Johnny Rockets

I’ve been hearing about this place for a while. Heard about their performance and dances, famous milkshakes and all. One day I finally pay them a visit together with my family.
The place was so packed with people. Most probably in conjunction to weekend and dinner time. Was quite contented that we are seated in within a very short period time but their service was really slow. Not gonna complain as they were really packed with dinner crowd. We ordered grill cheese (can choose the type of breads you like either wholemeal or white breads), bbq chicken melt, black pepper grill chicken, chicken tenders. They comes in sets and the set comes with a cuppa milkshake and fries (the fries can be switched to sweet potato fries). As for the milkshake, we had their vanilla, chocolate and mango milkshakes.
Though the milkshakes was quite delicious, what disappoints us was the quality of their food. After waited for almost an hour, the food turns out below expectations. The chicken tender was a little over fried, the breads of my grill cheese was too hard, the black pepper chicken wasn’t good as well.
Aside from that, I feel that they have a very bad ventilation system. The whole restaurant smells of their food and was quite stuffy. The staff performance was disappointing too. They just mumble away and dance without much enthusiasm.
The only thing that I give credits to this place is their milkshakes.

Came here for a small gathering with my friends and so I went for it. Despite hearing countless good recommendations and reviews, for the first time in forever, I would say No to this restaurant.
Johnny Rockets has a prominent and strong brand name but do they keep to their name, well. Personally, I think they don’t but then again I love how their furnish their interior, they have a great setting and spacious room– the concept are in the 90’s. However, their price is extremely out of the range, a regular burger set cost around RM 25. Crazy isn’t it? Besides, their burger weren’t that great, texture are not as refine and portion are standard. Though, their ambience are great and all.
Along with their classic music that really pumps up your mood and did I mention the staff would dance for the customers for free. Is really nice to see a unique of a renown restaurant but since they charge insanely high price. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant.

The staff here are super friendly and welcoming and service is excellent. The waiters are attentive and polite and food arrives fast. Burgers here are massive, and that reflects in the RM 20+ price tag, so don’t be alarmed when you see the high prices. the portions are worth it. Besides just burgers, Johnny Rocket’s also serves other things such as Sandwiches and Salads.
If you do come here however, you simply HAVE to try a milkshake. They have flavors like Banana Split, Black Cherry, Peanut Butter and a whole lot more unusual combinations you wouldn’t find anywhere else. I recommend sharing a milkshake with someone if you’re also eating a burger or sandwich as your meal because the milkshakes here are really filling, and in addition to the milkshake in the glass, they also serve you whatever was left in the mixing container, which is almost another whole milkshake by itself.
Every half hour of so the staff all burst out into a choreographed song and dance routine to old 80’s and 90’s hits. You’re even welcome to join them if you want to!

I had my dinner here last Sunday. Seldom do I saw playground provided for the children before enter. I felt this concept is so caring for those parenting to enjoy their meal. Besides, it can also make the children enjoy and remember here. I remember this type of concept do have in around 90an. But, don’t know since when, this concept start to be faced out.
The layout/​design is fully utilize for this store and quite different from The Curve. We need to go upstairs by using the escalator for seat. When we are about to seat, the surrounding design look so special. Felt like I’m having the meal in American.
Everything goes pretty good until a waiter (foreigner staff) is taking our order, quite difficult to hear his English, thus, we have to listen very carefully. I guess this is quite common in Malaysia market nowadays.
We wish to order chicken tenders but unfortunately, it was out of stock that time around 7pm ++. So, we change to ordered Bacon Cheddar Single (RM24.90) with potato bun, beef patties and served with fries. The beef is very juicy. Another ordered was Original Hot Dog (RM14.90) with chicken sausage and also served with fries. Nothing much about this taste as quite normal.

While for drink, we ordered Root beer float (RM9.90) and Signature Premium Chocolate Shake (RM15.90) — The chocolate taste is very rich in taste, I bet most of the chocolate lover will love it.
At around 7.15pm, there have staffs performance dancing.
#Tips: sit near to the cashier in order to have clearer view.

With all the hype surrounding this place, I expected more. I ordered the classic cheeseburger and the beef patty was tough and lacked flavor. The rest of the burger was average at best. I think what keeps this place going is the novelty of the whole American Diner concept. The coney dog was much better at least. I have to say they’re show stealer was definitely their milkshakes. It was creamy and felt authentic, especially the strawberry one. It’s always worth it’s price as their huge! I ordered the kid sized milkshake and the size was just right for me! Probably not worth another visit though I would say.

Looking for a classic American diner experience? Walk right up to Johnny Rockets at Sunway Pyramid! From the black and white checkered floors to red chairs and bar stools to classic diner music to the milkshakes and to the dancing waiters and waitresses, you get the whole package!
Eating at Johnny Rockets is really a fun experience as there is good music and also a team of entertaining staff. I am a sucker for good service and they have it all. Their milkshake is exception as well — very rich in flavor. Will definitely return to try the other food they offer. They also have a lunch promotion that is going on now which costs only Rm15++ for a main dish and a drink.
