Love this place! Not much to look like but it's burgers done right! They also have every flavor of soda there is! Don't miss it

Ive been coming here for years and these folks are always on point. Love the soda selection and food. I cant wait to go back!

The best burger in the valley. Worth the trip from Arcadia. I had sub steak burger with fries. Love the fashion way fries. I missed those fries, with a great knockout flavor . The sodas was the best selection! 1000 type of sodas! read more

This place is great. Old School burger done well. Their bottled soda selection is insane. They had a Peoples Court soda! Wasn't sure I want to know how that one came about, but thought it was pretty cool. read more

Nice little find for lunch. Burgers were large with lots of flavor. Had nice Ruben sandwich, the corned beef was tender. Large basket of tries to share that tasted fresh. Was also a soda pop shop with eclectic variety of sodas which was fun to look at. Service was excellent and food arrived quickly fresh and hot. Would definitely recommend and will be back. read more

This place is a diamond in the rough. First time here thanks to Yelp reviews. It was good! They have friend mushrooms..my fav!! They have so many different versions of soda to pick from it's kind of overwhelming. When I made my selection in the bottle and tried it..was so good! They have quite a bit on the menu! Service was friendly and good! Give it a try! read more

I actually love this place. I've moved from Phoenix but whenever I am down visiting family, I go grab a burger and try a new flavor soda. They never disappoint and they are so friendly! read more

Although their prices are a little steep for burgers they are worth it. I got the Philly cheese steak burger and it was to die for.... no for real I think I had a heart attack eating all that grease. but all jokes aside it was everything A burger should be! Can't wait to try some of the other menu items. I just wish they serve their cheese curds with marinara sauce read more

First off this place is not 5 stars by any means. For all of you that did give 5 stars you need to get you taste buds checked. 5 stars is for greatness. What I do like about the restaurant is the soda selections. This is by far the biggest selling point of the restaurant. My kids love coming here just so they can pick a new bottled soda to try. I have ate hear twice. The first time I got the Italian sub while the kids got hamburgers. The kids said "meh" to the hamburgers and that is about how I felt with the sandwich. The second time this place smelled in the inside. Its that smell of rancid oil. That smell tells you that the fryers are not clean and makes it questionable. I would go back to Rocket Burger but just to buy the soda. read more

This place is great! I ordered a burger combo with something they called the ghost pepper burger. Had some spicy cheese, bacon, and a few other things I don't really remember. Came with a large side of fries and a drink. The burger was great. I don't agree with other reviewers who said there is too much sauce. The sauce definitely dripped out, but the bun kept everything in place. The fries were cooked perfectly but could have used a bit more seasoning. Food came out very quickly. The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the craft sodas. I didn't try any of the bottled sodas, but the craft fountain sodas were not my favorite. Still they also have standard sodas as well. So no worries there. Will definitely be back. Used both the 10% off check in promotion and also got 10% cashback from yelp. After those, the meal is almost free! read more

Anyone who doesn't go here is Severely Missing Out!!! Everything is just AMAZING!! Sammiches totally Beat Out any sandwich chain!!

Great selection! Always good! Tons of different root beers.. friendly staff. Good prices

Great burgers and cool bottled soda collection. The interior feels like a gas station aisle, but has a bit more seating and space than you'd expect after seeing it from the outside. Very good prices for food and very tasty. Looking forward to trying their other burgers! read more

This place is by far the best burger place in town so many options and low priced for the quality and the portions.they even have 100s of sodas to choose from do yourself a favor and check it out you wont be disappointed! read more

I love this place! I have only been here twice but everytime never disappointed the food is always fresh they have a variety of different dishes to choose from the bacon burger is really good along with the Italian sub! read more

Surprise! Best fries I've had in awhile! Tons of choices, I tried the special. Bonus craft soda on tap!

Delicious food and great staff. A local burger joint that really goes all the way. The dining area is usually pretty full whenever we go but we always take our food to-go so it's not an issue. We haven't had a bad experience yet and we've been here at least a half dozen times. read more

Great food I loved it and people are real nice. I had the Cali burger bomb.com Also the onion rings are greatly seasoned

This place is unique. It's a dive version of a burger shop. Basically the same people that would go to a drive bar should go here. Its has that type of charm. The burgers are good, just read the ingredients first, and there drink selection is no joke. read more

Food was great, soda collection was outstanding. Kids loved the ice cream. Great for lunch and kids.

