Food took an hour to get to our table, staff was alright but when the food got to our table they forgot a side on mine and forgot the tortillas on my mother's plate on Mother's Day. the lighting was very dark at 10am to the point where people couldn't read their menus. overall it was a bad experience but the staff was very apologetic and nice about it. read more

We recently tried to celebrate a birthday at Rokerij and received the worst service by the management staff. I have visited a few times on occasion and while the F&B is OK (not great), we like the atmosphere of Rokerij, Richardson's & Rosies. As a local Phoenix staple, I expected to have great service so we booked the private dining room at Rokerij. As our event approached, I attempted to contact the booking manager through email, phone & even in person. Unfortunately she proclaimed to be too busy to speak with me, even when I showed up in-person the day before our event. I had not heard back on confirming our event, guest count, and wanted to order a special drink & dessert to surprise my in-laws. After a dozen attempts to get a hold of them, it was apparent our business was not a priority to them. We cancelled and will not be returning. Unfortunate since we live in the neighborhood! read more

Manager Phil Kelly's crew gave the worst service I have ever received in Phoenix. The food for all six of us was acceptable but there was 19 minutes between the first plate and the last plate. Two plates came out about every 6 or 7 minutes. Please note this was after Richardson gave our reservation up because of "over lap" and assigned us to Rokerij. The environment was loud, cold and very unsettled. Mr Browne should be embarrassed of the product he is putting out. May 4, 2025, William White read more

Store bought chips with grey flavorless guacamole that makes chipotle seem upscale. Forgettable queso. I ordered sea bass that seemed like defrosted Costco fish and was way overcooked, accompanied by some weird mash on top of an undercooked hatch chili and with overcooked charred cauliflower. Can't speak to to others in my group but nobody seemed to eat it all so not a good sign. Ambience (upstairs not cellar) is dated and dingy but fine. Wouldn't take a date but it was ok for a client lunch. Service was serviceable. I'd call it perfunctory. Very basic X's and O's with no personality or charisma, certainly no passion behind the food suggestions which now having eaten it seemed honest. That said, big party with a big tab and we had the potential to tip better than 20% but no motivation to do so (and no real reason not to tip 20%). read more

Staff are like family, so a great place to go. Food - very tasty and you have to be very hungry to be able to finish your serving. Air flow inside is very good such that even IF someone has Covid, your chance of acquisition is quite low. My go to place. read more

Rokerij - Well I am going light tonight - Seafood Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

We had dinner here a few weeks ago and it was just OK. There is something that is missing here in terms of the flavor and execution. We ordered our steaks medium rare, and they were quite overcooked, but still flavorful. I will say that the appetizers were better than the main dishes. We will give us another shot another time. read more

I have been at all 3 of these establishments several times. The fried onion rings are a10. With 3 dipping sauces, the Pasta Heidi is the bomb, Very good enchiladas and rellanos are very good, make sure they put. Flower tortilla underneath. The garlic appetizer is finger licking. Now great margaritas and a solid wine list, if u go next-door to the Rokerij , o bit Sexier try the duck with Chili glaze or the a-prime Rib There is no better place in town read more

Date night last night and my first time here....AMAZING drinks, food and service!!! It's such an intimate setting and good vibe. The food was delicious and prepared perfectly. We'll definitely be back......Carne Adovada read more

I have heard great things about Richardson's/Rokerij so I was excited to finally visit. Valet is the only way to go here. We actually started our night with reservations at Richardson's, which is right next door. Literally, you can walk between the two restaurants via the patio seating. After an incident with our original table on the patio and a bird, we ended up seated inside at Rokerij. Considering it was our Christmas Eve dinner, we were hoping the night would be recovered. Luckily, it was! Kudos to the staff for getting us a new table on a crowded holiday evening and taking care of a few things. Things got off to a great start with our server who was amazing. She was on top of it and let us know about all of their specials. We started out with the bacon wrapped shrimp appetizer as we pursued the rest of the menu. The shrimp were fantastic, great flavor with a few different sauces on the plate. We then proceeded to order our entrees. I went with the lamb special, which came with a house salad with jalapeño ranch, and choice of two sides. I went with the mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. The lamb also came with a jalapeño jelly and another fruit-like jelly which sadly I forget the name of. The lamb was delicious, the jelly's added great flavor, the brussel sprouts were grilled and tasty, and the mashed potatoes were good as well. I was a big fan of my meal. I also was impressed with the size and quality of the house salad, no skimpy lame salads here! It was tasty. I ended up with a TON of food. Others at the table ordered the fish trio special (salmon, swordfish, sea bass) which came with three house sauces, the green Chile potato and asparagus, the top sirloin with carrots and mashed potatoes, and the skewers (chicken, beef tenderloin, shrimp and sausage) which came with rice and beans. The top sirloin was just okay, but the other two dishes were definite hits from the mains to the sides. For dessert, the four of us split the flourless chocolate cake with raspberry topping. It was the perfect sweet to treat to end on. Overall, we had a nice evening with even better food. Our server was a rockstar and we had no complaints once she restarted our night and meal. I would definitely come back to check out the Richardson's side and also return to Rokerij. read more

