The kitchen was partially shut down for renovation but we weren’t told until we were seated. When we received the menu it was basic items that they were only able to serve. The items we viewed from the online menu were very different. Only sandwiches and some appetizers were available. We ended up leaving. Only wish the restaurant was more upfront online and before being seated that the menu was limited due to the kitchen being renovated. We ended up leaving for a restaurant across the street. Hope to try RBB again when the kitchen is back to working order.

Rock Bottom is one of the better chains. Food is good and you seldom are surprised -- which is what you want from a chain. I also want to give kudos to Melissa, our server. She was excellent. She worked hard, had a great smile and infectious personality. She really was excellent. Very nice Tuesday evening overall.

Despite the problems in the kitchen (grill not working which narrowed the menu down) we still had a good time and good food. Randel is a wonderful attentive server (ALL of the servers we've had here have been great). This is my go to place for good beer, good food and great service.

Service was very good. They were out of the beer I requested, so I settled on Plan B. Still not a bad choice (an American Ale). Food was good and arrived promptly.

We had an excellent meal & the host seated us far enough away from the bar that carrying on a conversation was no problem. I enjoyed my experience there and would recommend this restaurant to others!

Rock Bottom is big enough that it allowed my friend and I have to have a productive work session over dinner. The food was average, but the service was very good.
