    Thanks guys. Great review. I personally didn’t think the grilled cheese looked all that great. Was Hardley melted. U took the deal with the shakes much better than I would have. Looking forward to next time

      Thank you! Yeah watching the video, I realized the grilled cheese wasn’t fully melted. It was a frustrating situation but sometimes it happens. Thanks for watching!

    The best review you have given us. I guess the old saying 'you can't win them all' fits perfectly. So, on to the next one. Truly enjoy all your adventures.

      Dishonest management might be why they've had so much turnover thru the years. They always have signs for HELP WANTED , especially BOH (Back of the house)
      - They specialize in BURGERS, but you got grilled cheese (three-slabs of different flavored VELVEETA-type cheese slices 😂) & a Hot-Dog 😂
      - A place that specializes in BURGERS, I would stick to what they know, & not try turning them into bartenders (no matter what the menu claims they offer)
      - That said, I do ❤ love & appreciate your videos 👍

    We totally agree with your review of this Johnny Rockets. We waited 1.5 hours in a Wednesday to get 2 hot dogs! Keep up the great job team!

    Appreciate the sincere review…every time I go by that place it’s almost nonexistent and watching this video helps me see that I’m not missing anything 👍

      No problem! It wasn't our favorite, that's for sure. Most people have agreed. Thanks for watching!

    Great honest review, "Gratis on the way overdue adult milkshakes, so sorry".. "No we are going charge you, for the shakes after all"..Not good, leaving the restaurant, with a bad feeling..Not an ethical way of doing business, and for repeat customers...The initial, "goodwill" was forever lost..My experience, with J.Rs. is an overpriced fast food franchise..Only feature missing, was the drive through..Subbed, and always a thumbs up!

    • @thealtemlife
      @thealtemlife  2 роки тому +1

      Yeah we thought it was going to be a better experience than what it was. It’s unfortunate because it seemed like it would be a good one. Have to agree with you on the pricing. It was expensive! Thanks for watching and thanks for the sub!

  • @VetteGuy57
    @VetteGuy57 2 роки тому +1

    Thanks for the honest review. You were kinder than I would be. Seemed way too expensive just like 5 Guys when I paid $19 for a burger and fries with no drink.

    • @thealtemlife
      @thealtemlife  2 роки тому

      It was pretty expensive for the little you got. Thanks for the compliment and thanks for watching!

    you guys are always nice and do not complain much just being honest and short staffed or not they screwed up the shake

      Thank you for the compliment and yes unfortunately they did mess it up pretty bad. Not all of them are winners! Thanks for watching!

    Thank you for another entertaining video. This may have been the first one in which you were not able to say something was "stinking good."

    • @thealtemlife
      @thealtemlife  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks for watching! Yeah we didn’t get to use our line on this one, but don’t worry, we will have many more opportunities 😀

    I was so excited to see you went to Johnny Rockets 🚀 because I’ve been dying to see what was on the menu to eat…The sad part was I didn’t get excited to see the menu until you flipped over onto the back of the menu and it had kids meals and desserts 🍨.That was my favorite part except for the adult drinks 🍹 Lol ..What’s wrong with me 😂 I’m 50 years old and you can’t take me anywhere nice to eat ….I’ve never seen a Johnny Rocket’s I do love the vibe of the restaurant…thumbs up 👍

    • @thealtemlife
      @thealtemlife  2 роки тому

      Lol kids meals and adult drinks are good! Thanks so much for watching 😀

    • @thealtemlife
      @thealtemlife  Рік тому

      We would always choose 5 guys over JR. Didn’t have a good experience and it was expensive. Thanks for watching!

    Wow the cheese wasnt even melted in the grilled cheese. The food didnt look that great to me. Would never want to go there. You guys are giving a better review than i would have lol

    • @thealtemlife
      @thealtemlife  8 місяців тому

      It was pretty much the worst place we have been yet! Thanks for watching and for the commit! We try and keep it as positive as we can lol. We won’t be going back!

      Hey! Thanks for the suggestion! We actually ate at the original location in Brooksville. The link is below. If this one is worthy of checking out, we sure can 😀

    Had the same experience at a JR here in Woodstock GA. At least they are consistently awful 😖 😱

    • @thealtemlife
      @thealtemlife  2 роки тому +2

      Oh wow! Must be a chain issue. That stinks you didn’t have a good experience. At least we both have learned our lesson lol!

