Rocket Dog Gourmet Brats & Brew

Don't waste your time here. A bunch of us went and each one was told they were out of an item by the same cashier that the next person in our late arriving group could order. They were out of salads all together, chicken dogs, French fries, and we waited 45 minutes for the macaroni dog. The server was rude when after 45 minutes we asked for the mad dog to be made to go because our group of 9 needed to leave. No more work lunches there.

Great juicy hot dogs, generous portions for salad, good fries. LA street dog- fresh grilled onions and bell peppers, with a juicy all beef dog with grilled bread. Comes with fries or chips. Unfortunately we didn't try the chips but they look home made. $13.25 Price is steep but the dog is worth itSide fries are all specialty fries. We ordered the fresh house made sweet potato fries, tossed in cinnamon and sugar. Non- sweet potato fries are probably made from frozen, so not as good. Buffalo blue fries - $6 $8, a little disappointing- formerly frozen fries (which is the standard fry) with blue cheese, buffalo sauce and ranch sauce. Still good, but a little plain. California Cobb salad $16 - every part was made well thought out - tomato slices, moist chicken, fresh bacon, egg over hard, generous amounts of blue cheese over a thin bed of spring greens. The only thing was, it could have used 2-3x the greens. I enjoyed the greens to balance out the other meals. Service was excellent. The guy was very attentive, friendly, and accommodating. Walked our food to the table. Table and high chair needed cleaning before use, but we also used the outside tables. Overall great experience if you're looking for some dive in hot dog, well thought out or some sweet potato's fries

During my first visit, I was impressed by the interactive chalkboard pillars inside the restaurant, which my daughter particularly enjoyed. It's safe to say that we'll be returning in the future, and here's why. The customer service and employee interaction were excellent. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming, and the staff was prepared to assist with any inquiries.I had a wonderful dining experience at a place with high-quality food. Although the prices were a bit high, the food was fantastic. The bacon avocado burger was juicy, flavorful, and made with real ground beef. The restaurant doesn't serve frozen patties; instead, they form the ground beef into a ball and smash it with a heavy spatula. The homemade chili was full of flavor that intensified with every bite. Come check them out !

So this was an experience that was about a 2-star for me, and about a 4-star for my three companions, so majority rules, even though I didn't have an enjoyable time and wouldn't go back.My three companions enjoyed their dogs -- they got a Banh Mi dog (chicken sausage sliced on a Banh mi roll with pickled vegetables) with chili fries (plenty of toppings and she really enjoyed those), a Danger dog (dog with barbecue sauce, cilantro, and sriracha) with chips, and a Firehouse dog (basically a chili dog with Fritos on it) and chips. Both orders of chips seems house-made and crispy and salty. Everyone but me enjoyed their food, and that should count for something!My food was disappointing. I got a Superfan which was basically a Chicago style dog. It had all the "standard" toppings but it was very heavy on the pickles and pepperoncinis, meaning that it was overwhelmingly vinegary / tangy and made the bun soggy. If there had been less of those toppings it would have been much better. It was not enjoyable.But the fries. The fries were a train wreck. I ordered garlic fries: I like all kinds of fries. I don't remember ever having a garlic fry I didn't like, whether it was fresh or powdered garlic. I'm easy to please. Shoe string fries were the base and they probably would have been perfectly fine on their own.But.They were covered with white slime. I assume it was intended to be garlic sauce? I didn't taste the garlic. I only experienced the fries as completely soggy, slimy, unpleasant and ruined. I went digging through to find some dry ones but they were very generous with the slimy sauce, unfortunately.Those fries were an abomination and I can't imagine a situation that someone would enjoy those. Do not under any circumstances order garlic fries or you will be sad.We went thinking we'd get beers but it looked like the draft set-up was just not operative and the cooler was almost empty. I remember seeing a couple of Michelin ultras but we weren't feeling that. So we ordered sodas instead, and there were almost no sodas available in the self-serve machine, most were out of order, but I do remember there was Coke and Coke Zero.The lack of beer and soda sent a message that this is a place in financial trouble, or not very well stocked. It was a depressing vibe.The people who worked there were perfectly pleasant. Very nice people, nice service. I wish them the best.But the ambiance was really unpleasant. Other than us, there was only one other person in there the whole time we were there. You might not even call him a customer, per se, because he didn't seem to have any food or drinks. He was talking to himself. God bless him and keep him. He was very dirty, and I want to emphasize he didn't bother anyone. But he couldn't seem to sit still-- he was up, down, up, pacing, going outside and inside, outside and inside. He just was a person in some kind of distress, in constant motion, and I wish him well, but that behavior was unsettling and it didn't make for a very pleasant or relaxing place to eat our extremely expensive (about 100 bucks for four hot dogs?) dinner.As I said, everyone else enjoyed their dinner. No one else seems to have complaints about the depressing / deserted vibe, the lack of customers, the lack of beer and soda choices, or their food. So I'll go with majority rule and give four stars.But ouch --it was an extremely unpleasant vibe for me, and bad food for me, and very high prices, and I'd never go back. I really wish every small business well, and there was a sign implying there was new ownership (or soon would be?), and so I hope these rough spots are related to the transition and that they will get it together.

All the dogs are amazing! Consider the brat for more flavor. The sides were alright, but the dog is the spotlight.

Great people who love their community, their customers and their doggies. Not to mention the hotdogs here are pretty amazing too! A lot to choose from on the menu and everything sounds so amazingly delicious. Not to mention the great beers on tap! Cool place, quaint but very cool vibe.

Alex was friendly and quick to take my order! I got the Apple salad and Rocket tots. Both are delicious. The Rocket tots are huge and also tasty! The salad had crispy chicken, candied walnuts and cranberries, on a bed of lettuce. Yum! The space had plenty of seating, inside and out, including tables and a long bar on the perimeter with stools. I will be back!

Great fries and Tots. I had ordered the Rodeo fries it was supposed to be shoestring fries but it was a little thicker than that. It was topped with BBQ sauces cheese, diced red onion, and bacon crumble. It was tasty and the portion was quite large, enough for two people. I ordered the Buffalo Bleu Tots, this was topped with bleu cheese, and a cream sauce. This was also good and the portion size is really where it is at. I say if you're up for fries and tots only come here. I also ordered the chicken tenders but these were just frozen one that you might find at the store. It definitely wasn't made there. I can say that service was good, food is decent, I can't says that I'd recommend this place. It did have a couple TVs but one was not working and the other was playing Karaoke music. All in all it's an average establishment and I can only recommend the tots at best.

We came here yesterday for lunch and it was very good. The service was terrific and they checked on us several times after the food arrived. We ordered the Chicago dog, chilli dog, and regular cheese burger. The Chicago dog and chilli dog were good. They were hard to eat because of all the toppings and the bun. The flavors were great but use a fork and knife to get the best bites. The burger was solid. The fries were solid and we liked them better than the homemade chips. Overall, if you are wanting a dog give this spot a try!

Service was good and the food was nicely done. We had two different dogs and the hamburger, and enjoyed them all. Be prepared to get messy!
