Yummy Margaritas

by Sidny

I am SO picky about my drinks and it's nearly impossible to find places where I actually like the bar menu. Who knew a brew pub could make such excellent drinks?! I highly recommend the margaritas. And I never say that! My husband goes for the beer, I'm there for the margaritas. Oh yeah and the food is delicious too.

• Pros: Best Margaritas
• Cons: None

Another Utahn embarrassment.

by illiniruss

Go easy with all the medals and best-in-state awards, Utah. It's still Utah. Save it. With the alcohol that isn't there, they try to mask their beer with over-powering flavors. This "fine establishment" also thinks that after sampling 7 of their beers of 4 ounces each, you have gone over the limit and are prohibited from purchasing their premium "Reve" beer. I'm sick of Utah bars deciding for their patrons what is responsible drinking. I thought their italian sausage grinder , a calzone-like dish, sounded outstanding. Come to find out, the meat is spongy and the skin is rubbery. It's nearly impossible to find good italian sausage west of the Mississippi, but this was a complete disappointment. The service and ambiance of the place was just fine, but I won't be back. The positive raves I'm reading about this place are shocking. I consider myself lucky to not be from this state.

• Pros: Attractive ambiance, decent service
• Cons: Consistently over-rated

Good atmosphere, good beer, average food

by labrit

We were expecting great things when we went to the Red Rock. The place certainly has a good atmosphere and is clearly very popular. Perhaps our expectations were too high but we were disappointed with the food, not that there was anything wrong it was just OK. I wouldn't go out of my way to go here but it is pretty steady for an ordinary (ie not a special occasion) night out

• Pros: Lively, good beer
• Cons: Small car park, average food

Good Beer! Lousy Food

by boscoe4life

The original chef for Red Rocks must have departed long ago. Anything besides the hamburger is really asking too much from this chain. I had a stuffed mushroom cap that was a molten mass of tasteless goo covered in canned marinara sauce. To spare you the rest of the meal figure it safe to say eat at home before you go, unless you are in the mood for something REALLY simple. Have a couple of beers and watch the game and hang with friends that's the best option.

• Pros: Good Beer
• Cons: Food is barely north of Denny's

consistently delicious

by taylor3000

I go to red rock almost every weekend, the food is delicious! I usually order the scallops or the flat iron steak, and it is always delicous. I've also had their salads and pizzas, which are ok but nothing too special. It is usually very crowded on friday and saturday nights, which makes it extremely difficult to have a conversation. There tends to be lots of loud people drinking. They do have good beers, although usually i order wine and the wine list is rather limited. Service is adequate - it is pretty quick but never too friendly. They seem to focus more on efficiency than making you feel welcome. One complaint i do have is that they used to include a salad or soup with every entree, and now you have to pay an extra $2 to add that onto the meal, which is pretty obnoxious. It is definitely not romantic, and a better option if you're looking for a bar atmosphere.

• Pros: great steak, scallops, salads
• Cons: very noisy!

Surprising Good Food

by ClassicLady

This was my first visit to Red Rock, so I wasn't sure what to expect. It wasn't the spacious, clean, upscale luncheon experience I had, though. The staff was terrific -- attentive without smothering or being chatty. The food choices were surprisingly varied. I enjoyed the tuna pita while my companions devoured lasagna and salmon. The decor hada nice contemporary feel and it was well lit without being too bright. I didn't feel like I was in a pub but more like a great restaurant with a bar. It was a perfect choice for a business lunch. It may have a different feel evenings and weekends, but I'll be going back for lunch!

• Pros: Great service, Terrific menu
• Cons: Confusing parking

K iller Brews and fun environment.

by mofuner

Red Rock has been around for a long time. I have eaten there since when they first opened and I still go there about once a month. They do a decent job with their service. It is sort of casual but that is the tip they are on so it works for them.

Their Fish and chips are by far my favorite item. Believe it or not, good fish and chips are hard to find in Salt Lake City.

• Pros: Good food and drink good price.
• Cons: Sometimes very crowded.

THE BEST SALT LAKE CITY HAS TO OFFER

by janedayz

Went two nights in a row it was so good, and both time were consistantly great! Service outstanding! Prices very modest for the quality of the food. Had the Salmon with a champange mustard sauce, and it was incredible! Would really reccomend this place to anyone who loves food as much as I do.

wonderful for a date

by Agardenier

I have been to this location twice and it is one that I will keep coming back to. The beer selection is great and the menu is very extensive. I have had a very hard time finding good seafood in Utah but their salmon and halibut were absolutely amazing...best I have ever had. The service was what I would expect from this type of establishment. The waitress was attentive and ready to offer up suggestions. All in all a great place to dine.

• Pros: wonderful food and beer
• Cons: parking can be a pain

Terrible Customer Service

by DaveSr

We have eaten at Red Rock before and have never been impressed. We went there this last Friday night for a friend?s birthday. The waitress was terrible. We had nothing to drink with our meal because she took too long to bring a refill, at which point most of us were ready for our check, but hence she had still not brought one of our other friends her meal yet.

We tried to get them to split the check up, because none of us wanted to leave her a tip. They wouldn't do that and we were forced to leave a group tip. Out of the eleven people eating dinner there that night I don't believe one of us will want to ever go back.

And the food my wife and I had was not good, stay away from the Cajun Chicken Pizza for sure.

• Pros: Beer - okay
• Cons: Service, food
