I used to love Eddie Rocket's. Their burgers and chicken wings were, at one point my favourite foods. More recently, Eddie's has really gone down hill. 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. read more

Eddie Rocket's - All the good stuff fell out into the wrapper :( - American Near Me - Dublin, D

Over in Philly there was Johnnie Rockets, a suspiciously similar retro burger joint chromed and red-pleathered and smelling rather satisfyingly of chip fat and meat. 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. read more

This Eddie Rockets, or Empty Pockets as some people like to call it, does exactly what it says on the tin - like it should do! I had a quick bite here on Friday night before the cinema and it was as good as ever. I'm a big Eddie's fan! It's still as popular as ever too - the place was jammed. Only thing I don't like about it is that plastic spray cheese thing they use - it's vile looking! I don't know if it's even actual cheese - I find it hard to believe it is. My friend had the Cheeze Please with blue cheese and I had the club sandwich, which is my fave. We finished it up with a Kit Kat dream dessert. Yum! read more

Disgusting food and service , rang them several times so ignorant and unhelpful I would never ring this place again as I am very unhappy

Eddie Rockets is a fast food American style diner. I have been there on many occasion and love the food and atmosphere here. They serve many traditional American dishes including fries, hamburgers, hot dogs and chicken wings. Their drinks include Coca cola, milkshakes and even a icecream float where they put a scoop of ice-cream in your soft drink. Whenever I go to Eddie Rockets I order the Chicken Fillet burger with cheese also known as the "Cheesy Chicken" and regular fries which I wash down with a Coca-Cola. They have a kids menu which is great and they give them toys free with the meal. They also now have a breakfast menu which includes the traditional sausages, pudding, hash browns or waffles with maple syrup. Although the prices of the food is not that cheap, it is nice to go there for the occasional treat. read more

Oh Eddie's, what's happened to you :( I used to be a HUGE fan of Eddie Rocket's, my old reliable. Lately I've noticed their burgers have been shrinking and their prices have been going up. Because of this, my boyfriend has refused to go here with me lately. Yes, fine, it's more expensive but still, it's Eddie's! It's yummy and always really good! Even if you're getting a little less than you used to... Or so I thought. Last night we came to the Eddie Rocket's on Parnell Street - it was one of the most disappointing burger experiences of my life. Sad face. From where we were sitting we could see the hot lamp tray that all the food sits on when it's been prepared and ready to be served. We noticed a burger put up there about ten minutes after we ordered. I could see it there out of the corner of my eye and realised it had been there for ages. Twenty minutes passed since we ordered (which is quite a long wait for Eddie Rocket's) and we still hadn't been served, and the same burger was still sitting under the lamps. After twenty five minutes (!) they eventually brought us our food, and of course that stale looking burger was ours. Both burgers were dry, we couldn't tell which one had been sitting out. Mine (veggie burger) was the same burger they always serve, but dry and verging on being burnt (not quite, but pretty overcooked). The staff were not particularly friendly. Overall, a disappointing experience. I haven't been to this one in a while, but I feel like the standard is just lower. Won't be back to this Eddie Rockets. read more

I have had a pig out in this Eddie Rockets more than once, I admit. However, I just popped in here the other day as my friend was ordering a take-away. We waited at the bar. And suddenly I saw one of the 'chefs' taking a burger patty out of the deep fryer and throwing it on the grill. Wait. What? Since when is burger meat deep fried?? Gross! I'm only guessing they do this because it was taken from frozen, or they forgot about an order and wanted to speed up the process. One can only guess. We asked one of the servers about this special technique of 'cooking'. He just plain denied it. UGH! Anyway, my friend got her burger, ate about a quarter and was fairly sure her burger was the deep fried one (completely dried out, greasy piece of meat) It was just off putting. I know one does not go to Eddie Rockets for healthy food. But there's a difference between a dirty auld burger and a dirty auld deep fried burger. read more

I like the look of Eddie Rockets, and its the main reason why I keep returning. I have been to this Eddie Rockets twice, but I've never felt completely heartbroken when I had to leave. It's not the prices really, because when compared with other gourmet burger joints, this diner is actually relatively cheaper. It's prices also seem to run parallel to other establishments selling milkshakes e.t.c. I guess it's the quality which always leaves me slightly disgusted as I walk out the double door. I recently had a brownie milkshake, and was met with a glass of pure vanilla, with huge chucks of broken brownie pieces at the end. It had not even been blended, and was clumping quite badly in the tall grey container. I also ordered the Louisiana Red Sauce wings, and immediately felt sick two wings in. They tasted just horrible, with the sauce having a strangely sweet aftertaste. Granted there was 20 little wings in a bowl, with a generous helping of blue cheese dip, but I was couldn't stomach it. This was all made quite worse, by the signs hung up everywhere telling you to, "get out", after you've eaten. I get that it's a joke, but jeez, does it have to be everywhere? I wiped my hands with a "heavenly scented" wipe, and that too had, "eat up and get out" on it. Wasn't that "heavenly scented" either, smelled like a Dettol. Got to give credit to the waiters and waitresses though, because they always seem to be smiling and upbeat.. The diner was also immaculately clean. Having said all this, I will return to this Eddie Rockets, because I always return to Eddie. Abusive relationship much? read more

