This place packs so much awesome into their food, they simply can't stay open more than a few hours per day!
The poutine is the best I've ever had, and the burgers are incredible --made to order and perfectly juicy. The milkshake was good, but Peter's milkshakes are better.
Thankfully, I live nowhere near Rocky's Burger Bus, because I if I did I would always be eating here. And since the calories in poutine rivals the redline of a tachometer, my heart thanks me. -

The burgers are decent here, but I'm not as enthusiastic as most on here and have to say that I don't understand all of the hype. I can make way better burgers at home with ground beef, salt, and pepper. And, IMO the burgers at 5 Guys are way better than Rocky's.
Also, they need to do something with those dumpsters that are located right by the picnic tables... THOSE THINGS STINK, i almost got sick when I was sitting there trying to eat my burger. -

Love Rocky's Burger Bus! When I'm in the mood for a real hamburger I'll drive up 11th st to 42nd ave and find that Big Red Bus. The meat in this burger is a good 2 inches thick! I try to finish it everytime, and everytime I fail. Fries are pretty good here too, I found I had to go back and put more seasoning salt and malt vinegar on the fries halfway thru. Must go sometime and try the onion rings or poutine.

well after reading the reviews and loving burgers i was close to the area and stopped by on a warm September day for a Rockey special, Burger fries and pop for 9$
Fries were great and flavorful , hot and crisp..... ( will try the onion rings nest but wish there was a smaller option for smaller price)
the Burger was juicy, BIG hot and fresh... but it was missing " something" it felt like it needed a little "extra" in the seasoning... because i was such a thick burger and lots of meat... it did taste a little "plain" i added some seasoning salt for the fries and some pepper and it helped.
i will be going back next time im in the area. -

As we put in our order today, I looked over at the grill and saw the mega-patties and the fresh cut fries going into the fryer beside it. Niagara falls started in my mouth. Ordered the single and poutine with a vanilla shake. My friends put in their order and we were told about 15 minutes so we went over to the farmer's market beside the bus. As an aside - picked up 10 super sweet corn at unbelievable price - 5 stars for this undiscovered gem!!
Anyways, back to Rocky's - burgers were really good. Just good fresh meat with a tiny bit of filler to bind it. Vanilla shake was really good as well, BUT: THE POUTINE - UNBELIEVABLY GOOD. REAL CURDS - yes, REAL CURDS. Puts the squeak into each bite, and the gravy was just right, not too salty or overpowering. They also put gravy and curds halfway down this huge take-out container. For $5, you have to try this, be warned - it may be addictive.
Could not finish it, no way. But what I did have was amazing. Good, fresh and decadent.
There are a couple of picnic tables, and a huge grassy area to sit and eat. On a blue-sky warm Alberta day, can't ask for more. Just wear sweatpants. Trust me. -

Let me unbuckle my belt.. that's the biggest patty I've ever eaten. Not the biggest burger, because that would have to include the bun and toppings, but I swear the patty was at least 2 inches thick.
I ordered me a bacon cheese burger from this old bus-turned-grilled and a side of onion rings. I peeked in through the window while I was waiting for my order to see a grill full of patties all the simmering up together. That's a whole lot of meat. Just over ten bones for my meal (no drink). I'll admit Rocky's does a pretty decent burger. I'm not sure it constitutes being #1 on my list of the best burgers, but the place has character and it was a filling lunch at any rate. -

Ladies and Gentlemen!
Painted red in the corner of an expansive gravel lot and weighing in at approximately 30,000 pounds is the undisputed champion of burgers in Calgary......Rocky's Burger Bus!
This converted school bus in an industrial park in the southeast serves up deliciously juicy charred hamburgers, heavenly hand cut French fries, and thick creamy milkshakes at a price that won't KO your bank account.
It may not KO your bank account, but Rocky's Special - which consists of a cheeseburger, fries and a pop costs a mere $8 - will surely knock you out with its freshness and quality. When you're the undisputed champ, you're bound to have countless fans, and Rocky's Burger Bus is no exception, so expect a little bit of a wait. And you should probably expect to eat your grub in or on your car, as there's just a few picnic tables available and you've gotta get lucky to snag one for yourself.
Not since the Partridge Family was rollin' in the 70's has a bus been making such sweet, sweet music.
So, if you wanna "Get Happy", get to Rocky's Burger Bus! -

Fresh meaty burgers, excellent double cooked fries and great gravy. Come in the summer and enjoy the sounds and smells of the industrial area or in the winter steaming up your windows with juicy goodness, either way just come enjoy a real burger.
If you come on a weekday, try and time your visit before 12 or after 12:30. The lineups on a nice day can be pretty insane.
