I was excited to try this place based off of the reviews but in the end I was disappointed. It has a convenient store feel with a fast food place inside of it. The food was ok at best, but the soda/drink options is the only reason to go. There are over 315 soda options, they also have fountain drinks, juices, Powerade and bottled water as well. If I go back it will only be to get drinks because of all the unique drink options that you can't find most place. 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

Went to Rocket Burget with my brother based on reviews I'd read here. The place was fairly large and had lots of tables, but despite it not being very busy; most of the tables weren't clean and the store had a strange smell (or 'funk') lingering near the entrance. My burger was made the way they make all the burgers, which was unfortunate since my order was for only lettuce and onion (and Mayo doesn't just scrape off). So I wasn't able to eat or try to enjoy my burger. Based on the way they took our order and the cleanliness of the place, the employees just seemed disinterested so I didn't bother to try and get it fixed. The soda selection was awesome. They have everything you can think of. The downside is it's all cans and bottles with no soda fountain. I'm the kind of person who enjoys free refills for my drinks. I did get to enjoy the fries and onion rings; and the onion rings are some of the best I've ever had. The onion rings alone are going to bring me back to give the burgers (and employees) another shot, but unfortunately with just my first visit to judge off of, it's not something I'm anticipating happening soon. 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

Lots of retro sodas to choose from! Nice locally owed burger joint that also serves gyro's, and other sandwiches. You gotta love a place that cuts their own spuds at least I do. I had the cheeseburger special for 3.99 nice size patty, fries and a drink with free refills. read more

Over a year later and still great. Went in on a Sunday afternoon for a late lunch and got the California burger (sans tomatoes and pickles). The avocado was fresh, the bun wasn't dry, and their "secret" sauce was still perfectly peppery and went great with the avocado and cheese. It's also one of the only places to get a lot of the soda they have on offer and today I chose a vanilla root beer from Barrel Brothers. It seems that they bought most of the mini-mall they're in so there's more parking and will soon be a lot more seating. Good for them! read more

My first visit was last week. Good food and good prices. Had the burger and the wife had a sub. Both were very good. Good fries and rings as well. If you order a "combo" you will get a HUGE basket of fries. Even my family (who loves to eat fries!) could share one order between two of us. The interior needs a bit of TLC but these guys are just starting out and they are independent (which you have to love in our chain saturated restaurant). The location is a bit ghetto but you don't need to pack heat. You do leave smelling like grease...so bring an extra shirt. :) I really liked the huge selection of unique soda. The kids loved it too. This was a really cool touch. The owners are really friendly and nice and you just feel good supporting a local business. We need more restaurants like Rocket Burgers. Keep up the good work guys! read more

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

Rocket Burger's homemade onion rings are some of the best I've ever had. I love the California burger, and the gyro burger is super awesome. I always make sure to steal a bite of Andy F's rocket burger (it's three patties! on a sub roll! so epic). Part of the fun of eating at Rocket Burger is spending way too long examining all the soda options - last time, I found a dandelion soda, but was just too chicken to try it (but YOU should - and tell me about it!) The owners and staff are lovely, and you can tell they really care about this place. Andy and I actually had a really terrible experience our first time here (waited an hour + for food that was cold on arrival, etc), and when Andy yelped about it, the owner reached out. He said there was no excuse for the terrible service, but he'd instituted some changes and hoped we'd come back. We've been back a dozen times since that fateful day, and never once have we regretted it! Well, I regret not having tried all the sodas. But I feel I made a valiant effort! read more

I stopped in after reading about it here.... Ordered the Eddie Lopez Burger (Double)... First of all, the burger is huge... a single would have been fine, but hey, who's counting calories? I really enjoyed this burger...every bite of it... Next time I will venture to try either the bacon burger or the Cali burger. Great service...And the coolest thing I have seen in a long time is their bottle soda fridges..must have been 8 of them... They had every kind of soda you can imagine... I'm talking about sodas from way back when...Ones I didn't think were out there any more.. Can't wait to bring my family back for dinner. read more

This was my second time here. I had the double gyro burger. I thought it was awesome and I was impressed for the second time in a row. The owner brought out some Mexi Slaw and it had some amazing flavors. They also have craft sodas on tap now and all of them were very true to taste and not too sweet. Love this place! 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

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

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

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

A few months ago I set out to find the best burger in town. I tried The Grind, Wineburger, and a couple of others but none can top Rocket Burger. It was the best cheeseburger I have ever had, by a mile! I ordered a double cheeseburger with everything. The bun was toasty yet soft, the veggies were fresh, the meat was perfect, and the thousand island sauce was the icing on the cake. I had the fries and the onion rings as well. Both were just mediocre in my opinion. The beverage selection was huge and beyond awesome! If you are looking for a great burger at a great price look no further. No other burgers can compare! I am going to have to work out harder because I plan on going back to eat there very often! Went back today just to make sure it was going to be as good as the first time. I honestly could not believe a burger could be this good. Guess what? It was just as amazing the second time!!! read more

Best SODA selection ever!!! Not opinion it's FACT Solid sides and food, nice atmosphere. read more

