Horseradish Dijon Boneless Wings
Ben S.

This was one of my favorite places as a UConn student, and on the rare occasions I'm back in the area I like stopping back in. Menu is way expanded from when I was in school, but I come simply for the wings. We all ordered a different flavor and split them along with fries and onion rings which were all huge portions. Will definitely come back next time on campus.

Mediterranean Salad
Jan B.

I took my daughter and her boyfriend out to lunch for a celebration. My daughter had just turned 21 and we wanted to have a drink. We ended up at Red Rock Café. We ordered from their lunch menu and had a Mediterranean chicken salad. I liked the amount of spice that was on the chicken. It was very good. My daughter had the cheeseburger sliders and she enjoyed them with french fries and actually had leftovers to bring home. Her boyfriend had quesadilla. He also enjoyed his lunch. At the end of our lunch we decided to have a celebratory shot and ordered shots of Bailey's. We enjoyed our lunch very much.

We are in town visiting my son at UCONN and we decided to give Red Rock Cafe a go. I must say the place was pretty busy. The staff is extremely is extremely pleasant, everyone we came in contact with. However as soon as you walk in, I did not get the greatest impression of the restaurant itself, excluding staff, restaraunt itself didn't give off clean vibes. But the boys wanted to try it so we continued on. The menu is very big and so much to choose from that you get a bit overwhelmed. I opted to have the chicken wings, they had 64+ flavors to choose from. I had the mango pineapple. It was good. The wings were juicy, tender, and you could taste the mango pineapple a little bit, and I'm content that they were not drowned in the sauce. My husband had a bacon burger without lettuce,tomato,onion and came out perfectly. The waffle fries are a bit greasy but no worries none were left at the end of the meal. My son had the same bacon burger but with all the finishes and he enjoyed his as well. The sodas though ... I had a ginger ale- disgusting! My husband and son both ordered cokes and each one tasted differently so we sent one back and now it tasted ok - the weirdest thing ever since it's out of the same machine / not sure if it's from dirty cups or what ! We opted to skip dessert.

Ultimate Red Rock Burger
Sana G.

I visited Red Rock Cafe on a Saturday evening and it was pretty empty because there was a basketball game going on. Despite this, we were seated next to the kitchen and counter where servers picked up the meals to be served. Our service was pretty quick, but the food was only okay. My pasta had too much salt, and the Buffalo chicken soup was absolutely disgusting and tasted like ketchup. The worst part of my dining experience was the atmosphere of my surroundings; the floor was dirty, and staff was sitting at tables right next to us sorting cutlery and talking loudly about their personal drama. I felt awkward having conversations with my dining partner and commenting on the food with the servers right next to me. When our food arrived at the counter, another server went to go pick up the food and our server yelled over to her, "she got the pasta and he got the burger", which felt highly unprofessional.

Western burger
Mark W.

Nice place just off campus at UConn. It seems to be a local favorite place to go as it has been busy every time we come here. 20 min wait but it was move- in day after the holiday break. Once we were in and ordered our food, the meals came out quickly. 10 minute ticket time is really good especially with the place so busy. I had the special, western burger. Fried egg, onion, peppers and ham. Only complaint would be to have them fry the ham a bit before putting it on the burger. It was a really good bite. Also should have asked for mustard or mayo for a little more moisture and depth. We will come back again, hopefully without the wait, but it was good.

Cheeseburger pizza

Order takeout on a Monday night, have had pizza here before and wasn't too impressed but decided to give them another shot and let's just say we will be done with red rock. We ordered the cheeseburger pizza and when we got home and opened the box we're extremely disappointed. The entire pizza was absolutely covered in lettuce. Pizza was extremely soggy and just overall gross. Attempted to give it a taste and literally all the toppings just slid off. Only positive I can give is that they gave me a refund of my money.

Tonight was my first time going here. We were seated quickly and the service was fast and on point! Portion sizes here are quite large! Which for a man like me that's always a plus! I got the Rhode Island calamari for my appetizer and for my main entree I got the fish and chip. Food came out really fast and taste amazing! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area.

