    Ok, first off we were looking for a place to chill on our way up to cape Breton after a long drive from Boston and every other place was way too hot and muggy, so we went into here with perfect ac and met Nicole our server. We had a great experience here with Nicole’s recommendation of appetizers and drinks, so we made a reservation for our stop back in St John a week later for 8 of us. Not only did they have a spot set up for us when we got there, they had a table reserved that said Massholes on it! The welcome back, the food and drinks, the music was perfect for all! They remembered it was my birthday from a week ago, and came out with a hat and shot for me, with 50 cent It’s your birthday playing! I would 100% recommend this place to anyone that stays in the Hilton hotel, they just treat you like family there! It was like meeting new friends! I can’t say enough, thank you for this little hidden Gem, and the whole staff who were all smiles and fun. Loved every minute there, and will definitely be back when in St John!! Thank you Rocky’s, you should be proud of the staff you have there!

    Pretty excellent choice of meals and daily specials. The fish and chips is a great value on Friday’s along with the boneless wings. Very friendly and fast service as well. A (somewhat) hidden gem in Saint John!

    The food is great, in taste, in portions, presentation, and the prices are decent for the time we live in. Oh, and try the fried pickles! Good service, food, beer prices and atmosphere. Always a good time here. Try the suicide wings! Boneless if you like pure meat. They're tasty, somewhat spicy, but enjoyable nonetheless. Delicious wings either classic or boneless.

    Just had the 3 cheese omelet breakfast and it was the best breakfast I have had in years! Their home fries with fried onions are absolutely amazing! I tend to get take out from here quite a lot for supper and the food is always top quality and I would say I enjoyed their breakfast more than any other restaurant in town!

    Thursday night visit. Seated at the bar and server was Vanessa, certainly one of the best bartender/food servers I have come across. Great sports bar/restaurant for watching your favorite games or just having a drink and/or meal. My wife ordered the crunchy Caesar salad. Served with a flattened, crunchy chicken breast chopped up on top of the salad. Caesar dressing and there is also a balsamic vinaigrette with this as well. She really enjoyed this and said it was one of the better Caesar salads she has had. If you like Caesar salad, you will love this one. I had the Thursday steak special. Striploin steak ordered medium, with mushrooms. It came cooked perfectly medium (compliments to the kitchen staff) and the sauteed mushrooms were great with the steak. The steak here has great natural flavour and taste. And seasoning or marinade they add goes really well with the steak. And the steak goes really well with a double whiskey!! Staff and service was excellent as it always is. Friendly and welcoming here. Always enjoy my visits here.

    There’s a really really rude bar tinder’s there some nights when me and my gf go we never been asked for id and she has gone there more then me and this bar tinder comes over and Immediately ask for both of our ids and she won’t even look at my and then she told as to leave and said that this is a bat and not a pub and I told her if’s it a bar y r u guys serving home cooked food and she agreed that they sell food but you can only be in here with a parent or without her so basically denying us service and we did nothing wrong. If u don’t want this Hustle then I suggest u found a different place and don’t come here at all.🤬🤬🤬

    Big fan of Rocky’s. The atmosphere is always lively, the food is great but the staff make it one of the best places to hit in Uptown. The bar tenders and waiting staff are very good at their jobs and even the manger can be seen serving and cleaning up plates to help out when busy. Great job to everyone that works there. You are all a cut above the rest - cheers

    Awesome Sports Bar Daily specials are great. The wings are awesome and a great deal on Wednesday and Sunday. Highly recommend the Spicy PB&J Burger, it is absolutely delicious

  • 5/5 Rob A. 5 months ago on Google
    One of my favorite spots to grab a bite and a cold one in SJ. A great vibe before an event at Harbour Station or a big game on all the TVs. The menu offers something for everyone and the service is always good!

  • 1/5 James S. 8 months ago on Google
    Went for breakfast with family of 5. Service was really good. However, the potatoes that were served with my breakfast had NO seasoning. Not even salt or pepper. We ordered the grilled potatoes. But they were so plain and not even cooked 100%. ( add some seasoning and maybe throw some onions with the grilled potatoes. This would change everything) We told the server to let the kitchen know. We go for steak night, and never had a problem. But this place shouldn’t be serving breakfast! Toast wasn’t even toasted either and had no butter.. will not be back for breakfast

    Good food, great atmosphere - was quite busy for a Thursday evening. They have pretty good specials, but it’s the sports and servers that make this place a gem.

  • 1/5 Natashia S. 6 months ago on Google
    A friend and I went in for lunch today and didn't have the best experience.. we waited 20 minutes before someone came to take our drink order. Another half hour before we got our drinks , and an hour and a half before we got our food. My friend only wanted a cheese burger no side, but was charged $20 ish for the whole meal. Since waiting so long you would think they would offer a discount or a free appetizer.

