We wanted to try Rock Elm Revival with the new management, menu and overall vibe. It was good! Service was great! Saturday night, we were sat at a high top in the bar area which was actually perfect for what we prefer. Drinks: I got a Moscow Mule which was nice and crisp! Husband got an Old Fashioned which he said was good. Appetizers: Ahi Tuna Crisps....my fav! So good. Food: I got the short rib tacos, they were good. I will try something different next time. Husband go the Turkey Club which he said was good and looked yummy. Only thing we saw opportunity to improve was the fry game. Nothing special about the french fries. read more

Here for a little holiday cheer. Fantastic bartender with Eric. Knows his bourbons and beers! Had a barrel Aged manhattan followed lupulin barrel god cuvée stout Superb. Had to pair this with a blue burger and a bacon bean soup. I wanted to like the soup more but just met the test. Ok. Blue burger didn't disappoint read more

I was disappointed trying Rock Elm for the first time and won't be returning. Everything was average with the exception of Erica's service - that would have brought this to a 3.5. The house made tater tots were good, but under cooked. The double burger was just okay and the wings had good flavor but were overcooked and dry. Too many good restaurants in the area to try this one again. read more

Rock Elm is a casual eatery great for drinks and bar bites, offering happy hour, lunch, dinner, and Brunch on the weekends. There are two options for seating - MN weather permitting: indoor or patio seating. Indoors, you'll find a huge bar that includes an area for standing and watching one of the many TVs; there is also an indoor golf simulator area. I have not played in the indoor golf area, but I did notice it upon entry, and it seemed to be a fun space, as people gathered were having drinks, eating food, and playing. The patio dining is cozy, although on the evening I went, I was only able to enjoy it for a short time, as we were literally chewed up by mosquitoes in the patio area. The server was incredibly kind and accommodating, relocating us indoors. To that, the service at Rock Elm (from the hostess to the server, food runners, etc.) is exceptionally hospitable and friendly. Our server was attentive to our table without overwhelming us. The adult drinks at Rock Elm aren't overpriced (average $13); they offer a Selection of Beer, Wine, and cocktails. I tried the "Pillow Princess" from the cocktail menu, which I found to be sweet and refreshing. You can search online for their Happy Hour menu, highlighting weekly deals. The food at Rock Elm, I would categorize as elevated bar bites. They offer a few fried starters, wings, burgers, sandwiches, pasta, and a couple of soups and salads. I started with the "Housemade Tots," which are stuffed with two types of cheeses, served with a housemade bacon ketchup. I enjoyed the portion, freshness, and crispness of the tots. Each one is perfectly fried to a crunchy perfection on the outside, and as soon as you bite into one, the creaminess of the cheese filling dissolves in your mouth. Truly a delicious bite, with or without the bacon ketchup. This was definitely my favorite bite of the night. I had a "Shrimp Po' Boy" as my main meal. The "Shimp Po' Boy" was okay. The shrimp were fried perfectly, but the batter was significantly underseasoned. Served with fries, which unfortunately were also underseasoned. I only hate half of my Po' Boy. This was actually my second time visiting Rock Elm. A few months ago, I came in for Brunch and wasn't too impressed with my meal. I wanted to give them a second chance, which is why I came in for dinner. I wouldn't say it didn't go well; however, aside from the Housemade tots, all the other food items our table ordered fell flat in terms of seasoning and flavors. I didn't find the "wow" factor to justify the price/value/meal. This was the same "issue" when I visited for Brunch. It wasn't a bad meal, but it didn't make enough of an impact on me (again) to warrant a return visit. read more

Went for Saturday brunch! Amazing tater tots! I got the boneless wings. they were not dressed well. Slightly dry! Brussels were covered in a cheese style sauce - wasn't a fan but the ones unsmothered were great! My girlfriends got the egg sandwich and French toast and those looked delicious!! Vibe was fun and fast. :) read more

