Sky Rocket Burger

LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING. The outside exterior at first looks off but the food more than makes up for it in addition to fast and exceptional service. The secret sauce is delicious and the staff was very friendly. One thing I could do without is that it was a little pricey. I got a double with cheese fries but the taste was absolutely delicious. This may be the best burger I’ve ever eaten in my life NO JOKE. I recommend anyone in the area to come and try this place.

This is the best burger I have ever had in my life. If it’s your first time, I suggest you start with a single to make sure you don’t overeat. The owners care and want you to have a great experience.

There’s a lot of good burgers in DFW. But in my opinion this is the best smash burger in town, by a wide margin. Their fries are also top tier, as is their secret sauce. Plus, everything is CONSISTENTLY great because of the people there. The owner and his wife are super nice, and I have never eaten there that the owner didn’t come out from the kitchen or from behind the counter to ask me how everything was. The food is not cheap, but nothing is anymore. I would much rather spend money here than at a chain restaurant. If you love smash burgers, then this is a MUST try.

This quick serve burger restaurant is excellent! Love the service and smiles from the staff! It has a small town feel to it, the burgers and fries is what makes it stand above the rest. A great casual place that welcomes jeans and t-shirts.

If you like smash patties, this is the place for you! The prices are fair and the meat is fresh. It’s a very simple menu, so this isn’t the place for a novelty burger. We ordered and had our food within 10 minutes. My wife loved that it’s one of the few places that let her order the junior burger. If you like smaller portions, they are happy to accommodate at Sky Rocket. The fries were average but we didn’t load them with toppings as it was our first time. With that burger, the fries will be secondary in your mind anyways. The man taking orders was very kind and helpful as well. There are only a few tables and parking is a bit weird as well. We had to park along the back side of the building.

The place is unique, and the burgers are delicious and fresh. I had the lettuce single burger, fully dressed; it was perfect, and the fries and sauce were incredibly fresh. Highly recommend!

Solid burger, flavorful, super saucy, and good prices. They offer both American and cheddar cheese options (possibly more). They have a fountain onsite for sodas as well and Cabot ice cream sandwiches available for purchase.

There are three burger joints that have embedded themselves into my memory. The first was Steak and Shake in the early 80s because my grandma used to take me there. The second was Uncle's Burgers in South Korea because it was the only place a soldier could get a decent burger. Now, the third is Sky Rocket Burgers. This is seriously the best burger I've eaten in decades. I used to go to slider joints on the Harley, just to try out new mom and pop shops. They were good, but Sky Rocket is amazing! I will take my family there so they can experience the best burger and fries ever! Plus, the Fry Sauce is magical and addictive! Believe me when I tell you, you want this experience!

I've heard so many good things about this place, I had to finally try it. I had a burger with two patties, two slices of cheese, bacon, and grilled onions. It came with lettuce, mayo, secret sauce, and pickles. The patties are smash-burger patties, well seasoned and juicy. It was definitely one of the best burgers I've had in the area and I couldn't put it down until it was gone. We also had chili cheese fries, which were good as well. Staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a stop.

We walked in and immediately felt welcomed. Classic retro style ambiance. The menu is small but reasonably priced. Super juicy burger with amazing service! Try their cheese tots on the secret menu too. You can add chili or bacon to anything as well if you request it. Rocket fries is a must try as well as the burger!! The bread is sooo fluffy and buttery. I will say that the bread is quite big so to get proper portion sizes of bread to meat ratio, I'd recommend getting the double patty! Overall I'd give this place a solid 8.5/10!

Yum!! Super good smash burger. I got the double and husband got the single. Burgers were fantastic, each to our preference on meat to bun ratio. The sauce is great. We got a large fry to share and they came out super hot. Lava bombs for a while but a really nice thick fry with plenty of salt. Service is working hard though you can tell they are super busy. Ambiance is a typical quick burger spot. It's small inside but we got a table and our food was pretty fast.

The customer service was so nice. Very welcoming. Came in on a Saturday night craving a good burger and this place did not disappoint. I ordered the single burger and fries and both satisfied the need. The burger is what I consider the kind that get sloppy and I love it. Good flavor and well cooked. Like the secret sauce as well especially for the fries. I got my food fast as well! Fries and burger about $12-$13.

Great jr burger, great sauce and meat abundance. 5$ jr burgers worth the price for the taste. Delicious and delightful. These don't include fries you must order those separately, same with drinks.

