Rock Bottom Restaurant & Brewery

I really do like the food at Rock Bottom. The burgers are juicy and cooked just right, the wings have great flavor, and everything feels fresh and made with care. When it’s on point, it’s honestly some of the better brewery food in town. Tonight just wasn’t one of those nights. We were lucky and got seated right away, but after we ordered it took a full 40 minutes for the food to arrive. We had asked if things could come out as they were ready (hungry kids at the table), but everything still landed at once—and unfortunately it was all pretty lukewarm by the time it reached us. Cold fries and a cool burger take a lot of the joy out of a meal, even when you know it would have been delicious ten minutes earlier. Our server seemed swamped, and I’m guessing they were short-staffed because tables around us were experiencing the same long gaps. We didn’t get many check-ins, and when we mentioned the temperature she looked stressed and said the kitchen was backed up. I totally get it—busy Friday, thin staff, things happen. A quick “I’m really sorry, we’re doing our best tonight” would have gone a long way, but it felt like everyone was just in survival mode. All in all, it was one of those off nights that can happen anywhere. The food itself is still worth coming for, and on a smoother evening I’m sure we’d have left happy. Tonight just left us a little disappointed. We’ll probably give it another shot down the road and hope we catch them on a better day.

By far the best place in Warrenvilke/Naperville to eat! The food was phenomenal, our waitress was exceptional and very honest with her opinion of food and drinks. I highly recommend the salmon. The Carmel butter cake is a must have!! We wil be back.

Busy place. We had wine and flatbreads. A guitarist was playing which added a nice vibe.
