Amazing burgers and friendly staff

By Martin ST. |

Looking for a piece off the 50's and a great meal. This is the place to go. Friendly staff, fresh food and good prices. A true Hollywood favorit, we will be back.

It's Johnny Rockets

By BerryvdM |

It's not the most friendly restaurant, but it's still Johnny Rockets, and although it's very bad for you, their chili cheese fries are the best in combination with The Original burger, love these places. The one at Universal Studios is rated the best if you ask me.

Good!

By bctabby |

This place was good as was the service. We got hamburgers, tator tots and french fries. It was in a mall on the Hollywood Walk of Fame so very convenient!

Fantastic location and service

By Mel T |

Fantastic spot for brunch/lunch after a long flight. Service was excellent and great food if you are after a burger/ wings/ hotdogs. Lovely Authentic American Diner. Close to all Hollywood attractions and a view of the Hollywood sign from the balcony.

Don’t go, wrong order, rude waitresses

By Mfm |

So disappointing i went with family, it wasn’t even that busy yet they seemed to rush us. We ordered the vegan burger and took a few things out of it but we had been clear about what we wanted out the burger the waitress read back the order yet we still got things in the burger we didn’t want. We had finished the burger and still had our drinks yet it seemed we were being rushed out, they kept coming up to us we had been to warner bro there’s before our visit here so we had done a fair bit of walking so were glad to sit down for a bit. No one else seemed to be getting bothered. The waitress were giving us dirty looks. We were so excited to go here we made an effort to go here but so disappointed and wouldn’t return here.

Satisfying, Good and fast service

By Sheridannn22 |

Visited Jonny Rockets on the first day of our stay in Hollywood. very nice diner and clean. Staff are friendly and fast service. Prices add up quite quick but portion sizes are big! Would return burgers were nice with fresh ingredients.

Location, location, location... and that is all...

By ismael l |

And that is pretty much it. The fifties style is touristic enough, but the food is poor and overpriced - we paid $11 for a plain burger with no extras, fries, drinks, anything. They offered to validate our parking ticket, but they did not. It was rushed and very crowded. The jukebox did not work. The service was rushed - clearly they need more hands. The location is all that this place has.

We visited twice and the second visit made it so we will not return

By Amber Jean R |

We visited this restaurant twice during our visit. Both times we went after very busy days and this restaurant is close to our hotel. The first visit was 5 star - waiter was wonderful, service quick, and burgers fresh and made to our liking. Second visit was 1 star - we waited 20 minutes outside the restaurant for seats to become available because the restaurant was very busy. When we got seats at the bar, the waitress took our order and we did not wait too long for the burgers. I asked for mine medium well and it came out like a hockey puck. the bottom layer was charred and very hard. I asked the waitress to just bring me a new patty that was not burnt. She insisted on taking the whole burger and I watched the cook throw both burgers in the trash. There was nothing wrong with the other ingredients. I got upset at the food waste. About ten minutes later 2 new burgers were brought this time the bun was burnt. We ate what we could and just left. This clearly was an off night because we went earlier in the visit and it was really good. However, we spend $38 bucks plus $6 tip on 2 burgers, 1 shared fry, and 2 soft drinks. I feel like this is a lot of money not to get what you want. I am going to have to pass on this restaurant in the future.

Good burger in Hollywood

By Sydney Visitoor |

We had to ate a burger during our stay in LA and it was a great choice to do it here at Johnny Rockets in Hollywood and Highlands Center. The place is like in a Hollywood movie.

Fresh burgers and friendly service.

By Drew Beveridge |

The burgers and fries were so fresh and delicious. The staff were great and ensured you had everything you needed for an awesome meal

Fast diner food at it's finest

By EternalMiAmor |

Needed a quick bite to satisfy our late night hunger. Known for burgers and shakes, it diner food at it fastest and finest. Tip: Must try the Cheesesteak Loaded Tater-tots and a Strawberry Chocolate shake! Yummy!!!

Great American diner experience.

By Philip M |

If you are looking for a great diner experience this is the place to come. Good food and friendly service. If in the neighbourhood will come back.

What an unpleasant meal

By Sebastian G |

Hi guys, I normally take longer to write about an experience so I have the time to reflect on it and really be fair with the place I am writing about. This time, I can't wait. Because we had a good memory of the place (we went with my wife a couple of years ago). Now we have comeback to Los Angeles with our kids we decided to take them to Johnny Rockets in Hollywood. First it was a nightmare to park the car but we finally decided to enter Hollywood & Highland Parking. After entering there we found out that if you go to have lunch or buy something in some selected stores or restaurants they validate your parking ticket and you have to pay only 2 USD for your first two hours. That was good! We looked for Johnny Rockets and entered to have a nice lunch there. I asked for a club sandwich that was around 11 USD cost and my wife for something I can't even describe. Everybody knows what a Club Sandwich is and how it comes, normally 2 to 4 triangules of nice bread, with several nice ingredientes like chicken or turkey with lettuce, tomato, bacon, etc and also comes with Fries. When they brought me the sandwich I could not be more disappointed. Not triangules of bread, no fries and a very small plate witch mean a very small sandwich for 11 dollars. Taste was ok but was also cooked with a lot of oil or butter which made the sandwich very heavy. I finish it and although it was small I had stomach ache almost immediately. Apart from the food with was not acceptable, the place was untidy, a little dirty and also for example our table seats looked bad and the leather in the sit was broken. Apart of not enjoying the meal that was not the end of the story. A woman (employee) came in the middle of this "delicious" meal and said she would give us a complimentary picture. Ok, I new that there was a catch but my kids insisted and we let her take the pictures. After a while she shows up again with or complimentary pictures and 6 more saying that we could by one for a number of dollars but also 6 per 30 USD. I said not and she said ok you can take the six without a paper frame that look good but not so great for 20. I said no again and she said 15, no again and 10. No again and she finally said all pictures for 5 USD. It was less than a dollar per picture so I said fine. Guys, this person was trying to sell me 6 pictures for 20 USD and it ended up seeing them for 5. After paying the 5 I though that is not acceptable to sell them for 20 which is a crazy price. As yu can see, the whole experience was not good and also cost us 50 USD without dessert and because my kids do not like soda drinks. This place is located in Hollywood, in the place where many movies are suppose to be done and they should have the highest standards and I can tell you I did not see them today at all. My recommendation is you should not go at all to this place. In the night we went to a Denny's and it was 38 USD having a much better and less precious meal. Regards!