  • @alk1946
    @alk1946 2 роки тому +3

    Actually not a big Johnny Rockets fan. I've always thought they were over priced for what you received. It's just average at best, I thought the quality of their food was always below average.

    • @thealtemlife
      @thealtemlife  2 роки тому

      Yeah after going there, we would agree! Pretty expensive. It’s unfortunate because we had high hopes for it. Thanks for watching!

  • @carolapostolos8929
    @carolapostolos8929 2 роки тому +1

    We ate at Johnny Rockets once and at best the food was barely average. Service was on the slow side but I do understand understaffing. What I don’t understand is when there is staff (possibly the management) that stands around and does little to nothing I don’t care what your level is if you’re employed in a restaurant and work needs to be done EVERYONE should be pitching in. We won’t return.

    • @thealtemlife
      @thealtemlife  2 роки тому

      We would agree with you there! Unfortunately, it’s a place we won’t be going back either. At least there are a ton of restaurant around that area!

  • @stevenr732
    @stevenr732 2 роки тому +2

    Everyone is short staffed thanks Brandon but no excuse for the way that was handled that being said we ate at several places in TV and all the food was bland 1 exception Red Sauce pizza my buddy says it's because of an elderly population that don't use spices idk I think maybe the water I'm buying a house there but will be eating at home or outside the bubble
    Thanks review

    • @thealtemlife
      @thealtemlife  2 роки тому +1

      Redsauce was super good! We do other restaurant reviews around FL as well so stay tuned and let us know if you find a good place we could try! Thanks for watching!

    Dang! $43 for 1 hotdog, 1 cheeseburger and 2 shakes? Whaaatt?! But yeah, that experience was not the best at all. They have been struggling at that particular Johnny Rockets for quite a few months now with not enough workers. Just curious, how often do you guys eat out weekly? With the economy the way that it is, hubby and I find that we don't get to go out as much as we would like. Thanks for sharing your experience!

    • @thealtemlife
      @thealtemlife  2 роки тому

      Yeah it was very expensive! Good question! So yeah it is expensive to go places, especially now with gas and everything. Usually we go once a week for a video and sometimes if we are spending a full day somewhere in FL we can get two meals in. If family is in town, usually they are wanting to try several places so in that instance, we usually eat out a few times a week. For the most part, we share and try to find places that won’t break the bank 😀 Thanks for watching!

    • @dlpdo

      Take out the $24 for the “adult” shakes and the cost of the meals was maybe not that bad.

    • @thealtemlife
      @thealtemlife  2 роки тому

      Good point! It would have been cheaper for sure but unfortunately for what you get food wise, still was pretty pricey.

    The grilled cheese didn't look like the cheese had melted all that well. I was surprised you liked that food item the best.

    • @thealtemlife

      It was a pretty rough experience. Thanks for watching!

    I've eaten at JR's and it is bad. Fairly good review, however, I"m wondering how you could say that measly little grilled cheese sandwich was good when the cheese was barely melted and it wasn't oozing with gooeyness. Come on now.

    • @thealtemlife
      @thealtemlife  2 роки тому +2

      I think being as hungry as we were in that moment, about anything would have tasted good! Haha! Unfortunately, it’s not a place we will be going back because of the quality of food and service. Thanks for watching!

    At what point in your life did you decide ketchup on Grilled Cheese was a thing, lol😂.
    It’s fine, people get confused when I put potato chips on a fried salami sandwich with mayo. Everyone has different taste buds.

    • @thealtemlife
      @thealtemlife  2 місяці тому

      Haha in high school! It is so good! Tember puts chips on her sandwich too!

      Correct. This went down as a not so good place for us to eat at and we haven’t been back!

    Is it true that in TV anyone under 35 yo can order off the kid's (children's) menu, if you just ask?
    Grilled cheese, hot dogs, and fries......isn't that kids menu stuff?
    Maybe that's why your 'adult shakes' took so long......they thought you were just kids and didn't bring your parents (grandparents) along.
    Go figure?

    • @thealtemlife
      @thealtemlife  2 роки тому +2

      😂 these make us laugh so much! I kind of wish the food was on the kids menu because it would have been a lot cheaper! Thanks for engagement and making us laugh!
