What diners say — our read

Reviews here split hard: 17 five-star against 3 one-star, with little in between. How guests are treated tends to be raised approvingly here, averaging 4.2 stars.

The split is 18 positive to 3 negative across 24 rated reviews, with 3 in the middle. Conspicuously absent: cleanliness, which no reviewer brings up. 5 stars is the modal score, given by 17 of the 24 reviewers who rated.

The health record runs ahead of the reviews. The last DBPR inspection returned an A (92/100) with 1 intermediate and 5 basic violations. That inspection was on March 6, 2026. Across its inspection history the kitchen is improving, which argues for giving it the benefit of the doubt. Ranked against Brevard County, it is safer than 49% of the restaurants we score. Among the items recorded were potentially hazardous foods properly thawed and dishwashing facilities.

With both signals pointing the same way, there is little to argue about on this listing. Everything above is computed from the 24 reviews reproduced below.

    The location is nice, I feel bad for the servers that have to serve this food. The steamed shrimp is very good. The tacos? You’re better off going to Taco Bell, no flavor whatsoever. I mean probably the worst tacos we had in Florida, and we had some bad tacos.

    Have never had a bad experience here... food, service, riverfront, it's consistently got it all going in the right direction.

    I was so disappointed in this place. First of all they don’t have any regular beers most people would call for. The food we got was ok. My nephews food they completely ruined. He asked for a mahi sandwich. They brought tacos. We sent it back and in 5 minutes they brought out a mahi sandwich with small shredded pieces of mahi, not a filet. I showed the server and he acted dumb. So, he took it back again and 25 minutes after we have all eaten, the mahi sandwich finally came out. The server… this guy needs another job. He was forgetful, unhelpful, and just had no knowledge on how to serve. Better places around.

    Just celebrated our eighth anniversary here tonight, had the best server Jillian that I have had in a long time! It was a surprise to walk in and see my favorite singer Josh Keels also playing so it was meant to be! The food was absolutely amazing. I had the seafood platter. My husband had the prime rib sandwich and it was delicious. Ryan the bartender waa on point! Drinks were great and most of all our server was so amazing and attentive.! We will be back!

    We had best lunch ever! Amazing atmosphere along with views. Food looked and tasted fantastic. Definitely have to comeback. A+

    This maybe the best scallops that I have ever eaten But the house margaritas and key lime pie are reason enough to eat here

    Went looking for fresh seafood. Trying to get away from all the fried tourist-y food. My martini was fine (couldn't really taste any of the fruit listed on the description), wife's shark bite was better. I got the blackened tripletail catch of the day. It came with rice and a side of sauteed zucchini and onions. Unfortunately, the veggies had very little seasoning. The rice was an average coconut rice. The 8oz blackened tripletail was decently flavored. I just don't think it justified the $32 price since nothing stood out. My wife's asian bowl with tuna was pretty good, and a fair bit cheaper. I would stick to something like that if I ever came back.

    Menu choice inside did not have a lot of options to choose from. For the price, the food was not that good.

    Fantastic views, service, food and drinks

    Love this place, just really wish they'd answer the phone, &/or set up thier voicemail. Been calling all day, & no one answers.

    Beautiful sunsets overlooking the water!

    Went to River Rocks for lunch with my family and we had a great experience. It’s a really nice place right by the water with a relaxing atmosphere. I had the coconut shrimp with a cold beer, and my wife got a virgin piña colada that was really good. The food was fresh, tasty, and reasonably priced compared to other restaurants around the riverfront area. The service was great and the view makes the experience even better. Definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for good food without spending a fortune

    So I come to this place looking for lotsa food. I'm hungry. I order the seafood "platter" thinking lots of food. Wife orders the same. Plate has a cute little fish on it and a couple shrimp. One scoop of rice and beans. It was good. Ate every little thing. Wife ate everything single thing. For a $32 "platter" portions suck!! We both still hungry. WTH!

    Southwest bowl with shrimp was delicious.. Flourless chocolate cake devine. Our server Mattie was amazing

  • May 19, 2026

    Staff were very friendly. Came by multiple times to check on us. Food was good..especially the filet mignon

  • May 17, 2026

    Food is very delicious here! Just never try to pull up on your boat. That was a 3000$ mistake for us. Other than that we highly recommend

    Came for the first time in over a year. Seems like they really let this place go. The staff had an attitude ( hostess and server) the food was sub par (left majority of my food on the plate, had to send back my overly syrupy margarita) and to top it off there was a dead rat on the ground in the middle of the restraunt. It takes alot for me to make a negative review, but in this case I believe its warranted. Really was not a pleasant experience and I definitely won't be back.

    Our server shane was exceptional. So funny and attentive. He refilled everything before we ever noticed to ask. He recommended the oysters and a nice wine to pair with. I have already been making plans to go back to river rocks with friends. Also there was no wait to be seated outside! The ambiance was great too. 10/10⭐️

    Carrie helped my family and I with a small get together after my brother's funeral. She was accommodating and replied to emails and phone calls efficiently. It was a stressful time, and her help made things a lot easier.
