Finally made it to Rockstar Burger Bar at 11:45 this morning and was surprised to find it already half full before noon. My friend and I sat at one of the high tables and were greeted promptly by our server.
The place has a nice, casual-sophisticated atmosphere, with a cool wooden tile ceiling and faux cement flooring. Abundant large screen TVs would make RBB a cool place for drinks and eats to watch sporting events, but I wouldn't describe it as a sports bar because the food is too good!!
I had the basic burger with American cheese and the works-including an I-Don't-Know-What-to-Call-It-But-It-Was-Pretty-Dam-Good home-made topping of jalepeno and onion served in a little crucible-shaped thing on the side. Wow, I could have used more of that! Hey, waiter, bigger crucible, please!
So this place makes a super burger on a large brioche bun, lettuce, pickle slices. I would compare the burger style to Independent Burger up in Montecillo, except, I'd say even better. I subbed the side of fries (included) for an excellent, fresh, cold Caesar Salad. Downed it all with a Diet Coke and was out if there in half hour and a $10 check--impressive!
Gotta go back soon. -

Well, for starters... don't go to a burger bar and order tacos.
Vile. I was hungry--as in, traveled 1,875 miles across 2 time zones without eating hungry, so a piece of shoe leather with A1 probably been tasty.
What I ordered:
- Ribeye tacos. Meat was ok, but not really seasoned in any meaningful way.
- Smoked pork tacos. Tasted spoiled. Maybe it was the onion, maybe the pork. Who cares? It was gross.
The tortillas for both were hard. The toppings and presentation were identical--fried onions, cilantro, plastic cup of sour cream, plastic cup of runny salsa.
Have I said vile enough? I couldn't even finish the pork ones. I paid my nearly $40 for awful tacos and went to go back to my hotel to eat a protein bar. -

So far I've only been there once for a business lunch, but I was really pleasantly surprised. It was a really nice environment to talk and discuss what we needed to discuss and the food was really good. I had their brisket tacos and I was actually really impressed. They were good, prepared quickly, and the service was great and very attentive without being intrusive.
I'm definitely planning on heading back there for future business lunches as well as during non working hours with my wife to try out their food and drink options. Based on what I had and what I saw on the tables around me I think this place has a really bright future and I am actively looking forward to going there again (and I really want some more of those tacos :-) -

We ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich and kids chicken strips to go. The chicken sandwich was really good but the buns were a little soggy. The kids strips could have been better. My daughter had 1 and was done. Portions are giant and she's 3 and extremely picky so that doesn't really say much. I think I'll try and eat at the restaurant instead of ordering out next time. Might make our 4 star experience a 5 star.

The food is really good here!!!
But..... everything else was horrible.
First off, there is no hostess. So you have to seat yourself. You could get a table before someone who waited longer than you or someone will take your table if you've been waiting longer than them. We tried getting a table, was told someone was there before us. We understood. But then someone who got there after us, got a table.
Survival of the fastest.
We sat up at the bar until we got a table. The entire time there, the cans and glasses from the previous customers sat there the entire time we were there. Bar tender seemed very annoyed and in the weeds.
Once we found a table, we stood there for a good amount of time waiting for it to get bussed. So, were we supposed to bus the table? They finally did.
Sat there and was supposedly being served by their best server and we were going to be taken care of since we had already brought up some concerns about the seating/table situation.
Took over 40 minutes for our burgers to come out. We were starving. Finally got our food, and it was pretty darn tasty. Our server said he'd be back with napkins. The chipotle burger has a beer battered bacon on it that's really good. Be careful, the chipotle sauce is super hot. Which brings me back to my next complaint.
As I was eating my burger, we were still waiting for napkins. So we went and got our own from an empty table because we never got them from our waiter. Waiter finally came around and I asked for water. Never got it, so we went up to the bar to ask for it.
If you're drinking at the table, order your drinks way ahead of time because it takes forever for a bottled beer to come out.
Some other server checked up on us and weshe brought us another water and we had to ask her if our server could bring our checks. That took forever as well.
So. Food is really good. Everything else, they need to work on it. It really felt like we did everything except cook the food. Not sure if we will be back.
3 out of 4 of us were once servers, so we tend to see our experiences different from someone who has never served. Which also means we tend to be a little more patient. So for me to complain, they really messed up.
If you're looking to go, go when it's super dead inside. Don't go when it's super busy.
