Would recommend to any traveller on I-10 to swing south for this good and greasy joint. I live for the crab burger but it's all good. Heads up, locals know to order ahead and wait in your car til they call your number.

Very friendly service. Ordered the bacon cheese burger and curly-q fries. It's real bacon, not the kind you get at fast food restaurants. Best burger in town

Found Rockets on yelp while driving from Houston to NOLA 10/10/13! My boyfriend and I wanted a quick/fast food diner but didn't want the typical chain restaurant.... So I yelped and found this place! Well it was perfect for what we were looking for. I called in our order about 20 min prior to reaching Jennings and it was ready as soon as we arrived. We picked it up and ate it in the car. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger w a side of homemade onion rings & he ordered the double bacon cheeseburger w a side of fries and a chocolate banana shake. The burgers were delicious and so much better than a fast food burger! Definitely homemade patties! I would have liked mine a little less cooked but it was still full of flavor and a little juicy & just the right size! Patties where thick and fit the bun. His double was HUGE. Onion rings were ok.... I think maybe they had been ready for a while so weren't super fresh.... Fries were the same. Had they been hot I think they may have been decent tasting. Last but not least, my boyfriends shake??? OMG! Out of this world delicious! Fresh banana chunks blended perfectly in the chocolate ice cream!! I wished I had gotten one too!;) They staff were really nice and super accommodating! Even kept smiling when I added drinks last min and then changed from a med to a large (after they had fixed the med) bc I noticed it was a really small medium. We will def try again next time we are passing thru and looking for a quick bite! I posted a pic of the menu bc when we ordered we basically just based out order off it the yelp reviews posted...

Freakin YUM! killer pb shake n homemade onion rings! They have daily specials like broccoli bites n cheddar GREAT SERVICE
(5)Rob B.
Love this place! Best shrimp sandwich on the planet (perfectly fried shrimp, lettuce, tomato, and mayo on a bun. Note - get the sandwich. Not the shrimp po-boy. NOT the shrimp burger. The sandwich. TRUST ME). The shakes are really, really good. Cherry shakes have little bits of cherry mixed in. Heavenly! Who else even offers a cherry shake, much less a great one? Lots of other flavors, as well. The burgers/cheeseburgers are of the thin, diner/grill/drive-in variety and are delicious. Delicious! The fries are decent, and always piping hot. My sister swears by the homemade onion rings. Not the regular onion rings. The homemade onion rings. Trust her! Beware of the little hand-written notes taped to the glass tempting you to try boudin balls, crawfish pistolettes, etc. Trust me, they're delicious, but are packed with lots more calories per ounce compared to a shrimp sandwich or a burger! Finally, if you're looking for a great drive-in where you can also buy a new welder's cap, this is it!

Was craving a bacon cheeseburger when I was visiting my friend. I was thrilled when we drove up to this quaint little drive-in. I got my bacon cheeseburger with a side of fries, and the quintessential sweet tea. I do believe they put crack into their sweet tea because I couldn't get enough of it! Lots of bacon in the cheeseburger, fried to the perfect crunchiness; tasty burger, very juicy. Wish we tried the other side orders but I didn't want to take away from that wonderful burger.
(5)Michael F.
Delicious everything. Wife and I split a burger po-boy and a banana split in a cup. Friendly and fast service. This is a great place to go for delicious food and deserts.
(5)Becki R.
This was a Yelp find on our way to the beach. I will definitely stop at this dive again. Ladies were super sweet and the food was fantastic! I think I ate my shrimp sandwich in 3 bites it was so good!
(5)BritChantell T.
Cutest Local Drive in! Very great prices and friendly staff! Sweet Potato fries and broccoli bites were awesome! I take trips to Houston often and this this stop is about to become a ritual!
(4)John K.
I have eaten here quite often over the past few years and now that I'm taking to writing reviews, I owe it to The Rocket to leave my opinion. Simply put, this restaurant is the last of the great mom and pop food stops. The burgers here are always cooked to perfection, and no matter what you want, they cook it to order. Everything is fresh and full of taste. I highly recommend either the burger or the shrimp sandwich. You'll definitely be going back. Also, the staff is fast and super super friendly. There's nothing like the owner calling you by name and giving you a smile as she hands you your food.
(5)Tempie T.
The nice lady who took my order called me baby. She looked like my granny so I appreciated it. My husband and I are pescatarians. We chose fish burgers and sweet potato fries. They offer funnel fries with powdered sugar. We did not order them and are both filled with great regret.
(5)Susie R.
These TEXAS girls say STOP and check it out. Now. As quickly as you can. Best crab and boudin balls and pistolettes we could have ever hoped for. We were looking for a place to stop and grab a quick bite to eat from the time we crossed the border. We YELPED lots of places, but ended up here, thankfully. It was everything we could have ever hoped for. YUM.
