What diners say — our read

The 4.0-star average is misleading — almost nobody actually rated it that. Where the staff comes up, the rating that follows averages 4.0, so it reads as a strength. How long an order takes follows at 33% of reviews, where ratings average 3.1.

More reviewers landed on 5 stars than any other score — 13 of 21. 16 of 21 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 4 are two or lower.

The inspection lands in between as well: DBPR graded this kitchen a B (84/100), citing 2 intermediate and 10 basic violations. That result dates from February 18, 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 28% of the restaurants we score. What the inspector actually wrote up: food & equipment thermometers provided and accurate and potentially hazardous foods properly thawed.

Nothing here pulls in opposite directions — an unusually clean read. The reviews themselves follow, unedited and newest first.

    We had the Father's Day Brunch. It was great. Alot of delicious things to choose from. Wings,fall off the bone ribs, salmon, different pasta dishes, deserts, etc. We will be back.

    Just rating the food, as I wasted almost $100 to have mostly inedible food delivered to my hotel room. Only decent item was the pretzel, and that’s hard to screw up. The southwest egg rolls were so gross, burnt, had a weird taste. Was also delivered with the sauce cup not closed so they were swimming and soggy. Birria sandwich - so so so dry. Might have been edible if they had delivered the consume dip. Basically a terrible French dip, minus the dip. Ordered loaded fries - didn’t come. Ordered my kid a pepperoni pizza - had to pay extra for the pepperoni - alas we got a burnt cheese pizza. What else? Oh, the last meal we ordered - kids Mac n cheese - it’s just boxed Kraft, fine, but they didn’t send the side of fries. My wife actually said that was the best thing we got! The boxed Kraft lol. Uber Eats would only credit me $3.70 back. This place should at least reimburse me the Mc Donald’s we had to go to after spending $100 on really really poor food here.

    If I could give service a 0 I would. It took an hour to get drinks. Waitress literally a hot mess express. My nefew got a drink and was complained about it and she told him "yeah, I don't know what to tell you..." we finally got up and left after 65 minute.

    Really enjoyed our experience here. We are here on vacation for a week and have came twice because we knew the food and atmosphere would not disappoint!

    Rock & Brews is a fun place to eat, the food is consistently good at this location. We tend to visit for lunch since it's near the office. The staff is always personable!

    Good service, Great fpod.

    My family and I went for a Father’s Day brunch buffet. My wife is dairy free and my son-in-law is gluten-free. We talked to the kitchen manager and his staff and they were able to accommodate both allergies. It is really nice to see a food establishment that goes all out to accommodate their customers. Our server, Giovannie did an amazing job making sure everyone was taken care of. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

    A brilliant Rock bar with a great vibe, it also had lots of screens so we could watch sports whilst dinning. The cost is normal for the area, service very good and food was very good, we have the tacos.

    We love coming here when in the area! Food is excellent, service is awesome, and the atmosphere is great! Can't wait till our next visit!

    Food was delicious. Service was great

  • June 18, 2026

    Mediocre bar food, noise level is loud. Not ideal for a family with children. Our server was good.

  • June 17, 2026

    One of the worst experiences I’ve had. The bruschetta was spoiled, the cocktail was completely watered down, and the entire place was dirty, smelled bad, and was full of flies. The service was equally awful—slow, inattentive, and unprofessional. I would strongly advise others to avoid this establishment. Very disappointing. ⭐☆☆☆☆

    We sat on the patio, finally went & got menus. After about 15 minutes without any service , we walked next door to Red Robin & had a delicious burger with great service.

  • June 17, 2026

    Incredible food and great service and atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back!

    مطعم جيد يقدم اكلات مختلفة جلساته كبيرة ومتنوعة لديهم شاشات لمشاهدة المباريات

    For $18 my steak Bowl should have had way more in it. This bowl is so small, that chipotle puts this to shame.

  • June 15, 2026

    One of my favorite place. Rock N Toll, good food, good services!. 👍 and pet Friendly's patio area.

  • June 14, 2026

    Service little slow in beginning. Waitress was great

  • June 14, 2026

    I Highly Recommend! Our Florida Jeep Club had a Group of 16-18 Girlz. The Staff was Amazing, extremely comfortable seating tables & chairs, also sofas with tables, live band (you could still hold conversations easily), a wide variety of food & drinks. The only reason I gave the food 4 stars is because the kitchen messed up my order (weirdly cooked) but they fixed it extremely fast & the new order was great. Don't miss out on this Wonderful Place.

    Solid for a chain. Food was better than I expected and service was great.

  • June 13, 2026

    Nice booth for the four of us. Our server was polite and timely. Teriyaki Chicken Bowl, Poke bowl, beef tacos, mozzarella sticks and chicken tenders were all delicious
