Johnny Rockets

After hearing all of the great feedback on a great burger restaurant, Johnny Rockets, by my friends I decided to see what all the hype was about. I went in open minded expecting the burgers to be "outta town!" Unfortunately this was not the case. First my friends and I were seated in the middle of an overcrowded patio with zero sunlight. The lack of sunlight made the place cold and uninviting. After what seemed like hours, the waiter finally arrived and asked what we would like to drink. He then took about 20 more minutes to arrive with our drinks and take our order. Since I had never been to this restaurant, I had no clue what to order and neither did my friend. Our waiter then gave us a "few" minutes to decide and then came back. We ordered our food and after a long wait it finally arrived. We ordered some chili cheese fries to share and a couple of burgers. However, our burgers did not arrive with our chili fries. The fries were somewhat cold and the chili covering them was very bland. When our burgers finally arrived they seemed very tasteful. However, when I took that first bite I found out looks could be deceiving. The "special" sauce in the burger was awfully bitter and had an odd taste to it. Furthermore, the patty had no seasoning on it and was a little to pink for my taste. Johnny Rockets has no future in my top 10 burger restaurants. With their poor service, mediocre food, and high prices I cannot see myself ever wanting to go back there for lunch. However, I will give them this Johnny Rockets has a unique vibe to their restaurant. The whole fifties, jukebox style has a good feel to it. Now if only the had food to match.