The decor is, well, a sports pub. Lots of TVs. And during a UConn game, they're all on the game…read more And it turns out the kitchen can churn out great little pub fare. We stopped by recently in the middle of a game and got food quickly. The dry rub wings were recommended for good reason. Excellent. And the buffalo chicken egg rolls are not to be missed as well. Service was friendly and efficient. And prices are in line for the food

I've had Huskies Tavern (on the other side of campus with the patio) many times before, but this…read morewas my first time visiting the new restaurant & bar location in downtown Storrs. THE FOOD My friend and I decided to go here for the $10 beer & burger lunch special advertised every Tuesday-Saturday. I frequently walk past the sign advertising their deal and when my friend said we should grab lunch I immediately suggested this spot for that reason. It was a Wednesday afternoon at 12:30, but unfortunately we were told we could not have the special since they don't do it on game days. The game wasn't until 7pm but it must be an all day game day thing. Disappointing but we moved on. Grilled chicken sandwich -nicely toasted bun, flavorful seasoned chicken, good aioli. If I came back I would eat it again. -fries were pretty good too. -after paying and looking at the receipt I realized I was charged more for the sandwich than what was printed on the menu (didn't say anything to them) Sweet & sour cauliflower -my friend enjoyed it. Said the sauce was good. They were small baby cauliflowers but a decent sized appetizer for one. Not much for a large table to share but fine for ~2 people. She wanted something small for lunch so it worked out well. THE DRINKS -after not being able to do the deal with the beer my friend went with the angry orchard on tap -I got a screwdriver. It was fine, a basic well drink. Didn't taste the vodka really so not sure how much their standard pour is. THE SERVICE -service was polite, attentive -we were the only ones in there for most of our time, so I'd be curious how service is when they get a bit busier. THE ATMOSPHERE -typical bar/restaurant vibe -nice bar, it seems like a cool place to hang out and watch the game Overall it was a nice lunch catching up with my friend and I'm glad I was able to check out the new location. The food and drinks were good--what you'd expect for a typical bar & restaurant and it's a nice, friendly, clean environment. If someone wanted to go back here I would join but it wouldn't be first on my list to recommend in Storrs Center. I ended up spending about $30 on a lunch I was expecting to spent around $13 on, so I'd say check the game day schedule so you aren't disappointed like us. Overall I'd probably rate this closer to 3.5 stars so I rounded up to 4.

Food: 8/10- great flavor, made fresh. The garlic mash was basic and did not have a creamy texture…read moreand lacked the garlic taste. The rest of the food was everything I expected. The wings and the mousse (beyond expectations)!! MUAH- chef's kiss! The mussels were good but need a bit of something. Service: I had my food for pick-up. I did not eat-in so I can't offer a true review. HOWEVER. The host/greeters were polite. They greeted me upon eye contact and kept warm smiles on their face the entire time. When my food bag was handed to me. I was met with a fare well greeting and a thank you. 10/10 for my service experience, although brief. Ambiance: Vibrant. When you walk in you hear pleasant chattering and the sound of honest conversation and genuine joy. Price: 8.5/10. Fair prices.

Willibrew has been a staple for more than 25 years, and that history is honestly the only thing…read morekeeping this from being a much lower rating. There's a lot of nostalgia tied to this place, but the experience today feels like a shadow of what it used to be. The quality has dropped drastically. Service was, frankly, atrocious--slow, disengaged, and bordering on indifferent. The beer selection is still decent, but it doesn't matter much when every pour arrives tasting off. Whether it's bad kegs or hot glasses, the result is the same: lukewarm, skunky beer that's hard to enjoy. Food was another disappointment. Every item came out cold, and the flavors were on par with grade‑D fast food--bland, lifeless, and nowhere near the standard this place once had. Giving three stars feels generous, but it's a nod to the legacy Willibrew built over the decades. I truly hope they find their footing again, because right now, the nostalgia is doing all the heavy lifting. Ummmmm cheers I guess
