Six years have passed since my last review, I have gone a few times and tried other foods, today was the hot dog with garlic aioli and raw onion. The owner is who serves up the delicious food and she laughed saying she had never heard of anyone putting aioli on their dog, but she has (so she said) put it on her meal with sauerkraut. Gotta love it! P.S. The dog was awesome! read more

I had higher hopes based on the reviews. This is definitely not the place to quickly grab some food. It took about 15 minutes to get my order of a hot dog and Cuban sandwich. The hot dog was tasty but on the small side for the price. The braised bacon on my sandwich almost tasted like pastrami. Very greasy and salty and I didn't enjoy the strongly smoked flavor. It changed the flavor profile to the point where it didn't remind me of a Cuban sandwich. I wish they'd still had salt potatoes because I'd have loved to try them. If I ate here again, I'd probably try a burger or stick to the hot dog. read more

One of my favorite burgers on planet earth! My go to is the build your own burger with american cheese, rocket sauce, caramelized onions, and lettuce! And my day is complete! Yummmm!! read more

I saw Rocket Fine Street Food (food truck) at Farm Fresh RI a couple of times and I wanted to give it a try today. There are different choices for burgers, hotdogs, and pork belly. Their menu has very unique names. I had the Space Cowboy burger which has caramelized onion, coffee bbq sauce, and jalapeno relish. It was packed with flavors and I enjoyed every single bite. I thought it would have a little kick because of the jalapeno relish, but the bbq sauce was more powerful. My husband had the Vulcan which has extra-thick hickory-smoked braised bacon, caramelized onion, and rocket sauce. He said the bacon was the best he ever had. I would definitely come back and try other items on the menu. read more

My wife and I love Rocket. It's our go to at the Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings. Our favorite is the egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. It is simply the best! The staff is very friendly and accommodating. read more

PHENOMENAL. Genuinely can't say enough good things. We found them at Phantom Farms in Cumberland and wow... the burgers just melted in our mouths. We ordered the Roswell, which was the perfect amount of heat, and the Vulcan which had perfect caramelized onions (add the Vermont cheddar cheese for extra goodness). It was an incredible meal! The owner/operator was lovely. Wait time was super short and reasonable, about 10-15 minutes. Parked by Phantom farms was perfect. Great day!! read more

Update: How does Rocket just keep getting better?!?! Always delicious and served with a smile from Patricia. Through all my various diets and allergies, Rocket has been my stable go-to. At times, this has been the only place I can eat outside of my own home. How lucky am I that it happens to be the best burgers I've ever eaten? Thank youuuuuuuu!!! :-D read more

This is the place! You just need to find where they are for a great meal. Great food truck! I have had a number of items and each one has been great! One of the best breakfast items I have had is their Flying Saucer, Fried Egg and Pork Belly over Polenta. The flavor combo is really out of this world. The yolk mixed with the polenta is awesome. I have also tried their Breakfast Sandwiches which are great. The eggs are always properly cooked and the meats tasty and the English Muffins are grilled up right. The burgers, oh, the burgers! So far I have had The Vulcan (bacon and caramelized onions) and The Roswell (spicy green chili sauce, grilled onions and Vermont cheddar). Both burgers cooked to the right temp and the flavor profiles for both were outstanding. Next up for me is The Ron Swanson (fried egg and bacon). read more

Patricia and her team were outstanding! From start to finish, Rocket Fine Street Food was amazing. They served a large group for a college graduation block party. She made the planning easy, the day of logistics were great and most importantly the food was outstanding. Everyone at the party raved about Rocket! Thank you for making a special occasion seamless and memorable. read more

Note: The co reviewer and I rate the quality, value, and service FOR THE TYPE of establishment we are going to, not against some Michelin award winning restaurant etc. I was able to get to the Rocket truck today in time to enjoy the most delicious burgers in the state! I not only rate them 5 stars but I prefer their burgers to any burgers I have had anywhere including any restaurants. Today Joe made two amazing burgers with cheese chopped over a bed of their salt and BUTTER potatoes and it was a glorious experience for my mouth! I don't care if there's a line, inclement weather, pandemic, etc if you see the truck stop whatever you are doing and try something from their menu. Whatever you were doing won't matter anymore! read more

