'''The Johnny Rockets Group Inc.''', commonly known simply as '''Johnny Rockets''', is an American [[restaurant]] [[franchising|franchise]] whose themed decor is based upon 1950s [[diner]]-style restaurants. As of April 2024, the company operates 90 locations in [[Arizona]], [[California]], [[Connecticut]], [[Washington, D.C.]], [[Florida]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], [[Hawaii]], [[Illinois]], [[Louisiana]], [[Maine]], [[Maryland]], [[Massachusetts]], [[Minnesota]], [[Missouri]], [[Nevada]], [[New Jersey]], [[New York (state)|New York]], [[Pennsylvania]], [[Rhode Island]], [[Tennessee]], [[Texas]], [[Utah]], [[Virginia]], and [[Washington (state)|Washington]]. Décor includes [[Coca-Cola advertising]], featuring nearly life-size cardboard illustrations of women in [[World War II]] armed services uniforms ([[Women Airforce Service Pilots]]), individual [[jukebox]] stations, chrome accents and red vinyl seats.

The menu, presentation, counter seating and grilling area are based on an original restaurant from 1947 (still operating today), [[The Apple Pan]] in West Los Angeles. Hamburgers are grilled-to-order in full view of the customers and are served wrapped in paper in metal baskets.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.latimemachines.com/new_page_7.htm |title=latimemachines.com}}</ref><ref name=Nation>{{cite web|last=Spector |first=Amy |title=Ronn Teitelbaum, Johnny Rockets founder, dies at 61 |url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3190/is_39_34/ai_66104054/ |work=Nation's Restaurant News |author2=Martin, Richard |date=September 25, 2000 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100615224014/http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3190/is_39_34/ai_66104054/ |archive-date=June 15, 2010 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url = http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/372510| title = "The Apple Pan hickory burger revisited (with clear eyes)"| access-date = April 20, 2010| archive-date = January 29, 2010| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100129004608/http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/372510| url-status = dead}}.
