We had the most wonderful experience hosting my bridal shower at Red Rocks Café! From start to finish, the staff was incredibly attentive, and Deja, the event coordinator, was communicative, organized, and a joy to work with. The space was beautifully transformed to fit our vision and made the day feel so special. The food was absolutely delicious and received so many compliments from our guests. If you're looking for an event venue that is warm, cozy, classy, and luxurious all at the same time, I highly recommend Red Rocks Café. They truly helped make my bridal shower unforgettable! read more

I've heard so much about this place over the years and wanted to finally try it out. I join the EAL retirement group for a monthly dinner and this place has been on the radar. It was a Tuesday evening around 5p and we sat on the patio. It wasn't busy at all when we arrive but by 630p, it was filling up quickly. It's a bit of a challenge to find since it's BEHIND The Super Chix and Orvis. Your GPS will have you going in circles. It's BEST to turn onto Old Sardis Rd behind Sam's Minimart it will take you right to parking. They have plenty of free parking but get there early because it's likely to fill up quickly at prime time. The patio is nice, partly covered and partly inside. On a nice weather day, you'll get plenty of fresh air and it's not too loud. The service from Cameron was outstanding. He was very attentive and kept everyone's glass filled. I had the Blackened Mahi, it comes with rice and broccoli. It was OK, the veggies were not seasoned well and the Mahi had good flavor, it was a small portion for $38 bucks. read more

I went with a group for lunch. I was able to find parking as there is a lot. I was able to be seated as we had a reservation. There is room for groups and private areas. We were with another group. I ordered a salad with grill chicken and ranch. The food came out fast. It was really good. It was a good portion size and the food tasted great. The server was very attentive and followed up on what we needed. I would return to try other menu items. Great staff and service. The food was tasty. read more

The Reuben is delicious and the fried okra, fresh and tasty. Cajun ribeye, perfectly cooked and flavorful. Peppers and onions and red rice as sides were good, not great. I waited to dine here for a 3rd time, before I understood why it's normally pretty busy. Consistently above average and/or excellent. Great service and good wine. Ambiance is more adult than other places in the area, which is a relief. We didn't have to hear parents training their kids at Red Rocks. This is a place to take parents, dates, business clientele, or by yourself, for consistent tasty food and great service. It is now on my list of places to repeat dine once a month. read more

First visit at Red Rocks Cafe on Charlotte. Loved there was so much to chose from on the menu - steaks, seafood, pasta and chicken. We tried the she crab soup that was thick and flavorful. The coconut shrimp the was crispy and cooked perfect. For our main course we had the filet with garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli and chicken sambuca. Excellent service and food. Highly recommend! read more

Met a dear old friend for dinner and a catch up. We dined on an outdoor patio which had a heating unit which was nice as the temperatures began to drop at nightfall. The food was great, I ordered CHICKEN QUATTRO FORMAGGIO and added shrimp. It was a creamy, cheesy delight! The perfect amount of everything!!! It's a very large serving. I wasn't even able to get half way through when I had it packed up to take home. My dinner companion and I shared a HUGE piece of carrot cake which was absolutely divine! Yummy yummy cream cheese frosting and the perfect amount of ingredients and moistness. I would have rated a 5, but our server just wasn't as attentive as I would have liked. I ordered a cocktail, which I never received. I wasn't charged so no harm no foul, HOWEVER, I was looking forward to tasting their spin on a Moscow Mule. Unfortunately, we had very few check-ins, and when we asked for coffee (regular), we were brought decaf. He made it right, but attentiveness matters and is observed when you are a server. Overall, it was a great place to dine and a wonderful place to catch up and spend time with someone special. read more

We ordered the avocado and Aji tuna to start which was good but the perfectly fried coconut shrimp was the real standout. The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience feel welcoming. For dinner, we had the Cajun ribeye and the Cajun pasta, both packed with flavor. The vibes were great, the atmosphere was clean, and they were very accommodating when we asked to put the game on. I'd go back in a heartbeat. read more

