Reviews for Rock Bottom Restaurant & Brewery in Highlands Ranch, CO

Truly a rock bottom experience. As a veteran of the service industry, I recognize arriving within the last hour of restaurant... hours is always a role of the dice, but this was absurd. Started off well enough with a friendly host stand and pleasant server.My spouse ordered a beer, I ordered a cocktail and waters arrive without asking. Drinks followed shortly after and our food wasout in amazing time. The nacho platter was impressive and tasty, however, the Philly cheesesteak on a gluten-free bun was acomplete catastrophe and insult to sandwiches everywhere. If you look at the photo with this post, you'll see not only thestomach turning pool of grease on the plate but also the overly saturated glistening bun. I took one bite and it was likesomeone served me a tablespoon of canola oil... just foul. Our server took a really long time to find her way back to the tableafter dropping off the food which meant my sandwich got more congealed and cold while I nibbled on the surprisingly tasty andcrispy waffle fries and helped myself to my partner's nachos. When she did finally wander back, she was quick to respond to myrequest for a new bun on a fresh plate as I know better than to send food back at that time of night. But by the time themagical second bun not soaked in an artery cloaking amount of oil arrived at the table, I was over it and had lost my appetiteand my spouse was done eating. Not once did a manager do a table touch or seem at all concerned, but there was one gentleman whoseemed very interested in flirting with the staff. I don't leave this review lately, but what we experienced tonight was beyonddisappointing. Because we are not "those people", we still tipped $10 on the $56 tab and didn't ask for a refund on my sandwich.That's on us and on management for not stopping by. Overall we suggest avoiding this location unless you're someone who isreally into overpaying for mediocre food and lackluster service in a location with the personality and overal Read more

The hostesses either need more training or fired. Actively listening is difficult and for some seem an unnecessary skill to... developed but then again I was foolish enough to think people do their jobs and didn’t check my order. I asked for a menu toplace a togo order and the hostess asked me what I would like. A menu for starters. I wasn’t sure if she heard me or not so nobig deal. The other hostess took my order. I placed my Caesar Salad entree, fish and chips, chicken fried chicken. I then askedif I could also have a side of Brussels sprouts with my meal. She said sure. I saw on the screen that it said side of BrusselsSprouts for $1. I questioned if this was correct because I wanted an additional side and she said yes. Guess what I didn’tget. They’re lucky it was for me that I didn’t get what I paid for and not my wife who is in the hospital next doorrecovering and being with our daughter in the NICU. I appreciate the inconvenience. I wonder who gets my tip I left for myorder. Hoping it’s not the hostesses working on 8/10 at 7pm. Food was decent nothing spectacular but it’s a brewery andbetter than hospital food. Read more

Dinner here was very pleasant, we sat out on the patio and enjoyed the shaded atmosphere. We ordered the beats appetizer with... sour beer queso fresco (pictured). For my entree I ordered the Sonoma Flatbread and let me just say that it was veryexceptional! I don't think I've ever had a flavor combination like it before. The Sonoma came with shaved green apples, bluecheese, truffle cream, shallots, kale and honey. Wow just wow it was amazing ???? ???? Dessert was a salted carmel whiskey shakewith graham cracker crumble at the bottom ???? Service was attentive and everything was delicious. Thanks guys! Read more

4/28 - Stopped in again this past week, the staff here are still amazing! Ordered the Cilantro Ranch Chop Salad. Ordered the... Sante Fe Grilled Chicken Salad with a Grapefruit Sol IPA. The food was absolutely delicious, left me thinking about how good itwas for at least 30 minutes after we had left. It was a large salad - a very healthy portion. Took a real commitment to get itdown while still allowing me the ability to walk away. The service stumbled on a few minor details but was very prompt andfriendly. This was my first visit to this location, having only eaten at their downtown restaurant. Definitely clean and hadsome of the cool brewery decor; however, the dining area seemed a bit simple. Still a solid choice for a good meal. Read more

We ate here twice (with large groups) during our recent visit to Denver. Great service, and very good food. Place can get a... little loud, but it is a bit of a sports bar. The second night I came in, the waitress immediately brought me my Arnold Palmer,so nice, and then she didn't miss a beat with the split checks for our huge group. The Pretzel sticks are amazing, tomatobisque was wonderful, flatbread pizza is delicious, even the Cobb salad ???? was absolutely wonderful... Not sure what the greendressing was, but it was tasty. Will repeat often when I am in town. Read more

Lunch yes!!! I had time to sit and enjoy the great service and let me tell ya...fried chicken sandwich! So juicy, great lite... tasty crust, huge pieces...just plain tasty. I bet their strips are great too. Nice selection so I shall return next trip. Read more

Food and beer were excellent! Service was ok, could've been a little better (appetizer came out the same time as the meal). We... ordered the Loaded Nachos! This appetizer is a meal! Definitely need at least 3/4 people to not be full for an entree. The fishand chips were really good. I prefer a little more flavor to my breading but still light and crispy! Heads up...No tartar sauce(no designated sauce for this meal at all, which is very strange to me). As for beers, we had 4 and all were exceptional!10oclock scholar has a great stout flavor, flatbed red was top notch (tons of flavor!), Liquid Sun and Cherry Glider were niceand crisp for the hot day!

Great service and great food. The Cajun fish tacos were probablysome of the best I have had. I like the crunchy shell inside the... soft tortilla, and the sauce they put on was very flavorful. I added a side of Bison chili, which was awesome. It had a touch ofheat that I really liked. The quac on the tacos really sealed the taste. Wife had the avocado chicken sandwich, which wasactually pretty plain, but she added my guac and said it was pretty great. The in house brewed beer were great as well. Woulddefinitely go back.
