Solid bar food - overall had some decent bar pizza, pretzels, and apps. The drinks were pretty well priced. Had a key lime pie martini, it was just ok. Bathroom was pretty dirty which was unfortunate. Overall, solid food, decent service. read more

In the 6 years I lived in Waukesha, Wisconsin, I have visited many bars and restaurants... hands down we end up at Rox weekly! The food is great... some of my favorites include the artichoke (warm) with homemade pita wedges, Mac n' Cheese, pizza (must try, ask for extra cheese), burgers are great and fish fry is a delicious treat! What I most appreciate about Rox Bar and Grille is the hospitality... I visited the bar about a week ago with a friend in the early afternoon and played slots. Somehow, as I was stacking my winning tickets I forgot to grab the actual payout ticket. When we came back for dinner a few days after, the bartender told us "we found a ticket , to redeem $60, what we did was scrolled back in our cameras and found that it was you this money belongs to. Okay, I was shocked .... And delighted for not only having $60 extra in my pocket, but of their customer service, high above ANY other bar I have been to in 55 years. Top ALL these wonderful aspects of this bar/restaurant, is the atmosphere itself... always clean, spacious, inviting with its sofa lounge area, the entertainment shows, and let's not forget, we live I WI, this bar has TVs everywhere, no matter where you sit, you'll never miss any moments of a Packer game! Kudos to the owner for having this establishment and super kudos to ALL the bartenders, as we walk in they know, exactly what I will ask for (lol) which is impressive as I go there once a week. Chet this place out!!! read more

Great food. Iris has consistently been the best bartender/server in the Waukesha area. We come back often because of the great service!

Stopped in sometime in Mid-September 2022. Walked into the bar a few minutes after they opened and grabbed a beer, while I waited for the wife as she shopped the near Hallmark store. The pics I posted shows that this probably can get hopping during game days and I am sure the hotel next door provides visitors to the bar as well. Their selection of liquor, wine and beer - both on tap and bottled/canned offers something for your thirsty pallet. The bar also serves food from a shared kitchen, but you cannot get breakfast, they should change this, especially on the weekend! Anyway, from a bar patron and the bartender, they both raved about the fried chicken. We are going to have to check this out when I do not mind driving 35 to 45 minutes for fried chicken. Overall it was a nice place to grab a beer, looking forward to the fried chicken. read more

After having supporting this establishment for years, I had a significant issue with the owner Dino this evening. We (two local area church's) reserved Rox tonight back in Late October 2023 to do a "Beer and Hymns" event. Basically drinking and singing, eating and singing. I am the director of music, and the other gentlemen is the associate Pastor. We met there and discussed this with DINO AND his staff (Rosa) back in Sept 27th, 2023. It was an outing, not intended to push or force a religion. It was meant to be a fun, laid back outreach event which did include singing and drinking, patronizing a local family owned restaurant who had both stage lighting and a sound system for us to use., that would be quite busy and make $$$ for them ordering food. It was planned months ahead with Live music, guitar, piano... and singing. We needed the stage. I have texts proving of our initial communication and requests. He agreed to this. Upon arrival, the stage area was pre occupied with other sound equipment that was of another artists. When I saw this, I was frustrated, never once swore or raised my voice.... But I was direct with both the bartender and the owners wife of my frustration. We had lots of members coming which were going to spend money on both food and drinks at the restaurant . Clearly there was no intention for us to be using the stage space tonight. When the bartender came to me, I stated we were suppose to use this space tonight. What is going on?? The wife of the owner then came and also said Dino is coming. It was clear that I was frustrated and said to her "this is not right" The owner Dino showed up and came at me outside very aggressive towards me, raised his voice, and was at a yelling volume. He claims he didn't hear the "beer and hymns"part and wanted nothing to do with some kind of Christian music. He made it very clear he was Non denominational. He refused to let us play/ sing in the space as we had originally reserved and he originally agreed. He Just thought we were coming to hang out, drink and eat. But the event is called "Beer and Hymns", as it had been stated, marketed, and clearly communicated with from the very beginning. His niece "Rosa" who is an awesome bartender... avoided me like the plague. He also went on to say that I was very rude to his bartender and wife. I was direct, not rude, and never raised my voice or swore or insulted anyone. I expressed frustration at a conversation level volume due to the amount of people coming to patronize their bar from two local churches. As I had to pack up the equipment we already brought in and communicate as best possible via Facebook and message groups to our Church's about the event being cancelled... Dino the owner kept coming after me both inside and outside while I was moving my equipment and demanding I look him in the face to talk. II kept saying this was a *BEER AND HYMNS. Drinking and eating event, singing some Christian based tunes as several of us came to Rosa about on Sept 27th, and I followed up with multiple texts of communication. Clearly he did not listen to me. He also will not admit he screwed up. No matter this situation, Dino was unnecessarily aggressive and handled this poorly. He made a number of allegations at me, and also talked to my partner about this situation... which he was just with me to have fun and was Not Incolved with any of the planning. Dino and family does not deserve your business unless Dino steps away from the Business. The way I was attacked was completely unacceptable, and there were others from BOTH our church's who witnessed this tonight. There is no reason to support this family owners buisness. He had no reason to be as aggressive to me as he was. I just stopped talking to him while packing my equipment. There was nothing to say when your being verbally attacked. Please DONT patronize them! read more

