Rolling Rock Cafe

I was introduced to "the rock" by a group of friends who insisted, "you've gotta see this place". Sure, I thought, just once. My first reaction was WOW!! Where did they get all this stuff? The memorabilia is AMAZING, and well worth a look. The friends i dined with had that "I told you so" look on their face. We were greated and lead to our table by a very pleasant waitress, who reminded us that happy hour was about to end. The 1/2 priced drinks went down a treat, as did the HUGE family pizza (big enough for an extended family!) that we ordered. At the table next to us, a guy seemed to be struggling to get through the eye fillet steak stack, which he told us was delishious. As a whole Fantastic atmosphere, excellent service, very reasonably priced ($2 stubbies, and $4 margaritas during happy hour, and family pizzas under $20) If I had to make a suggestion, it would be for a little more room between tables. Overall 4.5 stars. I would recommend it to anyone.

The second time I ate there I had the American Style Marinated Spare Ribs, and unfortunately they were woeful. First they were not marinated. Secondly they were not cooked poperly.

At $30 for the plate of spare ribs that were not tender at all and should have by all rights been cooked to practically fall of the bone, was a real disappointment. My partner had the lasagna and said the meal was way too large. I would suggest they offer half portions at a reduced cost. For instance a half portion of a $20 meal for $12.50 or similar. The staff is attentive and pleasant, and they ...read more
