Let me clarify...had a hamburger and shake..they bought out the extra shake in a Glass..everything appeared clean. Yes the place was fairly crowded and for my "two" cents" I had a good lunch. I fully understand the OP concerns but my experience was different and sorry I could not "pile on" to meet your expectations. Suggest you lighten up!

She called the server over and he simply said, "I'll get you another". My wife told him, "What if I had a peanut allergy". He didn't answer. Later, the manager came by to ask how our lunch was and my wife told him about her shake. He said, "Did they get you another"? No explanation from anyone as to why there was peanut butter in a vanilla shake.

I eat there a minimum of once a week and have never had a problem of any sort. Sorry your experience was bad. I'd give it another shot.

If I go there and order a shake I'll be certain to inspect the metal container, as I have a peanut allergy. Fortunately, it is not life-threatening, at least so far, but still causes swelling, shortness of breath, and retching.

I know my grandson only can go to certain restaurants.

In Ohio the other weekend, we were seated at a Bob Evans restaurant to order a meal with my son and his family. My son noticed a change on the menu that offered peanut butter on pancakes. As my one grandson is highly allergic to peanut butter, my son felt that the risks of cross contamination were too great so we left to eat at another place. I feel sorry for all those that suffer from an allergy that can turn deadly if precautions are not taken. Jonnie Rockets is off the list of safe places when my grandsons visit.

This is a big worry. I hope someone notified the owner of that Johnny Rocket's about this thread? Johnny Rockets | Contact Us

I would think they should have a notice posted stating that this establishment serves peanut products. Almost anything one buys these days has a notice about products being made in a factory processing nuts.