Went for breakfast with a friend on a weekend morning .Very warm greeting by a friendly waitress who showed us to our table The lighting and interior decor really is amazing and old school 60's Americana. Very nice atmosphere Breakfast was not so nice though :( . streaky bacon that was way completely overdone , sausages didn't taste that fresh , scrambled egg overdone , mushrooms overdone and I left well alone! Bread was nicest part of meal unfortunately .Coffee was okay as well . Friends and acquaintances have recommended the breakfast hear so maybe this was a once off I think I will try a milkshake next time read more

For a fast food joint this was decent. I had the Ultimate Veggie burger with grilled mushrooms added - it was quite tasty but a bit messy (the toppings made a break for freedom out the back of the burger)! The menu offers a good range of options with customisation and there are several veggie options. We were going to the Cineworld next door so it was a handy place for us to grab some food first. For three of us the bill came to nearly €40, which is a bit steep for what you get, but it is a better standard than the usual fast food outlets. I liked the 50's Googie style décor as well - neon rocketships, etc. made me think of Fallout. Really I want to give this 3.5 but there are no half marks so rounded up read more

Eddie Rocket's - Ultimate Veggie - American Near Me - Dublin, D

This place is very in place :) cinema + Eddie Rockets make almost perfect movie night out. There's plenty of room. Staff is very friendly. Enormous dishes and drinks. Have been a while since I enjoyed this place, but it keeps warms and nice memoried of it, which will be forcing me to visit it again soon. read more

Rocket's Parnell St. is on a very good location which is beside Cine-world. It was last Saturday night, after I finished the movie, which was an as good as trailer movie as the first one BTW. The environment there is very American - red seats, old school jukebox and waitresses in kinda sexy uniform... Just like a scene from a Quentin Tarantino's movie, where some gangs siting there and chatting. I order a portion of chicken tender, and a glass of 7up. When the waitress asked me how about some fries, I did say "I am okay.", but I did get some fries though. All these cost me 13.5euro, which I think is not worthy... This is my first review here And sorry for my bad English read more

I really like Eddie rockets. But the last time I was in this particular one, it was pretty bad. My drink was warm and flat, the fries were undercooked and the burger didn't have the correct cheese and the bap wasn't as fresh as it could have been. I've kept it at two stars as a previous visit wasn't too bad and it was very busy this night. But for a franchise you expect consistency. read more

Pretty cool decoration. Don't waste 20 cents cuz the radios doesn't work :( Things like "eat and get out", "get rich or die frying", "don't steal our cutlery, we know where you live" everywhere!!! Creepy! Besides all that and the grumpy staff the food is yummy! Garlic and cheese fries, sweet potato fries, cheese-pleese hamburger, the vegetarian and vegan options are also very tasty. read more

I love the milkshakes from here especially if i'm taking one into the cinema next door (although im not sure you're allowed!) as they are so big and lovely. My favourite is the vanilla oreo but lately have started to try the reeces' peanut vanilla milkshake and i may be converted. Of course i don't like to think too much of how many calories are in one i would reckon a whole lot so wouldn't have one more than once every month or so! The chicken cheesy burger with blue cheese and sweet potato fries are mouthwatering but be sure to wear trackie bottoms so that you can let the belly expand. Then while you are sitting there signing and digesting you can think of how you can work off the big meal you've just has, maybe a jog, a trip to the gym or a game of basketball? Or a stretch out on the sofa at home? Naughty. read more

Our latest visit to this Eddies and it was really busy. I feel there should have been more staff on to cope with the amount of orders they had on the go. I always wonder on these occasions why some businesses allow for the numbers of customers that they don't have the floor staff to cope with it. But that said, they coped better than I thought they would today. It was a much better meal than our last visit, that's for sure. And the food, which did take a while to get to our table, did not take as long as I thought it would take. I had the chicken tenders, which were a good - nom! I also shared a fries, with a cheese sauce on the side. Man that cheese sauce is soooo good. All good, will be back for sure. read more

It's not far from where I live, the food is yummy (they do sweet potato fries, nom), it's not *too* pricey, the staff are friendly, it's near-by the cinema and the Ilac Centre and their juke-box is always playing some cool 60's tunes that have you shoulder-dancing at your table. Win. read more

Do you want a full explanation of why this place blows? I don't think it's really necessary. The late night kebab places are so much better, so don't go. But if you need a long winded explanation, here you go. Out of hunger pangs desperation, my girlfriend and I went there on the middle of a Temple Bar pub crawl. Perusing the menu, I notice the Bubble Dog (plain hot dog with a Prosecco split) which sounded perfect as I love both items. My girlfriend didn't want a hot dog, so she asked for sliders and a split as well. The server said the ONLY way to get the Prosecco was to order the bubble dog. What? When you're charging 8 euro for a 1 euro split of wine, why wouldn't you just take it? The food wasn't great either and as many other places in Europe inexplicably do, we were charged a pp cover for eating late night. Just don't do it. read more

