On the Rocks or OTR has become one of the regular places on my rotation. Every visit is consistent. From the food, to the friendly service, to the atmosphere where we are always welcomed in. The food is excellent no matter what you try. Some of my favorites include the patty melt, shrimp carbonara, and their Greek salad with gyro meat. They have a vast menu as well as a daily food and drink menu so there's always something new to try out. It's much more than just bar food too. They have a separate dining area for families as well as a pool table, darts, and club keno. It's a great place to meet some friends and watch the game. They also have a rewards program you can sign up for. Friday and Saturday night they have karaoke starting at 9 PM and music trivia bingo on Tuesday (I think) night. They get a decent crowd and sometimes it can be hard finding a couple spots at the bar but they usually will have a high top available if you prefer to sit in the bar area. I like that their kitchen stays open until midnight which is pretty rare these days. Bottom line you can't go wrong checking out On the Rocks! read more

Used to like coming here. As service has changed. Staff members seem to be high and don't listen. They are more busy pouring theirselves shots on the clock than serving customers. As far as food I gave up. The amount of fry's given with a burger is a joke. Some bartenders just don't know how to talk to people. They say they close at 2am. But start closing earlier. Atmosphere blows. Used to when a customer starts acting up they get kicked. But when they are dating a bartender it's acceptable. read more

Brought the family here for food and pool. Food was really disappointing. Ordered 2 dogs with chile and fries and it was not appetizing. The hot dog was about the width of a dime and came with very little fries which were un cooked in the center. Ordered mushrooms for 8 dollars and got about 12 of them. Extremely sparse. People next to us , friends of the waitress had tremendous looking food. Waited for over an hour for water refill and had to ask for it. Never again. read more

I stopped in one afternoon to grab a drink and wait for an order pick up at a nearby store to be available. Private lot off of busy John R. Inside is a traditional bar/lounge feel, like something from the 70s. Everything was clean, the staff were friendly and nice. They had some sports TVs going. For some reason the macro beer taps are on one end of the bar and the craft are on the other, they had an okay selection of craft. read more

I tried this place out last night for the first time. I grew up in Madison Heights, so I have a special place in my heart. I met Tim and he showed me some wonderful moves on the pool table.. Tanya was fantastic as the bartender. And I really like the ambience and the feeling of this bar.. I believe I have found a new place to end up at late at night when I know there is nothing to go home too, but my dog and two cats. Happy Monday, everybody and don't take any shit from anybody please read more

This was our 5th choice for tonight, settled on it since it's close by and convenient. The bar or front area is so packed. We sat in the back booth from the noise and chaos of the front bar area. Ordered 2 Greek salad sans feta and less pita, one with blackened chicken ($3 up charge) and another with blackened salmon ($8 up charge). Basketball is on, speakers overhead too, even if I don't care or want to hear the game at all. Our waitress's mask is more often below her nose when she approaches tables. I had to turn my head when she approached our table at all.My husband said that's what you get a place like this. She's still a nice waitress. I hurried through my meal so I could put my mask on. The Greek salads are okay. The salmon was decently cooked, not moist, but not dry. It helped to get a different seasoning than the bourbon salmon, might have been too sweet. My chicken was a bit dry, the seasoning was okay. The chicken didn't taste super fresh though, had an odd taste for some reason. The dressing wasn't too bad. The food is average. Service was okay, need to work on proper mask attire. They charge for club soda from the soda gun here. Ok. It would have been nice if our waitress had told us there was a charge for the club salad. I didn't even drink mine at all. I would have ordered plain water instead. The concentration of people were mostly in the front and bar area, far from us in the back room. They do left folks pick their own seats for the most part. The bar area had emptied 1/2 by the time we left. read more

Tried this establishment on a Tuesday afternoon for lunch. I ordered their 1/2 lb hamburger, medium rare with well done fries and a short, 16 oz, draft Labatts. Most tales and bar stools were full. Waitstaff very friendly. The burger and fries were cooked as requested. When the waitress realized my birthday was later in the week, I was presented with a house specialty orange shot...vodka, cream and tang...it was pretty good. read more

Excellent atmosphere with multiple screens for sports watching. I loved how the beer is kept at a very cool temperature to where there are ice chips in the beer. The food was delicious; you have to try the "Terminator" burger which includes pull pork and bacon in addition to the obvious hamburger patties. Awesome service. read more

Based on my experiences during the last couple times I've been here with a group, I will no longer be giving this place my business. The male manager who works nights here is very disrespectful towards his customers and picks and chooses when he wants to be accommodating and to which groups of people. Most of the time he has a look on his face as if he doesn't want to be there. Last month, when I was there, the lady hosting karaoke had been ready to go for almost an hour and the manager was more concerned about having the entire restaurant watching the game and paying her no mind while everyone else was ready to go. When people would ask when karaoke would get rolling, he would give short answers like "soon", "in a few minutes", and brushing them off. Last night was the last straw. When I walked in looking for my table, he was very short with me and talked to me like he didn't want me there and in a way that I was wasting his time. I will not be back. Its a shame too because the food was pretty good and the karaoke was a good time. read more

Omg this place was the best! The food is amazing , especially the burgers! Jess , Sam and Sky are the best! Would go back 10000000/10!! Also Alex the manager is super helpful. read more

This is a friendly environment, always welcoming. we love the soup and salad. All their food is good and affordable..

I have had some really good times beee but the owners wife is not friendly and is a total turnoff. I have been coming here for over 10 years and not sure why she thinks she is better than everyone else . She really knows how to ruin someone's good time! Making you not feel part of the group. It's too bad really. read more

The manager and waitresses were great however ... the karaoke lady was not. My husband and I sat there waiting all night for hours and only got to sing one song a little while after we got there , after that we had other songs in to sing but never got to sing them while the same people got to sing repeatedly!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Service was great. Fresh ingredients and fast service. Would highly recommend this place to everyone.
