T.J. Rockwell's American Grill & Tavern

Benjamin Hankinson (Bleeding Raindrops)

Pretty standard American Steakhouse, right next to Ashcombe's off of Williams Grove Rd. Simple, classic interior, casual atmosphere, and friendly staff. I was full from just the appetizer, which I ordered as the Pacific Nachos. Excellent sauce, which I expect from a steakhouse, and the fries were pretty respectable. I found the booth seating very uncomfortable. The backboard was fully vertical with no padding, which forced me to either slouch considerably, or lean my elbows on the table. Most of the other patrons had opted for the latter. Either way, I was unable to relax, and the stress prevented me from enjoying the meal. I'm told they are planning to replace the booths soon, but until then I am not eager to return.

Food was amazing, staff was super friendly and attentive. Ordered the beef brisket sandwich and was not disappointed. Only gripes I had was the table was sticky and something was dripping from the ceiling onto my wife. Not too bad but enough to startle her more than once.

Wife & I visited for the first time after being at the nursery next door. Bartender was very nice and friendly, food was good - thank goodness there were options for sides other than french fries. I had fish taco and wife had crab cake sandwich. Both meals were good and had large portions. Good selection of beers on tap. Wine menu was limited to Barefoot Cellars. Could do with a proper wine list. The restaurant has recently changed hands, so hopefully improvements are on the way. Will definitely revisit.

They have a large bar with a pretty good beer selection. The outside area is probably nice in the warmer months but we visited in February. The food was just ok, TBH. Crab cakes seem really full of filling but they were ok tasting. The rhino fries are large but felt they lacked flavor. French onion soup was ok, but again, lacked a bit of flavor. Wife liked her drink and the waitress was nice. Doubt we'll return to eat as the food just wasn't good enough. Would if I was looking for a bar to sit for a few.