For date night my hubby heard about this place and we decided to give it a try. Atmosphere: Was amazing. The hostess walked us through the kitchen and then downstairs to our seat. We had a cozy booth right by the bar. Customer Service: Our server was very attentive. He made sure we knew what the specials were and never left our lemonade refills empty. He checked on us regularly and grabbed whatever it was we needed. Food: The house salad was my favorite part! It was filled with peppitas, red bell pepper, cheese, spring onions, spring mix and ranch. With an added shake of salt and pepper, it was so good! Both main dishes lacked seasoning and needed a helping hand of salt and pepper. Both filets were cooked perfectly. My filet's king lobster meat was succulent. The only feedback I'd give is, to remove the cartilage. Not to fun to pull that out of your mouth mid bite. The potato had absolutely no flavor, so I added ranch to it. My husbands red chili enchiladas was very red chili powder forward. Wasn't his favorite. The bacon wrapped shrimp was super yummy and he enjoyed the green chili enchilada. All in all, we tried something different around the valley. Although we wouldn't go back, we would recommend for others to give it a try! read more

You have to make a reservation! This place gets packed on the weekends. It is well worth it though. There was 7 of us, we were seated at a booth inside near the bar. Everything on the menu sounds so good and is delicious. I had the Richardson's combo with Benedict and chicken enchilada. I did not want to stop eating!! The asparagus was cooked perfectly, the sauce on the enchilada was tangy and good. The Benedict fabulous. My guy got the meatloaf, thick slice with beans. He loved it. I cannot say enough about this place. We will be coming here for brunch often! read more

I have been wanting to come for ages so I tried it for my birthday. Decided to come the day before instead for happy hour since they do not take reservation for a party under 4. This place definitely gets the coolest best entrance award. I was a bit confused on the right door left door thing though but thanks to these reviews for clarifying that. Take the right door for basement go left door to just walk right in and for bathroom. I thought the left door was for Richardsons and the right door was Rokerij but they are the same place despite the signs by the bathrooms saying it is Richardsons. Good news for handicap or older people that could never navigate those stairs. So I pulled open the right door since it was 117 degrees outside, underground? Yes please. Also, part of the reason I had wanted to come here for so long was due to all the stories of how cool the basement, stone lodge bar is. The bar is pitch black so be careful folks when you descend and land at the bottom. It is pretty small like three tables and a bar. I sat at the little tables they had set up by the heart fireplace. It was delightful and I bet glorious in the winter with the fire going. Not today of course. Ha! I could not see a darn thing. lol I had to get out my flashlight on my phone. Seth was my server and he was great. The onion rings were too die for delish, and the prickly pear Margarita hit the spot. The rings come with these four plate decoration types of different sauces that was so good I could drink them. I actually llcked the plate. Ha kidding, or am I? I got the adobe Sliders and I did not care for them but that is on me not them. Next time I will try the beef or prime rib sliders. It was all very good but a heads up it is not cheap, folks. Bring a friend. I had enough leftovers though to last three meals. It would have been better to go with someone and share a few more items. Easier on the wallet too I suppose. The bad part of having a holiday weekend birthday is most folks are out of town. i don't mind going to places alone but for HH this was expensive. I am definitely going back and hopefully my friends will come along. It is a great place to check out if you have never been. Not sure there were a lot of options for vegetarians though. read more

Sadly disappointed. Fish was overcooked and service was untrained. Dicks Hideaway is a better location IMO.

Arguably the finest Southwestern fare in the city. Fabulous cuisine always made fresh and served hot. The sauces, seasonings and accompaniments are creative and delicious!! Service is efficient and notably personable. The ambiance is classy & electric with energy. The downstairs bar is entirely unique and cozy. Great staff! read more

We came to celebrate a special birthday and went well. The basement sitting was something different so glad we were able to experience it. It's a must! Dark, dingy, wine cellar vibes was on point. The only complain that I could point out was the temperature. Thought being downstairs would be a lot cooler but that wasn't the case. It was a little uncomfortable to be honest. Overall, we enjoyed it and will be trying this place out again. read more

Been a while since been to the Rokerij. Has always been a great experience until today. Nothing like very poor service to ruin your Mother's Day. Margarita was sub-par. Food was good so that was the only positive. Carne Asada enchiladas and Garlic Shrimp pasta were yummy! read more

