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 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

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

O boy I just discovered ROCKET BURGERS &SUBS. TOTALLY AWESOME!!!! This is the first time in a long while I drank 7-up from a bottle...tha fries are the bomb too!!!!! read more

I was delivered the incorrect order. The customer service I received was fantastic. And the food is good.

The area is pretty sketchy, but the burger was great. There were tons of interesting menu items and I wish I could try each one, but I went with the standard cheese burger. Of course I had to get it "Rocket" style though. The burger plus an order of fries could have easily been a challenge on Man vs. Food. With that said I couldn't finish the fries and burger which is a rarity for me. For about ten bucks it was a pretty good value and well worth it. The burger was well seasoned, cooked perfectly and wasn't greasy. The bun held up great so I didn't make a mess of my shirt as is almost always the case when I have a burger. I will definitely return because the Eddie Lopez burger has my name all over it! read more

What a fun find! I can't really add much that the other reviewers have not already said. Come by and check out the antique soda market. They own the one next door too. If you want to find a soda brand from your hometown and or your Glory Days of past, or not so Glory Days of past, they probably have it. The turkey sub was pretty good and the staff were extra nice. Hi Ruth! Ruth even gave me a small Yelp discount which was super nice of her. She did not have to do that because I did not buy the whole combo. I will definitely be going back to this fun place to try a burger too. read more

I've been here a few times and have to say it has been a great experience every time. I've primarily had their rocket sized cheeseburgers with bacon and everything has a home cooked taste to it. It is obvious the food is made with love here, and it is always reassuring to see the owner hard at work in the restaurant serving customers, not to mention cooking. Probably the only disappointing thing is that the last time we went their cheese curds were overly salty. Note I have a HIGH tolerance for salt, and this was even too much for me, it was extremely over the top. Let them know about it through email and they never did respond which is disappointing, but considering how good everything else is here I'll let it slide. read more

Eh..maybe I went on an off day. Or maybe I shouldn't have ordered a hotdog. I got the Chicago, my wife, a regular. It was decent but not worth the drive for me. Should of stuck with regular fries... the chili cheese fries were pretty gross... and I'm a huge fan of chili cheese fries. However, their soda wall is impressive! Tons of great choices. $1.99 per bottle. I guess that's the going price, but wish it was less... Pretty gross location and the inside was clean but smelled of grease. I guess I should of assumed that walking in. It's not terrible, but not great. Prices were decent overall and the service was fast and friendly. I'd only go back if I was in the area which I doubt I'll be any time soon. read more

Aren't the sketchiest places some of the best? I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak, and I was pleasantly surprised. The meat was seasoned deliciously. I would have preferred lettuce on it though... (weird huh?) any who, the price is decent for what you pay for. The only downside to this place though is that it's really small, and it gets crowded quick (beware if you have claustrophobia). I'm definitely going to back to try their other menu items. read more

Fantastic little place in the neighborhood I grew up! My husband had their bacon cheese burger combo, little guy had the hot dog combo and I had the Italian sun combo. French fries were fresh-cut, flavorful and perfectly fried. Their fries alone will get me to come back. I had a couple bites of my husband's burger which was very good! The bacon was cooked to the right amount of crispness and the bun tasted fresh baked (although I didn't verify) The meats on my Italian sandwich were awesomely thick cut. If I get this sandwich again I'll probably ask for some Italian dressing on the side to dip. Little guy's hot dog was HUGE!!! The outside skin was nice and crisp so it snapped when you bite into it. In addition to the regular fountain drinks, they have a set of specialty fountains that contain root beer, black cherry, ginger beer, etc as well as hundreds of bottled specialty sodas. This place is awesome! read more

My roommate and I went to Rocket Burger all the way from Scottsdale to look for a particular soda only sold in the midwest. We were surprised they had that one and a huge selection of other ones to boot! Including a chocolate maple bacon one, and some weird flavors we couldn't help but snap chat. We had the burger (I think santa fe??) with cole slaw, salsa, and avocado. The service was quick, and the burger was to die for! Along with it, we had the cajun fries. We will certainly be coming back for more!! read more

Honestly havent had a burger "WOW" me in quite a while.... his little hole in the wall was precisely what I had hoped for. I had the Rocket style (3 patties on a 10 inch roll) Cali burger that has bacon, avocado and rocket sauce, bread is toasted with butter so its not soggy, you can order your burger Med or well done which is a nice touch. My daughter had the corn dogs and even those were surprisingly really good. Go to this place now! Fries are actually great :) PS. They have something like 500 bottles of flavored soda, check it out if its your thing read more

I stop in every chance I get, usually for lunch when I head out of town to Vegas or Sedona. 10 visits ... plus , always fast, always tasty. Check it out! read more

