Went here and the waitress was so rude put in drink order wrong 3 times then asked to take the food to go politely. The plates were all turned upside down in the bag. My side(greenbeans) was mixed into my meal making my fried shrimp soggy from the juice. $100.00 Meal and when the the waitress got her tip and it was not enough she became disgruntled and slammed the change on the table from the other customer with us. Absolutely the worst place to eat down here I will go to Ioannis next time they are really good . BTW the plate below was $28.00 just wow.

Fabulous! I tried On The Rocks when they first opened I guess it’s been five years ago. To be honest the quality and taste of the food was hit or miss over the first few years. I attended a wedding party dinner at On The Rocks last night… Well let me tell you they have got everything dialed in! The service was spectacular, the food was delicious! Everyone in our party of 16 absolutely enjoyed every single meal that was ordered! I highly recommend On The Rocks and will be dining here often! So convenient to Pine Knoll Shores and Atlantic Beach areas. Hats off to the owner and staff for great food and great service!!!!!! update 9-24-2022 back again after a fabulous experience. This time takeout… called in on a Saturday night . very politely and fast service on the phone . Order was ready in 20min as promised. Food was delicious. On the Rocks has been constant so far! Check them out!!!

We have been in Atlantic Beach for 4 days now, and have eaten at several local “hot spots”, some much more expensive than “On the Rocks”. This was by far the BEST meal and service we have had. Our waitress, Lisa, was very attentive and made great suggestions of dishes to try. The crab legs were PERFECTLY cooked, and absolutely delicious! The live music was also very entertaining. We will definitely dine here again!

Jordan was our waiter and he was fantastic. He was very friendly and attentive! We started with a house Chardonnay and a Hazy IPA. A little later I added a Jameson Pickle Back! My wife ordered the Shrimp platter grilled. The plate was full of shrimp ! I had the fried flounder platter. We both got baked potatoes, which were delicious! I got 2 nice fried fillets and gobbled the first one up because it was so fresh and good! I took my time on the second one! My wife had plenty of shrimp to take home. We were seated on the floor section. It is a very big area and it felt empty. We will come back and get a table more cozy. I will also take pictures of our meals.

It was a fun place to eat. I got the 26.00 pasta .but server was right. It was great. Fried pickles and the calamari were great too.

Overall not bad for randomly picking this place. They had live music which was fun, but made conversation a little hard when you get seating right next to the stage (we could have asked not to be there, that’s on us)

Ordered a large to-go order 5/06/2023. All the food was decent except for over HALF of the lettuce on 2.5 salads was rotten. See pic. Pretty unacceptable.

They do not take reservations, so if you have a party greater than 4 you will wait awhile. We had 10 and waited an hour and a half. Food was terrible. Over cooked and dry snapper, burnt burger, and cold scallops and beans. Waitress was nice. Live music was the best part. I would strongly recommend a different restaurant, even if it means driving a bit further. This is a family vacation spot, but this restaurant is not accommodating to families.
