Touristy diner featuring American styled food. Just enough to get you fueled until dinner. Service was fast and decor, retro 50's. read more

Yikes! All bad. 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. read more

There for breakfast. Charged for free coffee, "maple" syrup had never seen a tree, and pancakes had to be cut with a knife. You'd get better value and food at Supermacs. read more

Quite quiet on our visit with only two other tables occupied. We had our Covid 19 vaccinations checked as well as our ID which was all fine before we were led to a table that was incredibly small for two adults to eat at. Soon after ordering our food even before our drinks had arrived we were asked to pay the bill. The food arrived a while later on the smallest plates making it difficult to eat and sadly the food was very average indeed. I fear this restaurant is living very much on its past golden age which now seems very distant. read more

Eddie Rocket's - Diners Near Me - Dublin, D

Hamburgers, fries and chicken wings a plenty this Dame Street branch of the massive Eddie Rockets chain maintains all the joviality and novelty we have come to find irresistible about this appealing fast-food institution. This is one of the biggest Eddie outlets in town and so is capable of catering for the more sizable crowds. 'The' prototypical American Diner, the moment you walk in you are instantaneously transported back to the thrilling days of Grease Lightning, retro juke boxes, Elvis quiffs and 1950s baseball - all of the archetypal characteristics of which Eddie Rockets manipulates to create its novelty décor. I first started going there with my friends for munchie food after we finished a session in town - Eddie's can be open as late as 4am some nights and so perfect for the crowd returning from a night out who are looking to devour as much fast food as possible to soak up their evening's alcohol consumption. On these occasions I have often gone for 'The Atomic', topped with chili sauce and jalapenos - so hot it will, as the title suggests, blow you away! For €7.45 it is not a cheap outing, especially when you have to buy any chips or salad separately as well as a drink, and if you eat there after midnight a 10% 'late night' charge is added. At €5.15 the Bacon and Cheese Fries satisfy the taste buds like nothing else after a heavy night, but makes a sizeable dent in your wallet in the process. Nevertheless, the more I went there under these late night circumstances the more fond of Eddie's I became, so much so that friends and I used to drop in for an Oreo Cookie Malt if we had come from shopping in Temple Bar or were making our way towards the city centre. This malt really is as devilish and abounding as it sounds - a rich treat in the afternoon, big enough to be shared between two, this really is the perfect indulgence when you want to take a break. Note: For 20c a go you can select a song to be played over the main speakers via the mini jukebox on each table - Beach Boys 'Good Vibrations' was often the one I went for. read more

I would have always said it is hard to go wrong with Eddies... the fries are always good, the burgers brilliant. My personal fav is the buffalo wings with the (original) Cajun sauce, I went with it this time too. Junior had the nuggets and chips. Food arrived in about 12 seconds, very very quick - Juniors was spot on, mine.... really really really disappointing. The wings were just not nice; the sauce had echoes of what it once was, but that was about it. Picture it, a dad and 7 year old dining together, plates clearly finished with. Waitress correctly asks dad if all was OK and if anything further is required. Dad confirms all was OK (because I'm Irish and not going to complain, also, I ate most of it) and we are finished. Waitress then turns to child and asks if he wants anything more. no no no no no...... bold waitress, Parents speak for the kids, are you trying to create trouble on your desperate attempt to up-sell a bowl of ice cream!? luckily for me junior is happy with my response, he's good like that. We leave with me in no hurry for a return visit. read more

GAVE ME FOOD POISONING. Horrible service. Charged me for a drink when my meal came with a drink. 3 piece tenders were equivalent to a one piece- basically a child's meal. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY read more

They copied the look but not the taste of Johnny Rockets. The burgers were over cooked & a bit dry. The sauce & topping, which tries to mask the dry burger, were better. Don't expect to get the classic 1950's american burger if you come here. Not even a reasonable facsimile. read more

Eddie Rocket's - Classic burger & fries - Diners Near Me - Dublin, D

Ordered 40€ worth of food. Never got delivered. Called the delivery company and they told us to contact Eddie Rocket's. Manager said they wouldn't do anything and said all we can do is reorder. Careful with this place, you may not get your dinner at all and they might even ask you to pay double. Rip off. Find any other Eddie's in Dublin. read more