This charming hole-in-the-wall has a retro vibe inside. We came here for dinner on November 1st, 2019. It was awesome! The burgers were great, but what really blew me away were the fries! They were crispy and fluffy inside; they were perfect. Throw in the fact that they have their own craft sodas! If you come here you have to get some soda from their soda shop next door. The soda is amazing and has real sugar in it. This place has everything you want from a diner: good food, family-owned and a good vibe. Please seek out this place! read more

Great burgers and amazing soda pop selection! You can updgrade their sodas to make it a float! They also have slush puppies (slushie) in a bunch of flavors! Great place to bring kids or a fun date night! You can stop next door to Pop the Soda Shop to find an even bigger selection of bottled soda! read more

Loved the food it was amazing and came out quick and was delicious won't be the last time I'm going here!!!

I was in the area and starving. Read the reviews and this place was spot on. It's got that soda shop feel with classic big burgers. I went with the bacon one and it did not disappoint. It's off the roadway but worth the stop. Friendly staff! read more

I am sitting in this establishment right now, just having finished the second burger I have ever had here. When I got my first burger here about a month ago, it was amazing. Still, I decided to try Rocket a second time because I thought it may be a fluke. It was not a fluke. These burgers are out of this world. So far I have had the Mexican burger, and now the Garlic Melt. Everything is cooked perfectly and the fries are awesome. Fast, friendly service and at a reasonable price! Will recommend to everyone I can find! read more

This place is Legit! Had such a good meal and the soda selection really is awesome! A whole wall dedicated to different sodas in glass bottles! My Gorlfriend had pumpkin pie soda and I had butterscotch root beer and it was delicious!! Definitely a win for local restaurants! read more

I went to Rocket Burger this afternoon and got the single Ghost Burger. If you like something with a little kick this is the burger for you! The chipotle mayo, along with the Ghost cheese will have you feeling a little heat. The fries were delicious. I got a raspberry soda and wish I would have chosen a different one -- it was just weird tasting. The restaurant looks like a hole in the wall but was very clean with great staff. read more

This place is a lot of fun... my kids spent about 30 minutes just picking out their drinks! Literally hundreds of different sodas! I settled on a Pecan Root Beer that was interesting and unique. I had to, the brand name on it was "Pappa Joe's" The food was good, not amazing, not "WOW!" but really good. The servers were friendly and nice and very patient with my kids. The corn dog nuggets were the hit of dinner. My kids picked a second soda and made them into floats for dessert... that was awesome (any of their drinks can be made into floats) I will definitely return. read more

Delicious burger and fries were amazing, will definitely be coming back! Everything seems very homemade and the best quality.

Food is pretty good but nothing too special. The main attraction is of course the wall of soda. They have almost every soda you can think of and for only a $1 they will make it in to a float for you which is 100% worth it especially with the butter beer! read more

This is a great neighborhood burger shop! Delicious burgers and one of our family's favorite spots! The soda wall is fun to look at as well.

A couple of coworkers and I went to Rocket Burger for lunch today based on one of those coworkers' recommendation of the place. The staff member who took my order was very nice and the food was ready within about five minutes which was nice. And the wall covered in different sodas from all over the place was pretty cool. While I enjoyed the fries very much due to the seasoning I was only mildly impressed with the burger itself. I got a double bacon cheeseburger which I expected to enjoy and finish. There was something about the sauce though that I couldn't figure out and it ruined my experience. I hate the fact that something like the flavor of the sauce has anything to do with my rating of the place, but it was something I couldn't get through and I couldn't finish my burger. I tried working through it, too. It just got to a point where o couldn't ignore it any longer and the aftertaste was no different. Would I visit again? Most likely but I won't be going out of my way to do so. read more

Everyone who is a foodie knows that the best places to eat are A) Not a chain and B) Are located in "a hole in the wall." Being wheat intolerant, I can't give any place 5 stars that doesn't have a gluten-free bun option. That said, EVERYTHING else was very good. Food is flavorful through and through. I ended up risking on a Rueben. I figure if I have an allergic reaction I'm going to make it worth it. And it was 100% worth it. I scarfed all of it down! No looking back Drinks are FABULOUS! I have seen soooo many varieties of soda! I had a ginger beer from a "microbrew" in New Hampshire. Its recipe boasts of being 152 years old. If you are near 35th Ave and Cactus stop by here! read more

