    Beef dip and crispy chicken burger with poutine

    Amazing food and amazing service! We had the beef dip and crispy chicken burger with poutine. Beers were ice cold. Patio seating with nice music. No notes.

    Cacio e pepe tortellini

    I walked in without knowing much about Rockwater, but I thought at the least I could grab a cold beer. Instead, I stumbled on a gem! The bar staff were kind and welcoming, and I felt like a regular the second I walked in. The beer selection was great and I went with a dry hopped sour. What surprised me most was the food! I had the buffalo cauliflower to start and the portion was so large I barely made a dent. They were fried well and very saucy. I went on the pasta of the day recommendation for my main which was a cacio e pepe tortellini and it was delicious, a filling dinner after a day of mountain hiking. I would recommend this place to all travelers looking for a comfortable place to have a good bite!

    Great service!!! The food is really good.I love how they cook their steak, also the fries is absurd!!!

    Pulled Pork Poutine

    I had the Pulled Pork Poutine. It is the best poutine I've ever had. Great service as well considering we weren't buying any alcoholic drinks. Definitely a bar atmosphere which isn't for me, but great if that's your thing.

    Interesting place with two opposite sides. There is the interior tavern which is dark and a little rusty and then there is this marvellous patio with flower baskets on the river. In summer the patio is the place to be. Simple menu. The grilled chicken and pulled pork sandwiches were very good. Pulled pork had cabbage and cheese. The house salad has vinaigrette, tomatoes, and beet slivers. 16 beers on tap. I highly recommend the Wit beer.

    Their website specifically mentions how they "cater to large groups" but our experience was the opposite. We walked in at 8:45pm (they're open until 12am) we were a group of 7 stopping in for a drink and to order takeout for our family group of 15 after a long day on the river. Our plan was to order a few appetizers for everyone ti share. We were immediately met with attitude from one of the bartenders saying they won't accommodate a take out order that large because they "don't want to put the added pressure on the kitchen" yet, when we asked if we could order food for the table and then take it in to-go boxes, she said "you can do whatever you want with the food once it hits the table" The bar was EMPTY. We wanted to sit at the bar but the. We're told "we'd prefer you sit down at a table, it's easier for us" So, we ordered 1 drink and ended up ordering food from the restaurant Nextdoor. We almost considered walking out because the service was THAT horrible. Wouldn't recommend coming here if you have more than a 4-person family. Apparently "big groups" are too stressful for an empty restaurant. They should really assess their service or change their website. For what it's worth, 2 of the other servers were very nice but for some reason, the one we encountered first just didn't want to give us the time of day. When we asked for a food menu at the bar, she told us no- and said to ask our table server... Really disappointing because everywhere else we have been here in Golden has had absolutely fantastic service and food!

    Ambiance: Rustic and quaint! This is a place where the worn furniture only makes it more…read morecomfortable and the eclectic mix of modern humorous signs, antiques, and random photos adds to the charm. The staff are friendly and the food is made fresh to order so expect you might have to wait a bit for your food. Food: Crazy tots - The toppings are a little scant but it's kind of forgivable because these are perfectly crispy. You can hear someone bite into one from across the table! Would gladly eat another plate plain. 4.5/5 Corned beef hash - A little tough texturally as they cube their corned beef instead of chopping it but it had a good flavor without being too salty. The potatoes soak up the beefy oil and along with the lightly cooked onions it was great. My sunny side eggs were also perfect. 4.5/5 Sausage plate - This is a fun dish as the sausages are all unique. You get a breakfast, Italian, chicken, and sage sausage each with unique textures. None of them were dry. It comes with a ton of crispy country potatoes, eggs, and two pieces of multigrain toast so guaranteed to fill you up. 5/5 I will also give this place bonus points for having a hot sauce bar! There were a selection of Tabasco-brand sauces, Melinda, Tia Lula, and a few other I hadn't heard of before so it was great to have a hot sauce flight for my eggs and potatoes. If you're looking for a brunch spot I'd highly recommend giving this place a try. It's not the fanciest, most creative, or even cleanest place but it beats the socks off a Dennys or Tim Hortons any day of the week.

    I like supporting locally owned and operated establishments so would like to give a higher rating,…read morebut cannot. The entry needs a bit tidying up to be welcoming, but the inside is kind of cute and clean enough. We were greeted and seated promptly. I had the Big Bend Hot Cereal, which was okay. Sorry to say, I didn't feel safe adding the fresh fruit cup. Hubby had the pulled pork breakfast sandwich, which was very good. The major disappointment was the coffee. It was super super weak. There was no saving it, and for a breakfast place weak coffee is a deal breaker. It wasn't like Denny's weak, it was almost-water weak. Maybe just an off pot; but it was bad.
