Fantastic service in a cute local bar. This was my second visit and I had a great time! The food is decent. I haven't had anything mind-blowing yet, but nothing bad either. The garlic & oil wing sauce is a dry toss and tastes super bland, I do not recommend that one! The honey garlic was great! Loved the southwest eggrolls. I would visit again, but I want to try more popular menu items next time! read more

Finally tried Rockwell's bar and grill tonight. Local spot and was packed on a Saturday night. The owner/manager was super friendly and accommodating and the southwest egg rolls were fresh and delicious. Those are all of the positives. Onto the negatives.... The waitress was absolutely horrific. It took 25-30 minutes for her to even realize we were there. You'd think after that mistake she'd be more attentive.... Nope. The table next to us was also getting a little irritated. I ordered the special spicy rigatoni and chicken cutlet. The sauce was very good and mildly spicy but the chicken was tough and not good. Actually tasted old. My husband had the skirt steak and said it was a bit fatty and just OK. Ordered a second margarita but it never came... they didn't charge for it but still annoying. It was pretty busy in there but by the time we left it emptied out. They charge 4% fee if you use a credit card which I found a bit steep compared to other establishments. All in all, I'd try them again for just drinks and apps and maybe check out the bar area. The outside looks super nice to enjoy weather depending. They open at 10am and happy hour is 10am-5pm. read more

It is Sunday, and what better way to spend it than hanging out with friends at a local pub to catch the NFL game? The place I chose was Rockwell's Bar & Grill, a spot that offers the classic Long Island bar and grill vibe, friendly, casual, and lively, perfect for watching sports. While it is not exactly right around the corner, it was conveniently on my way back home after a day out on the eastern Long Island fork. Rockwell's atmosphere really hits the mark; it is the kind of place where you feel at ease, surrounded by sports fans and the buzz of the game. They also have a daily Happy Hour with 2-for-1 deals on draft beers, wine, and house mixed drinks, which works for me. The menu is full of classic American comfort food, burgers, crispy wings, and their popular steak sandwich. They also serve appetizers, salads, and a variety of entrees to satisfy different cravings. For our meal, we ordered the chicken and shrimp fajitas--they were delicious. Our server was outstanding, attentive, and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed. Plus, he kept us updated on the game and other sports highlights, which is a rarity these days. One thing to note, though, is their satellite dish program. We could not get some of the games we wanted to watch that were not on the usual local channels, so the selection was a bit limited. Still, the overall experience was fantastic way to unwind and enjoy Sunday football with good food, drinks, and company. read more

We ordered loaded nachos and chipotle wrap and beers. Waitress was great, super friendly and didn't make us feel rushed. Nachos are always good here, a little light on the toppings, but overall, good tasting. The chicken in the wrap was so dry and tasteless we basically ate around it. French fries are great! We usually do take out burgers (which are always spot on!) because we have never had good luck with ANY of their chicken dishes (the chicken pesto sandwich has the same dry, tasteless issue) Come for burgers, fries, beers, and apps - skip the chicken dishes and you'll be fine read more

Returned to Rockwells for another lunch get together when our first choice didn't open till 4pm and again was not disappointed. Made a reservation but didn't need one as we were immediately seated. Our server Nicole was absolutely fantastic. After providing a warm greeting Nicole gave us ample time to catch up first with a friend who flew in this week before taking our orders. All dishes ordered were great. Started with the French Onion soup which was not piping hot but which had a thick layer of cheese on top. Went with the basic turkey club sandwich with a side salad. The Rock Burger and Chicken Caesar Salad wraps went over well although one order of fries were a little dry ( my friends comment). Passed on dessert as we all had other places to be but overall a great place to grab a burger or sandwich. Restaurant features a bar and separate dining area offering table service. Plenty of TVs to catch a game or catch up on sport center recaps. Outside tables available weather permitting. Parking lot does fill up quickly. Must most impressed me was the waitress service. Nicole deftly serviced several tables never losing composure and maintaining a smile throughout. An asset to the establishment. read more

We just started coming here and we comeback every week because of Shannon. Her margaritas are the best ever!

Great place. Only reason I come here is the bartender Shannon is the best. Amazing drinks.

Came here with friends for a quick bite and some drinks. We ordered some beers and got the mozzarella sticks, Mac n cheese and chicken tenders. The Mac n cheese was ok but the chicken tenders were terrible. Very dry and no flavoring. The mozzarella sticks weren't warm either. The server was nice though and attentive which saved the overall experience. Don't know if I'd ever get food here again but would come back to get beers and enjoy their outside section. read more

Greetings Yelpers , I haven't been here for quite a long time. It's just as I remember vast menu, Happy Hour specials even on Sunday. I picked on several items that were for the table including Pot Stickers. Boneless wings etc. Princess our server was quite attentive professional and always had a smile. I didn't take photos sorry we are a large party. read more

