Eddie Rocket's is popular, and quite rightly so. But if you want to sit down and relax for a while you might want to avoid the daylight hours and early evenings. Then the place is often frequented by Ireland's youth, apparently many of the hyperactive persuasion. Which can be a trying experience unless you bring your own kids.
It is best to pick a quieter time and choose from the simple menu, concentrating on burgers and fries. Which will be served wrapped in greasepaper and be simply dumped on your table. Fingerfood.
If you don't mind this uncomplicated arrangement, you’ll find that the burgers are tasty and filling. And the extras as described - the Atomic Burger will really nuke your tastebuds and the garlic fries will ensure you some private space in even the most crowded cinema. Wash it down with a chocolate soda. These are to die for and almost a meal on their own.
One word of warning, though: prices!
Eddie Rocket's is not overly expensive per se, but you will get a burger meal cheaper at the golden arches. In fact you order all parts of your meal separately, easily adding up a larger bill than you intended to. It is worth it, but if you are on a budget ... at least avoid late-night dinig here, a surcharge to cover staff costs will be charged.
Note: As this is a general review of a chain of restaurants individual restaurants may provide better or worse service!
