349 King St, Fredericton, NB E3B 1E4, Canada
After many years of working in sales and finance, I decided to change gears after being offered an opportunity to do what I love by being involved with a food truck. I learned a lot from that experience and knew there was nothing like the feeling of making people happy by serving something you are proud of. Striking out on my own, I opened Rocket Burger at the Northside Market in 2015. My goal was to use the best quality ingredients, but maintain a high value for money; a very hard balance to have, but it was important to me for everyone to be able to have a great quality meal. After winning the YFC Burger Battle 2018 and co-winning again in 2019, our popularity was gaining, helping to open my first full restaurant in July 2019.
Been eating here since i discovered them at the Northside Market years ago. Great burgers, owner was always really nice. Very easy to support this local business :)
Amazing service every time I've ever went in, even better food. First time I've ever seen management actually engage with customers and try to make their restaurant better, don't listen to the petty reviews.
The Atlas burger is the best burger I have ever had. It is a 10. It is what my wife and I joke about getting every night because we would if we could. The corn is a 10/10 side and the mac is an 8/10 (personal preference, I like a bit more flavour in my mac). I see people asking for french fries but you're wasting your time. The corn is amazing. Owners are kind and service is always 10/10. Go out of your way for this place.
Small place that doesn't look like much, but they excel in smash burgers! Their patties are so tasty! I opted to have my Atlas burger as a salad, and got the mac and cheese (which was missing seasoning in my opinion) as well as the spudnik (hot) potato salad, which was absolutely delicious!
What a great experience! I had the Rocket burger on a GF bun. It was absolutely amazing! The burgers were nice and juicy, the sauce was super tasty. My partner had the Balistic burger, he said it was the best pulled pork he has ever had. The staff were super friendly. It did take a bit longer for the food, but we'll worth the wait. We think they had a lot of skip orders. Cannot wait to return! !
Update, re: response from owner 2 weeks later: Most owners offer an apology at least, before getting defensive, when customers have a bad experience. This was our 2nd visit (not many). We didn’t contact because like I said, we were travelling and just made a special quick detour. I was sick on the road trip because of the few bites of food I took. (There was another burger but the one pictured was thrown out) Thanks for the acknowledgement. So disappointing. Gross. Such a long wait for this garbage. Who thought this was fit to serve to customers? The two young ladies working on Sat Nov 23 at lunchtime did. Completely dry, overcooked, looks like vomit. Had to throw it out. Looks like it was cooked last week. I did not take a bite of the burger, That’s how it was served. Even the bun was over toasted. I had to edit my original review when we had Rocket Burger 6 months ago and it was amazing. What happened? We took a special detour to stop here. What a waste of money. One of the best burgers we ever had to the absolute worst, never again!
I have never had a burger like this before!! The best ever. So tasty! The staff were so friendly and helpful as it was our first time. We will be back to try everything on the menu!!
A great burger tucked away in the Tannery downtown. The Rocket Burger itself has all the best qualities of your standard old school diner burger. Lots of toppings, lots of grease, charred edges on the smash burger. A great North American style comfort food. While you can sit inside, it is smaller, but during the summer, the whole area is a great place for outdoor dining. Note, this place DOES NOT have fries, but they have a nice array of non-standard sides for the burgers. I had the Atlas Burger and I inhaled it. While I prefer a larger patty on my burger, this spot is still great.
I d be a liar if I gave you anything less than 5 stars because I come here weekly for lunch lol My only complaint is I can t eat a burger here on my lunch anymore because I get so completely full and satisfied I feel like I need to take a nap
Ordered from here and it was nothing short from trash. I saw the way the owner replies to some feedback on here and it made me dislike it more.
Great spot , good sandwiches too on exhibition grounds!
Best dinner Ive ever had
Really good burgers. A must to do if you are around Freddy
Best burgers in the city, the shuttle corn is the best. I ordered from DoorDash and they were still hot and crispy when they arrived.
This place is so good!!
Not impressed with service. And they never answer their phone.
This is the best place I have ever tried to eat a burger. Their burger is the best in the town. Highly recommended.
Might just be the best burger Ive had in Fredericton.
Rocket burger makes the best burgers in Freddy, hands down. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a sloppy delicious burger.
