Awesome!! Can't wait to try the chocolate shake. Looks GREAT with an actual Hostess cup cake on board. The fries, burgers, the whole ambiance was great. A great change from your other burger/shake joints. read more

Welll.... We stopped in for dinner and were told it would be a short wait, 15-20 minutes. Not bad until you look around and see open tables. Oh well, we wait. We are sat a booth in the back that has seen better days. The cushions on the bench seats were flat with sever divots from so much use. As for food, no.... My milkshake was good. That was it. The rest tasted like it was warmed up from a can/wrapper and passed for made in house. Our server was nice. He was doing the best he could with what he was given. I commend him for that. Unfortunately that cannot save the bad quality of food served. A return trip is not needed. 31.07.2026 read more

We ordered via our Uber for our daughter for delivery. Very easy to place the order & delivery was .49 which was great as well especially paying additional taxes & tip for delivery driver. We order the double cheeseburger and regular fries adding in the notes for ketchup and ranch. The order was made accurately w/ reading our notes as well. Thank you for dinner tonight. read more

Service was fast and friendly. The restaurant was clean. My friend ordered the cheeseburger and I ordered the rocket dog. We both got French fries and a chocolate peanut butter shake. Everything was delicious. The bun on the hot dog was very buttery. read more

The atmosphere was fun. The food tasted good. The place was not that clean. Our waitress noticed when the air conditioner came on that it was blowing directly on us ( it was 20 degrees outside) she moved us so we would be more comfortable. The shakes were good. I feel like more cheese could have been on fries. read more

So we didn't actually get to eat here, but we really wanted to. After a couple hours at the children's museum, our children were claiming to be famished. We had an hour left on the parking time, so decided to walk the few blocks over to Johnny Rockets for them to eat. Given that it was Saturday evening on a busy downtown events weekend, the restaurant was pretty full. However, there were lots of open seating at the bar area. The hostess gave us a 10-15 minute wait time, so I asked if we could order to go. There was no way my children were going to make it 10-15 minutes of waiting for a table plus more waiting to order and receive food once seated. Trying to order to go is where the confusion began. The hostess quickly provided me a menu and moved to the next people waiting to be seated. Given that the small waiting area (to the left of the hostess stand) was full, I stepped aside to the right. This placed me right at the edge of the bar where I noticed there were 4 open seats on the end (the exact size of our party). Realizing this, I turned to ask the hostess if we could sit there to eat, hoping to maybe salvage the ability to dine in. Before I could get the question out, there were two other staff members behind the bar, attempting to interact with me. One was telling me that I could not stand there if I wanted to order to go and the other was pure contradictory confusion. I was attempting to ask if they allow children to sit at the bar, to understand if this was even an option for us, but they were making the question into one of whether we could sit at the bar while ordering to go. I clarified a couple of times that I'd like to dine in if children could sit at the bar, but we could never get past their confusion. Don't quote me on this but what *I think* I learned is that children can sit at the bar, but it is at the discretion of the hostess. The hostess seemed a bit flustered and the line was just growing longer, so we opted to simply leave and dine elsewhere. read more

What happened to the jolly singing servers? Not impressed with the service, friendliness or cleanliness. Burger was t seasoned well either.

I have r been to a Johnny Rockets in years, so when I saw they had one in downtown Atlanta, I knew I had to go there. I got a Smokehouse and added grilled mushrooms and it was FANTASTIC! Service was amazing too, my server was so attentive and friendly. I loved it. The place was clean and even though they were busy, they were handling it great. read more

The food was okay. The place is like most any other Johnny Rockets--kinda like a diner. Our server was able but not very friendly--not sure if this was a particularly bad day for her. You just never know what's going on. I hope her day gets better! read more

It depends on what you're looking for. We missed the one that used to be in Denver so we came for nostalgia. This one seems like it's in the older side but the service was good and so was the food. There was a Yoda croc charm in a cup they gave my Yoda carrying daughter. It didn't seem overpriced for the section of town it was in either read more

