There is plenty of parking and it is easy to find. It is seat yourself once you arrive. We were greeted immediately and offered drinks. We got Dr. Peppers and ordered the BLT and beef melt sandwiches with French fries. When things are done in a simple manner, there leaves room for critique, but it was so well done. My beef melt was simple and tasty, and the bread was perfectly crispy on the edges. It was the right amount of texture and meat without leaving you overstuffed. My mom enjoyed her BLT and mentioned that the bacon was cooked perfectly. We definitely want to come back for the simple comfort food that is here. Our waitress was super friendly and let us know what the specials were for the day as well as gave us time and checked in on us. I definitely recommend stopping by if you are in the mood for a no fuss, simplistic dining experience.

It was easy to order online and food was ready for pick up when we arrived. Luckily we remembered to ask for utensils and napkins before we left the restaurant. Pot pies were individual sized portions. They were warm with a hot filling. Hubby got the beef and I got the dark meat chicken. I think I would get white meat next time. There were good amounts of meat and veggies in each of our pies but we both agreed the filling could use more seasoning. The huge side of mashed potatoes and gravy were my favorite - warm, creamy, and yummy!

The vampiros are a delicious appetizer to share. The peanut butter French toast is so good!!! It's super heavy though but definitely one of the better sweet options on the menu. It wasn't too busy for a Sunday mid afternoon. One thing I noticed is that we were able to join the waitlist virtually which was nice! We haven't been able to that before when we've come many times so that was cool. Cant wait to come back!

The restaurant was kind of empty during our visit today; however, it is a small place -- and it was kind of nice. Every other time I have passed it (usually in the evening) it is packed. So, it was nice to be quiet today. Our service was friendly. I had the spicy chicken sandwich, which is a huge sandwich and it was delicious. It was not really spicy; however, I know -- for the masses. It was still absolutely delicious though. I did upgrade my salad to the side Cesar salad and it also was delicious. Overall, it was a nice win for lunch today. I even was able to wrap up half of my sandwich to bring home later. Dessert -- not this time -- but I'll be back!

We've been here a few times and really wanted to like this place. The food and drinks feel more…read moreelevated than most spots nearby, and as locals in Monrovia, we were hoping it could become a regular for us. This last visit was frustrating enough that we won't be rushing back. We came in just before 6:00 PM with a babysitter and a limited window. The restaurant wasn't busy, maybe five tables, but service was completely off. Our entrée took about 45 minutes. It was comped, but no one acknowledged the delay. No apology, no explanation, nothing. We also got the wrong side (fries instead of onion rings), and while it was corrected quickly, it added to the overall feeling that no one was really paying attention. The bigger issue was how absent the service felt. Our server never came back for a second round of drinks, and I had to go to the bar myself. When I mentioned it, the response was basically that the server was busy with another table, which felt dismissive given how long we had already been waiting. No one was busy. By the time food arrived, it was around 6:45 PM. The problem wasn't just the wait, it was the lack of communication or basic hospitality the entire time. I actually emailed the restaurant directly after our visit and never heard back, which is disappointing and honestly says a lot. At this point, it's hard not to feel like they just don't really care about the customer experience or about keeping people coming back. It's a shame, because the place has potential, but right now it doesn't feel like it's being taken seriously.

