I had the honor of attending the ribbon cutting for The Rock Sports Bar with the Round Rock Chamber to celebrate their new location, and what stood out immediately wasn’t just the space. It was the people.
So many folks I spoke with called this their spot. Not casually. Proudly. They talked about friendships built here over the years. Regulars who know each other’s names. More than one person called it their local “Cheers,” and that felt earned, not cute.
The new location is a real upgrade. They built out a full commercial kitchen and it shows. The food coming out was tasty and thoughtfully done, and they’ve been rolling out community-focused specials that actually feel like a thank-you, not a gimmick.
Plenty of TVs for sports, a welcoming outdoor area where families were hanging out, and a staff that was friendly, attentive, and clearly proud of the place.
This isn’t just a sports bar. It’s a neighborhood anchor. And those don’t happen by accident.

Granddaughter had a basketball game in the area and when it finished we all wanted something to eat and watch UT girls on the tv. The Rock was close by. We had the fajita salad. It was just ok but very small. Hotdog with sweet potato fries and it got an a+ rating. And a club sandwich which u was a little dry but good. They have tons of TV’s to watch and GREAT outside seating. An NFL playoff game was on and the noise level was really really loud! Too loud. Service was good since few people were eating but mostly drinking. It is located in old downtown Round Rock at a beautiful spot. You can tell that this is a local watering hole filled with local clientele. Not sure we would ever consider going back but it was good.

First and last time here. Had to send my food back and remake. Our waiter wasn’t around..we we’re outside. So I had to carry my own food in and have it remade. Not a pleasant experience.

It’s Sunday football. They only have 2 people to make drinks and take orders. Don’t expect fast service. But the employees were very good under the circumstances. They were kind and worked as hard as they could. They weren’t the issue. Management made the choice to understaff.

So we came here for lunch yesterday and the food was amazing for bar/kitchen food. The loaded fries and mushrooms are LIFE!!
Then we came here for dinner while we were out on the town. Got the same plus the 3 pointer and the house salad, which was so good. Their salsa I like alot because it’s got kick but also white people friendly so it’s available for different palets.
The kitchen stays open depending on business. I recommend everyone come to this place for a pre-game or a midgame 8-10pm snack.

My friends and I stopped here early afternoon last Saturday. It’s in the perfect location nestled in the heart of downtown Round Rock. It was our first time here and we will definitely be back. Service was amazing! The food was amazing! The overall atmosphere was amazing! They were offering $2 mimosas that were delicious. If you’re looking for a great unexpected delicious brunch spot, this is your place. The chicken and waffles is a must try.

We found this place after waiting in line forever at another place close by. At first waitress seemed a little clueless about us ordering alcohol before 12 on a Sunday. She said we couldn’t, even though there were people all at the bar with beer and a man right next to us with a tall bloody Mary. However, after asking, we found out you had to have food in front.of you in order to have alcohol, it was brunch so that was too easy. Food was amazing! I ordered the chicken and waffle and everything was delicious. A friend had nachos and it was a large order with plenty of toppings. French toast was good and filling. Definitely will be back.

My friend brought me here because she loves their Texan salad and waffle fries. And they didn’t disappoint! I ordered the popcorn shrimp with side Ceasar salad and they were so delicious! Gabby served us our food and was our bartender and she was AMAZING!! Super sweet and took care of us like we were family! She even turned down the TV which had previously been turned up so loud with screaming from the football game that I had to ask my friend several times to repeat what she had said! Gabby made my friend a lemon drop and it was just as good or better than the food! Highly recommend sitting at Gabby’s bar!!!!
