“ Fantastic stop off the Greenway tail, highly recommend everything and they have happy hours discounts, currently 3-6 weekdays. ”
“ We tried this tonight on a whim. The service was fantastic, the facilities were spotless, the atmosphere was perfect, and the food was mostly great. The kids' portions were absolutely massive and well worth the 5.49! The Tuna was fantastic and cooked as ordered. The burger was fine, not fantastic but adequate for the price. The only(and I do mean only) thing that was off was the Cesar salad, the lettuce was very wilted and inedible, it seemed that maybe they were pre prepped dressed which causes the lettuce to break down and now remain crisp. We enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back. ”
“ EDIT: Since Google will make me wait another year before I can review The Rock again, I decided to edit this one. Valentines Day 2025 will be one Mrs. HB and I remember for a long time. We attempted to go to Red Lobster. I made an online reservation and everything, knowing the UTTER CHAOS that a Valentines Day on a Friday brings. RL's reservation system failed miserably, so we left and went to The Rock instead. We waited about 5 minutes and was seated. A great meal at a very fair price equals no more attempts at eating at Red Lobster. And a big Thank You to Brandon the GM. He was kind enough to give me a few minutes so I could relate my tale of woe. Thank you again. Is it a "trendy" sports bar? Is it a "trendy" casual place with 11 TVs with mostly sports on? Who knows? Either way, Mrs. HB and I really enjoyed our dinner at The Rock. She had the Spin Chicken pizza, and I had the Sirloin Medallions with Loaded Mashed Potatoes. My steak was cooked PERFECTLY! And while I agree with some of the other reviews here that the seasoning could have been a bit heavier, it was a great steak. I'm very happy Mrs. HB and I found The Rock. We will be back. ”
“ Great atmosphere and food was great, too. I would recommend eating here at least once if your in the area. ”
“ We decided to try The Rock for our 15th Anniversary. What a great decision. The atmosphere was great and seating for small or large groups. Indoor and outdoor seating, it's December, so we sat inside. Our server, Joslyn, was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu items. We were very pleased with the service. We got so full we decided to skip dessert. I want to try their Chicken Bacon Ranch pizza and their Brussel sprout and bacon appetizer. I know that we will definitely be returning again. Made for a great anniversary dinner. ”
“ Sports bar environment, but family oriented. The menu has a flavor for all pallets, the customer service is very good, and that says a lot about the Manager, great wine selection and quality menu. Prices are desirable for all ranges. Go, find your own favorite and enjoy! ”
“ This is one of the best restaurants in Springfield. The staff is friendly and timely. The food is absolutely delicious and well priced. And the setting is picturesque. Go, just go. You'll not regret it. ”
“ What a terrific find on the south side of Springfield! We really enjoyed our lunch. The burger and the wonton shrimp were great. Also, no complaints about the fries and onion rings. Both were also delicious. Loved the vibe here too! ”
