Johnny Rockets DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME AT THIS NASTY PLACE. My friend and I visited Destin Commons today and we had planned to have lunch at Johnny Rockets since my friend was familiar with the brand. I am a self proclaimed Chef and I visit many restaurants in our area and give honest reviews. We arrived at the establishment and was greeted and seated very quickly by a friendly male server. We were seated at a booth next to a window. The waiter promptly brought us a menu and stated he would return in a few minutes. While my guest and I made our choices from the menu, I noticed the table was not clean. It had what appeared to be dried catsup stuck to the table. The white wall partition behind my guest who was seated across the table from me, had splatters of what appeared to be catsup. As I looked at the large glass windows, I noticed that the windows were filthy, from greasy hand prints and smears that appeared to be from someones sneezing. The window blinds were fully raised to the top so I couldn’t actually see them completely. However the bottoms of the blinds were corroded. The wall behind me was greasy as well and also appeared to have snot smeared on them as well as food. The waiter returned and he was very proficient and attentive. He took our drink order and the drinks were served promptly. However, he had to apologize for the drinks being served in to-go cups because they didn’t have any glassware available at the time. The restaurant was not very busy and many of the booths and seats were empty. The waiter took our meal order and then I decided I needed to go to the restroom. As I entered the men’s room, I heard noises from the one stall, so i decided just to use the urinal. Well there was a black trash bag taped over the urinal with a sign that said out of order. So I decided to exit the restroom and wait till it was empty. On the way out, I noticed what appeared to be a male person who was in charge of the place, entered and I never saw him come out. So I went back to my seat, and continued to wait for the food. As we were waiting, my guest also noticed how dirty and unclean this place was. I also noticed torn seats in booths, torn seats in the straight chairs that were place along the walls. The straight chairs also looked like that they had never been cleaned since they were new. The chrome legs of these chairs were blackened from the floor up to over half way on each and every leg. This place was just nasty. The waiter presented us with our order in a timely manor. The food was hot, tasty and I was actually surprised at how well it tasted. I begin to observe the kitchen staff and cooking area to my right. I had a clear view of the staff grill area. I notice the cook staff were wearing gloves and then I saw one cook, pick up a broom, swept off the tops of his shoes and proceed to sweep the floor in front of the food prep area. I observed the cook, gloves still on, rub and scratch his nose, and then proceed to the grill area handling food with the same gloves. I also observed a worn white fabric towel that was on the floor and being kicked around. The cook picked up the towel, same gloves still on. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. We left the place promptly after finishing our meal, and we DON’T PLAN TO RETURN AND WE DON’T RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. WHAT A DISGRACE!!!
