| - It's like I'm living in my own television episode of "Happy Days"
When I first went to a Johnny Rockets, it was about twenty years ago, at Pentagon City Mall in Arlington Virginia. I now live in Las Vegas, Nevada and have for the last ten years.
"Heeyyy !! "
When I first went to Johnny Rockets, service was great, food was very satifying. The jukeboxes, one per table, one for every two seats at the bar, they all worked.
It's like I had "Found my thrill on Blueberry Hill".
Several weeks ago my family, close friends, and myself went to the Flamingo casino and ate at the Johnny Rockets there.
I left feeling like Al Delvecchio from Happy Days: "Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep."
Just a few short days ago, my wife and two daughters went to the Johnny Rocket's at Fashion Show Mall here in Las Vegas, Nevada, the time was around 6:00-6:30pm. The place was maybe a quarter full.
Our server never introduced himself. No name tag. Kids wanted to, so we sat at the bar. One sat down and discovered that there were over a dozen ketchup bottle in front of her. Looked like the ketchup bottles were there to be refilled.
When we sat down, we were told that the jukeboxes won't work, they're just for decoration. When did this happen?
We ordered food and drinks at the same time. It took over five minutes to deliver the drinks. Mind you the drink fountain was a mere 10 to 15 feet from when I sat.
It's an open kitchen at Johnny Rockets, you can easily watch your food being prepared. You can easily watch your being placed in a prep area where it can be picked up by the server.
"Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep."
You will also wait another five good minutes to be served your food. MY 7 YEAR OLD COULD HAVE SERVED IT QUICKER !
The bacon on my hamburger was burnt. My 9 year old daughter, had bacon on her burger as well. When asked, she said hers was burnt too.
Just like the television show Happy Days, what once was a great place lost its charm. Somehow I feel like someone just stopped caring. Somewhere, sadly, Johnny Rockets has jumped the shark.