Red Rocks was mentioned a few times in the Charlotte Foodies Facebook group, I figured I'd try it out. Service I was greeted by Erin at the entrance pastry case, who was friendly and quick to seat me. My waiter Garrett was attentive, helpful, and didn't even flinch when I asked too many questions about the sides like I was taking a pop quiz. Starter I ordered a cup of She Crab Soup to start. It comes with a drizzle of sherry on top and a packet of saltines, classy and nostalgic at the same time. While it doesn't quite top the She Crab Soup at Eddie's Place, it definitely puts up a solid fight. Let's call it the Pepsi to Eddie's Coke. Main Course I went with the 1/2 rack of ribs. They were fall-off-the-bone tender, coated in a sticky, sweet sauce with just a hint of heat. Not quite a Carolina reaper situation, more like a polite tap on the shoulder. I didn't need any extra sauce and found myself going full caveman, cleaning each bone like it owed me money. The wild rice risotto was good. Cheesy, flavorful, and a smarter side choice than baked beans if you don't want to fall asleep by 9. Sweet potato fries were fine. Definitely the standard frozen kind, but they served their purpose. Dessert I didn't have room for dessert, but I took a slice of Oreo cheesecake to go. It's made by Queen City Pastry in Mooresville, and based on past experience, it's probably going to ruin my self-control later tonight. Overall Vibe Red Rocks is the kind of place that works for nearly any occasion. The menu is huge: burgers, pasta, steaks, seafood, salads. You could bring your picky aunt, your steak-loving cousin, or your friend who only eats chicken fingers. It's casual, but the food is better than you'd expect from a place this broad. Solid experience overall. And as for Aqua e Vino, lock your doors and update your voicemail. Some of us are out here hungry. read more

Sometimes when dining, customer service can definitely make or break it when you're trying somewhere new. Bianca definitely won us over. She was so kind and super helpful. I appreciate how she was even so generous enough to let us try to have a better idea of how the sherry-lobster crème sauce tasted before ordering. We were hesitant at first but she was so reassuring on the dish she didn't steer us wrong. My girlfriend and I done here during restaurant week. Because we knew how packed it can get during this time, we went ahead and made reservations ahead of time but still got seated with no wait. Bianca was so honest with her recommendations it helped tremendously. The medallions are definitely the way to go if you're feeling something meaty. The fried onions are honestly a great pair. My favorite however were the lobster ravioli. If you know seafood, you know in nc sometimes the portion sizes can be on the smaller side. However with this dish, it will definitely fill you. It comes with a generous amount of 8-10 shells with a decent amount of shrimp and asparagus to fill you as well! Lastly, while we're never huge on dessert, please try their apple cheesecake I promise you will not regret it! read more

The Owner, John Love, provided us with an amazing experience, with delicious appetizers, entrees, desserts and a wide variety to choose from! The overall service was really quick, and the atmosphere was tremendous. Looking forwarding to visiting again! Staff was outstanding. read more

The wait for Thanksgiving was way too long. Reservation was 4:30 not seated until 5:00. Ridiculous. They need to be more aware.

Please read fully before commenting. We came to dine there on Mother's Day and things didn't go well and I wrote a negative review. The GM saw my review and reached out to me. He offered to make things right, which I greatly appreciated. I went back there last night (6/28) Last night's service and food were really good. You made good on your promise and made everything right. We even left a nice gift for Spencer, our server. Sorry for all the misunderstandings. Promise we will not only be back again, but definitely recommend it to everyone who we know. read more

I hosted my birthday dinner here and very glad I did. We were seated in the patio and the server was TOP notch. We were a large crowd and it was just him. He took his time to make sure we were all taken care of. I got the filet and shrimp which was good, except I wasn't the biggest fan of the sauce. I ate the food without it and it very delicious. Everyone talked about the mashed potatoes! You have to go and try it! read more

I was elated to visit another Red Rocks location. The service and food did not disappoint. The ambiance was warm and welcoming. My party of two was seated quickly. I ordered a Blackberry Old Fashioned--how delightful! I ordered the Spinach and walnut Ravioli with grilled shrimp on top for my entree. This dish was exquisite! Frankly, the ravioli stood out on its own without the shrimp. The crunch of the nuts brought me in to enjoy the pasta and spinach. We ordered some cake (maybe a sponge) with a chocolate topping for dessert. It was served with a side of vanilla bean ice cream. The ice cream was good. The cake, not so much. On my way out, I noticed the layered chocolate cake and ordered a slice to take home. This was one of the delectable desserts I have known Red Rocks to serve, and it was so good I was happy to share. Red Rocks is an excellent place for dinner and fellowship with a friend. read more

The Hostess and our Server were great. We often come here for Special Occasions or just a good lunch or dinner. Tonight my wife and I each ordered our favorite BLACKENED SEAFOOD SALAD. We were all (5 of us) enjoying our dinner and having a nice conversation. After a few minutes of eating my wife asked if my Seafood had a generous amount of Blackening Seasoning and I replied yes. She said she couldn't really taste any on hers. I looked and tasted and hers had none and was extremely bland. When our server came by next I told her. She asked if my wife wanted some new Seafood prepared the correct way. By this time she was halfway through and said no. Usually someone from Management stops by and asks if everything is okay. NOT TONIGHT. I don't know if it was the person on the Fish Station or the Expo, but this salad should have never made it to our table. How disappointing. It will probably be a while before we come back. read more

Thank You to our Watiress "Alex" - Service was truly excellent! - Very relaxing atmosphere - Comfortable seating. Price point was on the money - Good bang for your buck.

