Experiencing 'Johnny Rockets' for the first time (A Review)

I have never been into any 'Johnny Rockets' store ever before. Not even heard its name. It was actually my sister who introduced me this restaurant when we are walking around last November 30, 2012 at the Ayala Harbor Point in Subic Bay Freeport Zone (Philippines) when we feel we wanna eat to a place we never been into before -- Of course to a eating place with a reasonable price.

My sister introduced me couple of restaurants and each of it we take a look but doesn't fit the budget as to we would like not so expensive foods.

It was Johnny Rockets she introduced to me lastly and since food prices are good and the food itself is indeed tempting, together with the whole family, we decided to try this restaurant.

Johnny Rockets, as to what I have read in the web, already been catering in place all-over the world already which have a 1950-style fine dinning restaurants. And as  a trademark, and as to what we experience in Johnny Rockets Habor Point Subic, they are very popular for having a dancing servers. Taking not literally, 'dancing servers',  means the servers, together with all the staffs (cooks, food servers, and store managers) dance from time to time to entertain their customers. In addition to the article I have read, in some of the world, Johnny Rockets also have the 'Juke Box' inside the store for the customers to enjoy the 1950 style. Johnny Rockets is also known for its famous original recipe of their burgers.

As we have checked on the menu list, the prices were still expensive (for some) but then for us, it was still reasonable for they have also some variances like the discounted meals (catering only during weekdays -- in Harbor Point Subic Bay). 

We tried the 'Burger Steak Meal' (served with rice). It was on 50% discount then and will only costs Php99.50 (around USD$2.43 / SGD$3.10). The soda drinks were also on 'bottomless' promo for only Php119 (around USD$2.90 / SGD$3.72).

Well, the total experience was great as we really love the taste of the 'Burger Steak' having the taste of the beef so real, feels like homemade style, and not like the burger steak served in some fast food chains with artificial taste.

Below are some of the foods we enjoyed the most during our lunch in Johnny Rockets:


Coke Float

The Coke Float my niece really loved!


The 'Bottomless' Soda drink


The Half Onion Rings /  Half Fries

The Beef Burger Steak Meal

The Chicken Steak Meal

Above anything else, in any meal we have, apart from the reasonable price and the foods' taste, it the togetherness of the whole family really counts. We all enjoy the foods and we enjoy as well being with the family.