This place reminds me of an old school fish and chips restaurant!…read more We decided to come here after passing by hundreds of times on our way home from somewhere. We came here around 5:30PM and the traffic to get to Shrimp House was pretty bad. Found out that you can enter from Myrtle and from Live Oak. We were on Myrtle and went onto Live Oak thinking that was the only entrance.. that was a mistake due to the backed up traffic during the time. When we got there, we were seated at a table. It was pretty crowded, full of older people. The guests were friendly and seemed to be regulars of the place. When the waitress came to us, she took our order. We ordered: Popcorn Shrimp - Loved this sooo much! Reminds me of Sizzler. Popcorn shrimp was hot, fresh, and had a crispy batter! The actual popcorn bedding added to the theme :) 9/10 Ceviche - We got the Mexican style and it was good. Not as good at Kickin Shrimp, but it was a good appetizer to start with. 7/10 Clam Chowder - This clam chowder reminds me of Sizzler's clam chowder. It was creamy and thick, and had a few bits of clams. 7/10 Grilled Seafood Sampler - The fish was nice and flaky. Very flavorful with the seasoning that they used. The shrimp was nicely grilled. We were not a fan of the bell pepper that was on the skewer that bled into the shrimp itself. The flavor was a bit intrusive considering shrimp already has a light flavor. Finally the scallops were a pass. Just grilled, nothing amazing. 7/10 overall Shrimp Scampi Linguine - Not sure what the hype was about, but this was the most forgetful dish I had here. The linguini was a bit soft/overcooked, the fettuccini sauce was thick and not too cheesy, but more creamy, if that makes sense, and the shrimp was just shrimp (possibly the grilled shrimp) and was just drowned in the fettuccini sauce and lost any natural flavors it would've had. 3/10 Chocolate Lava Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream: Out of the disappointing Shrimp Scampi Linguini, the Lava cake made up for it. We do not usually get dessert, but we were sure glad we got this. Similar to the pazooki from BJ's, but a hot choco cake instead. I can do without the whipped cream though, since I don't like it too much. 8/10 Overall, this place is a small, quaint place for seafood. The appeal is the hometown feel, friendly service, all while providing good, affordable seafood.

She could not even finish it, and I had to help after already finishing my own meal, which says a lot because I can eat a lot myself lol. The pasta was creamy, flavorful, and loaded with shrimp. For the appetizer, we had the K Town wings. The wings themselves were super crispy on the outside while still tender and juicy inside. The sauces were unique and interesting. A little sweeter than I personally prefer, but the spice balanced it out nicely and kept me going back for more. I ordered the Black Angus Bassin Burger, and that was my favorite part. It came on a soft brioche bun with caramelized onions, arugula, special sauce, and I added bacon. The burger patty itself tasted high quality, juicy, and flavorful. Everything worked together really well. The onion rings were beer battered and seriously delicious. Golden, crunchy, crispy, and packed with flavor. The fries were also fresh and really good.

Seating unfortunately is limited to like eight tables or so, but the menu more than makes up for it. Red Rock specializes in Japanese Don dishes. So if that's your jam, come at them bro! Prices are steep, but worth it in my opinion. They use quality meats that's direct-fired on a grill. Everything is made-to-order and it comes out quick! Ordered the following: - Omi-Rice/Hamburg Steak - 8.5/10: Hella good. Thick, tasty patty on top of skillfully crafted and silky scrambled eggs that blankets a large serving of rice...and all of it smothered with their original sauce. Sauce isn't too overpowering, so the dish is well-balanced. You will be full after this meal. This would be my go-to if I came back, but there's so many other stuff on the menu! Will definitely be coming back as a good time was had by all!

A Friday evening with friends & some fun cocktails at the local BJ's…read more We ordered a flight of margaritas & rubber ducky tub with a pizza. It appears that Friday is one of their busier nights. Come prepared to wait approx 1 hr. Once we were sat the service was fast, we told our waitress her to come back for the food order but she seemed overwhelmed. She took her time to come back to get our order. At the end of our meal she let us know she was clocking out but we were unaware she wanted us to pay right away, she mentioned someone else was going to tend to us. I feel we had a miscommunication because she came back looking for the bill & we kept on chatting thinking another server was coming. Anyhow, I get it's a high pace environment & she might have been overwhelmed but she didn't directly tell us she needed us to pay. I like the food at this spot & variety of choices either way I'll come back but just not sure if it will be on a Friday night.

I really appreciated that and was excited to eat my meal. Unfortunately, the experience was overshadowed by how I was treated by one of the staff members. I had ordered online ahead of time since I only have a short lunch break and planned to dine in. There were plenty of open tables, but I was told I couldn't sit because online orders weren't considered "dine-in" and that seating was reserved so staff could make tips. That explanation didn't make sense and honestly made me feel unwelcomed as a paying customer. I was really looking forward to my meal, and the interaction completely killed the vibe. If you plan on eating here, I would recommend ordering in person to avoid any confusion. I'd also suggest the café clarify this policy, because the inconsistency took away from what would have otherwise been a great experience.
