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.
Review Source: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.
Awful place to eat. Looks like a nice, quaint bar and would only go back to the bar side to have a drink with a friend.
The food was just awful and the service was even worse. $9 for a Reuben with old, dry meat and funky plastic tasting 1000 island dressing, probably Sysco. My mom ordered the fish and chips aka fish nuggets. I don't understand where restaurants like this get off at charging a somewhat premium price for absolute crap food.
Along with the food, the service was absolute crap.
TERRIBLE!! This place just sucks!!! But so does every place else in this town. If you like greasy, poorly prepared food with no flavor... hit ROC's!! You'll love it. Garbage, pure garbage!! Other recent website reviews include: "Very pedestrian food. Uninspired and overpriced for the quality you get." "We went to Rocs for the second time on Friday night. My chicken was raw, red not just pink. The waiter took it back to the kitchen and I still paid for it. Half the chicken was on the plate. They did not offer anything off our bill. We will not go back, twice is enough." "The Only Thing worse than the food is the horrible service." "Rude Service and Mediocre Food: I have been to Roc's many times over the years (only when others insist we go there for lunch or dinner), and I can honestly say I have never gotten food that wasn't cold and bland. If you are one to order steaks, expect to get a bite or two of lean meat and a plateful of fat and gristle. The service is often rude, the food is generally prepared badly, and the cleanliness of the tables, dishes, etc. is questionable. The management seems to be very unprofessional and I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone (that I like)."
Review Source:Well, Top of Roc, is well, above Roc's Blackfront....and is a bar only, unlike downstairs which is a bar and restaurant.
I don't know why my roommates and I didn't go to Top of the Roc more when we went out....the place is a blast. There is always a mixed crowd in there, which is a rarity at Greek-obsessed EIU.
Like I said, always a good time, always good booze....no real complaints for this bar.
