I've been to Rocky's but not in like 20 years! I met a work group here on a Friday afternoon and had a nice experience. It was quiet at it was not quite 4 on a Friday and we had very good service from the bartender who came to our table for drink and food orders. No tap beer and none of my 'cheap-old-guy-beers' like Hamm's or Old Style. But no worries - lots of good bottle and can choices. I had a Revolution IPA and my better half had a SeaBreeze! (Love the '80s!) Everyone loved the apps they ordered - wings, fries and some other goodies. I would gladly come back next time! read more

Amazing experience! Bartender was awesome and gave us great recommendations on everything! Will be planning on throwing some electronic music shows here as well! Food is phenomenal btw too, I've never been to a bar where it's actually good. read more

Pretty cool spot ... I came in on a Saturday night around 8 ... after 9-10 it turns into a hispanic club atmosphere. I would have been ok with that. However the staff went around and gave most patrons in before 9 bracelets so they didn't have to pay cover. I was not blessed with this courtesy based on my ethnicity... oh well, I get it. I apologize for being Native American read more

Amazing experience which included the best barbecue I've eaten in recent years. Imagine CHEERS' familiarity with a superbly prepared plate. I came in to try -- a first ever for me -- some pork belly. Excellent. With it, the pulled pork was perfect without any sauce. The ribs were as tasty as I remembered from my youth. And then, even with all of that flavor, the brisket was the best I've tasted. Topped off with an excellent double IPA, it was the perfect way to spend an evening. Kudos to the smoker. Well done! read more

I stumbled upon this pub while I was in Chicago for the week for work, and it exceeded any expectations I had for it. It wasn't too busy either nights I was there, so the atmosphere was more chill and everyone just having a good time. The bartenders were amazing! Both of Them and the cook are rock stars, super polite, and everyone I interacted with there was great. Prices were extremely reasonable as well. love this place, will be back whenever I'm back in Chicago next. :)) read more

Not a great experience tonight. Ordered the chicken avocado melt and I got some make shift chicken sandwich on a bun. They ran out bread to make a melt but I would have liked to have known that before they served me. It was just not that good. Service was friendly so it was not a total bust. read more

Absolutely wonderful service! Called to make an online order for the Deep Fried Oreos & the owner was extremely nice on the phone regarding the presentation & satisfaction of the ice cream that comes with the Oreos - first time trying them and oh my extremely deliciousness!! Highly highly recommend!!!! Would show picture but I ate first lol. Thank you again Rocky's! read more

Gimmie a break! $20 cover charge for NO crowd?!!! Ni que fuera Tropicana's ! Left to players bar and grill , great music great food there and NO cover charge ! Zero stars if possible at Rocky's read more

They have nice friendly waitstaff and VERY good bar food - especially for late night options. Nachos, quesadillas, wings, and burgers are all super good. A little on the cheezy side of decor and ambiance but maybe the regular crowd likes it that way. Bathrooms are clean enough but can use some fixing up. I'll absolutely go back. read more

We came here late around 11:30 on Friday night. The bartenders were nice and they had good music. The nachos with cheeses were actually really good too. The ambiance was good. And there's plenty of parking. Also the cover was $10 a person. I'm giving four because I guess there is no dress code and I saw people in sweat pants and hats. That's just me. But the place itself it's good. read more

Loved their nachos and chicken wings and the drink in a fishbowl. Not forgetting to mention awesome service with the lady, I wish I'd remember her name and the gentleman who took over. Their both very attentive with our needs. And I wish I could've taken a picture of the humongous platter for the steak nachos for $15.00 and 20 PCs wings for $24 I think. Yum yum! Thank you guys, we had fun! read more

I met someone for a business lunch here. Great service, great food and we will definitely return. Large bar with bar, high-top and standard tables. Also a very nice outdoor patio that is also pretty large. For a sport bar that was a bit on the dark side, the place is really clean. Very inviting. We ordered the skirt steak sandwich and the Cuban sandwich. The skirt steak was cooked perfectly and my friend was surprised at how good it was (given the bar was a joint). The fries were fantastic. Not standard fare by any means. My Cuban sandwich was done perfectly and tasted soooo good. I got a side of cole slaw which was huge and very fresh. Service was great and the price was great. I will definitely be back, hopefully in the evening when there is more vibe and I'll have a cocktail or two. Hidden Neighborhood Gem! read more

