    Can't go wrong at Johnny Rockets. I came here two days in a row. I was craving a salad and Johnny rockets grilled chicken salad surely cured my cravings! The salad was filling & had a variety of additions that made it great. The next day I came for a JUICY burger with the works & a side of fries. Also, there was a festival going on along the boardwalk and there were so many patrons looking to dine in and order for takeout but the service was extremely speedy nevertheless.

    Was looking for a midnight snack and was happy this was open. Our waiter Willy was great. They were very busy since a lot of people just came from a concert. The onion rings were delicious. Smokehouse burger was decent. It would be better with some lettuce and tomato. It was supposed to be medium well but was cooked well done.

    Yummy burger and onion rings served with a smile!

    When it's off season or off hours, this place is a savior... it's basic but good, breakfast or lunch. When at Ballys, try Johnny Rockets!

    The stellar bacon cheddar burger.

    First and foremost, my apologies to Johnny Rockets. For some dumb, pre-judgmental reason, I had always disregard this eatery as a cheap novelty. But one night at the end of summer, my girlfriend and I were in need of a midnight snack. The closest establishment that was open turned out to be Johnny Rockets. My girlfriend and I ordered burgers and fries and we indulged. From the first bite of my bacon cheddar burger, I knew this was something special. Medium rare and tasty, I was compelled to eat like an animal. The comfort food hit the spot in the best of ways, our server was amazing, and outdoor seating was wonderful. We look forward to going back!

    Went to this old school spot for lunch on our mini vacation...We were greeted with a smile from Willy and seated in a perfect location where we could still see the water... He took our order without writing it down and remembered everything! I got the chili cheese dog, delicious and cooked to perfection, just the way I ordered it and I like it (which I did request from Willy and they followed my instructions). Mom got the grilled cheese, which was basic but still good (I took a bite...lol)...We shared the fries... The ambiance was perfect for a Saturday afternoon, and the music in between was a great addition... Willy gave us a smiley face with the ketchup, which I thought was a nice added touch! He made sure that we were happy with the food when it was received and he continued to follow up throughout our meal... JR hasn't lost its touch, old school hot dog still just the way I remembered it...One of my regular spots when I am in Atlantic City, JR will be seeing us again...Cheap and tasty lunch when you have been gambling...lol

    I've never been to a Johnny Rockets before - and this was a great first introduction. Chain restaurants overall I think gets too much hate - this isn't meant to be a gourmet food experience. The place advertises its affordable burgers and fries and it delivers that excellently. The fries and tater tots are good, solid sides - they're fried well and taste exactly how you'd expect fries and tater tots to taste like. Their burgers are cooked to medium well (as burgers should be) but still retain juiciness. For something that is right on the AC boardwalk, it was very reasonably priced - and it even had vegetarian options for all their burgers. I love diners and the diner vibe - and this one delivers on that. Our waitress was also very nice - she joked around with us and regularly checked in to make sure we were happy with our food and offer drink refills. All in all, it was a great first introduction to Johnny Rockets.

    Almost forgot to take a picture. But this is the original double.

    Classic cheeseburgers, fries and malt milkshakes. The original double is one of the best burgers in town, hands-down. Paired with the ambience of the boardwalk and great music you're in for a good time. Weight staff is always friendly too and hard-working.

    Very busy location but it's still a good one. I was with one other person and the one way to get a spot without a wait was to take seats at the counter which was fine. It's located between Hard Rock and Caesar's. There was outdoor seating as well. Even though it was busy our server took our orders after a very short wait and the food came out pretty quickly and it was good. They were also out of a few items(onion rings and something else). Not sure if it was from being busy or they just ran out. Our server was very nice though and polite. The milk shakes are amazing. This time I had a Peanut Butter and Banana shake. Also it was reasonably priced being it was right on the boardwalk.

    Nothing spectacular as far as food. Just a classic burger type place. Reasonable prices and friendly service.

    Rocket double burger

    The burger delicious and didn't skim on the meat. Wish the ac was working but things happen. The service was nice and a lot of them

    Strawberry Mimosa

    Waited a little late to get something to eat. This was close and still open. I sat at the counter. No one helped me right away. Finally someone helped me. It was pretty busy inside. It felt a bit unorganized to me. The place was average in cleanliness. I ordered strawberry Mimosa, onion rings and chicken cheese steak. It was all just average. Nothing to get excited about. Long story short is I'm not going to be hungry. Lol

    We had such a pleasant experience at this Johnny Rockets. Our server Beverly was such an amazing and kind person. She took care of us as if we were family. She was great with the kids and super nice to us. She took our order quickly and food was served fast and hot. It was a pleasure to have met her.

    Strawberry Milkshake with a whipped cream kiss...YUMMY!

    What it does, it does well. At certain times, this is the best place to take a seat and people watch the boardwalk.

    Never fails to provide the most inviting atmosphere and always great food. The breakfast sandwich is a must to try.

    My favorite....the avacado BLT on the best seeded roll on the island. All of the ingredients are…read morefresh. The French Fries are exceptional also. No one else has fries that taste this good.

    Everything about this place is legit. They make everything by hand which is why sometimes they run…read moreout of of items or bread and they go and get them and make more. They just have to take time to do it because that's why they're so good to take the time to do it, they even make their own breadcrumbs, their own pickles their own barbecue sauce, hot sauce and everything else and I love this place. My favourite is the hoagie the cutlet hoagie or the lobster roll. The fries are insane! They Hand cut them! The only thing they put in the fryer or fries everything else is made the slow way the old way and that's why definitely call head and definitely in the busy times of the year they run out of things and if you want the pork, they stopped making it at least 5 years ago, I'm not sure which one. They get very very busy so definitely call ahead also the ambience cannot be beat because it's right on the beach block. Basically there are three houses between them and the beach and you can see the dunes and feel the breeze from the ocean. There aren't a lot of outdoor tables because they are a takeout restaurant and also because Ocean City does not allow this with their zoning. I've read the reviews that complain about this and as my favourite restaurant I take offence because it's not their fault and people that are angry maybe should just ask! By the way the cutlet mini is still on the menu. It's just not written down. You just have to ask for it, it's a secret item. Hope this helps and also they take credit cards now I follow them on Instagram like religiously. I suggest doing so as well and I suggest ordering from the current menu which comes out in June every year. I I'm surprised I'm not twice my size because of the amount I ordered from this place! God bless Sandwich bar!I'm
