    Went there on Friday service was a bit slow...! Think we hit at breaktime for the staff. Food was excellent but pricey! Got two Fries with Cheese & Bacon, 3 Drinks, Chicken Burger, M50 Burger and Chicken tenders. Came to €42.

    I wasn't offered a kiddies menu but my young lad told me they have one and the waitress confirmed after we orderd. Not sure what the prices are like for that!

    I'm not sure if that's something we should be celebrating:P

    I went there 25 years ago & it sucked back then (unless u were into the hurling). Hope it's improved for you guys & gals (no girls in my day, mores the pity) since then.

    First time I went into one, I nearly s*at myself when I saw the prices. Nice burgers ,but at those prices it will be a very rare treat. I don't think that any self respecting student will grace the place, when that money could well be used for something better, like alcohol. Interesting to see if it lasts. What has happened to Ennis, first McD's and now eddie rockets ,whats next?

    dont start me on eddy rockets.
    myself , the missus and 2 kids went to the one in liffey valley.
    ( queuing for any restaurant is sad IMHO never mind a chipper )
    we unfortunately had to queue.
    Eddy Rockets do nice burgers. their fries are sh£te and at €3.50 for them without any of their sauces.... come on & €3.50 for a big glass of coke.

    overall its a total RIP OFF. €45 for us. we only had burgers , plain chips and some drinks.

    maybe ireland in the 80's got excited about a chipper that had some interior design concepts straight from grease but lads wake up. its 2009.
    their concept is 10 years out of date at least and you could eat in a decent restaurant for lunch for their prices.

    Great for a first date maybe but thats it.

    I've been calling it Empty Pockets for 12 years. The prices are absolutely scandalous for what you get.

    My once a month treat is Eddie Rockets with the GF.
    2 burgers (BOGOF voucher), fries, milkshake, I'm usually so stuffed can hardly walk. Get a coffee and get about 25 refills (free), that evens it out a bit.:D
    Couldn't afford it every day, but to be fair their burgers aren't just any old burgers.
    You could hardly compare the styrofoam filled with bits of dead animal and brown lettuce you get at other burger joints and american chains with that.
    And the milkshakes are made with actual milk! Not just a powder and add water that everyone else gives you.
    That or the Mogul Emperor.
    But still one thing missing:
    You cannot get a decent kebab in Ennis for love nor money.
    What you do get in any Irish for fake genuine kebab place can only be described as shredded tires and shoes with cabbage and ketchup inna bun.
    Yearch!
    But you can't beat Enzo's in Parnell Street for chips.
    Why do they actually give you a choice between proper homemade chips and frozen crap?
    "Would you like our genuine chips or frozen sh1t?"
    "Mmmh, lemme think, tricky one that, what where the options again?"