Rockwell's is your classic Long Island bar and grill. Great for watching sports and chowing down with the boys. Staff and service is top notch. Lovely personalities filled with tender love and care. It was Black Friday and not too packed at 2:30pm. I can hear my cousins discuss NFL sports betting. What a wonderful afternoon. They won their bets! My Philly cheesesteak hero paired with the Sierra Nevada Hazy IPAs were to live for! All-in-all gotta give this joint a solid 4-star in my books. It's a wrap. Put a bow on it. read more

Staff was friendly but food was soooooo bland and flat sodas. At first my "loaded" nachos hardly had any meat - waitress sweet enough to bring a side of minced meat - but the meat has NO flavor Boyfriend orders the pulled BBQ pork sandwich- AGAIN no flavor! How does a BBQ flavored sandwich NOT have any flavor?! Ordered a honey BBQ wings (as I'm still hungry because I wasn't able to finish the nachos, I'm still hungry .... Let's see if they charge me for that bad experience ... i did try to finish it since I don't like wasting food). Wings were ok. Guess it's more of popular for drinking and I'm not a drinker BTW. Waitress was nice enough to not charge for the nachos Additionally, I asked the gentleman who seated us if they do anything for birthday he said yes - but nothing was done read more

Quick walk from the Eye Specialist my wife had to go to this afternoon. We live in Florida, was visiting our family, and needed a specialist quick. After our doctor visit, walked to Rockwells. Bar was packed (always our first choice), so we grabbed a table. Abby was our server...she was fantastic! Wasted no time informing us that Happy Hour is daily from 10-5, including the tables! Service was great, awesome beer selection, great food! A great "find" for these Floridians! read more

Came here with 4 friends for cocktails -- pulled up and noticed a really cute outdoor space set up - there we a few picnic tables with string lights. We go inside and was advised to pick a table, so we did and waitress came over really fast - we ordered some drinks and appetizers to pick on - I have to tell you the waitress wrote nothing down and remembered everything we all ordered - she kept checking back in to see if we were ok. We had southwest egg rolls, boneless chicken, chicken dumplings, and sliders - honestly none of it was memorable or that tasty - BUT the service and the vibe was everything. read more

what a great place. food is great and the burgers are probably the best burgers i've ever had. the service is always good and the ambiance is great. always see familiar faces. read more

Our go to place for a good dinner! Everything on the menu is solid and the drink prices are reasonable. It gets pretty loud so be prepared that it may not be the best venue to catch up with someone, rather enjoy the game and a beer! This is such a great place in the area. They also do take-out! read more

Very, very cramped. Bartenders drinking. The bar area wasn't clean and the men's room was dirty.

So happy we finally came here and checked it out. I pass it all the time and have been intrigued for a while so we finally rolled the dice for dinner plans and...YAHTZEE! Pub atmosphere but not dark and dingy (which I honestly wouldn't have minded if it was). Food menu was more extensive than your typical bar menu and had some great options on it. -Appetizer Sampler 4/5: Boneless wings were kind of a let down, they were just chicken tenders in sauce. The mozzarella sticks were delicious (when aren't they) and the quesadilla was delicious as well. -Bacon Egg & Cheese Burger 5/5: easily one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. I was thoroughly impressed. Fries were great as well. -Chicken Parm Hero 4/5: honestly better than a lot of pizzerias make it. Chicken wasn't dry at all and the sauce was very good. Our server was great (wish I remembered his name) the vibe was on point, the food was spot on, and it was one of the more affordable bills we've had in a long time which was nice to see, prior to covid prices. Overall we were both very happy with our visit and will definitely be back again. read more

This place is such a fun and positive atmosphere. The food is delicious but I'd come back just to support these people. It's so inviting and the people (workers and loyal customers) make it feel like home. This didn't even feel like Long Island. People were so supportive and made it their mission to make you feel like you belonged. Not sure I was at a restaurant or a support group. I met the very personable owner, Tom sr., his lovely "best friend" (his wife Donna), very personable and handsome young son Tom who was bartending, Cesar the friendly busser, Shannon the sweetest waitress and Joann the lovely hostess. This family owned business is an example of what we need in this world. When Joann (a loyal customer) lost her husband in 2020, Tom offered her a hostess position to get her out of the house and start living again. She told me how grateful and how amazing it is to work for the family. The love between Tom and Donna radiates a contagious positive energy throughout the room. Come to Rockwell's to lift your spirits read more

Rockwell's Bar and Grill - Chicken francese (to go) - American Near Me - Smithtown, New York

Think saloon instead of pub. Definitely a country western vibe going on, with songs like All My Exes Live in Texas and artists like Hank Williams Jr playing. Full size bar with separate dining room. Comfortable seating. My husband ordered the starter portion of Texas Baby Back Ribs. Generous portion and with an added cup of soup it made a meal. I tasted these and immediately wished I had ordered them. Nice and tender, dry rubbed, topped with sautéed onions that made it a perfect dish which I would recommend and order again. I had the flat iron steak which was cooked perfectly to requested rare but unfortunately came out cold. Meat and green beans both cold. Waitress was so professional in handling it, apologized profusely and had another plate made PDQ. The wait staff were very polite and prompt, much better than you tend to expect in - well, a saloon. I was also pleased that there were low carb options to substitute for potatoes. My side salad had great fresh mixed greens and julienned carrots but the tomato and cucumber were a bit overly refrigerated for my liking. Overall good and would return, especially for those ribs. read more

