LOVE this place! I live 300 miles away and travel to Harrisonburg monthly. This our go to place to eat. Fun atmosphere, fabulous specials, interesting cocktails and excellent wines. The owners are personally involved one tonight our waiter was Emmet. He made perfect suggestions and provided professional service yet he was personable and surprisingly fast service. Highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Dinner pretty pricey, but good quality. Kids menu basically same price as regular entrees

Attentive service. Excellent menu choices. Food and wine quality quite good. Nice open environment.

Went on a Friday night with reservations. The place was packed. Had the Friday Fish and Chips special. It was very good and very generous. We could have split it. The staff were friendly and the service was excellent. The restaurant is in an old icehouse and rustic. read more

we had a family dinner planned and felt like we were pushed out of the restaurant. the minute we put our fork down, plates were swept out from under us. we were given the bill prematurely. as we stood to go our table was being wiped before our chairs were pushed in. very disappointing. not worth the money. do not recommend. will never return. read more

Great service. Superb food. Exotic drinks. A great place for life's celebrations. Toffee cake desert only disappointment.

I had a wonderful experience at Rocktown Kitchen! The ambiance was spectacular, the view was amazing, and our server, Josie- was phenomenal . Her descriptions of the food made my mouth water and she was responsible and timely. The food was spectacular! I couldn't stop eating. I took my leftovers home, and immediately started eating them again! Can't wait to go back! Thanks Josie!! read more

I was in town with a colleague and ate here for dinner on a week night. Food was fabulous, service impeccable and they had a great special on bottled wine. The vibe here was just what I like - elegant with a homey, rustic feeling. read more

We had a family group of 11 that decided to eat out after an event. No reservation, however a large table was opening up and only waited 30 minutes. The hostess was very friendly even though they were so busy. Our waiter was energetic and attentive. The food was all delicious, meatloaf and shrimp & grits were a couple favorites. Fun atmosphere. read more

We spent a long weekend in Harrisonburg and this was the best meal we had. It is located in an old industrial buildings and the decor follows from there. Excellent service, food and cocktail selections. We're from NoVa so prices seemed right but might seem high for the area to others. read more

I wanted to love it. Shrimp on two dishes over cooked :( Cute trendy place. Full of locals and the menu was cool, just slipped on execution a little. The owner did take off $9 for each shrimp dish. Thats more then fair but would have rather the Shri,p be good Would go back for sure. Oysters, ny strip and vermouth pasta was good. Decent number of bourbons. All and all good place. read more

Rocktown Kitchen surpassed the positive reviews and recommendations. The ambiance was perfect for our special dinner that capped off our stay in Harrisonburg. Our charming server Addie was terrific! She delight to talk to! She was knowledgeable about the specials and menu and was very attentive to our needs. The food was amazing!!! My meatloaf was perfection. The green beans and macaroni and cheese were delicious too! My friend's pork chop was tender and seasoned well. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Was in the area for vacation and looking for a nice meal after a long day of hiking. This fit the bill so well I came back the next night. The service was friendly, the hostess even remembered me and my dad on the second night. They were more than willing to accommodate substitution requests. I ordered the salmon as is the first night. The jicama slaw was crunchy and refreshing and the fingerling potatoes were just what I was looking for. The salmon itself was cooked perfectly, tender and juicy and seasoned nicely as well. I was not a fan of the peach bbq sauce but it didn't ruin my meal. On the second night I ordered the chicken with asparagus risotto and subbed the carrots and leeks. While I could have done with a little less salt on the chicken again I thought it as a very good meal. To cap both nights I went with the brownie and vanilla ice cream. There are no nuts in the brownie which is just how I like it. I sat inside both nights but the outdoor seating looked inviting as well. With a nice selection of entrees and desserts, you won't be sorry you stopped in. read more

This is a very popular place,as it deserves to be, so be sure to make a reservation. With the word "kitchen" in the name, one might be led to believe this is a simple diner or to expect a basic dining experience. That is far from the case. The food is amazing! The local owner is professional and kind. She always does her best to accommodate every guest. There is an impressive wine list, and her staff is well trained to recommend pairings. There are daily specials, but not a big variance in the regular menu. However, that is welcome because I never get tired of my two favorite (I can't narrow it down to just one) dishes! read more

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our lunch here! We ordered the burrata for an appetizer and my husband had an Old Fashioned. The burrata was delicious and gooey and the cocktail was top notch! For our entrees, I had the salmon sandwich with arugula salad and he had the chicken sandwich with fries. I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the salmon filet - it was cooked perfectly and had a wonderful flavor. My husband is a man of few words but said that his meal was delicious :). The perfect ending to our meal was the peanut butter pie!!! Our server was the right mixture of attentiveness and service and being in a repurposed ice house was very cool! We are looking for to our next meal there! read more

I'm so glad I stopped by on an early Wednesday evening around 6:00 pm. The place wasn't too busy, which was great for me as the service was good. I sat at the bar, and the bartender was quite friendly & attentive. Excellent cocktails (vodka martini, aperol spritz) & conversation. I wasn't too hungry, so the fried oysters & dry rub wings apps ($14 each) were perfect. Dessert was an espresso martini. I would definitely revisit here the next time I'm in town. read more

