Johnny Rockets

Location: Johnny Rockets, Burlington Mall, MA
Meal: Late night dinner.

First of all, let me say that going to Johnny Rockets after 10 pm on a Friday night is probably not the best idea. It left the service a little lacking, but overall, it was a decent experience. I think that they were pretty much done for the night and we happened in after a marathon shopping event. There were about 2 other parties there, and the waiter seemed to be pretty new. He was really nice, though, and as attentive as he was able to be.

There were 2 of us, and we both ordered cheeseburgers and cherry Cokes. I got the half onion rings/half fries. My friend got just fries.

The burgers came out separately from the fries. I guess they cook the burgers out back, and the fries are made out front, behind the counter. So there was kind of a lag between when I got my fries/rings and when my friend got her fries. Once we had all the food on the table, we realized that we could have shared a small order of fries and have still been totally full. As it was, we barely made a dent in the sides. I ate the entire burger, though. It was good, and cooked as I requested (medium).

You get these neat little paper dipping bowls that you can put the ketchup in. They also have something called "red red sauce", which is a ketchup-based sauce for fries and burgers. I can't figure out what else is in it. It was okay but I didn't put it on my burger. Burgers come with mustard and mayonnaise. Love it.

It's a good place to go for a table-service meal that is reasonably priced in the mall. The decor is flashy.

Another cool thing is they have straw dispensers on each table, and the waiter pulled up the top so we could each grab a straw when he brought our Cokes.
