    Chicken wings + strawberry malt, that's all. Don't care much for anything else

    I've only eaten there a few times, and those times it was because I got one of those "buy 1 burger get 1 free" deals with Dunnes receipt and head there with a friend. So, when the burger has such a chunk of the price cut down it makes it a lot more worth it. Supermacs is my usual, with Subway on occasion. Even though Supermacs is my usual, though, its fairly variable how often I'd go, could be a few times a month, or there could be a month or two between visits. Honestly, if I was going to be getting something pricey food wise I'd rather go to those pub/restaurants and get something there. Mashed potatotes and whatnot.

    Apologies if I am making anyone hungry.

    Eating at Eddie Rockets is the same as playing the lotto, a tax on idiots.

    Yeah and last year it was 10 Eur for the same deal, so has gone up 33% in a year:rolleyes:

    *cough* That's 30% maths boy.

    It's a bit pricey, that's the only thing wrong with it. They do great food. Portions are fine.

    the one in arklow gives you any burger, fries and a drink for 2 plus 2 cinema tickets for €16. thats a good deal in my book

    Who lives in Arklow? If it were deleted from Ireland then I don't think anyone would notice. Moreover, most of us here are interested in real towns and cities ;)

    I'd sooner go to The Counter or somewhere similar and choose exactly what I want in my burger.
    their strawberry shakes is about the only thing they have going for them.

    Their food is awful. Not Supermacs bad, but still bad.

    I love Eddie Rockets, the garlic cheese fries are sexual... *drools* And you could hardly call the portions small imo! They're pretty huge I think.

    If I've successfully cracked your location, you do realise that they have them here as "Ed's" (website will play Elvis, you've been warned). Even more flavours of milkshake!

    The fact that most of their outlets are regularly packed would suggest otherwise

    Smockstack combo with fries and coke, a rare yet delightful Eddie Rocket's treat :D

    Their milkshakes are lovely too!

    People who haven't a clue -what do you mean Teyla? :) Do you mean because one should only ever be enjoying handgrown organic rocket picked at dawn for fear of being otherwise deemed clueless? It's the weekend Teyla -put down the tofu and go grab a burger -you might actually enjoy yourself!

    Get over yourself. People eat there, because they like it.

    The Oreo malt is an orgasm for the palate :)

    No wannabe foodie is going to convince me otherwise .

    Everyone knows that Eddie Rockets is just a rip off of Buddy Cadillacs Diner in Mullingar.

    If you like good food, good fun, and a whole lot of crazy crap on the walls,
    then come on down to Buddy Cadillac's All-American diner.;)

    I'm surprised any faux-American diner in Ireland could ever be considered a rip-off of another faux-American diner in Ireland.

    Eddie Rockets is a rip off of the Roadhouse in Carlow.

    Saying that, Eddie's is much nicer. Smokestack burger after a night on the beer is the job.

    Sure they do.
    At Buddy Cadillacs they've got everything you could ever want.
    Just don't complain about the service or they might shoot you in the face :eek:

    I like a good burger, I just don't like their burgers. I would much rather go somewhere like GBK. I reckon people only eat in Eddie Rockets due to lack of choice, or because they don't realise there are better places out there.
