Rockit Burger Bar

Been there several times, I say their food and services are consistently OK, nothing too special!
The burgers I have try are very meaty and pretty thick but cant say anything special
The ambiance is upbeat, sport bar oriented with alot of TVs!
With all the TV, bar foods, beers and cocktails; there will be alot of ppl visiting, especially on game nights!

Not horrible. Not great. Just ok. Service is meh. Food is meh. Yeah, it’s fine. I’d go again, and I’d also be ok never going again. Is that bad?

Food is pretty good, but they haven’t nailed the service down yet. The wait time was crazy for our food and when it did come out, half of the plates were cold.
Sausage didn’t taste that great. The butter didn’t even melt on our toast. They also ran out of orange juice. For brunch.
Atmosphere is nice though and our server was friendly.

I’ve been here twice so I can say that their service is consistently good — welcoming, friendly and no nonsense. It’s next to Wrigley field so you have to be quick and attentive.
My only issue with coming here (I lived on Waveland Avenue for 8 years) is the potential of no available parking. So check the Cubs schedule or come in the winter time. :)
Both burgers I’ve tried have come out very meaty and thick and the fries could have been a little crispier but that’s not a deal breaker. The burgers are solid as my pics can attest.
The ambiance is upbeat and sports oriented with all of the flat screens and perfect for watching a few simultaneous games. I’ll make it a point to come back to try the rest of their burgers. I’m sure out of towners would love this place after a ball game.

I had really high expectations and they just weren’t met. I had the Mac n cheese burger and it was mediocre. Expect to spend $ 13-​$ 20/​pp

Rockit Burger Bar leaves a lot to be desired.
The food was «Mehh»… The service was OK. Their Bloody Mary bar is hardly a Bloody Mary bar with the mix already poured in the glass.
We had the Locavoire and the pretzel bun was chewy, the patty too thick and tough and the French Fries were OK.
For two people with one discounted drink it was $ 55. I would reserve my cabbage to go somewhere else.

Came here on a Wednesday night so it was slow and not very crowded. The burgers are delicious and the service was good but not awesome. I had the Locavore and my boyfriend had the mushroom burger not sure of the name. But we enjoyed our time, we will be back most likely if there is a game playing.

This place was less than average!
I came here for the first time with some friends before a CUBS game and I have to say that the service and food was extremely poor at best. According to one of the guys that was with us it was even that busy yet.
We got a table in the main room right away and grabbed some beers. After a few minutes the server eventually came by and took our order. Sine we had plenty time to look over the menu so we were pretty prepared to place our order.
We had a lot of time to catch up with each other as we waited at least 45 minutes before our server came by and told us that our food was on its way. I wasn’t starving but we did have a game to go to. The first beer that I ordered was the only beer that I had. If and when the server came by he was there and gone like a magician trick (now you see him, now you don’t).
The burger was average as you can imagine it was cold by the time that it came to the table. I wasn’t going to complain because as I mentioned before we had a game to catch and I wasn’t going to be the one to slow us down.
My take on this experience is that even if there is a game going on the day that you come here they should always be prepared by having enough servers, if that was the excuse. I don’t think that I would go back to this place if someone were to ask where to go for food.

I came here with my friend after he got a coupon from here. ThIs location is across the street from the stadium so I can imagine they get all a lot of people during games. Today was slow… i thought the place was empty until we were escorted to the back room. I was pleasantly surprised how amazing the burger options were and I was also very happy to get a beer flight. They had many different beer options and the service was good. I have been dreaming of going back here but it is a little far for me.