The food was very good here, and I thought the value was reasonable. We really enjoyed the patio seating, it's enclosed nicely with foliage, but there is still quite a bit of road noise with it being so close to HWY 55. The service was friendly, and overall I would certainly recommend this place. They had a lot pretty good variety of options on their menu, while keeping it to one page to make the choices feel simple. I would certainly recommend checking it out! read more

Good happy hour spot Untappd verified and badge They could rotate more They have a progressive happy hour every day from 3 to 6 depending on how early you can get there. $4 off beers, spirits, wines, starters & wings from 3 to 4! Amazing deal! $3 off from 4 to 5. $2 off from 5 to 6. I work nearby so have only been able to indulge in the bottom tier 5 to 6 prices. They have had an Untappd Badge as long as I can remember. Slowly leveling up on it. They give you a free ten ounce beer for every even numbered level up on Untappd. The first time they let me use it on any beer. The second time it was more restricted as to what I could choose from. The food has been hit or miss for me. I definitely recommend the Mahi Mahi Tacos! read more

Rock Elm Tavern - Smoothie sour - New American Near Me - Plymouth, Minnesota

Checked out Rock Elm for a late lunch! Sat outside on the beautiful open patio. Tons of seating in the shade and the sun! Boneless wings- honestly tasted like cut up chicken fingers. Couldn't really taste the lemon ranch dry rub. Bloody Mary- pretty good but only served with an olive and a lime with a beer chaser. VAT 19 burger- really good! Lots of fresh arugula on it. Fries were ok. Watermelon salad- so yummy and the watermelon was very good this day! I would recommend getting some protein on it to make it more filling. Also a great thing to share! Our server was great and talkative and recommended a few things to us! Checking in on us and very cheerful! Service was quick! read more

I live in Golden Valley and was excited to finally check out this place! I've always been hesitant because the prices are pretty high for tavernesk food, but if you're looking to treat yourself I'd say the quality was well worth it! My partner had the Dry Heat Burger. He NEVER compliments food, and said it was great! It wasn't too messy and packed a punch. I had the beef Stroganoff ravioli. Holy cow - two of my favorite things combined for this absolutely delicious meal. We also split the boneless wings. Well worth it! The sauce was tasty but not hot. They were crunchy which I loved! And the ranch on the side??? I need more of it next time for sure! The staff was very friendly and attentive. The speed of the service was super fast! There was no wait on a Thursday night, though it was busy! Drinks were expensive too, but they had a great selection of beers on top. Overall would visit again for another date night! read more

Great service, food, and atmosphere. Very surprised by other "meh" reviews. Will definitely be back!

The service is good, but the serving sizes were skimpy. They have remodeled in the last year or so and not for the better. Before there was a partition dividing the restaurant section from the noisy sports bar area. They've replaced normal tables with the dreaded high top tables with uncomfortable stools. They've also closed off the kitchen view with a wall. I don't think we will be going there any time soon. It's so noisy we had to yell to be heard. read more

I would highly recommend this place brand new and great food. Very good service fun environment.

Excellent service. Beautiful space. Great food. Main fair was burgers and fries which looked amazing. The other half of our group ordered veg tacos or salads. All were delicious and large portions! Triple chocolate cheesecake was divine. 100% would go back again. read more

Busy place! Great service! Loved the tots! They aren't anything like the ones you had in your school lunch as a kid. I promise they are waaay better! Stick with the burgers though. The fish was thin and dry. The beet salad was just ok. (Obviously I am not a meat eater... and this is a meat eater place.) Fun vibe in a neat part of town. Next time there are still a couple veg things I can try. I will probably be back. Just not the top of my list. read more

Always great food and service, but need to update opening hours for Sunday on your website! Really disappointed I won't be able to eat there when the website says you are open! read more

First, I loved the vibe. You walk in past the entryway to an open bar area with big windows, or there is an option to sit outside in a large patio that is still seemingly secluded from the busy traffic nearby. It was warm and welcoming and the service was top notch- our server, the manager and someone from the kitchen- everyone was working and helping each other even though it wasn't particularly busy for a lunch. That kind of team work is outstanding. The soup of the day was a miss for us, it was a broth with some veggies and possibly rice or potato bits and was bland. Our burger and French dip was good and a good size for lunch. He had the Vat 17 with tator tots that look like hush puppies and I had the French dip, which was very good with the toppings. I enjoyed the atmosphere and service and the food was good, I would definitely go back for another try. read more

