    We came here wanting a shake and they were out of ice cream .. it was still day light , so we were very disappointed. The kid who took and gave the order this day wasn't at his most attentive as we asked for it a specific way, noted on the receipt.. but he was eager to have the cook remake it. That was good but it slowed down the time it took to get my friends food. Later while eating, an off the clock employee came in, kinda rowdy and went behind the counter basically to the cook. I wasn't a fan of that as I didn't see him wash hands but I did see him touch things at the cooking station .. There are restrooms and it was just my party inside.. but I don't think I'd be back to this location PS : I ordered my food from the Ramen spot next door : SUPER DELICIOUS

    Garlic parm wings - 10 pieces- very ugly looking
    Sanny C.

    It been so long since I had Johnny Rockets. The first time was dine in at another location. It was a good experience. I was hesitant to order wings here. Not sure why. However, I had a deal for wings so decided to order for pick up. The packaging was good. We were hoping the wings would be good. I had a disgusting face when I opened the box. Must be some cheap wings or old wings. I dunno. I tried some. The garlic parm tasted different from normal wings places. It wasn't bad but for sure ain't the best. The lemon pepper wings were not good at all. Wings were somewhat juicy and didn't taste old. Very little sauces in both boxes. We were only given one bag of blue cheese. We requested for ranch. Anyways...these wings looked very unappetizing. We didn't finish. I will definitely NOT return.

    The chilly dog was made really well. The cook was super friendly and did a great job.

    Ugh. I don't like to write negative posts. But this place was disappointing. I was randomly craving a shake and had gone next door to pick up ramen for lunch the next day. I came here and ordered a shake and a hotdog. The employee was glued to his phone, young kid. HE was so checked out, the cook noticed and came for my order. The cook was waaay friendlier than the actual dude running the register. I gave him my order and then the kid walked over to me after this. He rang me up while still watching something on his phone. He started my shake and halfway through, I noticed how dirty the shake area was and it was super gross. The cook brought over my chilly dog. When I got my shake I was too grossed out to even have it. The pots and blender top was filthy and stacked with ice cream messy all over the sink for people to see. I had already paid, and I didn't wanna make a scene or deal with a refund, I just won't go back. And by reading here I can see it's a big problem. Bummer. The chilly dog was good though and the cook was great.

    Sign says they close at 7:30pm. It's 7:07. Why are they close. No one here. Already cleaned and closed for the night. So disappointed. Really wanted a burger

    Chicken Club Sandwich

    I came during lunch time and it was pretty empty so service was quick. The cashier was super occupied with her phone and didn't seem to want to be bothered though. I ordered a chicken sandwich and it was actually pretty solid. Tasted very fresh and served very hot! I was surprised that it was tasty lol. I would request sauce next time if they offer any options.

    Solid place for burgers, fries and shakes! Cutely decorated as a 1950s themed diner. Current promotion is the Chocolate "Dirt" Milkshake. During September, Happy Hour for this spooky treat is 2PM-5PM, buy one, get one 50% off. -Friendly & Good Customer Service -Very Clean Indoor & Outdoor Seating -Plenty of free parking in the Kohl's shopping center. You don't want to miss this deal! Bring a friend, and don't forget to tell'em that Rosemary sent ya

    Haven't been to a Johnny Rockets for ages. Not sure why we decided to stop in to satisfy our craving for burgers. 2 burgers, 2 drinks, an order of fries and onion rings came out to be a whopping $53!! That's seems outrageous for fast food burgers. Furthermore, the burgers seemed much smaller than what I remembered. The quality of the food was also mediocre at best. A similar meal at In-and-Out costs about $20 with much better quality. I gave them an extra star for the outstanding service and attitude of the server, Francisco. I wish all restaurant staff are like him.

    The food here is good, but the service is bad cause he didn't give me the small plate with ketchup on it, but the ambiance here is good