Excellent food, reasonably priced with firendly service. The atmosphere is nothing special in an older building with basic setup. Its not necessarily a bad thing, depending on what youre looking for.
Best smash burger I ve had in a while
rockit bergur Dietary restrictions: gluten free bun ( yippee !! ) Food : 5/5 |
Great burger, no fries.
Its good for takeaway, and best burgers in Fredericton The sauce which they use in burgers is not a regular one, it adds a unique flavour!! Would recommend this place anytime. :) Food
A non-descript tucked-away little joint, but man do they do burgers right. Friendly staff and a chill atmosphere only help make it even better here, but of course the highlight is the burgers. Juicy and delicious, I can see why my friends were hyping this place up.
Delicious...best ice cream on the griddle...
Good burger! We got the double patties and corn on the side. It was a good meal and we ate it outside on the picnic tables outside.
Best burger ever! Juicy and tasty Big crush on the Ballistic and Atlas. We had it with a side of creamy corn A few seats inside, otherwise a few seats outside.
Went looking for a burger place and this is what came up. Looked legit. Ordered two rocket burgers with mac n cheese. Burger was a Wish version of an A&W teen burger and the mac n cheese was grainy and had too much flour. Sucked because we were super hungry and stoked that it looked like it would be good from the website and the reviews. Total let down.
Omg omg omg the burgers are sosososososoososo good i went there for lunch every day i had drivers ed across the road and i fell in love
Did not give me gluten free when I have a really bad allergy. They gave me a gluten bun. Food
My go to for my lunch break here in downtown, this place is solid! I love the atlas burger and never been disappointed with the other ones too! Today I had the Mac and cheese for the first time and it was delicious too so I had to put a review
This was the best burger I have had in years.
Great burger!
The guy who made the Cordon Bleu burger knows exactly what he s doing. Easily the best burger available.
If youre looking for a quality burger in Fredericton, this is the spot. Incredible food, fair pricing, and fast/friendly service every time Ive been. Hard to go wrong here!
My favourite burger place in Fredericton! The smokey flavour of the burgers is amazing! Also great corn :) it does have the juice!
Burger was kinda mid especially for the price
Awesome burgers, the mac and cheese was amazing, quality food at an excellent price point! Will definitely be back
This is the best burger in Fredericton hands down.
Im a big burger fan, and this burger was perfect, the beef patty was cooked to perfection crispy on the sides and their sauce was really tasty. They also use local meat. Love this place !!
Ordered a burger without the bun and it Was very tasty ! Customer service excellent! Very friendly. Will go back again. Definitely recommend if you want a good greasy tasty burger :)
FANTASTIC BURGERS!!! Made fresh with welcoming, friendly people to greet you. Clean, colourful, and open restaurant. Had the Rocket and Atlas burgers ... yummy ... my new go to when I am in the city.
Such good burgers
Great food, very kind and patient staff. Would definitely recommend!
Pretty good burgers but felt like I was eating a dog
Rocket burger slaps, and the mac and cheese is delicious.
Fast service and great burgers
So when my friend Imran mentioned to me about Rocket Burger my comment was Burgers in general are overrated well I was wrong. I just finished eating Ballistic Burger from Rocket Burgers and I simply loved it, very bold combination of bbq sauce and pulled pork fills your tongue but it is not too sweet or tangy that takes all the pallet, it leaves enough room for the whisky flavor and cripsy bacon to be visible. I honestly think they have a secret ingredient they have not revealed while cooking the slow-pulled pork. Because it is different from others and is everything against cliche.
Double rocket Burger with bacon with a side of Mac and cheese. Over all I did not have a good experience. I stood in front of the cash for over 5 minutes before any one acknowledged me. While I was waiting. I watched one of the staff eat a burger over the prep station while we was working. The burger was thin and dry and the lettuce was soggy. The Mac and cheese didn t taste like cheese it s was salty And pasty
All the way from the UK to enjoy a fab Rocket Burger on GF bun. Dietary restrictions: GF options
If you re famished and wanna fill up, this is not the place, unless you order a lot of food. Personally a double patty burger should sate an insatiable hunger but this morsel merely satisfied my cravings for a non-chain fast place. No fries here and no desire for their sides (had them when they were at the Northside). Place definitely needed a quick wipe down but I noticed most people devoured their order within five minutes. Do not eat the burger in your car. It s drippy, oily, and runny mayhem intended for your mouth.
