Johnny Rockets

First Time
My friend, Dancel, told me that the fries are unlimited and the burger is delicious on Johnny Rocket, so it got my interest. It was my first time going to Eastwood and I almost got lost (haha). We were supposed to eat at Sambokojin but I was late because of the overtime on my OJT.

The place was very vintage looking. The tiles were checkered black and white. You will feel that you were in the 70's or 80's time. The music were all 70's to 80's like Dancing Queen. There was also a jukebox where you can play and select a song by putting a peso. The waiters and waitresses dance on a certain time interval with different dance moves.

We (I, Odessa and Justin) ordered The Original Burger (P285) and Burger Steak (P245). Norman ordered Chicken Tenders (P300+). The lady already served us fries while waiting for our order. We were also asked how our burgers will be grilled. We said well done.

The Original

Burger Steak w/ Odessa
The burger steak was OK. It was served with corn and rice. The Original Burger was delicious. The patties were grilled but they were still reddish and Odessa didn't like it. She was saying that it was under cook but it isn't. Justin didn't even ate his burger because he was too full on the burger steak alone so he just take it out. We even take out fries (lucky haha). Norman was also full on his meal.

Odessa w/ the coupons and free mug
We also danced (I really sucked at that dancing) with the waiters because they will give you a coupon of free unlimited drinks which will be valid on your next visit. It had an expiration of 1 month. We also asked about the freebies. Our bill was P2000+ and luckily they gave us a mug. We decided to give it to Odessa since she was the only girl? (haha).

Second Time
Edd and I decided to eat at Johnny Rockets because the free coupons (unli drinks) were going to expire. Odessa, Norman weren't able to come because they were busy so they just gave it to Edd. Justin was supposed to follow us but there was a misunderstanding on the branch. He thought that we were going to the Eastwood Branch (which is near his home) but we went to the Tomas Morato Branch because it is nearer from Mapua.

Outside

The branch at Tomas Morato was better than on Eastwood. The place was bigger and well lighted.

Coupon w/ Edd
I ordered the Bacon Cheddar Single (P395) and Edd ordered St. Louis (P395). We were asked if we want to upgrade our fries to onion rings (add P50) and we said yes. We also presented our coupons for the unli drinks. Edd had coke and I had lemonade. We just exchange drinks time after time (haha).

Freebies
While waiting for our food, we roamed around the restaurant. We took a picture of the jukebox and the freebies. Edd inserted a peso on the jukebox but nothing happened. You should put the peso on the mini jukebox beside your table.

St. Louis w/ Edd
The onion rings were OK. The lemonade was neat. It would have been better if it was sweeter. The Bacon Cheddar Single was delicious though the bun taste like mold or there was something wrong with my taste buds? (haha). Edd said that his burger was delicious. We didn't shared our burger because it looks the same (haha).

We were supposed to have a picture with this lady, unluckily he already changed her clothes and left because her shift was done :( (haha).

The speed of the their internet connection was very fast that Edd even played DotA in Garena and I uploaded the picture right away on Facebook. You can see in this picture the mini Jukebox I'm talking about which is indicated by the red arrow.

Before Leaving
Third Time

I saw this contest on Johnny Rocket's FB fan page. I was disappointed because we didn't have a wacky photo when we ate the first time. I told Odessa, Justin and Norman to just submit a photo because we might won. Luckily there were only five entries and three will be chosen. Then we won! (haha). So we decided to claim the GCs and eat at the same time. Justin asked us if it's ok to take P1000 worth of GC because he will treat his brother. We said ok.

Rocket Wings
We asked our patties to be cooked in super well done. The rocket double was huge it had two patties. It was delicious. The rockets wings was small yet spicy. It had a mayonnaise sauce with it and served with rice.

I had my picture with Ate. She looks like RR

Overall the Johnny Rockets experience was fun. I was able to taste a different kind of burger. I can say that it is one of the best burgers that I had tasted. The unlimited fries was good and most of the time you will get full because of this.
