What diners say — our read

45% of reviews here touch on service, more than any other theme. Service tends to be raised approvingly here, averaging 4.4 stars. After that, pacing appears most often — 27% of the corpus, averaging 4.0.

If you had to pick one number to represent this corpus it would be 5, the most frequently given rating (16 reviews). A third strand, freshness, appears in 18% of them at 4.3 stars. The split is 17 positive to 3 negative across 22 rated reviews, with 2 in the middle.

The health record runs ahead of the reviews. The last DBPR inspection returned an A (91/100) with 9 basic violations. DBPR last walked in on March 17, 2026. Across its inspection history the kitchen is declining, which argues for reading the older reviews with caution. Ranked against Orange County, it is safer than 46% of the restaurants we score. The citations behind that grade include in-use food dispensing utensils properly stored and nonfood-contact surfaces clean.

Nothing here pulls in opposite directions — an unusually clean read. The individual reviews are below, newest first, if you want the raw material.

    Great cost $9 per tube for all day and all they need is an I.D for deposit. $1 more to use card vs cash

    Best burgers, everyone is friendly

  • June 20, 2026

    Awesome atmosphere

  • June 19, 2026

    Stopped for a quick bite and a brew after paddling and dodging tourists. The bartender was awesome, didn't catch his name but was kind and provided great service. The Patty Melt I had was superb as well as the onion rings. Nice cold drinks with good food and service, can't do better than that! Thanks for the air conditioned refuge! You guys are doing it right!

    Helen was so amazing!! She helped me with getting my drinks at the bar and she was so nice! Loved her definitely will be coming back

    We had an amazing experience at Rock Springs Bar & Grill and Tube Rentals! A special shoutout to Cat, Helen, and Kory for their outstanding customer service. Cat was especially wonderful. She greeted everyone with a beautiful smile and such a positive attitude at 7:00 AM when we arrived. What impressed me even more was that when I came back around 1:00 PM, she was still working hard with the same friendly energy and smile. It’s clear she genuinely cares about making sure guests have a great experience. Helen and Kory were also fantastic—friendly, helpful, and professional. The whole team created such a welcoming atmosphere and made our day even more enjoyable. Thank you all for your hard work and kindness. Great customer service like this makes people want to come back again and again!

    Excellent customer service both inside the store and outside as well. Very friendly and knowledgeable employees. No wait whatsoever. Very clean.

  • May 23, 2026

    Great spot with amazing burgers and sandwiches! Everything came out fresh and flavorful. The bartender was awesome super entertaining, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, upcoming events, and even the tube rentals. She made the whole experience fun and welcoming. The outback area was amazing too! We would have loved to eat out there, but it was just a little too hot today. Might come back for the band tomorrow, bartender told us he is a great country singer! Definitely recommend checking this place out!

    Great Wednesday steak night out!

  • May 7, 2026

    Stopped in for their Wednesday steak night. Food was good, but things really went south with the flies and a bar patron (local who apparently is in there a lot) was calling the customers names, then trying to start a fight with anyone that looked towards him. The waitress said he was on his 2nd beer and does this all the time. I was there with wife and daughter while he tried to start a fight by calling me names. He did this with every customer in the back area. They b4ushed him off when they should have kicked him out. Then comes the issue with the flies. As soon as we got our food the flies were heavy and all over our food. Maybe a fan would have helped? We mentioned it and got "yeah, the flies are bad the last few days." We ended up asking for a to-go container and fed the food to the dog. No one likes fly poo on their food. We've been here before and this was a real disappointment from other times. This may be our last visit there.

    I always stop in on my way to Rock Springs, Kelly Park for a quick bite and a drink and rent some tunes for the lazy river.

  • April 29, 2026

    Rented two tubes for the Springs at the Bar & Grill. Bar reprepsentative asked us to stop for dinner after our day at the park. Was undecided due to appearance of B&G. Everything is well worn down and in need of an updating. Ordered their best burger and highly disappointed. The burger was soggy and gray. I scraped off the bacon and mushrooms and there was no browning or searing of any kind on the burger. ie; their burgers sit in water and are reheated somehow. However, a bright spot are the employees. They were friendly and inviting. If the food was half as good as the staff treated us they would have a nice place. I could tolorate a less desirable run down atmosphere for good food but not both. Not willing to sample another bar food meal at this establishment again.

    Much more than a place to rent tubes before going to Kelly Park... It's also a great place to go after being on the water. Good food, friendly service and a large outdoor seating area in back!

  • April 25, 2026

    Great little quick bite between two springs! Right by Kelly Springs and King’s Landing! Very nice crew with fast service and good atmosphere and a very nice outdoor patio.

  • April 24, 2026

    Fun and nice space but the food was really good. For the price it was a good amount. There was alot of really good choices. Didn't even have a moment to take a picture but I had the burger and fried nd Cobb salad with honey mustard salad dressing. Every single thing was really good!! Flavorful and made just right to order. Everything was very fresh as well.

    Prices are the best, good drive from town great group great food

  • April 22, 2026

    Great atmosphere, good for families. Tasty food, perky servers.

  • April 12, 2026

    Went out Friday night. Karaoke was a blast. Outside area is outstanding. Fellow patrons were very nice and fun to hang out with.

  • April 12, 2026

    Ten minutes and 12 dollars later, I’m disappointed by the lack of quality in this sandwich. It’s just two slices of low-quality bread and Kraft cheese. I could've made this at home for $2 ea; as a college student, this hurts. Bring your own grilled cheese, or spend an extra dollar and get a better one from Starbucks if you really want one.

  • April 11, 2026

    Helen is the best bartender ever.

  • April 10, 2026

    We didn't eat here but we wre grateful for their tube rentals. Super quick and easy.

  • March 29, 2026

    Girlfriend and I grabbed lunch here after Kayaking. Wonderful atmosphere and people, and GREAT wings! Loved hanging out in the back listening to live music
