| - I'm not sure if I get the rocket love. Maybe it's just not my speed, but after one visit, I'm not really inclined to return. There is an awesome selection of soda's in the bottle though. Maybe that's worth the trip.
The wife and I rolled in after attending an RV show in Peoria. On the way home, I remembered all the raves about this place, and it was about lunch time, so we re-calculated our route and made a stop in here.
I'm kind of a Root Beer fanatic, and it was great to see all the different brands. I just randomly picked one. Not even sure what it was, didn't have much head, but good flavor. I also had been craving a hot dog. Got one of those along with a cheeseburger. The hotdog was awesome, grilled all-beef quarter pounder served nicely on a toasted bun. That fixed my craving. The cheeseburger part was simply for reference. It was decently prepared and presented, but the bun was stale. Not stale enough to taste bad, but enough to crumble into unworkable chunks of bread before I finished the burger. I probably left a quarter of the bun in crumbles in my basket.
So overall, this was a first-impression review and I can say while I wasn't blown away, It also was not bad either. Maybe I'm spoiled by all the custom-burger places in my neighborhood, and after all the raves I've heard, maybe my expectations were too high. But for the price, quality and ambiance (which is not something they have) of Rocket Burger, it's a decent option.
