Great spot for families. Rocks definitely flies under the radar considering how many bars are on Lincoln but we love this place. They have a good kids menu and a spacious dining area, along with some bar games. We usually see a few other families there if we do an early dinner with the kids. The side patio is great in the summer as well. Kid-friendliness: Great for kids

Great space! They graciously hosted our staff holiday party & despite a few too many shots...it was a great night with great food, service, games to add to the fun, & lots of laughs. Plus, it's always nice to support another small business & Coonley owned at that!

Jessica and team welcomed us for a small corporate Christmas party recently and we were all very impressed. The food was tasty, the beer and cocktails hit the spot, and the service was attentive. Thank you, Rocks North Center.

Amazing. Went above and beyond. We were craving French onion soup and it wasn’t on the menu this. Manager actually made it for us. So nice. Food was amazing. Will be back.

I love this place. Really great food. The thing that knocks it down is one time these demon baseball children were there and the staff did nothing to stop them from annoying the life out of everyone else at the bar. One of the demon baseball children even hit my mom in the head with a pool cue. I know it’s a more “family friendly” bar than most but when all the other patrons are clearly annoyed, someone has to intervene.

Great place for a burger and a drink! Highly reccomended.

Great food and atmosphere! We'll be back!!

Food was delicious, friendly staff, great outdoor patio! Had a great time during Ribfest, will be back!!

Nice city pub with good outdoor presence. Some sketchy characters but the staff and owners are nice. The food is good and creative burger of the month with some fun entertainment options.

Went in late on a Sunday 4 adults 2 kids. They were pretty accommodating. Didn't see a kids menu but also didn't ask. Impossible burger was delicious. Great beer menu. Had some weird extra charges on the bill related to splitting and using a credit card. Server was friendly! Vegetarian options: Impossible burger was delicious Parking: Usually can find a spot. Kid-friendliness: There is a pool table and good space. Had booster seats. Don't know about a kid menu.

This is a weekly spot for us. The food and drinks are excellent especially the southwest steak salad and their old fashioneds. Highly recommended

Ended up here for parade day without actually planning to, but holy cow am I happy I did! Great vibe, great food, good beer, amazing staff. Absolutely will be back!

Rocks Northcenter (and Rocks on Broadway) are both amazing! We love going there and never a bad meal (or drink!) This time was small group and everybody wants to go back. Service is outstanding, fabulous whiskey, rye and scotch selections and tasty food options!

Great food. Modest beer selection. Huge drink selection. Attentive staff. I really can't say anything bad about this place. They gave a great patio and in my eyes this may the best spot in the area for an impromptu hang or casual date night.

Super fun community. Love open mic night. Yummy bar food, nice beer selection.

Great local, family friendly bar, with pool, darts, and a great variety of burgers and whiskey! We came here on a Saturday afternoon around 6ish and we were basically the only ones there except for 2-3 families which was great for us. Our server was very attentive and we played darts for about two hours. We split a double cheeseburger and totts and it was more than enough food. Happy to come back and explore more burgers.

They let you eat your own food here so long as you order it off the menu they provide. I find that comforting as I'm a single dad with one arm and a really bad attitude. F the government... sorry I do that in all my posts specifically about restaurants that I like.

I got a 4x4 burger and it came out fresh. The only downside was the burger had no seasoning so you had to rely on the toppings for flavor. Given the price it was disappointing eating a bland burger.

I love Rocks!! Staff is friendly and accommodating, food always hits the spot, and drinks are tasty and reasonably priced. Love the pool table and shuffleboard. Perfect for a family or date night. Tim and (I’m so sorry for forgetting your name!) the lady bartender with the long black hair are both amazing. My wife and I always have a wonderful time.

Nice bar. Friendly and attentive staff. Steady stream of regulars coming through - always a good sign. They do that QR code instead of a menu thing here - not my favorite. But they do their fries right so I'm not going to mark that against them.

Need to cozy the place up, it was a little chilly lol. Nice personnel that night. Blacked salmon salad was good. The pretzel bites were more bready and not too pretzel like. The whisky drink recommendation was excellent.

Best burgers in town. Service is awesome.

Best burger place I've ever been to hands down. The fries are amazing as well like how is this place not filled with reservations. The burgers are like so delicious. I personally love the "El Gordo Burger". They also have great specials like half off on Wednesdays on burgers and on Thursdays for drinks. Just perfect.

Sundays are great at Rocks because it's not too crowded. The food is great and service is pleasant. We usually have a group of 10 or so, and it's always a good time. The nachos have frito chips, and it's delicious!

Food is fresh from the microwave. Always out of an assortment of beers they have on tap. And the service is not good. I had to go ask for my own menus after 5 minutes of not being greeted last time (and my last time). Worst part, they couldn't care less. Did I mention the food sucks?!

