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

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

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

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

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. I hope they add to this and this gets passed on to the managers. Evan was especially attentive to everyone's needs. 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

This place delicious! Tucked away in a nice area. The service and food was absolutely amazing. I ordered the soup, my friend had the buffalo shrimp and I had stuffed flounder. Everything was soooo amazing. The soup sat just a little I could tell by the texture but that was all read more

Red Rocks Cafe - she crab soup - Bars Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

We came to Red Rocks during restaurant week and we were very impressed with the food. We actually sat at the bar because we arrived early for our reservation and they weren't able to seat us. I started with the she crab soup which was creamy and delicious. I also had the shrimp cocktail which wasn't very impressive. It was just four small shrimp on a plate with lemon and cocktail sauce. Nothing special. The lobster ravioli was amazing! I was able to take some home with me and eat it the next day. Their prices are a little spendy for me so I'd probably only go back during restaurant week or for a special occasion. If you're looking for a nice date night or to celebrate something special I feel like Red Rocks would be a great place. I've also enjoyed their crab cake sandwich on a different visit and it was amazing as well. It had large chunks of crab meat without much filler. read more

Last night was our second visit here. It's disappointing when you bring friends to a restaurant that you found to be exceptionally good when you were here before, and it let's you down. We ordered a shrimp appetizer, which turned out not to be the one that we had thoroughly enjoyed the our last time. This was my fault for Not reading the description closely enough. We ordered the she crab soup, which is one of our favorites. Unfortunately, it wasn't hot when we got it. We ordered a wedge salad, with extra dressing on the side. The salad was served, minus the extra dressing, and The waitress was nowhere to be found. She apologized and said that she was attending to other tables in other areas of the restaurant. NOT MY PROBLEM! read more

First time customer! Went for a company holiday dinner and we got sat in a cozy area just for us! Happy they gave us the privacy. I didn't take too many photos of the food because it would be unprofessional but I think the apps were decent! I like their tuna and avocado app. Very creamy. I ordered the Blacken Mahi and I think it was a little on the blander side but I felt very healthy eating it! Overall enjoyed my meal and the service was very welcoming. read more

We ate at Red Rocks Thanksgiving night. The prime rib was excellent, the service by Erica was perfect

A South Charlotte institution, Red Rocks Cafe serves up delicious entrees, refreshing cocktails and mind-blowing desserts in a warm, classy setting that makes it the perfect spot for everything from a business lunch to a romantic dinner. My personal favorites are the Blackened Mahi and Chicken Penne Pasta, but nothing on the menu will disappoint. Choose from one of their outstanding entree salads, seafood, steaks or a variety of pasta dishes -- there really is something here for everyone, including your picky kids. But the best thing about Red Rocks is what they serve up after the entrees have been cleared. Their Coconut Cake and Oreo Cheesecake are among the best in Charlotte, and the other items in the dessert case are equally mouthwatering. They also offer a solid selection of wine, craft beer and cocktails, and service has been fabulous on every one of our visits. A great choice for any occasion! read more

Great food great service quantity atmosphere everything a must must see everything homemade made fantastic

I visited recently with my 89yo friend. From the moment we entered the restaurant we were treated with kindness. A young man and woman greeted us and asked us where we would like to sit. My friend wanted to sit outside on the covered patio bc it was warmer. She has a walker so it took us some time to get out there but the host was patient and attentive, clearing the way and holding open doors. We were seated and were waiting for our server when I realized it was just too stifling hot outside for me. We went back inside and found the host and apologized and explained. He was very kind and quickly found us a comfy table inside. After we were seated a server, John, approached us and said he saw us come in and was moved by my elderly friend's presence and determination. She was flattered. Soon after our main server Austin greeted us. He was extremely attentive. A+ service experience. We ordered the burger with coleslaw and the Hendricks chicken salad plate w/ mixed fruit. Everything was great. Burger cooked medium and was juicy and pink inside just how she likes it. I had a ton of fresh fruit - cantaloupe, honeydew, pineapple, watermelon, strawberries, blueberries and blackberries. All of it fresh. The chicken salad was simple but good and plentiful. We finished up and heard thunder. We salted Austin if we could have our check quickly to get to the car before the rain came bc my friend is slow to move with her walker. He happily accommodated us and showed us a shortcut to get outside, via the porch. When we got to the porch it began to downpour. We decided to wait it out. We were approached by the manager and then the host and the our server, all separately asking us if they could get some umbrellas and walk us out to the car. So kind! We wanted to wait until it slowed down. While we waited we chatted with an other guest. The rain slowed down and I made a run for it to the car to pull up by the curb. As I did, the guest was walking my friend out with umbrellas over her and helped her into our car. I thanked him profusely. It sounds silly but this experience from beginning to end restored our faith in humanity. The genuine kindness of so many strangers. It speaks to the type of place Red Rocks is: A place where good people congregate to break bread. Thank you Rocks Cafe. read more

