Default Johnny Rockets Lake Sumter

Went there after golf today and was very disappointed with both the service and the food.

Cheeseburger was undercooked. Spoke to the Owner and he was not fazed at all.

When an Owner is not concerned about undercooked food being served than who is?

Best to stay away from there and get a great cheeseburger from the food truck at Edna’s!

Always love Johnny Rockets. Never an issue but sometimes the line can get a bit long.

We were at Sumter Landing this morning and walked past J.Rockets twice and both times the outer patio area was absolutely full with people waiting to sit and plenty of people inside.

If Edna's suits you better, eat there.

Edna's isn't at Sumter Landing. Why would someone wanting a good burger at Sumter Landing, go all the way to the other side of 44? They can find decent burgers right in Sumter Square that isn't Johnny Rocket's if that's their goal.

The service has always been slow and the place has bad acoustics, so hard on the ears. Since your at the square and there usually the band playing outside, it's gonna be loud one way or another. To go Edna's I have to drive 10 miles past my home. You could stop a Mallory CC or Havana and have a hamburger on the patio, way closer than below 44.

I like Gator's Dockside steak & cheese subs. Grilled onions, peppers and mushrooms, cheese (usually American but I prefer provolone), and I get it with lettuce, tomato, and a smidge of mayo.

Why bash a restaurant cause your meal was a little undercooked. Just ask the waitress to have the cook place your burger on the grill for another minute. BTW, we are talking about a burger joint, right?

I prefer to go Gator's Dockside for their wings. Weekdays unadvertised lunch special, six wings and fries $7.99 or 10 wings, fries, Blue Cheese plus drink for $10.99, add celery for 75 cents. Once I find a great steak sub, I don't go anywhere else. I've learned all the best places for everything I would want.

Mayo on steak sandwich? They shoot people for less.

Sorry Stu from Manhattan, but this plate is a precursor to a cardiac arrest

Actually, in Philly, a “cheesesteak hoagie” comes with mayo, lettuce and tomatoes.
Jersey Mikes is a solid Italian hoagie (unfortunately not golf cart accessible).

Default Cheese steak

Jersey Mike’s is and always has been golf cart accessible here in the Villages. Not sure where you live?

I live near brownwood - I don’t think the JM on 466A is golf cart accessible. I didn’t know about the one by SS.
