Abby was our server, and she was really friendly, and you can tell she likes her job. The Mac and cheese with brisket was quite good. The restaurant is a bit dated but very comfortable for dinner. The lighting was pretty dim for those of us with aging eyes. Overall, it was a really good place for a well prepared meal and friendly staff.

Really cool restaurant. Either sit in the bar, outside patio, or one of many indoor dining rooms. Food was hot and delicious. Great beer selection. Service was friendly and food came out fast. Really can see myself coming back soon.

We have eaten here twice and have not been disappointed! The food is great with decent portions and prices. The live music was great (until 10pm) in the outside seating area where we moved to after eating in the dining room. Cocktail choices are fun and I enjoyed my special! Something here for everyone!

Upscale Restaurant with a great "Sports Bar" feel. I have been patronizing this establishment on a near nightly basis as of late. I am staying at the Hotel adjacent to this property for a work project, and have been eating here about 5 days a week! The pictures included in the review are an extensive view of available menu items. The service here has been above reproach! We have dined here as a party of 4 to 9 guests nightly, and the service has been exceptional! The servers have been friendly and upbeat on every occasion. Amelia, Katie and Amber receiving mention in particular, as standouts for going out of their way to enhance the experience here. The Menu is a great mix of entree and appetizers to allow portions size for most Diners. Plating of the meals here deserves a mention as well. Attractive presentation has been the norm. This restaurant gets very busy at times, but appears to be adequately staffed, wait times have not been excessive. Please browse the attached gallery of pictures. My many pleasant visits allow an extensive look at the menue and facilities.

We had the absolute best experience at Rockwoods for our wedding! The venue is beautiful, and the staff made our day so easy and stress-free. One of the best parts was that they set up and took down all of our décor, so we could truly enjoy every moment without worrying about the details. Everything ran so smoothly, and we felt so well taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue and would highly recommend Rockwoods to any couple looking for a beautiful, seamless wedding day!

From the very beginning of the planning process to the moment we left on our wedding night, the entire Rockwoods team was absolutely amazing. They made everything feel so easy and stress free, which is exactly what you want when planning such a big day. The staff went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of. We were able to truly enjoy our wedding day with our family & friends because we knew we were in great hands. The venue was beautiful, the food was incredible, and our guests kept complimenting how much fun they had and how great everything was. A huge thank you to the Rockwoods team for helping make our wedding day everything we dreamed of. We would choose Rockwoods over and over again and cannot recommend them enough! 🤍✨

We hosted our employee recognition banquet at Rockwoods! We couldn't have asked for a better experience! The food was delicious, the room was elegant and had technology perfect for our occasion! Our servers for the evening Nicole and Amber took care of our entire group flawlessly! I would highly recommend this venue to anyone! We will definitely be back!

Made reservations for Father’s day, but ended up sitting on the patio with the live music. Was very good. Family of 5, we had mahi mahi tacos, pizza, fish and chips, dill pickle cheese curds and I had the smoked brisket and turkey with sweet potato tots. Everything was amazing! The music was great! And best of all, we had the privilege to meet Suzanne the magician! She is on point with her close up magic! So amazing! She wowed not only each of my kids with a trick tailored to them, but my wife and I were amazed as well! She has the best personality and was such a blessing and wonderful surprise to meet her. She is famous! She said she does magic most Sundays here, so come check her out! Plus the food is good too :-)