Yikes. Lady that answered sounded confused and didn't seem to speak English that well. Completely messed up our order. I repeated and confirmed my order with her and everything seemed okay, but everything ended up being wrong. All sandwiches were incorrect and gave us three extra orders of fries (four total)...I told her "ONE order of chilli cheese fries." read more

Best burgers in town! Service was great! I highly recommend the Gyro burger! Staff was quick and friendly.

It's a strange phenomenon that happens so very rarely, where something is redone, a song or movie for example, and ends up better than the source material -- *More Real Than The Original* ...Buffy the Vampire Slayer television show vs. movie ...Jimi Hendrix vs. Bob Dylan All Along The Watchtower (even Dylan admitted it was Jimi's song now) There is a restaurant concept sweeping the valley right now, based on a certain small number (between 1 and 3) of people of a certain philosophy (free-wheeling, nature-loving, noodly-music-listening) and their crazy atmosphere establishments full of odd "paraphernalia". Well, think about how one of those places got your hopes up and then left them dashed, and head on over to Rocket Burgers & Subs for everything you thought you'd get with those other guys: ~A fresh, clean, uncluttered atmosphere that you can sit comfortably inside of while enjoying your meal. ~A HUGE selection of almost any kind of soft drink you'd desire to quench that thirsty, dry mouth of yours. ~Lots of variety of menu, all with inexpensive good quality items of decent portion ~A radio playing the xmsirius Grateful Dead Channel for your soothing/stimulating dining pleasure. ~and a couple of really nice, friendly, hippy-on-the-inside-not-just-for-show restauranteurs eager to discuss their business and products, who are not only present now, but seem that they'll be sticking around to ensure the quality and value of their new place doesn't wane. The food is fresh, fast, and inexpensive. If you want burgers, subs, dogs, pizza-bread, gyro, salad, handmade fries & onion rings, PBJ with homemade jam -- they've got it. The chicken sandwich had a light crispy breading and a solid chunk of breast meat. The burger was a smaller patty (available as a double) but not dry, and the condiments were fresh and generous. For both sandwiches, the standout part was the fresh bun from Simply Bread (local). It was soft/firm enough to be just right, and had great flavor. They have a cooler chock full of interesting and bizarre selections from Pop The Soda Shop (Jones Soda, imported ginger ales and root beers, glass bottle real sugar sodas from mexico, dublin dr pepper, etc). My spicy Bleinheim Ginger Ale did not skimp on the ginger flavor! A couple of real ex hippies would do it like this -- no flashy superficial emphasis on outward appearances and gimmicks, just quality, freshness, and friendliness that is truly genuine and sincere. I feel like I made a new friend. Rocket Burgers & Subs is one out of this world place, and I'm glad it landed in my neighborhood. read more

Okay so I've said before that I'm a big fan of owner operated businesses, and small local businesses. This place is one of them. You walk in the door and to your left are six refrigerator doors chocked full of about 250 different specialty sodas. All priced at a $1.89 and to your right there are the two owners and two helpers. One of the owners is at the cash register and handling the customer service and the other is that the sandwich table whipping up delicious hamburgers subs and the like. Very friendly and helpful!!!!! While I was there I asked a couple questions of the owners. One was do they weigh the meat before they load it into the sandwich? The guy at the sandwich making table shook his head no and said we want to make it good. Indicating they just cut a lot in there until it looks right. Needless to say my sandwich was well portioned. Rand H. and I both got a Large Ruben on Sourdough and split an order of fries. I really like this place for a lot of reasons, some of which I noted in my review. While we were eating I saw a few more orders roll by and they were all generous servings that looked delish. read more

