I've come here a handful of times & each time it was a great experience! The service was fast and they have good happy hour options as well as lots of local beers.
We started with loaded tots, it was exactly as advertised & delicious. Crispy tots, bacon, cheese, all the good stuff! It is a good amount for a happy hour app.
I had the shaved prime rib sandwich and switched out the fries for Brussels since we started with the loaded tots. The Brussels weren't crispy like I'm used to, but it was still flavorful. I think they probably sauté them rather than frying them like

Everything was good, did takeout: recommend pretzels (they're the size of a small infant). Place was packed when I went to pickup, so if you are trying for a quiet night out, I don't recommend it. Burgers needed a little something something (cough cough seasoning cough cough), but otherwise everything was great. Surprised since this is essentially a sports bar that they didn't have chicken strips, but had most of these other bar staples.

Our server was really nice and did great. Outside of that, this place is a food disaster. We went for lunch. My fish and chips was the worst I've had in the area. The fish seemed like it was dipped frozen and was very watery and slightly undercooked inside the batter. The Cole slaw was sweet. Not vinegar based as you'd expect with F&C. My wife's wrap was also very soggy and not appetizing. The fries were average at best. The portions were unnecessarily large. My son ordered kids boneless wings. (He actually likes wings, bone in and out) they were just nuggets with ketchup. It was fairly empty at

I dined there before and enjoyed it, but today I called them to ask if I could bring my service dog inside the restaurant. I told Carlos the manager that I have documentation that my dog is a small dog that is an emotional support dog with documentation verifying that he is a service animal. Carlos said that large seeing eye dogs are allowed but any emotional support service animal is NOT allowed in the restaurant. This policy is absurd, especially because the restaurant is very casual and a sports bar. Pet owners should be aware of this restaurant's insensitive policy.

First impression, the floor plan was nice and it was clean. I liked the outdoor seating area and the indoor tables with the view of outside. Service was good. Looking at the menu, I was excited because everything seemed as though it would be great to try. I ordered the ribeye. Boy was I disappointed. It tasted as though everything was charred, but no actual flavor to the meat or vegetables outside of that. A1 helped a little. The fish was a little burnt on the outside flavor wise, but was gooey on the inside. The fries and gouda potatoes were good. Overall, I guess if you're drinking, the

We went to the restaurant at 1:30 for lunch and was greeted with a Brunch Only menu which was very limited! Typical for Sundays but on a Saturday? Not something we're looking for on a Saturday. If that were the case we would have gone next door to IHOP. We wanted a normal menu for lunch. We were told that we could not order outside the Brunch menu even though on line they have a much bigger selection and no word of ANY time restrictions for availability of menu items. Kitchen said No Way to our request for on line menu options. Our server asked. We were told the regular menu would not be available

Stopped here for a quick bite with my fiancé and our two children. Inside was bright and welcoming, with a nice decor. There were a lot of great menu options to choose from, as well as drinks. We ordered a few apps, kids menu items and entrees which all came out delicious. . Not only did we enjoy the food but we enjoyed our experience. Our server Colin was courteous, charismatic and attentive and provided the service everyone should receive when eating out. He handled the couple of forgotten items from the kitchen very well and was super apologetic. I felt valued as a customer and Will definitely

I really enjoyed the meal. The flavor was not exceptional but did taste good. I had the cheese burger with beacon. I liked their specialty fries, thru were crispy,thick, and fluffy inside. The ranch was amazing too. They have huge portions. I wenton a Thursday at 3pm and it was empty. I'd come again.

My friend and I dined at Rockwood on a sunny Sunday evening. We sat inside (allergies) and appreciated the clean interior and fully masked staff.
Menus were available via QR code. They didn't have any specials.
I had a black Cherry mule which was very refreshing. For my entree I had the butternut squash salad with grilled shrimp and balsamic vinaigrette. The salad was delicious- a great mix of flavors. I'm glad I added the shrimp as it was lighter on squash than I expected given it was in the name. I took 1/2 home to save room for the coffee cake with Carmel syrup for dessert

The customer service here is absolutely awesome. Our server truly made us feel welcome and was super friendly. We started by ordering an Orange Crush for me and the Mango Coconut Margarita for my SO. Both were pretty good and I decided to order a grapefruit crush, which was not the best unfortunately. I asked to see if i could replace it, and our server said no problem. I got the mango coconut margarita and it was great.
For the food, we got their nachos with ground beef and sweet potato fries. Both items were fine, with the nachos having ample toppings and meat, while the sweet potatoes were

My fiancé and I went to Rockwood for the first time and were very disappointed. I just want to start by stating that we could see into the kitchen and the chef was wearing his mask under his chin the entire time we were there. I ordered the jambalaya and my fiancé preferred the short rib. The jambalaya very obviously came out of a microwave based on how quickly it came to the table and the fact that it was too hot to eat for 5 mins after being on the table. Instead of seasoning the meal they just added spice, but behind the spiciness was blandness. To top it off the dish had almost no meat in

TL;DR: Good food, good service, lots of TVs, so good for a game day hangout
When this place first opened, I had been here once before for drinks at the bar and some bar bites. The drinks were expensive, but so delicious, and the food was pretty good!
I finally got a chance to try this place for dinner. It was late on a Thursday night, and there were a decent amount of people eating, drinking, and watching the games.
After reading a lot of the reviews, I told myself going in, not to be surprised if the service was bad. Maybe I just got really lucky, but our server (Brian) was awesome. He was

I've visited Rockwood a couple of times now. Both times it was sort of an organized chaos - which is to say both times it was very noisy and busy in the restaurant.
The first time I visited, I came in for dinner. I sat at the end of the bar near the food expediting area and ordered their nachos and an ale.
The quantity/size of the Nacho was substantial. It was way more food than I could eat. I commented to the bartender that they should advise folks who order this - what they are getting into. That order could have fed 2-3 people!
The second visit was on a Sunday morning. They have a Brunch
