Father's Day Brunch! Spectacular selection of menu items. Special meats on Father's Day. Special cocktails on Father's Day. Great service. Busy but efficient. Everyone enjoyed the meal. My vegetarian spouse stated that she got her meal at a reasonable price.

Finally got to take my dad to Rockwood for Father’s Day. He’s heard me talk about the great food and atmosphere. I wish I remembered my servers name. She always gives great service and great conversation/advice. When she found out it was my dad’s first time. She stop and spoke with him, gave me some recommendations. She also wished him a happy Father’s Day. I mentioned to him how they revamped the whole menu and it’s now stacked top to bottom with amazing food and desserts. He was so happy and excited with getting to try all of the different kinds of foods and desserts. The only complaint he had was having trouble hearing the staff by the omelette station due to the speaker right of where let the staff know what you would like. They also had trouble hearing us and even brought over staff to assist. My only complaint would be being able to make reservations easier in the future. The website normally lets you but it wasn’t working that day for me. When I called I got placed on hold waiting for a manager to answer. I was on hold for nearly an hour and then eventually had to call back. The host apologized and then I wasn’t even on hold 2 minutes when I called back. Regardless of those two situations we absolutely will be back. Every restaurant especially on holidays isn’t perfect. It’s own by a great family who has several different amazing restaurants.

We had a girls brunch on a Saturday a few months ago at Rockwood and it was amazing. I made a reservation beforehand by calling and there was no wait. Their menu was SO affordable, especially their brunch drinks (we thought at first maybe it was just juice because of how cheap it was!). We had 2 kids and 4 adults and it felt perfect. The service was so friendly and prompt. They refilled waters constantly, had crayons and a colorable placemat for the kids, and the food was delicious! I got the sausage gravy biscuits and subbed the eggs for home fries. It was perfectly decadent without feeling too heavy. There was plenty of parking and the restaurant was beautiful. Would highly recommend!

My family of 10 attended the Rockwood Easter brunch. The food was excellent and the line was very quick. The cocktails were delicious and the atmosphere was very happy. The manager, Kara came to greet us and say happy Easter, and our server, Haley was very attentive and we had no wait for our drinks. I would recommend the brunch at Rockwood for anyone who wants an Easter feast or weekend feast with family and friends.

The food here is delicious. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. But better than the food is the service. Everyone is friendly and engaging. Really enjoyed my experience here.

We were offered a Brunch menu that had fabulous choices. Next time I'll get that. Today, our lunch was delicious and Brooke was a fabulous server. I got the appetizer tacos and Ceasar salad. Scrumptious! My husband said the Meatball Sub and salad hit the spot, and our daughter loved her soup and sandwich.

We held our company happy hour here this evening out on the covered patio. Maggie and Haylee were absolutely amazing from setting everything up, to service during the couple hours we networked. The taco bar was great. Drinks were great! Haylee was super attentive and fabulous. I would definitely recommend going here again and if you can make sure Haylee is out there helping you she is absolutely tremendous.

Great place, atmosphere and food. Love the fries. Had the French dip, which was good, but the dip was very watery and lacked any flavor at all. Some improvements are need with the dip.
