Enjoyed
Used to be a good place, food quality has gone down a lot, it’s awful, and very low quality. Was very unpleased. Our breaded chicken on our CEASER SALAD was a frozen chicken tender, you could tell it was blended chicken, and it wasn’t even crispy. The dressing tasted like a jar of anchovies. Extremely disappointing won’t be returning again.
My husband liked his blue cheese burger. I had the fish and chips. It was ok. The fish was definitely overcooked, dry. The seet potato fries were good..
We've been coming to R&R whenever we're in town for a few years now...it is a local staple, dependable, good value and many options.
On this visit, the poke appetizer was so good we ordered a second plate. I've mostly opted for sandwiches and burgers in the past...so this time I chose the steak medium rare and was not disappointed - cooked perfect and great sides.
The reason we keep coming back is the great service and friendly staff...this time was the best, Erica made us feel as if we were the only folks in the restaurant - she was all hustle, perfectly accurate in the detail of the order and took the time to genuinely get to know us. You don't see that kind of personal professionalism often - we left with a new friend who we'll look for next time we're in town! Thank you!!
My wife and I are not young anymore.We often share meals when we go out or buy smaller portions. For lunch today I chose their steak bites / Asian dipping sauce with coleslaw. It was fantastic! My wife had the fish and chips (fries) and thought it was great eat! It's on our list for future trips ✨️
We placed a take out order with a specific request (no onions). Of course it came with onions so my husband took it back. They remade it. By the time he walked back to my location (all of 5 minutes or less). The taco shells were so. Soggy I couldn’t pick them up without the contents falling all in my tray and all over me. No fork. No napkins. I will not go back.
Great French dip and our server Paige was so wonderful! She is a keeper!
The food was delicious and Paige took great care of us.

A yummy but understaffed tavern. Food was pretty good given what was expected. Definitely gave the bar or tavern style. The service was as good as could be expected seeing there were one 3 servers.

We were out of town and decided to give this place a try.
We had the cod fish plate and it was amazing. The jalapeño tarter sauce was so so good
Our waitress was little slow at bringing things and we asked for some shredded cheese, she never brought. She didn't even mention why she didn't or anything.

Loved the atmosphere. Our waitress was so nice. Ordered the French dip. Took one bite and sent it back. It was cold and had a horrible flavor. We were the only ones in the resteraunt when we ordered but the food still came out cold including the fries.

Bloody Mary was soo good but food not so. I ordered the Mahi tacos and tasted a bit more fishy than it should have. A bit salty too. The side dish of zucchini a squash was NOT edible. Completely a waste of money. It was so gross. Over cooked and under seasoned. Not hard to cook these veggies right. My friend got a burger well done and it was dry but you to be fair we ordered the toppings on the side so toppings on would probably be better. Fries were ok...I would not recommend eating here but go there for a cocktail! Bartenders are very nice!!@
Live here, visiting with family for the first and last time.
Table of 5 got 3 menus, took almost an hour to receive our order, and only half arrived, appetizer never did, drinks were never refilled. One of the missing meals was a hot dog for a 4 year old... which, as a previous server, I would have known to bring first to help relieve the stress of a hungry child waiting while others eat.
The food was good not great.
Very disappointed with the service! 😓