The waiters have no people skills at all. There was a 15 min wait and the entire counter was empty. The tone was very rude. People kept walking in and leaving going to the establishment next door, Rock's Chicken & Fries. I walked out as well. No eye contact with guests and it' was a horrible experience. I was trying to recreate my childhood experience by eating there and the customer service was so low, I wouldn't even want them serving me food with those attitudes. A new concept needs to be implemented to attract more, or you will end up going bankrupt! All the rating was an 85B on the wall. read more

The fries are the best thing here for sure, but the obvious main attraction of this place is the novelty of it being an "old style diner". It has all sorts of cute little things inside like they serve ketchup in smiley faces on plates and stuff like that. If you're going in expecting good food though, lower your expectations as it's wholly unremarkable. They were also out of soda but they said it was because their drink machine was down, so I can't fault them on that. Our waiter also told me we couldn't get weirdly chewy chicken tenders taken off the bill, but after speaking to a manager we got them taken off. Worth a one time visit but wouldn't go again, as the novelty wears off after the first visit in my opinion. read more

We hungry, we went, and we stuffed! The only other Johnny Rockets I have been to was on a cruise, so it was nice to go to a restaurant that wasn't moving on the water and it's much bigger stand alone. It's the go to for a quick hamburger, hot dog, fries, or shakes. I may be missing a couple more things, but you get the point. The Rocket chili dog was the pick and it was a fine choice. It was topped with chili and cheese. No onions with a strawberry banana shake. Being on vacation has its benefits without the calories. Everything was great and did not regret each bite. The location is right in the downtown Atlanta area close by the museums, so it's within walking distance. The quick and friendly service was nice and we were able to get our meals in a reasonable amount of time. The crowd started coming in as we were leaving, so we lucked out with that. read more

The restaurant was filthy! Everything was sticky. The restrooms were horrible. My Aunt found a plastic drink lid in her chocolate shake - nobody apologized or took the shake off the bill. It's a serious health hazard. Disgusting. read more

The night when we went was very busy but the staff provided excellent service . Food was delicious and well prepared . Please give a good tip to the team at Johnny Rockets, they work really hard to make the best food. I like my food hot and well cooked and they did not disappoint me . I was in a conference and restaurant was packed but the team managed to do a great job . read more

This staple of Atlanta is just as good as The Varsity. Each of them are unique in their own way, but they are both just as delicious. The atmosphere at Johnny Rockets gives off a 1950s diner and the food that is served goes right along with it. The wait staff is always busy getting orders, but no matter what you order, it'll be good. I got the Hershey strawberry kiss shake with chili cheese fries and my wife got a Coca-Cola with the basic burger. She said it was very good and flavorful. If you're in a bind and want to eat somewhere cheap and cool, this is your place. It's a diner, so don't expect anything other than that. read more

Took family and other than a little sticker shock at how expensive Johnny Rockets type food has become was a great experience. The lady server was attentive and professional. The inside of restaurant was clean and tidy. We had burgers, fries and grilled chicken. All was tasty. The onion rings, fries and tots met the expectation too. If you're going to aquarium, it's worth a visit to this Johnny rockets. read more

Wasn't sure where to park visiting this location, so I parked and paid. First bite of tater tot was icey... sent back burger was a burger with no flavor. Server was nice and fixed what he forgot with order. Daughter liked the milkshake she tried burger and that was it. If you like steak and shake or Freddy's or Culver's this is your burger spot! read more

The food was pretty good, especially the grilled chicken sandwich. :) However I was disappointed to not see much diversity at all in their decorations... everyone on the posters was very pale, except for one man. This day in age, that is so outdated! Also, while our server was very friendly and everyone was pleasant, there clearly is not much organization in service procedures. When we were standing at the counter (waiting to check out, which I think we maybe should have done from our table- but even that wasn't clear) 3 servers who were right there didn't even acknowledge us. It was strange. When I said I wanted to pay, one of them flagged down our server even though those 3 were standing around waiting for food from the kitchen. Just didn't make much sense- seems like something corporate could improve on, to smooth the flow for guests and servers. read more

