Johnny Rockets is an All-American diner, famous for its original hamburgers and great shakes!  This international diner has been in the metro for almost a year now, but it was just recently we visited their first outlet in Eastwood city.

Where the good times roll!

Yes, this is surely a diner where the good times roll! The diner’s ambience was really comforting with the juke box playing top old songs. You would also be entertained with the friendly staff dancing and making their moves in the whole place.

Johnny Rockets offers onion rings, fries, side salad, burgers, kid’s meals, other favorite sandwiches, desserts, shakes, and a lot more…

Strawberry Banana Shake @275php

Of course, it is a must to have their shakes and so we had one Strawberry Banana…very creamy, rich in flavor, really yummy! I think this was the most expensive shake we had, but it’s worth the price and they would give you the excess in a separate glass.

Route 66 @465php

As for their 100% pure imported ground beef patties, we ordered their Route 66, made with Swiss cheese, grilled mushrooms, grilled onions and mayonnaise. And another good thing about Johnny Rockets is that their fries are unlimited!!!!! You can eat all the fries you want with your big, tasty, satisfying burger…

Egg salad sandwich @305php

We also tried their Egg Salad Sandwich, thinking it would just be a light one and for a diet-conscious me…: P but I guess when you’re in Johnny Rockets, diets are meant to be ignored, and every meal is rich, tasty and plentiful.

Jukebox @1peso per song

We were so full and really had a satisfying dinner. Thanks to great food, friendly staff and free entertainment that made our first Johnny Rockets experience an unforgettable one! By the way, you can play your favorite old songs in their Jukebox for only 1 peso; you really have to try it, fun, fun, fun! See you! Other branches are located in Tomas Morato and Robinsons Galleria.

Mr. Jones, the latest resto in Greenbelt 5 was our first choice to have our mini Christmas get-together…  inspired by the 1950′s diner which offers comfort food like burgers, pancakes, shakes and other American favorites… we invaded it!

We had a great satisfying dinner, not able to try their milkshakes and special drinks because we all got so full from their big, big food servings. But we’ll definitely visit again for their sinful drinks and desserts.  Meal prices were a bit expensive but I think reasonable because of its big serving and delicious ingredients.

We had a warning that their dishes were good for sharing but still each of us ordered our own preferred meal (wanting to try almost all their dishes)… so here are all that we indulged that night… diets are meant to be broken just for this night… haha.

P ordered for the famous Miss Frenchie’s French Dip – thinly sliced beef with onion light sauce served on a crispy baguette with onion rings and french fries… very big serving, definitely good for sharing…

F was in the mood for a protein & carbo diet, so he had the Spanish Super Grande Omelette – lots of eggs, sauteed chorizo, herb roasted mushrooms & bell peppers, black olives, cheddar cheese, roasted rosemary breakfast potatoes topped with salsa fresca… turned out to be a super overload protein & carbo meal… haha.

As for me, on a diet as always, wanting a meal not too big for me, I ordered Rosemary Grilled Chicken & Turkey Melt – cheese, pesto, mixed greens, tomatoes, onions, topped with sweet cranberry compote on toasted rye and fries… yes, I was right this meal serving was just right for me…

K was late, arrived hungry, can’t really decide on what to order, just opted for Fish N’ Chips – old fashioned beer battered served with french fries, tartar sauce, spicy cocktail sauce, malt vinegar & homemade coleslaw…maybe a good thing to try Mr. Jone’s version of fish n’ chips..

R hungry for cheese…tried their Wicked Truffled Mac n’ Cheese – baked with 3 types of macaroni, 4 cheeses, canadian style double smoked bacon baby portobello mushrooms, green peas drizzled with truffle oil… a very rich, yummy, and cheesy meal…

B, known for being a meatloaf lover, didn’t had any other choice but Big Mama’s Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf – filled with chorizo, served with haricots verts, roasted herb tomato gravy & potato puree topped with a fried egg… she definitely enjoyed her super big meatloaf…