Been going to rocks for 3-4 years now maybe 1-2 times a month. Service this time was horrible. Waitress ignored my party for last 1 1/2. We had to walk over to get our check. I am somebody who tips very well(25%+) but this waitress didnt deserve the 15% I did tip. I will not return.

The food at rocks is consistent and good but I've had trouble getting my order to show up correctly more than once and on my last visit heard another customer receiving an apology for the same thing. Also I'm pretty sure they bring Pepsi when one asks for coke which isn't cool. If you don't serve Pepsi just tell the person, or their coke setup is really off. There are very kid friendly which is nice as a lot of places as bar like as rocks aren't very good when it comes to kids.

Great bar with lots of seeing & TVs! Really good Garlic-Buffalo Wings, burgers, & beer/drink selection. (Not bad drink specials/prices.) One of the only places around that has a pool table, & it seems like they have fun stuff going on different nights such as karaokee, trivia, & so on.

Great food, decent atmosphere (though bc of how many TV's, that greatly depends on the crowd). The bar itself is gorgeous, the shuffleboard is always a treat, primary complaint is the ridiculous upcharge to swap in an impossible burger.

I went in on a Tuesday to have a drink. Of course it was not busy because it was a Tuesday night but I had a great experience. The person behind the bar was friendly, attentive and interacting with another group sitting there. My drink was strong and worth every penny. I will return and check out the food!

It was a quiet Friday afternoon when we stopped in to try the beer feature of the month. Cool to know they have a special draft and whiskey of the month for the entire month. Butch was a personable and attentive bartender. Menu looked really good too.

The menu sounds amazing and the food is pretty good but there is a large quality value issue with their food. I got take out and was expecting to have a really good feast with friends for the $50 I spent. When I opened the containers at home I found my $6 bowl of chili was in a half filled container that measured a total of half a cup of product. My cheese burger was nothing but a burger on a bun not even cheese. My $10 order of pretzel bites was exactly 10 tiny bites. I will not be wasting my money here again.

A cool place to hang out with friends. Awesome beer. Great food. Nice music and courteous & extra polite staff are some things that make beer guzzling a bright activity here.

I stopped into Rocks on my way through town. Great service and prices to match. I only tried two burgers but I assume they are all delicious.

This is a nice spot for a decent burger and a glass of whiskey. We stopped by on Whiskey Wednesday and really enjoyed the selections and the prices of the whiskey. The burger special was also very much worth getting. If you are looking for a place with a big menu and daily specials, this is the place to go! Need to get back for Whiskey Wednesday for sure.

Great food with some nice specials throughout the week. Not really a bar scene until late so good place to bring family for dinner during the afternoon. Really friendly and helpful staff. One of my friends thought her drink was a little off and the server and bartender went out of their way to make sure it was just how she liked it. I'll be back

Definitely has great burgers there’s no doubt. But the quality can be hit or miss depending on busy they are. Sometimes perfect, other times it looks like they just slapped the food on a plate. Beer and whiskey focused drink menu with a large selection and nightly specials. Atmosphere is a mix between sports and college bar that probably could use some updating. I would recommend ordering through grub hub rather than dining in.

Great food and specials. Tuesday night features the best trivia in town as well as discounted tacos and half priced cocktails. Tim is the best host you could ask for and treats everyone like a regular!

Great nightly specials. Outdoor seating is lovely in the warmer months. They also have darts AND live music.

Great food, beer, and whiskey selection. I happened to be there on burger night and it was great. The burger was tasty and the price couldn’t be beat. Service was on top of everything as well. Will definitely be back if I’m in the Chicago area.

Our waitress was incredibly busy and it was hard to get her attention, but we did get our burgers and they were pretty good (and half-price because it was Wednesday!) They've got some decent daily specials, so check out their website. Just make sure you don't have an elsewhere to be, or be ok with being late.

Nice and big space with plenty of TVs to watch the games. Good size bar with lots of staff and great food options! The service can be a bit on the unattentive side but if you're just going to hang out, drink and eat and watch the game, totally worth it.

A fantastic spot along Lincoln Ave with a great local beer selection and delicious bar food. The staff are all friendly and helpful and they make from regulars to first time patrons feel welcome. They have awesome trivia on Tuesday nights and will often have UFC events shown here with specials. Must do if you’re in the neighborhood!

Really great burgers and prices to match. The service is friendly and fast even on weekends. Found this place on a whim when our first option was way too crowded on a Friday. We walked in to Rocks, were seated immediately and had our food within 20 minutes of ordering. Safe to say we have a new regular place!

Wonderful waitstaff, barkeeps, and menu. The daily specials are amazing (my friends and I keep thinking we'll go out somewhere else on Monday, but $6 Soup+FULL sandwich and 1/2 off all adult drinks) and the food is great too. If you're looking for a place to relax and have fun with friends, I couldn't recommend it highly enough. Also, there's a shuffle board table. So, you know... awesome.