I've been here many times and had always had a good experience, however, the most recent time might be my last for a while. We had gone with a group for a business dinner and had requested to sit in the basement. The host told us that he would get it ready for us and to wait for 5-10 minutes. He came out a few minutes later and told us, sorry, we actually have a VIP coming and could not provide us with that seat after all. The way he came across was pretty rude and made me feel kind of bad. So once we were seated we had a waiter who looked pretty unkempt greet us after about ten minutes. He seemed to me like he had just smoked a bunch of weed before he came to work. He was really goofy and didn't seem to understand our cocktail orders. I ordered a ranch water with Patron and I'm positive it did not have Patron in it. I've been drinking Patron forever and know what it tastes like. It took at least 15 minutes for our drinks to come out. When ordering our food I was having difficulty choosing between 2 entrees and he recommended the Schnitzel. He raved about it and said it was his favorite thing on the menu so I ordered it. It was awful! The chicken was not crisp, the noodles had no sauce and it was all sitting in about an inch of water. Then we decided to order a bottle of wine. When he finally came with the wine and wine glasses he broke one of the wine glasses over 2 people in our party leaving glass everywhere. Once we left, we realized the waiter also forgot to bring out our salads. This place has gone downhill. They need to hire waiters with more experience, especially at this price point. The reason why I gave it 3 stars is because every other experience had been good. Saying that however, I won't be back for a long time. read more

Outstanding Reminds me of old school spots in NY and DC Food is always on point Service is excellent Reservations can be made Dimly lit Lovely ambiance Great for a date or a friend gathering Never had a bad experience here read more

Good food and atmosphere. I was there on 12/19/24 and it seemed like the servers were rushed and understaffed. However, we had a good time anyway. I was disappointed to find that I had been double charged on my credit card same..:charge times two. I called the restaurant and was told to call back and speak to the manager, Bill. I've made three attempts to call always get to voicemail. I've left a message. Never called back. so I'm going on yelp to let them know that their practices with returning calls is poor. I likely will not ever return and that's too bad. read more

This place was a hidden Gem. I've driven by before and never knew it existed. The place stays nice and dark with mostly candle lighting at night. Our server Holly was amazing. She was friendly snd paid attention to detail. That coolest part is that if you take the stairwell downstairs there's a bar underground also. Now let me tell you about this food. The salmon bites word very well done and the chipotle aïoli dip went very well together. It was a delicious combination. I followed that up with their steak topped with a king crab, now let me tell you that king crab was the highlight of my steak. Now, the steak was really good and the temperature was perfect but that king crab with the jalapeño hollandaise sauce was just on another level. The double baked potato really hit the spot also. The only thing I wasn't feeling too much were the cocktails in the restaurant area. I probably should have gone down to the bar for a drink. Aside from that this restaurant was a very pleasant experience and will definitely be going back. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in the Phoenix metropolitan area, all the food is great and I recommend it regularly. We are here about once a month with friends. It has the 5 staples, great food, great location, great service, Valet Parking, and good prices. A must stop when in Phoenix, if you live here try their other two places as well, Richardson's and Dicks Hideaway. Thanks for the many years of great experience's ! read more

Seemed overpriced for what it was. Definitely seems more like a bar, so the cost is a little surprising. I guess you're paying for the speakeasy feel. read more

This place used to be a staple for my family although they do not encourage kids by having wildly priced chicken fingers. However the quality seems to have gone down quite a bit as if they forget to run the food and it sits under a heat lamp for too long. The margaritas are still fantastic however! read more

Very cool spot. Attached to Richardson's. We started at the patio bar and made our way down to the little speakeasy of Rokerij. We sat at the bar as all tables were reserved in the area. Had the bacon wrapped jalapeños and the tortilla it came with was amazing. We got 2 ribeyes, one was custom ordered to lobster to it, the way the dish the NY special. Also got a prime rib. It was the biggest hunk of meat I've ever seen. Also got the wings. They had a good spice and kick to them, and were dry rubbed as opposed to wet which worked well. read more

Rokerij - Prime rib - Seafood Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This is such a unique experience. The vibe is what I might describe as "modern upscale dungeon". My friend claims they have the best Expresso Martini! I like the prickly pear margarita, especially during happy hour. The bartenders make great drinks and are very friendly! They do have food and drink specials for happy hour. The food is great. (I forgot to take pictures.) Their menu has a great variety of items from burgers to seafood to steaks. The atmosphere is dark and romantic with a few "love seat" areas for couples to sit around. They even have a "candlelight fireplace"! read more

We sat at the bar. There were only 2 other people...the third party we thought were customers but they turned out to be the wait staff! After sitting for 20 mins the bartender asked them to wait on us. We ordered drinks and hors d'oeuvres. One hors d'oeuvre came and we enjoyed..15 mins later the other 2 hors d'oeuvres arrived and the skewers were cold. They took them back to warm them...20 mins later they brought them out and they were cold again! They were very defensive about it..the third time it was 20 mins later and the cook prompted her to bring them direct from the stove..they were finally hot. After that the waitress/socialite was no longer able to speak to us nor look at us..so unprofessional, so immature.. don't think we will try again... read more

