Is Johnny Rockets worth it?

[kwazi07]

Hi everyone!

 

I've never been on a ship with a Johnny Rockets. Is the food really worth the cover charge? I love burgers and fries, but not sure if I love $7 pp worth of burgers. We're not really specialty dining people, and we were looking forward to trying it, but I don't see how it's that much different from Steak n Shake. Is it that amazing?

 

Thanksn

Note that the $7 includes all the soda you want too.

I would say no. If you want to try it, that's one thing. If you want an amazing burger, I didn't find it to be so.

Hubby loves it, so we usually have a lunch there. I'm not a big eater, and don't really care if I go or not. If we go, we usually also get him a malt too (an extra charge, $4 I think?)

Not bad for breakfast if you fancy a change

[cbaker1974]

It's ok, nothing special. The milkshakes are good, but only because milkshakes in and of themselves are good.

 

We do it for a change of pace on ships that have few options for dining or when it's free, like an Oasis class boardwalk balcony package.

 

Prefer five guys and in and out burger...would like Royal to replace Johnny Rockets with something else since we can eat JR at home.

Agree about the breakfast thing! Some ships have a free breakfast there, and we liked it on HOS :)

Nothing special about the burger but the server told us we could order everything on the menu for that one charge, except the milkshakes, as I recall. Would be great for a big eater. Have visions of college football team really enjoying JR.

We did try it on the Liberty a few years ago and it was fine but nothing great. I'll try it again on the Explorer, this spring, and have a feeling it will be a little better. I think I like the venue and I do like a good burger, fries, and malt. :D I've had better but sometimes the atmosphere makes all the difference.

IME the grilled cheese with bacon is AWESOME.

[famof4togo]

I say go if you want a change of pace, fun atmosphere etc...but don't go for the burger...we have them here in So Cal so its nothing I have to do while on the ship but its not bad by no means....

Will have to try that next time. Thanks!

It is worth it every now and then to us. It's a good, fun break.

Steak n Shake rules in my book. I DEFINITELY prefer SNS over JRs---but who am I---you just mike like JR.

[bert425]

as others have said, the burgers are nothing special, tho the rings are pretty good.

 

the Shakes/Malts are the draw tho, those are good. .but are an additional $5 on top of the $7 cover.

 

The worst thing I can say about it?. . expect to spend 1 1/2-2 hours there. . it's treated like service in the MDR. . ie: expect it to take a LONG time.

 

it took us over an hour and a half a few weeks ago on Liberty. . when we went after the lunch rush, and there were literally THREE other customers in there, and still took them a Long, Long, time.

 

but if you have time to kill on a sea day, watching the waiters dance is entertaining enough

I actually really enjoy JR's on the ship and eat there at least once per cruise! It's the best place onboard to get a burger and I love their onion rings!

 

It's no different from anything you can get on land, but it's become a tradition for me!

It's the only place to find a good burger on the ship. Good luck with whatever you call that thing in the Windjammer. I guess its a burger. If you load it with ketchup it helps.... a little.

maybe we have been lucky but we have never been close to 1 hour there. 30-45 minutes most of the time.

It's OK , just OK not remarkable nor memorable. we tried it on EOS.

[cb at sea]

Have you ever eaten at a Johnny Rockets on land? They're good..and it's a change from the ship's food. They do NOT have a full land-based menu, however.

[davekathy]

kwazi07...Go far it at least once. Good food, music, atmosphere and entertainment.

[ksmith61]

Great cook to order breakfast for free opposed to the sub par breakfast buffet in the Windjammer. Great lunch also for about one visit per cruise. I eat while my wife drinks her shake.

But the ones in the MDR or from room service are just as good if not better.

Go to the free breakfast.
