They have very good veggie burgers, which is the first way to my heart, and the milkshakes are amazing, another way to my heart! On top of that the prices are very reasonable. Definitely a good environment for kids because its very fun and the servers often sing and dance if the Saturday Night Fever song comes on! Just don't go in there late, you will be surrounded by drunk people stumbling in from the South Street bars. My only complaint is that the service is often slow and there is no hostess usually so it can take awhile to be seated.

Johnny Rockets is great for parties, the food is reasonable. The shakes are great and the service was good. They gave every kid a balloon and the staff was very patient. The jukebox was a hit for the kids and parents alike!

Okay, you really can't beat a restaurant that doesn't mandate that all wait staff direct dirty looks towards your toddler who is trying, with a best effort, to remain dancing on the table to the oldies but goodies from the '50s and '60s. There is also a huge container of straws that your toddler may open and watch pop out onto the table and floor. Other than that amusement, the fries, variety of flavored sodas and other sugary and salty essentials keep your toddler filled for a fun day around Philly. Definitely try it out!

There is always room to park a stroller and you can't beat the in booth juke boxes for entertaining toddlers. How can you go wrong with milkshakes and fries?

Very simple, basic food, mostly burgers in a retro-style diner. Waitrons break out into synchronized dance numbers at regular intervals...a real treat to watch.
