My friend and I stopped by for dinner after she traveled hours to get here to visit. It wasn't…read moreworth the stop. We shared some street corn and the chips were over cooked and greasy. I had a Cesar salad that had chunks of the ends of the lettuce - annoying. And whatever seasoning that was on the chicken didn't go with the vibe of the salad and was dry as a bone. My friend ordered seared scallops which came thrown on top of a cartoon like pile of fries. She didn't have time to complain because the waitress was out to ask us how it was before we had a bite (the runner brought the food). When she finally came back to ask if we needed boxes - my friend explained the issues with the inedible scallops. The waitress said the owner was there and would come talk to us. The owner didn't come out, a manager never came, and the waitress dropped the bill off and walked away. She came back with the machine to run cards - no apology, no please come back another time ... nothing. I am from Maynard and was embarrassed that this is what happened.

The food was delicious and a little bit pricey. There is a lot of space in this restaurant, so great for big parties also. The building is an older, historical one, so has a lovely vibe to it. The complimentary bread was tasty. The wings and flatbread were delicious. We got cheesecake for dessert but it was too sweet for our taste and did not taste very fresh. It was dry and I would not order it again. We ate outside, perfect for people watching too.Look forward to dining here again!

You just have to understand what this bar is, and what it isn't. On the Rocks is a true local…read morewatering hole. It is neighbors, regulars, and townies packed in by happy hour grabbing a beer after work. It is the kind of place where you run into someone you know and have a couple cold ones. This place is not trying to win awards for food, because the food is not the point. The point is community. It is a place to sit at the bar, talk with familiar faces, and unwind. Some of these reviews seem way off the mark. The bar itself is actually great; clean, well kept, and one of the nicer classic American-style bars around. But if you are passing through town looking for some eclectic bar experience, this probably is not your place. This one belongs to US locals. So out of towners stay away!

Our waitress was very friendly and accounted for our need to leave in time to get our tickets and still have a relaxing dinner. We arrived at 5:45 and were able to leave about an hour later, in part because we chose menu items that were slightly easier to prepare. We had the Mushroom Swiss Burger, the Double Smash Burger, the Volcano Burger, and Bangers and Mash. All four dishes were great, and the chef followed the doneness orders to perfection. We all chose to drink a glass of Josh Cabernet (offered at $11/glass, not available by the bottle). Given the price of the glass, and the relatively low price of Josh, I was a bit disappointed in the size of the pour, which seemed minimal. However, the wine was good. Each burger was well described on the menu: the mushrooms were crispy and generous, the onion rings on the volcano were ample and delicious, the smash burger came with cole slaw at the diner's request, and the bangers and mash were very good. This is a traditional Irish Pub, and there was a lot that we did not choose (but will in another visit). The bar is quite noisy, and we were somewhat protected by some privacy barriers. On the whole, a great experience and enjoyable.

Takeout pizza joint on one side, bar room on the other (with a bunch of high tops and many big screen TVs), and plenty of outside seating on a deck. -- Buffalo Tenders: Generous serving. Full Buffalo coverage, but a very light application and light on the Buffalo flavor. Surfaces firm; interiors slightly moist. -- Single Patty Smashburger: A thin burger, but didn't have the flavorful pushed-down crusting that characterizes the best smash burgers. Merely a thin, non-moist burger. Way too much bun volume, even if it were two patties (there are a few different two-patty options), but a tasty bun and agreeable Thousand-Island-ish sauce. -- Fries (with the burger): Nearly a full tray of the thick, industrial food service product. Bulk. Service adequate and adequately friendly. Right down the middle.