I've been craving burgers for about a week and reviewed so many burger lists, including my own that I started years ago. There are so many choices: Do I want a classic backyard burger, a compact smash burger, a fancy burger with goat cheese foam? After Ms. Semhar suggested Sky Rocket and I watched several videos on TikTok, I knew I had found a winner. Ugh, it was so good! My big back ordered the double with cheese, jalapenos, onion, spicy mayo, lettuce and tomato. And then I had the audacity to order large cheese fries. I have no critique, honestly. It's a simple burger, yet everything was seasoned so well. And not only that, but usually the lettuce, tomato and onion, while necessary, become a messy nuisance and end up falling out at some point. They dice the onions into small pieces and thinly slice the tomato. Truly a tasty masterpiece. The fries were all crispy but I'd probably just get the regular fries next time because the cheese hardens pretty quickly and I was too focus on the burger. And as many people have mentioned, the woman working there was so incredibly sweet to every single customer. She even offered me extra peppers. This location is the original, which was cool, but please note that there are some differences between this location and the other ones. They do not sell milkshakes here or have ranch. BUT, they don't charge extra for the add ons, like jalapeños, grilled onions, spicy mayo, etc. I believe the only thing that's extra is if you get an egg or bacon. To me, that's a win.

Delicious! It's been a while since I've had a burger this good. The single with cheese hit the spot. Glad you provide a roll of paper towels at each table. The burgers can be a bit messy (in a good way). And thank you to the very friendly staff that made the experience super enjoyable. I will be back!

Time and time again Sky Rocket just does it for me!!! Consistently the most amazing thin patties that come out PIPING hot and fresh! I always opt for the bacon cheeseburger with lettuce, tomatoes, mayo, and their special sauce. It's so dang good. Trust me just go! Oh and the fries also come out super fresh and way too big for one person so I always end up sharing! Generous portions!

WOW. TOP 5 BURGERS ALL TIME. Everything about this burger was good. Loved how juicy the patties were, the sauce was crack, and the prices were solid. Buns were well toasted and the produce was very fresh. Super fire burger man. Only complaint is the fries, wished they were a bit more crispy. #takeoff

This is the OG location of Sky Rocket Burger, and let me just say, my current DFW burger obsession is Hookers in Fort Worth, but I'm more than happy to continue my quest to find the ultimate burger. This one had glowing reviews, and I LOVE a place with a super-limited menu--it means they're putting their heart and soul into the few things they serve. And here? It's all about burgers, fries, and shakes. They do have a few extras like tater tots, grilled cheese, and a newly added Texas chili, but that's pretty much it. No frills, just focus. I went for the cheeseburger (as it comes, but subbed grilled onions for raw ones--pro tip: they supposedly charge you an extra 50 cents for grilled onions online, but in-store? Nada, zip, free grilled onion love). Hubbs had the same, and we split a small fry. In hindsight, I could've totally survived on the junior burger and junior fries, but you know what? I'm not one to back down from a food challenge, so of course, I finished everything. I was stuffed, but it was worth it. The burger? Absolute perfection. Not a smash burger, but a 1/4-pound beauty, perfectly grilled and fresh on a soft roll. I don't know what magic they've got going on in that kitchen, but this has officially become my new favorite burger in Dallas. The fries are possibly hand-cut, as some still have skins on them, which I love. A minor gripe might be that most of our fries were mostly broken, so not a single long fry in the bunch, all short pieces. Apparently, I'm not alone in this because the place was packed. You've got to hover like a hawk for a vacant table to park yourself and stuff your face. Oh, and the staff? Nicest cashier ever, and the gal who delivers your food is so sweet, with the biggest smile for everyone. Burger bliss and great vibes all around! They also veer from the norm and don't offer Coke or Pepsi products here, They did have this one cherry lime soda that was (sadly not diet), but super refreshing. Bathrooms were clean, though I would have loved paper towels.

The staff is super friendly; everyone greeted me with a smile. They also have the perfect fix for a juicy burger and fluffy fries. I ordered the single burger with cheese and added raw + grilled onions, jalapeños, and spicy mayo. I'm already planning for my next stop here!

These burgers are one of the best I've ever eaten! I got a junior burger and for me it was a decent portion. I ordered at a kiosk, but I think you can also order with them personally! The vibes were very peaceful and quiet when I got there, I'm not sure if it's always like that but yeah!

Walked in and they were packed. I'm happy to see that. When I stayed in Plano a few years ago I think they had just opened and it wasn't as busy. Customer service is very good. They greet you with a smile most times. Burgers are made when you order. Not a fancy burger joint but it's a nice place to come eat.

The burgers are the best around. Service is friendly and easy. The only bad part for me is the word has got out and it's a lot more crowded than it use to be. Construction in the area is a pain and the parking needs to be addressed. Small operation, big taste.

