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.

When we walked in, we were completely in awe of the whole décor / design of the place as it was like walking into an American diner in the 60's. I was waiting on Marty McFly walking past to be honest. Customer service was great! The best I have received in such a long time. The waiting staff were also great with kids. There is a jukebox at each booth which cost's 20p per song but all the money goes to charity which I think is great, and it has all the greats you would expect hearing in a joint like this, Elvis, The beach boys, Chuck Berry etc.... The food was pretty good, and this is the only reason it did not get a 5 star from me, but it's not unique, the chips, burger and sides are most likely bought into the store in bulk and it's food you can get at Frankie and Bennys / TGI's it's not individually owned if you were to compare to somewhere like the Hotplate. But in saying that it was pretty tasty, portion sizes were good and I would definitely be 'back in the future' if I am up at Boucher Road and the stomach starts talking to me! P.S you have to get a milkshake they are pretty Awesome!

There are a range of delicious options throughout the day. There are delicious fries, filled soda and scones and tray bakes for a lovely breakfast. There are a range of sandwiches and soups for lunch and then a wide range of options for dinners. There are the usually options like burgers, chicken Maryland's and other popular dinner options, and a range of changing daily specials which will include pies, steaks, meat specialties and roast dinners. The roast dinners are brilliant, with wonderfully prepared veg and generous portions of chicken and ham. The deserts here are also great, with the sticky toffee puddings and jam sponge and custard personal comforting favourites. Nothing in here is groundbreaking at all, it is just done really really well. Bravo!

Proper home cooked chips and wedges, lovely fresh veg and good sized portions. The best fry you will get anywhere, great value for money and extremely tasty. There are seats downstairs and 2 separate parts upstairs, AJs has expanded well over the years. I have heard the homemade desserts are amazing but I've ways been too full after one course so never got around to trying them. Sometimes the staff can be a bit huffy if you ask for anything to be substituted especially on the fry but they will do it. If you're ever out this way AJs is the place to try.

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.

Whether it is a post night out fry up, pre-cinema dinner, or Sunday night meet up with friends for a hot chocolate and slice of cake, Springsteens meets all of our requirements with ease. The style of the restaurant is that of an American diner - it is spacious and very well laid out. The seating arrangements are pew-like booths, which allows for a comfortable relaxed envioronment where you can chat with friends and not feel like other patrons are listening in! The menu will suit people of all tastes, aside from the usual 'American Diner' type burgers, fries and shakes, there are options such as soups, club sandwiches, wraps, and my personal favourite, a number of Mexican options, such as Burritos and Chimichangas. Drinks wise, this is a licensed premises, and as such can purchase alcoholic beverages in addition to tea, coffee, and soft drinks. All of the food is reasonably priced, and the portions are huge, you will not go hungry after eating here! Last but not least, and the reason why I give this establishment the full five stars, is the service. The staff at Springsteens in Carrickfergus are always cheerful and helpful, facilitating any special additions or changes to our order without any fuss (I'm one of those annoying customers who always wants my order slightly different to how it is on the menu) The staff always get the balance just right, checking how the meal is shortly after serving, and noticing when drinks are running low and offering refills, but without being overly intrusive to our dining experience.

They enjoy the traditional food on the menu. We went for the Christmas dinner a few years back and decided to return recently hoping for the same quality food and service. We were not disappointed. They have an early bird special on Mon-Fri 3-6:30 with a few good choices of main with a glass of wine for £12.50. I had a good burger with chunky chips. The spicy slaw with the burger was great. Mum had the Seafood Melody and Dad had Turkey and Ham. We all enjoyed our food. They also do a tasting menu with matching wine on Thursdays for £40. Staff are friendly and helpful. They have a lovely garden out the back with garden room and fire. Lovely place for a wedding. I managed to sneak a look towards the room they have the weddings, which looked classy. You would'nt realise there was a wedding on, as the place is so spacious yet private. Great place if you are out around the area, maybe after a walk at Crawfordsburn country park

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.

So happy with our choices because this was some of the best food we had in our entire trip. Even 'just burgers and fries' they offered unique toppings, as well as offering some unique craft beers in bottles-we hadn't seen on any tap list. I ordered the Black Pudding Burger-which was the best meal on my trip. The burger was massive and stacked with juicy, bold flavor toppings. I also had the side salad, which was zestier than I expected. My hubby ordered the Champion BBQ burger, also super juicy, stacked high with toppings. Friends ordered one of each taco, and each was better than the last bite-making it hard to pick a favorite. I wish I could have gotten another burger on another night, it's worth it!
