My wife ordered the meatloaf. It was good, not great, and it came in a portion size that could've fed a small family. I ordered a grilled ham and cheese sandwich, and it was pretty terrific--lots of cheese and with thick slices of excellent ham. The chips were good but not exceptional, and we found the milkshake a little thin but still tasty. As an American living in Dublin, I was excited to find a spot like this. The menu is diverse, and I am going to have to come back for the make-your-own omelet (something we haven't found in months of searching in Dublin.) Great spot for comfort food and a taste of American diner cuisine.

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.

We decided to go here for dinner tonight on our first night in Dublin. Little did we realize there…read morewas a concert happening right next door, so there was a bit of a wait. 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.

I'm surprised that I've never heard of this chain until recently - there seems to be loads of them…read more Usually the phrase "New York-style deli" is just a glib slogan, but the Pig and Heifer actually make sandwiches like they do in New York i.e. with vast amounts of meat. You might actually want to consider asking for half meat, they throw a huge amount of salami on there. Considering a packet of pastrami in a shop with like, four or five wafer thin slices is three or four euro, and a Pig and Heifer will put twice as much in sandwich for five or six euro, it's damn good value. The one on Amiens St is next door to smelly Subway, so I hope the Pig and Heifer will put them out of business.

Saw a bunch of construction workers through the window and knew it had to be a solid local spot with good bang for your buck. Physical Exam: Food - Had a full Irish and a breakfast sandwich. When I see we were satisfied, we were SATISFIED. Toast was toasty, beans were bean, shrooms were shroomy, meats were meaty. And that sandwich... *chef's kiss* Service - A true mom and pop run by what looks like a family. Simple, friendly, no complaints here. Ambiance - A hole in the wall, local joint, mom and pop, no frills. Grab your quick breakfast, grab your coffee, go on your merry way. Maybe the ventilation could've been better but I'm just nitpicking. Assessment/Plan: If you're trying to find something quick, affordable, and satiating, this is the spot. Can't recommend it enough. Maybe a little out of the way if you're not staying nearby.

Yikes! All bad…read more Avoid this place. I had the worst macaroni and cheese here. The noodles were soggy. And the cheese sauce was bland. Terrible. Couldn't eat it. The cheese fries I ordered were a joke. The fries were undercooked, and not seasoned. Then the cheese sauce was slapped on top. Also not edible. Batting 0/2 at this point. For my meal, I ordered a salad with beet falafel. Again disappointing. The beet falafel was dry and hard- overcooked severely. The chips on the salad were stale. It was just garbage. That's strike 3, you're out Eddie Rocket's. My husband ordered a burger and forced it down, since he was starving. The restaurant was dirty and not clean. Our server was not tentative at all. Basically all of the above, was bad. Zero redeeming qualities.

When we walked in we were immediately greeted and seated in a booth. We ordered food a few minutes later. I got the chicken tender basket and a Ferrero Rocher shake, and my partner got the BLT basket and a Kinder Bueno shake. We also got the mac and cheese bites just to see how they were. The chicken tenders were hot but very small. The fries were alright but a little disappointing - something I experience in diners with some degree of frequency in the states, so I guess you could call this a point for accuracy? The BLT sliders were fine, nothing to write home about. The mac and cheese bites tasted like cafeteria mac that was battered and fried. Again, nothing special. The shakes were good but a bit watery - I like my shakes to be more creamy and thick. The food overall was lacking salt (and seasoning overall) and I saw other people putting salt and pepper all over their food too so I know it wasn't a me thing. The bathrooms weren't great. They were in the basement down a long hallway. They weren't very clean and the doors on the stalls were both broken and stuck on engaged, so you couldn't lock them and you couldn't tell if someone was in one without knocking. I felt uncomfortable the whole time I was in there and couldn't wait to get back out. The restaurant itself was an average level of cleanliness. The floors were dirty but it was a very rainy day so I could forgive that. The booths weren't in great condition - some had tears that originated from cracked vinyl. The staff seemed friendly enough but I did catch two of them talking about another table in another language. I didn't speak the language but they were blatantly looking at the table and pointing with their eyes. It made me feel a bit bad on behalf of that table - they were right behind us and hadn't done anything wrong. Overall this place is just alright. It's fine if you're starving and don't really care what you eat or if it's any good, but if you want a meal you will enjoy and remember then try a pub across the river instead.

It does say 'Eat and go!' on their caps, but that is what I like to do anyway - no prob! The Clonakilty burger has beef, bacon, a fried egg, and even hash-browns! It is huge, but manageable - I ate every bite and licked my fingers! Most burgers with fried eggs are really messy, from the runny yolks - but this egg was cooked hard enough so that it didn't make a mess. Big improvement! The Cheesy Chicken burger was also good. The Bacon & Cheese Fries were decent; thick bacon bits were excellent, but the gooey cheeze-whiz style cheese lowered their delight-factor. Real grated cheese would've been much better. Tasty ice cream desserts, and fair prices, in a clean chrome diner. Restrooms downstairs were very clean. We liked it!