Generic, quick, diner food that will give you just what you need. The food here was nothing special, but I was seriously craving some greasy diner burgers, and I found exactly what I wanted! The service here was fast, and efficient. We ordered sweet potato fries, two burgers, and two milkshakes. They came out super quick, and clearly fresh! My oreo milkshake was fantastic, the fries were really quite good, and the burgers hit the spot. If I were looking for a real high quality burger, this wouldn't be my stop, but it serves its purpose. read more

The first time I enjoyed an Atomic Burger with chilli fries and a bottle of Bud in Eddie Rocket's, Dame Street was about 6 years ago. The food was phenomenal but my experience was tainted by a guest appearance of a greasy rat which ambled out of the kitchen and strolled around the restaurant. Damn shame because the food was great. On logging a complaint, the health service told me it was ok as the rat was dying. Well...thank God for that, says you. A greasy dead rat is SO much worse than a healthy spright young creature. ok, ok, it was a bad experience but the temple bar area is overflowing with rats, being so close tto the Liffey and every business experiences this at some stage. And believe it or not I still pop in the odd time as friends of mine really like it in there. My rating reflects the fact that they've gone a bit scabby and I have to send back my chilli fries and atomic burger with instructions that the chef has to cop on to himself or there'll be words. If I'm payng that much for a burger, I want more than a smear of chilli on the top thankyouverymuch! read more

It's similar to Johnny Rockets in the US. Diner themed restaurant. Ate breakfast there and I ordered a coffee, side of bacon, side of tater tots, side of mush rooms, side of grilled tomato. Another in my group ordered pancakes. And the rest ordered classic diner style breakfast plates. read more

I use to be a really big fan of Eddie Rockets but then I realised how cheesy and over priced it really was but I still have to admit that I think they do the greatest Buffalo Wings and Blue Cheese sauce in the whole of Dublin! This diner is also great and has a fab location and is really popular with the performers from the Olympia! How do I know? Well, I use to perform here and eat at Eddie Rockets! So it was popular with me! They do great shakes and coke floats too! read more

Eddie Rocket's - Eddie Rockets - Diners Near Me - Dublin, D

Eddie Rockets are expensive so I really like their slider/basket menus. two mini burgers and a handful of chips for €4 are good value and will leave you full enough. The place looks a bit greasy or oily but handy for a quick bite. Service is always prompt and fast. read more

There is only one reason to go to this place. An I really mean ONLY ONE. That is, when everything else in town is closed and you are starving. If you find yourself in Dublin at 11pm and you are famished, you can go here and grab some mediocre (at best) best food and pay an arm and a leg for it. Otherwise stay away. read more

MY LIFE FLASHED BEFORE MY EYES AS I WATCHED THE WAITRESS BRING MY FRIEND'S "CHICKEN TENDERS" TO THE TABLE. Three measly strips of meat, each no bigger than my pinkie finger, next to a small portion of what was clearly (barely) defrosted freezer French fries.........and don't get me started on the nachos, which I had ordered myself. From the distance, the nachos seemed to generously fill the plate, but upon closer inspection I realized that everything I thought I knew about this world- and the food industry- was a lie. One measly scoop of guacamole, maybe a splash of salsa, sour cream that tasted like YOGHURT, and oh man, I haven't even gotten to the worst part- the liquid cheese was COLD. I had a feeling the cheese came from a can, but what I didn't realize is that cold cheese could actually psychologically inhibit me from experiencing joy ever again. I know I sound dramatic, but these nachos were only the start. The meal I had was a prime example of an international food crime. Furthermore, my friend who is vegan and has extremely specific food allergies asked if she could have the tater tots with french fries because she could not have the mozzarella sticks (which it came with), but they said they would not be able to serve her that. When we asked why, our waitress could not give us any kind of response; she just said that they could not. In summation, this entire experience was the absolute lowest point of my experience in Ireland. DO NOT be fooled by the classic chic 50s American diner vibe that the decor emanates- I admit, I was. Ultimately, I am a) offended that this restaurant advertises their food as "American-style," b) confused as to how multiple locations of said restaurant even exist, and c) upset that I cannot give them less than one star on here. If the Irish FDA could go to this establishment and begin the process of shutting it down I guarantee they would be doing the whole country a huge favor. read more

