Fantastic staff and excellent service. Interesting rustic-industrial interior and atmosphere. Booth was too tight, very vertical, and uncomfortable. Candle and fresh flowers on the table was a nice touch. Crab cakes with pineapple salsa were excellent but very expensive. Chicken on risotto and spinach was presented beautifully, but the chicken was tough, small and overcooked, very disappointing and overpriced.

We had a great dinner at Rocktown Kitchen in Harrisonburg, VA! Everything from the food to the service was excellent — flavorful dishes, perfectly cooked, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. You can tell they care about quality and detail. I’d definitely go back if I’m ever in the area again!

Our group started off with the fried oysters. All of us tried the fish sandwich special. It was served with a homemade tartar sauce that was excellent. I choose the onion rings as my side. They did not disappoint. Service was good.

Such a great place to eat! My wife and I went here for a date night dinner in Jan of 2026; we fully enjoyed our experience! We will be coming back sometime soon!

The people at the restaurant were very friendly. It was a nice atmosphere with lots of natural light. They have a patio out front as well. Plenty of parking nearby.
The food was a little touch and go.
Fried green tomato – good crust on the outside. Nice sauce, but maybe a dollop of goat cheese on the plate would be a nice addition in case you want more tang.
The meatloaf with mashed potatoes was very good!
The mac and cheese could be slightly creamier with more cheese.
The steak was cooked to medium-rare, just how i like it, but it was lukewarm, as if it had sat for a little too long.
My sister got the shrimp and grits. Being from NC, we’ve had a fair number of this dish. The grits were not smooth and velvety, but grainy and toothsome. The sausage “croutons” were way too hard (borderline burnt) and very overpowering. The manager did comp it, so not mad about it.
Now…. for the dessert, we shared the sticky toffee cake with caramel and vanilla icecream. This dessert definitely redeemed things a bit.

We went here for dinner on a whim and had the best meal!! The service was great and speedy, especially for a Friday night. I had the meatloaf and the Mac and cheese that came with it was full of creamy flavor and the green beans were a delightful pairing. My date had the shrimp and grits and it was a hearty portion and the shrimp was delicious. We finished dinner with the brownie and vanilla icecream, paired with chocolate sauce, caramel, and raspberry sauce topped with pecans. Such a great experience and would go again!

Came here for the big 24th bday. My bday and this place did not disappoint, crab cakes were on point and the steak was magnificent. Our server, I’m not sure his name, was an absolute dog. He had a mustache and goatee combo and he was rocking it. He was a great server and you can tell he knows his way around a juicy piece of meat. I’m not sure what they put in the water in this place but for some reason it was hitting harder then thanos with all 6 infinity stones. Other than that this place was definitely a place I’ll be going back to and I’m very excited to try out all the other options they had on the menu. Until next time

I really liked this place. Make sure you park across the street. The appetizers are to die for, so good! The crab cakes are delicious and I really liked the sweet potato fries but didn’t love the side salsa. My s/o had a steak and it could have used a better sear but the inside was cooked to perfection. Our waiter was the best, so friendly making sure we understood the menu. All in all, I would come back here again.

Don’t buy the “tomahawk” steak. Fairly long review ahead.
My family and I decided we wanted to go to a nice restaurant before we left the area (the website alleges that it is a “fine dining casual” restaurant) and so we settled on Rocktown Kitchen.
We arrived right when the dinner service began so we didn’t have to wait to be seated, which was nice.
We all ordered some of their signature cocktails (pictured is “Persephone’s Bite” i believe it’s called) and I think we could all agree that the cocktails were great, very creative and tasty.
Now, everyone seemed to be going well, our appetizers came out shortly after ordering, and that was delicious as well (fried green tomatoes and fried oysters) although definitely a smaller serving than we anticipated.
The server was kind and attentive, and he sold us on two of the specials, the baby back ribs, and the “tomahawk” steak.
Now… I use parentheses in this context because the steak we were presented with was hardly a tomahawk steak. The steak was supposed to be medium, it clearly was not, and it wasn’t even particularly hot when it arrived at our table.
Now.. hindsight is 20/20, we probably should have sent the “tomahawk” steak back, but we had been waiting a while at this point and were quite hungry so we just ate our “tomahawk” steak.
This steak was $135, does that steak look like it’s worth that much to you? We were sorely disappointed with both the cut of meat the served us, and the presentation (which we were told was going to be special, when it reality it was just the chef coming out and setting it down and leaving promptly), and we were told that it was a 32oz “tomahawk” steak.
Clearly the restaurant served us a different cut of beef and gave us a bone for presentation, and so we complained to our server, who told us he would take it off the bill and give us a complimentary dessert.
However when the check came the steak was still on the bill, and all we got for being swindled was a brownie with ice cream.

Delicious food, great service, and pleasant atmosphere.
The menu offers plenty of options while keeping it small, which is always a good sign that the restaurant is focusing on quality over quantity.
The server was attentive and friendly, and the place has a really nice vibe. It is also next door to a brewery, so make sure to to stop there before or after your dinner.
