Although we found JR's to be quite good after the change in management Steak n Shake beats them by a mile!

I think the new JR management is doing a much better job than before. Yes, I believe 5 Guys could co-exist and would be a good competition. May the best food and service win or co-exist. I like JR's combo slider and occasional root beer float or milk shakes.

Wish I had a JR near me. I went to JR when I lived in TV area and I enjoyed the food and service.:coolsmiley: :coolsmiley:

I had a cheeseburger, french fries and milkshake and everything was great. The service was excellent. I have no complaints and will go back. I am surprised to hear that the food was cold or bad from other customers. When I was there, everyone was happy and enjoying the food and service.

You can order your french fries, extra crispy and also tell them you want the bread toasted to your specifications. If it's not right tell them and get a do-over! They can't know unless they're told.

Have visited twice recently and it was clean, food was good and the service even better.

I prefer Cody's at Lake Sumter Landing to Johnny Rocket. At Cody's, you can sit at the bar, eat free peanuts, have a $1.99 bar burger (excellent) and two pints of beer for $3 during happy hour which is from opening until 7 pm.

So, for $5 you can have a great lunch with much less fat and grease than Johnny Rocket.

My favorite is now Steak and Shake. Better all around with out getting to details. JR with the original mgt. was our favorite

We also had had a bad experience at J.R. several years ago. Gave it another try and was pleasantly surprised ! Good food, very clean and great staff !

2 JR Visits at TV, a few at Sea!
 
We've visited the JR at Sumter Landing twice, before new management took over - each time it was about average, nothing special, certainly not worth a special trip to get a burger. The few times we've eaten in JR while cruising, the food seemed a little better -fresher. With so many burgers options around here...when we really get a craving for a burger treat, our choice is usually 5 Guys. We really like the burgers at Palmer, Cane Garden and Glenview too. Oh, and have yet to see any entertainment in JR's in TV as they do often during the cruise.
