    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.

    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.

    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.

    I used to love Eddie Rocket's. Their burgers and chicken wings were, at one point my favourite…read morefoods. 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.

    Over in Philly there was Johnnie Rockets, a suspiciously similar retro burger joint chromed and…read morered-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.

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.

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.

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.

Hah! 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!