Eddie Rocket's - Bubble doc - American Near Me - Dublin, D

this review is for the food only. I have never actually been there but just had it delivered via a food delivery app. the bugers were good but my sweet potato fries as well as my husband's regular fries were disgusting, soggy, and obviously not fresh. if I were in the restaurant I would have traded them in for a fresh batch, but since I'm at home I just have to settle for this review. read more

As beautifully decorated as any Eddie Rocket's, located right next to a big Dublin cinema. The staff was very friendly (all dressed up for Halloween) and the service was great. The food is also very tasty, but my one problem with Eddie Rocket's is the money/food balance. The food is just WAY too expensive for the little amount you get. You don't even get sides included - if you want a burger with fries, you'll have to order and pay for the fries separately. read more

The food in there was absolutely gorgeous! I great place to go with friends/family to really get the American Diner feel. The jukebox, staff and decoration create a great atmosphere. The burgers were huge, with a just-right portion of tasty chips. I really enjoyed the meal, but the bill definitely deducted points for me. But, I was a tourist to Dublin, so it works out more expensive for tourists than for locals. So warning to all tourists- this place is a great all rounder- if your willing to pay the price. read more

Good late late late night place- as not much food restuarants are open in the wee hours of the morning. But be aware because they charge 10% for late night service so...Eaters Beware :-). p.s order a milkshake! read more

I'll level with you, the only reason I'm writing this review is to link this cool video of a 50s flash dance, which happened in-store a week ago (and, which, *Shhh*, I had a small hand in making): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20OiFWyOPvM Eddie's on Parnell Street is a big gleaming, flagship, jewel in the crown, restaurant in the Eddie's chain. It has abundant seating, new electro-ordering gizmology for the waiters, and a bright, breezy atmosphere. It relys heavily on the symbiotic patronage of cinema-goers to warrant its large size and, what would otherwise be, slightly inopportune location. This means the restaurant is as quiet as could be during the day, (making it perfect for kiddies parties with a matinée btw), and busy in the evenings. Though perhaps a little on the pricey side the meals will generally come in cheaper than any 'real' restaurant. This means one can warrant making a date of Eddies and the cinema, without worrying unduly about it costing you an arm and a leg. The situation is also considerably improved by their new menu, featuring all manner of good deals, but be warned, some of them may leave you with some unwanted room left over for popcorn. All in all, a great restaurant in the chain of this perennial Dublin fav. read more

Love this place. The staff are always very understanding of my friends' and my blatant insanity and leak of ability to decide on which milkshake we want. Bravo, Edward. Bravo, read more

I have been there in a few occasions and seem to suffer always the same problem:It takes way too long,expect at least half an hour wait. The problem is that you can actually see your food ready to be delivered to you on the shelf and by the time you get it it's too cold. Today I went to the one in Parnell and order some garlic cheese fries. there were cold, one spoon of garlic mayo and literally a frozen chunk of grated cheese to top it all , as hard as a football (my girlfriend also had bits of the same stuff)...when I asked one of the waitresses to do something about it , she just asked if she ''should spread the cheese''. Returned moments later with the same bowl of cold fries and the same chunk of frozen cheese a little bit more spread. Not even an apology and completely cold. Nice 50's decoration but unfortunately won't be coming back again read more

Everybody judged me for getting pineapple in my burger. I'm not sure what came over me, but I'm glad, and would do it again! I love going for a burger here after a movie in Cineworld. The menu has changed again but the classics are still available and that's what counts. read more

Wasn't impressed with this eddies, we ordered cheesy chips and buffalo wings and both lacked sauce and heat... Considering its one of the more expensive fast food company's I would expect more from eddies!! read more

There's ain't nothing I like more than coming in here, having a strawberry malt and listening to rock and roll on the jukebox! A great place for families and groups of friends. Good fun! read more

Eddie's prides itself on being the more upmarket 'diner' as opposed to a fast food restaurant. There are quite a few located in Dublin. This Eddie rockets in particular is located close to stillorgan cinema, and quite a few of the late night movie fans end up here. It is like all the Eddie Rockets- bright, red, shiny, and traditionally american. The food is very tasty, though slightly expensive. The milkshakes are gigantic, and very sweet. I like the fries, and the burgers are very good. The service in this diner is very prompt, and it stays open late. A good place to go with friends. read more

Eddie Rockets has its fans, so I'm sure there are enough people ready to sing its praise, I unfortunately shall not be singing its praise. I like the restaurant itself, its comfortable, clean and has a nice kitsch value. I am almost always disappointed by the food, its alright but there is a very skewed ratio from quality to price. The food would probably be grand if you got it in a Burger King or the likes, but eddie rockets is a good bit more expensive. In truth you are most likely paying for the surroundings. I can't be all negative, everyone else I know loves the place, and I've always loved the shakles and malts. read more

Eddie Rocket's empty your pockets, as the saying goes - no more words needed really..

Don't usually like these sort of places, but was pleasantly surprised! Amazing milkshakes and desserts if you have a sweet tooth! Good variety on the menu! read more
