Weekend Food Tripping at: Johnny Rockets

When Johnny Rockets opened its first restaurant in the Philippines, the "Back to the Future" style diner has always been on my "must visit" and "must-try-the-hamburger" place!  Seldom do I set food around Eastwood Libis, but once I did, the dance number from the Johnny Rockets lady outside the restaurant with my favorite songs from the past puts us on spot and we have to give this restaurant a try "now or never" style!  We weren't that hungry but what the heck?  It's burger!  It's calories worth to intake!  *hehehe*

I literally walked back time and thought about the times my mom and dad were dating as we wait for our food to be served!  Everyone's on their costumes and the songs played are dance music from the past!  No need to put Php1.00 as the songs were playing nonstop!  It must be a perfect timing for us to visit the place!


Grilled Chicken Breast Sandwich with Side Salad
Php405.00 (approx $9.40)


The Original Hamburger with Unlimited American Fries
Php285.00 + Php50 (cheese) = Php335.00 (approx $7.80)


I have to share this very cute sexy Coca Cola glass!  Hubby loves it so much we have to ask the waiter if they sell this!  Unfortunately they won't! :(

Both burgers tastes okay, I would say I can get similar burger experience at other burger joints!  What's impressive and original are the ambiance and the staff service!  I love how groovy they are! Check out the groovy wild hair of the waiter right behind the blue balloon! :)



And you know what adds up the charm?  They serve you fries with a nice "Ketchup-y SMILE"

  1. I've seen the place in Eastwood but haven't dined in there. The unlimited fries deal looks too good to pass up and the burger is actually enormous ha!

    The best burgers I've tried to date our Burger King's Whopper and Big Better Burger's Hahalapeno.

    Happy weekend Nikki! :)

  3. awesome lookin' burger ^_^

    i love the theme, it reminds me of arnold's diner back in the day (near where I.S. used to be on makati ave~LOL am that old) i think there's a diner like this on timog as well, just don't know if it's still standing.

    do they play 50's-60's music on the juke box?

    ingat sis, have a great long weekend

  6. Unlimited fries does not make its PHP195.00 Hotdog any better. Purefoods and Sabrett hotdog stands are far better in terms of taste.

  9. My boyfriend and I have dined here two times. It's simply a no-brainer to order their burger since this is a burger joint. Great ambiance; all the better as soon as the waiters start dancing! Though it's quite pricey, I'd have to say it's all worth it cause the servings are HUGE! Glad you enjoyed :)

  11. Becky, I know! we have Forever 21, Payless Shoesource , Krispy Kreme and now Johnny Rockets, I wish there will be more coming down soon! Let's say...ULTA? The whole ULTA and COSTCO? hahahaha

    Skysenshi, yay! Enjoy when you visit, do not be in a hurry and chow down on unlimited fries then jog your way back home! hehehe!

    Anonymous, well if we're talking about Hotdogs, it's all different story, it is quite pricey to dine in here but its worth the experience IMO :)

  12. zashiq5, wow, I haven't been to any 50s diner in Baguio! Now you got me thinking, i should visit Baguio again some time!

    Gio, thanks!

  13. though i agree it's a bit pricey to dine at themed places like these, but, after all, it isn't just the food that is served in such places but the ambiance as well? and woah, just look at that burger patty, it's as thick as how home made patties are and i dare say even fr the pix it has very little if at all any extenders.

    wow, if we had an ulta, cvs, or walgreens, it would give the beauty bar a run for their money LOL

    hay back to work, y'all have a great week ♥
