Johnny Rockets is a 50's style diner which has locations across the U.S. This particular location is situated inside the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino in Reno. I had never heard of the restaurant before staying at the Grand Sierra so I did not know what to expect. I like the 50s music and atmosphere so I was excited to try this place out.
The food is not fancy, just your typical 50s style diner options. They offer burgers, sandwiches, fries, onion rings, an shakes. However, the food was pretty appetizing. I had grilled cheese and fries and enjoyed it as a fun treat while on vacation. The dark chocolate milkshake was the best part of the meal. Tip: if you sign up for their email club you will receive a free burger.
The servers here are really fun and entertaining. They really go all out on the 50's theme just perfectly so it is a lot of fun. While you are eating the staff dances and sings.
I love the 50s style atmosphere. All the waiters wear the old 50's style waiter uniform. There is 50's music that is playing in the background along with little jukeboxes on each table where you can purchase songs. Definitely a fun atmosphere that you don't really see anywhere else. Another fun aspect is that it is open in the middle of the casino, so you can see everything going on around you include the sports betting area. Another nice aspect of this location is the great hours. They are open until 11pm on weekends.
Johnny Rocket's inside the Grand Sierra is a great place for indulging in comfort style diner foods. Whether you want to watch the game via the huge TV in the sports betting area or just want to be entertained by the 50's style music and entertainment, either way you can't go wrong.
