Rocky River Brewing Co — Restaurant in Rocky River

In our never ending search for trying out new restaurants, we discovered the rocky river brewing company. We visited with a friend of ours on a Thursday evening. The parking lot was quite full so we were expecting a potential wait when we got in. Thankfully, there is a very large dining area and we got a table immediately.

Our waitress stopped by quickly after we were seated and grabbed our drink order. The menu is quite diverse and it did take us a bit of time to each make our choice.

I ended up going with their Bavarian Pretzel as an appetizer for the table and then the Italian Chopped Salad for the main meal with a side of French fries. My wife went with the tuna bowl and our friend ordered the goat cheese balls and the Thai chicken salad.

Appetizers came out very quickly. The pretzel was giant and much larger than expected. The goat cheese balls were the hit of the night for the table though. The combination of the deep fried outside with the creamy cheese inside paired with the hot honey marmalade was fantastic.

For our main entree's, overall I was happy with my salad but would have loved to see more actual protein in the dish. It was a decent sized salad overall but felt the actual meats were a bit skimped on compared the my wife's tuna bowl or my friends Thai chicken.

We were much too full for desserts so we skipped that option during our visit.

Given that this is brewery as well. The general vibe and atmosphere is very similar to places like fat heads. As such, the overall volume in places like this tends to be on the louder side. Not a place I would go if you are trying to have a quiet conversation as there were several tables around us being quite loud that made a normal indoor volume conversation difficult. You basically have to raise your voice in kind to those around you to be able to talk at your table.

Overall, a restaurant we would visit again in the future for sure. The quality of the food was great and we would imagine other options on the menu to be just as good as what we had...

So I’ve been to RRBC multiple times & have never had a bad experience, except this past time. I really wanted to take my boyfriend there because he’s never been & I raved about how good it was but neither of our expectations were met. We ordered an appetizer which were the aisan nachos, I’ve ordered them in the past and loved them but this time they were way too spicy. Whoever made them put on loads of the wasabi sauce & my boyfriend and I could barley eat them we had to take the sauce off with our forks. Also, when we notified the waitress she didn’t really seem to care but we said whatever because our food was about to be done anyway. So our burgers come out & I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more dry burger in my life but we said we’d eat it and give it a chance. We both were eating & noticed there was no cheese on either burgers. The burger on the menu doesn’t even come with cheese... you have to ask for it & its $1 extra... cheese on a BURGER is $1 extra... & the waitress had a slight attitude explaining the cheese doesn’t come on it.... but she did bring us both out a cold slice of cheese... yum. Also, we both wanted a pickle on our burger, guess what? Thats also $1 extra. & the annoying part is they don’t even put the pickle on the burger, it’s a spear pickle on the side...Which is absolutely absurd. We could’ve went somewhere else paid way less money & had a way better experience. I told my boyfriend what a great place this was & it was clearly my mistake. I will never be...

I come here almost on a weekly basis. Every weekend Christian always takes care of me. Every bartender here is great and has an amazing personality. Everytime I come here I have a lot of fun as well as enjoyment of wonderful food. I love getting the calamari here it is just to Die For What are the best versions of calamari I've ever had period another appetizer that it's really hard not to get every time I come here is the Asian nachos. Both of these items are on the lighter side and healthier options. Another rule popular appetizer is the fried buffalo cauliflower. Every Friday and Saturday they run a special for dinner and it's always worth checking out sometimes they have pork shoulder which is the best damn thing I think I've ever eaten. I get the Thai chicken salad a lot it's one of my favorite things around. This place is beautiful and it is huge great place to come for parties. They have a giant patio that they call a tiki bar. A lot of choices on liquor and they are a brew house so they have a lot of signature beers. You can buy a growler of your favorite beer and take it home with you as well as get discounts on refills at the future. I love the service the food and the management I will keep coming back as a repeat customer forever. The owners name is Bob, he's very nice-you will probably see him sitting at...
