      Great food and wonderful people! Pizza on the patio is a wonderful summer experience. Well worth the drive.

      If you have not tried this gem you need to! We heard about it from a co-worker so we gave it a try. We went in on 11/11 to celebrate my birthday...there was a wait obviously for being a Saturday night but boy was it worth it. We ordered drinks at the bar and sat at the chairs in front of the fireplace as we waited. Very cozy. We were seated in Emilee's section and from the beginning she was great. We tried the scotch eggs and OMG the flavor and how it was all incorporated together...I would not have expected that! I could have just ate those! My husband ordered the ribeye and I had the chicken pot pie. The ribeye was the best steak we have had since moving to Michigan three years ago. It was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. We were very impressed. The chicken pot pie had the best puff pastry crust and this buttery chicken filling. It was the perfect size and had great flavor! For your birthday you get a free dessert. We tried the chocolate cake. It was yummy...very rich. We will definitely be going back. We loved literally everything about this restaurant.

      We had a terrific experience here. Great food, staff & atmosphere. "Best filet i've had in awhile" and my tortilini had an excellent taste to it. The ceaser salads were also fantastic. I can't say enough good.
      In town for a long weekend and already said we'll be coming back just to try something else on the menu. We would've liked to sit on the patio but was told it's only open on the weekends right now 6/15/23

      We are so fortunate to live 10 min away. This is a five star restaurant. Everything is top notch, of course all the food, from the most complex entree in the dining room to the unique pizza on the outside patio. Thank Mike for the great management; he's a pro.
      It's a Michelin star restaurant without the price (3 stars average over $300 per person).
      When you go here, make sure you try the homemade soups and to-die-for desserts.

      Yelp forces you to give 1 star. Customer service here is terrible. Ever since they tried to have multiple concepts the place is going downhill. The Owner takes up space with his cronies sitting at the bar when paying customer have to wait hours to be seated. Food in the lower part clearly not working. It is empty on a Saturday night so people obviously don't want overpriced small plate options and the employees are just standing around because of zero customers. Take a pass on The Rock - it's now rolling downhill.

      Walleye and bluegill were both good. Atmosphere was nice lake casual. Pleasant, friendly service. Only complaint was the rice pilaf came fresh from the refrigerator and had not been heated.

      First visit to the Rock and we will be back, just knowing better what to order next time.
      Impressed by the menu, lot of great looking options and not knowing what they specialize in we just ordered what sounded good.
      Full bar and good beer selections.
      Ordered the Ruben eggrolls for an appetizer, two eggrolls for $8, good not sure if I'd order them again but no complaints.
      My husband ordered the fried chicken with fries and I got a full bacon spinach salad. The salad was nothing to brag about, it was not a hot bacon dressing it had no mushrooms and it wasn't already mixed together. I would not order it again. Although the half fried chicken was the right choice. The chicken was crispy, delicious and still juicy inside.
      Will go back and we will both get the fried chicken.
      Nice sized space inside, nice atmosphere, clean. Also had outdoor seating with a view of the lake.
      Our waitress was friendly and quick, no complaints on her service.
      I will review again next time and fully expect to give this place 4+ stars

      The food was great, and it did not take long for us to get seated. It was a bit pricey, but the portions were generous. They have a nice seated waiting area.
