Johnny Rockets offers the food, fun, and friendliness reminiscent of feel-good Americana. Every Johnny Rockets restaurant offers its guests simple, great-tasting food from a menu of all-American favorites, including juicy hamburgers, hand-dipped shakes and malts and freshly-baked apple pie. Guests also enjoy an all-American retro restaurant, servers who know the secret behind getting ketchup out of the bottle, tabletop jukeboxes that belt out tunes for a nickel and authentic décor.

Providence sports two Johnny Rockets, one in Providence Place Mall and one on Thayer Street. In both, the staff makes happy faces with the ketchup when the fries comes, smile and make small talk, swirl the straws out of their dispensers, and do the silly "Johnny Rocket" dance when it comes up on the tableside nickle jukebox.

Johnny Rockets, recently ranked as one of the top 50 growth chains by Restaurant Business magazine, announced it that will develop new restaurants in Rhode Island, Boston, New York City, throughout the Northeast, and across the entire the US.

Johnny Rockets' expansion in Rhode Island is part of a larger strategic plan that will result in 125 new Johnny Rockets restaurants, a 70 percent increase from the chain's current 173 units. This dynamic growth includes restaurants on board Royal Caribbean International cruise ships.

Johnny Rockets has received many accolades recognizing it as a top restaurant, including its ranking as the No. 1 full-service hamburger restaurant on Entrepreneur magazine's Franchise 500 list, Best Hamburger by What's Doing in Denver and numerous top 10 rankings from AOL City Guide (formerly Digital City) and Citysearch in multiple categories in cities across the country.