Went here last weekend for the Michigan-​UNLV game and I gotta say, there are a few issues with Rockit if it is in fact a Michigan bar.
First off, the game was only on select TVs (downstairs). We were seated before the game started and just assumed it would be on all the TVs after kickoff. Nope. We had to make a special request to get the game on the TV closest to us. A British-​sounding man with an ear piece, who I can only assume was a manager of sorts, would not put the sound on. Instead they favored us with some nifty club music. Who the hell wants to hear that at 11 a.m. When we made one last plea — much to the annoyance of our waitress — she told us if we wanted to hear the game we had to go upstairs. What? So, what you’re saying is only the upstairs is actually a Michigan bar? Garbage.
The second strike against this place is that they actually RAISE the prices of their specials on game days. The fancy Bloody Mary bar listed at $ 7 is actually $ 9. Same goes for all the specials. It’s like some kind of reverse-​special. I have only heard about places that raise their prices on game day in the first segment of Bar Rescue. I didn’t think it was a thing people actually did in real life.
Given the abundance and diversity of Michigan bars in Chicago (Matilda’s, Diag, West End, Duffy’s, Newport Bar & Grill, and Mullen’s, just to name a few), you’d think they wouldn’t gouge the fan base and alumni. Rockit is a bit on the pricey side, but given its Wrigleyville location, I suppose that’s to be expected.
I will give credit where it’s due, the breakfast burrito I got was good. For $ 12 it should be. Alas, one burrito is not enough to bring me back to this place.

Went here on Saturday with a friend, specifically for their Bloody Mary’s, which were included on a ranking list of best Bloody Mary’s in Chicago. Have to say that I was a little disappointed. The menu says that the Bloody Mary bar with garnishes is offered all day Saturday and Sunday, but when we arrived for early dinner, they had already closed it down. The waitress was super nice however and got us Bloody Mary’s with bacon, olives, and celery, but they were quite watered down.
For dinner, I had the Mac Attack burger. The Mac Attack burger is certainly a must-​try. But where they earned points for creativity and deliciously fried macaroni and cheese, they lost points for the hamburger patty, which was relatively thin and not particularly full of flavor. Overall, I’d say it was tasty though.
Overall, for 2 drinks and the burger, my bill was around $ 35. The staff was very friendly, and the bar is located near the Wrigley Field, so it’s convenient if you want to grab a few drinks and food before a game. I’d recommend this restaurant to friends to give it a try.

We were in the area and remembered that famous Rockit burger was near by the Wrigley Field Stadium.
We came here for an early dinner on a Friday night. It wasn’t busy and they were able to sit us in a booth by the window which was pretty cool as we enjoy people watching.
We had a server with a server in training both were pretty knowledgeable and friendly. When I checked in on Unilocal,we scored a free appetizer of onion rings. I would get the onion rings again and pay for it. We both liked it a lot the batter was not too thick and the onion rings were sweet and it came with a side of dipping sauce.
I ordered the Mac attack burger which seriously was two hockey puck size deep-​fried mac & cheese with a small size burger patty, lettuce and a tomato. I didn’t care much for this burger because I couldn’t eat the two Mac caddies with the meat so I ended up using my utensils to eat my burger. A side salad was ok it had attend the vinaigrette dressing. You didn’t have a choice of dressing. I wish that Patty was thicker and Mack and cheese a little thinner. I plan to order something different next time.
Hubby got the hallway of all Ranchero burger that came with seasoned curly fries. Is burger was pretty good nice thick caddy cooked slightly pink in the middle with an egg on top and us with a kick to it. It was plenty of seasoned curly fries hot and crispy was pretty good. He said he would order that again.
The beer menu was a pretty nice size, I like my angry orchard cider it was nice and cold. And hubby likes his beer too.
We didn’t want dessert however we were persuaded I’m getting a milkshake I ended up getting the Oreo milkshake to go it was pretty typical nothing too fancy to talk about it.
As we were watching the Cubs game on TV more people started to show up in the dining area can get pretty loud.
It’s a pretty nice place I see other people with their burgers and look pretty good. I’ll come back and try something else maybe sit outside and enjoy the Chicago weather.

This place is nice and the double cheeseburger is really good! Truffle oil tater tots are delicious, and my date got the Mac attack burger which he enjoyed very much.
Solid place to go for burgers but is a little overpriced. Located in Wrigleyville!