I had a great experience here with friends. The food, service and ambiance was stellar. The restaurant is on the smaller side which makes it cozy. There seems to be a good bar following and I can see why. Their drinks are well made and creative! I tried several of their holiday drink specials, and they were all on point. I was with a larger group and we all ordered different items. Nobody had a problem with anything that they ordered. I will definitely be returning because of the great experience that I had. read more

Red Rocks Cafe - Christmas Cosmo! Heaven in a glass... - Bars Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Stopped in here after some holiday shopping, and once again, we were escorted to the private room...which I normally hate, but don't mind at all during the pandemic. And Yes, this restaurant practices mask wearing and social distanced seating. I noticed that they even offer free masks! This time, I tried the Jambalaya...and sadly, it just wasn't my type. Let me explain. I get that some Jambalaya are soupier than others, so I actually asked the waitress just how "soupy". She said just a tad...that there's some brothiness on the bottom. By that, I didn't think it would be TOO soupy, so went ahead and ordered it. Turned out to be full-on soupy...the dish was heavily broth. Guess I prefer a heavier rice and meat ratio. Also didn't love the chunky tomatoes in it. The sauce was pretty good though. Thankfully, my bud ordered the Sesame Tuna, and loved it. I still think highly of this restaurant's overall quality and service. Guess I just ordered the wrong item for my taste. Luckily, there are more items on the menu that I'd still like to try, so am sure we'll be back again. read more

Never a bad meal at Red Rocks! Decided to do a mid week date night here and really enjoyed our dining experience! Our waiter was nice and knowledgeable of specials, catch of the day and drinks. It was a quiet night inside which was perfect for us! The weather was really nice that evening so that is where everyone was...could you blame them? I had the chicken marsala and it was good at the time and the next day! :) Just ask my date!! He had the lobster ravioli, which I had serious regret on not ordering that for myself! So good! We both started with the tuna appetizer served rare...it was perfection! read more

Great food and attentive service. Neighborhood restaurant that never disappoints. Highly recommend.

Totally Recommend! It was our first time here, moving from Texas. The vibe was super chill, the staff was really friendly. We met Suzanne the bartender and Emily, the manager. Delicious food! Everything we ordered was on point. Highly recommend the She Crab soup. Definitely a new favorite! read more

The service was good, the restaurant floor in the booth was extremely dirty. The food presented was not close to the description on the menu. If you are paying $25 dollars for a sandwich you should get something that looks good. We spent almost $200 and will not be returning. read more

We went on a Saturday morning at 11 with a party of 4, celebrating a friend's move out of state. There were 6 other diners in the entire restaurant, which was our first clue. I ordered the breaded chicken in lemon wine sauce with garlic potatoes and fresh vegetables. It was AWFUL. The 2 chicken medallions (the size and shape of crab cakes) were clearly precooked and had been meant to be dipped in a flour batter to be fried before serving. They weren't even slightly beige. I scraped the flour mush off and found the chicken underneath to be bone dry and totally flavorless. The potatoes were pretty good but had turned to liquid under all that sauce. The veggies were a mix of julienned and rough-cut unseasoned boiled zucchini. Both veggies and sauce were room temperature. My husband's chicken Marsala was one little piece of plain chicken swimming in a bowl of sauce over more liquidy potatoes. My son ordered a chicken caprese sandwich which was simply a folded pita, with precooked unseasoned chicken strips, a single slice of mozzarella and nothing else. No tomatoes, basil....nothing. We left hungry after spending $80 and went to get a burger next door. read more

This was my second time to Red Rocks and I enjoyed myself. To be honest, the pricing is a bit much for what you get, but the food is pretty decent. A lot of reviews mentioned the food quality and flavor was pretty poor but I disagree. I ordered a wine and the lemon herb chicken and thought the chicken was cooked well and had pretty decent flavor. Plus, they have a pretty large wine selection. I ordered their cheapest glass of Cabernet and it was pretty good. I'd come back! read more

Food and servers are great but I will never give my business again to The Management team (particularly Graham) that treats their employee's like dirt. Over-works, over-schedules and just down right no compassion... I will resume business with Red Rock when he is no longer employed. read more

