We had a reservation for a party of 6 but had an additional 1 person which wasn't a problem for the restaurant even with a super packed house! Our waitress Macie was friendly and attentive. We never needed more water. We had the Spinach Artichoke Dip with Pita and the Duck Nachos which were both loved by everyone. The local draft beer list was pretty impressive. My entrée was the trout with a herb pretzel crust with potatoes and green beans. It was amazing! read more

Food used to take super fresh and home cooked but now it feels less home cooked and more frozen.

Great dinner! We had Walleye, Zoodles, and a Salted Caramel Brownie! Thanks Matt for the great service!

Love the food, love the outdoor dining, and the waiters/waitresses are friendly and attentive. Finally, after two long years of Covid staying-at-home, we're back to eating out, and this is where we go. read more

Came here with a large group. Food (selection and quality) was excellent as everything is farm to fork, beer selection was superb, service was great. Highly recommend! read more

I have been here before for drinks and all was good. Today my daughter and I went then ordered the nachos. The chips were beyond stale. Neither one of us ate an entire chip. After a period of time our waiter said he could have fresh made but we needed to leave. I boxed them for my pigs. I am a big tipper but her kept these inedible nachos on my bill so sadly I was not. I paid $14 for nachos that were less than Taco Bell quality. I don't even eat Taco Bell. I will NEVER go again. Costumer service is terrible. If I refuse to eat why am I paying? That being said outside of that server was decent. I suggest No . I can't even get rid of stars I would say negative all read more

Had a great lunch at Rocky River. We had a group of seven, our server, Alise, was extremely attentive, knowledgeable, and helped us get in and out within a reasonable time, as we were there for a work lunch. She got our order in right away, and kept all the beverages filled. I had the tomato, basil, chicken, cavatappi. It was delicious and served with warm bread. (I really wanted the chicken and waffles, but unfortunately it had been on an expired specials menu and was no longer available, maybe next time!) My coworkers had the Mac & Brats, Grilled Cheese Sandwich, and Sweet potato chips, among other things. It was all very good! read more

In town visiting my family for the holiday and my Mom suggested we all meet here for dinner Friday night. I was pleasantly surprised when I checked out the menu online... I'm glad the Bend is getting more cool places to eat these days. The concept behind Rocky River is farm-to-table so much of the food is locally sourced. Our waitress was AWESOME! Happily brought me hot tea (no cringe suppressed for not ordering booze), refilled my hot water, and noticed my salad was dressing ON it rather than on the side before I did (apologized and ordered a new one). I had a salmon salad. Pretty good. Salmon cooked to perfection. Salad seemed a little "empty" but the greens were fresh and delicious and the pomegranate dressing was great!!!! My mom had the bison burger which she loved. My dad had the rib. Fries were hot and crisp and I happily helped myself to a few handfuls, smothered in organic ketchup. My aunt got the vegetable stack and was obsessed. Will be back for sure! Great place to eat in northwest Indiana! read more

It was strange walking into the former Tilted Kilt space, which used to be full of plastic breasts, horrible service, and mediocre food. Rocky River is the real deal. The décor is relaxing, like farting when nobody else is around. We really enjoyed the smoked duck nachos appetizer. They have a great selection of local beer and rotating taps. I had the bison burger, which reminded me of a gourmet burger you would find in a larger city like Chicago. Portions are perfect size. Not big enough that you will hate yourself when you get up from the table, but just right. We will definitely be back. This is a family friendly place. The service was excellent. Several of the wait staff stopped by to check on us, and even made food an beer recommendations. You won't miss the plastic girls and warmed over bar food from Tilted Kilt. Rocky River is a great addition to the area! read more

This place was awesome . I had the salmon salad and my dad had the stir fry . Both were great, but i would definitely go with the stir fry . I also had a sangria which was amazing . Service was great and I will definitely be back again . read more