Surprised

By sukhjiwan h |

Not a fan of burger restaurants, but the food here was good, as well as the shakes. Great staff, always smiling.

Great food, but skip the photographer

By BrianThomasberg |

Great place with quick and friendly service. But please quit the photographer. The waiter was very attentive with refilling our softdrinks.

Excellent service & burgers

By Mumma&Co |

No complaints about anything. Our server was excellent. Tables cleared quickly. Delicious milkshakes & food. Not the cheapest but I'd pay more for a decent burger. Highly recommend.

Excellent service - Large portions

By Kulty18 |

Went for breakfast daily while in LA. Extra Large portions, great food, great service Service was friendly and quick, food being delivered in under 10 minutes which was amazing

Average, over cooked, tired restaurant

By Fury-ice |

Basically we got an average takeaway meal at a restaurant price. Food was over cooked. Staff gave us a lame reason why we couldn't be seated right away. ( half the tables were empty). Staff seemed disinterested. Probably could lose the photographer. We all have cameras these days and tend to document our own lives. Place needs a big refresh.

Average burger with a high price tag $$$

By Keri L |

I had read reviews about this place so we ate there. The burgers are at least $10 and then it's an extra $5 for a fries. The burger was just an average burger and the patty was rather thin. I would suggest a going somewhere else for a better burger.

Amazing food

By Maddy C |

The chilli dog is amazing definitely recommend! Good price as well for what you get the mess are huge

Overrated, overpriced and cheap frozen burgers

By Tom Russell |

Had to send my burger back as it was stone cold. Burger was greasy, cold and clearly a frozen patty. Somewhere like this should be making their own burgers!! Drinks arrived after the food was served Kids meals looked ok Gave 2 stars because the milkshake was pretty descent and plentiful

Awesome Shakes

By Suseowen |

The shakes here are amazing (not good for the hips! Lol). I brought my family here to experience the old fashioned Diner. Food is always good.

Great food

By livinginwales |

We visited and had bacon cheeseburgers which are quarter pounders- you can double up if you want to but we didn’t need to - we also shared some cheesy bacon chips which were great and had coke zeros - food was great!!

Fresh and fast burgers

By JimDeBerry |

His Johnny Rockets has a long line that goes outside and yet above just above the Chinese Theater. I sat at the bar to avoid a wait. I ordered the Houston burger which had a chipotle sauce. It was a likely spicy. The burgers are made to order in front of your eyes. This franchisee does a good job.

Why do people rate this place Highly

By Cat M |

Was really looking forward to this but the service was terrible. Being British I stupidly asked for black tea which pretty well most places do ok but the water was barely warm. We weren't given water and the food was average. Not what I though a us diner would be

Johnny Rockets

By Gary M |

Complete with the classic tunes and retro 50's-esque environment, the burgers, fries, and shakes only compliment the experience that this Johnny Rockets has to offer. When you order your food you see it being cooked before your eyes if you're sitting at the bar or from afar if you're sitting in one of the retro style booths. Johnny Rockets menu: Burgers, Sandwiches, Fries, Shakes, Hot-dogs, etc. If you're going to order a main entree, such as a burger, hot-dog, Philly cheese steak, and others - the great thing about that is that they are accommodated with fries. You really can't go wrong at the Rocket.

Really good.

By Daily eater |

We were just checking out Hollywood blvd and came by this “diner”. We loved the 50’s look and later we decided to grab a bite. The waiters were very friendly, and quick to say hello, welcoming etc. We ordered two burgers, a shake and loaded fries. First we were served with two large glasses of water with ice, which we really apreciated, then the fries. Fries were good, enough topping of cheese and bacon, and the burgers were also really good. The milkshake was clearly freshly made, because we also got the mixing cup with enough shake for a refill. We really enjoyed eating here. Would reccomend!

Quick and Good

By Adele A |

It's a franchise, yes. But this location was quick to seat, serve and respond. Right off Hollywood Blvd, the menu sports calories that made me opt for the chicken sandwich. Ok, and I had the tater tots - delicious. Would definitely come again. Had a very good waitress.

Average

By Bailey N |

It was our last day in LA, the family decided to visit Johhny Rockets in Hollywood for the diner experience. The food was quite tasty, however very small in size for the price. The service was good to begin with however we all received our sides first which I thought was strange, they then gave us our burgers, at this stage I still hadn't received my shake and asked our waitress to grab them as I could see them sitting up on the shelf. She waited another 5mins before getting our shakes, I ended up finishing my burger before receiving my drink which I thought was poor. There was a total of 6 or 7 employees with one making all the food and one waitress doing all the work whereas the other 3 or 4 were standing around drinking and chatting looking very unprofessional (explains the delayed service). Average diner.

2017 California Visit

By Perry G |

Had lunch here and it was very nice and relaxing. We visited Madam Tussauds wax museum and walked the Hollywood Blvd strip and was glad to rest and relax a bit from the madness on the walk of fame strip. Food was very good and old fashion. Located in the Hollywood mall area on the 3rd floor.

Great Service

By Lorine T |

We are LA natives and I've been to many Johnny Rockets. You can always count on Johnny R's for quality food - great burgers, crispy fries, delish real ice cream shakes and friendly service. But the service at this location was seriously the best I've ever had at Johnny R's and one of the best, warmest, friendliest I've had at any diner in recent memory. We were greeted immediately and sat at the counter. The lovely chatty waiter (whose name I'm so sorry I've forgotten, but he was a tall, thin asian man with a wonderful disposition) was kind, funny and checked on us regularly. We never had a moment when a water glass went empty or couldn't get a side of ranch or felt like we were being hurried along. Even when it got busy in there and he was hopping from the register to the counter to the tables. I'm a hospitality professional and honestly, this guy and his team treated us as well as if we were at a fine dining establishment. He started our night off right! I had to take a moment to mention here. Anyone and everyone who wants a casual experience, inexpensive and excellent diner food and topped off with great service, you can't beat this Johnny Rockets. Who would have thought it... There are many casual restaurants in this area, but the next time we're here for a show and want a simple dinner, we will go out of our way to visit here.