Drinks and servers were good. The only thing is the music, good variations but they need to change the genre a little sooner. They tend to stick longer in certain genres than others. I wish they played more English music as well. This will definitely be a place where people are throwing up on the floor , I was missed by an inch. Yikes! The staff were made aware and it seemed like they were going to kick her out but they didn't, as a matter of fact she drank more; she was all over the dance floor, me and my friends could smell her throw up and we weren't even next to her. I don't think I'll come back. read more

$20 cover? Seriously? This place is not worth going to for a $20 cover. That's ridiculous.. Come on Rocky's $10 a person should be sufficient to cover your DJ. read more

Back in the day I wasn't a big fan cuz of all the gangbangers in the area. The owner cleaned that up and has made this a GREAT spot with GREAT food. Seriously, the food is all good and is getting even better now with slow cooked BBQ items on certain days. The Latin Nights are super fun, they really turn this place into a club and the people love it. Depending on what you are looking for, Rocky's is versatile. If you want a chill, sit at the bar type of day/night, you can find it. If you are looking for a club night with old school Chicago house icons, you can find it. Aside from all that, the owner of this establishment is one of the most community conscientious, charitable, good-hearted people I've met. It's also very biker friendly read more

$20 cover when it's empty at 11pm on a Saturday night? I dont think so. It was my 1st and will be my last

One thing for sure is I'll never return here I've called this place so many times about how they over charged me and my partner my bill was $500. I ended up giving the waitress $100 cash for tip whatever reason I got charged $600 I've called spoke with the manager/owner and still yet have received my check in the mail of $100 I've been calling them to let them know I haven't received it and it's just been nothing but excuses read more

The first nite I ordered here. The food was good besides the rice but that is only because I don't personally like Indian style rice. Everything else was good. I don't eat pork, I told the waitress this and she added no pork to the receipt. The cook added pork anyway. I spoke to him and he blamed me and the waitress. Mind you, I witnessed her telling him to add no pork. I reminded him that it was placed on the receipt and be mindful next time. The Tex Mex corn bread was great but today when I ordered it a 2nd time it was burnt and had spoiled ingredients as if spoiled butter/milk was added to it. My twin and I went back to the bar and she complained by phone and in person. The cornbread was thrown away and replaced with corn bread that was cooked right but still tasted like spoiled milk, or spoiled butter, or spoiled cheese, or spoiled eggs was placed in the batter. read more

We came to Rocky's for dinner today with our kids after knowing of their great good from our younger days going there, what a treat! The wings and nachos were exactly as remembered and top notch, crispy and delicious. Tried the smoked BBQ this time which was also great! Our server Melissa was the best, we sat outside on the nice patio and she took great care of us! Thanks again Rocky's, we will be back soon! read more

Chicken Wings was firreeeee i came in on a slow day no one in the bar so i ordered I'm thinking it's gone be 5mins because u kno sometimes it's premade i was just hungry ready to sleep , so about 20min later i got my chicken and it was fireee read more

Great service and yummy food Its near O'Hare airport and great place to eat burgers.

The servers' and management's attention to detail is impeccable. Love coming here! The servers have even gone as far as remembering my favorite snacks and drinks. Also, this place has a really quaint dance floor with a great DJ. I've never danced more than I've danced here! read more