Rocket Subs & More opened about three weeks ago. It's hidden away in the Church's Chicken plaza at 35th avenue and Cactus. The boy and I were on our way to another sub shop today when we drove by this sub place, we made a quick executive decision to go here instead and pulled in. Walking in, there's the counter to order on your right, seating to the left, and cases of sodas and beverages along the back wall, with shelving for chips, corn nuts, etc. After some brief decision making, we decided to order a Rocket Dog combo meal (easy on the mustard and ketchup, with onions), and a Country Club sub, toasted. Combo meals here are awesome, you get chips or fries and a drink from their first case (cans of your everyday soda brands), for a dollar more, you can select a soda or drink from one of the other cases - and that is where the fun begins. They had TONS of different brands and flavors of sodas to choose from. I chose a Mason's root beer in a super cute glass bottle, and the boy chose Pepsi (boo - boring choice!). It took less than 5 minutes for our food to be brought out to us. The sub? Amazingly toasted goodness - eat your heart out, Quizno's! My hot dog and fries were also awesome. The fries were well seasoned and crunchy, the hot dog made perfectly to order. :) The owner swung by our table and asked how everything was (awesome, thanks!) and he also shared that starting next week they will be serving hamburgers and cheeseburgers. Overall, the food was awesome, the selection of drinks was great, and we will be back for more. Last, but certainly not least - the price? Great! For two sodas, a huge sub, a hot dog, and a giant side of fries it came to $11.00! :) Before leaving we also took some sodas for the road (Captain Eli's Ginger Beer, anyone?) read more

I was fixated on the Rocket "Burger" of Rocket Burger & Subs... so much so that for my first visit, I though I'd be doing an injustice if I didn't get a burger. Truth is: what's special about Rocket Burger is 1) the bread and 2) the rocket sauce. The burger itself... eh, just fine. And, yes, there's forty million sodas to choose from but if you're looking for "diet," you'll be forced to choose pepsi. Still: four stars because the bread is awesome! I can not wait to go back and get a sandwich! Chewy, but you're not going to break your jaw or cut the roof of your mouth on it. And, the rocket sauce puts other "secret sauces" to shame! Bottom line: don't forget the "subs" at Rocket Burger! read more

Always friendly staff. Amazing selection of carbonated beverages! Delicious daily specials. My favorite local burger joint.

My wife finally caved in today and went to Rocket Burger & Subs after hearing great things about it. As for me personally, Eek ! Methinks not. The burger patty was big but thin. The fries were bascially the frozen in a bag type at your local grocery store. Seriously ! Are you kidding me ? Everybody knows that the fries compliment the burger and if your fries are weak that kills the burger. My wife brags along with the other reviewers that they have 300 sodas to choose from. To me that is just 300 ways to get diabetes. Look, the burger was whack, the fries are the frozen variety and I could care less about 300 sodas. Rocket Burger & Subs Eek! Methinks not. read more

After dining here almost every day of his week-long vacation, The Rob has decided that it is not a grease that comes off some of the burgers, (as previously stated) but a sort of au jus sauce, the contents of which is trying to break down with each visit. Makes me feel a bit better about the massive amounts of beef, fried potatoes and fried cheese he ingested in such a short time. Oh, and we are super hooked on the fries now too. Like, craving hooked. Good for them, not good for me and my estranged relationship with the elliptical machine. Sigh. read more

It's hard to not give this a five and I may just end up doing so just to frustrate people that hate seeing perfect scores: Seriously I was skeptical but after what seems like a streak of 3 star reviews I finally have something good to report on the end of the food chain I can speak to:) Is it the best chili cheese dog I've had? No.The best chilli-cheese fries? No.Most extensive selection of sodas? Again no but truly this place adds up to more than the sum of its parts.It has nearly the best of all three in one friendly, clean place that I'm looking forward to returning to. Their Chili-cheese dog takes Sonic's to school and steals its lunch money. The texture of fine ground meat / amount makes it easy enough to eat and theirs actually has flavor in the chilli, you know unlike every chain that tries to sell you the same thing. When added to cheese and the fries it was really great though my preference is for fatter fries this was a great portion for the money. Wife's bare lettuce and meat burger was tasty with maybe a slightly enthusiastic shake of the seasonings but to be fair if it was a fully dressed burger I bet it would be hard to tell. Kid's Cheese burger ,oh yes, very very good and hopefully he appreciates now why we keep him away from that clown. Really the choice is great, the soda's great, friendly people that ask, and really seem to care, if you liked the food give this a 4.5 rounded to five. read more

