For sure Rocks is a neighborhood staple. They have been around for quite a few years and it’s no surprise that they have regulars. The food is great, the staff is super friendly & the vibe is chill. Make sure to check this place out if you’re in the area for a cubs game too! I give this 5⭐️ Jerry the pigeon gives it 5.5⭐️
Overall, it’s a decent place. Service was prompt, food was quick. Good, local beer available, which is a plus. Food was okay. I had a burger, which I’m pretty sure was just made with two frozen Sysco or US Foods patties. The toppings were decent though. I just wish that a place that advertises its burgers would make their own and be able to do a good smash burger. The grilled cheese and chili were both great. Great neighborhood place to go grab a couple beers and some food if you just want something easy and casual and live in the area.
ROCKS is a fantastic place with good food and good atmosphere for dates, family, or just for chilling. All of their burgers are cooked perfectly. Lots of flavor, nice and juicy. It's about what you'd expect to pay downtown for a decent meal/drink venue. Whiskey is a bit high since it is a legit "whiskey bar", but they have a vast selection to choose from. Their bourbon is also top notch. Can't go wrong with the cocktails either. Staff is also great here. Very chill. Parking is hard to find in the area since it's close to Wrigley. Choose a good time to walk, dress appropriately for weather. One of my favorite spots in the city. *The Chicken Caliente is a Firehouse heat rating. Get the ROCKS' Burger, local favorite, if you're unsure. They also have a "burger of the month" here.*
Good food. My wife loved the variety of available dipping sauces. My burger was great. The waitress was nice and got order right. Outdoor table was decorated nicely with flower boxes.
The chicken tenders are bomb! First time here with friends and it was awesome. Great beer selection! Two thumbs up.