Skyrocket burger will also be my go to burger spot in town. It is the best burger spot in town imo. The lady up front is always so nice and informative. There is little seating inside but people usually eat quick. This is a popular spot for lunch rush hour. I got the double burger with cheese with everything on it and added grilled onions. There are not much other places that you can find anymore that offer grilled onions and jalapeños for free! There must be some new rule happening now because they don't cook medium rare anymore like many other burger spots. That's fine, their medium is really good too. I usually get an egg but didn't this time. If you get their fries they give you a huge portion too

Best no frills burger spot hands down, super friendly staff and always fresh food. No notes!!!

Hidden in plain sight.This hamburger haven is exactly what you're looking for if you want an original burger. Scott the owner is very personable and makes your experience memorable. The menu is simple and easy to choose. Hamburger was outstanding and the French fries complimented the meal. I chose the root beer to duplicate my childhood memories. This is a throwback restaurant with emphasis on quality, service, and food. If you are at Coit and GBT 190 , turn in here and get a great burger. They have other locations too .

Great first visit to this burger joint. Homemade type burgers, great tasty fries and fresh fixings. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We had the single burger with cheese and large fries to share Definitely recommend it.

Really good hamburgers and fries. Quick service - even during the lunch rush. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Not a large dining room so best to come early or off lunch rush.

Hole in a wall type of place, but boy, do they serve good burgers. The Yummiest burger we have had that is below $10. Yey! It was juicy, flavorful, and big. The fries was okay too. We came in just before the dinner crowd, so we were able to find a seat. Line was almost to the door when we left. We will definitely be back.

There's something sacred about a burger done right. No gimmicks. No foie gras or truffle aioli masquerading as substance. Just meat, bread, salt, butter and a little bit of love. Sky Rocket Burger in Plano doesn't try to impress you. It doesn't have to. It just makes the best damn burger you've ever had in your life. Scott and his wife don't run a restaurant, they run a shrine. Walk in, and you're not a customer. You're a cousin, an old friend, a fellow traveler who's finally made it home. They greet you like family, because that's how they see you. And when that burger hits the table, blistered beef, still steaming, nestled between a bun that could only come from someone who gives a damn, you understand why. The meat? Ground fresh every single day. No shortcuts, no apologies. The fries? Double-fried to the point of obsession, golden and crunchy like they were forged in the fires of Mount Olympus by a fry cook with a chip on his shoulder and a point to prove. This isn't fast food. It's not artisanal food. It's real food. The kind that reminds you why we gather around a table in the first place. I love this place. And if you haven't been, drop what you're doing and go. Go hungry. Go grateful. And leave knowing you just tasted something honest.

The perfect burger dive with classic delicious greasy burgers that you can customize every which way. Great tater tots too!!

This place was totally unexpected. And I don't post a a lot on Yelp. This place was great. Nothing fancy just a great burger and fries. Fresh ground beef daily. With all the burger options in the area I can honestly say I'd go out of my way to eat at THIS burger joint.

If you want a wonderful burger this is the place to go. It hits every mark on what a delicious burger should be. I had the double cheeseburger and the cheese fries. There is a crispiness to the patties that elevates this burger from just a fast food burger. It has fresh topping. Yum yum yum. The workers are also nice and very helpful. We had a group of 6 and were very patient with us.

Easily one the best burgers in town!! You know a place is confident when they have a simple menu. You get the option of how many patties, cheese, and a few topping choices. Not saying that there aren't condiments and sides but this place is a pure beautiful burger shop. Definitely would recommend. The staff is super friendly and service is quick. From what my friends have told me, this location has been run by the same family for a VERY long time. The inside is small restaurant vibe.

We came by here for the first time .. this is a MUST YRY !! Hole in the wall - you know are the best !! Everything the menu says they live up to it !! The only thing i would recommend is get the secret sauce on the side ....the sauce is a different flavor especially if it's your first time .....but the flavoring of the patties has a very tasty flavor ....midway eating the burger the burger was warm to eat .. tater tots are very crunchy VERY ORIGINAL OLD BURGERS !!

The burger here is super, super, solid. Really one of the tastiest burgers I've had. Really simple burger also and the owners still work there and are super friendly. Pass on the fries though, the fries aren't great.

Very good homestyle taste! They went a little overkill on the mayo but I scraped it off and it was still good. Everything was fresh I'd go again.

Sky Rocket Burger and Fries, where have you been?!? It was so good and the staff were so friendly. It's a small place so if you come at lunch, you may have to wait for a table. Still thinking about the tasty burger!

