Rock Room And Grill - Gary

Closed to private party.. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

Just enjoyed the french dip and loaded fried special, and it was delicious! The atmosphere is cozy yet classy. I highly recommend the Rock Room!

Food was good, but selection was small. The server didn't immediately notify us that main course options were dinner only, but they were busy with two 20+ tables of elderly folks.

My family and I came to eat here and went to the bathrooms before we went to take our seats and the manager came over and was so rude to us while we were waiting for our family to finish going to the bathroom before we took our seats. He came up and asked us what we were doing and I told him we were going to use the restroom before we took our seats and I asked him if the tunnels were open to tour (We saw on their website and were very interested in checking them out after our meal. he looked me up and down, said “no” very angrily, and stormed off. My family and I felt so uncomfortable we decided to just leave and not eat there. Before we left we wanted to make our trip here worthwhile, so we decided to check out the trails and river before we left since they were right on the campground close to where we parked. When we were leaving, the manager followed us out and asked us what we were doing and we told him we were here visiting and walked away to avoid any further issues with him since he seemed like he was in a bad mood. Walking to the river and bridges he then followed us and was pointing at us and counting how many of us there were while he was on the phone, at that point we were sure he was calling the cops on us, but we were doing nothing wrong, so we just kept walking the trails thinking that was the end of it. At the end of the trail, the manager comes up to us AGAIN with a golf cart asking us “when are you going to leave?” Very rudely then told us we are on private property and we need to leave. To avoid any further issues, we just decided checking this place out wasn’t worth the headache and just left. This is upsetting for a few reasons, our uncles were disc golfing at this campground on the same property and area earlier the same day and were not kicked out or even talked to, and on their website they don’t say anywhere that the trails or anything like that is private property. If we would have seen that the tunnels couldn’t be viewed, we wouldn’t be able to hike peacefully, or enjoy a meal without being hounded by the manager we wouldn’t have even bothered. I don’t recommend going somewhere that is ran by someone who is so rude to potential customers, we were going to come with all of our extended family here for dinner, but now none of us will ever go there again. If you want to be treated respectfully and nicely go somewhere else. I will not be giving my money to somewhere that is ran by someone who is so rude to people, that left a horrible taste in my mouth. Do better.

Fantastic place to celebrate events! Enjoying the ribs and Caesar salad and really like the rock wall interior of this historical building. The history is interesting and artwork and relics from its blind school days ad to the charm.
