Johnny Rockets Open for Business in Acton

Acton residents yearning for a mouth-watering burger from Johnny Rockets won't have to travel to the Burlington Mall anymore.

The popular old-style diner recently opened its first restaurant in Acton, and joins the Burlington Mall as the second location in Middlesex County. 

Other Johnny Rocket chains in Massachusetts include Logan Airport, Six Flags New England and South Shore Plaza.

According to an online report, the Acton restaurant offers flavorful fare and friendly service in an ambiance reminiscent of feel-good Americana. Patrons can expect juicy burgers, crispy American Fries (served with a ketchup smiley face), hand-spun shakes and classic sandwiches.

And to give it some local flavor, the new restaurant also features menu options that include a New England squealer, pulled pork pickle sandwich, sirloin steak sandwich and The County Fair – using fresh produce from area farms.

“We’re thrilled to offer Acton residents and visitors delicious food and a fun dining experience that can’t help but make them smile,” Lloyd Sugarman, a Johnny Rockets franchise partner since 1992, said in a statement. 

Sugarman and son Jason operate 16 locations in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Minnesota, California, New York, Connecticut and Pennsylvania – partnering with Doug Colenda for the Acton and Burlington, Albany (NY) and Nashville (TN) restaurants.

“We’re the perfect destination before or after visiting The Faulkner House, Jones Tavern or Children’s Discovery Museum … or simply after a day of work, school or running errands.  We’ve got something for everyone.”

Johnny Rockets Acton restaurant is located at 371 Massachusetts Ave., near T.J. Maxx and Roche Bros. It is open from 11 a.m. – 9 p.m., Sunday through Thursday, and from 11 a.m. – 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday.