Great food and service. The burgers were delicious! I called in an order and arrived about five minutes later; my food was ready in about 5 minutes. The hand cut fries were also fantastic.

This is my go to burger spot. The burgers are always delicious and we always receive great service!

Kind of a hole in the wall, but their burgers are amazing. Easily my favorite burgers in Dallas, and probably a top 5 spot in my life. Their onion rings and fries were also extremely crispy.

This was one of many stops on our dallas trip that came highly recommended. Located in a strip mall right next to a gas station, the outside is very unassuming. Atmosphere: inside is pleasant and about what you would expect from a hole in a wall burger joint. Food: Double Cheeseburger Add Bacon and pickled Jalapenos - toppings were excellent worth the upcharge for sure. The bun was soft pillowy and tasted great as well, Cheese right on point what you would want ooey gooey. The meat is where i felt the flavor lacked a bit just not enough seasoning for me, you can tell the quality of the meat is there it just needed a bit more. Fries - Better fries then these places tend to normally have, tasted fresh and the oil didn't taste old. Smaller Menu as it should have no issue here Sauce Tip: Ranch is a must, they do charge .50 Drinks: I completely dislike this brand of "real sugar" soda they have this all over california as well.. give me coke or pepsi over this anyday... Thankfully they offer a mexican coke bottle for purchase as well.. Price: honestly a bit pricey, everything seems to be rising in costs. All said and done you're in for burger fries and a drink at $20.00 which might be a bit much. Parking: pretty small lot as its a strip mall, we go lucky to find a spot. Service: Extremely nice owner, everyone inside was pleasant and seemed to be enjoying their meals. Overall a great burger choice if you are in Dallas

If you're craving a delicious burger, visit Sky Rocket! The place is your no frills kind of mom/pop place. It gets busy, so be prepared to park on the grassy area of the parking lot, and wait for a table (especially if you have a group larger than 4). This restaurant is counter served, but the lady working at the counter was super nice! Everything was absolutely delicious! Do not get greedy and order every and any sauce & roping to accompany your burger since they are complementary- it might end up tasting overwhelming (one of our friends did that and was disappointed in his burger). Anyway, the fries were hand cut and delicious, and the burgers were great! I loved the old fashion sodas they had as well!

Fantastic! After trying many of the most well-regarded burger joints around Dallas, Sky Rocket definitely has one of the top burgers. The fries were decent as well, and the prices were not too high. This location has a cozy vibe, with great food to match.

Came in for lunch on a Saturday- the restaurant was full with a short line. We were able to find a a table :) the owner was very friendly and the food came out quick! I really enjoyed my single original burger w/ fries. If you like a flat patty, this is the place! I really love that their menu is simple. Oh also love their fountain drinks!

August 2023 To go order placed right after 8. They close at 9. I wanted to like it but won't return to this location. Parking is shared in a small parking lot with other businesses. There is a smoke shop right beside it. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side. This one is the original location. There is another location in deep Ellum and I believe one is in the Frisco area. Staff is very nice. I loved the cashier. The gentleman, who I believe a customer said was the owner, was busy at work, making sure orders were taken care of. $36.04 for two burgers a large fry and two bottled water. The double was $10-11 by itself. Fries are a la carte- drink as well. We placed a to go order, because it was a tight fit inside and later we were glad we did because it was a little warm....and the line was right beside the table we chose to sit and wait at. I ordered a double cheeseburger and bottled water. She ordered a grilled cheese, add a patty, add bacon, add grilled onion. She couldn't get mayo added on, since this wasn't technically a burger, so she got a side of mayo and a side of the secret sauce, both an extra charge. The large fry was definitely enough to split between two people,...it may have been $4. I didn't finish my burger. Was a little disappointed. I truly believe that the taste of the bread overpowered the burger. I ate the meat by itself, and it was decent, but the bread's sesame seed was stronger than most, and the bun was SLATHERED with butter. Now do not get me wrong: I LOVE a good toasted bun. But this was too much. I didn't want to taste an overload of butter in each bite. The burger itself was quite greasy, as well. But that with the combo of butter was too much for me. The fries were mid- we didn't finish them. The grilled cheese, she said she wouldn't have to have it again. I will give it another try- possibly.... Maybe.... in Deep Ellum. It won't be anytime soon. Go try for yourself, though! Other reviews are good, and this may have been an "off night"

The burgers were fantastic!!! They were so juicy I just wish that I could they would cook them rare or medium rare!!!! Next time I will try the fries!!!

This is the best smash burger in Dallas hands down. Service is quick and the food is always on point. If you want a good burger that always delivers, this the spot.