Absolutely loved this spot! The Restaurant it's self is big and has an indoor and outdoor seating. They have multiple bars. There is also even a downstairs area that you can eat that has some tables, a fire pit, and the bar with full menu of drinks and food. That area was my favorite! Drinks were awesome, food tasted very good and it was well priced, and the bartenders were awesome! would definitely Recommend! read more

I brought my Father here for Father's Day in anticipation of a nice high quality dinner. It was anything but that. The service was great once we were seated however more into the evening the.disaster began. We were waiting 30 minutes in between seeing our server. It was hard to get refills on drinks, ordering cocktails and appetizers. When our food came several things were very wrong. Our steaks were charred. (They had to send it back to the chef). The service was super duper slow and the staff were non empathetic to the situation. Overall the worst possible experience for a Father's Day dinner. read more

I love the bar at the Rokerij , I always go to the downstairs bar which is so nice and dark and cozy. Very relaxing environment with the dark candle lit tables. In the winter they have the fireplace going and they have nice big comfy chairs you can sit in and relax. The food is always amazing, I love their green Chile sauce and my husband loves the red sauce. The bartender Mattie is very helpful and knows the menu. I have been here many times and never have been disappointed. I will definitely be back again soon. They do have complementary valet which I'm not a fan of since I can park my own car, but besides that I have no complaints. read more

Great Smells, Good Food, Good Service, Great Sized Portions! Birthday date night went well here! This place had a nice cozy dimly lit ambience and the most wonderful smells in the air! I felt like it was a nice little cozy spot for some tasty food! I had the meatloaf, which wouldn't sound super awesome normally but was a great portion of mashed potatoes with a sort of Mexican style corn and a generous portion of delicious meatloaf with mushrooms all over the top! It was surprisingly delicious and best of all a good size portion big enough for a guy my size! This place is actually two restaurants in one which was slightly confusing we ended up in the bar side and one of the people there was kind enough to let us know we had reservations for the restaurant side which also had a bar and one is named a different name even though they are apparently the same company. Kind of confusing, but it seems good. I do not remember our waiter's name he was a guy in his mid to late 20s I would guess and he definitely tried to go out of his way to make us comfortable and make sure everyone in our group is happy. Some of our group tried things like the jambalaya which looked pretty tasty, also the pasta Heidi which looked pretty good too, surf and turf also arrived at our table but I didn't eat any of it because it wasn't mine. People seem to get touchy when you start stealing their food so I was a good boy this time. All in all I feel like I want to give this place 4.25 stars since there is a four or five star choice I end up stuck doing only four stars. Definitely a place I would go again but it is pretty far away from where I live so I am not sure how often I would be in the vicinity again in the future. If you are ever in this area and need a good date night spot, this would be a good place to try out. read more

Great cocktails. Great food! Perfect date night ambiance. Met my boyfriend there for our first date. Awesome spot.

Such a cool vibe! It can be 110° outside but when you go to the basement area and the fireplace is on, you feel like you need a sweater. Even if the sweater is just to absorb the wine stains from spilling on your own lap. Happy hour is the best because the prices are not inexpensive but the food is amazing. I believe these are the same owners as the upstairs bar, Richardson's, and Dick's Hideaway, down the street. The food is fantastic but I really like the vibe at this place the best. If you are new to the area and want a unique experience try it out. If you have lived here a long time and haven't tried it yet, what are you waiting for? read more

Always a comfortable space, fantastic service and amazing food for a decent price! Best NM food in town!!

I have never been more conflicted about a review. I left this place loving it and raving about the food and was for sure planning to give it a 5 star. I started the night with the salmon bites which were absolutely delicious, crispy and paired perfectly with cappers. The Caesar salad was okay, nothing out of this world but I didn't expect it to be. Now the star of the night was the Angus Top Sirloin. Definitely the best steak I've had in Phoenix. The peppercorn whiskey lime sauce was incredible. The portion sizes were huge. I couldn't even finish my plate so I took the majority of the mashed potatoes, broccolini and a little bit of my steak back come. So here's the part where I got less excited. The next day when I was eating the leftovers I found a rubber band on my food and I was so bummed because I am guessing it's the rubber that comes with the broccolini and I understand that mistakes can happen in the kitchen but the thought of possibly eating that is a huge alarm for me. If not for this incident I would have definitely given it a 5 stars. I don't know if this will discourage me from coming again because honestly the food was terrific but the hazard of potentially eating a rubber band is one I can't ignore. read more
