    Possibly worst burger I ever had, almost $20, unseasoned, not big, quite disgraceful. Good beer selection though. Would only return if it was induced at gunpoint.

    Went for a burger today (Monday) and it was the $10 special. Burger was ok, but the service was unpleasant. Waiter (Brian C) had an attitude after calling him out for padding the check. Why 2 stars? After several misleading conversations with the waiter, I asked for the mgr. The owner (Marc) came out instead. He was very good at handling the situation and even offered to give me and my friend some homemade rum cake that his Mom made. At this point, our waiter made me so mad that I left this place with no cake (sorry Marc) and Brian C with no tip. FYI- I was a waiter and bartender and always leave at leave 25% to 35%.

    Fav burger spot in FL!! This place is one of the reasons why I moved down here from NY! All of their burgers are juicy and delicious. You can taste the quality of the meat, buns and freshness of the toppings. Love the fries and spicy mayo sauce too! I would eat here every day if I could!!

    Been to this self-declared gastropub many a time. While I wouldn't say that its one of the best places around, it definitely is a place to get a good burger. I like the decor although it is a little tight when it starts to fill up. The menu is decent with some good specials, although I find that my burgers are habitually slightly overdone. They do have a good beer selection On this particular visit, my friend and I shared the Pork Belly Sliders and the Bacon Jam Sliders, with a side of a trio of fries (we got sweet potato and truffle). The Pork Belly was by far the best thing that I have had from here since it opened. The sliders were loaded with a generous chunk of tasty, dripping, fatty pork belly that was delectible and full of flavor without being "greasy." The Bacon Jam sliders are an item which I have had in the past. The sweet smokey flavor of the bacon jam matches up well with the bitter creaminess of the slice of brie that is melted on top. The sweet potato fries are always good here, fried to perfection. I wish that they would provide something other than ketchup to accompany them though. Maple Syrup or a sweet sauce of some sort would go well. The truffle fries are always good, but are extremely rich and salty. Not one of my favorites, but my friend loved them. I would say that it is a personal preference more than a comment on the actual quality of the fries. All in all, not a bad joint, but maybe a little overpriced for the actual quality of the product that you get. I am enjoying it a little bit more each time I come here. Who knows, maybe I'll bump it up a start in a while.

    ROK:BRGR is the truth! I was vacationing in Fort Lauderdale and I decided to eat there for dinner after seeing it on a couple blogs and some good reviews here on Yelp. I ordered the Lobster Corn Dogs which were good and Surf and Turf Burger which was amazing! The food, service and atmosphere was on-point! I recommend ROK:BRGR and you can check out my full review and pictures at my blog DjSkillz.com