I was very lucky to get an early preview of the new Rock Elm menu and wow. Color me very impressed. I'd first like to thank our server Michael, he was outstanding and really elevated our experience here. And as for the food, I was very pleased with it. For an appetizer we ordered the cheeseboard which was filled with goodies and honestly I could've just had this as my meal that's how good it was. But, I did order the walleye fish and chips, while my friend ordered the Rock Elm burger. I wasn't overly impressed with the fish and chips but they definitely weren't bad and I did enjoy them. My friend looooved the Rock Elm burger. And because we just had to try it, we ordered the Rhubarb Tart for dessert. There's also bacon chunks inside the tart and like oh my god. It was heavenly. So amazingly good. Anyway, I'd say my faves were the appetizer and the dessert hands down. I want to go back and try their smoky Mac and cheese! read more

It's a little expensive for what it is...but it's also one of the few good and reliable options in Plymouth. So that's worth something. I find the food highly variable. Sometimes if feels like it is chef inspired. Other times it seems like they bought some pre-made cakes, drizzled a sauce over it, and charged $8 a slice. But, the service is always great. Everyone is friendly. There's always a good crowd, but you can usually get seated. And there aren't many options if you're looking to do dinner and a movie in beautiful, cosmopolitan, Plymouth Minnesota. read more

Stopped by for brunch on a Saturday They were understaffed but not real busy around noon. Took a long time for service once we were seated. I was looking forward to some Gouda hash browns. They were undercooked and cold. Eggs were over cooked and cold. No offer of jam or butter for toast. Hubby ordered biscuits and gravy - biscuits were rock hard- thank goodness for the side cup of extra gravy. Very cold feeling inside- they should add some warmth in the bar area to have a cozy feel. Luckily, they didn't ask how everything tasted. We've been here a handful of times and are not coming back. read more

I thought I DID write a review! Such a good place. Family owned their 5 th year! Keep them busy. Super friendly, efficient, delicious. I had the Vat 17- yum! And their tator tots to DIE FOR. Would love to get back there. read more

Holy yum! Came to Rock Elm specifically for the Burgers. I'd seen a post where a boatload of people said they have the best burgers. Decided I'd be the judge of that, and off to rock elm we went. My fiancé had the vat17 burger which was specifically named in the post I'd seen. He loved it. I tried it and also liked it. I ordered the bacon blu and was NOT disappointed. Absolutely delicious. Worth every calorie. If you're on the fence about this place, let me vouch for their burgers. They're delicious! read more

They have happy hour twice a day, 4-6 and then 9-close. That is a great benefit, and the items are varied. Unfortunately, Rock Elm falls short on execution and flavors. I have been here for happy hour, both earlier in the day and late night, as well as the burger special day, and also to try the steak. DO NOT GET THE STEAK. I asked for rare, and got medium with about 1/3 fat and 2/3 overcooked meat. Unhappy. And honestly, this was the worst of the meals that I have had here. If you are coming to Rock Elm, then get the burgers. The Rock Elm Tavern burger was delicious, and actually executed medium rare. Tender, fluffy and perfect textured bread to encase a paddy of hamburger with a nice pink center and still juicy. The arugula, cheese and mushrooms and candied walnut aioli gave a perfect bite of savory, peppery with the arugula, earthy, and tangy with the aioli and cheese. Unfortunately, I would NOT recommend the tavern fries, which are really hollowed out potato skins then baked or fried and yet, still a bit soggy. For the execution of food, the fact that I've been here about 4 times and only found one or two meals with absolute satisfactory, and yet the excellent service, I give 3 stars. read more

