I used to go to the Rockton Inn nearly every Friday when I was much younger, and the food was fabulous. I recently returned, and was pretty disappointed. The service was horrible. They seemed to have plenty of staff (and empty tables) but it took 20 min to be seated. 3 separate waitresses tried to take our orders. Our menus... More

Kind of eclectic, paninis, quiche, blackened chicken, stuffed chicken breast with crabmeat & cheese. Excellent service, and neat decor.

This place was suggested to us by some family. We did not have a good experience at all. The food is exactly what you pay for. My husband and I both had steak, but I'm not sure it was at all a poor piece of beef. The appetizers were not good and the decor was questionable. The servie was poor... More

Our visit this evening was very disappointing. We had a Groupon which they refused to accept due to the fact that we ordered the Date Night Special. I had the coupon on the table when we ordered, but they said nothing until after they brought our appetizer and then told us we would not be able to use it because... More

Over the past several years we have watched the Rockton Inns food go from EXCELLENT to TERRIBLE. We ate their last night and will never be back. For the second time in the past month our food was served cold. Although we tried different selections from the menu everything was tasteless and overcooked. The staff appeared to could care less...

We hadn't been to this restaurant in several years and recently bought a Groupon to see if anything had changed since our last visit. NOPE ... it's still a dreary old building with no decor or nice seating to match the current pricing. The food was okay but nothing about this place would make me want to return. Goodbye Rockton...

Our meals at the Rockton Inn were very tasty, our server was charming and attentive. We were pleasantly surprised to enjoy live music with our dinners! We will definitely be back!

This is a very good place to eat. The outside looks a little "generic". It is very nice on the inside. Our food was great!

I hadn't been for several years after a couple disappointing visits. I think they might be back in the groove. Food was good and service is always great.

This is our fourth time here in the past two years. Each time we come, the food and service seem to just have deteriorated. My food was average & the service wasn't stunning in view of the fact that it was mid week and nearly empty! This is most certainly our last visit. We only came this time because we... More