Love the burgers. They say, "fresh, never frozen." The fries are not crispy enough. There was only one guy there so the service as slow. Small place. Think efficiency.

I overheard some clients talking about this place when they were choosing a place for a take-out lunch. Someone said, "What about Sky Rocket Burger?" As these are great folks, they asked me to stay for lunch, but I had another appointment. For some reason the name stuck with me. I next time I was at their office (behind Sam's Club, off of Coit Rd.), I searched Yelp for the location of Sky Rocket Burger. It was less than a mile away! I ate lunch solo that day, about a year ago. It was very good. A small place, and busy, but worth the wait. I enjoyed the burger and fresh-cut fries so much, that I took my wife back that weekend. She's a true Burger and Fries connoisseur, as well as huge fan of real, fresh-cut cries. She is a convert now too. Needless to say, we go back every time we drive by on a Saturday or Sunday on the way to her Mom's house, in Carrollton. If you're in the area and are hankering for a true, old-fashioned, juice running down your hand burger, give Sky Rocket Burger a try. If you're not satisfied, well... I don't know what to say. -thanks for letting me share.

Small, unassuming burger joint on the borders of Richardson and Plano. Brought the family in for a quick bite since no one had ever been here before. I had my eyes on those juicy burgers for a while. Fortunately for us there was no wait time as others mentioned. We were able to just go right up to the counter and order. The cashier was patient and helped walk my family through everything. My grandma mistook the ketchup at the counter for hand sanitizer and got it all over herself LOL anyway this place checks all the boxes and is a must try!

I've lost count of how many people have suggested I get a burger here or have asked if we've ever gotten a burger here. Fine, I finally said. We're getting a Sky Rocket burger and that's all there is to it. Yes, it's inconveniently far from home and work. Yes, it's a challenge to get out of the easily accessed parking lot to go back home. But once you bite into your burger those issues fall away. This is a GOOD burger. Really good. Worth driving to burger. Quit your whining and enjoy it burger. No shakes at this location. It's the OG and sticks to the menu basics.

One of the best burgers I've ever had. It was so delicious and the service was exceptional. Definitely worth going multiple times!!

I've been waiting to try this place out forever, but their schedules never match up with mine. They're closed on Sunday & Monday, which is when I'm typically in the area. Luckily, I had time to drop by on a Saturday to try them out! My boyfriend has been raving about this place for MONTHS, claiming it's his favorite burger in Dallas. After my visit, I can agree with him! The restaurant doesn't look like much, but we all know how looks can be quite deceiving. The workers are super friendly, and the menu is simple. You order your burgers (junior, single, double, or triple patties), add your free or premium toppings, a side of fries, and a drink. This isn't your typical fancy burgers, but something simple, like back in the 2000s. I got two single hamburgers, two fries, and a drink for $22. The place was popping when I dropped by. Despite them being busy, the burger came out in 10 mins, and the number of fries was no joke. They REALLY filled my fries basket, but I'm not complaining. They serve old classic sodas, along with some jalapenos for your burger. The house sauce was pretty good, and biting in that freshly grilled burger brings me back to my elementary days. The hand-cut fries were yummy as well. It seems like most of their customers are local, and they visit frequently. While eating, the owner checked each table to ensure we were doing great and managed some conversations with frequent customers. Take some time and drop by, you won't regret it!

This hole in the wall burger joint has the best burger in town, IMO. It is small and usually packed out, for a reason. I got the single cheeseburger with lettuce, tomatoes and pickles. You can choose grilled or raw onions, mayo and their special sauce. I got tater tots and my hus and got fries. The fries were fresh cut and could have used a little salt but were tasty. The tots were perfect. There is limited seating but the staff came around to check on everyone frequently. If you want a good, old fashioned burger, this is your spot.

We returned for the freshly ground meat burgers and they did not disappoint!Burgers were juicy not greasy and with fresh toppings. The seasoned fries were good too. The place was clean and bright and had country music playing. Don't miss this place for great burgers!

This is my favorite burger place ever. The owner is so friendly, and you can just tell they care about their customers. Every time I've visited, there hasn't been a wait, but I've seen reviews that mention a lunch/dinner rush. The restaurant itself is small and simple, but it's honestly the perfect setting for the amazing food that they serve. You can customize your burger to your liking with free toppings (onions, jalapeños, etc.)! We got the double burger this time, and like always, it was perfect. The burger is HOT when it comes out and crispy in the right places. Genuinely one of my favorite burger places I've ever been to! The food is beyond amazing.

This place is much nicer and cleaner than their other locations I've been to. The burger, of course, is just so delicious. Top burgers I've ever had. Come here.
