JOHNNY ROCKETS: BURGERS WITH A SIDE OF INDIGESTION

JOHNNY ROCKETS (PROVIDENCE PLACE MALL)  59 Providence Pl., Providence, RI 02903

JOHNNY ROCKETS was founded in LA in 1986 and is 1950s diner themed, with red leather stools and chrome surfaces with mock jock boxes and neon lights.

We were out in the sun in Downtown Providence on our way to the State House and when the temperature hit 107° F we started to feel woozy, realising it was time to grab some food. We ventured into the depressing and gargantuan Providence Place Mall. It took us a while to navigate the five or more floors before we found the limited food court and a Johnny Rockets.

πŸ₯” Tots = $4.99

πŸ’¦ Bottled water = $2.50

😒 Taxes & Fees* = $3.17

πŸ’° Total = $34.63


πŸ€” We saw on a separate receipt that we had been charged a *service fee of $0.65. We have no idea what this was for.

Collect your own food at Johnny Rockets.

πŸ‘Ž We also left no gratuity as there was no customer service at all: you order your own food and it is placed in a bag at the end of the counter, which you have to fetch yourself.

Fresh beef patties at Johnny Rockets.

πŸ‘ We sat around the edge of the outlet and watched our food being prepared. The beef patties were fresh, not frozen, and were grilled in front of us.

The burgers were tasty and we enjoyed the Johnny Rockets sauce.

The portion of tots was a good size, while the fries were not as plentiful. This was not a bad thing, as the fries tasted of oil. Indeed, the food rifted on us later and we had buy some acid controller pills from a CVS Pharmacy for $6.00.

All in all, this was a disappointing and pricey lunch highlighting the importance of planning ahead when exploring a new place!
