17 violations in May 17 2023 restaurant inspection. Most restaurants have some violations, it depends on the severity of them.

Ate breakfast there yesterday. Good meal, came out in 7 minutes. I didn't notice the place was filthy. If it was i wouldn't eat there.

Definitely not worth $48.00 for two specialty burgers with cokes, taxes and tip.

It was great when the Sulieman family owned it.

New owner is clueless.

We tried going a couple of months ago and it was dirty.
We walked out and would never go back.

We went there once a few years ago and won’t ever be going back. The only reason we went there was because it was the only place without a long wait. After eating there we knew why we didn’t have to wait.

Johnny Rockets was on the ropes until the Suleimans took it over. They totally cleaned house and made it a viable place to go again.That was the beginning of their restaurant growth in The Villages. A deserved reward for for sure.
Hopefully, someone will step up and repeat that feat.

One of the waitstaff immediately grabbed a couple of menus a moved toward us but we left anyway, telling the waitperson that a fifteen-minute wait for service in an empty restaurant was totally unacceptable, and that we were going somewhere where our business was appreciated. She looked sort of shocked.
If they had a living breathing Mgr might have staff that understands they are in bus to serve customers. Sad

Johnny Rockets is in a great location. But imagine the lease is more than average. Every place needs a little TLC after several years. No excuse for dirt or very poor management in a place serving food. Thankful for health inspectors.

It was our go to breakfast place when the Suiliman family owned it. It was also good for other meals. Ate there right after they sold and the service was terrible. Tried it again this March and won’t be back.
