While many praise the friendly staff and enjoyable atmosphere, some reviews highlight significant issues with slow service, lack of attentiveness, and concerns about food quality or preparation.
"so we're in a mall, spending our money, getting tired and thinking heck lets go to a diner as it seems to be having a nice atmosphere and nice jukebox music, not expecting much, i mean a diner in a mall.
and BOOM here comes Queen with her great smile, being so kind and attentive! it made all the difference.
food was good too, but Queen is killing it!
Thank you so much <3"

"Definitely not the Johnny Rockets that I remember. Service was VERY slow and standing in line you are not acknowledged that you exist. Cleanliness is definitely an issue here and I was concerned about those practices as I sat and saw employees in the kitchen."

"Dumb place ,absolutely not recommended!!!
There is a sinlgn by the door it's says ,,wait here for seating,, my pregnant wife and me wait close to 15 min by the door we was wait for someone to come and take us to a table...many people left the place already at least 7 empty table...no one came to us to say anything like how long we need to wait more ...maybe they resist, I don't know
Instead of this place we recommend chilli's 🌶"
