Johnny Rockets is an all American diner that serves everything from burgers, chili dogs, fries, chocolate malts, ice cream and brownies. I fell in love with the chili dog, which is quoted as being 'Nathan’s Famous® all-beef hot dog with our exclusive all-meat chili, chopped onions and grated cheddar cheese.' I couldn't finish it as it was far too big, and a little too greasy, but the chili had a nice meat content and a great cumin kick. My partner had a Philly Cheese Steak which was once again too greasy but indulgent and a once a month sort of affair. We then shared a Chocolate Malt, which was to die for. It was all pretty cheap, slightly higher than a Mcdonalds but rightly so because it's much better.The restaurant in itself was opened in 1986 in LA and soon expanded. Today you'll find them all over the world. They pander to a gimmick of all American diner style, with jukeboxes on tables and proper feel good all American nostalgic atmosphere.
It's worth going at least once to get a sense of the place, because it's fun and very American.
