| - Johnny Rockets inside the Silverton is a good option for a quick and inexpensive bite to eat. I like that they stay open later than the other dining options with the exception of the 24/7 Sundance Grill, but there have been instances where I've come by before closing to find them closed, even having asked a few hours prior when they close. I like to eat late, and I'll set my alarm on my phone to be sure to show up 15 minutes before closing, and it stinks when told "sorry, it just wasn't that busy so we closed early", which means off to the coffee shop I go, or I have to quickly drive somewhere close by that's also closing soon. Keep in mind I'm usually staying at the Silverton, on vacation, and by 11PM, I've tied one on, so hopping in the car isn't so,etching I can do, and a $10 cab ride to the In and Out a mile away is wasted $$$.
The food here is okay. The burger isn't anything special and neither are the fries. Just average fast food that's not cooked until you've ordered it, thus guaranteeing it'll be hot. Where Johnny Rocket's does shine is in the milkshake department, and since it's often very late when I'm ready for a snack, a milkshake is a great treat. I haven't explored the fancy shakes as a vanilla malted is a classic shake in my mind, but there are numerous options which look very appealing.
I wouldn't bother going out of my way to eat here; I guess I actually try to plan my evening so I'm not stuck eating here, but in a pinch it'll do. The shakes, however, are worth it if you are in the mood for a guilty pleasure. Service is perfectly fine, just be sure to check in if you are planning on pushing your visit to right before closing time.
