Away: Johnny Rockets

Johnny Rockets is a diner style restaurant, they are spread all over the U.S. although we were lunching at the Yonge and Dundas square location.

Three of us were eating, and we all chose different meals, although each meal was pattie based, Alex ordered the Pattie Melt, I had the #12, and Wissy had the Original Burger.

Alex probably made the right choice, our burgers were a little bit too gooey, they tasted great but all of the more liquid ingredients squished out the sides and made eating much more messy than a burger should be. This didn't stop the burgers tasting great but it did detract from the overall experience. The Pattie Melt on the other hand, what a great idea, take all of the burger ingredients, spread them out on toast and apply heat, assemble as a sandwich - genius.

The service was good, although I do always feel as if there is something slightly more important going on somewhere else that the staff want to get on to, they are attentive and speedy but I always feel like we are not where they want to be. Which is a shame as 99% of Toronto seems to get the service thing spot on.

All of the sides were good, honest fries and tasty onion rings, and the soda was as good as post mix can be although I expect bottomless sodas in a diner and they weren't, maybe I am being a snob?
