Sports???. Has anyone that has voted for this place actually been there? I have been there three times in the last 6 weeks and every time the tvs are so messed up that you can hardly see the picture and if you arent in the bar area you cant even see them.

Great ambience for hanging out. Sat "at the bar" which is this huge open area of tall tables and TVs nearby for watching sports. The food portions were HUGE - the spinach dip was DELISH. I ordered the chicken ceasar salad and barely finished half of it. we had the stout cheesecake - REALLY GOOD cheesecake with a slight flavor of stout. Definitely different, definitely good. I would recommend this restaurant to family and friends

3 Thumbs up!!. Their Raccoon Red is one of my favorite beers, and their Seasonal IPA (St. Nick's 9.8-10%) is my absolute favorite. Great place to hang out and grab a few beers. Their Brown Ale Chicken is EXCELLENT. Waitresses and Bartenders are very courteous and always have a smile on their faces. People complain that they don't get seated on time, and that's because it's crowded. Well, why do you think it's crowded??

The Customer is NOT Right @ Rock Bottom. ROCK BOTTOM MGMT SAYS: "Customer is not right"

-------------------------------------------------

If you are going here with with a party 4 or fewer, you should be fine. I HIGHLY recommend not coming here if you are a party larger than 8.

Service gets REALLY REALLY slow. Management prefers not to take reservations (between 6:30-9:00), yet forgets to train their employees to follow that policy as well. Had a group of friends show up for my 30th B-day party and the reservations made a week earlier were no longer

valid. Why? Don't know.

Plus, the discrepencies on the bill fell on death ears because management stood their ground even though there were over a dozen witnesses proving their error.

Go there if you're a small party. The employees are nice and friendly, but well trained on company policy. Can't same the same for their bosses'.

Too many on the Rock!. I thought the Beer was Great!!! But the service was lacking in all areas because of the crowd. 35 minuets on a thursday night at 6:00pm. Either they need to expand or they need to start accepting reservations. But boy I'll tell you the steak was PHAT. It was Great. The beer was better and the potatoes were "delish". I would recomend it to any one who asked. But just remember it's a place to go when you have and extra 45 monuets to spend in the bar having a brew!!! Rock on!!!