Refused to serve me as I had my Service Dog with me. Told me if I wanted to be served that I had to leave my medical equipment outside. Needless to say, we walked out.
I tried the Atlas burger and potatoes and they were both so good. Might be the best burger in the area imo.
Their amazing & saucy bacon cheeseburgers make up for the disappointing sides they offer.
Juicy and tasty burgers! You wont make any mistakes by choosing any (my preferred is the Rocket Burger double and the hotdog) The only detail to pay attention is to avoid ordering though the official... Sometimes their courier takes much longer than the expected time... So use another site of your preference and be happy.
Weve had rocket Burger now about 300 times and its about time we left a five-star review. Excellent burger and also excellent service
A must try!
Rocket burger is by far the best burger in New Brunswick, and it isnt even close. These guys work miracles
One of the best burger spots in town!
Hands down the best burger I have ever eaten and the mac and cheese is incredible! Perfect comfort food! Cannot recommend enough!
In my humble opinion, this is the best burger that you can get in town. There is only 6 or 7 burgers on the menu, but they have the process down to a science. I wouldnt be surprised if this local establishment grows into a full-blown franchise, but I hope it stays small and stays dedicated to quality.
Hands down best burger in town! OMG!!
Its even good sober
One of the best burgers I ever had.
Best burgers in Fredericton. Although grab a couple extra napkins
This place understands how a burger should be served. In a bun or as we opted for-over a salad. Refreshing and delicious. Delicious beef with bacon and a sauce to die for. Friendly atmosphere,parking available and all around cool vibe!
Really impressed with the burger! super fresh ingredients. The mac and cheese on the other hand, meh. I didnt find the cheese to noodle ratio right. Too much noodle lol. Would definitely order another burger but Ill be staying clear of the mac and cheese Update: they got the mac and cheese right! Add the pulled pork...you wont be disappointed.
Charred black patty Service personnel was impolite Atmosphere has zero ambience. Food : 2/5
Rocket Burger is a must-try for burger lovers! Their burgers are fantastic, and the prices, ranging from $9 to $15, are very reasonable. While the dine-in area may not be to my liking, its a great option for take-away. Highly recommend indulging in their delicious burgers for a satisfying meal on the go.
This is my daughters favorite burger joint. We come all the way from Maine to eat here. I was a bit shocked at first they dont serve fries but maybe all the poutine places took them. The potato and corn salad options are very good alternatives to fries. The food is always consistent and good and the staff always very accommodating. The bathroom is always clean, the true test of a well run restaurant.
This place was amazing. It s a hole in the wall burger joint and it s a must when in Fredericton.
Messy burger but sooo good. Love the sides too
Best burgers in town so far
very good!
13$ for a burger is crazy and it s not even good. Wendy s $5 Baconator is 10000x better . Chucks of uncooked hard fat in patty I keep spitting out and cheese is really tart like blue cheese. Wouldn t recommend the atlas burger it s not good
You really cant beat the quality, price, and convenience of this place. I eat here often enough the staff is always great too
Delicious
Ordered two Basllistic burgers, unfortunately, there may have been a mixup and we may have received two rocket burgers instead because there was no pulled pork on the burgers. That said, they were still absolutely delicious. I recommend this place if your looking for a good burger that feels home-cooked and satisfying to eat.
Amazing! Must try their Rocket dogs with bacon and cheese!! Yummy.
best mf burger i ve ever had
Atlas burger is not only the best burger in Fredericton, but may be the best burger to enter my mouth ever, period. Sputnik salad is also unbelievable. 10/10
Awards deserved, Rocket Burger has the best burgers in Fredericton. In fact, theyre so good, we often just get the plain Rocket Burger itself! (Though dont knock their chicken burger until youve had it either!) I dont understand all the hate around the sides. Sure fries are good, but you can get those anywhere. The Mac and Cheese and the Shuttle Corn are our favourites. Anyone who thinks theyre tasteless needs to learn what good cheese tastes like! Plus, prices are very good. Again, that might just be because we prefer to order the plain burgers, but hey, theyre still tasty!
