I used to live right around the corner from Rocks in Lakeview, so I am writing from experience of having been there roughly 20 times over the past couple of years. For me Rocks was a go-to place for a solid burger, salad, or chili. Bar none, the black and blue chili is some of my favorite chili anywhere. The burgers are creative - they have a burger of the month and it's usually pretty spectacular.
Outside of the food the place is a sports bar, meaning a ton of TVs, a jukebox, etc. Bartenders and servers are pretty cool and never had any problems. Also worth mentioning is that you can call in for take-out, which is what I would usually do after a long day at work.
Long story short, a great neighborhood bar/restaurant in Lakeview. I'm sure I'll be back in the future.