Looking for special occasion venue that involves including your own cake or special item to be brought in to celebrate? I would pass here- food is very good. But we weren't treated very nicely when we had our daughters graduation party last night & our party of 11 wanted to have our specialty cake with ending celebration. Instead of nicely stating the fact they don't allow outside food, I experienced a ping pong effect by the person I'm assuming is the owner- since she said "my restaurant"- she let me know they didn't want my cake or it's liability at her restaurant. After back & forth of where to put it, leave it, don't leave it, slice it, don't slice it, chef won't allow it, etc she said Take it away. There are nice ways to let your regular patrons know you don't allow outside food or cakes. We were offered a cutting fee of $5.00 a slice, and when I said ok to that, we had that taken away after she thought better of it. So nice place to eat, but in regards to how we left harrisonburg post-graduation? It left a bad taste in our mouth....sorry. So to elaborate on your staff reply, you have me mistaken for someone else. I arrived at 3:30 PM & The person I spoke to, told me about a five dollar slicing fee per piece, (I'm making this up???? Lol) but when I said maybe we would do that, YOU retracted the offer!!! then had me go back-and-forth with the box, and YOU told me to put the cake on your bar!!! Then YOU told me only 2 seats are at the bar & it's in the way there so then YOU told me take it off the bar!!! So it must've been someone else who showed up in the morning looking to do the same thing. We are very presumptuous I suppose... and like my statement says, there are ways to deliver your message nicely and that wasn't done in my experience, hence why I left this review. Thanks for making our graduation experience a memorable one :) oh and based on how you just called me a liar now in addition to the lovely congeniality I experienced yesterday, I put the rating at a 1.... read more

I have changed from Cuban Burger (where I am banned for complaining about crying child) to this restaurant to satisfy my craving fior a medium-rare cheeseburger. And they do it RIGHT here !! Ask for the fries - they're pretty good. Excellent food and the service could be better, but it's worth it. read more

We were really excited for Rocktown for graduation at JMU. Eaten there before and food is epic. Knew it was the place for a dinner after a special ceremony. Booked a 5:00 dinner reservation for 6 and paid our $150 deposit. It was fine. Had a table with folding chairs in front of the bar. Informed at seating that we needed to vacate the table by 6:30. (This for high end dining at 27-37/entrees). Prime rib was strong as was meatloaf . Fried oyster app was great as well. Shrimp and grits served tepid and soupy and flavorless. Nice chocolate cake. Sticky toffee cake was a muffin of sorts with caramel sauce. In sum, it was a mixed bag. I'll spend my 400$ elsewhere. Clementines or Joshua Wilton. read more

Had reservations, arrived on time and seated promptly. Waitress came quickly she was very good, very attentive. Husband and son had Prime rib, daughter- in -law had chicken, I had Salmon, everything was delicious! Too full to get dessert, maybe next time. read more

We got takeout from Rocktown Kitchen while I was visiting the area. My friend who lives there gives it great reviews. Everything was delicious. Also important, all of the food was packed nicely. I had the wild mushroom pasta and it was very very good. It was such a large portion it could have fed me three meals. Friends had the fried green tomatoes, crab cakes, meatloaf and apple pie and nothing received anything but compliments. read more

Very good food. Top 10 favorite restaurants in the burg for sure. Maybe odd but I love the French fries.

Went for dinner with my husband and his parents. I ordered a fried chicken sandwich which is not on the dinner menu, but they still made it for me!! My sandwich & the sweet potato fries were really good. My husband ordered the grilled chicken risotto. The chicken wasn't anything special and was a little dry but the risotto was very delicious. The surf & turf was good but overpriced at $45 because the steak was average and the shrimp was ok. The Mahi mahi was ok as well. For the food, I would give an overall 4 stars, however the service was fantastic and our waitress was so sweet, so 5 stars it is! read more

Great food and friendly bartenders. The food came out very quickly and was perfectly done.

One of the best restaurants in Harrisonburg! It is a little fancier than other places in the area. The food is great quality and a great price. The ambiance inside and out is awesome. There are plenty of drink options, lots of wines and mixed drinks. Both entrees we had were great. The salmon was cooked medium just how I like it. The pork chop was nice and moist. Not overcooked at all. The flavor and everything that came with it was delicious. The service was very good. It was not very busy on the inside. The dessert wasn't anything special. It was okay but I'd want to try something else if I'm back here. read more

My husband took me here for date night. The food was incredible! I had the red snapper with asparagus risotto and he had the surf and turf. The snapper so mild, moist, and fresh. That was one of the best fish I had ever had. It had a lovely saffron sauce that enhanced the flavor but didn't overwhelm the natural flavor of the fish. It was well balanced. The risotto was also amazing. I was so full from the fish, I didn't eat much of it. My husband loved his dish. He ate everything. He said it was one of the best meals he has had in a long time. I had this raspberry reduction cocktail that was truly incredible. I had never hear or tasted anything like it but I highly recommend it. It's not sweet but overly strong. It's a nice cocktail. My husband ended up ordering one, it was that good. The atmosphere was relaxed but a bit loud for a fine dining restaurant. The service was incredible. We will definitely be going back and I really look forward to going back soon. read more

Actually one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. I made a reservation with no expectations, we've just seen the sign when we go to the farmers market and with my mom in town thought we would give it a try... Wow. Josey was our waitress and she was absolutely amazing, you can tell she is passionate about the restaurant and about the food. She was so helpful and bubbly and nice and made everything sound so good! The blackberry mocktail I had was delicious! Josey recommended a special Barbie drink they had to my mom and made sure to tell the bartender it was non alcoholic which changed the ingredients quite a bit but we still got a cute pink drink with cotton candy :) For food we ordered both specials: a bass dish and a ribeye dish, and I ordered the pork chop. SO good. My boyfriend noticed half way through that he was using a butter knife on the steak instead of the steak knife they gave him, so that should tell you the tenderness of the rib eye! Every bite of everything was delicious, which is so rare these days to love everything you try at a restaurant. For dessert we did the sticky toffee cake and then crème brûlée and they were also amazing. 10/10 would recommend. GREAT food GREAT service and cute atmosphere read more
