Had a family dinner to celebrate a birthday and it was such a great overall experience. Plenty of space for our large party, food and drinks met expectation but our service was outstanding. (Shout out to Jeremy our server!)

Debbie was wonderful. She was polite, kind and patient. We had the Mexican street corn appetizer which was really good. I also had the meatloaf oatmeal special with mashed potatoes that was delicious and reminded me of my grandma’s cooking. Dessert was definitely perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth and a cappuccino is the perfect way to end dinner. I’ve been coming here for over 2 decades and will always recommend it. It’s also a great vibe to watch sports.

Had a great experience at Rockwell. The main selection was amazing, the service was excellent, and the staff member who attended us was especially attentive and welcoming. The food was also very good across the board. Five stars in every category—highly recommend.

This was our first time here. We got the Ferris Wheel of appetizers. The waffle fries are delicious!!! Hubs enjoyed the jalapeño poppers and son enjoyed the popcorn chicken. The Cobb salad was very good and so was the white and red sangria!! We will be coming back to try more things from the menu.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Rockwell, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and the service was top-tier.<br><br>What truly stood out was the manager, Ivan. He was incredibly attentive, making sure everything was running smoothly and that every guest felt taken care of. Ivan went above and beyond to check in on our table, ensuring our food was perfect and that we were enjoying our time. His professionalism, friendliness, and genuine care for customer satisfaction made a lasting impression.<br><br>It’s clear that Ivan takes great pride in his work, and it reflects in the overall dining experience. I would absolutely recommend Rockwell to anyone looking for not just great food, but exceptional service as well.

Great place for a Burger and fries. Great selection of beers. Service was outstanding. Just be warned lots of families with kids come here.<br><br>If you like your Burger med rare order medium, or else it might be raw, Great advice from my waiter and spot on!<br><br>Another plus, unlike other restaurants, they don't charge you extra or discount for cash, if you use a credit card. Some price for all.

Response from the owner

had an excellent experience in Devi. The food was delicious, full of flavor and very well presented. But what really made the difference was the service. Our waiter was extremely attentive, friendly and professional. He was always aware of our table without being invasive, explained the menu in detail and made us feel very welcome.<br><br>I will definitely return and I recommend it 100%. Great service and great experience!

Have eaten here many times and have never had a bad meal.<br>This is a classic neighborhood bar restaurant.<br>The menu is solid and the food is great.<br>The service is fantastic and the beer is cold.<br>Beyond that I'm not sure what else you can ask for !<br>I also read the lowest reviews for a good laugh and all I can say is New York has become so soft it's pathetic !!<br>If you want a great meal or a few drinks and watch the game then stop by Rockwells, you won't be disappointed

Response from the owner

We’re glad to hear that you’ve had consistently fantastic meals with us, enjoying our solid menu and cold beers while watching the game; it's always a pleasure to welcome back friends like you. Thank you for sharing your experience, William!

First time at Rockwell’s in Pelham.<br>We had the cajun burger w cajun fries and California burger w spinach on the side. Disliked the sautéed spinach, should've ordered a different side. Tasted.. bland.<br><br>But THE BURGERS?! Def recommend them and the cajun fries were fantastic!!<br><br>For appetizer, we had the rockwell combo platter! Nothing crazy but very filling!<br><br>Our server Deborah was amazing! So attentive helpful gave us great recommendations and the drinks were sooooo good!! The henny mojito 10/10 and the bourbon ginger snap 10/10!! The ambiance is so cute you can take a picture and upload it onto the screen. Adds to the family friendly coziness. Plenty of tvs if you are interested in watching sports too.<br><br>Thank you DEB! 😍

Response from the owner

Stopped here to catch up time with a friend & was delighted with our server; Debra! Debra made some great suggestions, split our Chicken Cobb salad which was to die for. Fresh , crisp & cold. The bacon was crisp & the grilled chicken was done just right. The chicken Tortellini soup was fabulous & my onion soup was filled with cheese. We had a great booth, the atmosphere was friendly & quite enough to have a great conversation. Kudos to Rockwells!oh, if you sign up using the QR code there’s a rewards program!

Response from the owner

We're delighted to hear that Debra made great suggestions during your visit, especially with the Chicken Cobb salad and chicken torta.

Visited for an early dinner and the atmosphere and ambience in the Garden patio was beautiful in the late afternoon sun. We were greeted warmly by the wait staff as we entered, the restaurant was quiet before the dinner rush, even with that they greeted us quickly and kindly.<br>Lynnette was very kind and patient, and the best waitress we’ve had in a long time, a total pleasure to interact with, and incredibly helpful with recommendations. Her recommendation of the gyro was a great recommend, and also helped suggest the idea of splitting the Clam Chowder soup, since we were tentative about over ordering. Really great listener and understanding our asks, more than appreciate the quick problem solving and attentiveness in her service. Thank you!<br>Will definitely return to the great atmosphere, have already set plans for a future dessert date.