Rocket Burger is one of the best burger places I have tried in Fredericton. They dont deep fry so dont expect your usual fries, poutines and onion ring sides. They have a creamy mac and cheese, Shuttle corn and their newest addition, and my favorite so far, a potato salad called the spudnik salad . For the price the portions are fair and The burgers are made to order so always hot and fresh. The staff were very knowledgeable about the products and reccomended based on my picky appetite.
Awesome burger
Had the unbelievable Atlas burgers with Mac and cheese yesterday. Man!! What a serious, inspired treat!
Love this place. Staff is friendly also. Every time it is so good!!
Recommended by a friend who claims its his favourite and is spoiled now cause no other burger is as good. And boy is he right. Started with the atlas burger. Superb. Bought a rocket burger to go back to the hotel. Even hours later is was an awesome burger.
Rocket burger has the single burgers I have ever had in my life. No, this is not an exaggeration; no, Im not being paid to write this review. I literally cannot endorse this place enough. The beef is local and tastes amazing; I have to say, you can really taste the difference here in local beef vs factory farmed beef. Their burgers are original and the toppings are excellent. Id recommend the Atlas burger, personally. No other burger I have ever had in my life has even come close to the quality and taste of a Rocket burger. I really hope you guys can expand and keep doing business in Fredericton. Really love you guys. Keep doing what youre doing!
Whenever I order takeout, this is usually my go to place. So delicious!
Had the atlas burger with a side of the corn, delicious
I like your burgers. But, your sides are not good. I had your Mac & Cheese. It was tasteless. The absence of a good fresh cut fry as a side is also disappointing.
Place is super chill and all the people working there is super friendly. I had the atlas burger and a rocket dog. They eill substitute anything for the most part to make it your own. Food is super good and well made. Definitely recommend this spot. The jerk chicken burger is so good
These burgers are out of this world!
Had the Atlas Burger and omg it was good. Those onions were amazing. I wanted a burger that day and i dont think i could have had a better one anywhere else.
Always know what to expect when eating at Rocket Burger. Freshly made and dripping with sauce and greese. You can choose to have your burger as a salad. The onions are very well prepared on the Atlas burger. If you are looking for a classic burger experience this is the best place in Fredericton to do that.
I have never written a review for anything before but this place was so good that I just had to! I dont eat hamburger meat so I cant say much about the beef burgers themselves but the chicken burger was so moist and delicious, I cant stop thinking about it! I hear their beef burgers are just as delicious. I absolutely recommend the chicken burger. It may be a little on the pricey side but the product you get is totally worth it! A nice small little business downtown that I recommend everyone should experience at least once. The customer service was also very good; despite the long queue and only two employees working I got my burger, cooked fresh on the spot, in 15 minutes. Definitely a spot to visit if youre in the Fredericton downtown area. I will be going back again!
Great staff, great food, great prices. Highly recommended
Amazing taste and service 10/10 keep it up
Wow that was a yummy burger! Like really good!
Terrible presentation and tastes even worse.
Service was very friendly, the prices were more than reasonable for the quality of food! This was definitely one of the best burger I have ever eaten! My boyfriend also really liked the chicken sandwich! Highly recommended!
Fresh, great tasting burgers.
Such a nice spot, guys are very nice and THE BEST HAMBURGER IN FREDERICTON.
Its okay. The burgers are pretty good but it all depends what you think of the rocket sauce as it is the main thing you will tatse. The sides were pretty bad I had the spudnik salad which just tasted like bacon grease and the shuttle corn I didnt finish. It just lasted like old greasy corn and I didnt get any hint of lime and the feta seemed more of a texture thing rather than having much flavour. Skip the sides and get the burger.
Wonderful !!!!!
Probably the best spot in all of Fredericton
Burgers were good, but the mac and cheese might be the worst Ive ever had.
Very good! My sister and I each ordered the rocket burger and got the potato salad and corn sides so we can try each. The burger was very good, I usually am picky about what I like on burgers because I dont like ketchup, mustard and pickles (which are usually standard on other burgers) so I just opt for plain burgers to save from having mistakes happen. But the rocket burger with just the special rocket sauce was very tasty and I enjoyed every bite. Its a bit drippy but thats to be expected with a good greasy burger like this. The sides were very good also, the corn has a nice flavoring with the cumin and feta cheese and the potato salad that is more of a load potato in a bowl was very good and packed with a good mix of seasoning. If youre looking for a good burger in Fredericton would recommend this place!