One hell of a hot dog! Unfortunately I ran into them on a night where they were out of hamburgers (to be fair it was 20 mins to closing time for the week). The bun was grilled perfectly, the hot dog had some snap to it. I think their homemade toppings bring things altogether, whatever the various relishes or "sauces" are there, make sure you dress your hot dog up good. Don't go with straight up ketchup. Whatever I got on mine was AMAZING. Service wasn't moving very fast and everything about the front persons body language and actual language told me they were ready to get the hell out of there and close up. Wasn't a very friendly experience. We all have our days, long and hot ones in a food truck can't be fun. I will come back for a hamburger next time I promise and update the review when it's not 20 minutes before closing time. I can tell by the reviews this is a great place and it was just the timing. See you soon Rocket Food Truck! If your burgers are half as good as the dogs, we're going to be good friends. read more

Finally got my butt over to try this food truck!! The fact that they were right in Pawtucket at the Hope Artist Villages' Farmers Market on this gorgeous Saturday morning, made this a complete no-brainer!! It was early (10:30 AM or so) so I did consider ordering a breakfast sandwich - however, the description of the "Space Cowboy" burger totally got me having a cheeseburger for breakfast! This was a 100% black angus beef burger with choice of cheese (cheddar or American), coffee BBQ sauce, Caramelized onions and a Jalapeño relish. Wow, that is one damn good burger!!! The relish gave it just enough heat without being overbearing and went perfectly with the onions and BBQ sauce. I would definitely order this again! My breakfast companion had the Parisienne burger and enjoyed it. He did mention that the garlic aioli did not come through as he had expected / as described. But still a solid burger. I ordered a side of salt potatoes (local potatoes boiled in a salty brine with optional drawn butter) and they were good. Nothing crazy - just tasty potatoes in a cute little take out box! The woman at the truck window was very friendly and helpful with any menu questions. The quality of the foods they use is top notch and locally sourced (whenever possible) so expect to pay a little more but I found it to be worth every penny for these happy tastebuds!! Why did I wait so long to try this place?! ...gotta come back and try the breakfast items some day soon!! read more

I had the gorilla pork belly sandwhich and boy was it amazing. They gave me extra caution when I ordered it saying it was extremely spicy (honestly it really wasn't that spicy - I didn't even need to take a break while eating it). It was so good though! I am hands down reccomending this food truck to all my local friends. 10/10 delicious. If you really enjoy spicy foods this won't feel spicy. But it will be delicious! read more

This is a traveling food truck and boy am I glad it was where I was last night. The scent of hamburgers and onions wafted from the truck. It drew me in. Service was friendly and my burger was delicious. It was loaded with bacon and gooey and cheesy. If you ever see this truck Where you are then it's a must try. read more

I heard great things about this place and couldn't wait to try it- worth the wait!!! The burger was wonderful! A greasy, cheesy, oniony masterpiece! I cant wait until next Saturday to have them again at the Hope St farmers market. A must try! read more

Rocket Fine Street Food - Cheese, onions, garlic aioli - New American Near Me

This was my first encounter with Rocket. I was excited to try it....I'd heard so many good things about it... I was not disappointed. I had the Ron Swanson (slider with onions, thick delicious bacon, and fried egg). It was SO GOOD !! OMG. I would get that one again and again....any time. My BF got the Parisienne (The Parisienne (burger with caramelized onions and gruyere), which I liked OK, but not as good as mine. We also shared the Mac n Cheese...it was good but not great...kind of dry, kind of OK..bland.... so ..so.. Would stand in line again...anywhere I see this truck parked !!! LOL.. read more

