I held out hope the food was going to be amazing and unfortunately, it was a bust. We got the sticky cauli, beer cheese dip, and shrimp rangoons. The rangoons were pretty decent, but the other 2, yikes. The dip was half fridge cold and half room temp. The crostinis that came with looked like they had been completely submerged into a vat of oil prior to coming out. And it wasn't mixed well - I felt like I was eating globs of thyme in certain bites, yuck. The cauliflower batter just didn't mesh well with what it needed to do and the flavor was blaaaaand. The white rice was the best part of that dish and part of it was crunchy. Atmosphere was decent, the bartender was super nice, but swamped due to van andel activity and not enough staff (it was a Sunday night to be fair). Bummed!
I have been going to Rockwell Republic for a long while. I had a horrible experience while waiting for friends. The waiter was do rude to me. Told me as a grown adult I could not go up to the bar. Proceed to speak to in a disrespectful manner. I ended call my friend and having them meet me somewhere else. This was my favorite location I would always invite friend to meet me here for happy hour. This situation took place over 6 months ago and have not been back!
Normally I love Rockwell but this was a bad visit. We waited and hour and half to receive our food, 2 tables that were seated after us were served first. On top of that, the food was cold when it was served. We did at least get hot appetizers and the servers were nice
Food was wonderful and fresh. Takeout portions are smaller than dine in but overall the quality is top notch. All of the food was delicious. Only complaints are that we ordered the 3 taco meal and only received 2 tacos & that we asked for crostini and naan and received crostini and chips with the beer cheese dip. Also thankful that they were one of the few places that kept their normal hours in the mist of this water situation.
Fantastic food! Wide variety of drinks and the staff was very kind
I enjoy this place. Good variety of food and drinks. This last visit was a bummer.
Tony and Anton are the reason my wife and I come back week after week. We live nearby and of all the places downtown the friendly service of these two gentlemen is what keeps us loyal to Rockwells.
