Don't expect any non-fat California-liberal avocado-shiitake-with-imported-Swiss tofu-cheeseburger nonsense -- no sirree. No pretentious cutesy faux diner decor, nor blended drinks with catchy names can be found in this place: It's a dive bar (albeit a clean one) with a killer kitchen. You get burgers made from freshly ground beef and topped with cheese (white or orange, you pick) and grilled onions, and accompanied by mounds of fries and cold beer. Freebies include genuine smiles from the staff, genuine concern for your satisfaction, truly interesting people-watching and a refreshing respite from corporate dining hype.

Not a kids' place, Rocky's is first and foremost a pub. While the bar serves 'til midnight, the grill shuts down by 10PM (with last order a half-hour earlier), but keep in mind that groveling has been known on occasion to get you a burger after 10:15PM. The fake-ID crowd should take note: While Rocky's has a casual and super-friendly vibe, don't expect to get an alcoholic beverage plunked down with your burger unless you're over 21. Business here is conducted old-school style: cash only.