Eddie Rockets is great for a laugh. The novelty of sitting in a 50s style diner never wears thin. The jukeboxes and hokey signs only enhance the feel good atmosphere. I also get kicks from seeing the kitchen staff wear those funny little pointy hot dog stand hats. The burgers are massive and really stick to your ribs. There's nothing better than the Atomic Burger (jalapenos and chili sauce) after a couple of pints on George Street. Melanie is right to say that the Buffalo Wings and Blue Cheese Sauce are to die for. Three words: finger licking good! read more

It looks a lot like Johnny Rockets and I wanted a burger, so in I went. When you walk in, it is like a time warp... red seats, white interior, old timey signs on the wall, red baskets for your food, the old style jukeboxes on the tables (sadly they don't work), etc. It wasn't very busy, but it took awhile to get seated... there were only two wait staff working and it seemed like they were a bit overwhelmed. I decided to have a little bowl of the chili and the bacon cheddar burger. The chili kind of reminded me a bit of the chili at Steak n' Shake. It was good and they served it with a bit of cheese on top and some tortilla chips. I noticed my burger and fries sitting under the heat lamp, but there was no one around to bring it to me. Eventually the burger got to my table. With it being an American-style diner, I thought the bacon on the burger would be crispy, streaky bacon, however it was not and I was a bit disappointed. I ended up taking it off because it was making it difficult to eat the burger. The burger itself was nice, not sure what exactly the ER sauce is, but it was ok. I did like how they wrap up the burger in paper as it can get a bit messy trying to eat a burger. And the fries, well they were in the American-style, but after having lived in the UK for a couple years, I prefer the chunky cut chips now, however they were a bit on the undercooked side. A lot of my students stop in here when we visit Dublin because they are missing home and really seem to like it. I'd probably go back for a chili cheese dog or a brown cow (a coke float). read more

Is not going to happen again. The meat is good as in any other burger bar in town. But they are cheaper. I had the worst onion rings ever, the tap water tasted like plastic and a bad milkshake. All served by an unprofessional waitress. read more

Oh my jaysis this place is just fantastic I have always loved it I love the way the interior is fashion ned from American pop culture of the world 50's and 60's, and right down to the dinky jukebox on every booth. And now we come to the food. Oh my god first of all the menus are laid out perfectly, if you are a fussy eater like me the menu is very detailed. I ordered the big hot dog. Guys when it came out I nearly died, so apart from being loaded with cheese and bacon it was quite a mouthful aherm but gorgeous and the fries were lovely too. I can't recommend this place highly enough just do yourselves a favour and GO GO GO. read more

Atmosphere is really nice and service was good. However, we ordered the sizzling breakfast and the scrambled eggs were sooooo cold. We waited more than 20 minutes for two sausages and cold scrambled eggs. read more

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. 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

Service was very bad, didn't feel that welcoming. Server questioned us as if we were stupid! Never even checked and us to see if we needed anything! Bunch of servers on the floor! The one we got was the most unpleasant out of them all. read more

Terrible food and terrible service. We visited and they forgot to ring up one of our party's meals and then blamed it on the kitchen. The entire party had finished their meals before the forgotten one was brought out and they were anything but apologetic. Don't waste your money! read more

If I'm not dead now, I will be dead in a few days from the sheer amount of disgustingness this food is. Straight from the freezer, and don't get me started on the chicken tenders! It should be a crime to get chicken tenders as small and as bad as the ones I got. What did those poor chickens ever do to you??? Johnny Rockets needs to come teach this place a thing or two about really good American diner food. Gordon Ramsey, where you at?? Please save the innocent people of Dublin from this horrible sad excuse of a restaurant. read more

This place is quite pricey for the value and it's just fast food, nothing special. My classic cheeseburger was fulfilling but did not feel well afterwards. The meal wasn't worth the price we paid. read more

when I came here I was pretty buzzed so it tasted pretty good but definitely don't come for a high end meal. we were close to our hostel and on a time crunch so we stopped in. the food hit the spot at the time but if I had come any other time I would not be happy. only come if completely necessary. read more

Fries are great! Burger was cold and marginal at best, no Johnny Rocket's that's for sure. Couldn't identify the flavor of the vanilla shake but it was identical to my husbands chocolate shake. We both agreed it was the first shake we couldn't drink. I would say don't bother. read more
