We no longer have Johnny Rockets back home so it was great to be able to visit. Food was still good as I remember. Even though crowded we didn't have a wait. Reason I gave 4 for atmosphere because person who sat us didn't wipe table so had to wipe it myself and the light fixture in bathroom was hanging which is a safety hazard if someone taller would have walked in bathroom. I did let someone know it was hanging open. I only got burger because it always fills me up. I do like how they did happy face for my son for his fries.

This is a neat 50s style Diner. The staff was friendly. They were quick to greet and wait on you. I was impressed the food came out quickly.

The best fries we had on our trip. We tried The Original and The Bacon Cheddar burgers with chicken patties. The burgers were quite good and fresh, but it was the fries that stole the show. We had both fries and onion rings, and they were absolutely delicious. We also had an Oreo Cookies and Cream shake, which was good as well. We enjoyed the ambiance and the nostalgic vibe of this place!

The last time I was in a Johnny Rockets was years ago when I was in middle school. I can’t even remember where it was, just that it was here in Atlanta. When I saw this one close to the hotel we were staying at, I knew we had to stop in. It was 15 minutes before closing, and the staff that greeted us was friendly and accommodating. We had just arrived in town and hadn’t had dinner yet, so we were very appreciative that they took such great care of us. The food reminded me of what it was like all those years ago, and our toddler and my husband enjoyed their strawberry milkshakes. No complaints whatsoever—definitely stop in if you get the opportunity.

This is the first time I’m eating a Johnny Rocket Burger since 2008. It’s been 17 years. Got a take out: single original burger & ate at the park right outside Georgia Aquarium. Was an employee for Johnny Rockets for over two years from 2006-2008, from Foodbrand to HMSHost. There’s no meals combo available, everything is separate now from sides & drinks. Still one of the best milkshake & burger joint around.

I enjoyed the food. For a non meat eater I enjoyed the Streamliner, a soya burger. I also enjoyed the Vanilla Shake and the Cheese Fries was my favorite. I would definitely visit again when I'm in the ATL
