    Yum!   Cheese burger with garlic pepper cheese.  And plenty of fries!
    Ruth C.

    We stopped here on a Sunday after hiking around Red River Gorge. My husband was disappointed that they don't sell beer on Sundays :( But that's ok... the food made up for it! We both had burgers... delicious! Try the Garlic pepper cheese if you can! I got the plate with fries, my husband just got a burger. The plate with fries was HUGE! We shared and still had left overs. There are tables and picnic tables out front, and a partially enclosed deck area around the side. We would highly recommend!

    This was a delightful little restaurant we found during our recent trip to Red River Gorge. Rockhouse is an American cafe with many burger options as well as tacos, and sandwiches. I went with the Bacon Cheese Burger and fries. You could top it with a variety of toppings. I went with cheddar cheese, bacon, and mayo. The burger itself was excellent as it was juicy and flavourful as was the bacon. The fries were quite good as well. It was very reminiscent of a 5 Guys burger and fries which is definitely a good thing. The service was excellent and the restaurant was understated yet very clean and of course in a beautiful location. All in all this was a great lunch after a long, fun day of hiking. High recommendation for Rockhouse.

    Wow this place is amazing. Came here and ordered the cheeseburger combo with fries: half regular and half sweet potatoes. The fries were amazing, fresh, and cooked to perfection. The burger was tasty and delicious. It came with tomatoes, pickles, american cheese, and onions. I was completely satisfied with the food. I had an Ale8 for drink. I also had salsa and chips, it was delicious The only con that i see is that there is limited indoors seating and it could get hectic and take some time to get a place to sit with your party to enjoy the food. Otherwise, everything was spectacular and amazing, especially in the middle of nowhere KY : )

    Barbacoa Tacos with ale 8 zero

    We had the braised pork burrito and the barbarcoa tacos. Food was quick and delicious. Service was great.

    That cheese!

    Red River Rockhouse really impressed us. It's just a burger place, but they were highly efficient and friendly. When we walked in, we saw the menu choices on a chalkboard so by the time we got to the counter, we were ready to order. The cashier taking our order was very friendly but kept the line moving. A very short time later, our cheeseburgers were delivered to our table. The beef patty and bun were good but the cheese was the star of the show! It was loaded up on the burger, then spilled over the side so the edges got crispy on the cooktop...delicious! We don't live in the area, but I would definitely suggest people check it out when you're in the area!

    After a fun day doing some cavern kayaking, we were hungry for some lunch. We had heard this place was pretty solid, and pretty solid it was! We got in just in time, it started pouring rain soon after. There's an area with the menu on a huge board where you go place your order, and then to the left an area where you go take a seat. We got lucky and were able to get a table. The space is kind of tight, but efficient, and the ambiance is pretty standard is the best way I can describe it. We started with some chips and salsa, and they were pretty good. For my entree I got the garlic pepper cheddar cheeseburger. It was good, but I think the title and description makes it sound a little better and punchier than what it was. The fries I got with it were also pretty tasty. My husband's little cousins got some tacos that they very much enjoyed. Overall this is a very solid food option at The Gorge, I would definitely come back next time I'm in the area.

    Burrito that's more than twice as big as my fist. Sweet potato fries great too

    Absolutely phenomenal experience. Food, service, ambiance, drink. Cool vibe too. Love it!!!

    Garlic pepper cheese burger. Just look at the cheesy lace hanging off the side of the burger!

    Overall an amazing place to sit down and eat dinner at. The windows are tinted but the place stays…read moreopened until 10 on everyday except for sunday and they close down at 9 that night. When it comes to the food you definitely are getting what you're paying for because the portions are great! Normally always fast service and food always served hot fresh and quickly so you aren't waiting while hungry! Plenty of alcohol choices! They have a bar. Super cheap margaritas. Lime frozen or on the rocks 1.99 happy hour and flavored frozen or on the rocks 2.99 if i'm not mistaken but super cheap regardless! They also have variety of bottled beer and on draft they offer Michelob ultra, Corona Modelo, and Bud light. They can do pina coladas, liquid marijuanas, sex on the beach, dragon mojito, ect.

    Somewhat late at night, driving through an unfamiliar area and getting hungry, we decided to check…read morethis out since it sounded somewhat promising. To be honest, it looked closed - all the windows are tinted, so we couldn't see inside, and the parking lot was empty. Maybe we pulled up later than they typically expect to have diners, b/c when we walked in (very nice inside, btw, great decoration and all), I noticed there had been a party in the next room that hadn't been cleaned up yet. They have a bar, but I was driving, and my friends w/ me don't drink, so we didn't do that - notable, though, b/c most Mexican restaurants I've been to don't serve alcohol. Food is really great value, and great portions. We each got pretty huge platters for very reasonable prices, and the quality was great. Service was on point as well; admittedly the guy seemed a bit surprised to see us, but once he got us set up, everything went smoothly - chips and salsa to start, great w/ refilling water, food came out pretty quickly (perhaps not challenging when we were the only people there!). Other than the one table not being picked up when we walked in, the entire place was clean, including the bathroom, and I would go back if in the area again!