Great food! We had excellent service. It was a delightful ambience. I highly recommend it.

Steak was cooked perfectly. Risotto was a little dry and not worth it. Service was quick and attentive. Great spot to catch a game!

Consistently good food and service in a place that has a neighborhood feel. Nearly almost full . They have a great patio which is a very nice place to eat in good weather. read more

I wanted to come back and update my review from 12 years ago stating that Red Rocks is one of my favorite restaurants in the Charlotte area. I can confirm it is still my favorite restaurant in the Charlotte area. We recently started coming back to the South Park location as the Indian Land, SC location closer to us unfortunately shut down. Our latest order: -Pomegranate Mimosa and Pomegranate Martini - both were very good, not sure which we liked more, but maybe the martini. -She Crab Soup - I'll preface and say that I'm not a big fan of this soup to begin with, but I really enjoyed it. My husband definitely enjoyed it! -Crab cake appetizer - they did not have this at the other location, so I was excited to try their crab cakes. They don't compete with my favorite crab cakes in the area, but they are still very good, and I would get them again. I really enjoyed them with the dill sauce! -Cajun Chicken Pasta - my favorite meal! Love the cajun cream sauce. It is paired with chicken, sausage, and creole vegetables. -Quattro Formaggio - my husband's favorite meal. It is a very cheesy pasta! Love the combination of chicken, bacon, mushrooms, and tomatoes. -Oreo Cheesecake - my favorite dessert, so it is always a must order. It has the perfect texture and love all the oreo's and chocolate on top! While this is not made in house, they are supporting another local bakery with this cheesecake and their other desserts - absolutely love that! Other recommendations: -Chicken Marsala -Chicken Saltimbocca Food and service have always been consistent at each location, which is another reason why I love Red Rocks so much. I always know I'm going to have a great meal - lunch or dinner, whether it is at the South Park or Huntersville location. I definitely recommend Red Rocks if you are in the area, and if you are not, it is worth the drive if you are in another area of Charlotte, like we are! read more

The server was amazing!!! The food could have been good if it was hot. It had potential the flavors were there. The food came out cold sent it back and it came back out cold again. That's an absolutely NO for me. I don't like sending food back to the kitchen but HOW is it possible to come out cold a second time??? The manager casually walked by a few times checking on the other customers but didn't seem interested enough to ask about our food.... read more

I haven't been there lately, the food is always good and atmosphere is great . It's a long drive from my home so only get there every few months read more

This was my first time at this particular location but I've frequented the restaurant before. I was not pleased that at least 4-5 servers walked past us and not one of them greeted us. We waited and waited until I asked for a manager. The place was not busy so that cannot be an excuse. I ordered the jambalaya which I had before and tonight there was a vast difference. It just didn't taste great. Our server ended up great . I just think he may have overlooked us. I will definitely visit again to see if that jambalaya gets better! read more

Been to Red Rocks long ago for a special dinner. Joined a friend fairly late on a Monday night. The place had emptied out. The server got us beer and tea quickly. And then bread. My friend had She crab soup. I had the wedge salad with added shrimp. It was quite good. No complaints. A nice meal with nice service. The menu has a good variety that compels a return trip. read more

I go for the cake, honestly, though the slices are much smaller than they used to be. The chocolate or coconut are my favorites. Food is just average. read more

The food was good, the service was great, and the place has a nice, casual atmosphere. I had filet medallions with a lobster tail. The food was cooked well. My wife had a specialty salad, and she was very happy with that. This was a much better experience than my first time there. I would go back again. Just short of getting that 5th star. read more

Went last night to restaurant week. Order filet - was overcooked, underseasoned and obviously the ends. Covered by the onions so you would not see how small the medallions were. Broccoli had no flavor at all. Salad was good. So disappointed in dessert. We received a 4th of a piece of what they normal serve. They cut corners big time and it showed! read more

Excellent food and the owners & staff are amazing & professional. The quality of food is one of the best in Charlotte. read more

It was strange seeing the place so packed given how mediocre we felt the food and ambiance was. Service was fine. The decor inside needs some work- there were garish lights behind fans causing strobing, weird purple backlighting, and huge TVs with aquarium programs on them. The food was OK. Nearly everything they offered was drowning in some sortof sauce. My pasta was a creamy salty boxed pasta put together with bacon mushrooms and chicken. The portion was nice but for the price i was still surprised. We know Charlottes bar for dining experience should be higher. For the price, we recommend BrickTops nearby. read more

Evan gave amazing service and Isabella... Ron used to be my customer at Land Rover. I hope he gets this. Child Friendly: All I can say is Evan and Isabella. What an amazing job.
