Rimrock Bar & Grille — Restaurant in Phoenix

Ahhhh Rimrock, I don’t even know where to begin. Was it the overpriced meals? Was it the waitress that checked in with us once an hour? Was it the Cajun Chicken Alfredo they might as well call White Salt Chicken? I don’t even know anymore!

When my partner and I arrived, we sat ourselves and were quickly greeted and offered to buy drinks. She ordered a water and I ordered a 16 oz beer (which became a 20 oz beer on the check). We then perused the menu which was literally a carbon copy of the room service menu which would have been the way to go had we known that was the case. For appetizers, we ordered a Bavarian Pretzel. For mains, I chose the Phoenician Burger (Jalapeño and Pepper Jack - $19) and she chose the aforementioned White Salt Chicken ($28). The waitress asked us if we “obviously” wanted our pretzel first, to which we “obviously” said yes to!

All was great until we received our full meal without a sign of the pretzel. We let the runner know we were waiting on that to which he said, “sorry, we’ll get that for you right away”. He wasn’t lying, but the pretzel definitely wasn’t even braided by the time I was halfway done with the Phoenician Burger! If you love Pretzels and Beer Cheese as a dessert, this might be the restaurant for you!

Now for the Cajun Chicken Alfredo. I’m honestly wondering if they boiled the pasta in the jacuzzi (which is very nice by the way) and marinated the chicken in sodium tablets. The pasta tasted like the garlic version of a La Croix, just the essence of a flavor. It was extremely underwhelming and they should send the chef to Olive Garden to take a course on how to make a mediocre Fettuccine Alfredo.

Overall, the food was mediocre for the price, the service was horrible, and the ambience was alright. It’s great if you love sports and even better if you love WWE. But this is a place I’ll be sure to never visit again! They are truly blessed to not be within walking distance from any other restaurants because if they were, they’d be just another food court serving complimentary breakfast. I had high expectations for food in general in Phoenix, but man am I glad I’m headed home to NYC tomorrow.

Save your money and order Uber eats or if you have a car, drive very very far away...

The menu is very limited. Between my significant other & I , we were able to try almost every entree with-in a 5 day period. Over-all, the food tastes amazing. And 20min was the longest you have to wait for meals to be ready. For dessert, I recommend the lemon-berry torte, it's so delicious! ( Although I'm not big on lemon type desserts, the lemon 🍋 taste is very light and however it's made the whole thing is amazing) Be prepared to spend $50+ for two people. ( FYI - this Hilton hotel doesn't have microwaves in ANY of the rooms, just one little dinky one in the lobby near the front desk. As well as any outside place to eat is at least 2or more miles away, so be ready to pay $50+ at dinner or...

July '21: Draft beer prices are sky high. This is an airport hotel in Phoenix, not an elite bar in downtown Manhattan. Time to find a new place to quench my thirst! Edit: June '22: At 101F outside, I opted to try this venue again. Bartender nearly drove me out. I told him I wanted a large beer and menu. He advised me that kitchen was backed up and not even taking orders for another 20-30 minutes. I changed my order to a small beer, thinking I'd have better luck elsewhere for dinner. He charged me $12 for a 12oz beer. I questioned him and told him to tell the management that it was outrageous. I won't be buying beer or food...