Meh not to bad. I was in town for the Winter Classic and there was no places either open on New Year's Day or that we're not a 2+ hour wait. We found this place. Our server seemed to be a little off but something happened and she seemed to start giving up more attention. The food was so so. My burger was fine, nothing special. But my wife said it was the best Mac and cheese she ever had which I did not expect. Pretty good beer selection. All in all it was a mediocre experience but on the other hand I was happy we were able to find a place that we could get into! read more

I have been to Rocky River twice now and both times, I walked out feeling like it was missing. . .something. I can't put my finger on what exactly it is - is it the sparse decor inside, the Perkins looking booths, the giant white space over the open kitchen area, I don't know. But both visits, it didn't feel comfortable or homey to me, the restaurant has an unfinished feel. As for the food, like everyone else, I had to try the duck nachos, which I ordered on both visits since I was dining with a newbie my 2nd time and I have to say they were just OK. The duck meat isn't very warm, you get a ton of chips and not very many toppings - a few dabs of cheese, a small pile of spicy sour cream and a few beans scattered here and there. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't want it drowning in cheese but a little more would be helpful. The rest of the food has been OK too, nothing really bad to speak of but nothing truly spectacular either. I see some dishes on the menu I would really like to try in the fall months, when I am looking for something a little heartier like the chicken, pork chop and braised short ribs with mashed potatoes but in the middle of summer, a little too weighty. They have a lot of fish options, which can be tough to find in our area so that is refreshing. I tried the mussels on my first visit and was pleased to find a giant mound of shells for only $17. The prices seems reasonable to me for what you get, especially since they are supporting local farms but I am waiting for this place to really wow me and it hasn't happened yet. Even my drinks have been so-so - I got the Strawberry Cooler last night and it was pretty watered down, not much alcohol in it and I discovered at the end of my drink that it needed to be stirred since the syrup was all sitting at the bottom. Give Rocky River a try and decide for yourself. There are so many more items I would like to try on their menu, I will probably be back but when you have other places like Corndance, Cafe Navarre, Morgan and the Little Black Dog and even Fat Cam's and Iechyd Da really knocking your socks off with fantastic food and/or using local ingredients too, not sure it will stay at the top of my go to dining list. read more

We have been driving all day and we're starved. We arrived and waited ten minutes at the door for a rude hostess who was maybe 18 to seat us. We were seated and waited again. The a male server showed up and stated he would be right back. He then relived that we were not his table and his co worker would be serving my husband and I. Ironically our female server came to the table to get our order and call us both ladies. (It was funny!) Next, we ordered the Mac and cheese (it was inedible). It was so smoky and the cheese was so thick it was like glue. My husband left half of it. I had the fish and it was so over cooked and dry. I asked for more sauce for it. The fingerlings were cold as were the green beans. Our server came by the table and asked if he wanted a box and he said no. Most servers would have asked if the food was okAy, but she did not bother. She was half there. Overall the night was frustrating and the food was not good. I would not recommend. read more

My husband told me not to give a good review so it won't be too crowded when we come back. That is very high praise from him. We both ordered the braised short ribs (served without bone) which came with green beans and garlic mashed potatoes. Pretty darn good and a good deal for $16. Creme Brulee and Carrot Cake were delicious. Seriously good. Iced tea is fresh brewed and just right. Husband had two beers and they were both good... He loves their beer selection. Service is excellent. Ambiance is lively for dinner on a Thursday night but not too loud. We really liked everything about this place. The outdoor seating looks charming... maybe next time. We will be back soon and we hope the quality remains once the senior management team moves on... Give this place a try and trust your server to steer you to the best items on the menu. read more

