Chill atmosphere to enjoy some great BBQ!! Excellent thin sliced bbq beef brisket!! The pulled bbq chicken was good, a little dry but add some bbq and good to go! Great baby back ribs! The mac & cheese, mashed potatoes and fried yucca great sides! The service was excellent and very helpful!

It was a good lunch. But, it used to be way better. I woke up craving rocklands and I drove there to pick up some food for lunch. The beef rib was 50% fat. Not very good. The wings was mostly bones. Not meat. The sides were perfect.

Saw there were good reviews and decided to check it out for the first time. The food was good but the portion size was a bit small for the price. The jalapeño cornbread was an interesting take , surprisingly the flavors went well together but was a bit dry. I did get take out so by the time I ate my fries they were soggy. May stop by in person to eat to see if it’s better.

The pork ribs were amazingly tender and had a great flavor. The sides were great. Top notch BBQ.

Everything that i have ordered from this spot has been delicious. You would not be disappointed. I normally order the three meat platter, the grilled salmon salad, or the hot Italian sausage sandwich w/ peppers and onions on a pretzel roll. 10/10 would recommend.

Walk-up barbeque joint with lots of side options. I got the brisket, broccoli salad, and macaroni and cheese. There’s fresh bbq sauce, pickles, pickled onions and jalapenos, and tons of hot sauces and seasonings to choose from.

This was my first time trying Rocklands and I was very impressed. I’m more of a Texas-style BBQ guy and this was more Carolina style but DELICIOUS. I got the chicken and ribs combo for $16.99, and as you can see form the pic attached it was a generous portion that came with two sides. The chicken was moist and the skin was flavorful with some decent char. The ribs were also great and they’re quite large. Next time Ill try their mac and cheese as I’ve seen in several reviews that it is quite good.