So I saw the menu online and have should have known. Most restaurants with extensive menus don't do any one thing particularly well, but chose it because I was going out with people I'm not that familiar with. I figured pasta would be the safest bet, but the proportions were all out of whack. There were six raviolis and then a ton of poorly seasoned, overcooked greens and tomatoes. It all seemed sort of dated but I noticed it was mostly an older crowd so the menu might be targeted towards them. I think my dining companions liked their food well enough but I'm more of a foodie. We each got a dessert (only two shown) and no one was impressed. All overly sweet, dense and way too rich. Basically, the food might be decent depending on what you get but I'd skip the desserts. read more

They presented the flounder crab special which I ordered. The fish dish came and it Jiggled! Please tell me it's not laced with cornstarch! Honestly, I sent it back to be heated then I scraped off that gel looking sauce. Why would you put cornstarch on fresh fish at all? Lemon, white wine, garlic, butter a tiny bit of extra Virgin olive oil, fresh dill or parsley is the best on fish. Please.."don't do it" cornstarch is hard on the digestive system. read more

Generally good but not wow worthy food in my opinion. The staff is friendly and delivers prompt service. Sitting outside is lovely. Sunday brunch is bustling and I would recommend reservations. I do really like their desserts best. read more

This place had high reviews in the area, so we took a little trip to this posh/overhyped area to try the fare. I must begin by saying that I am from Texas. The menu items looked varied and there were many options to choose from. Since this was one of the few nights out I had away from my conference/meeting planning responsibilities with the City, I decided to take my family here since it wasn't on the list for my site visits. The restaurant overall is a typical family style outdoor place...think Chili's with a patio...nothing really unique, but of course it looks like the "locals" call this their popular spot to be seen. We were also let in on the fact that the local crowds seem to like their names being throw around because just about every menu item is named after someone who frequents the place. So it had the [NAME] Ribeye, [NAME] Filet, etc...although cute, it was a little pretentious...and it also set the standard because if my name were attached to something...well, it better be good. It wasn't. We ordered the Shaughnessey (sp?) Ribeye and we had two of them. They were horrible! Chili's or even Logan's does a better steak for the style of restaurant and price. This steak was poorly cut, poorly cooked, not seared (looked like the grill marks were painted on), cooked okay, but whomever decides on the cut of meat/purveyor or butcher should be fired. I'd never allow this kind of meat to be in my establishments. I am trying to be nice, but the meat was BAD! We had a naw on the meat (which was about $40/steak BTW) for minutes before we could swallow. There was no flavor to the meat and I wish I had asked for my money back, but I wanted to just enjoy my first evening away with my family on a business trip. My wife had a filet (which was also poorly cut, grilled and chosen) with the crab cake...which was actually very good. Pricing is too high for this establishment and is not worth the trip or the price. I may be from TX, but the pretentious crowd and the names on the menu just turned us off from the beginning. We now know they were clearly overcompensating and I feel sorry for the owner...they may get business from the local neighborhood, but I will not be putting this on our list of preferred places to dine for the over 10,000 attendees at our next conference. This is one of those places that is best left to the locals to boost their own ego because the food just isn't worth the plate it was on. The owner should be more focused on appealing to a larger crowd instead of those who just like to be "popular." The wine presenter was not that skilled. She came, popped the cork and put the bottle in the chiller after pouring the glass. Completely lost the presentation of the entire process. The wine presenter needs to be trained. On the flipside, Liz our server was absolutely amazing! She was probably the only reason we decided to stay. Her attention and frequent follow up was perfection. This place would've lost at least a $300 cover if not for her that night. read more

Loved the gravy that came with the Chicken & Waffles, great touch. However, the waffles were wayyy to sweet. I didn't even need syrup - that would have put it over the edge. The Steak & Eggs were good! Highly recommend swapping out the hash browns for tater tots. After we were done eating, the server came by with a tray of desserts. Very effective on their part - the power of seeing all of the sweet treats worked on my boyfriend. He got an Oreo Cheesecake. I didn't get a picture of it though, it was gone too fast. read more

This was probably my tenth visit to Red Rocks over the course of the last 5 years, and it's consistently great. I always order the Bogarad's Chopped Salad with Blackened Salmon or Chicken, can't go wrong either way. Service is typically on point. I think they've renovated since I first started coming in- pretty spacious restaurant and nice ambience. What I really love about this spot is the void it fills for the area. I live off Monroe Rd. near the Galleria and while we've got a decent variety of cuisines nearby, Red Rocks provides a slightly more upscale atmosphere without having to drive all the way into Southpark or another neighborhood. It continues to be one of my mainstays for a reason! :-) read more
