“Incredible place. I've never been anywhere like it. It's located on an airstrip so you can watch planes take off and land while you're enjoying breakfast. For breakfast they have an all you can eat buffet for approximately $13. Fresh made to order pancakes, French toast, and omelettes. They also have huge pans of bacon, sausage, cheesy hash browns, biscuits and gravy, tamales and enchiladas. Don't forget they have cinnamon rolls and fruit too. The staff is very nice and helpful, especially if you didn't know what to expect.“

“Very sad that they are closing soon 😔 Good luck Tony and Debbie in your retirement.“

“Honestly it depends on the night but usually it's a pretty chill vibe with good drinks and darts. this is a perfect pregame or after party spot in my opinion especially because it's usually a food truck out there really late till like two in the morning.“

“First time here, but I was very impressed by the food and service. I'm trying to eat a more plant-based diet and the veggie quesadilla was not only delicious, but extremely satisfying and filling. One of a few places that actually have blue cheese stuffed olives for martinis! Will definitely stay here again!“

“Good and customer service is very very good“

“Great food, friendly staff, seemed to offer a lot of games and activities would be more fun to go in the evening. Pool tables and arcade games. We went for lunch, a local spot for sure, everyone knew each other. Have to come back in the summer to play volleyball on the courts.“

“food was delicious waitress seemed a bit out of it.“

“First time here. Service was excellent but food was mediocre. Burger was ok. Fries were not fresh. You could tell they were frozen. Pickles were really good.“

“We had an incredible dining experience while celebrating our anniversary tonight. It was our first time visiting and certainly won’t be the last. We had a table outside and our server, Eric, mentioned it was one of the best in the house. We couldn’t agree more as it was a beautiful setting and view. Eric was wonderful - so attentive. Our meals were delicious, we had the lobster pasta and stuffed shrimp, then ended our night with a champagne toast and dessert on the house, an amazing touch of thoughtfulness and hospitality. Exceptional service. Thank you for making our special occasion even more special! We will 100% be back!“

“The food is amazing and very reasonably priced All the staff were kind, welcoming and accommodating.

We had the Spicy Girl roll, piece of Salmon Roe sushi, Orange chicken (crispy exterior without feeling oily and juicy chicken inside, the sauce was not overly sweet), Rice noodles with chicken (very savory), steamed broccoli and the Creme brulee cheesecake (so creamy and delicious! Not too sweet).

The atmosphere could use a bit more sprucing, the decor is very plain and light was really low, but honestly the food is the highlight and makes up for this tenfold.

We'll definitely be coming back!

Parking: Parking is ample and free“

“Great wait staff! Pros- Service was excellent! Many of food items were delicious- puff pastry, pate, panzanella salad, halibut, scallops, crème brûlée, chocolate mousse. Cons- tried to seat us at back table next to restrooms (common experience for older women); we asked for window seating and they accommodated. “Hamachi Crudo-Thai basil, peanut, strawberry”was over-sauced, sauce was heavy, had many jalapeños!; all disguised delicate flavor of fish.“

“One of my faves !! Love the people that work there and food is sinful!!“

“Haven’t been here in about 3 years and finally had a chance to check it out. Dj wasn’t quite my style but one bartender, Sarah, had darker hair, seemed to be the one who holds the first floor bar down, sold me. She was super sweet and attentive and I got to watch her teaching new girls how to make drinks and do the job. She was very personable and asked us how we felt like the night was going. She very clearly cares about her job and the establishment and I have to say, she was super quick how she took care of everyone who came by for drinks. She was fantastic and provided wonderful service.“

“Red rock is a great place to gather and have a delicious meal. They have great rotating specials and a menu that can accommodate a wide array of diets. Some of my favorite items they serve are eggplant Parmesan, their homemade hummus, all of their salads, and any pasta dish they serve.“

“I was there last night with my family I came from Florida a few days ago and went to ct to see my brother that goes there all the time with his wife and I may say it was amazing service and all 🙏🏻😊“

“I love this place . Great food and great drinks and the bartenders are awesome.“

“amazing time! amazing food. amazing service. the food was phenomenal, new york style pizza. i’m convinced they have a fellow new yorker in the kitchen because their classic margarita pizza was SO authentic. the service was great, kind, helpful, attentive. wait time was super short and we had three pizzas and a burger in our party. lovely atmosphere and seasonal beverages. 11/10. We will definitely be coming back here.“

“The food is excellent. The owner really puts love into her handmade dishes. Fresh ingredients make this spot a hidden gem. Try the shrimp rolls and the fried rice. Banging!!! Especially in a late night where all the restaurants are closed she is still cooking. ❤️ They have a juke box that has a good selection of pretty much anything. You can hear anything from Mobb Deep to the Eagles at this bar. Nice space to host a catered gathering as well as a small outdoor patio to enjoy the evening. Super cute spot. The bartenders could use an upgrade, as our order got forgotten for quite some time and there were quite a few forgetful moments but I guess it comes with the ambience. Try em...“

“Arrived for a very late lunch and happy to find them open. Hamburger cooked as ordered, very good as were mashed potatoes. Friend enjoyed her chicken rice soup and chicken sandwich. Attentive and accommodating service. Large multi level dining room with separate entrance for private space“

“Great service and food. Plenty of choices for all you can eat sushi, apps, and fried ice cream 🤩“

“Great food! Great energy!! Great service!! Food off the chain!! ~BlkJagGal from Texas!!“

“good vibes always, music always on point. food is banging & the staff us amazing...“

“Delicious pizza with fast and friendly service! Pizzas are personal size, perfect for catering to individual tastes. After a small mixup with our order, the restaurant insisted on comping the dish and even tried to send us home with an additional free pizza — totally above and beyond. The other pizza we were mistakenly sent also turned out to be fantastic. Five stars for food and service!“