I used to love this establishment because it was a place to come and dance with my fellow Mexican friends who taught me how to bachata, salsa, and cumbia. Their $20 cover is over rated. I offered the DJ to give FREE lessons for bachata because dancing is my therapy, and I know it will and can help others. I came to my first dance lesson night, was paid and was ecstatic about returning to do it again. We had a blast ! Once I returned, I spoke to security guard John (who I have spoken to numerous times before) and had conversations with almost every security guard in the place. I always notified them when drunk chicks threw up in the bathroom or broke a glass. I truly enjoyed myself each time I came here. I visited the establishment 3 weeks ago only to be met with "Stand in line" after I was hired to teach Bachata. I dont mind following rules but I figure as a "new employee" this is not how one would be treated. I saw the security guard let his "homies" in without a wrist band, without waiting in line, without following the "1 in and 1 out rule", and without a face mask (as required by state law during this pandemic) . I am disappointed in the way you treated me as a woman, human being, and the new bachata teacher. Do better in communicating with your front line staff. Please consider hiring kinder security guards who can do the job without exuding their power over humans that come to support your business. read more

Been going here almost every Thursday night with my graduate classmates after class for drinks and late-night food. The crowd is pretty low-key (more people show up during the warmer months, though) which is nice because we don't have to wait to play darts and get pretty good service. The various foods we've purchased over the months during our weekly gatherings have not failed to please us, although it IS bar food. The mixed drinks do need a bit more alcohol in them, sometimes. I've been here once when the dance floor was open (and it was way too damn crowded) but I don't remember enough to comment on it. I can tell you, though, if you are looking for a quiet place (but not TOO quiet) to go out with a group during the weekday, and watch a couple games on TV while doing so, Rocky's is a good place to go if you're in the area! (I'm writing this after a night out there -- I'm exhausted!) read more

Well, I must say that the atmosphere at this place on a Friday night was perfect. A lively crowd with a dance floor isolated from the bar area and outdoor patio was refreshing, as my boyfriend and I weren't looking for much more than a bite to eat and a few drinks. The place was dimly lit, the music wasn't overbearing, and there were pool tables, dart boards, and a nice outdoor patio. A very ambient space in my opinion. Given the calm albeit fun atmosphere of this place, I was very disappointed with just about everything else. They have a fully stocked bar, but the female bartenders that served us didn't know how to mix a half decent drink, regardless of how nice they pretended to be. I ordered a Malibu pineapple, which was served to me in an 8oz glass, with only 1.25oz of Malibu. The rest was filled with ice, and I needed to mix it myself before I could taste the pineapple. They charged me $6.25 for this drink, which I found to be quite an insult. My boyfriend ordered a draft of Blue Moon, which was only 12oz as opposed to the traditional 16oz of a pint. They charged him $5, which would be reasonable if he had received 16oz. The food was okay. I ordered French onion soup, which seemed to be a safe bet. It came out cold...I had to ask for them to microwave it. I'm not sure how you could mess up soup, but it definitely wasn't worth $5. My boyfriend's pizza was pretty good; it came with plenty of bacon, but he complained that the crust tasted similar to a potato chip...too crunchy. For $8.75, we can't complain. Overall, this place is "so-so". The food is mediocre, and the drinks are overprice and poorly mixed. The ambient atmosphere of the bar on this evening, though, would have me come back to perhaps try another drink and play some bags. read more

The establishment is good, clean and service wide is a 4 star...however they are money thirsty the mixed drinks are diluted to water or juice level (fish bowl or long islands). The entrance fee is way over charged...the prices on the food menu and drinks list are acceptable. As a latino I am disappointed to latino management running bars, clubs and restaurants. There is always a restaurant fee to the establishment, it should be ilegal to charge those high fees 20.00 per person. We had a birthday celebration with party of 10 and they charge 20.00 per head. I am very disappointed but had no choice because nothing else was open. If you ever visit this place please consider drinking beer only. read more

We held a shower here today for my sister. The staff was friendly and accommodating. We asked for added tables for various reasons, and they spoke with us about the space and added whatever was needed. It is a bar space, so please be sure that will work for your group, but they pulled down screens so our party of close to 70 was separate from the general area. The food was great (we had pasta, chicken, salad, potatoes, & vegetables). We had buffet style to accommodate all our guests. You might want to bring table cloths to cover the tables, although we were fine without them. They did provide a few table cloths for the cake table, gift tables, etc. Two of the staff members went out of their way to help bring gifts to the car at the end of the event! That was kind and an impressive level of service. I'm glad we chose this restaurant for our event! read more

