cheesy garlic bread appetizer

amazing food! sweetest staff! was able to get it delivered and it was still freshly hot!

Aurora H.

I pulled up a pizza place with top rated reviews near me and this popped up. The only thing that I noticed is that it has two different names so I wasn't sure if I ordered from the right place when the food got delivered. It came up as ZZ pizza on Google, but also showing as hot rocks pizza so that was a little confusing. Other than that, the food was amazing! I'm not sure if there are real Italians in that kitchen or what but they are doing their thing! We enjoyed it. It was so fresh. It was a Saturday night when I placed the order for Delivery, but they ended up being at the front door in less than 20 minutes, which was a great surprise! This was our first time ordering from them. We will definitely be ordering again when we are in the area in town visiting again.

Hot Rocks Fries
Ashley S.

We ordered through UberEats...baked ziti, baked spaghetti, regular spaghetti, and hot rocks fries. The fries were decent...reminds me of Popeye's fries, for comparison. The pastas were just so poorly executed that I don't even know where to start. The sauce was super watery, lacked Italian seasoning, no meat present at all, large pieces of tomatoes that weren't cooked down enough. The pasta was at least al dente, but overall all of the pasta was unappealing and unappetizing. For the baked pastas, same thing...just noodles and watery sauce covered in melted mozzarella cheese. I checked reviews first, and someone said the baked pastas just aren't good. Unfortunately, I have to concur. I mean, some Italian seasoning would help a little, but I've never had baked ziti or spaghetti with no meat or sauce so watery. 2 stars is generous, but to be fair, the fries weren't bad, and the pasta noodles were at least Al dente, so I'll give credit where it's due. The garlic knots weren't bad either, but 3 out of the 6 were burnt. I've also had pizza here before, and it wasn't bad, but please either improve the sauce recipe or reconsider serving pasta, period.

Hot Rocks fries, garlic parm winga
Carolyn S.

A little place that's just off Memorial Highway, but they more than get the job done! Although I've never had their pizza (though I intend to eventually) I really love getting their wings and fries delivered. My go-to with them is definitely their chicken wings and their hot rocks fries. Why??? Well...because wings and fries, what else. But what brings the fries the edge is that the fries are seasoned with Old Bay and it's accompanied with an incredible white cheddar cheese sauce. Delicious!! You do get more than enough cheese sauce for the fries. The wings themselves are great, I always get bone-in, and there's always plenty of meat on it. the garlic parm goes great with the Hot Rocks Fries. Service here is pretty good. Their always nice on the phone when you need to call them for anything. They're perfect for a cozy night in.

Very tasty pizza and garlic knots for take out. The staff was very friendly and gave me a free order of bread sticks for taking a survey.

Hours of operation.

The food is great and the prices are reasonable. This location is primarily a take out location although there are a few tables outside if the weather is pleasant. The staff is friendly and attentive. Depending on the time of day there may only be one or two working so if they are busy just be patient as the food is worth it.

1/2 of a Stromboli inside a small pizza box
Elizabeth C.

Don't let the promise of 6% cash back from GetUpside fool you! You will need to upload your receipt but they don't print the last 4 digits of the card you used on the receipt so you won't get the cash back. That out of the way...their store is barely "standing room only", so takeout/delivery only. They are located up about 4 or 5 steps, so, if you have mobility issues, or just don't do stairs as gracefully as you would like, this might be an issue, especially if you are trying to go down the stairs with a pizza box in your hands. There is a wheelchair ramp, but it is at the way far side of the strip mall from here. However, they do have spots outside marked for carside delivery which is very convenient. I called in my order for a meat lover's Stromboli so I could pick it up on my way home from work. I arrived and discovered they made the wrong flavor. They quickly made the correct one for me and off I went to share the bounty with Hubster. First thing I noticed was the (overwhelming) smell of garlic. DO NOT EAT HERE IF YOU ARE A VAMPIRE!! Once I made it home, I cut it in half and prepared to package Hubster's half so he could take it to work. The crust is tender, yet chewy, which is wonderful. Lots of cheese and meats and garlic. Very filling! The full size is perfect for 2 people to share, or, they offer BOGO Stromboli and Calzones on Sundays as a weekly special. There is a 3% surcharge for using a card to pay, if that is important to anyone. So. Now the big question...would I come back? They are very conveniently located, they offer carside delivery so I don't have to navigate stairs with a pizza box, and I do like their crust. Maybe next time I will see what their pizza is like...

You see it the hot rocks Italian sub

The Food got two itialian grinders hot got two shrunk up microwaved to death things with no onion, no tomato or oil and vinegar just a hard shrunk bun with three slices of meat ...no thank you ill spend my 39.85 at another establishment if they can't even get a sub right.

