This sports bar definitely delivers on a sports atmosphere. With a good sports vibe, it’s the kind of place where you can really get caught up in the excitement. The service was also a standout – the staff were incredibly attentive, making sure everyone was taken care of even as it got busy. Plus, finding a seat wasn’t an issue as they have plenty.
When it comes to the food, it’s your standard bar fare with a good variety of options to choose from. While it won’t blow you away, it certainly did the job. Overall, if you’re looking for a place with a buzzing atmosphere, top-notch service, and plenty of room to settle in and watch some sports, this spot is a solid choice. Just don’t go in expecting a gourmet culinary experience. But as sports bar go I’ll be back. It also looks like it’s a good place to watch UFC.

Waited for over an hour and my salad was wet. Does the owner still allow underage drinking? This place used to be the best in town at that!

On my visits to Cortland I have eaten at the rock several times. This time I ordered the Western burger with a side of chili and with a appetizer of nachos. I was disappointed that the nachos and salsa came out with the meal I really wanted it as an appetizer. The burger was cooked well and very enjoyable to eat. The chili I found bland and felt like it came out of a condensed can of soup it wasn’t very exciting. I will eat here again but pay attention to the appetizers and when they’re served and I won’t be getting the chili.

The food wasn’t awful. In fact, the appetizers were really good. But the service was hugely lacking. I’m not sure why considering it wasn’t very busy. At one point, we saw our drinks sitting at the bar waiting for our server to bring them over and we ended up having to ask the bartender if we could just get them ourselves.

How this place isn’t in, at least, the top 10 of restaurants in Cortland is beyond me. We’ve (my husband and I) have been trying Cortland restaurants for a few years now and nothing has stood out. Until now. Our waitress’s name was Julia and she was so sweet and friendly. No hovering (which I hate). We had the burgers, which were really good (cooked perfectly) and my husband ordered a side of the fried pickles, which I tried. So weird and tasty! Loved them.

Stopped in here for lunch and it was GREAT! The service was fast and really friendly. The food was served quickly, and with faultless execution of our requested modifications. Pricing is very affordable, and the environment is really fun. Next time we’re in the area, we will definitely check it out in the evening. Highly recommend

We had a new server during our visit, she was doing well with her trainer. The menu had some nice variety, however the chicken waffles was my meal of choice and the waffle machine had just broken that day. My grilled cheese was slightly above average, the sweet potato fries were cooked well but could have used a sweet dipping sauce. The mac and cheese however I would recommend. The mac n cheese was very creamy which is my favorite. My margarita was not good, it tasted like a flat vodka club soda. Someone else at our table also received the wrong drink and that was remedied. The server was very attentive which I appreciated.

So I decided to stop here while touring the local college with my son. Honestly, I wanted to go to the diner across the street but they don’t allow seating 45 minutes before closing saw this place across the street noticed it had a decent amount of stars and said what the heck. I wish I read the reviews first. Unfortunately I was a little too hungry Service was excellent. I love the ambience in the TVs. If you’re a sports fan this is the place to go. We ordered an appetizer came out right away. Appetizer was good. Looked a lot smaller than the picture in the menu that we were looking at my son, ordered a double burger, and I ordered the mac & cheese and requested to have pulled pork on it, the waitress obliged. So this is where the meal turns a little bit south my son said the burger was bland. No seasoning and I would agree with the Sysco barbecue sauce from another reviewer. My mac & cheese was cold and so is the pulled pork. luckily mine was not over cooked and swimming in the weird cheese sauce originally wanted to order a dessert then decided not to have any more food. Personally, I get it you’re in a college town but when you’re charging what you are you really expect to get decent food not the stuff that comes frozen off of the Sysco truck. Needless to say if the kid picks this college I won’t try this place again unless I maybe drunk. Such a shame as it a cool spot.

Needed some lunch. The place was dead, as it’s more of an evening hot spot. Very nice staff, decent portions of food and everything tasted good. Worth a stop.

My first time to Rock Sports Bar and Cortland. A lot of screens to watch the Bills and other football games.
There’s a lot of space in the restaurant so it didn’t feel crowded. However, parking seemed a bit limited.
A great place with a good vibe.
