    There ain't no finer diner is the catch line, but they obviously haven't seen Luke's Place on the Gilmore Girls. In saying that, however, Eddie's is pretty good. The menu is extensive and the food is tasty stuff - towering burgers, skinny fries and truly outstanding milkshakes. The latter arrive at the table in two glasses - one for pouring and one for drinking out of - which makes it easier to steal from your companion. This particular branch is very popular, particularly with teens out on dates, so be prepared: you may have to suffer the ignominy of queuing for a booth.

    This shop could do with some renovation. Feels a bit old and greasy. Toilets etc are downstairs alone a narrow corridor that you could easily go into the kitchen or staff doors. Toilets are bad. Lock on the door of one didn't work and the flush on the other one was broken. Flooring and walls downstairs are also damaged. I ordered a milkshake and my friend sweet potato fries. They forgot the fries and then then took ages to come. My milkshake was meant to be Reece's cup flavour but just tasted like peanut butter. It has good taste. But was very oily.

    Living in that burger wasteland known as "Deutschland", I was thrilled to pieces to get a decent burger at Eddie Rocket's during my weeklong vacation in Dublin. Decent burgers, good fries, creamy shakes, friendly & timely service, authentic diner decor, and open all night - WINNING. But hey, I'm still American, and my burger standard is still pretty high. Eddie, you gotta step up your game, son. It ain't bad, but it ain't tops, and I think you got what it takes to bump it up. And put some heat in your spice! If it's meant to be spicy, make it burn! "The Atomic" wasn't even steam-powered, in my opinion. Also, it took a couple tries to get the WiFi to work for me, but I think that was because the waitress was so cryptic in telling me the password. Just write it out in plainly legible penmanship, please? I promise not to sell the secret to the Russians, or whoever it is we keep secrets from now. I dig this place, and I recommend it, especially for post-pub gluttony. Most people would probably give it a higher ranking than I, but having tasted burgery highway diner goodness on multiple cross-America roadtrips, I just can't. Still, it's an authentic experience and I'll come here again the next time I'm prowling the area at 2AM in a whiskey-induced feeding frenzy.

    A handy spot for predictable food at random hours in town. In fairness there certainly is finer dining in the city, but Sir Edmund of Rocket has cornered the market in Dublin for a reasonable quality burgers etc. It's pretty much a crowd pleaser.... few people object strenuously to Eddies. It's probably a bit too pricey for what you get, although they certainly do good burgers. 5 euro is a bit steep for a bowl of chips. This particular franchise is a reasonably good one and is generally busy enough, particularly in the evening or post-late night shopping. It's a real handy spot to meet people coming from different areas of the city centre. And I have to put in a good word for the Oreo Malts and the Smarties sundae... could I have one now please?

    As an American this place cracks me up because we have an almost identical chain called Johnny Rockets--50's diner vibe with juke boxes and the lot. We popped in for a late lunch/snack and it was packed but we got sat at the bar right away. I opted for cheese fries and a reese cup milkshake and my husband had a chilli cheese dog. The milkshake was AMAZING and they bring you the extra shake in blending cup- yum! The cheese fries are with cheese sauce--I know some people don't like that but for me it was PERFECTION! I love cheese sauce on cheese fries. The chilli dog was a huge foot long and my husband ate it all. Our server was really nice and brought me a side of pickles on the house, too! Quirky but quaint, although I think it's quite a big chain, I'd definitely recommend popping in if you are a fellow expat looking for a little bit of home or if you are just hungry for some American nostalgia!

    Cool place. I went there with a couple of Irish friends who are huge fans and I wasn't disappointed at all. Nice environment and good food. 1Coming from Finland, where everything is (put your bad word here) expensive 14.5€ for a burguer I couldn't finish, fries, fanta and a milkshake felt quite good, but I guess it's a bit over the average of Irish prices. I'll definetely visit a Eddie Rockets next time I go to Ireland.

    Enough will have been written about Eddie Rockets at this stage for people to be largely au fait with the concept: a fifties style American diner in the settings of present-day Dublin, alright? So let's move on... What's different about the Eddie Rockets on O'Connell St is that you are no longer in the amongst the typical Eddie Rockets' clientele, namely, posh southside teenagers. I was in the O'Connell St branch recently, content with my chili-fries, when I remarked to a friend of mine how many builders were present. The entire length of the counter was occupied by men in hi-vis jackets. My friend who, for his sins, has worked in an Eddie Rockets, informed me that actually Eddie Rockets was very popular among builders, and that they always come in for their fry in the morning. Now, I can only speak personally about the lunch/dinner fare served by Eddie Rockets, which is quite good, though fairly expensive for a fast-food restaurant, but if builders get their breakfast there you can be guaranteed that Eddies do a decent fry-up. Builders eat more cooked breakfasts and their derivatives (breakfast rolls) than any other demographic in the country, so if Eddie Rockets' breakfasts have their endorsement, then they are good enough for me. So if you're ever in town with a tongue like a shag-carpet on ya, head into Eddies and they'll set you right.

They have started charging ridiculous prices and the quality of the food has gone way way down. We dropped into the Eddie Rocket's on Parnell st for an impromptu pig out. We ordered ad it took them about 35 minutes for them to finally bring the food. We could see my burger under the hot lamps for about 15 of those minutes The Jalapeno Popper at one point was the pinnacle of burgers in Ireland for me. Lots of peppers, cheese, sour cream on a lash of hot sauce. What I got this time was kind of a sloppy mess (see picture). Most of the jalapenos fell out the back of the burger. My girlfriend's veggie burger was really dry. She used to love these but she was left very disappointed. All in all Eddie's was once a fantastic burger spot. Now they over charge for burgers that are not as good as they once were.

Here it's Eddie Rockets and there's nowhere quite like Parnell Street's burger joint for pre-movie munchies. It's pricey here in ways no establishment calling itself a diner should ever be - which is why Hubby Himself often pays - with two burgers, fries, onion rings, milkshake and diet coke (the lynchpin in weight gain) coming to about 30 yo-yos. ...For that money you could get a gorgeous Indian dinner form Bombay Pantry, fill the tank for a VW Lupo or buy a pre-worn hipster top from Urban Outfitters. Here, it's greasy spoon goodness. The service is prompt, the wait-staff efficient but quiet, and when your deep-fried side order isn't to your liking, they'll replace or refund without fighting (it really does happen in Ireland). And with a second entrance that leads out to the Cineworld complex and theatre it makes dinner and a movie easier than ever.

Luckily they have it down to a science and were turning tables so fast the line was moving along steadily. We were given probably 2-3 minutes before a sever came up to take our order. Then since it is a concert night they ask you to pay before the food comes out. (No worries to us.) The service was good and the atmosphere was definitely dinner vibe. My girls got a Bacon Big Boy (hot dog with bacon and cheese) and the other a kids quesadilla meal. My husband got the smokestack burger combo and I opted for the tender basket with bacon and cheese on my fries. We also opted for a few milkshakes to share. I got a vanilla, my daughter got an Oreo and my hubby got a Rocher shake. (I will say the rocher shake was my favorite.) We were not able to eat everything as it was all so filling. My daughter asked if we could come back again tomorrow.
