"Everything about On The Rocks is huge - the space, the television, the patio, beers, the American menu - everything. Also good to note: there’s a kids movie room for when you need to the freedom to say whatever you want when Jared Goff inevitably (and quite literally) drops the ball." - kat hong, james montgomery

Decent bar food. We really like the atmosphere with the rock and more natural type settings both indoors and outdoors. Huge plus for the staffing level, two bartenders and plenty of servers who were very friendly and kept on top of things.

Food was fresh and clean just not the best. Wasn’t bad just not great. Service was great, had two waitresses. Atmosphere was excellent, everyone was friendly, there was a outdoor patio - dog friendly- and a beautiful waterfall

Thus place was surprisingly good. Our waitress was top notch and could hold her own with our jokes. Very friendly staff and the food materializes in minutes. Traditional bar food with a flair. Pizza was very good light crispy, and delicious. Cobb salad was deconstructed to perfection. The Ahi tuna was cooked to perfection. They have a good selection bourbonl and tequila. They have my reco.

The only reason that I give this a 3 is if you go there for the UFC fights, be prepared NOT hearing it. Which is the main reason I go there. The food is great, and the service is ok, and as long as you don't go for the fights, it's great. But DAMN! The ONLY time the sound doesn't work is for the fights.

Went with a couple of co-workers every Friday. We go out for a happy hour. Somewhere in the area we came here and found the staff to be really intentive. The atmosphere was incredible, and we had a great time.I would highly recommend this establishment

Was in town on mtgs & was looking for a bar for a quick beer & bite. Nice bar seating & happy hour menu. I got two sliders - one chicken & burger & it was just the perfect amount. My beer was cold & crisp. So all and all, met expectations.

We were in the mood for a Bloody Mary. Heard this place had great ones. After having a fabulous one in New Mexico it’s hard not to compare them. I wouldn’t say it was great but it was good. It was quiet in the bar, not crowded for a Sunday with nfl games on. Wasn’t in the mood for bar food so we just had 1 drink.

Good food, although sadly that evening it was understaffed. There were only 2 people running around the entire restaurant. Nice big bar and entertainment is always good. Parking is fair, and prices are decent.

Excellent spot for parties or large groups & sports teams . Live music several nights a week too . Great service & solid food choices. Pizza is good & burgers are great . The Brussels sprouts & the homemade brownies are note worthy

We've come to watch live music a couple of times. Last night we came to see one of our favorite bands - The Belairs Rock and Soul Band, their first time playing here. As always, they sounded great, the acoustics in the restaurant are great, I love the dance floor, it's easy to dance on. The food was great. We had the Brussel sprouts which my friend inhaled, the ahi burger ( they could have heated the bun, otherwise it was good), the chicken wrap, and the chopped wedge salad with added chicken. The servings are generous especially the added chicken for the wedge salad. The waitress was great, despite her being the only one , she handled it well. We will definitely be coming back and especially if the Belairs Rock and Soul Band play. They had the dance floor rocking!

What a fun place! Live music on Friday nights is a must try! The place was packed by 7'ish so make a reservation to ensure seating or get there early. The manager was VERY accommodating and so friendly, she was working the floor all night making sure guests were taken care of. Our server was also superior! The menu has many options, which includes a great Happy Hour menu and prices were reasonable. Although the place was very busy we were comfortable with room to enjoy the band and also dance.

Soup & pretzel it was so YUMMIELOUS. My cousin got chicken Alfredo she said it was very creamy and tasty. My sister got 3 sliders Beef, chicken & meatball. Those were great except for chicken My sister said it was lil dry. Drinks are WONDERFUL!!! IT'S the playoffs noisey is very loud. One guy was very mean toward us. So we moved to another area away from him. It's best to move before words are exchanged

Come here often on Sundays after soccer games with my teammates. Today a few of us came after pickleball. The staff is always friendly and kind. Today only the bar area was crowded but on Sundays it's usually a packed house. Average noise even during football season. Today I ordered a double burger lettuce wrapped with a salad and their bacon wrapped shrimp. I really enjoyed all my food. It hit the spot. The bacon wrapped shrimp are dynamite. They were perfectly crispy. Will definitely order those again.

First, this restaurant is special because it's where I met my husband 8 years ago :) Food - Always good. My favorite is their house made spinach/artichoke/jalapeño dip served with fresh warm bread & chips. Service - Friendly Ambiance - Changes .. sometimes it's loud and low key rowdy ... other times it's quiet and peaceful ha! Either way we always enjoy it. The patio with the waterfall and warmers is really cool.

If you like live music, try this place. I'm not sure what days they have the live band but it starts at around 8pm. They also have food selection and variety of drinks. Ample amount of parking space.

Bustling sports bar vibes on the inside and cozy, quiet vibes on the outdoor patio, which is wrapped with a creek-like water feature. Service is always fast and friendly. Food and drinks are hit or miss. All of their well drinks are vile, so stay away from those. The beef skewers are good, but the pretzels are terrible.

