    Just got done doing the river kayak tour and saw this place just down the way. Why not? Loved the location being on the waterway, but can only say it was ok. We were handed a menu and shown us to a seat when it was not necessary as there is a very large menu on the wall by the ordering registers. Fast and friendly staff. Our meals were delivered to our table in reasonable time. Self-service sodas with NO ICE. Our hamburgers were decent size and good taste. Fries were generous portions. The food was decent, but there was something missing..the ambiance was awkward. A diner without music is just a mood-killer!

    Rockets it's a sort if off shoot of Eddie rockets, the main difference is a smaller menu they have it set up so they can get food out really quick. Just little things like you get 2 skinny beef pattys instead of the one large one the the burgers. This means the line actually moves really quick a lunch times. The food dosnt feel or look as greasy as a normal Eddie rockets either. And the chips are these new crinkled chips which are amazing! They alas do great sweet potato fires as well now which are lovely again. The building it's in it's lovely ! As more of a modern feel but still a little bit if that 60s flare eddies are known for. One if the best and worst features of the place is the big glass wall that runs the whole liffey side of the place which gives a fantastic view to check out while you eat, you see the small boats go up and down the river, the gorgeous Samuel Beckett bridge, all is good and as luck would have the sun breaks out as well .... But no not good luck ... Yes views are amazing but the first lick of sunshine and the whole wall turn into a giant magnifying glass !! The sun beat down your face hard the temperature suddenly shoots to what feels like 25 degrees, like eating in a green house! So yeah if your looking for a quick burger and chips just maybe give it a miss in the sunny days :)

    For some reason I keep coming back for more. Especially for those cheese and garlic chips. Eddie Rocket is very handy thanks to the opening hours, and thanks to the fact that they are serving alcohol.

    This place was across the street from our hotel and it was quick and convenient. The food and shakes were good.

    Well, flipping burgers is no rocket science (pun intended). What you get here is pretty straight forward stuff at decent prices.

    I used to love Eddie Rocket's. Their burgers and chicken wings were, at one point my favourite…read morefoods. More recently, Eddie's has really gone down hill. They have started charging ridiculous prices and the quality of the food has gone way way down. We dropped into the Eddie Rocket's on Parnell st for an impromptu pig out. We ordered ad it took them about 35 minutes for them to finally bring the food. We could see my burger under the hot lamps for about 15 of those minutes The Jalapeno Popper at one point was the pinnacle of burgers in Ireland for me. Lots of peppers, cheese, sour cream on a lash of hot sauce. What I got this time was kind of a sloppy mess (see picture). Most of the jalapenos fell out the back of the burger. My girlfriend's veggie burger was really dry. She used to love these but she was left very disappointed. All in all Eddie's was once a fantastic burger spot. Now they over charge for burgers that are not as good as they once were.

    Over in Philly there was Johnnie Rockets, a suspiciously similar retro burger joint chromed and…read morered-pleathered and smelling rather satisfyingly of chip fat and meat. Here it's Eddie Rockets and there's nowhere quite like Parnell Street's burger joint for pre-movie munchies. It's pricey here in ways no establishment calling itself a diner should ever be - which is why Hubby Himself often pays - with two burgers, fries, onion rings, milkshake and diet coke (the lynchpin in weight gain) coming to about 30 yo-yos. ...For that money you could get a gorgeous Indian dinner form Bombay Pantry, fill the tank for a VW Lupo or buy a pre-worn hipster top from Urban Outfitters. Here, it's greasy spoon goodness. The service is prompt, the wait-staff efficient but quiet, and when your deep-fried side order isn't to your liking, they'll replace or refund without fighting (it really does happen in Ireland). And with a second entrance that leads out to the Cineworld complex and theatre it makes dinner and a movie easier than ever.

Saw a bunch of construction workers through the window and knew it had to be a solid local spot with good bang for your buck. Physical Exam: Food - Had a full Irish and a breakfast sandwich. When I see we were satisfied, we were SATISFIED. Toast was toasty, beans were bean, shrooms were shroomy, meats were meaty. And that sandwich... *chef's kiss* Service - A true mom and pop run by what looks like a family. Simple, friendly, no complaints here. Ambiance - A hole in the wall, local joint, mom and pop, no frills. Grab your quick breakfast, grab your coffee, go on your merry way. Maybe the ventilation could've been better but I'm just nitpicking. Assessment/Plan: If you're trying to find something quick, affordable, and satiating, this is the spot. Can't recommend it enough. Maybe a little out of the way if you're not staying nearby.

    My partner and I went here for lunch today after a long day of walking around Dublin. We are…read moreAmerican and wanted to see their take on American diner food. When we walked in we were immediately greeted and seated in a booth. We ordered food a few minutes later. I got the chicken tender basket and a Ferrero Rocher shake, and my partner got the BLT basket and a Kinder Bueno shake. We also got the mac and cheese bites just to see how they were. The chicken tenders were hot but very small. The fries were alright but a little disappointing - something I experience in diners with some degree of frequency in the states, so I guess you could call this a point for accuracy? The BLT sliders were fine, nothing to write home about. The mac and cheese bites tasted like cafeteria mac that was battered and fried. Again, nothing special. The shakes were good but a bit watery - I like my shakes to be more creamy and thick. The food overall was lacking salt (and seasoning overall) and I saw other people putting salt and pepper all over their food too so I know it wasn't a me thing. The bathrooms weren't great. They were in the basement down a long hallway. They weren't very clean and the doors on the stalls were both broken and stuck on engaged, so you couldn't lock them and you couldn't tell if someone was in one without knocking. I felt uncomfortable the whole time I was in there and couldn't wait to get back out. The restaurant itself was an average level of cleanliness. The floors were dirty but it was a very rainy day so I could forgive that. The booths weren't in great condition - some had tears that originated from cracked vinyl. The staff seemed friendly enough but I did catch two of them talking about another table in another language. I didn't speak the language but they were blatantly looking at the table and pointing with their eyes. It made me feel a bit bad on behalf of that table - they were right behind us and hadn't done anything wrong. Overall this place is just alright. It's fine if you're starving and don't really care what you eat or if it's any good, but if you want a meal you will enjoy and remember then try a pub across the river instead.

Hah! It does say 'Eat and go!' on their caps, but that is what I like to do anyway - no prob! The Clonakilty burger has beef, bacon, a fried egg, and even hash-browns! It is huge, but manageable - I ate every bite and licked my fingers! Most burgers with fried eggs are really messy, from the runny yolks - but this egg was cooked hard enough so that it didn't make a mess. Big improvement! The Cheesy Chicken burger was also good. The Bacon & Cheese Fries were decent; thick bacon bits were excellent, but the gooey cheeze-whiz style cheese lowered their delight-factor. Real grated cheese would've been much better. Tasty ice cream desserts, and fair prices, in a clean chrome diner. Restrooms downstairs were very clean. We liked it!