Rocky River Tap and Table - Bars Near Me - Granger, Indiana

Inconsistent. We had some really good dishes here and some dishes that just fell flat. We ordered a pretty good sampling of stuff. The bacon dripping olives, the chips, the duck nachos, the pork belly, the salmon, the sliders, a burger, the bacon jam and the risotto fritter. The service was just kind of ho-hum. Our server was very very nice but may have been new or something. We have a gluten free kid and while I am not upset that they don't have a gluten free menu, you need to at least make sure your servers know what it is. She also didn't realize they had Ginger Beer. Someone is slacking on training here. The olives, the pork belly, and the duck nachos were all great. I saw some others complaining about portions of the duck but I thought it was very well balanced and flavorful. The sliders and the burger both came out overcooked and dry. We complained about the burger since it was our sons entree and they took it off the bill. We said nothing about the sliders but they probably would have taken those off as well. When I saw bacon jam on the menu I was expecting bacon jam. It was more the consistency of pudding, it was still pretty decent, very rich, but jam is not the right name. Risotto Fritattas were okay, a little dense and maybe cooked a little too long, but still had good flavor. The bite of salmon I had was pretty dry but my son seemed to enjoy it so maybe I just got an end piece or something. The odd thing about our very young manager coming to inquire about the burger is that he apologized for the time it took for the food to come out. It was actually no time at all. I would have been okay with a little longer wait actually and better tasting burgers if they would have decided to re-fire them. Being a cocktail enthusiast I was excited to see a unique cocktail menu. I started out with the Hibiscus & Grapefruit Gin n' Tonic , because it was hot out and thought it would be a nice refresher. Pretty unbalanced cocktail. It wasn't the worst cocktail I've ever had but I can't imagine that it was supposed to take like that when it was conceived. Since the bartender obviously was lacking in the cocktail department I decided to go for a scotch. When I asked for the whiskey list all the server had was this little cheat sheet she pulled out of her pocket,. That is the only spirits list they have and it wasn't much of one. I chose the Balvenie with "a little ice". It came back in a cocktail glass filled to the rim with ice, needless to say the whiskey became very watered down and unpleasant. Anyway... might just be growing pains still, but there is potential. There were flashes of greatness in certain bites so I know they have it in them, it's just a matter of staying consistent through out the night. Also, training. That server should have at least been aware of the gluten allergy, and that bartender obviously doesn't care about their cocktails. If you don't want to have a cocktail list that's fine, but if you have one make sure your bar staff knows how to execute it well and make sure they know what it's supposed to taste like. We will go back to try it again. read more

What a seriously awesome experience I had here. In fact, eating here was one of the best dining experiences I have had in a really long time. They did it ALL right. I came here with my husband and two daughters to celebrate closing on our new house. Plus, their beer taps are plentiful, and as a beer geek this is a must when I'm choosing a special occasion place to go out to. When we walked in, we were greeted by two friendly hosts that let us sort of take it all in before they directed us to our spot. Its a comfortable clean lobby with fresh light colors and some interesting chalkboard art that tells a little about the business. I really liked how it didn't seem like they were trying too hard to be "cool" yet, it was cool for sure. We came in around 7 (a late dinner for our kids) and greeted by an awesome waitress (I WISH I COULD REMEMBER HER NAME!!) She could tell our kids were hungry and suggested an appetizer that came out quick and that everyone loved. We got the fresh (I think baked) mozzarella which came in a little boat dish with some bread to put it on. It was gooey and seasoned and delicious. Melted cheese on bread?? Whats not to love?? Dinner was just as delightful. Everything was hot, on time, and GONE at the end of the meal... we had no left overs! :) When offered a free dessert in congrats for our new house, we gladly picked the salted caramel and fudge brownie with ice cream. It was to die for and perfect for sharing between the four of us. I can't wait to go back again and again to this awesome establishment that made us feel so welcome, comfortable, and satisfied with our experience! :) read more

