Rock Bottom Restaurant & Brewery - Warrenville, Illinois

The atmosphere and decor is very nice. Love the rope lights that cut across. A good number of tv screens too. I think they break up the area with varying sections in a good way and a fun bar area. I have come here several times and started to come here more often. I have noticed the crowd increase more. However, today I was told by the waiter that the business has new owners. And I noticed that by the menu costs. The starters have shot up in prices!! An example is that the mozzarella sticks are now $15!!! All starters are about this price and above. This is not fine dining. It is a pub/brewery restaurant. We have had them before, they are nice but no where near that price. We skipped them this time and all starters. (So they lost revenue there). The rest of the food was good but the salad was not great. Turkey salad for $18. Hmm. Have a look at the photo. Says it all. I gave it a 4 star because the ambiance is good and the food is reasonable for this kind of establishment. They should bring the price down. This will lead to more customers, sales volume will go up and make more money. Hope they will realize that soon. I recommend come, choose food wisely and the beer and you should have a good time.

Stopped here on a work trip. It sounded good and we were hungry. I started off with the spicy tomato soup (not pictured), which was very delicious! The price was a bit much at $8 for a cup size.

For the entrees, we ordered the BBQ Pork Mac N Cheese and the Nashville Hot Chicken Pizze. The pizza was wonderful. The Thai sauce is a nice way to break up the spice in the chicken. The mac n cheese was blah, as much as I hate to say so. The pork was bland and tasted like turkey. I left most of it as I could not stomach it.

All in all though, it was a good visit. Our waitress was lovely and the atmosphere was welcoming.

Loved how festive this place gets decorated for the holidays! There’s Christmas cheer inside and out! Service was excellent, as always, and so was the food. However, the music was so loud this evening that it was difficult to carry a conversation over dinner and there were only two of us at the table.
Bavarian pretzel sticks are a favorite appetizer, the grilled ribeye was tender, and the new-on-the-menu ribs & chicken plate was very tasty!
Highly recommend the carrot cake for dessert - just be sure you have someone to share it with because it’s huge!

The food is good. The service was very good. The new beer Wicked Elf is a 8/10. Burger was cooked perfectly (rare). This shows the quality of the kitchen. Too many other places over cook a "rare" burger (not sure if that's due to risk mitigation. If you have a clean food prep area, and fresh beef, rare should never be a concern). There is a 2nd floor area that seems to be an event area. My friend who order the chicken fried chicken said it was ok, but the portion was too small for $18 (see photo). When he got back to work, he ate his lunch he brought in, cuz he was still hungry. Handicapped parking. Entrance is not handicapped accessible. Staff was very good.

Delicious bar / grill type restaurant. New menu, unfortunately means prices have gone up again. But the food is still consistently very good. We decided on the blue cheese burger and chicken fried chicken. Mashed potatoes and green beans were very good, unfortunately the coleslaw recipe has changed and I would not recommend it. We also went with the nachos and chicken, which was very delicious.

Had dinner here a few times, they've been good experiences overall. The fully loaded nachos are awesome (get the pulled pork) and the mozzarella sticks aren't half bad. Fried pickles are AMAZING, the cilantro ranch takes the appetizer to another level. Service has been okay, atmosphere is pretty family friendly. Prices are kinda high but I'd come back to Rock Bottom for drinks & dinner.

I had a great time at the Rock Bottom Restaurant and Bar. The atmosphere was great and the food was delicious. I love going to places like this and trying some of the drinks that they actually make in the building. I had the Event Horizon which is a dark beer and really enjoyed it. I wish I would have had the time to try another one that they make in the brewery on site. The Citrus Mojito was also very well done and tasty treat!

For food we had the Loaded Nachos and the Cajun Pasta. The Cajun Pasta was wonderfully seasoned and had a ton of different meat in it. This was a really great dish that had a balance of sauce and toppings. I would get this in a heartbeat on another visit. The Loaded Nachos were immense. The chips were nicely done. The queso, guacamole, and sour cream really brought this dish together. I mean it's nachos but it came on this huge plate and the Pico and salsa with all the other toppings were really enjoyable.

I highly recommend this place if you are in the area.
