Eddie's Fries or Chips if you will

Help! What's the seasoning on Eddie Rockets chips. It's driving me mad! Maybe if I didn't look so cool smoking I'd have taste buds left alive!

Dont think so. I have paprika in a tin here and its mank. But i like eddie rockets chips. I dunno.

Asmodean

Dunno about their chips but I'm pretty sure their cheese is made out of plastic.

Mr.David

Ya I think its just paprika too.

I always found their chips a bit of a fail tbh in comparison with the burgers.

I agree. I pass the one on Wexford/Camden St most days and i've never seen more than a couple people in it.

I ordered it in. Decadent. that's my Saturday night out! I'm so broke it doesn't even matter anymore.

Thanks guys, paprika seems to be the opinion here too... Its yummy!

Mc donalds double cheeseburger (€2) beats eddie rocket cheez pleeze (€7) any day

It's paprika alright. Really makes about a tiny portion of chips worth a fiver.

I dunno how that place stays open to be honest.

Mr.David

Take a pinch of pre celtic tiger broken dreams. Grind in a pestle and mortar, sprinkle on your chips et voila.

My burger had bacon, smoked cheese, onion rings, pickle, chutney and a big ground beef burger... MMMMMMM I agree it's expensive but I'm treating myself to a nice night in with the OH.

even if you bought two and put them together to make it the same size you still up €3

ronano

only good thing in eddies is the malts and even then only the o'connell street one is decent

Defo paprika.

Fajitas!

Paprika and salt. Lots of both.

The one in dubdrum had a deal few weeks ago, mite still be going on.
Any burger bar the double burger, chips and a drink or shake/malt all for a tenner...

Decent enough offer!

X-Calibre

Their chips with melted cheese has to be the most disappointing thing I've ever had... Can that stuff even be classified as cheese??

super_furry

They actually get that stuff in as powder and add water to it.

Eddie's = Expensive but not too expensive...worth it on most things

Now TGI ****in Friday's...Shower of Pricks.

God that's weird. I was actually thinking this to myself earlier today. Paprika doesn't really taste like Eddie Rockets chips, but I'd have to try it.

The breakfast is good. Everything cooked perfectly.

I concur. Tis been a few years since I had it though.

tallus

I call it "Empty Pockets" as it is a bit expensive, but I have to say I do like the food there.

The Chicken Caesar Salad is nice and with a cup of tea costs around 10.25.

peepeep

It's paprika on their chips, probably the smoked variety (there are three types of paprika; smoked, sweet and spicy). Maybe try cooking with all three types until you find the one you like. Then bring them to my house.

RATM

Eddie Shockers more like.

Gourmet Burger Kitchen ftw, only €5 for a top quality burger in Temple Bar b4 5pm every day.

kowloon

The prices are shocking, but they are nicer than most fast food places.
Can't beat a kebab from Iskanders or Zaytoon though.
(I heard Iskanders burnt down, is this true?)

Yes, it was closed down for a few weeks but it was open when I drove past there last week.

curry-muff

Never been to this place of imfamosity but paprika is what everyone puts on twisty/curly fries so if they taste like that, im guessing thats what it is

Táck

eddie rockets are a bit like marlboro lights, ie; makes irish people feel better about themselves for not opting for McD's or Johnny Blues whilst telling themselves they wont get heart disease / cancer.

Eddie Rockets is a rip off, but you just can't beat their burger sauce... mmmmmmmmm:D

For those who remember the product from the 80's, the seasoning on Eddie's fries is actually an updated form of 'Chip-Mate', which was a combo of paprika, salt & vinegar crystals.

I have stuff from The Spice Shop (www.thespiceshop.co.uk) always have it on me chips


The ingredients to it are as follows:

- ground celery seeds
- paprika
- caraway pepper
- a hint of chili
- sea salt

It's just mayonase and American mustard mixed.

I didn't know you could order in Empty Pockets

Damn. Now I've a craving for an Oreos milkshake.

Those things are fantastic!!

I for one love Eddie's.

The music is cool and the food is always very hot and yummy. Love the chilli fries and chocolate malts.
+1 for the chicken caesar salad too- tasty!
Staff are usually in good form.

And I like that u can sit down in the little booths but it's not overly formal. Perfect for a date imo. (for teenagers or pre-cinema munchies)
The only other dining alternative is a candlelit dinner which can be too much or a sh1tty BK/Mc Donalds where u eat your food and GTFO. Eddie's is inbetween these two extremes!
prices worth it, well in my experience(s) of the place anyway!
