If you're a fan of burgers and American Diners than you're going to love Belfast's newest burger…read morebar, Eddie Rockets. One of only a few in Ireland ER's is already proving to be a big hit on the Lisburn Road. Yesterday when I paid a visit it was absolutely jam packed. But the pin striped, attentive staff managed to deal with the hoards of burger lover admirably. The whole restaurant follows the USA diner theme, red tiles, bold brash posters with American slogans and red leather booths. Right down to even the tiniest details this place is perfect - they have mini duke boxes (50's style) where you can pay 20p for your choice of song. Right on to the important bit, the food. The menu is full of tempting delights but I went for the Smokestack burger upon a recommendation. I have to say I was not disappointed! The Burger bun was soft and fluffy, the burger was meaty and the extras combination were sublime. The best part of the burger was definitely the 'secret' sauce - sort of like a vinegary mayo. I'm underselling it with that description. Burgers will set you back £6.45 but they are not small and you certainly won't be hungry after eating them. I loved Eddie Rocket's - the only tiny thing I would mention is that it took a while for us to get our food which made us rush eating it. I will put this down to how busy it was. The place certainly isn't understaffed. Top marks from me - there's so much on the menu to sample that I will have to make a trip back soon!

When you enter Eddies you can see that it is just like stepping into a real American diner and a great touch is that there is a juke box at every table. The food is great also. This is at heart a burger joint and they do it well. I had a smokestake burger and it was delicious. Applewood cheese, onion rings and secret sauce allll gooooood!!! I loved the food so much that I went back for seconds the next day and I can davey say that I will be back again.

Visited Eddie Rocket's, Boucher Crescent, on Sunday 26 February 2017. The restaurant was extremely…read morebusy and noisy with lots of customers, especially families with young kids. Nice interior which is traditional American Diner themed, but that's about all that impressed. Service was slow and haphazard. Vegetarian options extremely poor and quality of food not good. As there were hardly any vegetarian dishes on the menu I opted for the only vegetarian burger (The Ultimate Veggie). I choose to have this in a bowl with a side of French fries. My dining companion choose a couple of sides instead of a main - cheese fries and onion rings - again because the vegetarian options were so lacking. We waited for 10 minutes at our table before our order was taken then had quite a long wait before our food was served. When the food eventually arrived we still hadn't been given our drinks. We had to ask again for drinks, knives, forks and vinegar. Extremely poor and slow service which was not up to standard at all. Dessert consisted of a Knickerbocker Glory and cookies and ice-cream Sunday. Average desserts which looked better than they tasted. Overall Eddie Rocket's food disappointed. I could make a nicer meal at home with frozen supermarket-bought fries and burgers just baked in the oven. I am not impressed with Eddie Rocket's and found it dissatisfactory - both food and service need improvement.

It's pretty hidden in the alley and not going to lie...coming to a new city, let alone a new country by myself was a bit intimidating, but I found it just in time for my reservation. I absolutely loved my first Michelin Star restaurant experience. I was born in Belfast, and have never been back since I was born, so I enjoyed every opportunity to tell a server. The staff was so friendly and described every dish. I ordered the Seasonal Tasting MenuEach dish was excellent. My favorite was probably the duck and the savory mousse pastries. Food in order of serving: 1. Sourdough Guinness bread with vanilla butter and olive oil 2. Olive sponge crab and apple, chicken and caramel with some type of mousse 3. Scallops, cucumber frothy brown butter 4. Bluefin tuna tartare with avocado and heirloom tomato 5. Halibut with crispy chicken skin 6. Duck 7. Sorbet and then....my phone died before I could write down the other yummy dishes I ate! The ambience was dark, romantic, and vibey. A little mysterious because of the hidden aspect, but overall I loved my whole experience here.

My weekday dinner at Muddler's Club seemed a bit directionless…read more The food is excellent, taste, flavor combinations and présentation. That is not the concern. The space itself has a very long and interesting history, just over 40 seats have been cramped into that space. A couple tables have small glass walls to separate them and squeeze in more diners. And it's pretty loud. So loud, I can barely hear the sommelier describe her wines. There may have been music playing... but who can hear? There seems to be an attempt to elevate the bartender over the sommelier, with the menu encouraging the guests to try specialty cocktails instead of selecting whole bottles of wine. And the bartender's constant ice shaker only adds to the noise. The service is very relaxed, with servers in t-shirts and jeans, sneakers, paper napkins. And the servers seemed a bit inattentive, watching the chefs through the pass, not paying attention to guests' needs. Oh, and the server even wrote "thank you" on the printed bill... How kind. Excellent Flair. Pure Chotchkie's. For the food, I'll return. 2025 04 16. M1. 235.