    We picked ROK:BRGR for lunch and to watch some football on 12/18/11. We were on a day layover after a cruise from Ft. Lauderdale and our handy Yelp search pointed us here. Nice call, Yelpers, nice call. Advertised and a "Burger Bar + Gastropub", we figured we be getting gourmet burgers in a contemporary, upscale atmosphere and that pretty much describes our visit. Throw in one of the nicest, genuinely sincere bartenders (Paige you rock!) I've ever had, good HD TV's and a nice selection of bottled beers and we were very happy we decided to tromp over from the Riverside Hotel. FOOD: After spending 8 days on a cruise ship, we both knew we wanted a big, fat juicy burger so we spent considerable time looking at that part of the menu. The burger menu consists of two sections: Signature Burgers and the Burger Bar. There has to be at least 15 Signature Burgers. While the beef selections are all Certified Angus, there are also kobe, chicken, lamb and tuna versions. There is both a variety of styles and there seems to be a focus on unique and quality ingredients. Though I live in NC today, I'm a native New Mexican and will basically jump at any chance to have poblano peppers on a burger so the Southwestern screamed my name. Along with the poblanos, this patty comes with jalapeño jack cheese and chipotle ketchup. The girlfriend made up some concoction via the Burger Bar which allows you your choice of meat, bun, cheeses, grilled items, veggies, fancy add-ons (called "burger bling"...loved that!) and sauces. I forget what her specific choices were but she did include the poblanos because we were both impressed with their heat and flavor. I ordered my burger medium rare (which in NC is hard to get in restaurants) and the monster that came out was cooked perfectly. To even attack it I had to cut in half and it was hot and juicy. Her's was ordered medium and it was spot on, as well. Both of us were very impressed with the flavors. As I mentioned, the poblano's were excellent; some of the best I've had on the East Coast. I also went big on the fries and got the truffle fries. Like the burgers they were very well prepared and there was no skimping on the truffle oil so if that's not your thing - be prepared. The rest of the menu consists of Snacks/Bar Bites - about a dozen interesting and unique appetizers (i.e. kobe hot dogs, lobster corn dogs, fried pickles and mac-n-cheese with gruyere cheese); Fries/Rings - about a half-dozen choices; Salads; a Pub Grub section and Desserts. One last note: there is a lot of beer to choose from here but only about 5 or 6 on tap. It would have been really nice to see about twice that many including Florida micro's, etc. Overall I give 4.5 stars for Food. SERVICE: Our server/bartender, Paige, was excellent. She greeted us as soon as we walked in with a cheery smile and made us feel welcome right away. She helped us with the menu making suggestions along the way. Once she found out we were on vacation she took the time to ask about where were from and about our travels and was genuinely friendly and engaged. At one point, she made a drink for another couple to try and make extras for us "because you are on vacation" - very cool. One other thing that I was a big fan of: the manager was on the floor the whole time interacting with staff and customers and helping out. 5 stars for our service. VALUE: The Signature Burgers are mostly in the $11 - $13 range with the top items coming in at around $16. The Burger Bar prices depend on your creation. For example, Angus patty $12 + cheese $1.5 each + grill items $1 each + veggies + 50 cent + "bling" $1 or $2 + sauces 50 cents. Go as minimal or crazy as you like! The apps are in the $6 to $14 range, fries/rings are about $7 and the pub grub in the $8 to $14 area. I'm going to guess this is the ballpark for Ft Lauderdale gastropub price points but based on the quality and size I experienced definitely not horrible. 3.5 stars for Value. Atmosphere: Clean, polished, upscale contemporary look done in lots of dark colors but with enough airiness to balance it out. If you enjoy the smoky, dive bar ROK:BRGR might not be your thing but it is a very nice but still casual place to enjoy some good food. 4 stars for Atmosphere. Overall, this was a very enjoyable afternoon for us. The burgers (including the choices) were great and the service awesome. For the value we got, the tab was more than reasonable. Will definitely be back if I'm back in Ft Lauderdale.

    This will be a short review. Service was ok. Food was ok. Ambiance was ok. Location is Fantastic. That's about it, nothing really was outstanding about this place. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit here, but that shouldn't keep you from trying it. The fries with the cheese curds and gravy are worth a try, just to say, " Yeah I had them." Stay Hungry!

    Great food, great service and great atmosphere. I loved everything I tried at Rok Brgr, from the spinach and artichoke dip to my veggie burger with sweet potato fries. Everything tasted fresh and the flavor was fantastic. The only reason I give them a 4 instead of a full 5 star is due to their prices - a bit steep for what they're serving up and in such a small establishment. But I understood I was paying for the location so I didn't complain. Also I'm a vegetarian so I can't speak for their beef burgers but my boyfriend wasn't a fan - the patties were so large it felt less like a burger and more like a meatloaf between bread slices. Guess it's a matter of preference. Overall I will definitely return to Rok Brgr.

    One of my top 3 favorite burger joints. Their burgers are excellent. And despite the fact that the burgers are large, you can actually finish them without feeling that you are a pig. The ambiance is nice. Also, the onion rings were great. Would definitely come back here if I am in the area.

    Came on a Monday for a 10.00 burger. Was dismayed to find out that I couldn't get a turkey burger for 10.00, only a beef burger. Pretty crappy if you ask me. I ended up building my own burger. Paying 50cents for garlic mayo that was super thin is a bit ridiculous. The female server had a huge attitude too. Wont be back again.

    Really nice juicy burgers! Try the sweet potato fries! It gets really busy here so there might be a wait and as always in Las Olas, parking is available on the street or at a nearby garage. After a show at Revolution, I love that it's right around the corner and I can get some quality food.

  • Michele B.