Lunch after Walk of Fame

By Kristi S |

Stopped in here for lunch after Walk of Fame. Good Burgers and kids meals. Service was good and server was nice.

Dreadful Burgers

By MistyTT |

Our waiter was a very friendly chap but oh dear the food was awful! As a family we ordered three different burgers and each was shockingly greasy and dripped oil.

Nice Throwback to Burgers

By John E |

This throwback to burger hop days has a nice family environment. Food here was good and the staff was very friendly. The original burger reminded me of an In and Out style burger. The food came out quickly and was hot and tasty. I would recommend to anyone who is in Hollywood and looking for a good dining experience.

Burger paradise

By Helen M |

We enjoyed a variety of burgers here. They were all delicious. Staff were really friendly and helpful and coped well with our ignorance of how the whole system worked.

Decent

By Nana Piesie |

Last year when I tested Johnny rockets it was way more better, but it was not in the same place. This restaurant did not have sweet potato fries. The milkshake was good.

Terrible experience at an overpriced chain

By Molly L |

Stopped for lunch at this restaurant while in Hollywood. It was busy, but not swamped. We ordered a soda, a water, a burger, fries, and a chicken sandwich and we were seated at the counter. It took more than an hour for the food to be delivered. The wait staff was all over the place, not tending to their stations or their customers. The meal cost $40 and it was an extremely unsatisfying experience. I will not return to Johnny Rockets.

Staff was amazing

By Gina H |

While this restaurant can be a fun experience in any setting, what really set it apart was the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. They were a delight and it stood out more because Hollywood Blvd is not the friendliest street.

Kids loved it

By Rhys_H24 |

Whilst in Hollywood and Dolby Theatre, the kids where looking for something to eat at lunchtime and this seemed popular with the teenagers. I have to say the service, menu options, refill's on drinks made it fully enjoyable for all of us. The fries, with bacon , Cheese and Jalapenos where lovely, sandwiches where great, and would recommend it if you wanted something with a classic american diner twist.

Ate here twice so can't be bad.

By tr7v8 |

First time really only wanted a drink but decided to eat as well. Bright, loud & brash 50s style diner. Service a bit slow but OK once started. The burgers are very nice & as I'm on a low carb diet can be done skinny, in other words no bun! The wings were tasty & quite spicy. The fries which arrive first are biggish portions but very nice. Second time I had a salad & a burger as well. Not cheap but then it is the centre of LA in Hollywood.

BURGERS WERE YUM..........

By Liketachat |

We loved the Burgers and bottomless Cokes. Fast, very friendly service. The place is decked out like a 1950's Diner. We were disappointed to hear this is the only Johnny Rockets left in LA.

late bite to eat

By Tammy M |

We stopped in on a Sunday night after a very busy day. It was one of the few places still open. The veggie burger was great !

Great burgers and service!

By Joe C |

The service was really great, all the staff did a dance in the restaurant which was really fun. The food was great, they have lots of options including ‘create your own’ which allowed me to build my perfect burger. Would definitely come back!

Not to our tastes tonight.

By Melanie D |

Huge meals but not up to our tastes tonight. Felt that our meals were a little too oily and were just ok. The milkshakes looked amazing and had jealously of the people beside us! Not as good as other Johnny Rockets but fast service and great atmosphere

Johnny Rockets - A 50's Diner Experience

By Makayla Muscat |

On your next visit to Hollywood Blvd, step back in time and enjoy a burger, shake and fries in a 50's diner setting. With exceptional food, friendly service, upbeat music and a complimentary family photo to remember your experience, you won't be disappointed - so don't forget to tip the waiter.

Disappointing

By Irene G |

I had high expectations of this palce as I’d eaten in Johnny Rockets elsewhere. Sadly, despite good service from our waitress, this one disappointed. The food was below average.

Average

By M0nkey01 |

Popped in quite late in evening.. service quite quick and food coming out seemed even quicker. Food was nice.. menu is average burger joint nothing special. Average prices.

The real american burger

By Pedro F |

Went to Johnny's for my first meal in LA and I can say it started really well. The burger was delicious and the fries with cheese were mind blowing tasteful.

perfect service and meal

By Lilian M |

Perfect, the server Nick was really invested and dynamic. The burgers were really good too. Five stars without hesitation

Great for a quick family meal

By Dr PAR506 |

We called into Johnny Rockets on Hollywood Blvd for a quick and easy evening meal whilst taking in the sights. It is clean with nice staff who serve nice food.

Delicious

By Alon S |

Very good service and big meals. There best side dish is sweet potato The restaurant look likes casual American restaurant and I recommend to everyone who walk on Hollywood to eat there

Emergency stop

By Amanda |

We got hungry and it was there calling at us! We had loaded Tatter tots followed by clubs sandwiches. The tots were good, we don't really get these in the UK so it was a it of a novelty. The sandwiches were also ok. Not our usual haunt as it's a bit too mainstream for us but it filled a hole & stoped is from eating each other.

Quick good food

By Sally |

Had a lovely burger here while staying in LA. Was quick, reasonably priced & good size portions. Liked the ketchup smiley! Had our photos taken by the restaurant photographer, who offered the prints for $10 each initially & when we said no, she said we could have all 3 for $5 so worth holding out if you want them! Only downside was I ordered a milkshake that didn’t arrive until way after I’d finished my main & was ready to leave.

great food and fast service

By gedwards |

we went here and it was very busy the service was great and the food was even better would recommend Johnny Rockets to any one you can eat in or get take away

Average burgers

By Blake3754 |

We ate here for dinner one night. Service was good but we found the burgers to be pretty average and the fries really oily. Wouldn't be rushing back..

Ordinary Meal

By PBM2010 |

Stopped in for an early dinner. The meal for the price was average. My Philly cheese steak was greasy. My son liked the chicken tenders.