Food is not good. Had cheese dip. There is not a shred of cheese in it. Tastes like it came from a can. Guacamole has huge chunks of onion. Longer than an inch by half inch. read more

Ambiance is good, a low key place with good sound management. The service is nice and prompt, got my food quickly. I had the Desert Heat burger, you can feel the heat but cannot really taste it over the other items on the burger. The burger was requested mid-rare but was not brought out as such. I also had the sweet potato fries which were fresh and crispy. I was not informed of the up charge for the fries, I figured there was one so I didn't mind, but keep it it mind. Around $23 without tip for a burger, fries, and a soda, with the $2 up charge for the sweet potato fries. Overall a decent place to go for lunch and dinner. read more

Food was good but I really felt it was over priced. Breakdown: Mic golden light $5 for happy hour French dip $17* Tater tots $3* Key lime pie $10 * I did not realize the French Dip did not come with anything else. I was asked if I wanted Fries, tots, and a few other items. I guess I am just used to having a side with a sandwich. The tots were extra. I must not have paid attention to the menu if it was listed. The French Dip was good but overpriced at $17 for just the sandwich. Same with the key lime pie, although good, the slice was quite small for $10. They also charge a wellness fee of 1.99 (1 person) My bill totaled $39 + 20% on the bill ended up to be $46. This was the first and last time I will go here. The biggest issue I have is this is a bar, it is not a foodie type place like Cafe ENA or Boarders pasta. Those places can charge that because you are paying for ambiance and amazing food. It was quite loud if you are next to the bar which is where we were. Just be aware of the prices. read more

I enjoy coming in here for lunch when I have to make visits to the county office down the street. Lunch service is always fast and I like that they have a decent menu for its lunch offering. On my most recent trip, I tried the blackened chicken sandwich and upgraded to the homemade tots. Man, those things are excellent. If you like potatoes and cheese, these are for you. The dipping sauce that is made for them is also tasty. Wings are also delicious! read more

Rock Elm has great seating outside, just watch out for the mosquitoes when the sun goes down . Our waitress was very attentive and conversational providing us her recommendations when we asked. The VAT 17 burger which contains white cheddar cheese, candied bacon and a garlic aioli was right on point. Loved it. Oh and the fries were on point with a nice crispy outside and soft in the center with ranch dipping sauce. The starter house made tots were good but too different from your regular tots for me to think of them as tots. They were more like deep fried creamy balls with a rich brown crunchy skin that you dipped in a tomato cheese sauce. Try this menu out, because they are challenging the typical tavern/pub menu. read more

Our server, Matthew, was outstanding. There when we needed him....left us alone when in deep conversation. My hummus/veggie app was yummy though few shrimp on top were "limp" - frozen prior to cooking?? Hubby loved his chicken entree. Came with Brussels sprouts, which he hates, so bonus for me! They brought him nicely seasoned fresh green beans as a substitute, which he loved. Hard to find much on the menu that you may want to eat, if you don't want a burger. read more

Last night I was invited to the Exclusive Preview at @rockelmtavern in Plymouth to sample the menu and get eyes on restaurants beautiful refresh. Rock Elm gave the interior a little GLOW UP & is bringing the menu back to it's roots with elevated tavern fare. They Are distinguishing @rockelmgrove and @rockelmtavern to simply provide different experiences. You will always find the environments warm & hospitable. Serving up scratch food with a craft bar. While being centered around supporting the local communities. The burgers are always well made. I tried the Rock Elm Burger and the Vat 17. The combo of the roasted mushrooms and candied walnut aioli are a knockout. On the Vat 17 the white cheddar seals the deal for me. A nice sharp cheddar is my favorite type of cheese. And those Sticky Ginger Wings we had for an app were fire! Rock Elm has a several flavors of wings and I can't wait to go back and try more. : STICKY GINGER Wings sauced, hoisin glaze ROCK ELM BURGER montamore cheese, roasted mushrooms, candied walnut aioli, arugula VAT 17 BURGER Deer Creek Vat 17, white cheddar, arugula, candied bacon, roasted garlic aioli read more
