    According to a staff member that we spoke to Fri eve - He owns 11. And all of those are now Rocking Joes. The sauces and dips are all obviously different suppliers, and you could tell. The blue cheese dip with the wings ain't nice at all... And that's putting it mildly

    Burger buns are now over coated floury baps... I looked like scarface after one bite.

    Pity...

    The owner of the Rockin' Joe's stores had to change the name following a dispute with Eddie Rockets. According to the thread in the Waterford forum, he couldn't afford the franchise fees due to the fire that gutted the Waterford outlet.

    Overpriced, messy, small portions...

    Why on Earth does anyone eat there?

    :mad:

    I have noticed the burger size and protion size overall has gone down in recent years, while the price for what I want to eat has gone up

    It's too expensive for what it is, but I have no problem with the food. That said, I can't think of many places I wouldn't eat. I'm a human dumpster. Loved the chilli dogs, but it's probably 20 years since I've had one.

    Family meal deal is not the worst

    2 adults meals
    2 kids meals

    €32 I think.

    Their food is reasonably tasty, leaves you full, and for table service, is reasonably priced.

    Not sure what people are expecting from a burger joint.

    For as long as I’ve been aware of “empty pockets” ppl have complained of their high prices yet they are still doing good business

    Not sure. Think I had a hot dog there earlier this year. My guess is, as part of the "Covid 19 delivery-only" model, they may have streamlined their menu. I know a few other places have done that (social distancing in the kitchen/some food travels better than others etc).