I'm not sure as to the reason behind the high rating for this organization, but IMHO, the food was fairly average. A letter grade of C-. The fries had a sweet aftertaste, which for not being sweet potato fries was strange. The portion for the standard combo fries is rather large and would have been a plus if not for their sweetness. The burger itself was not particularly memorable, with its blending of flavors advertised (gyro double burger) into one creamy greesy taste. The soda choices however are large and encompassing so I'd your not a fan of Pepsi products, you've got choices. P. S. An item that did concern me was the cooks decision to take their smoke break at the kitchen door at front of the store. Eye contact was made along with a wiff of Tabacco when I walked in, followed by the uneasiness of watching the same cook enter the kitchen area while I was placing my order. I will not speculate if the cook had washed their hands or not, or whether they were the only cook on duty, but there was no sink in view of the front counter that was used upon their re-entry. read more

Great food! We love the specials, anything I get I am never disappointed! Sometimes my kids and I will just go in for the large variety of bottled sodas they have. Friendly staff, they always have a smile on their faces. I'm in there so often they know me by name. A+ all the way! read more

This place is REDIC!!!! Love the food ate the afterburner burger. Service was great lots of help and the food was on our table in minutes. Lots of choices would comeback again for sure. read more

Burgers were good. The sides are great. Skip the fries and get the zucchini or mushrooms. Next time I'm going to have to dig into their selection of Root Beers... Can't wait! read more

I came here again with my wife for dinner. She had a chicken sandwich with a teriyaki pineapple sauce that was absolutely delicious. I did the Mexican hot dog again. Once again I was reminded why this place is so highly recommended. The food was amazing, the fries have gotten much much better too! Keep it up Rocket Burger! I can't wait until next time. There's just so much good stuff on the menu that I think I'll be busy trying something new on each visit for a long time to come. read more

Editing my review for this place. Originally gave them 4/5 stars after my first visit because you need to buy two of their hotdogs to fill up and now having gone there many times, I feel stupid for ever giving such a place only 4 stars when it clearly deserves 5. The hotdogs, while delicious, are the least interesting thing on the menu (although I recommend this place if you're in the mood for a gourmet hotdog). Their burgers however, are PHENOMENAL! In n' Out has NOTHING on this place (and I love In n' Out). There are a bunch to choose from, reasonably priced and so full of flavor they can only be described as MIND BLOWING. The fries are the best I've ever had as well, seasoned to perfection and cooked just right, just like their burgers. Definitely the best burger place I've ever been too in my entire life. Also, they have a gigantic wall full of designer soda's from all around the world, I believe they are only $2 a pop (no pun intended) or $1 upgrade onto a combo meal. All in all, if you live in Phoenix you are blessed to be able to eat here on a regular basis, if you are passing through or here temporarily it is an experience you'll never forget. read more

Pretty good spot. Love that they have so many drinks available - that's the real reason for the stars. The food was just okay, nothing too exciting. We will be back again. read more

I just tried Rocket Burger for the first time after reading some great things on here, but it didn't quite match my expectations. The main reason that I think this place is rated too high is that the food is just average. The sauce on the burger is nice, but there is nothing else really special about the burger and the fries are kind of lousy. The service however is pretty good. The guys working here are certainly friendly, so I am all for supporting an independent location like this. The various sodas they have here are cool to look at, but a little overwhelming. I couldn't figure out what to get or what was supposed to be good, so I just stuck with a regular fountain Pepsi. The location of the place is not very good and it looks more like a convenient store than a restaurant. That was one thing I didn't like about eating here. It was an alright experience on the whole though. read more

This place offers so many options! Walk in see a lot of sodas and interesting drinks to find in one place. The food is yummy. Owner is nice. read more

After going to SmashBurger and not getting my burger smashed, I was not surprised when the burgers here were not actually made out of rockets. Interstellar is one of my favorite movies of all time and I wanted to feel like Matthew McConaughey blasting off into space as I ate. Unfortunately, my burger made me feel more like Anne Hathaway, which is weird because I've never been in love with Captain Edmunds, although I do agree that his planet shows the most promise. Still it was a pretty decent burger. The atmosphere makes me feel like I'd traveled back in time about 50 years. This is, of course, possible with the help of some 4th dimensional beings, AKA ourselves in the future. If I could travel back in time to the day I ate at Rocket Burger, I would order another burger. read more

I know many people like this place but I am just telling my experience. I was not impressed at all. We got the Afterburner burger and cali burger, fries and onion rings. We were the only people in the place and all our food was luke warm or room temprature. The patties were very thin and thinking I would get pickled jalapenos on my burger they were actually raw. Every burger place I have been has never had raw jalapenos - maybe I should have asked or maybe they shoul post they are raw. The onion rings batter was not even batter it tasted more like cornmeal and they were room temperature - should be hot. The buns were hard and not soft at all. Our first time is our last time there. Sorry but very poor food quality. read more

Oh man, I love this place. Crazy good burgers AMAZING fries and the soda selection is too awesome.