I really want to like this place. I'm always a fan of the "farm to table" kind of menu. They source local produce and meat and even local beer. The service was good, and our server (the bartender) was very attentive. My lack of stars is because the food was not good. It was ok. The menu looks great, but the execution was not there. Everything was just bland. Here's what we got: Pork belly: the quality was there, but it just needed something to give it a little spice or acid. Braised short ribs: the meat was cooked just fine, very tender, but the sauce was missing any depth of flavor. The whole dish needed a sprinkling of salt. Ono wahoo (a fish special): My fish was super dry and bland. There was a cider glaze on the bottom of the dish that was actually pretty good, but it was hard to get the sauce on the fish. The green beans were fine once I added salt. I hope this place stays around, because we don't need it to turn into another chain restaurant. They should keep the concept, but they need to add some flavor and a touch of salt! read more

Ate here earlier this week. I had been there before and had gotten the lettuce wraps, and they were ok enough, so when I had a visitor i decided to give this place another go. I ordered the Steak Frites and he ordered the Bacon mac 'n brats, along with the duck nachos. The Duck nachos were wonderful , as everyone else has said. And my guest thought his mac 'n cheese was good, but not 17 dollars good. The steak frites were very disappointing. I love chimichurri a lot so I was excited to have some on top of the flank steak. When it came out though the chimichurri was cold, which could have been on purpose... but it ended up cooling off the steak below it. So it ended up being (un-seasonsed) grilled steak with a thick layer of cold chimichurri (which was also not flavorful). The sauteed asparagus and squash salad was fine, but also once again could have used some seasoning. The best part was the fries (frites). Ultimately underwhelming for a 20 dollar meal... I love the whole farm to table idea, and have been to a few other restaurants with similar concepts... but none that were so un-flavorful. Waitress was nice though! read more

Very impressed with menu and service. Its a farm to table place with an excellent assortment of locally produced foods and beers. Macie, Our server, was awesome: prompt, knowledgable about the menu and beers and very accomodating. Ill be back. PS. try the squash fritters. So good read more

An excellent quality casual dining experience, from the tasty food to the great service and the pleasant ambiance. A really top professional outfit. We had the cooked olives and the melted goat's cheese for appetizers to share, and then the Bar Burger plate ($9) and the Mixed Vegetables plate ($15). All very good, and all from local area farmers! Definitely to be recommended in the Granger/Mishawaka/South Bend area. Make reservations on weekend nights! read more

This is Kurt Janowsky's (cafe navarre, matterhorn, etc) new restaurant in the former Tilted Kilt restaurant It is now family friendly and a great go to place after work or for a casual dinner. It is a farm to table restaurant which means they have paired with a number of farms to get fresher produce from known farms. It also means that they use more of the whole animal which includes jowl, etc. The menu is varied from mussels to go at cheese appetisers, chicken pot pie, grown up grilled cheese, artisan pizzas and fresh cheese platters. The restaurants prices are reasonable (my goat cheese appetisers big enough for 2 was $8) and the service was great. Suggestions, my goat cheese would have been better with fresh tomatoes and onions instead of a cooked ratatouille and my phyllo dough on my chicken pot pie was still doughy - but the flavor was there and the chicken moist and flavorful. For dessert I had the berry cobbler. Lost of strawberries, blueberries and raspberries with an oatmeal baked topping served with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream. Yum!! For only being open a week, pretty impressive start and I look forward to my next visit. read more

I am a little on the fence on this place. So far me and my fiance have been here twice and each time the dishes have been rather hit or miss. Trip Numero Uno: Goat Cheese and Peppers flatbread. We should have known not to order this when are server said she'd never seen it before. The flavor combination just didn't work for either of us and textually wasn't very appealing. Beat Salad. Fiance ordered this and loved it...I can't comment since I didn't try it but I trust her judgement. Rocky River Burger. WAY undercooked. I ordered it medium and it was straight up seared and raw...not good. Trip Numero Dos: Beat Salad. $$ Chicken Parm Sandwich. Really good and a huge boost up from the burger. Service both times was pretty solid but nothing to write home about. read more