    chocolate shake

    Background On Visit: Missed having Johnny Rockets food and had this craving for a milkshake. I decided to go on the day of their grand opening Floor Plan: Thought it was okay, but feels kinda uncomfortable sitting at the communal long table next to the line where you order. I get that there isn't much room so they had to maximize the space that they have. Credit Card: They're accepted Restroom: Yes, restroom is available. Parking: A shared parking lot with other business in the back. Ambiance/Decor: Ambiance was alright with 1940's vintage feel. Wasn't born in the 40's, but in the movies it does look kinda sorta like it. There aren't many tables and seats inside, but their are communal tables outside. It would be nice if they would a real jukebox to play some tunes and have the staffers dance like the old location at the Santa Anita mall (The mall is now called, The Shops of Santa Anita. Order Of Operation: 1) Get in line and pay at the register 2) Go to a table, place your number at the table, and wait for a staffer to bring you your food. As for to-go orders, just stand anywhere that has some space to wait for your order. Service: Service was alright for the most part. Felt a little off putting when the staffer behind the register asked if I would like to tip. Food came out at a decent time and the staffer (Jolene) provided more ketchup by drawing a smiley face on the plate. I realized after I finished my meal that they forgot to give me my chocolate milkshake I ordered. I had a hard time finding Jolene to tell her about it that I went to the counter instead and talked to the person at register. Eventually, I got the milkshake. Food Of Choice: I ordered the original double cheeseburger and fries. Thought it was okay. Milkshake was very good. Food For Thought: Wouldn't mind coming back for another chocolate shake when I have a craving for it.

    Firstly, the food was absolutely delicious. We received our burgers and they were cooked perfectly. You could squeeze the burger and fat was still oozing out of the patty. It tasted phenomenal and was not undercooked. The service was quick and efficient. Our food was brought to us promptly. There is a relaxed atmosphere to the restaurant with a sense like you're back in the 50's diner enjoying a burger. There was a QR code to vote for the soundtrack for the music playing in the restaurant. P.S. Our cashier made a Oreo Milkshake for some other customers and he decided to let us have it as a sample because the customers that bought the milkshake didn't want the excess.. It was awesome ! The shake was freaking delicious.

    Grilled Chicken Sandwich

    Location and Parking- this resturant is CLEANNN. SQUEEKY clean and I loed it! I felt super comfortable dinning in and there's plenty of parking from the lot Service- best thing about this place! the staff was patient and gave good recommendations. they even drew cute ketchup art for us and urged us to scan the code to play music :) Food- my husband devoured his burger and can't wait to get it again. I think he got one with jalapenos? the fries were EXTREMELY fresh (never frozen_ and my favorite part of the meal. it was also a great size for the price we paid. I got the grilled chicken sandwich which was really small (was kinda sad) but at least it tasted good

    Rocket Chili Dog.

    Plenty of PARKING! Sometimes parking is everything, especially when you are hungry and don't want to circle the block for a space to park. The location in Alhambra is great in terms of parking spaces. Burgers, fries, and shakes was the craving so Johnny Rockets made sense. Downside might be they don't offer combo meals. Mostly everything is "à la carte", (burgers, fries, drinks are charged separately - not a good value), the exception are the kids meals and special promotion meal. Overall, I would still would come back. Food was good and service was great.

They were pretty busy at 8:00 a.m. on a Saturday but did not wait for a seat. Ordered the $17 burrito and was expecting something to be handheld but they do it ranchera style with red sauce and cheese topped all around it and on the sides and I'm glad they did because it was delicious. Well worth it; I eat burritos half this size for the same price in downtown LA. Ordered a side of hash browns they were solid as well. Only gripe would be that there wasn't much bacon or sausage in it (comes with both but needs more of both.) Melaniya served me proper. This was a great start we'll definitely be back to try the waffles always a gamble finding a crisp one, but they claim it so we will find out soon enough. It's a bit stuffy inside and loud as hell strange for a diner to be this loud but just saying. Still for what I ate it's an easy table pounder five star. Huge parking lot in the back that oddly had more cars than customers.

That's a sign of a great restaurant. When we went in, the servers were welcoming and it was packed on a Friday morning. We waited a few minutes before getting to our table and our server Gabby was the sweetest. She suggested the omelette (I forgot what specific type) and I'm so glad I took her suggestion. My food was awesome, a lot better than I was expecting. At first, I thought my portion was a little small, but I couldn't even finish my plate! The food is filling, flavorful, and everything was perfect. The positive ambience is a reflection of the quality service, food, and overall perspective of this restaurant. I thought it was so beautiful to see a bunch of elderly people coming for a morning mimosa, having coffee, reading, newspapers, and just mingling with each other. It gave me something to look forward to when I get older. I got a little sad when I seen a few elderly people alone. But when I realized maybe they go to Shakers because this is where their community is, I really felt the love. Go check it out, see what I'm talking about. I promise you won't regret it.

