I have had a really fun time when drinking with friends here when I visit town. I have ate here twice and one was not that great but it was probably due to being busy and staffing shortages. Always did have a fun time in here.

We have eaten at Roch's many times. The hamburgers are fresh and you can choose what you want on them. I always get grilled onions and pepper Jack cheese. Delicious. We get onion rings with our hamburger and they are the best. Eat at Roch's and you won't be sorry

Service and food was spectacular. Got the double Frisco melt, fries and split the pepper jack cheese curds. Absolutely spot on and would definitely recommend. TV's on almost every wall and great for game days. I heard from locals sitting next to us that pretty much named the whole menu as highly recommended. I will be trying again.

This one hurts. Honestly, there's no restaurant I've ever traveled so far to dine at. 2,035 miles. Okay, I didn't travel the majority of those miles JUST for this place...I was about a hundred miles away for another obligation. But still, even that hundred miles was the furthest I'd ever driven to check out a place. But I had to be here. I HAD to do this...for the name's sake. Roch's Place. It's my name too. 3rd proud generation of Rochs from France to America dating back to the late 1800s. So, when I sat down and ordered my beer, I slid my drivers license on the bar showing the bartender and telling her my story and that I'd love to meet the owner if he's around just to say hi and all that - and, hey do you sell any merch I can take home? She hears me out, looks at the license and says; "Oh, wow, how cool." and that was that. It wasn't particularly crowded, save for an obnoxious f-bomb dropping patron 3 beers in. But that's fine - it wasn't about me - it was about wanting to connect with the namesake of this place and/or at least have a touchpoint that made my long trip worthwhile. For food, I ask the bartender what the locals like and she says, "oh, the CHICKEN TENDERS are great.". Typically, when ordering tenders at other restaurants, you'll find an emphasis on the "tender" aspect. Not here. Over-battered and over-fried-to-death. Batter to chicken ratio 2:1. Not kiddin'. At some point a replacement bartender stepped in. I told her my 'Roch story' and asked again about the merch. After showing zero interest in any of it, she says; "I'll ask and let you know about the shirts. I don't know if we sell anything." I said; "Now?" And she said: "No, come back and I'll see." (I took that as; "I can't help, come back and maybe someone else who cares more will. Maybe.") Nope, I won't be back. I've been touting this place on socials for over 2 years and plugging my trip out to visit it for a couple of months - even going so far as to post on their page. No other visit could possibly make this place better. Sure, this is probably a nighttime hang...live guitarist out there on the deck, locals gettin' their drink on and the food, obviously, nothin' but a weak afterthought. But, if you're going to go to the trouble of being open for business, be OPEN, be present. Be anything but this.