Decided to order here after a chain fast food place was closed and Im thankful I did! The classic rocket burger was delicious (though messy but worth it). The sauce was reminiscent of big Mac sauce but I could be mistaken since I havent had one in years. So if youre into that youll probably love their burgers. Everything looked and tasted fresh and the staff were nice. I especially enjoyed their array of sides (bonus for not being plain ol fries). The shuttle corn and spudnik salad were great pairings with the burger. The size of them was great as well, a small is more than enough to share with 2 people. I can see myself seeking this out and craving it
It was really an amazing burger, I love it
Food is great.
Great burgers, service and value. 5 stars no brainer.
Fantastic burger place. Highly recommend the Atlas Burger. Staff were great.
Everything is good here except the tables and chairs. They are too close together and a bit uncomfortable, everything else is fine!
Best burgers anywhere. The ultimate treat.
Love their burgers
Best
Wow! How had we never tried it before? What makes it so good? The crispy bacon? The delicious special sauce? The freshness of the beef?? So good, our new favorite burger place! Well done folks
Good customer service
Best burger in town Id say. The atlas is my go to.
Pretty sure the cheese on the burger was just a Kraft single. If not, it looked and tasted like it. I wasnt impressed.
My burger already had a bite taken out if it... When I went back to rectify the situation the employees were very standoffish and made me feel like I was making it up. Will not be returning because of public health concerns.
Loved the Rocket Burger! Juicy!
Never gets old! BURGERS ARE UNREAL!
The Burger was good but the Mac and Cheese and German Potato Salad are Not. I get that Burger Joints like to stand out by having different sides but these sides are not good at all. And call me basic but when i have a Burger i want Fries with it. A lot of Burger places (Mostly Corporate) have terrible Fries. It would be nice to a have a small place here in town that has Good Burgers and Nice Golden Fries. They probably get this a lot and havent changed yet so i doubt this will make any difference on the Fries front.
The workers are great, they make some delicious burgers but I don t think they get paid enough! Definitely pay them more, they deserve every penny!
burgers are delicious! Corn is amazing and so addictive Mac and cheese was a bit bland but still not to bad :) overall was very good and will go again!
Its delicious I will eat it when I have time
Just tried the single rocket burger and Mac and Cheese on the side and I can say without a doubt, it was terrible. The meat on the burger was paper thin and the burger itself was mostly bun. As for the Mac and cheese I couldnt eat it. The cheese tasted weird. I was really hoping for a good burger but I was sadly disappointed. The staff was really friendly but the food was flavorless and didnt have any seasonings. Unfortunately I will not come back.
Had the double rocket burger and my friend had the chicken Burger good size for the price and big enough that you don t even need a side both were absolutely delicious also very friendly staff 10 out of 10 will come again next time I m in Fredericton
The burger patties are really thin so youll have to order a double just to get a standard sized burger. Also thought it was a bit overpriced. But I didnt see too many other burger places around so in comparison I guess this ones good.
First time trying to restuarant, defiently a hidden gem within fredericton! I went with the classic double rocker burger. The bun was fresh, the flavors of the sauce, meat and veggies blend well and result in a unique explosion of flavor for your taste buds to enjoy! Overall the meal left me satisfied and eager to come back again! Their prices are also reasonable and fair for the FRESH food you have the opportunity to try!
Service was good, burger was surprisingly yummy.
Pretty disappointed to be honest we ordered take out. My burger was ok the fixings were fresh the rocket sauce was good but my burger was chard black dry and crunchy. Had the mac and cheese on the side and it was dry and not cheesy. Good pricing but Im disappointed .
This place has fantastic burgers made right when you order them. They dont have fries, but you can get shuttle corn, which is also delicious.
The best burgers in town. Hands down.
One of the best burgers I ve ever had, and the price can t beat! I ll definitely be back!
Great food and service with some unique items on the menu.
Delicious!!! Thank you
Amazing food!
