Shout out to Rocker for a great meal and service. My gf was feeling sick and ordered tea. They brought her tea with honey and lemons. Nice touch. They were quick to take our order (but not pushy) and the food came out right away. They were also cool enough to add the 10% discount from my Yelp check in. Food was all very tasty (burger, buffalo wings, chicken club and fajitas). Everyone was very hungry going in and very satisfied coming out. All you could ask for. read more

Sadly we picked this spot to eat, wish we hadn't. Don't get the nachos, we paid $23 for a giant plate of super salty chips that had a small amount of cheese, like 1/4 cup of bland pinto beans, a few chunks of cubed chicken breast (that wasn't even seasoned), and some jalepenos and guac. Biggest rip off EVER! The kale salad was good but pretty dry and almost no quinoa. The chicken Brie was decent. Overall. It's completely overpriced for what you get, go across the walkway and you will get much better food!!! read more

Do not waste your time or hard-earned money. Crummy food and worse service. I simply wanted a good sandwich place with a good beer selection. Seriously, go some place else. Blech! read more

5-star rating b/c we had a great time there. Only the kids ordered food from the kids menu, but the prices were good ESP considering this place is one of the best locations in the Village. Kids meals were $6 (not incl drink), and of course we picked off their plates and the food was fab. Our beers were reasonably priced, hopefully not b/c it was off season when we went. Our server and bussers were nice and attentive. The place was probably half full (we went there on the day of the cancelled iron man, off season yet still busy in town). Nice atmosphere too. read more

We had several families total of 19 of us trying to get table. Manager refused to accommodate us because it's a large group. We even offered to split up tables but still refused. I'm disappointed in this restaurant and they have lost business with all of us now and in future. read more

My wife and I ordered garlic fries and hot wings. Our server was very accommodating with bring us different sauces to try with our fries. I did think it odd that they did not bring over plates with our order. Chalk it up to new owners service standards. The Blue Coyote owners were looking to sell last year because of landlord issues. It seems as though the food and service are related to the "new" non-foodies thinking it is easy to cook food and put it on the table. The Managers will have to be more active in the food prep and service if they are going to have the "snow birds" returning next year. The great thing they have going for them is location, location, location! It is also a good thing you can't screw up draft beer! read more

Meh. Over priced, sub par bar food. Service was solid. I had the chili skillet. It was ok. The take out chili lunch place by my office is better and $5 cheaper. The boss lady had the fish tostada. She liked it but it was a bit small. The kids each had the chicken noodle soup off the kids menu. It looked like it had a lot of goodies in it. I think the waiter brought them the regular size, since the portion seemed big (and later we were charged $7, instead of $3). When I asked about it, he said something about the buttons are next to each other and then he adjusted the bill. I would have paid for the bigger portion since that's what we got. Nice of him to do that. Bonus star for that. read more

Nice ambiance, slow service. Bad food.... Fish tacos crumbles, cole slaw with no dressing, pot pie that looks like can food with two kfc bisquit. Food was cold when arrived. Waited 40 min for food to arrive. Definitely not going back. We were looking for a quick lunch that turned into a 2 hour affair. Stay away from this place..you better off eating somewhere else. Very disappointing. read more

Been here for a week and this is by far my best dining experience- service was exceptional - for mountain food the prices were typical.

Such a good vibe for apres ski. Great beers and cocktails. Hands down the worst Brisket I've ever had in my life, but the fries were lit. I still ate all the brisket,so it was edible, but ya know, probably should order something else. I'll come back. read more

Good hearty American food. I had the faro risotto and it was super filling and fully of a variety of mushrooms (not to everyone taste but I loved!) the staff remembered me and my husband and even our drinks order. I didn't order the nachos but they looked awesome! Fully loaded and the biggest scoop of guacamole on top. Definitely what I will order next time I'm here. Also the staff know their cocktails and drinks menu and easily made anything with flair and style. Entertaining if your sat at the bar. read more

Place is legit, good prices for a resort bar, good lookin menu and staff is awesome

