I have been going to Rockwell Republic for a long while. I had a horrible experience while waiting for friends. The waiter was do rude to me. Told me as a grown adult I could not go up to the bar. Proceed to speak to in a disrespectful manner. I ended call my friend and having them meet me somewhere else. This was my favorite location I would always invite friend to meet me here for happy hour. This situation took place over 6 months ago and have not been back!

I held out hope the food was going to be amazing and unfortunately, it was a bust.We got the sticky cauli, beer cheese dip, and shrimp rangoons. The rangoons were pretty decent, but the other 2, yikes. The dip was half fridge cold and half room temp. The crostinis that came with looked like they had been completely submerged into a vat of oil prior to coming out. And it wasn't mixed well - I felt like I was eating globs of thyme in certain bites, yuck. The cauliflower batter just didn't mesh well with what it needed to do and the flavor was blaaaaand. The white rice was the best part of that dish and part of it was crunchy.Atmosphere was decent, the bartender was super nice, but swamped due to van andel activity and not enough staff (it was a Sunday night to be fair). Bummed!

Normally I love Rockwell but this was a bad visit. We waited and hour and half to receive our food, 2 tables that were seated after us were served first. On top of that, the food was cold when it was served. We did at least get hot appetizers and the servers were nice

Food was wonderful and fresh. Takeout portions are smaller than dine in but overall the quality is top notch. All of the food was delicious. Only complaints are that we ordered the 3 taco meal and only received 2 tacos & that we asked for crostini and naan and received crostini and chips with the beer cheese dip.Also thankful that they were one of the few places that kept their normal hours in the mist of this water situation.
Tony and Anton are the reason my wife and I come back week after week. We live nearby and of all the places downtown the friendly service of these two gentlemen is what keeps us loyal to Rockwells.

Fantastic food! Wide variety of drinks and the staff was very kind

Horrible hostess. Unfriendly, avoided customers to dodge wait-time questions, and ultimately provided a level of service equal to that of an entry level Golden Corral employee. The only savings grace, and hence the two stars, was the bartender who was very friendly and service oriented. Would not recommend on a busy weekend night. Brunch is still 10/10

Food and service are always good when I go here. The atmosphere is nice very vibey. My only complaint is how their pricing have just continued to go up but somethings are worth it.
Great service! And great building to be in! Food was average. Probably because of a crowded night but still good!

Wow how the mighty have fallen. Rockwell used to be a Great spot! Amazing food. Better cocktails and amazing vibes. After being gone for a few years I returned last night and wow I’m UNIMPRESSED! We sat for 8 minutes before getting greeted and when we finally were greeted we were told we had 5 minutes before we had to order as the kitchen was closing. Even tho the restaurant was open for an additional hour and half. What a strange way to run things. Cocktails took 10 minutes to come to the table despite ordering bottled beer( one of which came out warm!) our food was lack luster I ordered the Wonton nachos and once they arrived I was told they were out of the TNT mix( the tuna and a main aspect of this dish) so despite not having the tuna on my nachos I was still charged 20 dollars for nachos that were just a pico on chips??!!Well I’m so sad to see how poorly this place is ran and operated now. I used to be here 5 days a week. Can’t say I have any desire to return now!Parking: What happened to their freee parking???!

We tried to go there for Sunday brunch and parking was $12. We ordered Massive Bloody Mary's, and the waiter had to warn us not to get the one with the sliders because the kitchen was having issues making that one. Received to sticky chicken Mary's with six (1/3 the size one a chicken nugget) and was told the rest was on the bar as a build your own with left out warm dried out pickles and olives in the corner. I left without ordering food spending $36 for two shitty drinks/ baby chicken nibles. Not ever going back.

Tenderloin stroganoff came without sauce, and steak came well-done when it was ordered medium, after waiting over an hour for our food. I was very disappointed to see 2 of the 5 meals my party ordered come out incorrectly.
