Eddie Rocket’s

Food is ok but way over priced… service only ok… the restaurant a bit dirty, smelled of deep fat fryer and is dire need of a face lift… don’t think I’ll be back any time son

Wow, seriously poor service.
Grouchy waitress who sneered at me when I didn’t want chips with my burger, which was at best average, and after El Monkey had ordered a desert and was waiting for it, came to our table and asked us to vacate it and sit at the counter so she could seat a group at the table she had put us at.
Also the place was freezing and I had to keep my coat and scarf on through out!
Avoid, I had a less than great experience here last time but this is the final straw, never again!

Went here for lunch with some colleagues last Monday and had a completely different experience to the previous visit. Waitress who was working really didn’t care about us and paid us no attention at all which was disappointing. We sat in view of the kitchen and watched the chef on his phone and touching food without washing his hands.
The food was fine I will say but the service destroyed my experience. The defining moment was when my colleague asked the waitress for a double macchiato to be told they only did latte, cappuccino and Americano… And after explaining to her what we had asked for was we didn’t see her again. I really hope this is a once off as this time really damaged my view of them

eddie rockets is a fantastic place to go to with a large party where you can be loud and wild.
i like being loud and wild.

Hamburgers, fries and chicken wings a plenty this Rathmines branch of the massive Eddie Rockets chain maintains all the joviality and novelty we have come to find irresistible about this appealing fast-​food institution. ‘The’ prototypical American Diner, the moment you walk in you are instantaneously transported back to the thrilling days of Grease Lightning, retro juke boxes, Elvis quiffs and 1950s baseball — all of the archetypal characteristics of which Eddie Rockets manipulates to create its novelty décor. I first started going there with my friends for munchie food after we finished a session at Murphy’s pub across the road — Eddie’s can be open as late as 4am some nights and so perfect for the crowd returning from a night out who are looking to devour as much fast food as possible to soak up their evening’s alcohol consumption. On these occasions I have often gone for ‘The Atomic’, topped with chili sauce and jalapenos — so hot it will, as the title suggests, blow you away! For € 7.45 it is not a cheap outing, especially when you have to buy any chips or salad separately as well as a drink, and if you eat there after midnight a 10% ‘late night’ charge is added. At € 5.15 the Bacon and Cheese Fries satisfy the taste buds like nothing else after a heavy night, but makes a sizeable dent in your wallet in the process. Nevertheless, the more I went there under these late night circumstances the more fond of Eddie’s I became, so much so that friends and I used to drop in for an Oreo Cookie Malt if we were shopping in Rathmines or were making our way towards the city centre. This malt really is as devilish and abounding as it sounds — a rich treat in the afternoon, big enough to be shared between two, this really is the perfect indulgence when you want to take a break.
Note: For 20c a go you can select a song to be played over the main speakers via the mini jukebox on each table — Beach Boys ‘Good Vibrations’ was often the one I went for.

This Eddie Rockets has the usual stuff — burgers, chicken wings, hot dogs, cheese fries. All the kind of bad-​for-​you food you’d expect!
It’s located right in the heart of Rathmines village so is really central, but parking around there is a bit of a nightmare. It’s mostly on street parking, so you might have to park a little bit away and walk down… I guess that’s a good thing though — it’ll burn off some calories!
I always found the staff in here nice but it’s hard to say really — there’s always been a huge turnover here. The food is always up to par though, so if you like Eddies, the Rathmines venue does not disappoint.

I love this Eddie Rockets and it has been here for years. I even had a teenage birthday here once and I loved it!
It is great for groups and birthday parties, they supply cake, desserts with candles and sparklers and all the coke floats and milk shakes are great for kids!
Really great atmosphere too with the Juke Boxes and up beat staff, but this branch sometimes gets over run with school kids on Thursday and Fridays after school!