I had a burger here for lunch and it was amazing! The meat and toppings are awesome and the staff are excellent. I highly recommend A +++
Paid $12 for a double burger bacon and cheese there was no bacon the cheese was a sauce that dripped off the dare i say cow that was still alive. Hey i get that mistakes happen but when a customer says something about and gets a response of opps i will not ever go back and i dont recommend this place to anyone Went back again just the other day havent changed my mind if and thats a big if I ever go back immediately make sure to take pictures
The burgers are AMAZING! You need self-control not to spend your whole paycheck on their burgers! Unfortunately, the sides were not to my taste, but then again, I ate the burger first...
Great place to grab a burger for lunch. Their burgers are delicious, bit sadly they dont have fries and an option for sides...
Best burgers in town!!!!
Had a great first experience at Rocket Burger today! The menu is simple which makes choosing your burger a much easier task. I had the ballistic burger with Mac and cheese and was not let down! Can t wait to go back and try something different.
Awesome date with my girl!
Hands down the best burger in the city!
If you re looking for a delicious burger, look no further! Whether it be late at night after a few drinks or during the day, their burgers are probably the tastiest in town. Prices are pretty reasonable as well.
ROCKET BURGER! A burger that sends my taste buds to space. Mouth watering just thinking about their burgers. Keep in mind when you go here they dont do fries for a side. They do have though....CORN! YES THATS RIGHT! CORN! THEIR CORN IS SO GOOD. THIS PLACE IS SO GOOD! GO THERE!!!
Great burgers. A bit pricey, but worth it.
Amazing as always - will recommend this place until the end of time. Great service - great food.
Wow, what a hidden gem! Stopped in here to try out a burger that a lot of people recommended and I was not disappointed! 100% one of the best burgers Ive ever had in my life! Staff were friendly and the burger was perfect. I will absolutely bring friends and family here in the future!
Rocket Burger serves the juiciest burgers in town, and everyone that works there is very friendly! Good prices, good food, great experience!
Best burger Ive had in a long time.
Great burger
Exceptional service, Every-time I order regardless of the time it s ready in 8-15 minutes. Food is cooked to order and clearly with passion as it tastes great, good portion sizes and very friendly staff.
Great place to stop in for a quick burger.
Awesome place to stop for a GREAT burger. I have not tried the Atlas Burger yet because I can t get away from the Ballistic Burger. Fantastic service as well! Wayne W.
Wonderful burgers and they have incredible gluten free buns and other gluten free options. <3 easily my favourite place to eat out.
Best burger in Fredericton, without a doubt. Reminds me of American chains like Shake Shack, In-n-Out, Five Guys ect... but better!
Ive had pulled pork in 12 major cities in Canada. This is the best youll find in the country. A MUST visit for anyone in Fredericton.
Amazing burger, and the grilled corn on the side is the best thing ever!
Atlas burgers were fantastic (but I dont think it needed the tomato)! Rocket Chicken burger was the perfect juiciness, but I wish we would have sat inside so I could appreciate it more according to my wife. The grilled corn was OK, but my kids fought over the Mac & cheese.... Super Cheesey, Velveeta-ey, Best Mac Ever were the quotes. Staff was amazing, witty and personable. They really enjoyed telling us about the stuff the have going on (like the smoked pulled pork). Challenging to find parking, but street side works. And for the guys inside, YES it WAS worth the drive from Ontario!
great prices. great food. great service.
Went here for dinner with my girlfriend, today and all I can say is the burgers we had were life changingly good, thank you very much
Great burger, great service. HOWEVER, Every burger deserves a crispy side of fries. I am disappointed that rocket burger lacks in that department of sides. Mac and cheese is subpar.
The burgers are great, but its the weekend night staff that truly make the experience amazing!
I went into rocket burger only to feed my curiosity. I left with a rocket burger with bacon and cheese. Little did I know my pallet was going to be graced by a burger containing the holy trinity of maximum simplicity, structure and flavour. After having the burger I felt like I was led on by a beautiful woman and wanted more. Like a sick and twisted addiction I fell in love with the rocket burger. Truly a hidden gem of Fredericton.
There is a reason they won the burger battle. The Rocket Burger has become a weekend must have for us. Great food & Awesome service every time. Dont forget to try their mac & cheese.
Our first time trying out Rocket Burger and it was a great tasting burger. Also tried their Shuttle Corn, WOW!!! This is absolutely wonderful.
