Sky Rocket Burger is a burger joint that has a simple menu that consists of tasty burgers and shakes. It's a no-nonsense joint that let's you sit back and enjoy a good burger.
My Overall Rating - 4 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return)
Atmosphere - The location in Deep Ellum is a true dive. The good news is there is free parking, but seating inside is limited, although there are picnic tables outside. One of the bathrooms is very dark - even with the light on. But the walls are covered with names and signatures, and you're encouraged to add your own John Hancock. 1/2 Star.
Service - You place an order at a kiosk, or order from the staff. It's your typical fast casual restaurant. You order, grab a number, get a drink, sit down, and wait for your number to be called. Nothing great, but nothing bad either. 1/2 Star.
Food - The burger is delicious. You can order a single/double/triple + a sauce of your own liking. Like In-N-Out, Sky Rocket burger doesn't try to sell you several items from all over the place, opting instead to just pump out darn good burgers. The patty is super juicy, well-seasoned, and is paired well with a sesame seed bun and a mayo based sauce. I had high expectations for this burger, and Sky Rocket Burger passed with flying colors. For my side, I chose tater tots and a cookies and cream ice cream shake. The tots were perfectly crisp on the outside, and hot and soft on the inside. The shake was also great. I just needed a bigger straw. 2 Stars.
Will I Return? - Yes. The burger exceeded my expectations. Sky Rocket uses the In-N-out playbook to perfection. Simply offer a great, quality burger and I will come! 1 Star.
My Yelp Rating Scale (Sum of all parts):
1 Star - Atmosphere - Is it a cool dive? Perhaps an upscale place? No matter the type, atmosphere plays a big part and I'll give a star if I like it or thinks it has great charm.
1 Star - Service - You can have a great meal with bad service. But that's also what can make a five star joint drop to four. It's important to the dining experience that service is great and on point.
2 Stars - Food - I'll award up to two stars for the food, since this is the main reason we dine out. Sometimes the extra star is given for value, but it's really all about the food.
1 Star - Will I come back? - If I know for a fact I'll return, I'll give this a star. A place has to make an impression for me to return.
Each Category can be given up to 1 star except food (2 stars) because I consider all these categories important to the overall dining experience. I will sum them up to provide my final Yelp score.
