Status: Johnny Rockets is blasting its 50s nostalgia into the future with its newest South Florida restaurant – Johnny Rockets GameRoom.The 20,000-square-foot restaurant/arcade opens today at the Sawgrass Mills Mall. Franchise partners Kyle and Ken Eldridge, who own 11 other South Florida Johnny Rockets franchises, have combined a kid-oriented amusement arcade with a full-liquor sports bar, party rooms, flat screen TVs and a new menu that includes pizza. The games aren’t just for kids and the prizes aren’t those dinky plastic toys that break as soon as you get home – there are actually iPads and iPods to be won.---Lily Rano [EaterWire]