Came here to meet up with a friend I hadn't seen in years and they live close by and this is their go to place It's definitely a dive bar but it was great when we went It was a weeknight and I had no idea they closed early but we stayed til closing and the server was attentive and came over and the vibe is what you expect with TVs and music The food was pretty good although I mainly got appetizers but they did the job to go with my drinks I would go again for sure here

Nice staff but horrible food. The food is wayyyy over priced. Plus it's just not good. I rated the wings a 3/10 and the Philly cheese sandwhich a 2/10. Cool ambience. But that's it.

Owner needs to take action. I do like this place, they do offer a variety of choices, but... They close at 8pm!! Regardless of the Google timeframe of 11pm, they start cleaning at 7:15pm, do last food call/kitchen closes at 7:30pm, and last alcohol call at 7:45pm. We challenged this at last alcohol call at 7:45pm and the bartender (a male on 2/27/24) told us this is standard and what they do during weekdays, without apology for the website being incorrect. Would not recommend this place on a weekday due to this. It's 8:02pm as I write this and we're paying the bill.... Would've ordered $100 more, minimum. Owner needs to update the hours or fix your staff expectations!!

This place is amazing! Great food, great rooms, great pricing. We aren't from the area and stayed there randomly due to a storm hoping for a local cheap motel. What we found was an oasis with a full menu, great bar, and game room for everyone, there's even an outdoor pavilion with games. The staff was unbelievably welcoming and had everything anyone could want. The views from the rooms are incredible and the service is A+.

This place is in our business center so it's a no brainer when we can't decide what we want to eat for lunch. They have great salads, lots of bar food, and of course a full bar...for those days when you have something to celebrate...or not! In our case we were celebrating Fri-yay!!

We've been going to OTR for years. Local. Convenient. Good food and great service. But tonight was a different story. My husband ordered the chicken quesadilla. The chicken was dry and there was hardly any cheese in the quesadilla. Very dry! My sister in law ordered The Rocks burger. It was raw on the inside, and charcoaly on the outside. Terrible. We also ordered the nacho appetizer platter and it was just plain awful. My Ahi Burger however, was tasty. And my son's French Dip was also very good. Not sure what's going on at OTR. We've always been very happy with their food. In fact, in the past it was awesome. But tonight, it was not. With that being said, our server Kayla, was amazing. Prompt. Kind and courteous.

Such a cute place, it looks like you're somewhere camping. Rock walls, fireplaces and a big nice waterfall outside. Our bartender was super nice and attentive. Drink prices are steep and crap quality like a dive bar. Good pretends to be fancy with cheesy set ups and garnishes. We've eaten here a handful of times and it's so pricey for what you get. This time we got the ceviche. It's not traditional, they use precooked shrimp with a little juice and lime. Really bland but that's what hot sauce is for. It's a small dish and should be no more than $11. The salads are pricey, sandwiches are too and nothing to write home about. Just your typical bar food. We like the vibe here and it's always packed on game days and happy hour.

My husband and I have been going to this place for a while now and we love the place. In face we went last night for our date night and saw our friends play(Hollywood Blonde). The owner Cindy was awesome, very professional and so were the other staff. It was dark(ambient )and we were hungry when we arrived so we ordered right away and when the food came, we ate and didn't have time to take pics of them. I always order my favorite Grilled Salmon with Sautéed Veggies and Mashed potatoes. My husband had Jambalaya over pasta. The chef did a wonderful job. We had so much fun with dinner and dancing. I highly recommend this place for date nights or if you just want to go out with friends.

We have been coming here for happy hour once a month!!! Loved everything about this hidden gem. Food, service, prices, quality and live music all in one. Great options for seating, if with a date, or a group, or just dinner or drinks, this place has it all! I really enjoyed the shrimp covered bacon, OMG TO DIE FOR!! The guac they serve with it, it truly amaze balls! Its like melt in your mouth! I also like everything else! The rocks combo is always a great one to get too, if you're undecided! My go too meal is the Chicken Pot Pie.. The crust is buttery and very flaking. The inside has chunks of chicken with just the right amount of peas and carrots. You can never go wrong!! The bar and outside is very lovely! The parking is spacious and the to go boxes are always the best part hahaha... We shall be back!!!

Good luck trying to get a small table during UFC events if there's not at least 4 of you, the hostess will only allow you and your friend to go stand in the bar area (has happened multiple times) The kids play room is next to the men's restroom which is kinda creepy

The food and atmosphere here is great. The place reminds me of a mountain lodge and there's a waterfall by the patio. I sat at the bar and Danielle was working. She is fantastic with great drinks and the best personality. I would highly recommend this place. Dave

Had a good date night with my wife on a Saturday night. Sat at the bar and we were taken care of immediately by the bartender. Ordered a Heineken 0 and it was nice and cold. Food was very tasty and was freshly made and served hot. Overall great service like we had before which was years ago but we highly recommend it.