    My second time here, and both times not amazed. It has potential, the menu items are creative but not translated to the plate. On my recent trip here for a friends birthday on a busy Saturday night, they were out of many menu items. The service was subpar even after some tables cleared out. I ordered the Roxberry to drink and the first was perfect, the 2nd they missed two of the drink parts (fresh blueberries and basil). Not a place I'd go out of my way to eat at.

    Service is great. Note they only make the burger medium. Love the food we had but wait time is a bit long due to the location and good food. Best to sit inside as outside could get a bit crazy at certain times.

  • Laurel W.

    Found this place (Thanks to yelp!) when we were in Fort Lauderdale for the day. My go-to with any burger is a standard lettuce-tomato-onion-pickle-cheese-mustard. Nothing fancy. But the options on the menu looked so tempting that I defied my comfort zone and went for bacon and brie. It was awesome - and huge! I upgraded to sweet potato fries, which are served in a generous portion and are obviously hand cut. So yummy. We probably could have shared a plate, since the portions are so large. My only gripe would be that visually, the restaurant appears to be going for a trendy, modern feel, but that vibe was killed by the incongruous blasting of 1970's flashback rock.

    Alright, so it's been a while since my first visits that got them great reviews and I thought it was time for an update. The place just started going down hill for me. The original bar tender we liked went away and were replaced by a few inexperienced ones. Their attitudes became annoying when it came to making changes to burgers. I understand that if there's burger deals going on that you shouldn't be allowed to tweak the burgers but why on EARTH is it a big deal to remove onions or just change out the bread? What's the big deal with changing the bread? Are the burgers just sitting in the back premade or something? There are people who don't want sesame seed buns (or can't eat them because of allergies) so for these people who make a request, just do it. It's just bread. Last time I went the bacon on my burger wasn't that great so it was a let down. I think that Charm City's bacon spoiled me a bit. Still a place to get a pretty good burger with some nice fries, though. Especially if it's Monday and the burgers are cheap.

    I am a regular at this place! I love the food! A few weeks ago I tried the King James Burger and being a foodie I don't normally say this, but in my opinion, it is the best hamburger I have ever had in my life! Everyone that works there is very friendly and service oriented especially Kelly, my favorite bartender! I was however very, very disappointed that they took my favorite dessert off of the menu! That would be the brownie dessert! Very very disappointed about that! For the hell of it I tried the new chocolate peanut butter cookie dessert and I was very disappointed with that replacement, a very poor choice by management! I hope this is not the start of a slide in the menu! The reason why I only gave them four stars instead of five is because they removed my favorite dessert.

    Ok I just had the Morning Glory for lunch and I think I have Morning Wood. This burger is amazing! A fried egg on any burger or sandwich is always a treat, however an egg with the hicokory smoked bacon was incredible. I ordered it Medium Rare - Rare and it came pink and juicy. Definitely big enough to share, I barely touched my fries after eating this monster... Sad to see the 50% Burgers on Wednesdays promotion is over though.

    Amazing burgers! Best one I've had as a matter of fact. King James burger features Brie cheese, roasted pork belly, truffle aioli on brioche. Let me tell you, burgers are not my most favorite eats, but this beauty changed my mind for ever! It is juicy, tender and flavorful. The portions are large and prices reasonable. This place has turned me into a regular, I think I'll try the bacon jam burger next time I go.

    Had the pleasure of visiting this establishment just last night. $10 Burgers on Monday night. You cannot, let me repeat myself, cannot go wrong with this place. First of all. The hostess was very very nice. The waitstaff great also. The food topnotch. We only had burgers, but let me tell you. If you're in Fort Lauderdale do not miss this place. I'm from NY so the food up North is very good also. The burgers were cooked spot on. Med as we like them. Fries were good, not greasy at all. we also had the fried pickles. First time ever, again very good. I had the Cuban burger excellent. All in all very satisfied with this place. Do not miss it when you're in town.

