I felt that it was in the best interest of fairness to send this thread to Johnny Rockets home office. I went on line and found their "contact us" information. I then went to the "comment" section. It took me 10 minutes to fill out all the information. I took the time to fill it out because I think it's important, but I'm guessing most other individuals would not have spent all the time required to fill out everything on that forum.

The product you ate
The time you ate it
The date you ate it
The location of the store
Comments on the meal.
Your city
Your state
A cross street reference
Was it eat in or carry out
Your name
Your address
Your day phone
Your night phone
How many times do you visit per month?
How much do you normally spend each visit?
How many people were in your party?

Let's see if I get a response. I'll let your know if and when I hear anything.

I've had good and bad at JR's. The burger has been decent every time but the service has been, shall we say, seriously lacking. I haven't gone there in several months and really don't play to return. The last time there the restaurant smelled, the bathroom was semi-clean and the service was beyond bad.

Johnny Rocket's at the mall near our old home in California was a favorite place to stop and eat after shopping. There was nearly always a line but worth the wait.

After my experiences and the comments made here, I'm really afraid to try another one -- at least in Florida. It really is a shame a good chain can be brought down so much just by one bad franchisee.

However, going back to one of the original questions -- I vote for Cane Gardens burgers. Big and juicy. They drip just the way a burger should without being greasy.

Yeah, what happened to Johnnys. It was just a couple of years ago the place was good and now your lucky if you get waited on when there not even busy.. the servers appear to be apathetic. Such a shame the decor and location is perfect for The Villages. Must be management...something has changed..

I did not notice any glaring health code violations or anything like that which would prevent me from going back. I am just not that into greasy burgers anymore.

I just looked at Five Guys' website and they are putting in a new restaurant at US441 and Rolling Acres Rd. 32159.

Good to know. Does anyone know which side of Rolling Acres Road yet?

I got the impression that this will be on the South Side of US 27/441.

Sad about JR's....when they are good, like the one in Ohio, they are very good. I have not eaten in TV location, too many other resturants to try. Sorry to say, I will not even give it a go with these reviews. Another milk shake and fries, I coulda' had....