Great salads and appetizers! It's nice that a restaurant in Squaw can actually service good, high quality food instead of just greasy food like most resort restaurants. Try their bruschetta, it's excellent. Prices are fair and staff is friendly! read more

Friendly service. Nice selection of beers on tap (my favorite was the Drake's 1500 Pale Ale with its hoppiness). The bruschetta was excellent. Salmon was good. read more

The nachos carnitas is probably the largest nachos I've ever seen. Amazingly the three of us managed to eat it all, which was no small feat. Carnitas was delicious, and nachos had melted cheese, jalapenos, olives, large helping of guacamole, and a small side of salsa. It is one of the best nachos we've had and highly recommend it. read more

Excellent service, beautiful waiters with shining personalities and exceptional attention to detail. Came with 6 of my closest compadres and was able to enjoy live music (including a guitar rendition of the national anthem) while making merriment and talking old times. 5/5 read more

I agree with the previous two reviews this place was mediocre at best. There was little to no service and the food was gross. I ordered a burger and I ask for it medium but it was a hockey puck it was so well done. The blue coyote put this place to shame management needs to bring the blue coyote back. read more

Service was good. Food was ok. The ribs were grisly . The ghost pepper wings were no joke. I couldn't eat more than 2. A little pricey but it is in a resort village. I would give it a try and might eat there again. read more

Great location. Menu is pretty big. Food is average. Giving it only 2 stars since service is consistently slow and unorganized. If they can figure out their service they'd have my business again. read more

I was really not impressed by this restaurant. I shared the salmon dish with my sister and found that the quality of the food is not up to the price point. We also told the waiter that it wasn't good and he did nothing to change our experience. Service was slow, the other food at the table was also not great and expensive. Save your money and go to the other restaurants in this area. read more

We recently had at family vacatin in Squaw Valley for the first time and our experience was great. (Besides for no powder!) My wife and I got away from the kids for a night and decided to check out Rocker restaurant. Promptly greeted at the door with a smile and service only got better. We decided to sit at the bar and the bartenders are hilarious.. To top it off the bartender over heard it was my wifes birthday and gave her a free drink of her choice, she asked him for his specialty and she got a "Tahoe Blue" Maragartia which wasn't even on the drink menu. So good I had to get one as well! Props to my man Jeff! - kids just stoked on life! My wife got a Trout Salad which she thought was pretty interesting and delicious. I got there wings and a smoked chicken sandwhich with half french fries and half onion rings which was awesome. They smoke their own meats and I would like to of tasted some others. Overall good food but I think their service sets them apart from any place I've been to (probably b/c they get to ski everyday!) We felt like their friends and thats pretty cool. Highly recommended! Tell Jeff from michigan Troy sent you. read more

HORRIBlE customer service. I showed up with friends during happy hour for a margarita that was advertised on their CURRENT website for $6 when they charged ALL of us $12 each because the waitress and lead bartender recommended a top shelf liquor. We specifically told her we were there for a happy hour drink. When asked to speak with the manager, the waitress/bartender groaned and got him approximately 10-15 minutes later after gossiping to her coworkers. He explained the situation and the customer was NOT right in this case. I paid full price and vowed NEVER to give them business again. read more

Food was great. Various vegetarian friendly options and a good kids menu. Wine by the glass solid, affordable and generous pours! Would come back. Abby, our server, was awesome! read more

I should have known better than to have lunch at a ski resort-owned restaurant. But I was in the area on biz with my adult son and we were both hungry. He wanted a burger and I didn't care so we went to Rocker. Good beer on tap (Chimay!) and very friendly service, but my bbq pork sandwich was the worst bbq/pulled pork sando that I have EVER had and I have eaten many across the U.S. DRY DRY DRY and tasteless. So sad. However, my son LOVED his burger and gave it a 9 on his "burger-meter" (scale of 1-10). The fries and onion rings accompanying the above were very good. I may go back and try a burger when I am in a burger mood. read more

All the food we had was delicious: Veggie fajitas, burgers, spareribs, onion rings. It was so good! The bartender and waitress were really nice. The bartender was a little slow and got some drinks wrong which was a little weird because there were only 7 other people in the restaurant...but the food was so good we didn't care, and they gave us discounts for the wrong drinks. read more