Not gonna lie, I’m kind of disappointed in this place. For a place right in front of Wrigley, the WOW factor just wasn’t there. Don’t get me wrong though, the food isn’t horrible, my expectations were just too high.
I was so excited to visit, I always see Anthony M’s pictures and they look so enticing! The burgers, the fries, the beer, all of it had me wanting to visit for months.
Finally one Saturday night we went. Considering it’s downtown, the place was kind of empty for a Friday night, which is pretty awesome!
Between four of us, we had (courtesy of
):
The Hottie — black angus patty, breaded stuffed jalapeños, habanero jack cheese, ghost pepper aioli, served with french fries. this baby is spicy!
Bacon Grilled Cheese Patty Melt — Double quarter pound black angus patties, swiss cheese, caramelized onions, bacon cheddar grilled cheese buns, served with a side of tater tots and tomato bisque.
The MacDaddy — black angus patty, braised beef short rib, mac and cheese, caramelized onions, served with french fries.
I liked the patty melt. I’m pretty sure I ate all of my friends tater tots. I love TOTS!
Their beer list is decent which is good for a beer lover like myself.
Our waitress was bad. There’s no other way of putting it. She had no clue what was going on. Like she had just got out of bed and hadn’t woken up yet. We dealt though, we didn’t even complain… at the time anyway.
I might give them a try again, if I’m ever down in Wrigley with no other option.

I finally got to try the much talked about burger at Rockit. I got the truffle burger and it was certainly a good burger. I didn’t enjoy the truffle fries as much and the burger was a little buttery and greasy for my preference.
One of my friends got the flatbread which was more like a pizza and was super cheesy.
We sat outside and got to enjoy some fireworks after the game.

3.5 stars overall.
Nice outdoor patio.
Friendly and attentive service.
Hottie burger was delish! Loved how the ghost pepper aioli just builds in your mouth but doesn’t overwhelm the burger itself.
Truffle fries are good, but I didn’t get the WOW factor.
Cheese and Mac bites app was just ok– batter was too thick and could be more gooey inside.

I came here for a birthday celebration dinner. It was many of us and we had a great waiter and even the chef came out to take a picture with the birthday girl! The Rock shrimp was so Delicious, it looks just as good as it tastes. Will definitely like to come back here. Thank you for a great time.

Came here after a Cubs game. We were all craving some good burgers, so it was pretty logical to just come down Clark to here. I have been here many times before to pregame, but never ate here. They have a large burger and beer menu! I got the Rockit Burger, it was burned and didn’t really have much flavor. Another one of my buddies got the farmhouse burger, and they said it was not bad. With our check in and burger purchase we got a free app $ 9 in value, we got the wings. They were solid. Overall the best thing about this place is the location, being so close to Wrigley is the only reason i might come here again. Its a shame because the food at the Rockit in River North was soo good, but this one falls short.

A big group of us grabbed dinner here on a Saturday before a show at the Public House Theater. Since we had a large group, they wouldn’t seat us until at least half of our group was there. We mainly came here to use a Groupon we had. It was $ 26 for two burgers and two flights of beer or whiskey. Tough to beat that deal. On top of that, Rockit was pretty cool and allowed us to use multiple Groupons for the same table. On top of that, they included a $ 10 gift card for each of us when they brought out our bill. Talk about going above and beyond expectations.
Food: They had a huge variety of burgers to choose from, everything ranging from a venison foie gras burger to a burger served on a glazed donut.
Breaded Mac and Cheese bites — The name says it all. They had a good crunchy outside and was still melty on the inside, and they came with a spicy sriracha ketchup. Solid start to the meal.
Locavore Burger — I got this burger because it seemed pretty unique to Chicago. It’s made up of ingredients local to the midwest. It had Goose Island beer battered onion rings, Nordic Creamery cheese, and Nueske bacon aioli. Usually with beer battered food I can’t really taste the beer, but the flavor of the Goose Island beer definitely came through in these onion rings. The burger itself was really juicy and the cheese+bacon+fried onion combo delivers once again. I should’ve thought to throw an egg on top of it to really step up the flavor.
Overall, I’d say the food was actually pretty good and not only were they not sticklers about the Groupon but they actually surprised us with an extra gift card for our next trip.

Obviously, by the name alone you know this place is going to have burgers; but, what you may not know is they’ve got some excellent flatbread pizza options, too. I got the Caramelized Onion and Brussel Sprout pizza, which was incredibly cheesy. Almost too much, so. But really, is it possible to really ever have too much cheese? Since my personal opinion is no, I just circumvented this ish with a Rockit Shandy cocktail, which was crisp and refreshing. The general beer menu isn’t bad, either.
I happen to come on Australia Day (read: a 4^th of July-​like celebration Down Under), and the Australian bar tender was a hoot, friendly, and provided enough Vegemite for burgers and pizzas. Talk about a unique experience!