Fantastic feel!

By Daniel M |

This restaurant offers a great atmosphere and the food is very well prepared and ready to go. The staff was friendly and helpful and their service excellent. It is well located in a busy shopping mall and easy within reach of a hunger traveler. The onion rings and hamburger were delicious and the price was reasonable. This restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere.

Great American Fare

By mariasn2017 |

I really enjoyed dining here... the food was great as well as the milkshakes! A bit disappointed that the mini juke box on our table didn't work, but oh well...! The only thing I didn't like was being hassled to buy photographs. A young girl offered us a free photo, but of course there was a catch when she then started her spiel about buying a set of photographs. We were pretty adamant that we didn't want to purchase any, but she kept lowering the price until we paid a ridiculous price for them. In hindsight, it's a nice souvenir to have, but we didn't enjoy the experience. To her credit, she was actually quite nice, despite our stubborness! I still recommend Johnny Rockets for the food and the step back in time!

Well, It's Johnny Rockets

By Where2NowBoys |

It's your typical Johnny Rockets but it's in a cool location. After you get your burger and shake you can sit outside and relax and enjoy the view as you watch the Hollywood Blvd shenanigans. It's not usually crowded and it's a good view since it's on the second floor.

Nothing special

By Alessandro F |

Good environment in 50s style. Burger good but nothing more. Chips with cheddar not so good. Maybe I happened on a wrong spot but I expected more. Nothing special for me

Always Good

By KKayKH |

This is a family favorite wherever we are visiting. Delicious burgers after long days on our feet sightseeing. Excellent shakes. Service was wonderful!

So much fun

By Shawna S |

It is a great place to eat, it is great for families, it is like eating at an old fashioned diner, this was our first time to Hollywood and this is one of the great memories

Fits in with the area...

By Jonathan K |

If you're on a nostalgia trip looking at the names and footprints on Hollywood Boulevard, what's better than a snack in a '50s style burger bar? Staff were friendly and attentive, service was prompt and out two excellent burgers and soft drinks came to $31...good value. Recommended.

Fun place to eat

By Melbourne Day-Tripper |

I was recommended to come here by my sister. The service was fast the mushroom burger delicious and the atmosphere was great as well as the service. A lady comes around to take your pics $20 lol. My son enjoyed his kids hot dogs.

fast food

By Antonio M |

Typical American fast food with very good burgers and hot dogs. Very kind and friendly staff. Recommended for a quick lunch in Hollywood

Nice eats when visiting Hollywood

By Simimike |

I like to get there hamburger and onion rings. My son-in-law liked the chicken salad. It is a retro place where you can get an 50 style burger.

Great late night treat!

By Wander |

We went to Hollywood late one night craving something sweet and ended up at Johnny Rockets. I had never been before this night but I had heard many good reviews. It did not disappoint. We got fries and shakes and we were left satisfied and a little leftover of each for the next day!

Good (I really I mean bad for you) Fast Food

By David L |

I have been known to go to this place in the Santa Anita Mall. When we go to the movies. Generally it is hot, fresh, brown and plenty of it.

50s themed fun!

By WorldTravla7 |

Johnny Rockets is a global franchise of 50s themed restaurants and there is no better place to visit one than in California where they started out. I have fond memories of going to the one on the Sunshine Coast in Australia and ordering milkshakes in old school glasses from cute little booths with red vinyl seats & mini jukeboxes and getting excited when the staff would suddenly bust out dancing along to classics like Aretha Franklins 'Respect' in their white aprons & bowties. Therefore I was like a moth to a flame when I saw the store on Hollywood & Highland as most of the Australian stores closed long ago. It was exactly the same as I remember from years ago only I was in America! A nice trip down memory lane. Food is 50s American diner to the core so not healthy, but why not treat yourself? Only disappointment was no dancing on the day I visited!

Jolly Rockets

By bryanedwin |

A fun little and very traditional American diner set in a shopping centre and overlooking the Hollywood Walk of Fame etc. Take yourself back to the Fifties with a bite of brunch. And get your feet tapping from the table-side juke boxes. Food's fine and fresh, too.

Typical Johhny Rockets - Fast Food and service - always great

By CarolinaBlue73 |

Love this place. Fast food and fast service. The name describes at least half of the business. Thanks!!

Enjoyable burger

By Fi55y |

Fast service, enjoyable burger, philly steak sandwich both served with fries in a traditional American diner.

Good burger

By Saad Abid |

I tried to route 66 burger and it's delicious. The French fries portion is more than enough for 1 person. I really loved this place with a typical American decoration

The best burgers and shakes

By OzTraveller99 |

We always visit Johnny Rockets when in Hollywood, and each time the food and shakes are exactly the same and fantastic. The service is so quick and staff are always polite and friendly. There is no better place for a quick and tasty burger and shake.

Great taste, but everything is a la carte!

By Bkaymc |

They were really busy when I arrived w/ limited staff. I ordered onion rings and a burger and a soda. My onion rings were cooked by my server, forgot her name, but she was very fast, friendly and efficient. The food is delicious, but it didn't come w/ any sides. It is pricey, but so is everything else in that touristy area.

Best Burger in Town

By Olli K |

Thats how i love Burger & Fries! Great Ambiente, 50ties-Style, realy fine Burgers. We will come back soon.

Paradise on a bun

By Craig G |

Lovely place to grab a burger had the bacon burger and Philli cheese steak along with the rocket dog served at our table, can't begin to say how sensational the taste of the Philly cheese steak was and the others enjoyed the burger and dog. The restaurant was very clean even though the place was very busy and the staff were exceptionally polite

Great Burgers

By Justin B |

Very good burgers and price. The service was very quick and the burgers are massive with everything you need. The fries were loaded as well. Parking is a issue and busy street but the place and staff are every good.

Best burgers

By FreddyV |

Love it, 4 me it was the best burger that I had in LA. The place is cool too. Attention was also good but not fast.

Always perfect food!

By Tamoria C |

No matter where you go a Johnny Rockets is the place to eat...all meals. The food is fabulous, the staff is always kind and friendly, the service is fast as well. Love Johnny Rockets!

