The busband and I stopped in at Roughstocks grill for the first time this evening. As we are new to…read morethe area, we didn't know what to expect. What we found was a quaint place that was really busy The entertainment of the evening was a gentleman who was a one man band, and almost everyone there was a part of the fam club. He was pretty good. We had fast and friendly service, and placed our orders for thr grouper platter, Fried and the Filet mignon, Medium. We got sides of salad, fries and beans and rice, Nawlins style. The food was delicious! My steak was perfect and rhe grouper was delicate and tender. Its a little hard to get into and out of at peak traffic times. We'll be back

Not sure how to write this review without sounding critical but I wasn't thrilled with this place…read more I ordered the catfish dinner with slaw and it wasn't like any I've had before. The catfish was thick chunks of fish with no breading or flavor. The Cole slaw was a creole slaw made from raw Brussels sprouts, shredded carrots and kale. I couldn't eat either. The server was nice to take half the price off the bill. Not one of my favorite places.

Liked the ambiance because of the outdoor seating by the river. The food was good, enjoyed the…read morealligator bites as an appetizer.

Great atmosphere here. Service was pretty good. As to be expected in a crazy place like this. The food was pretty good with a few things that we thought could be better but all in all a sold summer lunch spot. Now we have to paddle back up the river!!!

Started with the gator bite that was meaty and not gamey, one of the best tasting gators I've had in Florida. We then tried the frog legs and fish tacos, both were portioned generously with lots of meat. The live music added a nice touch to the vibe of a dockside experience on a Saturday night. Don't expect anything fancy, you may be sharing your meal with a few harmless spiders on the ceiling but they are there to catch the bugs. Wait staff were super friendly and quick to serve. If you are traveling through or in town for rainbow river excursions, I recommend the spot!

Stole a hush puppie from my wife and drenched it in the liquid butter. (Highly recommended). Fish tacos had a good taste and was a huge order. Tortillas were thick and didn't break in the middle. Tots were crispy and worth ordering. Park across the street and use the crosswalk if lot is full.

There is usually a small wait, but it went very quickly for us as a party of 6. We ordered the English Toffee cappuccino to start. Very good coffee but was not a cappuccino. I ordered the station breakfast which had a little bit everything, also with a side of cinnamon blueberry pancakes. Highly recommend trying those if you like a sweet treat for breakfast. My husband tried the steak and cheese hash, which was a philly cheesesteak in breakfast form with home fries. Thanks to our friends who are locals for helping us find a nice brunch spot near rainbow springs in Ocala.

Our server was the only one there and honestly, she was fabulous. The bang bang shrink was delicious. The sauce was not spicy at all so it didn't hurt to eat my meal. Also, the fries and onion rings were fried to perfection. Not pictured is the spinach and artichoke dip with crostinis and chips. They were gone before I could remember to take the picture lol.

First & last visit…read more Food was subpar. It looked gross but tasted ok not awful but was not good. The big shock came when the bill arrived and was over $100 for 3 of us. The bar food my son had was ok he said. Maths waitress was nice but that was the ONLY good part for the meal. Ambience was 70s and looked original. We will not be back.

The decor and atmosphere just felt dated and drank. The atmosphere was extremely hot and humid. By all means, if that is what they were going for then they did succeed. But it all comes down to food. It was just okay. Nothing exceptional or even good. I felt it was just okay. The menu truly made no sense. It's supposed to be a pub feel but there is burgers, spaghetti, fajitas and then Indian food. It is all over the place. The Chicken Tikka was not flavored at all like authentic Indian food. The naan came out cold and flavorless. Think thicker flour tortilla . Service wasn't bad. Our waitress Liz was polite and continued to check on us. Our onion rings came out late and because of that were removed from our check. All in all, we won't be back. Even if we were locals this a hard pass.

The fried catfish was breaded with cornmeal, perfectly crispy, also well seasoned and very moist and tender inside. The tartar sauce was homemade and very good but they also have a good peppered vinegar. Between us all we had an opportunity to try a lot of sides. Hush puppies which one of our hush puppy lovers said was the best she ever had (I'm not a fan of these overall so I can't really say). The potato salad was very good, creamy, with just a hint of onion and relish. Baked potatoes and sweet potatoes were enjoyed by all. Loved the crispy okra and green beans. Collard greens were also good. Of course, we couldn't leave without trying the pies. Caramel apple walnut was a little too nutty for me but it was still good. They key lime was my personal fave -- the crust was a good crumbly graham cracker that was definitely home made. We also had a lemon meringue and the chocolate coconut cream pie, which was essentially a half and half with chocolate cream and the bottom and coconut cream on the top. Both had beautiful, moist meringues with nicely toasted tops. On top of good food, we had a great waitress who was super attentive and very patient and friendly. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area and looking for some nostalgic, good southern comfort food.