The thought kept popping up "It can't be that bad cause it's crowded". No. Wrong, wrong. The service is very fast. The staff are moving quickly between tables. I received a menu almost as soon as I sat, and the drinks were there lickety-split, fast after ordering. Top notch service. There is an artificial waterfall making loud noise on the outside patio. No gentle trickles here. My girlfriend liked her lemon drop (she is skinny as a rail and far less of a foodie than I am). The drinks are meh. The martini was not adequately shaken if it was at all. I asked and paid for quality vodka in my 2nd drink. It tasted no different than the first. The food was icky. We had chicken sliders. The chicken meat was the color of salmon and tough. Pink chicken seems to be impacted chemically somehow. I took a bite and was done. The Brussels sprouts were black but not crispy, overcooked and covered in what tasted like pure honey. What a disappointment. No way will I return.

My family absolutely loves On the Rocks! Their service is amazing! The entire staff is super friendly. Their menu is awesome because it has great variety at a great price and we have never had anything we didn't love. The establishment is very clean and family friendly. When they have live entertainment it's always a hit. This is not only our favorite local spot, it's also the perfect place to watch a game. Thank you to all of you at On The Rocks! You are all amazing!!

Eating in the patio at this amazing place always makes me feel I am at Big Bear. It is so peaceful with running water , rocks for the water to run over, great Happy Hour 3 to 6 good food and an extremely friendly staff who goes out of their way to be helpful. I'd like to give you an example of their thoughtfulness. I had put my cane next to the railing , it fell into the water and our server, Everett went after it with a smile. This was no easy maneuver as he had to walk around, then climb down the wet rocks and hung over the water to retrieve my cane. This is a one of a kind place to eat. Amber is great too, as is everyone else.*****

Went in about 15 minutes before happy hour began on a Thursday with the MLB playoffs on and the NFL. 1 waitress for the whole dining area, again Thursday night with lots of sports on. I dealt with it for 2 hours and then had to get out. Took 15 more minutes to get my bill. Never going back and I live 5 minutes from this place

Came here during quarantine and they had a nice seating area set up outside in the parking lot as well as a big dining patio! Our service was a little slow, but that's expected as things started to open up again. Our food and drinks were amazing though!!! NOM NOM NOM! I had the cucumber martini and my friend had the raspberry Moscow mule...both strong and delicious drinks! We ordered all appetizers; fried pickles, zucchini, chicken skewers and meatballs with garlic bread! My favorite was the fried pickles!!! So much flavor and the breading was thin. The zucchini was super crunchy and thick breading.....this was our least favorite. Chicken had nice falvoring and the meatballs were delicious! Our total for 4 appetizers and 2 drinks was $68 which was not bad. They have a happy hour (not sure of the day/time) so I'm sure some of these items are cheaper then. Would definitely come back!!!

Great place, good food, great drinks terrible hours. Went to this place during the week----closed and opens at 3:00pm! Who the hell opens at 3:00pm? I arrived at 2:30pm thinking I could get one of their awesome Cobb salads and a Moscow Mule (or three) but the place is closed till 3:00pm-9pm from Monday to Thursday. Who the hell keeps these hours?!?!? Ended up going to Katella Deli instead ...

Stopped by for a drink. Sat outside under the trees. Nice breeze. Waitress was great. Super friendly. I got a couple of beers. My wife got a dirty martini. She loved it. Got a couple of appetizers. Chicken k-bobs. And fries. Fresh chicken. Plenty of food. Presentation of food was ok. Plate was dirty and worn. Fries were great. Super crispy and good portion.

Showed up here 50 minutes before closing and they locked the doors. When I called to see if they were open since they should have been, the man said that they already did last call for food and hung up. So disappointed!

I was incredibly surprised with how much I enjoyed this place. The service was friendly and efficient. The food was amazing. I ordered the salmon with veggies and it was maybe the best salmon I've ever had. The veggies were also fantastic. We got the house dip (I forgot the name of it, but it had spinach, artichoke, jalapenos, etc), and that was great also. I wasn't impressed with the fish and chips, but fried food is all the same and not my favorite so I'll give it a pass. Will definitely be returning!

First time, we stopped before going to Knotts Scary adventure! Food was really good! We sat at the bar, bartenders were making sure we didn't anything else. Only thing, we did have to ask for the menu to order food, but they gave that to us right away. I would definitely return for the food.

Music on Saturday, it's the place you need to be! Kayla is amazing! With how busy it is and how demanding the guests are, she kept her cool and attention to all of her patrons. The bartender kept the drinks flowing smoothly. And the band was amazing! This is a wonderful place for a Saturday night for drinks and music. Will definitely be back for dinner too. Kayla is the best, very kind and attentive, despite the busy scene. Would recommend for a local Saturday night out complete with a live band.

Perfect spot in the summer to sit outside on the patio and enjoy a nice cold drink. They have live music as well, which is also a plus on the weekends. We love to go here for pizza and catch a game on the numerous tvs as well. The staff is always friendly and management is always willing to support the community such as our golf cart meetups!
