livingonthebeach Posted September 23, 2020 #3 Share Posted September 23, 2020 They own the Fat Burger chain as well. Fat Burger, Johnny Rockets = they both make you FAT so the name is very "a propos". 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Merion_Mom Posted September 23, 2020 #8 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I doubt that many people would care if the franchised name "Johnny Rockets" went away, as long as they could get their burgers, fries and onion rings. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Never been on Carnival , so just going on what i read. I've done both. Guys burgers are pretty darn good and has a side place with sauted onion and mushrooms I especially love. Tbh breakfast and the onion rings are my favorite at Johnny rockets, though I enjoyed the show they put on. Dont remember their burgers being as good or varied as guys.

twangster Posted September 23, 2020 #12 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Existing contracts between companies like Royal and JR are not usually immediately impacted with acquisitions or takeovers. The acquiring company typically is still bound by any contracts they acquire. Long term there could be implications. The new "owners" might not like having their brand associated with cruise ships, not that there is a lot of exposure while ships are dormant. It could also depend what they intend to do with the JR brand. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Guy's Burgers was head and shoulders above Johnny Rockets. We did JRs once for breakfast. Never again. Think about a totally unhealthy breakfast that wasn't very good. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Ate there for Dinner on a Formal nite in Feb2000 on the then brand new Voyager. Cost then was $5 a head, at time they didnt do Breakfast yet. Chops was $20, start of Pay Restaurant and many extras in Cruise and Airline Industry. Fly Allegiant 8-10 times a yr. Ticket Base price $68, Taxes $15, reserved Exit Row Window seat $28. Though worth it, with CV been having the Row to myself... Link to post Share on other sites

And ad a fried egg on top.👍 3 Link to post Share on other sites

They need to toast their hamburger buns then I'd like them better. Link to post Share on other sites