You can see that it's not cooked

Their baked pastas just aren't good. It's like they put the least bit of effort into making a decent pasta, baked or not.

I love me some chicken wings. And this place has some truly excellent ones. You can get from 5 to…read more50 and get them in different flavors, guy style being my favorite. The wings are done slightly crispy on the outside and juicy ok the inside. I can't tell you much about the rest of the food as I haven't tried it...lol. But the wings are a home run. The restaurant is bar style so not everyone will like the atmosphere, but service is great and they are all enthusiastic about the wings. We will almost always come here if chicken wings are on our list to grab. I'd def reco recomend you try thme out!

I visited Bilmar Station last night with friends and my spouse after celebrating here a few months…read moreago and having such a great experience that I wanted to come back. The atmosphere delivered again. Bingo and karaoke were a lot of fun, and the wings were solid. That said, one interaction left a lasting impression. When our tacos were delivered, everyone at the table had ordered beef except for my spouse, who had one chicken taco. We asked the food runner, Brian, if he could help us identify which taco was the chicken so she didn't accidentally eat beef. Instead of assisting, he threw his hands up, mumbled under his breath, shook his head, and walked away while we were still asking a simple question. The reaction felt dismissive and unnecessary given the situation. While I stepped away from the table, I was told he later returned to apologize and shared that he had been yelled at in the back and took that frustration out on us. I appreciate the apology and understand that everyone has tough moments. I also learned he has been there a long time and may face personal challenges. Even so, guests should never feel the impact of internal stress. Respect and basic communication are part of the hospitality experience. To their credit, the bartender stepped in and comped my last round of wings, which felt like a genuine effort to make things right and was appreciated. I still had a good night overall, but the interaction left a lasting impression that I won't forget. Bilmar Station has a fun vibe and good food, and I hope this feedback helps ensure the guest experience stays consistent.

We ended up going there every night since the weather was pretty poor, even though we are all from Boston. The bar was large, with a good-sized area for tables as well. They had pool tables and darts for entertainment. They also had a large number of large screen TVs all playing sports. It was a fun atmosphere, and the locals were quite friendly. We met several New England natives who now live in Tampa. Lucy was our server for all three nights. She was FANTASTIC. She was always present to get us more drinks and had a great attitude. She really made us feel like locals. The bar manager was also originally from New England and a Bruins fan. The drinks were strong, and the beer was cold, which was great. They had the best chicken wings I have ever had. The spice rub was great, and the wings and drumsticks were meaty and tender. Best of all, the prices were amazing We had a FANTASTIC time here and will visit again on our next trip.

We tried this place about a year ago, and we had a completely different experience than before. I can honestly say, I won't be back. Not ever. Not even a chance. This place is filthy. The floors, the tables, the bathrooms (the worst I have ever seen), and even the napkin holders. I had immediate regrets upon stepping in based on the lack of cleanliness. The amount of flies swarming was alarming. The service was a zero. The girl working watched us order at the kiosk, the kiosk wouldn't let us pay, we tell her, and she says "oh it doesn't work." So we ordered with her even though she sat around watching us waste our time. I ordered a wing meal, told her I wanted the wings injected, and she said "we don't inject them. I will give you sauce on the side." The menu clearly says they inject wings, social media videos always show it, and also, my last visit there was also injected wings but she would give me no explanation other than "I will give you the sauce on the side." It was bizarre and I couldn't even get a "we don't do that anymore" from her. We ordered a chicken sando. The quality was horrible. Chicken tasted overly processed with bad texture. We also ordered a wing combo. The wings were flavorless. Absolutely flavorless. I ordered medium and there was zero spice. Not even a tad. Apparently they don't inject their wings anymore so there was no flavor in the wings. The quality was pretty bad. Also, the "sauce on the side" that the girl working promised me was not the sauce I ordered, it was the sauce she chose. The whole ordering experience was odd. Definitely seemed like someone who did not care about providing good service, good food, or a sanitary environment. We waited about 25 minutes for our food. About 3 people came in to get pickup orders while we waited and no one else. So we sat and waited while the flys swarmed our heads. The cashier never once tried to come out and clean the filthy tables. She even paused doing nothing for a restroom break, used the filthy restroom, came out with WET hands, and grabbed a napkin from the dusty napkin holder on the filthy table to dry her hands. Then still never wiped down the table caked with food debris. Absolute terrible level of cleanliness, care, and service. It ruined my appetite. After waiting that long, the Mac n cheese was ice cold. 25 minutes for Mac n cheese with a chill to it and no heat. I'm convinced they pulled it out of the refrigerator and forgot to heat it up. This place just had too many misses: a lack of quality, a lack of good service, and a lack of any sanitation standards. Never again. We didn't finish our food. We threw it away outside.