Delicious pizza. The environment is warm and cozy. Bartender very friendly. I enjoyed this place.

To the yelper scumbags, I disagree with all that you say. This establishment has fantastic management. Service from all bartenders has and continues to be outstanding. Food comes quick. (no it's not a five star were you are going to get your duck with raspberry glaze) but solid food every time. I travel for a living. Worked in all fifty states. This is on my list of places to return to again and again. Thank you ROX! read more

Good food: I like the chicken gyro, in the past hamburgers have been good and tonight I had a tackle which was good except the flour tortilla was a little small. Good beer: a selection of craft beers ... cause you're old. Happy hours: featuring some of said good beers, cheap. Live music: because you were sick of that Justin Bieber song. Nice atmosphere! What's not to like? The other Yelp reviews. read more

Sunday night dinner Food good Drinks good Bartender good Manager yelling and cussing uncalled for but all else was good.. read more

This is a wonderful bar with a good atmosphere for hanging out with friends and conversation and being entertained. The staff is great and helpful. It's a very clean place with a good menu and tasty bar food! read more

Horrible service. A group of us came for some drinks and darts. They had the Patriots vs Colts game on and we asked the bartender if they could play music instead and they said no. We asked the other 5 people at the bar if they're watching the game and they said no so we asked the manager if we could play music and she also said no. We even put money in for music and they wouldn't switch it over. Was kinda a buzz kill. The tacos are pretty good though so I'll give them that! read more

Nice enough staff, but ambiance is cold. People hanging around the place were old timers, as exhibited by the type of live music playing. Not my kind of place, but could be the ideal hangout for older bar flys. read more

I've been here a few times and have been underwhelmed by the food each time. Tonight, my onion rings were overdone, and the Texas burger was lackluster with a pre-made patty and floppy bacon. The BBQ sauce on it was plentiful, though, which helped a little. The person I was with also had overbooked fries and was not impressed by the ribs he had. This is a good place to go to if you are looking to have a drink or two while watching a game on their TVs. They have an impressive, long list of available drinks to choose from. It has a great atmosphere for that, but their food is nothing to write home to mom about. read more

The drinks were good, and I liked the atmosphere. The bartender was able to give me a great recommendation to substitute for my usual New Glarus Moon Man. However, this didn't make up for the rest of the experience. We sat outside, and while our party of nine enjoyed staring and laughing while each of us struggled to use the door, it really should be fixed. And the food, well, it was just bad. I ordered the Mediterranean salad and spent about 10 minutes chopping it myself. The unpitted olives were very annoying as well. And while I understand that the bartender couldn't leave the bar unattended to come out to bring us our drinks/food or check on us, I would have appreciated her checking how everything went when we paid. I would really only come back here to watch a game, and considering there are plenty of places to do that where I can also order food, it's not likely. read more

Come friday from 7-11 for $5 long islands!!!

Terrible service in terrible food not looking for you into thinking it's something different he comes from the same terrible Restaurant at Spring city pizza is horrible service sucks not worth the waste of time read more

I won't ever go back. The bartender, her name starts with a B, was very unfriendly and cold. The food was average AT BEST. The only impressive thing was the guy who seemed to be the bar manager. He was working his butt off. The bartender seemed uncaring and uninterested. Wasn't impressed with the food at all. Too bad since it's located only 5 minutes from our home. read more

Hosted our daughter's college graduation party here. Great pizzas and wings. Dino made the party planning so easy with his expertise and Heather and Ashley were great to all the party goers. The owners, Peter and Dennis, even checked in to make sure all was well. Couldn't have asked for more! read more

