Editorial Review for Johnny Rockets – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
Vintage Coca-Cola ads and posters of Life magazine covers succinctly summon up the 1950s, as do this diner's mini-jukeboxes, red vinyl counter stools and sock-hopping staff. Besides fast food staples like hot dogs, cheeseburgers, tuna melts and onion rings, options like the Streamliner (a grilled veggie patty) acknowledge more modern dietary concerns. Even better for kids, sandwiches come wrapped in paper jackets and nearly everything is served on paper plates. No spills. No breaks. No tears.

I have eaten here once at peak tourist season, but have passed by it several times when shopping or headed elsewhere. It has a sodashop-retro diner decor, we had a courteous server, it's an easy dine and go place with good food and it was reasonably priced. They really put on a show...literally...the staff can be seen doing a little singing/dancing number through the restaurant and into the mall. Cute! Not expected and it draws the crowd. Highly recommended for price & value. Will eat here again!
Pros: Ambience, food, service, all around value
Cons: Usually full, may have to wait, but speedy service & worth it

Might take a while to get seated, since the mall is a busy place. The atmosphere is great... you can people watch and it feels old-fashioned like it should. The waitresses dance every 30 minutes or so and the lights go down which adds to the great atmosphere! The food is a little pricey for a "soda shop" and all of the sides cost extra (they never come with the main foods). The atmosphere and the great sandwiches makes up for the prices though.
Pros: Great food, atmosphere, people-watching
Cons: A tad pricey, sides cost extra, wait time
