Johnny Rockets, located right on the square, is well known for its burgers and ice cream milkshakes. The outdoor seating is popular with people and their pooches.
Johnny Rockets was founded on June 6, 1986, by Ronn Teitelbaum of of Los Angeles and “crafted as a ‘nongimmicky’ recreation of the 1940s-vintage malt shops of his childhood.” The first restaurant was established as a 20-stool counter operation on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles.