Good food and Budget Friendly

By Thewanderingmarine |

Honestly I did not expect much from this place. My family and I stopped in at the university city walk location and to my surprise it was good food. The servings are sharable size and the atmosphere is family friendly. It is a burger place but there are other options in the Menu.

1950s

By Patpet58 |

Stop (not too quickly) for lunch in this diner with a typical 1950s American style. The burgers and fries are excellent, the salad with grilled chicken (grilled chicken club salad) is very tasty. Prices adequate for the American average.

Busy but decent food

By Ken Q |

I enjoyed lunch here. It was very busy but the service was still prompt. The food is okay but nothing super.

Great Burgers and Fries

By elizabethlascheid |

Johnny Rockets in Hollywood is a great time. Their burgers, fries and shakes are fantastic. The atmosphere is fun and relaxing. You can eat at a cute counter or in nice tables. It is a 50's type place and a chain, all look pretty much alike. They are cute with super friendly service and the food is always fresh and super tasty. If you have kids with you they will love it.

Good breakfast and lunch

By Carl-Henrik P |

While discovering Hollywood and LA with how on how off busses, we started the day with breakfast here. Toast with fried eggs between and coffee. Very good. And we also had our lunch here in the form of hamburgers and French fries. All food was very good. Also the service was very good.

Great service great food

By jennifer D |

The only reason they don’t have a 5 is because they don’t have s bathroom and you have to walk quite a distance to sketch area to use a restroom. Food was great place was clean.

Great food and great place!

By Chiara P |

It really seems to be in the 50's - 60's in there, and we loved the atmosphere. Kind waiters and waitresses, they made us feel very comfortable. The burgers were great and big, prices are in the LA average.

Great burgers, great service and atmosphere.

By Glen C |

Our 2nd night in Hollywood and we wanted a reasonably priced, tasty feed. so we headed here and certainly weren't disappointed. I had the new A1 burger and yes, it is an A! choice, delicious!

Good

By Foodie_16 |

The burgers hear are good, the fries we ordered had jalapenos on it they were fresh and spicy. The service was good, the waiter was nice and fast. The only problem I would say was the price for the pop $5 for a soda is a little pricy for me. If you go get a shake it is worth more.

Johnny Rockets still puts out the best American Burger.

By Jess90069 |

Johnny Rockets still puts out the best American Burger. Best Malts! Best Fries. They must have the best training, because every store I visit in LA is exactly the same, GREAT! Do not be surprised if there is a line, but the wait is well worth it for sure.

We have been here before but worth coming back

By Melissa H |

We have been here before but it was perfect place to sit down for lunch after walking up and down the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Hollywood in August is hot and crowded so finishing our lunch with milkshakes was a much needed treat

With my Grand Daughters

By Fallon_13 |

Just walking past the looks of this place from what we had seen on the movies just said come on in. Service was great, meals large so we ordered kids meals which were great. A very clean place and friendly staff plus a photo to top our time off here

Lunch was Good for Young and Old

By HLII |

Our party of 4--two grandparents and two grandsons--paused for lunch on our tour of Hollywood Blvd. It was 11:45 a.m. so we beat the rush for lunch on a Saturday in July. We chose to eat at the counter, because even at that hour, tables were scarce. The food was good, but because of the numbers of diners, it took a while to get our food. There aren't many restaurants in this location that offer a younger menu, so we think we chose wisely.

Decent Burger Joint

By tshep42 |

The location is the mall on the corner of Hollywood and Highland so if your checking out the Walk of Fame and getting hungry, it’s a nice place to grab a quick bite. They didn’t do any singing and dancing as some Johnny Rockets do but they did bring the food to the table. Service was quick & friendly. Food was standard for this fast food joint. I had one of the salads and enjoyed it. The only annoying thing was they had someone there hitting you up to get a picture done and then trying to sell you a package. It’s Hollywood I guess, but I found this quite intrusive.

Good burger. Didn't appreciate pushy women with camera.

Nice place, service with friendly and food hit the spot. Just didn't like being pushed into having my photo taken that I was told was "complimentary" but on her return attempted to sell us photos starting at 10 and then dropping to as low as 2$. Trying to forcefully sell overpriced photos was bad enough but the look she threw us when leaving.. we wont return

Original burger still amazing...

By MarkAnf |

We came for a quick bite to eat for a late lunch and it didn’t disappoint, we all had something different, but I went for the original and for me it is up there with the best burgers, not too big or small. The kids and wifey had shakes and they were superb!

Great food Everytime

By Globalbesties |

Came to LA and stayed at the Loew hotel with the big shopping mall. I ate here everyday for a week and a half. The food was great Everytime. From regular beef burgers to veggie bean burgers. I loved them all. Fries great too. Only thing I would change is the lady walking around taking pics and offering to sale them to you. I hate stuff like that

Great service

By vducarme |

We stopped at Johnny Rockets in Hollywood before taking a shuttle back to our hotel. Since we were on a tight schedule they made sure we got our meal very quickly so we wouldn’t miss our bus. I have to say my burger was very tasty! I would definitly recommand this place and will go back for sure!

Disappointing

By CatieGuide |

Popped into here for a dining experience whilst visiting the Hollywood area. Initially very welcoming but then left for a bit too long with the menus. Sadly, didn't have everything that was on offer in them. Drinks came out with chips and then another wait before the burgers. I realise it was mid afternoon on a hot day but the waitress wasn't helpful or even friendly which spoiled out visit. Food ok but overpriced for what it was, seating limited space in the booth, even with our lack of shopping! The thing that upset me was when I asked the waitress about the restroom she sent me down the mall to coded toilets (without the code). We'd been out all day and as there was no cutlery &I wanted to wash hands before eating. Gave up in the end. Save your money-it wasn't that good, try another food outlet. As for the toilets and the helpful, friendly team - try the D&G gaming across the other side of the mall!