In these dire days of Covid19, this food truck rises to the occasion of providing a a respite from cooking at home. Had two burgers this evening, enjoyed from the privacy of our car while looking at the lovely view from the pedestrian bridge. It was so nice to get out and enjoy a delicious repast. Everything was hot, fresh and most importantly, followed all of the guidelines for social distancing and sanitation. Thank you for having the courage and discipline to provide such a great product read more

Wow. Straight up, the burger I had from Rocket today might be my favorite burger I've ever had. I had walked by Rocket a bunch of times before on Waterman St. and at various area events (and always thought it smelled amazing), but never stopped to order because of various reasons like I'd just eaten, or I was in a rush. Well, today the stars aligned and I finally walked by them on Waterman when I was super hungry for lunch, and now I'm wishing I'd been seeking them out all along! I enjoyed this burger more than most of the delicious fast food burgers I've had, including Shake Shack, In N Out, etc. It was that outstanding. I ordered the Parisienne and it was basically perfect - crispy like one of my beloved butterburgers from Culver's (I'm a Midwesterner), but thicker and a bit more substantial - more like the size of a Five Guys burger. The meat was delicious, as were the caramelized onions, gruyere cheese, and aioli. Even the bun was good. And it had the perfect amount of salt. The portion was filling and a good value for the quality of the ingredients. I could practically have eaten another one right then and there. Now I am definitely going to try to stop by Rocket more often to try all their tasty toppings combos - the ones with bacon sounded delicious. read more

I don't usually post reviews but I had to about this one! Just tried Rocket Fine Street food truck. I had the Parisienne burger.....absolutely delicious!! It was messy but it didn't matter. The perfect thickness of the meat, super meltiness of the gruyere and the onions and aioli...I want another one!!!! I'll be back! Thank you! read more

One of the best food trucks I've tried. They showed up in downtown providence on a semi rainy Thursday. They had tasty burgers but the potato salad was gross n very petite. Just so you know the burgers are not sharing size. They had cool little bottled sodas. Root beer was good but the black cherry tasted like medicine. They say food trucks start at 1130 but they didn't open their windows until after 12. I would recommend the parking meters vs overpriced parking spots. read more

The dogs from this "streatery" appeal to my darkest urges...the force is strong with this food truck. Delicious options (stalk-worthy on social media to track them down) for delighting in their inventive, yet comforting food on the go. The Rocket is a pleasure station for my tastebuds with my buds. It absolutely rocks. read more

Careful with this one... they must sprinkle their egg breakfast sandwich with pixie dust because this sandwich is amazing!

Finally! I've been meaning to try one of the food trucks that are frequently parked in the heart of Brown's campus along Waterman Street. Since it's been quite chilly out lately, there was only one other food truck out in addition to Rocket. I had half of the Roswell burger and a few salt potatoes. If I were to judge Rocket solely based off of their salt potatoes, I would have likely given them only 2 stars. They were definitely not what I expected. They are whole, small potatoes that aren't really that crunchy (just soft) and drenched in butter. Not my favorite thing in the world. But that burger sure was tasty! The meat is thick, juicy, and very flavorful. The Vermont cheddar that they use is incredibly strong (a good thing!) and keep in mind that the green chile sauce does have a spicy kick to it. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with Rocket. If I somehow forgot my daily lunch sandwich, I would not mind stopping by for a quick, tasty, relatively affordable lunch. They have an extensive variety of weird and fun burgers, hot dogs, and other sandwiches that all sound delicious. Not bad, Rocket! read more

Rocket Fine Street Food - Salt potatoes drenched in butter - New American Near Me

Honestly the best burger I've ever had. I ordered the Parisienne and added bacon. OMG. Drool!!!! Soooo good. Only thing I wish was that they made house fries. They offer potato chips, which are bagged but very delicious, from a place called Fox Family up in Maine. I would definitely recommend. read more

Living in Brooklyn, we know food trucks. Really well. Rocket is right up there with a fun sci-fi nerd themed truck for burgers, dogs, and tasty sides. We enjoyed the Star Wars-themed dogs with a side of Mac and cheese with some local Rhode Island soda. Food was tasty, creative, and hit the spot while we shopped at the Providence flea market. Hope all the best for this unique truck, and may the force be with them. read more