Friend, now I know what food is like in prison. The gravy was a bland, featureless runny liquid (no, even runnier than you're thinking), devoid of any seasoning whatsoever. I legitimately believe they dug a pan that used to have gravy in it out of the dirty dishes, swished some water around in it and poured it on my plate. The "biscuits" were hardly any better, lacking any hint of butter or flake, instead seeming like someone stirred up some Bisquick and threw it on the flattop grill. This meal was an insult and a punishment, and as part of a $70 check it felt like I was being personally invited to a fistfight by the dumpster. Alas, I had somewhere else to be. And somewhere else, anywhere else, is what I'll choose next time when breakfast is due. For reference, biscuits and gravy should include round, buttery, flaky biscuits using dough that was rolled out, cut, and baked. Gravy in this context is a richer, creamier milk gravy with substance, at minimum seasoned with fresh cracked pepper and perhaps some paprika. Offering a sausage gravy wouldn't hurt either. Or don't offer biscuits and gravy at all if you don't know what the f**k you're doing.

They also have outside seating and tables that face spring street and the side of LA historic park. Now on to the food. We ordered the Eggs and Steak with a side of hashbrowns and toast, 1st Street Omelette with a side of hash browns and a biscuit, a grilled blueberry muffin and some coffee.

Other than that, the food was delicious, comforting, and hit the spot. We would definitely come back to try more of their popular menu items.

So, today, I stopped in and ordered their fried chicken a la carte ($13 before tip). The server gave me a table setting as I told him I was going to eat there. After about 20 minutes, my order was brought to me in a plastic bag. The server looked at me, confused, asking "actually did you want to eat it here?" I told him 'yes' but - considering I had groceries in the car that I should probably get home - paid and thanked him. I wanted to have a "fresh" bite (as opposed to after the 20min drive home) so I popped the container open and was surprised at how small the chicken pieces were. The order was to come with a breast and a thigh but they were nearly identically-sized as the wings. RE: that first bite - it was not good; the flavor I detected that bummed-me-out tasted like slightly-spoiled buttermilk. Also, the distribution of the batter was very sparse on these chickens. On the drive home, I started entertaining the idea that when the server saw these mealy pieces, he became too embarrassed to present them to me on a plate (the reason why I got it in a knotted plastic bag?). Anyway, speculation aside: I don't think I'd go back - which is a bummer as the interior was super-cute and the employees were very friendly.

Pie N Burger has always been one of the places on my list. When we were taking a walk, I purposely took a detour here. It's a no-frills diner spot that has been around since 1963 - it is what it is. **This is a cash only restaurant. They have an on-site ATM that will charge you fees. I recommend getting cash at your bank ATM before stopping by. We were trying to divvy up what we could order with what we had on us until we discovered the ATM. We ordered shareables, so we started with an one of the egg breakfasts combos, and added a side of pancakes and a lemon merengue pie to go. What stood out is the jams/preserves were house made, as well as their salsa. The salsa has a kick but it is good. I couldn't say anything bad about what we ate because it was SO good. I am craving on going back for the preserves and pancakes. I know we'll have to go back for the burgers for out next visit. We sat at the counter but our waitress was above average/excellent service.

We're honored to be a gathering place for our community and a destination for those seeking an authentic taste of classic American dining. Whether you are a regular local or a first-time visitor, we are happy to serve you. Pasadena is heralded as the birthplace of the cheeseburger, and we honor that tradition with utmost pride. Many of our recipes date back to 1963, when the restaurant first opened. We remain committed to preserving the quality and essence of the traditions that have been passed down through generations. We look forward to your next visit and sharing our special sauce with you! Credit Cards: They're not accepted, but they do have a atm inside the shop. Price Point: Kinda pricey, but the quality of the food is good. Restrooms: Restrooms are available for usage. Just be mindful that there are no handles or knobs for hot and cold water. Under the sink, there are dual knee pedals that operate the hot and cold water. Location/Parking: Major cross streets are Lake and California. Parking can be found in the shared parking with Loli Farms. You can also parking along California. Ambiance/Decor: Classic American diner feel. Sprinkled with some antique equipment (milkshake maker and cash register to name a few) that still part of their daily operations. Service: Service was great. All the staffers that we interacted with were friendly, attentive (Catherine asked if we wanted to half the burger and milkshake), knowledgeable about the shop and offered great suggestions. Food came out at a decent time. Food Of Choice: 1) Hamburger ($14.50): 1/4 prime beef served with lettuce, pickles, onions (we got the onions grilled), tomato, American cheese, and our homemade 1000 Island dressing. Burger was tasty and the ingredients were quite fresh. Hamburger is kinda pricey, but the quality shows. 2) Hand dipped Milkshake: Very good. They use Thrifty ice cream! We got vanilla ice cream with chocolate. 3) Peach Pie (Slice): Pie was great. You can tell that it's homemade. It is a tad sweet though. Treat yourself once in a while. :) Pie and Burger For Thought: Wouldn't mind coming back to try more pies.
