    Buffalo Shrimp nachos
    Heather D.

    Not sure what is happening with this place. They did away with Sunday brunch and can't sit inside so we sat outside drenched in sweat. They keep getting rid of their best menu item. Not more shrimp nachos? Daughter git shrimp tacos said they were nasty. My sandwich was alright. Overpriced apps. Not sure what is happening here.

    Caribbean Bowl with Mahi
    Amy B.

    This has been one of our favorite places for a long time and while still good, the quality seems to have gone down a bit. Great atmosphere, live music, good service. Lots of options on the menu. However our more recent visit the fish was overcooked and the food not as tasty as usual. Portion sizes were also smaller. Was still enjoyable for the atmosphere but not as good as we used to love!

    Beautiful views and quality eating! Stopped in on a Monday around 6pm, seated at bar with immediate beer service. A few locals chatting it up with the bar tender and a dozen or so other people eating and/or taking photos on the dock as the sun set which was a nice vibe. The dock dip was good while the dock tacos were amazing! The lime tartar sauce over the huge pieces of mahi hit hard. Was a great stop after a long day traveling!

    Caribbean Salad
    Samantha H.

    The outdoor patio area at River Rocks has one of the best waterfront views in Brevard. There is a ton of seating available, but come early if you want a sunset view. The menu is pretty expansive with lots of salad, sandwich, and seafood options. I tried the Caribbean bowl with mahi and it was delicious! The mango salsa and coconut rice added a pop of flavor that balanced the other toppings. My partner tried the Caribbean salad with chicken which he loved, but there was a mix up in the kitchen and the chicken came out separately several minutes after. Other than that, our service was good and vibe was great.

    Crab dip

    While visiting friends in the area, they recommended we check this place out--and I'm glad we did! We sat outside and ordered from The Dock Menu, which offers a casual vibe with covered seating and a nice view of the dock. The weather was perfect, and the relaxed atmosphere made for a great dining experience. Casual attire is totally fine for the outdoor area, but the indoor section has a more upscale dress code--something I'd love to try next time. The service was excellent, and our food and drinks didn't disappoint. We started with the crab dip. It was okay. I had the shrimp dinner with fries and vegetables. The shrimp and fries were perfectly fried and really tasty, but the vegetables could've used a bit more seasoning. My husband went with the chicken tacos and really enjoyed them. Overall, a great spot for a laid-back meal with a view! My photos will not post, so sorry.

    View from the covered patio. Only seating available before 5pm. Great view

    Service was good. Meal was average. The food could have been hotter when brought to the table. I especially enjoyed the black beans with coconut rice for a different side choice. Fries were not hot. Hubby said fish tacos were ok. They add a 3% surcharge for kitchen prep which seems out of the norm for the area and then defaults to 20% tio on top of that. Paying for the view.

    First time going here as we always just connect door to Grills. We were actually very pleased with the experience. The atmosphere was great and the service was awesome. The drinks were delicious as was the food. I recommend the Pina colada and coconut shrimp. Both hit the spot and had good quality ingredients. I would also like to add that we also enjoyed that the drinks were served In glasses rather than plastic cups. A much better touch for a water front bar and grill. Worth the try if you've never been!

    Nice view and a great a patio atmosphere. The buffalo shrimp nachos are amazing, good beer selection , friendly staff . Nice variety menu , more Caribbean but regular food items too . Full bar, plenty covered & uncovered patio on the river There is also inside seating available as well.

    Brie
    Rachel W.

    This was my first time dining in the fancier area of River Rocks (inside) and I think I prefer the outside, more casual dining more! There are less food options in the restaurant versus the patio. I got the baked brie and an espresso martini. My friends got scallops and the tuna which looked amazing! Our waitress was great but there was another waitress that kept walking around with beers and spilling the beers on the floor. I would recommend for a fancy dinner night but if you're looking for something more casual I would recommend the dockside seating.

    Awesome mojito's, coconut shrimps some of the best I've ever had, conch fritters with all the meet. Salads are great too!

    Great Intercostal dining! To start the views are amazing... right on the water coastal vibe. Everyone on staff very nice and attentive. Food was on point! Great menu with something for everyone but definitely seafood focused. Highly recommend!

I have been here so many times and never had a bad experience here. I have brought family visiting from out of town here and they always say this is one of the best places we go! Everyone has been so friendly and welcoming each time! The food is so flavorful and good! I absolutely love to get the catch of the day with the coconut rice and black beans. You get a very good portion of food for the price!

My bill comes out and I was charged an extra $7.99 for the sweet potato fries. I said there was some confusion because I thought it was instead of chips. The manager came over and was quite horrible. I told her what happened and she said that didn't happen. I said hey no worries, I would just tell the server to advise the diner that it would be an additional charge. She cut me off and said she did "my servers are well trained." Quite possibly the worst experience I've had with a manager over a $7.99 mix up. Please be better next time. Icing on the cake, when the server dropped off the bill she placed it on the table and walked away. Not, I'm sorry, or have a nice day. Just placed and left. Such a shame because it was a decent experience until that fiasco which really wasn't that big of a deal
