I've been coming to Rotator for years, and it's still my favorite local spot in Walnut Creek. The…read moreaddition of wine is such a great bonus! I love meeting friends here, but it's also one of the few places I genuinely enjoy going by myself because I always end up running into someone I know or meeting someone new while sitting at the big bar. The staff always makes me feel safe and welcome, too. They're always hosting fun events, it's a great place to watch sports, and I love that I can bring my dog along. I know some people are disappointed that Rotator is now required to be 21+ with the addition of wine, something many customers had been been asking for over the years. The owners are parents themselves, so I imagine this wasn't a decision they made lightly. Families with younger kids still have several great brewery options nearby. If you're looking for great beer, wine, friendly people, and a welcoming neighborhood hangout, it's hard to beat.

It is an automated machine they makes you fried chicken nuggets in the spot. For a small fee we had a small little cup nuggets.

Definitely worth a stop if you want a chill atmosphere taproom.

My third lunch experience at my favorite SF East-Bay American restaurant did not disappoint. The…read morelamb patty within my El Charro burger was cooked as I requested and was flavored with herbs. It paired really nicely with the jalapenos and the potato bun was crispy. I would've liked more Pepper jack cheese however. My side of Desperado fries also tasted delicious and its red bell pepper gave the sauce an extra tang. My Nutty Buddy milkshake was also well-prepared and was amazed to discover it contained actual peanut butter. Plus, at $9.95, the beverage is very reasonably priced for two-glasses worth (about 32oz in total.) My only recommendation to management is to serve the drink in a pre-frigerated sundae glass along with the metal cup to keep it extra cold. This was my first time dining indoors and I really admired the restaurant's interior. The rustic-style wooden tables, the elegant booth-seating upholstery and the wooden designs overhead the bar counter. The food is also served in metal plates to mimic the old-western vibe of the Gold Rush era. Although I personally dislike live television being played inside bars and restaurants, this norm did not disturb my overall dining experience as the TV sets were mounted up on the wall just underneath the ceiling with a relatively low volume.

They had a lovely…read moreoutdoor dining space, and the hostess was able to seat us right away even though the place was very busy. A burger was our goal. And Broderick delivered handily! I ordered the Gorgonzola Burger, and hubs ordered the bacon bleu cheese burger. They both came with naked fries, which were truly naked. (Note: they did not even have salt on them.) Both of our burgers were obviously freshly made, and of good quality meat. Well seasoned, cooked to order. The buns were also very soft, almost perfect as far as burger buns go. Service was good. All around. Food was delivered quickly. Our server refilled our drinks, and checked on us at least twice. I would return to Broderick.

The staff here is not a baby sitter and should not have to remind parents of their responsibilities as parents. I've seen the staff have to remind parents that their kids can't run wild and play in the streets only to see the parents get upset and complain about being asked to watch their children. This is a brewery not a kids birthday party palace.

Fantastic drink. My friend tasted mine and ordered the same. The selection is the draw here. Whiskey lines the entire back wall, the rarer bottles sit behind wire-mesh locked cabinets, and there is a deep bench of tequila, beer on tap, and wine to round things out. One look at the shelves tells you they have the base for any drink you want. We split the Margherita flatbread, pesto, fresh mozzarella, and blistered cherry tomatoes, and it hit the spot as a drinking snack. The menu goes deeper than expected for a bar, with sliders, naan tacos, and charcuterie if you show up hungry. Service was good considering the staff-to-crowd ratio. Sevan stayed attentive the whole time and clearly knows his stuff. The vibe is chill and conversation-friendly, not too loud for the size of the room, with a bank of TVs toward the back if you want to catch a game. Logistics are easy. The bar sits a short walk from Pleasant Hill BART and parking in the area was no trouble. I've been a few times before and this visit confirmed why I keep coming back. For a high quality cocktail in the East Bay, this is the spot.

The carne asada was a little dry and seemed to be lacking flavor this time around. I've been here before, and I honestly remember the tacos being much better, so I'm not sure if it was just an off day. We also ordered the mimosa flight, and that was definitely a highlight. Every flavor was good, but the mango was my favorite--it had a really bold, fresh mango flavor. I'd come back for the drinks and would definitely order more al pastor tacos next time.

She handled us flawlessly and never missed a beat. The wings are so good and they said the fried picked were delicious. I had the watermelon strawberry lemonade (Double) and it was so refreshing and it definitely hit the mark. For food, I was so indecisive because i did not want anything too heavy. I wound up getting the sliders (2 brisket and 1 tri tip) and a side salad. They were so yummy to my tummy. The flavor was great and I added the honey BBQ (All BBQ sauces are on the table already). That set it off just right. They're prices are moderate. I mean it is BBQ. Also, my food came out hot. Unfortunately, I have to take a star off because one of my Soror's food had to be reheated and she was not very happy about that. However...I am to going to go back and try it again.

The combo came with 2 sides and we chose mac and cheese and waffle fries with house rub. We started with the cauliflower bites, sticky flavor with comeback sauce. All the meats had good flavor. The pork had a slight sourness that was nice. Most of it was drier than I'd like though. Only the pork belly was actually flavorful, juicy, and tender. Mac and cheese and fries were both fine but won't be writing home about this. Cauliflower was pretty good, could be crunchier with more breading. The table had 4 different BBQ sauces. I really liked the tin roof non spicy. It was nice to have that many options. The staff were nice but maybe a little too attentive. They cleared our water cups before we were ready to go.
