Find me enjoying the atmosphere, the shows and covered in sugar from an elephant ear.

  • During pass holder preview weekend, I ordered the grilled version of the salad, however they were out of grilled chicken, so I got the crispy version as well. No bacon. But all other ingredients were there and it was not in a to go container. Overall it was really good, and I'm hoping your experience was just a flub. :/ I am looking forward to many more salads this summer. Frontier Inn salads are only offered with breaded chicken, and I live that they have grilled as an option at Johnny Rockets.

  • THEY ARE DOING A MUCH BETTER JOB ON THIS SALAD...AS THEY HAVE "SETTLED" INTO THE DINING PLAN OPTION! I HAD THE CRISPY CHICKEN SALAD A FEW DAYS AGO...AND IT WAS FANTASTIC! IT WAS LOADED DOWN WITH CHEESE...TOMATO...AND BACON!
