Rocky's

The fries are awesome and we had a good time picking the music using the touchtunes app. The only problem is that it can get very loud in here on a Friday night

A bit of a letter downer, which was a bit of a shame, since it's so close to where I'm living now!

They're a nice little sports bar, with a patio out back where I was seated with my party. There's a nice vibe out there, and we sat and enjoyed the breeze as we looked at the menu, which seemed quite varied and promising, and reasonably priced.

On a recommendation, I tried the meatball sandwich with a potato salad (which I thought would be a nice change of pace from fries). The meatball sandwich ended up being on a rather crusty piece of stiff bread, marinara sauce wasn't really much to making the bread any less difficult to bite into. The meatball was rather salty, and the sandwich altogether dried out in my mouth rather quickly. The potato salad ended up being relatively bland and vapid. There really wasn't too much redeeming in the meal, unfortunately, though it was something to eat at least.

When the bill came, while it wasn't necessarily their fault, the card machine stopped working, and when it comes to having not split a bill for a group of 8 students, having a non-functional card reader was a lot more of a headache for the group than I would have planned.

Oh well.

Practically spent all summer here...
I was staying at IIT during Institute this past June through the end of July and this lovely pace was a 10 minute walking distance from campus.

During the late night weekends this place was always packed! it was great coming out and hanging out with everyone outside of a professional setting.
If you're spending some time at IIT and would rather not catch a 45 minute train ride to Andersonville--- I would highly recommend Rocky's for the evening.