We love this place for a nice glass of wine (or 3) and some appetizers, which is what I'm basing my review on this time. We actually came in on Valentines Day early afternoon and were surprised that they could squeeze us in, especially since the place filled up so quickly after we got there. We shared a few appetizers that turned out to be dinner with a bottle of wine that might have been the best restaurant wine bargain I've met. Every appetizer was really delicious... The bacon jam is super cheesy and so good, squash fritters were unique and tasty though the apple butter didn't seem to go well and the cheese curds were as good as you'll get. And we threw in an order of french fries with a side of garlic aioli. Top it all off with a bottle of Joel Gott 2012 Merlot for $25 and we left completely satisfied. read more

Had a pretty solid experience here for dinner. I sat at the bar and got the Caesar Salad with a side of fries, both were great. In fact the fries were way more than I could eat but I took them home even knowing they'd probably wouldn't keep well. Awesome beer selection. Satisfactory service. read more

Long-time customers. One problem has made this place poor; the hostess stand. Unorganized, will not acknowledge people directly in front of them, inflexible, and obviously not liking their job. We will no longer dine-in. Others have commented on this. It's about time for positive change. Thank you. read more

Absolutely delicious! I've been waiting a while to stop in and we were in the area tonight and decided to give it a try. Everyone in the family loved it - and I have some picky eaters :-) I had the chicken mushroom cavatappi and it was so good - the chicken was tender and flavorful as was the sauce. What I really liked is that the sauce wasn't too heavy - something I always try to avoid with a cream sauce. My husband had the steak sandwich and was very happy with the äu jus and said it was one of the best he's had in the area. Our kids kept it simple with chicken tenders and buttered noodles but both of them (along with my husband) loved the fries. It was surprisingly quiet which was a nice surprise. We'll definitely be back and I can't wait to try the other items on the menu! read more

I really loved this place, as I have loved most of their other restaurants/bars as well. My parents took me here, as they have come to really enjoy coming here for a drink and an appetizer. The bartenders knew their name and had their drinks up and ready before they even ordered them. That is great service! We tried a few different appetizers, and none of them disappointed. The bar mix is delicious, with a melange of popcorn, nuts, etc. We also tried to risotto fritters, which were warm melty little puffs of heaven. The pork belly was salty, fatty (and I mean that in the best possible way), and savory. It was served atop a warm goo of jalapeño polenta. It was good, but I wish it would have been a tad bit spicier ;) I had a nice glass of pinot noir to accompany these treats, and I liked that they let me try the wine before getting a whole glass. I liked the atmosphere- very open, with a modern feel to it. I believe the bar was concrete, which was a cool touch. Next time I am in town, I definitely want to come back here and try out some more plates and maybe even a specialty drink that they feature. read more

Sitting at the bar, service top notch with Nick. This is how it should be. Asked for and missed JD, much better experience though! :). Please don't look much into my last review, it must've been a fluke. We will continue sitting at the bar though. read more

I am very impressed with the ever changing menu and awesome food here. I have had very hit or misses with the wait staff, especially at lunch. They have a nice drink menu and they know how to cook fish which is hard to find in Michiana. I really enjoy coming here and will keep coming back. Must Try? 1. Squash Fritters 2. Power Salad 3. Maple Salmon 4. Grilled Cheese 5. Apple Pie You will not be disappointed at Rocky River! It is great for a night with friends, date night, or client meal! read more

I have visited this place about four times now, and was super excited to have a farm to table experience in this town. The menu has lots of potential, and the beer selection is above average. But after my latest meal, I think this place is perfect for a beer and a few small plates. What I have discovered, is the price -point does not meet the overall food quality. Our party was treated to an uneventful server, who seemed almost bothered to be dealing with our party. And once the food started arriving, nothing really popped, the duck nachos had a cheese whiz and only a few pieces of duck. The New Buffalo Burger that I ordered was tasteless, and the kids burger was just as bad. I really, really admire the energy and courage it takes to open a restaurant. From what I have experienced, this is a place that everyone should try, just not sure its a place that is worth making part of your regular rotation. Cheers!!! read more