Férias

By Waldemar |

Me and me Family were visiting hollywood boulevard and it was raining a lot We enter the restaurant and the lady didnt host us because we supposed to wait outside, ON THE RAIN Than explained very uneducated with us This is sad because we like this franchise But we will neve come back

Greasy food

By Gracepond |

we were looking for a quick bite and this place was fast but the food so greasy even the chili fries and man were they over priced

Expensive

By Edward3010 |

Been here before but won’t go again. The food is ok but not that fresh. Expensive for what we got! $50 for two and it was just a burger and a chilli dog. However the shakes were fantastic. Would I recommend it? No! There’s far better around

Good Burgers

By Christoph R |

Price Level is a bit higher here in Hollywood but the Burgers are fine, made quick to your taste. Always a safe joice

Cool vibes, good location

By thisiscliff |

Located in the second floor in the shopping complex on Hollywood Blvd you can find the nostalgic restaurant. It catches your attention as soon as you see it. We picked it for breakfast around 9am before things got busy. The ordering aspect of our meal was fast and we got brought our food very quick as well, but the server (Only 1 for an entire restaurant?) did not come back to check on us, and took about 20 mins to get us the bill. It sort of put a bad taste in my mouth, he was too busy talking to someone at the counter to come check on the guests (another table was waiting too), can't be good for your tips. Anyway, decent visit, cool 50s diner vibe, simple menu and good music.

Very good quality

By German_Addick |

We ate here twice in total. The restaurant is located in the Ovation shopping center. The service is very courteous and friendly. The decor is reminiscent of a typical diner. The burgers are freshly prepared and the side portions are quite large. The prices are a little higher, but still reasonable.

Great Food and Experience

By Aussie_Tourist79 |

We love Johnny Rockets and the Hollywood Blvd did not disappoint. The burgers and hakes are brilliant. If you are looking for a quick bite to eat then head up to Johnny Rocks and Grab a Shake and Burger.

Popped in after a stroll on the Walk of Fame

By jfm02719 |

Having never been to a Johnny Rockets before, we searched this place out in the mall. Reminds you of a 1950's diner. We sat at the bar. There's a jukebox in front of you that you can play for a nickel. Ordered the Johnny Rockets original burger, and it was delicious, much better than the one I had at Shake Shack earlier in the week. The ocolate Shake was great, but $7.49? Had the cheesy tater tots, and wished I hadn't. $23.00 for a burger, shake, and fries is rather steep, but when on vacation... If you park at the mall, they will validate your parking ticket.

Dinner

By Dean_Amy-2004 |

Had dinner here when visiting Hollywood Blvd. The food was pretty good and fair price for the portions. The inside eating area was very warm and the service, while friendly, was very slow. Overall, an ok meal.

Friendly, quick and tasty but expensive

By Daniela Ford |

Wanted to rate this more than average and less than very good. Service friendly and it has an ok atmosphere. Food was served quickly, burgers were tasty, fries were ordinary. Milkshakes are impressive. Prices are expensive but so is everything in the tourist precinct.

Food

By nigel p |

The food was fast and tasted good. The staff where nice and friendly. The only bad thing about it was that it's expensive for the food I got.

Great burgers

By Brett S |

Good burgers fast service and friendly staff. Speaks for itself. Had the loaded chilly fries with my burger and they were great.

great food and milkshakes

By Pauline C |

this is a great venue for that good tasting hamburger and fries we loved the milk shakes well worth going to eat there

Started slow but ended up great

By John O |

Service was slow at first since it appeared there was only one server working when we came in. Once he was able to take our order everything went well. The onion rings were great. I would recommend this place.

Breakfast @ Johnny Rockets

By Daniel S |

That right this JR serves breakfast and it was good for a place that deals with burgers and shakes. The price wasn't bad neither.

They didn’t dance

By MissChe |

I had talked this place up and made it sound like so much fun, because every Johnny Rockets that I’ve been to, the staff would all do a dance. NOpe, no dancing here, which was a bummer Food is good, yum and cheap! Staff are friendly. Good location - you can pop out and see the Hollywood sign 👍🏼

Good address

By Claire F |

Located in the Ovation Hollywood shopping center, at the center of the walk of fame, we found it by chance to our delight! A pretty 50s decoration, a very welcoming and efficient team, with a little humor in the presentation of a plate with a smile at the ketchup! Burgers, hot dogs, fries and milkshakes were perfect!!

Overpriced and a lot of "We can't"

By Parker J |

I came with 5 friends to get a burger and a shake. The shake was $7 and the burger was $10 with out fries. The waitress refused to split the check individually because "It's too much trouble". She told us to just split our fries and she would do three tickets. After all that trouble she managed to completely screw up the items on each check. She was not friendly and she did not even think to apologize.

Good atmosphere

By Spud60 |

Enjoyed our meal in the diner style of the 50s. The burgers and shakes were delicious and staff were very friendly.

Great Atmosphere and Breakfast

By LisaH502014 |

We were visiting the area for the first time and weren't sure where to get breakfast. This restaurant was a nice surprise. The service was great and the prices were great even though the restaurant is in a high tourist area. Large portions. We both got omelets, which came with tater tot like potatoes, and toast. Good coffee. Would definitely go again.

Brunch

By CAJMR05 |

Retro decor for a real taste of ‘old America’ takes you back and feels like you’re on the set of Happy Days! Portions are good and not overfacingly humongous. Staff as everywhere in the States are cheerful and efficient.

Awesome atmosphere & service

By Niki K |

Cute little diner in the shopping mall of hollywood. Awesome rocking atmosphere and great service. Food was delivered quickly. Milkshakes are amazing!

Johnny rockets

By emmie47 |

Lovely fresh cooked breakfast. Served with a smile. We had scrambled eggs, potatoes, sausage and soar dough bread.

Fun, 50's Themed Dinner

By Denise D |

Fun place to take the Kids or Visitors. Johnny Rockets recreates that 50's dinner vibe with hamburgers, fries, hot dogs, etc. and Milk Shakes.

Always a good experience

By Vegas-Queen666 |

Worth going for the milkshakes! Burgers are really tasty and the whole place gives a 1950's vibe. Very handy just off the Stars Walk of Fame.

Quick and easy dinnr

By Barbara H |

Have been here before when visiting LA. Burgers are good which quite a range to choose from. We had the Rocket single and the Smoke house. Both really good, not too large and quite flavoursome. Price good. Service really good. If you want something quick and easy with no fuss this is the place.