Rocket Fine Street Food - Dogs Mac and soda a good lunch it makes. - New American Near Me

Let me tell you something about this god-damn food truck and the people inside it. The burgers are the best in Providence. Delicious, local, flavorful as all hell. Ordering can be slow if it's busy, but if you have the time, it's worth the wait. If they happen to be making chili, buy the chili. Texas-style all meat, and it's delicious. Everything is good. Oh my god I am salivating right now. But more than the food being amazing, the people who run this truck are awesome. Warm, friendly, really excellent with keeping-up on internet social appearances. One time I was incredibly drunk after ten o'clock, found their closed truck outside of the Salon, and after I tweeted sadly about it being closed, they opened up long enough to feed me mac and cheese and chili. Who does that? Awesome people do that. People who care about their customers as much as their food. Seriously: the best burgers in Providence come from a truck. Even their veggie burgers are good. Don't doubt it until you try it. read more

Food trucks are awesome. Especially those that make it worth it for me hang out in Kennedy Plaza. On a beautiful sunny weekday, I decided to check out Rocket Fine Street Food for something new. The food from Rocket is pretty decent. I went with a burger that had a Sriacha sauce and it was cooked well and juicy. Couldn't really taste the Sriacha but I could seriously drink that stuff. My biggest gripe with this place is that it takes so long to get your food. I was lucky to not have to be back at the office but my friends did and we really didn't have too much time to enjoy the meal. The menu options are good and I like that they had products from local vendors but that wait time is really inexcusable. The point of a food truck is to grab and go and that is something that Rocket needs to work on. I'd try this place again but not when I'm in a hurry. read more

If you have an hour for lunch, and don't mind spending half of that time waiting for your food. Okay, order from Rocket. Took forever, not going again. Burger was alright, but nothing to lose my mind over. read more

We had two food trucks for a customer appreciation day. We only had one last time and the lines for our customers were crazy. Rocket and Mama Kim's were the two trucks we hired. I started with Mama Kim's as I was intrigued by the Korean BBQ. After letting my gut settle from the filling sliders from MK's I decided to grab a burger from Rocket. I will say this was one of the best burgers I've had in a while. I didn't have them do anything special, just a cheeseburger with ketchup. The meat quality was incredible and the cheese was perfectly melted. Give this truck and try and you'll be happy! read more

Food has been consistently good and the woman who usually serves me is always nice and friendly. I love the mac & cheese as well as the burgers (as everyone else has raved about as well). It's always nice to try a new spin on a classic, and with Rocket's relishes and sauces, you get just that. read more

So I tried this food truck out. I haven't tried many but this truck might change my mind alittle. I simply ordered a hot dog. I must say the price was high for a hot dog, but it turned out to be the best hot dog I have ever had. Might sound strange but wow. Would give five stars if the price was a little lower read more

This review is based only on their breakfast sandwich. I love their sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich so much, I can't seem to order anything else. So this review is just for that - I can't comment on anything else on the menu! This sandwich is basically perfect. I've lived in NYC, unofficial capital of the hangover ham, egg, and cheese on a roll from a corner deli, so I've had more than my fair share of these sandwiches. Rocket makes an amazing one. Their ingredients are artisanal/free trade/organic/whatever the latest buzzword for fancy and high quality. If they have the boar sausage, get it with that patty, as its amazing. They will cook the egg any way you want, but I like mine softish with a runny yolk. The roll is a smooshy potato roll. It can get a bit messy, but definitely worth it! read more