Service was fast, the food was good, and the overall store was clean. This Johnny Rockets is a bit different than others we have been to as this one did not include french fries with your burger or chicken sandwich and so is priced lower. Additionally, when you add the fries, they are not bottomless fries like they are at other locations. read more

Went to the location on Lucky St. when we walked in we asked if we could sit at the bar and were VERY LOUD AND RUDELY TOLD NO. So they gave us a beeper. seated in about 15 minutes finally started the server was going to seat us at a table close to the bar and the kid behind the bar yelled "no sit them at table 12". it was back at a very little table in the back corner ( we didn't mind). For 10-15 minutes we waited to get our drink order taken. No one came to the table. we asked several waiters over the next 15 minutes if they could take our order and EVERY ONE of them grunted at us and kept walking. We finally got up and left with my husband voicing his opinion. I wish I would have stayed and waited to a manager as I am sure they would not like to hear how horrible the workers were. As an fyi we are in our 60s and caucation and never been treated so rudely. We have no idea what brought this on. We simply came in to eat and were greeted with this. I have and will keep telling people of this episode. read more

I was traveling with some friends and they mentioned coming here after we went to visit the aquarium. It was delicious. I completely finished my food in under 5 minutes. I loved the vibes, how the coke products are made from scratch, and the people were enthusiastic. I would definitely go again when I go visit. A 10/10 experience read more

This location was great for us... just a short walk from the tourist attractions like the olympic park, aquarium, and coca-cola factory. Our server was pleasant. It took her a while to come over to the table but she put our order straight in and our plates were out within five minutes. I had the Houston Burger and it was delicious! The spicy sauce on it was great. Also shared the bacon cheddar fries with my friend. We both liked them. Keep in mind that this location is LOUD and crowded. and no public restrooms like the rest of downtown atlanta! read more

This diner chain in Atlanta was one that we accidentally stumbled upon. Because we were craving something sweet, we decided to get a cookies n' cream milkshake. Boy did it smack! The shake was nice and creamy just like it should be. If you decide to sit in, the store gives you all the feels of a diner from the seating, to the staff, to the music. read more

The food was pretty good but nothing truly special - EXCEPT that it was one of only two restaurants open in downtown Atlanta courtesy of the BLM protests and damage done to all the businesses. The service was excellent. The restaurant was operating with safe COVID practices. The burger and onion rings that I ordered was frankly too much for me to eat and I took a to go box back to my hotel. I'm sure it will be good (and appreciated) for breakfast! read more

Loved our experience coming here for a kid birthday after an Aquarium trip. We had a fairly small party and they were totally fine with us bringing our own cupcakes to blow out candles. They also did a lovely job making the birthday boy feel special with a nice song and sundae. Our veggie burger was tasty and I definitely opted for the Boca burger over the (double the price) Impossible burger. I figured there was a reason the price wasn't on the menu lol. Our shake and tots were good as well. Someone in the group got cheesy tots with bacon. Little did we know that literally meant a strip of bacon on top. Not what she was expecting. Definitely would suggest crumbling the bacon or something next time. It was a little funny but she didn't end up eating the bacon. Would suggest this place as a relatively low cost option while in the city. read more

Cute place! Service was friendly. Got a classic burger with fries. Even though the burger itself was tasty, it was a lot of bun for not a lot of burger. Price was decent. Decent stop before the aquarium if you don't know where else to go! read more

Please do not go here! Terrible service from the manager. Ordered a double and was brought out a single. Didn't realize until I had already taken a bite. Then manager came over to verify if it was a single before making another one. When we went to pay she refused to take off the single saying we ate some of it. What in the world! She was also extremely rude and unproto us and it was embarrassing! read more
