As always, fantastic ribs and sides at Rocky’s! Got the original sweet barbecue sauce that was outstanding! The dry rub on the ribs is delicious and they are so tender. Got one of my favorite corn cakes with the jalapeño jam and a side of mac & cheese. Brought home some bread pudding to try with dinner tonight. We love stopping at Rocky’s and highly recommend you check them out!

A little hole in the wall, that’s delicious. The staff was very friendly with all of us. The food was really good. Especially the pork ribs that melted in your mouth and fell off the bone before you even ate it. The barbecue sauce was great. Everyone liked their food. The mac & cheese had a little flavor kick to it. The empanadas were great too. They forgot to give me the corn bread.

Great value for your money BBQ restaurant in central Pennsylvania. Prices are very reasonable and food was fresh and delicious. Make sure you get there early before they run out of items. Plenty of street parking. Pull pork sandwich was tender and BBQ sauce comes on the side. The corn bread is worth the try too and it has corn in it !

Stopped here with my husband on a short weekend road trip. We love shopping and eating and do a little research to pick where we’d be eating. Glad we went with this place. Everything was amazing and prices are good.

Absolutely loved this place. Came here for lunch yesterday, all the food was delicious. I got the pulled pork platter with baked beans and mac n cheese. Pork was tender with good flavor. Beans were really good,they had onion and ground beef bits in it. The mac n cheese was cheesy and good flavor as well.Also got the cornbread, it was good just didnt like that it had corn bits in it. Just wish it was easier to find parking around here(also wish street parking was FREE). Will definitely be back to this location.

After a day of antiquing in Columbia, Pennsylvania—home to some of the best antique stores—Rocky’s BBQ was the perfect spot for Sunday lunch. We split the Pitmaster Platter and a side of mac & cheese, and everything was fantastic.
The portions were generous, and the flavors really hit the mark. The sausage and ribs were absolutely delicious. The brisket was good too, though I tend to prefer a fattier, melt-in-your-mouth style, as this one leaned a bit on the leaner side with a slightly chipped taste. That said, it was still very enjoyable.
The staff were amazing—friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared that we were enjoying our meal. Their hospitality truly stood out.
I’d highly recommend Rocky’s BBQ. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to plan a trip back to Columbia PA from DC just for another round. Thank you to the awesome ladies at Rocky’s for a great experience!

Owner of Semi-Casual BBQ here. One thing I love to do is support our local businesses and communities regardless of what others would deem competitors.
Rockys BBQ is the real deal in barbecue. This is what our business model strives to achieve, and when I say the bar is set high, I mean that. Everything I tried was on point to the highest standard. Portion sizes are excellent, and the flavor profiles are out of this world delicious!
During my visit, I had their pulled pork with smoked beans, burnt end mac and cheese, and cornbread cake. I ordered the wife takeout cheddar jalapeño links and dill potato salad. Couldn’t have been more pleased with our meals.
They have a sign posted in the seating area saying, “Good food isn’t cheap, cheap food isn’t good,” and I’ll tell you what, people say all the time barbecue is overpriced but don’t understand the craftsmanship, and time it takes to put out this high standard of food. Rockys BBQ met all expectations without the feeling of “This was an expensive meal.”
Thanks again, Rockys. we wish you continued success and hope to learn a thing or two for our own path in the world of BBQ.

My husband and I got a few things to share. The Pit Master Platter, the pork n mac, and a brisket empanada. Everything was delicious. I love the smoke flavor in the mac! Next time, I’m getting more than one empanada!