Summer menu is different than the winter one. The summer menu is bleh. Poor variety and highly overpriced. These prices might work in peak ski times during the winter but not so much during the summer. Will it be returning. Seems the staff changed over as well because customer service was poor as well. read more

It's somewhat hard to write this review as I work on the same property but after 3 failed attempts at getting my orders correct, I have to say something. I always get my food to go and take it back to the office. Each time something has been wrong and needing correction. The first time I ordered nachos, no guacamole (as I am allergic to avocado). I waited the requested 10 minutes, walked down, picked up my order, headed back to my office, opened the box and found nothing but chips & cheese. No beans, no sour cream, no jalapenos, no pico...nada. Just chips and cheese. I called to let them know and was told that I could come pick up the missing ingredients. OK...I've already wasted 15 minutes of my 30 minute break walking back and forth picking the order up and calling to request the correct items but sure, I'll spend the remainder of my break to pick up ingredients to an order of nachos that was now cold and uneaten as my break was over. The second time I thought I would order something cold that wouldn't have to be eaten straight away and opted for a salad. I requested to change the cheese from goat cheese to blue cheese. I again waited the requested time and retrieved my order. When I got back to my office, I saw that the blue cheese was there but realized the salad was missing dressing and the candied nuts. Dry salad it was for lunch. Strike 2. Figuring it had to be a fluke the previous 2 times, I opted to give them one more shot. I went simple and ordered a side of macaroni and cheese and a side of veggies. After 10 minutes of waiting, I walked down and retrieved my order. Back at the office, I opened my boxes and realized that the order was right; low and behold. I was excited to finally have a great Rocker experience but little did I know, the excitement was going to be short lived. The first bite of mac & cheese offered a bland, oily, slightly cheesey taste in my mouth and that's "hyping" it up. I thought the introduction of hot sauce would help and while it provided more flavor, the mac and cheese was just blah. I closed up the box up and opened the box of mixed veggies. They smelled amazing! I inhaled deeply. I speared a chunk of bell pepper and zucchini and popped them in my mouth. Again I was met with lackluster flavor, lots of grease/oil and nothing more. The smell was SERIOUSLY misleading. The smell was a 10 and the taste was a 2. Strike 3 Rocker, strike 3. During my 3rd and final attempt @ ordering (the mac & cheese situation), it was even brought to the attention of the manager that was standing there when I picked up my order. The manager offered nothing more than a half-assed "oh bummer, that sucks" type of response. No apology, no offer of a free meal, a soda on the house, nothing. It was simply a shrug of the shoulders and an "oh bummer" response. I've never eaten in the restaurant so I cannot speak on their level of service, the cleanliness of the restaurant or any other matter related to dining in. But after 3 strikes, no concern about the mistakes made and the seemingly always empty restaurant, Rocker will definitely not be getting my business again. read more

Our visit started with extremely friendly hostesses and what looked like a good menu, and me and my party couldn't wait to eat. We started with what was supposed to be the honey BBQ wings. When they were brought to the table, we were almost choking simply from the intense vinegar smell coming from the wings, and at first we actually thought that the wings may have spoiled. Figured out it was the sauce on them that smelled so terrible and upon tasting them it tasted like watered down vinegar and buffalo sauce. According to the extremely rude waitress, that's just apparently how their BBQ sauce is supposed to be, but considering they were almost inedible we sent them back (we were not offered a remake or replacement food, our server just took them and stormed off grumbling). Also, the ranch that we got to dip the wings and veggies in also tasted extremely watered down and was the consistency of milk. At this point the last 3 people in our party showed up and as the hostess went to seat them with us, our server went over and told them "no, don't do it" and became even more rude and condescending about letting the rest of our party join us. After about 15 minutes of basically arguing with her, everyone was finally seated at the table and our meals followed shortly after. We ordered 2 BBQ chicken sandwiches (one with 1/2&1/2 and one with onion rings), a salmon cake, and a side order of onion rings. The "BBQ" chicken sandwiches had less flavor than the wings and again, tasted like vinegary watered down buffalo sauce and the chicken was incredibly dry. The French fries and onion rings were all so over cooked that when you hit them off the plate, it sounded like you were hitting rocks off the glass. We tried a couple onion rings but they were literally painful to eat because of how hard they were, and the fries were almost completely empty solid shells. The salmon cake was apparently decent according to the person who ordered it, but it was incredibly small and wasn't enough for a meal. After settling our bill with the manager (who was incredibly nice at first but then charged us $30 for what was easily the worst food experience any of us had ever had), we went to fireside pizza to get a real meal and it was incredible. End of story: if you want to waste an hour not eating absolutely terrible food and you're ok with just throwing money away: this is the place for you. If you want good service and food that's at least edible, I would definitely look elsewhere. read more

