesterday and the food was good but very limited menu. They need some healthy selections like fruit or whole grain english muffins or sliced tomatoes. Everything comes with home-fried potatoes.

I agree. A couple of years ago I passed by and asked for a sample menu. When I saw what was on it I never ate there. And, by the way, I don't plan on going for the free coffee as I am not a coffee drinker.

Pretty shrewd....but I like it.

mikeandnancy1112 06-05-2012 06:18 PM

We agree! We like Sunrise very much. Bob Evans is still our all time favorite, though.

mikeandnancy1112 06-05-2012 06:20 PM

Athens in Spanish Springs is great too. With their breakfast special of 3.99 you get free coffee.

asianthree 06-05-2012 06:56 PM

:mornincoffee: needs to be good coffee

Posh 08 06-06-2012 03:27 AM

I'll try their breakfast in a couple of weeks.

graciegirl 06-06-2012 04:43 AM

I hear the breakfast at Bonifay is good too. I love coffee. I read just recently that large studies about coffee consumption seem to support it is good for you. BUT I would drink it anyway. The best part of wakin' up is Folgers in your cup.

We had a great breakfast at SonRise too.

I am surprised we haven't yet had a thread on smoking.

I don't smoke but I don't preach about it either.

rhall1644 06-07-2012 09:49 AM

No doubt you will get takers that behave the same way you do.

Posh 08 06-07-2012 09:56 AM

What is on the breakfast menu?

crackerdog1 06-07-2012 04:51 PM

crackerdog1 06-07-2012 04:53 PM

At LSL tonight there was a young man walking through the square dressed in a large milkshake costume with "Johnny Rockets" written on it. That got me to chuckle. I remarked to my friend that he's probably glad it was lightly raining and the temp. was not 90 degrees.

Posh 08 06-19-2012 08:14 AM

Had breakfast there today. 2 eggs, bacon, potatoes, toast. Free coffee. If you have four breakfast in a row the fifth day is free. Briana was the server. Very nice.

You can press the little yellow button on the right side of the post and type this to the moderator.

You are probably right.

I shouldn't have typed it.

Someone came on in support of the vegan diet who smokes and I really, really, feel that our health is governed by all of our habits. Not eating when we're full, not eating when we're nervous, stop smoking, eating smaller portions, and eating more vegetables and fruits, moving our bodies around more than we used to will all improve our health. I guess I was challenging you because I do NOT believe that your way of eating is the only healthy way of living our lives.

I am sorry if I hurt you or made you angry. I know you mean well, but I doubt if you....or me will change anyone's mind.

Personal dispute???? Poster offers opinion on two other places to have breakfast. And comments on smoking. I don't think it should be deleted.
