An international restaurant chain that has offered the food, fun and friendliness of feel-good Americana since 1986, Johnny Rockets is the place to go for relaxed, casual fun. Of particular interest to families visiting Station Park's children's play area and park is their Rocket Kids menu that features Mini Hamburgers, Chicken Tenders, Mini Hot Dogs or Grilled Cheese served with kid-sized American Fries and their choice of a kids' beverage.And each Hamburger on the Johnny Rockets menu can be made with ground beef, ground turkey, chicken breast, or 100% soy Boca® Burger - the latter being of particular interest to those preferring a meatless option.