NEVER AGAIN - This place has a great location and the food is good but the service is terrible. They require you to put your name in for a reservation if you want to sit outside. Nevertheless we watched one man bribe the hostess to sit down immediacy. In the end, we waited 45 min for a table outside. This would be ok despite several free tables sat empty for at least 20 minutes because they had not been cleaned. There are lots of employees working at this establishment however no sense of urgency or attention to customer service. If you want a quick lunch and get back on the slopes ... this is not the place to go... read more

Ran out of burgers AND kale! Eliminated half of the menu. Restaurant was full of dead wasps laying on the window sills. A bit odd to run out of burgers at lunch time on a weekday.....wouldn't come back (unless I was looking for wasps) read more

Super slow and horrible service Waited over 20 minutes to be seated in an almost empty restaurant. No one acknowledged our existence and we had to walk out!!! No one even said we'll be with in a minute. Super rude. Won't be going there! read more

This KSL/Squaw owned restaurant needs a new chef. The bar is good but the food is terrible. The extra French fries I ordered with dinner must have been a day old and could substitute for cardboard . When I complained I was asked " do the fries taste like shit?". At least they were kind enough to give me a credit. How hard is it to provide good food? read more

Good food and drinks. Bar tap selection is very diverse. Nachos are always killer. Other food is good as well. Great atmosphere for hangin out after a day of skiing! read more

We did that ridiculously huge burger and it was riDONKulous. Actually pretty tasty considering how big the patty was, and it was a great experience. The service was great, the place was packed, and the food was good. I'd say the biggest problem with this joint was trying to get someone to make a drink at the bar. HIRE MORE PEOPLE! read more

The day my family and I went to Squaw we stopped by Rocker for lunch after having some fun tubing. We were greeted and seated as soon as possible. Unfortunately, it took almost an hour until our food arrived after we ordered! We felt weary and our outlook was bleak, but the thing that influenced me to give at least 3 stars was that they gave us 50% off of our total bill as an apology for the dreadful wait. The food was also excellent for me and my party, and we felt very warm and comforted after our meal. Maybe it was an off day in the kitchen and the place was super busy, but I hope it doesn't happen often. I still thank the front-of-house for being warm and hospitable to our party despite how busy and packed the restaurant was. read more

I personally received great service when I ate here. I had an Irish Coffee - highly recommend if you love Whiskey and Peets Coffee. The fries were alright, and I built my own burger and it was delish. It is on the more expensive side - but then again everything is marked up at Squaw. read more

This place is great for the location. Burgers are wonderful and the 1/2 fries 1/2 rings combo is the way to go. Awesome music too. Get the patio by the fire pit if possible. read more

Great food, good service. The nachos are bank breakers but really excellent. We were a family of 4 and were promptly seated and the server was great with the kids. The smoked brisket with cornbread was fantastic! Nice light but tasty salad dressing. read more

Rocker - New American Near Me - Olympic Valley, California

Really bad service if you are a table of 4 or less. Waves at the waitress, completely ignored. Really bad...

Service was friendly and food was good. Sat outside with dog (bonus for being dog friendly). Chicken noodle soup was perfectly satisfying after a cold hike on the mountain. Garden salad and club sandwich were good too. Check it out! read more