This is my go-to spot for wings. They are the only place in the area open/serving food late at night. I usually do take out and the wings are ready for pickup within 15 - 20 minutes. They are conveniently located in an area with a huge parking lot so there's plenty of parking. It's generally pretty loud inside and busy Thursday-Satuday/Sunday. They have pool tables, an outdoor bar area, and also some sort of slot machine area. When I pick up on the weekends it looks like everyone's having a blast. They have a good variety of music. Some weekends they have a DJ and others it's a live band or some sort of karaoke(I think). Either way, there's always some sort of entertainment. Their staff is very friendly and you'll generally see the same employees every time. The reason I'm only giving them 4/5 starts is because their wings are not consistent. When I first started eating here, the wings were HUGE & slathered in plenty of sauce. Sometimes I end up with tiny little guys for the same price. They don't always seem fresh, or the inside is blackish. And a couple of times they were barely covered in sauce. They are definitely worth the try and I will definitely be coming back for more! I'm not one to complain because I know how annoying it could be, so I try to be as polite as possible when there's something wrong with my order. They are super friendly and have never given me a problem with fixing my order. read more

Stayed at the nearby hotel and walked over to get something to eat. Went there for an early dinner. The atmosphere and ambiance was nice. TV's all around. It was a little loud for me. About 6 slot machines tucked away in the corner. Big bar area. Drinks were okay. Average price. Food was okay. Average price. Service was a little slow Overall it wasn't bad but won't be back. read more

Be careful with this place specially when you order high end bottles,got a blue label and received an open bottle no big deal but once I tried it it wasn't blue label,talked to the owner and said they don't do any tampering with the liquor,ironically I met someone that used to work there at another establishment and he told me that they do in fact refill the bottles with cheaper liquor,I guess they take advantage of the type of crowd they have that don't seem to knowledgeable of what they order,just a heads up just order beer if at all read more

Many reasons for the 5 star. First just so nice. I could not decided what to order and I am a little afraid of smoked. So what do the do give me a free sample platter I mean a platter. Well I am not a fan of smoked but that is just me so I got the skirt steak. Just amazing. I left a big free platter of samples of smoked. Just not for me everyone else loved it. Doug the pit master came out to talk to me and Michelle the bar tender is a gem. This local place deserves everyone's support. Don't let these gems vanish because of franchise. Can't wait to come back on business read more

The wings are amazing!!! They are deep fried and not too fatty. They were the perfect texture and crispness. I ordered the mild ones as I was not sure how spicy they would be and next time I will get the the hot as they did not burn at all. The waitress was very friendly and checked in on us a lot and I liked that no waiting with empty drinks. Hats off to this great place that is reasonably priced. read more

I came here with two friends the other night for dinner. We sat at the bar and had the best time with Dennis! We weren't going to eat but he talked us into trying some of the food and I am glad we did. Go here for some good drinks and even if you're not hungry, try the Ruben Rolls and Sweet Chili Shrimp. Sit at the bar with Dennis, he is funny and attentive! read more

Poorly managed, sleazy location in a strip mall, dimly lit since the inside is in rough condition, uneven pool tables, overpriced w/ a $10 entry fee on weekends even after events are over (they're not a nightclub...), gas station food, watered down drinks, no bands. This bar seems to think it's in downtown Chicago w/ none of the quality or taste (identity issues). All in all a rip off. read more

I ordered the Rocky Cobb salad in a wrap. It was good except for the 2 slivers of rotten avacados inside. I mean if your avocados arent good leave them out and say so. The service was slow. The dark furniture in the dark makes kind of seem dirty! I am not saying it is, but I felt uncomfortable because I can tell since it was hard to see. read more

The music was excellent but the server takes a long time to take us the orden. I am very disappointed with the night that I tried to celebrate my birthday because my husband make the reservation for my birthday and supposed to have a cake with a bottle. I never have any because they said that my husband never said that was my birthday and he when to ask to the manager and he came to my table and he said that he was his fault. I always come to celebrate my birthday and my friends too but after this I will never received again. read more
