Seriously the second worst place in the world

by 8164nichold

I love to say sixteen plus dollars for a chicken salad with wilting lettuce and overcooked chiken. I could have honestly gotten a better salad from the 7-11 across the street for half the price and then not also have to deal with the "dirty" blonde excuses for waitresses that they apparently employ there. I was also told i couldn't stand where i was standing several times for no apparant reason. Unless your looking for overpriced food and a bunch of weird old guys wearing Ed Hardy everything this isn't the place for you.

• Pros:  the Men's room and the silverware
• Cons: None, except for everything

Beware

by khomle

I hosted my friend's party there about three months ago and have been disputing the charge with my credit card company. I got the credit card slip and filled out a tip amount and signed it, but did not take my customer copy of the receipt. A few days later I was surprised that the charge on my card was for more than I remebered, so I asked them for a copy of the receipt that I signed. When I received it I was shocked to see that they had filled out the customer receipt for a higher tip amount and forged my signature on it! And that's what they charged my credit card. So for everyone out there, make sure you take your customer receipt with you or else it will be used fraudulently! Businesses are getting desparate with the economy situation.

• Pros: food

Worst Service EVER

by FairJudge

I will never ever recommend this place to anyone. This joint is a rip-off. They over charge you for drinks and food. Too crowded.... To noisy.... Not worth the cost.... I agree with the other post: The food is very bad here.

• Pros: Location
• Cons: Rude Service

Mediocre food...at best, chastising server, good bar staff

by tyronebiggs

I came here on a Saturday for dinner and was disappointed. The food was mediocre at best. The Rockit Pockits were served with ketchup on a bed of lettuce, which to me was not the best way to present this dish, anything on a bed of lettuce looks like it should be in a styrofoam box. The sweet potato fries were mushy like they were frozen. The burger was good, but that's not hard to screw up. Our server was "there" but we felt like she was chastising us when she would answer our questions. She had tattoos, but we don't remember her name. My wife ordered the tilapia dish and that was the saddest looking fish I have ever seen served. The string beans totaled to about 10 on the plate and the rice was disgusting. The only highlight of the night was sitting at the bar. The bartenders were so nice, heck, even the barback was very attentive. After sitting down and having good conversation with the bar staff, I left a lot happier than I initially was. I will only go back for a happy hour perhaps.

• Pros: Good burger, good bar staff, good ambience.
• Cons: Abnoxtious server, bad food and food presentation.

Best burger in Chicago!

by JazzG

It was very easy to become a regular at Rockit. In my first trip I was completely sold when I tasted the Rockit Pockets ( a Philly cheese steak twist) and the Rockit burger. the service is amazing, and thus complements the food well. After dinner, for a few more drinks, I highly recommend experiencing the upstairs level. Especially on Tuesdays when they have their "live band karaoke". This is the highlight of my week. A full band plays while you stumble and sing to a classic rock song. Best feeling ever.

• Pros: The food, the booze and the karaoke

Fantastic Cheeseburger

by johnnybananas1

Wow, if you wait an hour for your waitress to show up without flagging someone down that's your own fault. Restaurants, like any business must hire new staff and train them. Sometimes people make mistakes. I went there recently and had a very nice meal. They have a very diverse food and drink menu. The waitress wasn't super attentive but she was easy to flag down when we wanted something - I like it that way. The kobe beef burger was among the best I have had (if not the best). Everything from the bun to the brie cheese was high quality. Our group left happy.

• Pros: Waitresses, burgers and music
• Cons: Many posers dine there