Lame! Owner is rude. Saturday night and there are like 5 people in the place. Owner is a rude and has no customer service skills. Would NOT rocommend! read more

Asked for another drink at 9:59 when they close at midnight but I guess the bartender wants to close early. Gave me some story about having to give and the drink to others at the bar. Hint maybe you should stay open until close! read more

I was in there this evening around 4:00. I've never been there before, sat at the bar and got little attention from the bartender. I asked for a menu and got one, but never got asked what I wanted to drink or anything... Another 10 minutes goes by and nothing. There are plenty of good places in Waukesha that can use my business, so I left and went to one of them. I may give Rox another chance, but not if I see that bartender... Too bad... read more

The atmosphere is great and is extremely promising. However, the service is really bad. It doesn't matter whether it's behind the bar or when/if a server bothers to show up to take an order. I have gone many times, at different times and with different people and each time I'm hopeful that maybe, perhaps the service will have improved. It doesn't and I'd rather spend my time and money elsewhere. read more

I frequent this establishment 1-2 times a week. The gyros, pizza, and burger are great. The spinach artichoke dip is AMAZING, make sure to get it with pita chips. They have a great selection of micro brews and knowledgeable staff Ben and Mandy are awesome and know their beers. read more

Stoped in after work function. Was there 30 minutes. Fot 1 drink. Asked for menu. Never saw anyone again. Asked management. No explanation of poor service. Would not recommended to anyone. Worst place I have ever been. read more

Came in to watch some March Madness, but they had zero clue how to put any of the games on and I had to beg them to put it on. Never come here to watch sports, worst place around. read more

We've lived near here for nearly 10 years and we had never been to Rox until one of our favorite bands, J Dubz, played there. We were pleasantl surprised that the bar is spacious, modern with a good selection of beers and specialty drinks... and we know "Stella" the bartender. We will definitely be back with the neighbors... especially if J-Dubz plays here again! read more

Food, drinks and servkce were on point! Co-workers from 5 states ate and drank here 3 of the 5 nights we were in town. Awesome drink menu!!

Stopped in to watch the end of the Vikes/Pack game on Sunday. The bartender was a sweetheart. Super down to Earth and helpful. Beer cheese soup and chicken quesadilla were yummy too! But it was tough to be in enemy territory for that loss :-( read more

I read some of the reviews about Rox, and I was stunned about the comments regarding service. Every time we visit, we have had nothing but great service. The servers often come by to inquire about the drinks. I often attend with between 5-9 people and never once have I heard a complaint regarding the service. Happy hour has many specials.....and they serve wine by the glass. If my wife and I are too lazy to cook, we often order a plate of nachos. It fills us up. My favorite drink is Malibu and OJ, and they never fail to make it to my liking. As far as bars go, this is our go to place. read more

Great little place for some drinks. Was busy on Thursday night but staffed accordingly and had good happy hour deals. Very convenient location and I'll definitely check out the restaurant next door next time. read more

Absolute terrible service and ownership refused to take responsibility for it and only made excuses. Our group only ordered a few simple entrees yet waited well over an hour for the food. We will never return. read more

Fun place. A go-to if you're looking for a casual drink or to watch the game. Beer selection is great and the food was great as well.

I frequent this bar when we have a group of people because there is enough room to move a few tables for good conversations. When the weather permits, we use the patio. They have good happy hour specials. Last night I suggested that my family meet there. We had 11 people coming from various places and I knew this bar had room for u robe together. I asked the bar tender if we could move 2 adjacent tables together. I got a rather rude"I don't care I'm leaving , but the waiter won't like it". WE WERE THE ONY PEOPLE IN THIS LARGE BAR. I moved the 2 adjacent tables together When the waiter come over he was VERY angry that we moved the tables. He made no effort to serve us. I asked if we should leave, he said he didn't care one way or the other. We were all in shock at his attitude.!! We were going to leave, but we only had a short time to meet. Then he said, "I wouldn't come in your house and move your furniture". He seriously said that. He continued with this absolutely unacceptable rudeness. My brother talked to the manager and he just made excuses for him( apparently he's family) I guess you can be extremely rude if you are family of Rox's!! Don't you think this manager should have offered us something? It's one thing to have a bad waiter experience but it's outrageous when the manager accepts it!!! I just lost one of my favorite group venues. I'm looking for a new place. I hope others do the same. read more

A great atmosphere!!! The bartender, Rick was on top of his game!!! The food was pretty amazing. Will definitely come back!!!!!

We come here frequently and love the food and service! The pizza is amazing and the drink selection is top notch.