Visiting Long Island, we stopped in Rockwell's to get something to eat as we were heading home. Cannot say enough good things about our experience. We received a warm welcome. The service and the food were very good. The wait staff was very attentive and friendly. It was a good choice! read more

Service was fast and very helpful. The egg roles came out and had were way to hot verging on burnt. The dumplings were fantastic. Meals came out and the shrimp rap I got was very underwhelming. No much thai flavor was present. The reuben was solid and the steak sandwich was good but not great. Very nice on the inside with a lot of room read more

This place pulls off the bar/restaurant balance perfectly. The service is incredibly fast for drinks, food, and dessert - and it's a Saturday night! The staff is friendly and efficient. I'm really impressed with the speed of service - can you tell? The French onion soup was delicious and flavorful. The wings were perfectly crispy, but we would have liked a traditional buffalo sauce for the medium heat. It was a little sweet. The pastrami sandwich and chicken parm were done just right. I ordered the steak sandwich and was disappointed that the meat was tough. No worries - next time I'll try something else. We finished with a lava cake which was more like a brownie than lava cake but still tasty. read more

One of our favorite go to restaurants great burger and ribeye dinner the best great drinks nice atmosphere

Rockwell's a worth a shot depending on what your looking for. This spot has a large bar area and has a decent size dining area. The restaurant is kinda a best of both worlds if your looking to have a fews apps and drinks at the bar watching the game, or looking to just have dinner. The menu gives just enough options that anyone should be able to find something. The steak sandwich was a good pick; meat cooked just as ordered and seasoned well. Also ordered the spring salad, and 20 wings. The salad came as described, and was fresh. I was slightly disappointed by the wings though. Definitely not as meaty as compared to other local spots, however was sauced nicely. A drawback I want to add is the noise level. It can get very loud in there and something you may want to consider is that you may have to almost yell across the table to have a conversation. It also can be too noisy for kids from my experience. Overall, it's worth a try, and nice to support local businesses. I give this place a solid 3.5 stars, and would consider going back! read more

This place is a typical bar type restaurant. It is nice and the staff is friendly. We went for brunch and for the most part the food was good. The big problem here was the bread used for the toast. It was terrible! If they just used Wonder Bread or store brand white bread it would be better than the bread we got with our omelettes. read more

Great food. Great service. Great crowd. If you're hanging alone, making friends at the bar or with friends and are in the mood for better than average food at average prices, this is the place. Don't be fooled by the bar atmosphere at the bar section. You're going to enjoy yourself and probably make it a regular spot. read more

I hate to say it but the absolute most racist bar!! Me and 10 friends came here and the staff was being very rude and not respectful of our space and other customers were picking up on the terrible vibe. Staff was very rude and said that "children are watching" but yet it's 11 p.m. on a Saturday night! Get real it's 2024. Best of luck!!! Terrible food and terrible drinks. read more

Went here for lunch and was very happy with both the service and the food. For a mid-week afternoon they had a nice size crowd at the bar and in the dining area. The coconut shrimp appetizer was good. I got the Rockwell burger and it was cooked perfectly and tasted great. Fries were hot and crispy. Will deffinetly recommend. Enjoy. read more

Lots of locals, good bar food, nice service. I have been here a couple of times and had a good time every time.

My wife and I went there tonight and I had the Blackened Mahi Mahi with shrimp on rice. I have to say it was as good as any I've had. It was delicious. My wife got the chicken with mashed potatoes. She said it was good as well. The service was amazing!! My only complaint would be that the juke box is a little loud for my taste. Overall it was a great night out. Highly recommend everyone give this place a shot. read more

Very good food for a sports bar. Good variety of food too. Service is good. Does get very loud though.

Great place that respects your civil liberties and freedom. The staff are great , they are very accommodating with tailoring the menu to your liking. They should bring back the half price apps, it's been a while now. If you're in search for a relaxed spot where you can grab a bite and a drink and want to support a place that won't repress your freedoms in these times, come here. read more

Waitress was excellent !!! Even with a boot on her foot she was great. Only thing I ate with my friends were the Nachos, sorry but it was not good. read more

Been looking for a local spot to get some consistency good food from and I think I finally found it. Taco lettuce wraps weren't my thing but they were tasty if you're watching your carbs. Sliders my son had were good and cooked perfectly. Clams were excellent. Whole clams not chopped are my favorite. I'll be back there again soon to try some more stuff. read more

Rob is a great bartender, asked for a jalapeño pineapple margarita and it was yummy!

I've been going here for years and they don't disappoint !! Server even remembered to put my salad dressing on the side and I totally forgot to ask, too! Totally appreciated, thank you.

Went back for a 2nd time and just have to say the service is phenomenal! Family owned business so I am happy to give them my business. The workers are quick, friendly and personable.