I'm actually a HUGE fan of Rocket--so much so that I'm having them cater a short picnic hour at my wedding. In a town like Providence that already has a renowned slider enterprise (*cough* Harry's *cough*), it's pretty ballsy to set up shop, particularly in the form of a truck. But Rocket not only has extremely fresh and organic ingredients, they cook their sliders to a perfect texture and mix them with some crazy time toppings. I particularly enjoy sliders with an egg on top. I've had BURGERS with egg, but when it's only ONE egg, the actual impact of the egg on say, an 8 oz burger is just overpowered by everything else. On a slider-sized burgery, the egg is ingenious. They also have really tasty sauces--some might say, aioli--and the perfect mix of exotic and classic. Finally, I have to take a moment to comment on the mac and cheese. Rocket has BRILLIANT mac and cheese. The mac is in the 3 cheese combo that saturates each bite with that rich heaviness, albeit soft finish. I'm a huge Rocket fan. Take me to the moon anytime. read more

Okay, so I'm a pescaterian (meaning I eat veggies and fish for those who don't know) but about five times a year I cheat and have a hot dog because veggie dogs don't even come close. (They're like rubbery tofu) Four of the five times I meat cheat, I go to Rocket because their hot dogs are the best, and if you're going to cheat, you want the best. (That should be their slogan: We turn vegetarians to the meat side.) Their newest addition, the Boba Fett, is my latest obsession. It's a spicy dog with hot mustard, peppers and a spicy Fox Point Pickle. You must try. I've already had two and it's not even summer yet! The people who own it/ work it are also the nicest people I've ever met. My hubby is a frequenter, and they know his order by heart. And just because I use it as my cheat station, I don't have to. They also make two incredible veggie burgers. (But I say go for the dogs) read more

The whole food truck deal made it hard to find, and the hours are limited... but I totally get why now. Went with a few people to a farmer's market where they were on site, and the Hot dogs are unlike any I have ever had. They were good, but they were so... light. I could totally see a scenario where late night a drunken pair puts away like a dozen of these things. Fortunately... they aren't open all that late. A good move if you are in Prov, and feeling some street meat. read more

Rocket Fine Street Food - New American Near Me

Had the truck recently for a party. Awesome to deal with. Friendly and fairly priced. Food was excellent

Really, really good food truck. Stopped by today on my way to work. Grabbed a couple of burgers and a Yacht Club black cherry. Absolutely did not disappoint. A nice afternoon lunch, sitting in the park in the sunshine, watching the peeps of Providence wander by. It was really, really great to end my morning that way. I'm with everyone here...these guys do a great job. One of the best burgers around. And the owners are very nice and welcoming. Count me as a fan. Gotta grab a couple more next time I'm able to do so! read more

Holy cow! the best food truck experience in the state, Burgers, hot dogs, pork belly, egg sandwiches, polenta, salt potatoes, mac and cheese,,,, everything I have ever tried has been simply perfect. Locally and thoughtfully sourced menu really hits the spot, I find I get a little cranky if I haven't had a Rocket fix in a while. Find them out and about during the week, or better yet, book them for a private party and don't forget to invite me! read more

Delicious? - yes Rocket-fast service? - nope We were attending a craft fair at the Hope Artiste Village when we felt the deep rumblings of hunger. Fortunate for us, this spiffy food truck was parked outside the entrance (even more fortunate: there was no line). The specials board baosted both an angus slider AND a beet slider with aoili - yes: treats for both Carni & Herbi of the Vore family! When we got up to the window they seemingly perturbed young lady stated that they were out of the beet burger, so we ordered the sole angus (t nearly 5$) and left it at that. Diner's Dictionary: sldr: a small sandwich, typically around 3"diameter, served in a bun. The term primarily refers to small hamburgers, but can also cover any small sandwich served on a slider roll. Sliders can be served as an hors d'œuvre/appetizer, amuse-bouche, or entrée. As per above definition...I do NOT understand how it takes 15minutes to make a SINGLE "fast food" food truck slider to satisfy a one-person-long line. After the long wait, the anticipation for quality was high. "Burger up!" "Thanks, have a good one" [bite - chew] "How is it?" "Ehh it's OK, I've had better." Rocket, I'll try you again some other time I'm sure. When that time comes, I hope your service and flavor reflect time time and effort you've put into your spiffy shiny truck and your appetizing menu. read more
