Dark, cozy with wood paneling galore, Rocky’s welcomed us with a “Cheers-y” feeling. Get ready to wait for a seat amongst the locals, and make sure you have some cash as this joint doesn’t accept plastic. After settling in and sipping our fairly priced pints we noticed how extremely clean everything was. I mean, I’m not sure how many cans of Pledge they blow through here but I hope they are purchasing it in bulk. So let’s get to it huh? If this place had a motto it’d be, “If in ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. I mean were talking no frills, get what you came for, traditional American burger. A classy red basket came filled with standard bar fries atop a piece of paper. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean bad fries. I mean medium size, crispy on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside, yummy bar fries. They almost hid the treasure of a burger that was buried underneath. We marveled at the project we were about to begin and realized it looked like something our uncle might serve us at the family bbq. Upon wrapping our mouths around this thing, we quickly realized it was NOTHING like our uncles burgers….. The meat was cooked perfectly, pink in the middle, and a texture almost of meatloaf? I mean soft and savory, I didn’t even know a patty could taste this good. But Rocky’s, please, invest in some better buns! It’s okay, but it’s like displaying a beautiful ruby on a dirty rag, you’re taking away some of the brilliance! The burger came with lettuce, tomato and your choice of grilled, raw or no onions. We enjoyed each bite and didn’t neglect our fries. By the end of it, I’d spent $11.50 plus tip, on a burger, fries and a beer. I left completely satisfied wondering when I’d have the chance to return to this diamond of a dive. If you’re in the mood for a burger done plain and simple, Rocky’s is your place. I give the Rocky’s burger a Quad - straightforward, fresh and delicious.
