Roc's Restaurant and Lounge

I don't understand the bad reviews... I have never had a bad experience at Roc's. Only place in Charleston where they know how to mix drinks. When I get food, granted, I only order one thing. Sirloin rare with loaded baked potator and Cab. Their coffee drinks are good too. Plus, wifi. Like I said, I don't understand the bad reviews- definitely a step above all the other bars in Charleston.

Cool building, bland food. Didn't grab a drink while I was here, but I can see it being a nice place for students who want to hang out and do so. Plenty of room to sit and chill, BUT...

If you're hungry, stay away unless your fridge is empty and everything else in town is closed. Even the waiter looked apologetic when he saw we were there to eat. I had the BBQ sandwich, and so did my husband. It was a sad state of affairs. The meat wasn't marinated in the sauce, and my sauce tasted no better than what I could find at a grocery store. My husband had the "special secret homemade sauce" and it was so disgusting, he didn't finish his sandwich. I tasted it for comparison--it pretty much tasted like ketchup mixed with hickory BBQ. Probably kept a secret to hide the fact there was nothing "special" about it.

Did I mention the food was Chicago pub prices? Har, har, very funny, guys. You got me. But not again.

its a college area bar and lounge, get over it, you are not getting Zagat rated food here.  
ate there twice, on a visit to see our daughter.  Its fine.  service quick. and they have a decent spirits selection.  
extra bonus-great people watching the weekend of Halloween!