Lemme tell y'all something right now. Check my profile. Yelp Elite 10, Yelp Elite 11. What this means to you is, I aint no bitch. I eat good food mother fackers. GOOD FOOD. Rocket Burger did not disappoint. I've got 2 words for you. Rocket sauce. I'm not going to act like I know whats in, I do not. I do know that Rocket sauce rocks the body that rocks the party. I dont even care whats in it. I only know that it is good and thats all I need. I was extremely disappointed to find they had no Dublin DeePee. Which is a staple in any specialty soda shop. Too many rules and restrictions it seems. Its pretty easy to make an average burger but something completely different to make a great one. ROCKET BURGER MAKES A GREAT BURGER. I put my 2, count them 2, Yelp Elite Badges on the line here and declare that the In and Outs and 5 Guys of the world better watch their back. Its obvious the guys running rocket burger are developing a rabid following by just being cool dudes serving high level food. NONE CAN DEFEND! ps This review is pretty much a 5 star. I've just started being more stingy with my Stars. read more

Love this place. Definitely my go to burger and fries place when I'm in need of a 5 star meal. Prices are super reasonable, service is friendly enough, and they have an array of sodas from which to choose. I've tried maybe 5 different burgers/sandwiches, and they've all been amazing. Go out of your way to come here. read more

I got the bacon double cheeseburger. This is a really great burger for a very reasonable price. I'll be stopping in here regularly. And the selection of rare sodas is really amazing. read more

Presentation is good. Beef patties/ burger meat had no flavor and patties are super thin--if used real burger meat and made own patties it would be better. Bacon used on burger was deep fat fried not pan fried and could tell by grease taste. Cheese looked yummy melted but again no taste--not real. Fries were way over-cooked and not seasoned with anything. Ranch dressing waa good for dipping condiment and tasted homemade. Fountain drinks were all low on flavor and just not good. My double bacon cheeseburger with fries and drink combo was $11.00 with a 10% off coupon. Not worth it. If they upgraded quality of food products served, I'd consider a return trip but not otherwise. You're seriously better off with a fast food chain burger combo. Sorry, keeping it real for real. read more

I've been coming here for years and it's just a great hangout place with the absolute best drink selection! 10/10 for drinks and exotic sodas! The food is 7/10 not falling out of your chair amazing but definitely worth coming back for time and time again read more

The name of the place is Rocket Burgers, yet somehow I got a sub. And let me tell you it was so dang delish!! It was the New Yorker loaded with Pastrami with homemade cole slaw swiss cheese and rocket burgers own sauce. OOOHHHH dang!! So delish!! I love a good pastrami sammie! Their fries are delish as well. But this place has over 300 different types of sodas, and even carries Dublin Dr Pepper, you might get a little over whelm on which soda to choose from but it's interesting to see the different types from all over. I settled on a frosty vanilla root beer and was not disappointed. Can't wait to come back and try out other sandwiches and burgers! read more

Well thanks to Yelp I found another local hidden gem. Specifically in the west side! I had no idea about this place but was in the area and was hungry and wanted something that wasn't a chain. Well Rocket was just the answer. Located in a small run down strip mall I wouldn't have expected such a good place. I was on the run so I ordered the open faced Big Dipper to go. I really liked how even though it was to go they included a large Cup of an jus to dip my sandwich in. After the sub I was very satisfied. As mentioned in other reviews they have a large selection of sodas to drink for sale. I really wasn't in the mood for a soda or I would have tried one. I'd like to come back to try more sandwiches and a burger. I was impressed with the friendliness of the staff and value and quality of my sandwich. I'm so glad for Yelp for introducing me Rockets, I will make my way back here sometime soon! read more

OK I will admit I am pretty ashamed of myself here. I did not realize I had not reviewed this place yet. SHAME ON ME!!! I have been here half a dozen times and this place always makes me smile, and full. The food here is awesome, dozens of Burgers, Hot Dogs, sides and do not forget the fried Cheese Curds. Then there is the infamous Rocket Burger. You can get any burger turned into a Rocket Burger (on a sesame seed sub bun) it is delicious but you have to have a huge stomach. Sometimes I will stop in just to get a 6 pack of soda and then spend 20 minutes deciding which one I want. I believe I counted approx 360+ sodas? They also have slush puppies, I have not seen or had these since I was a kid. I would love to see this place expand it is awesome. All of the food I have tried was extremely good. My kids beg to come here for dinner all the time! ...Why are you still reading this and not driving to this place? GO!!! read more