Great !

By Kullyk90 |

Was a nice surprise finding this here as had been to a branch in SF many years previously so bought back some happy memories ! Food was great, portions were large as with most american restaurants. Service was polite and friendly and they even supplied takeaway cups for my daughter which were a nice momento. Felt it was a little pricey - but we are in LA !

Terrible service and management

By Kiana H |

DO NOT EAT HERE, especially if you are black. This place is run by Hispanics who do not like us nor do they care about the quality of the food they serve us. Not only did they give me old food, they tried to defend the food they gave me and they argued with me before attempting a resolution. I calmly explained to the manager that my food wasn’t satisfactory and he gave me an attitude and said “everything we do is correct”. You could tell that both the burgers and the fries were pre-made as they were very oily and tasted old. I have eaten here plenty of times, I know what the food tastes like. He then proceeded to call security (who apologized for coming because they saw I was calm and was clearly right). They gave us our food within 5 minutes and when we reminded them of that, they said that’s normal because they make food fast. And talk about unprofessional, they tried to gang up on us, even having one of the cooks come from the back to yell that the food was fine. Eventually they decided to make another burger to show us how fast it was, it took 5 minutes for the burger alone and that freshly cooked burger looked nothing like the ones served. They were proven wrong but they still didn’t apologize and they were still rude. I got tired of being treated this way so I left but I will be calling corporate. I just wanted my money back, but I was told I ate too many bites. The photos are here. Clearly I didn’t eat this crap

Holiday with our Granddaughter

By Positano15 |

We went for both lunch and dinner, food was fresh and always tasty. Best ever milkshakes and I loved the hotdog. Service was friendly.

Just a burger joint

By MeredithAussie |

While the decor is reminiscent of traditional American diner, I was in general underwhelmed. Convenient location but noisy. The waitress wanted to sit me at the bar as I was alone, but as an older traveller with a bad back, I was not going to perch on a stool. She didn't seem too happy about my request to sit at a table, especially as the only tables available were set for four. My chicken salad was good, but the dressing came in a plastic sachet. Once it was served there was no follow up. I had to call the waitress' attention when I wanted something else.

Fast service

By Kjwall |

We needed a place to grab a quick dinner after completing a Hollywood tour. We were seated immediately and our waiter was very friendly. He was prompt with taking our order and with refilling our drinks. The food came very quickly and was delicious. We were in and out in less than 30 minutes. Delicious food, friendly and fast service, and decent prices ( more then McDonalds but less then the Hard Rock Cafe downstairs ) We will be back!

Good Lunch

By AussieMum14 |

Small place with really tasty burgers. Service was fast and food was good. Also enjoyed a chocolate malted milkshake.

Good food, just watch out for the photographer!

By HelenBezzo |

The chicken tenders that I had were good and waiting staff were very friendly. The reason for my rating of 3 is due to the persistent photographer. After telling her that I didn't want to buy the photographs that she had taken, she continually came back to our table with a new bartered down price. Being the stubborn person that I am, I didn't back down and buy them from her. I was at a restaurant, not a theme park! I think if Johnny Rockets stopped the complimentary photos and just asked diners to share their photos via social media then people will have a more enjoyable meal.

Good Burgers

By melanie a |

We ate here on our first night in LA we were exhausted after an 11 hour flight and just wanted something quick and this was only a minute from our hotel. The theeming is fun and the service is fast and friendly. We orderd a burger each and a portion of fries each, we really only needed one portion of fries as they were so big. We really enjoyed the burgers they were tasty and hot.

Eat your way into the the 1950's!

By Candice H |

Time travel to a 50's soda shop! Food, music, atmosphere! This is a chain, there are more than one of these.

One of the best burgers we have had in the USA and in a really authentic diner

By rustygrecian |

We really enjoyed this burger and were particularly pleased to find that the fries were sold separately so we could share fries. After 2 weeks of American portions it was good to order less and be able finish a meal and even consider a desert.

Themed Lunch

By KiddyBoy |

Good choice on the menu, staff were all friendly, large portions and the food tasted great. Our son loved his milk shake.

Tasty Burgers and a Perfect Spot to Unwind

By Pasifik72 |

Johnny Rockets was a great find! The burgers and fries were super yummy, and it was the perfect quiet spot to relax and enjoy dinner after a long day. Great food and a nice break from the crowds! Nick our server was awesome!

Amazing burgers

By Lasse L |

Dropped by this place when first visiting Hollywood and had no expectations for the food. The price felt a big high when first glancing the menu but we still ordered a bunch of burgers and fries and wow, where they good! The burgers were simply perfect, all of their components very well executed and in a perfect harmony. This is how a hamburger should be like, great raw materials and all components working well together. We ate at two other of their locations later during our visit and they all held the same high quality, although the prices seemed slightly different in each, Hollywood being the most expensive. The best ”fast food” type of burgers this far.

Nice food, didn't appreciate the free photo scam

By jhrfox |

Stopped here and had a reasonable burger meal with my family. The girl taking the "free" photos clearly in league with the waiter. When we didn't buy the originally over priced and unwanted pictures, our parking ticket was not validated meaning our parking cost $7 rather than $2. Sad really as not necessary and a cheap shot.

Meh

By AmelieRule |

It was the end of a fantastic day but it made the day slip. I received the wrong milkshake for start and then some random photographer came up to us and took pictures and didn't tell us why although they where nice pictures the burgers where small and bit the best tbh the best but was the milkshake. Overall meh.

Acceptable, family friendly

By guac_and_roll |

Stopped by for a quick feed before heading to the Observatory. Ordered shakes, onion rings and fries. The shakes were okay (the strawberry and banana shake wasn't blended properly and was rather chunky), the fries bland. The onion rings were the saving grace.

Great and cheap! Top atmosphere!

By kuchta33 |

Olds schools, I have to come again! Great service, good prizes. Cheap, about 10$ per burger.. So delicious!

Fast, Fresh and Friendly!