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

This restaurant is one of Phoenix's best kept secrets behind the Church's Chicken. The service is topnotch, the food is amazing, and the drink selection is up there with the best of them. I went there for the first time two days ago with my Mom. I got the recommendation from a couple of friends who share the same love of this kind of food that I do. I ordered the Afterburner Burger and it exceeded my expectations. It had just the right amount of heat. I also ordered fries and onion rings and they did not disappoint. My mom ordered the reuben and it looked pretty good. The food prices are cheap which made the food taste even better. Not only is the food good, but they have a huge selection of vintage soda that would blow your mind. They receive extra points for having the Texas born "Dublin Dr. Pepper" in stock. The owner doesn't talk much but the service is amazing. The ambiance is a little dive-y but it adds to the experience. All in all, Rocket burger is a great restaurant to chow down on your favorite foods. read more

First time visit, found using Yelp. Decor is a little funky with colorful rockets painted on the walls. First thing you notice is a set of large coolers with every brand of soft drink bottles and cans. I had no idea there were so many different varieties and brands on the market. Staff was very friendly and offered several suggestion as they have a large number of burgers with all sorts of choices available as single and multiple patties. My wife selected the California Burger with Avacado, Bacon, Swiss Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato and Onion Rings. They offer their "Rocket Sauce" which is based on a variant of Thousand Island. She had an order of Onion Rings. I had a Teriyaki Burger which came with Cheese, Pineapple, Lettuce, Tomato, Mayo and a homemade Teriyaki Sauce. I had French Fries. The Burgers were fabulous! They have a special Bun, a giant step up from the more conventional mass produced bun. The beef was not overcooked and was delicious. The bun was more dome shaped than flat and a challenge to open wide enough to get the burger in your mouth gracefully. Generous slice of Pineapple and Tomato. The Onion rings were some of the best we have ever had. The coating was thinner than what you normally get but fabulous in taste. The portion was very generous and came with a couple small containers of Ranch Dressing. Unfortunately the French Fries were a disappointment. Generous portion but rather small cut, texture was overly soft and color dark brown indicating a non premium type of potato. Too little starch and to much sugar causing the overly dark color and somewhat oily taste. Would have rated the meal as five stars but poor fries dropped them a full star. Will definitely return and perhaps talk to the staff about selecting a better potato or more optimum cooking method. read more

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

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

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

Very Cool restaurant and a Must Try!!! The Menu is out of this world with all different types of unique burgers topped with pastrami, a philly cheesesteak burger, one had a breaded and then deep fried green chili on it (Who does that :) MUST TRY! Another burger experience I recommend trying, if feeling daring is the Gyro burger, this thing is about the size of 4 burgers in one and is topped with homemade tzatziki sauce. Now for the endless soda pop flavors, whatever you can think of they pretty much have it. I recommend trying the So Duh! Liquid Fire flavor, tastes just like you're sucking on an atomic fireball candy (Crazy, but fun). Place looks a lil rough on the outside, but don't let that fool you as I recommend any Burger Fanatic to try! read more

Always down for an old fashioned burger taken to its logical destination. Santa fe burger very good, the whole fried pepper was tasty. Fries are excellent and the vent on top of my togo fries really helped from them being soggy mess. Nice touch. read more

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

We are from So. Cal., have travelled far/wide in southwest/more & have never had as good a green chile cheeseburger anywhere. This scrumcious burger is called the Santa Fe Burger. Veggies (tomatoes, onions pickles), cheese, fried green chile, bacon & rocket sauce. The depth, taste, & texture was amazing. Served hot in a perfect crunchy outside/soft inside bun! Was not sure about a fried chile, thinking it may be heavily dipped/fried, but it was 'heavenly' breaded & fried to perfection, not oily, but fairly thick & crisp, adding another dimension to the old standby found in many New Mexico burger shops. Don't think it was the unsurpassed New Mexico Hatch chili which is the only thing that would improve this outstanding burger. I had the single which I could not finish because of its size & hubby had the double which he did finish. Num! Fries were not memorable. Oil not hot enough, I believe. They wilted as they cooled. Next time we'll try the onion rings, zucchini, or mushrooms. Apparently for these other veggies, they use the same coating as the above-mentioned chili in the burger. We stuck w/ the regular soda machine, but hundreds of choices in chilled bottles are behind glass to choose from. Wish we were staying one more night so we could go back and totally ruin our diets! Ha! Excellent price points, as well. Get yourselves over there before they have to expand to a pricier market. read more

Food: Burgers are ridiculous! If you want a burger with hot pastrami and special sauce this place has it. They have a variety of weirdly but awesome combinations of burgers and for the price it's better then any "Fast Food" burger. They also have other type subs like their French Dip is amazing and comes with a side of fantastic au jus for dipping. Let's talk about the ginormous variety of sodas from all over, their coolers take up most of the space to display all the sodas. Gotta try if you are craving a burger. Decor: not much to say but it looks very much like a liquor store that sells burgers in the back of the store. Service: Counter Service but friendly, willing to help you find something you'd like. Overall: I like the Burgers but will probably take it Togo. Not really a place you want hang out in. read more

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

I have been coming to this place regularly for over a year now and the quality remains outstanding with phenomenal customer service. They have a huge selection of bottled soda and offer discounts for checking in on facebook. Well worth your business and better by far than any of your franchise burger joints. read more

Like food? Me too....Like great food?! Me too! Rocket Burger is conveniently located 5 minutes from my house, and fits the budget like the 50 stars on our beautiful flag! In my opinion it's under priced, fresh food, great people, amazing cooks! But it all starts with a great owner. We got the opportunity to speak to the owner/head chef, and it explained the godly burgers that come from the kitchen. This place is great, innovative, and EASY on the bank account.
