Johnny Rockets.... a retro dining experience...

Johnny Rockets was founded on June 6, 1986, by Ronn Teitelbaum of Los Angeles, California, and "crafted as a 'nongimmicky' recreation of the 1940s-vintage malt shops of his childhood."


The theme is the diner-style restaurant that had become a common sight by the 1950s. Decor includes Coca-Cola advertising featuring nearly life-size cardboard illustrations of women in World War II armed services uniforms, individual jukebox stations, chrome accents and red vinyl seats. 

The menu, presentation, counter seating and grilling area are based on an original restaurant from 1947 (still operating today), The Apple Pan, in West Los Angeles, California: A small two-sided menu with few items, hamburgers served wrapped in paper and on cardboard plates, hamburgers grilled-to-order in full view of the counter-seated customers

Making a smiley face with ketchup on the paper plate when served french fries is a Johnny Rockets trademark.

Huda is away on a team-building exercise for a few days with her office- lucky her (sarcasm)!  So Sarah and I decided to treat ourselves to a retro dinner at Johnny Rockets!  I am excited - I just Love the retro look and feel of the place!!!

I must say, the burgers are Delicious!!!!  We had the lot - of course - burgers, fries, salad and milk shakes!!!! Absolutely yummie!!! I just loved that burger.....

We definately ate too much... but it was soooo yummie....