    I come to Rockys every Thursday night for steak night and tonight they had new fries that were the best fries I've ever had! Can't wait to have them again next Thursday. Vanessa behind the bar is the best and makes Rockys the best spot to go for a drink and a bite.

    One of the best sports bars in all of Atlantic Canada. Great atmosphere and layout, great menu with a surprising variety of pub options...and the service is exceptional. Rachel, Vanessa, and Kristen rock and make everyone feel like a regular, even if you only get there a few times a year. Love this place.

    Great ambiance and experience. The staff are great and the food is ever delicious and evolving. Try out any of their chicken dishes when next you're in, you'll know exactly what I mean👍🏼

    Excellent service and top quality pub food at an affordable price. Food always hot, drinks always ice cold! Good job folks!

  • 5/5 James H. 1 year ago on Google
    LOVE Rocky’s, which is strange because I am not a huge sports fan. Best steak and eggs in town. The kitchen always does an amazing job. Front side staff do an outstanding job of making me feel welcome and brightening my day. Kesha always does an exceptional job but all the others do nearly as well. I have never had a bad meal or bad service there yet….

  • 5/5 Renée A. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was fresh, hot, and large portions!! Staff is always very friendly and upbeat. Our waitress also knew her football. We're so happy to be able to visit more often now that we've moved home to NB 😊

    Always love it here. Great service and the deep fried pepperoni is on point! Had the prime rib tacos for the first time, also delicious.

    We go to Rockies for a Christian mens breakfast where we talk about the world around us, sports, and spirituality. You might decide that this is a strange place to meet, it is but we have our reasons. Maybe someone will hear what we say and question what it is we are talking about.. Our breakfast it is noted by all whom attend is well cooked to our liking. Bacon, eggs, toast or blueberry pancakes makes a hearty meal.The staff have been cordial and comfortable with us being there. The atmosphere is right and pleasant. Other times it,s a good place to have a beer with friends and maybe watch a game on the many screens they have around the seating area.

    Great customer service, even when the bar is packed. Food was fantastic. Our table had the loaded kettle chips, nachos, wings and chicken burger. No complaints on anything. The owner even helps customers and is a delight to deal with. Thanks 😊

    Was there for supper and drinks last night with a group of 12 of us. This morning 3 of us went back for brunch. Absolutely amazing atmosphere, service, food and prices both times. Will definitely come back when I am in St. John again. Thank you so much.

    Even though we are from the US we have been to this restaurant more than once. Really good food, clean, and friendly servers.

  • 3/5 Dana E. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food. Service meh. Always understaffed and can be rude because they’re stressed.. don’t blame them then. Move you from tables midway through because reservations were made prior .. like doesnt make sense but again.. cheap area.

  • 5/5 Kevin S. G. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent service and tasty food. The bartender checked on us to ensure that our food and drink was satisfactory. Would recommend - look forward to visiting again.

    Everybody was curtious. The service was great. It didn't take long for the food to get too you. The food tasted excellent.

  • 2/5 Maxim R. 2 years ago on Google
    *Review based on a single experience, which was on the night of the LVI Super Bowl* Review sadly reflect the experience received by one staff member, not the entire restaurant as we couldn't really enjoy the whole experience. For some reasons, we decided to leave even before ordering the main dishes because service was really bad. So, a few stars for the food because the starters were good & tasty and ready relatively fast. Reasons for the bad service: - When we arrived, the person welcoming us asked for 3 different ID because she couldn't understand the date of birth on Quebec cards; - We told the server that we would order beers, a bit later starters and eventually main dishes. After ordering the beers, she only came back an hour later to ask if we were okay; - Woman taking our order kept sitting down with her friends at the table behind us and kept prioritizing them; - When we were eating our starters, two extra persons arrived to join the people behind us. BUT, instead of taking the two chairs at the end of the table, the woman asked another table to take one of their chairs and she put it right behind os on the corner or the table (to be beside her female friend). Doing that, she totally sat just in front of us and was hiding the TV. We told the server (won't mention her name but started with Mack and ended with Enzie) and she barely cared an proposed to move our table instead of telling the other other to take the normal seat at the end of the table. We asked for the check right away and left. - We reserved a week in advance and had probably the worst spot. Based on this experience, I won't be going to this establishment again as service is a priority on my list.

    Fair prices on local 32oz macro drafts, some of the best wings I've ever had (great price on wing night), loads of TVs for the games. Closed a bit early during a playoff hockey game early in the 3rd, but otherwise enjoyed my time there.

  • 4/5 Rebecca W. 2 years ago on Google
    Loads of TV screens with different sports playing. Some tables have their own tvs. Spinach dip was really good! We went to watch the Raptors game so didn't have tons of food but great atmosphere as the games began.
