Eddie Rocket’s have been loudly trumpeting their new menu to us radio addicts. Despite the likes of the Real Gourmet Burger chain going out of business, the whole gourmet burger concept, along with the fierce recession, has inevitably put some pressure on Eddie’s.
Some of their prices can’t have helped either. The radio ads tell us it’s cheaper than before, but my eyebrows are raised at the insanely overpriced onion rings: still €5.50, and still utterly inexcusable. The chips have fallen in price from €3.90 t0 €3.50, but this is still a big fat rip-off, especially when I’m pretty sure they’re frozen.
That said, I do quite like Eddie’s: it’s consistent and always satisfying. The chicken burger, in particular, is a reliable treat. The new menu brings more variety to the table, with everything from a very peculiar “grilled pineapple burger” to apple, walnut and blue cheese salads and margerita meatballs. Most attractive of all, however, are the new variety baskets at €6.50 and €10.
What do you think of Eddie Rocket’s, and do you like the new menu?