This has been one of the go to places for lunch whenever I was young and being dragged around the shops by my mum. The food, is homely and rustic. You get no surprises, the menu's been the same for years and I do believe the specials of the day have been the same since the dawn of time. But that doesn't matter. It's an old school family restaurant that is rarely seen in Belfast these days. The prices are miniscule compared to a lot of other places in town. I have the same thing every time I go, the Roast chicken with mash and peas. It's simple, comfort food; food I've been eating for years and sometimes that's all you want.

There are some diners in Belfast that have been a huge let down to me (Diarmuid P and I disagree on…read moreSpringsteen's!). I hadn't much hope for Jennifer's Diner either. It's in a part of town that I wouldn't really praise for it's restaurant's, usually it's just the Café's and Deli's around this area and sure enough the food served at Jennifer's serves regular Café fare. This doesn't mean that what they serve is bad, I ordered the Burger and chips and was quick pleased with it. The burger was made fresh from mince and wasn't just a frozen mass bought patty from a whole sellers. The service was quick, the waitress was really friendly and bubbly and the price's are fine. Quite pleased to find this place, try it out!

I got a chicken burger and chips and was presented with a fillet, not that Birdseye crap, and the chips were really nice too. They also offer fry's and all the usuals with chips. I really quite enjoyed what they had to offer and while this wasn't gourmet dining, it doesn't pretend to be and really lives up to the diner standards and expectations! Jennifer's is somewhere I would certainly come back to as the food was great, quick and hot and its really easy to get to and just has that nice atmosphere about it helped by the great staff.

But Springteens appears to be making its living charging me more than the cost of a small car for what could only be described as a very average steak! If I pay close to £20 for a steak in an 'American style diner' I want Buddy Holly dug up and singing songs in the booth next to me. On top of the disappointing food, they haven't really even made a fair attempt to kit out the restaurant in the fashion of an American Diner. It looks like a public hall hosting a bad play version of Happy Days. Save yourself some time and a lot of money; go to one of the 6/7 restaurants on the same road. I'm not saying they are all better; but they can't be worse!

I understand the other branch (Lisburn Road, maybe?) is much nicer, but to be fair, it couldn't be any worse!

I will definitely be returning for another visit :)

The food arrived in about 10 mins, was nicely set out and was good We both orders off the healthy menu, hubby got a chicken & bacon Caesar with light dressing, wasn't too much sauce which was ideal I ordered a prawn orientalist stir fry...though I'm not too sure exactly how healthy it was...there was a fair amount of oil saying that it was tasty and there was ample enough big juicy prawns The kids all enjoyed theirs too! They have plenty of deals on too February every day has 2 for 1 cocktails And they have a set menu that includes a free cinema ticket...this consists of 4 columns to choose from, starting from £9.95 So plenty of choice! The girls were lovely servers, I could see they were run off their feet so I appreciate being talked to properly and not feeling 'rushed' All in all was a good lunch and will go back without the kids for a more adult beverage too

I was walking along Botanic Avenue a couple of days ago and performed an absolutely flawless double take when I saw the new signage. I don't know if it's just a 'revamp', or a brand new business. My sister and I were there on my first visit, and I'm pleased to say that the first impressions upon entering were different from Springsteen's - a lot of the silly Americana paraphernalia (bye bye, motorbike and non-functioning jukebox) has been ejected, and more tables had been installed. We were sitting upstairs - After noting that there was nothing even remotely healthy or small on the menu, I ordered my chilli dog with fries and coleslaw, my sister ordered chicken strips with a hot and tangy barbeque sauce which turned out to be resolutely non-spicy. Sadly, my chilli sauce was stone cold and congealed. We both had pots of coleslaw that were an interesting shade of yellow. So, I wasn't overly impressed but decided to give it a second chance, which led to a third and fourth. While they may have had a few problems at first, things are pretty top notch now. Let's face it, a good burger and chips is one of the world's greatest dishes (Jamie Oliver says so, therefore it must be true) - and for what you pay here, it's pretty bloody good. Their New Yorker burger with pickles and mustard is delicious, and the service can't be faulted.
