Excellent food, good service, and very tasty beer. Not a huge selection of beer, but what they have is very good. I partook in the sampler, and was impressed by all beers, especially the brown ale and pale ale. I tried a pint of their seasonal Cinco de Mayo...this was very good. Overall a great place. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the food and atmosphere. A bit pricey, but not too bad.

Great food at this place. Nice, slightly fancy restaurant feel. Great selection of food. Beer selection has both sessionable and heavier, interesting ales. The Brewmasters beer gets better every time I go there.

Typical suburban chain restaurant feel. Very clean. They had a nice selection of beer on tap. Mainly session-type stuff. The service was quick and attentive. Food was decent. Worth a stop if you are in the area.

Been to this location about 7 times as it is less than 5 minutes from my house. Typical RB design with standard RB beers and fare. The main 5 beers that are on the every day menu are decent but Brewmaster’s Specials are quite good. Can’t say I have had a bad beer at this location but nothing I would say is great. However, I do beleive Iain Wilson will produce some fine brews in the future as the beer gets better everytime I go. My favorite so far has beer the Naughty Scotch Ale. The food and service is quite good also. The wife likes the pretzel appetizer and I perfer the Chicken Enchilades and Fish Tacs. All in all it is a nice place to have a brew and beats the hell out of anything beer wise in Orland and Tinley Park.

First Rock Bottom I’ve been to. Decor was much like a Chilis or Ruby Tuesdays. We got great service and the food was quite good and the portions ample. Ordered their beer sampler which started with their version of light beer. Of the six, only the last two (a porter and a stout) were decent. Wanted to try their bourbon coffee stout but was told I was too late. The guy who waited on me knew enough about beer.

The fact that RB has a standard design for its new locations has led me to call the chain Applebee’s with better beer. That’s probably not quite right they do have a chef at each location, only I usually have an appetizer. The food may be much better than I know. Only drag on the Ambience is the fact that you’ve been here before if you’ve been to RB Yorktown. BUT the place does have brewmaster Iain, who has his own ideas about what to put on the taps, as does Pete downtown and Tim at Yorktown. My experience of the beer so far is just three, from a pale lager to a barrel-aged IPA, but he handles each extreme pretty well. Let’s just note that RB seems to have set this up pretty close to a brewpub with a poor reputation (Harrison’s), just as the Yorktown RB is near Taylor. Hmmm.

Went here during the height of the football season on a Sunday. Beers were really great, especially compared to the Rock Bottom in Warrenville. The food was good too. Service was prompt and friendly. A couple of beers that I wanted to try were out. All in all the experience was great especially considering the circumstances.

This is a wonderful restaurant with great service, knowledgable staff, a great brewmaster, and most importantly great beer and food. It is reasonably priced too. The beers are truly premier, and they always have a new one ready to be tapped.