By Shelley J |

This place is fast, the food is fresh and the staff were very friendly...what more can you ask for! There are burgers and more burgers, with fries on the side, unlimited fries even. There are also cute little table top juke boxes, with some Aussie representation even. It’s a 50s diner style joint not fine dining.

Good hamburgers.

By 754natasar |

Good hamburgers and sallads. The service varies depending on who is serving you but they definitely offer good service. Love the place, remindes me on American movies.

Super Fast Service

By WiseTreeOwl |

Very busy restaurant, not surprising given the location, we got one of the only free tables when we visited. Service was friendly and quick, food being delivered in under 10 minutes which was amazing considering how busy they were. The food was also very good, best burgers we have had in a long time.

An ok burger

By Mark R |

Visited Johnny Rockets this afternoon. The Houston Burger was ok and my wife's Bacon and Cheese Fries were fine. Nothing to right home about

Good place for food

By buffalojim67 |

The Johnny Rockets in Hollywood is a good place to stop for a snack or a meal. Try the milkshakes, they are delicious.

Best milkshakes

By MoonieS1 |

I love the milkshakes here! The burgers are great too. Convenient place to have lunch if you're in the Dolby theatre area.

Well located and enjoyable

By sujatojo |

Had chili cheese fries, one of the things I love most about America. Friendly staff and good service with the sort of food you would expect.

Great food and service

By Vanessa F |

We ate here twice in our short stay in Hollywood. Both times we had excellent food and service. The menu was quite extensive, a lot to choose from. No alcohol is served here, only soft drink, milkshakes, juice and water. It is set up like an old fashioned diner, and there were jukeboxes on some of the tables, but unfortunately these weren't working at the time.

OMG best burger so far

By T33504167 |

Burgers here are amazing, service. Not so good but well worth visiting if you’re looking for the perfect burger.

Quick meal

By Emilie.G |

Simple welcome Very friendly and dynamic staff The quantities of onion rings and fries are very satisfactory There were 4 of us and we took 1 portion of fries and onion rings to share in addition to our burgers and salad

Hamburgueres

By chveiga |

I believe that this franchise even has one or another unit here in Brazil, but it is not so common. There in the US has everywhere, and it is definitely a good choice to eat hamburger. It’s not the best hamburger in life, but it’s definitely better than a McDonald’s.

Only the name is special

By Steve S |

A $10.00 burger should have more atmosphere associated with it. The onion rings were bland and the dipping sauce was nothing special. I was disappointed as it did not live up to the hype.

Best Burger, French Fries and Onion Rings Ever

By NucciaNice |

This particular diner had the best burger, fries and onion rings we had in California. The service was brilliant, friendly and very professional. After bringing our drinks order, the waiter took our food order. We did not have to wait long for the onion rings, and shortly after the main order. We enjoyed our meal very much and would recommend eating there. It was not too expensive and so good for families

Lunch

By Jan L |

We had lunch here and it was lovely I had salad but be warned it was massive. But gorgeous and they packed it up for me to have later. The service was great and food milkshake to die for. Would highly recommend they was always on top of things cleaning all the time lovely atmosphere too.

Arguably one of the best burgers

By Beatrice T |

What I would consider a common food in an American cuisine would be burgers and I ate lots of it while being there. The Route 66 burger was what I would have considered one of the best burgers after trying out so many. We also had the chili cheese fries but was relatively boring compared to the burger. Atmosphere was a bit like a fast food chain, but the total bill came up to USD 24 for that one burger and sides so don't expect fast food prices. Separately, a guy came up to offer free postcard photos - we understood from the waiter that the company leases a small space from Johnny Rockets to do that, so don't be alarmed (as we were, given that it is a touristy place) if approached!

Nice place to eat while on the Walk of the Stars.

By mrsarbee |

My granddaughter did not care for her burger and without any hesitation they removed the price from the bill. We were offered a complimentary photo at our booth. Of course when the lady came back with it she wanted us to buy 4 other pictures. We refused, and she kept going down in price. We finally purchased them all. Not sure if she works for Johnny Rockets or is just allowed to come in different businesses.

Retro menu

By Linda N |

Lots of places to eat in Hollywood, but we wanted burgers and fries. We found Johnny Rockets on the second floor of the Mall up from the Chinese Theater. Retro 50's look inside with REALLY good burgers and honest to gosh milkshakes. Good service and better than usual fast food.

GREAT 50'S THEME DINER

By Maria & Rick |

Holidaying from Australia for 2 months with wife. We loved this place to eat for a quick & cheap meal. Was great to go back in time when life growing up was simpler. The vibe & feeling is awesome listening to all the old music your parents may have listened to growing up in the 50/60's era. Milkshakes are to die for so yummm. As we ate here most nights we tried just about every flavour. Food is huge you really do only need to order 1 meal to share.

Perfect place

By Garmon U |

One day my friend recommended this place to me and now I am happy to come here with my family, this is the best place in Hollywood where they cook the most delicious French fries and the most delicious burgers.

Good fun, good food

By Sage2724 |

We were here very late, service still bright and friendly. Great venue ! Best milk shakes ever. Hamburgers delicious .

Best Cheesesteak this side of Philly!

By Victoria652 |

I know that the restaurant is known for its hamburgers and shakes, but you really need to try the cheesesteak. The roll was toasted and the extras included sautéed onions and peppers. The steak was shaved prime rib. Fantastic! The place was decorated like a 1950's diner with a juke box that I'm not sure actually worked. The staff was friendly and helpful. Our server recommend that our son try one of the milkshakes which was rich and creamy. The hamburgers were very good. This was a fun atmosphere.

Awesome Burgers!

By markbres |

Burgers are to write about, oh so good enjoyed the onion rings too.....can't get over how fast the orders are made, sitting at the bar watching the cooks is awesome, excellent place for lunch....only thing was the girl taking pictures was kind of a pain in the butt. We didn't want the pictures and she would keep coming back to try and sell them again. No thanks usually means NO.

Very good food and staff at our disposal

By Emmerick |

This restaurant despite having a little difficulty finding it was great, the staff at our disposal and exceptional kindness The food was delicious and very affordable in terms of prices I will gladly return to enjoy the rest of the map
