    Overpriced, messy, small portions...

    Why on Earth does anyone eat there?

    :mad:

    Atmosphere, convenience, impressing a member of the opposite/same sex?

    Their Ultimate Veggie burgers are great. Satisfying and wholesome.

    Don't like it? Don't go.

    Overpriced, yes. But "messy" is your own fault, and the portions are certainly not small...

    More bun than burger to be honest...as for the chips...well I've never seen a smaller portion. True - the shakes are nice, but still, not worth it methinks...

    Goujons with cajun sauce and a strawberry malt shake. What I wouldn't give for it right now.

    It might be overpriced, but damn its good.

    They do a nice burger but they're over priced junk food all the same. I haven't eaten there in a couple of years.
    I only ever get the very odd craving for chips and when I do it's nothing less than a curry cheese chip. On nom nom etc.

    Can't say I've had a bad experience Rockets wise, I always wonder what up you'd end up looking like if that was all you ate for lunch and dinner every day, you probably need to take your front door off it's hinges and smear grease both sides to get in.

    its fast food with table service. the booths are comfy and the burgers are tasty. pricing is reasonable. there are often offers (in galway anyway) for any 2 burgers with 2 small fries and 2 small drinks for €13, which represents great value to me!

    They have easily the tastiest burger I have eaten. They are crunchy on the outside, moist on the inside, the sauce is perfect. They may be pricy but not as pricy as what you would pay for the soggy mess you get for pub grub or any of those American restaurants. Coupled with garlic cheese fries and you can't go wrong.

    Beats BK. Good for conversation, too, as you can talk about the music or the way they make the food or whatever. Wouldn't call Eddie's an alternative to, say, an Indian/Chinese/Lebanese restaurant. It's an upmarket burger bar.

    Op your username would suggest that you have more refined tastes in food ............. don't think fast food outlets are really for you.
