Nice food and good ambience

We had a wonderful experience at Rock and Hawk Sports Bar. We celebrated a graduation with 6 people. Everyone raved about the food and the service was on point.

Ordered from the new Rock & Hawk menu... the MOUNT OREAD MEDITERRANEAN MÉLANGE... The yogurt dill kale salad was made with sweet vanilla flavored yogurt. It really missed the mark. Service was slow, never got drink refills and took us 80 minutes from being seated to paying our bill.

It was loud crowded and slow. No kids menu was a shock as well. $15 chicken fingers for the kids. Waited 30 minutes before our drinks arrived and our food order taken. Much preferred the menu when it was Bird Dog.

We loved our evening at the Bird Dog Bar! We will definitely go back there for another great evening!!!

Walking into the Oread hotel there was construction - they lady at the front desk was rude to us and acted like we were idiots b/c we didn't realize they moved the entire restaurant into a banquet room at the end of the hall marked "in use". Not to mention Open Table mentioned nothing about construction and nothing about how we'd be sat in a banquet room.

Booked the reservation (8) on January 12th for February 23rd; however, upon arrival we discovered the main dining room was closed for maintenance/renovations. We were able to pivot to Encore, where we had a great dinner. But, the purpose of dining at Bird Dog was to experience a spot unique to the University of Kansas. I realize things happen, just a heads up would've been nice.

Basically they were understaffed. One bartender in a college town after a game. Brought wrong drinks and after 40 minutes we left without eating

Whatever you do, don't order the skillet nachos. The menu says it comes with sour cream and pick - it doesn't. We returned our first order because they were burnt and only had cheese and some meat. Our waitress was kind enough to bring us two new orders - not burnt but still just meat and cheese. I'm not paying $20 for that.

I had the fish and chips and they were soggy and not at all crisp. My son had the tiniest salmon filet, tablespoon of rice and mushy Brussels sprouts for $25. The BYO burger and Cobb salad were fine but it was pretty MEH! We decided to go on a Friday to celebrate and we're just underwhelmed. Wasn't horrible. But definitely wasn't great or even good.

The pork is amazing - smoked in house! I've had several menu items and all are delicious!

The seating was good...the service was limited. They only had one waitress to handle the entire dining area. She was very kind and attentive, but was extremely limited as to having the time to meet our needs.

It was a beautiful spot to meet a friend for cocktails and appetizers.

Went to Bird Dog after a KU basketball game. We were seated almost immediately. After about 20 minutes I finally tracked down a member of the wait staff to bring us water and take our order, wings and nachos. After waiting for 1 hour for our food we left. The waitress seemed more interested in flirting with the intoxicated patrons than checking on our order. The person at the front desk said they were understaffed and had no restaurant manager at the time. No one seemed deeply concerned that we were leaving without being served. Not worthy of the Hilton brand.
