“ Food is that old school burger joint style, and they pull it off visually and tastefully. The service was fantastic, as were the other customers in line. It’s styled like an old drive thru too and fits the look perfectly. Really can’t praise this place higher, I stopped here on my way traveling and I am SO GLAD that I did! ”
“ Do not call in orders if you have to. Takes forever for them to answer the phone even when not busy. The young high school girls working their can be quiet rude specially when answering the phone. Food is great. Food is ready in no time. When ordering fries they can be undercooked often. I ask they cook them crispy. ”
“ What a beautiful day God created! The short drive to Jennings for a Rocket Drive In burger is definitely worth it! Blast burger, HOMEMADE onion rings and a peanut butter shake. They are super friendly and our food came out hot, fresh and pretty quick. Since it was such a pretty day, we decided to sit under the awning(outdoor seating only-no dine in). We usually get it to go or eat in the vehicle with ac. Our handmade burgers were the perfect size. Not too big to feel stuffed, just enough to be content. And the HOMEMADE onion rings were lightly battered and fried to perfection. My peanut butter shake was such a treat to finish it all off. They're definitely doing more than something right and absolutely worth the drive or slight detour when passing through. Y'all go check out The Rocket Drive In in Jennings, LA. You won't be disappointed. ”
“ This was a very good place. Price very fairly. You actually get your food and or ice cream or whatever you desire the way you order it. Seems to be family-run cost no more than going to dairy Queen or somewhere else much better than the other places though. I had gotten a cheeseburger fries and a Heath blizzard I do not think they are called blizzards there but I cannot recall what they are called it was very good though. I will be stopping here much more often now that I know that it exists. We did not wait long at all for our order to come out it appeared they only had two workers in there if you go to any of them other places that have 5 to 6 people working takes 20 to 30 minutes to get your food our wait time was only 5 to 10 minutes here was pleasantly surprised. ”
“ You wanna talk about a throwback to a simpler time, you talk about this place. It has that old school feel that makes you think about servers on roller skates. You pull up and hop out to order and you get friendly staff to greet you at the order window. Standard fast food fare. However it is made with care and quality that you can taste. I don't know when I will be back that way, but I will make a return trip. 9/10. ”