    After I left ROK:BRGER last night, it has become clear to me that this is one of the best restaurants in Miami. There has been a slight buzz in town about ROK:BRGER. So naturally, I had to check this place out! My first step in I felt welcomed. Hostess was very friendly while greeting my boyfriend and I. The atmosphere was warm, lighting was set perfectly, and the music was on the right tone. We sat at the bar, and our bartender, Jesse, who was amazing by the way, immediately made us feel at home. He gave us the low down on the menu. Told us what to try. And of course, we listened. What he suggested and what we tried: For appetizers we had the LOBSTER CORN DOGS and the LOBSTER MAC N' CHEESE. The corn dogs were highly pleasing and the honey mustard sauce was luscious. Yes, I typed luscious. Lets just say I'll dip anything into their honey mustard sauce. It was that good! The lobster Mac N' Cheese was STELLAR. Very light and fluffy. My boyfriend and I almost licked it right of the plate :) For our entrees we created our own burgers from the Burger Bar list. I created a turkey on wheat, with Jack cheese, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms and sprouts. Along side with the ROK and WASABI SAUCE. I'd like to call that my little tasty creation. My only complaint was that the wheat bun was too small for the whole package. Other than that, it was still AMAZING! For our grand finale, or should I say dessert, we had the Bread Pudding. The Bread Pudding itself was moist, rich, and sweet. Topped with vanilla ice cream and raspberry sauce. Let's just say it was so good that there are no words to explain how amazing it was. My boyfriend and I couldn't even finish it because of this overwhelming feeling of our taste buds just going BANANAS :) And plus we were full. My overall experience was great and I will be coming back. And yes, I do agree with the other critics on some of the items being bit pricey. Although, if you have the bucks to spend, why not live a little? If you don't understand the concept of dining out, and you're not willing to spend a couple of dollars on the "experience," then this isn't the place for you! Just consider staying home and ordering in cheap Chinese food if going to complain. Better yet, go to OUTBACK across the street. I'm sure you're going to get great quality food for a great price :)

    Amazing! Came here for drinks and apps with my husband on a rainy day. The place is super cozy and edgy at the same time. The threesome appetizer is unbelievable! We didnt have any burgers but they all looked delicious. The menu is creative and reasonably priced. The drink menu is impressive and the cocktails we had were perfect! We will return for sure when we visit sunny Ft Lauderdale again.

    I was REALLY excited to try this place after a) living on a ship for four months and not having decent food and b) hearing so many rave reviews from locals. So we met some friends there, dined alfresco, and ate our way through the menu. First of all, Rok:Brgr has a really great menu of beers. I sampled a couple IPAs that were delicious, as were the cocktails (the coconut mojito and pomegranate martini, in particular). We all shared the loaded tater tots to start--a heart attack on a plate, but tasty nonetheless--and then I had a classic cheeseburger and sweet potato fries as my main. The fries were delicious; it was the burger that was lacking. The meat itself was so salty, I couldn't even finish half of it. The same happened to my husband, who had the signature burger, and our friend, who had the Volcano burger, so it seemed to be how they prepared the meat. This was such a bummer, as the burgers all looked mouthwatering--and if they'd just seasoned the meat properly, I'm sure they would have been to die for. Overall: I'd give it a 3.5. If you're going for the other dishes, the drinks and the atmosphere, Rok:Brgr is a winner. But the main event--the burgers--left much to be desired.

    I would have given them full five stars if the blue cheese burger had been great. The lobster corn dogs were just okay too . I am not sure why people are going crazy about them. The wait to get our drinks was a little too long too. So overall my experience was quite mediocre. Also, the fact that there is no parking in front, and I had to pay ten dollars to just eat at the place kinda pissed me off too

    We have been here a handful of times and while I'm not really a fan of hamburgers, hubby is - which is one of the reasons that we come here. The other reason is the truffle fries, which are excellent. The first time we ate here, hubby ordered the classic burger. It was very thick and juicy and while he said it was tasty, he thought it was a bit too thick (he's weird that way). We ordered the threesome of hand cut, sweet potato and truffle fries -all of which were good - but the truffle fries were spectacular. We could have just had a huge plate of those and been satisfied. I ordered the beet and goat cheese salad with grilled chicken and was very happy - my crisp greens and juicy chicken were both dressed lightly in a tasty passion truffle vinaigrette, and there was plenty of goat cheese as well. We have also had the Kobe beef sliders which were really yummy - the perfect size for a light meal and less thick than their regular burgers, which suited hubby just fine - as well as the veggie burger - which was a bright red affair that was actually quite tasty - despite the fact that I wasn't sure what veggies my meal was actually comprised of! Rok Brgr is open late and the perfect place to stop for a bite after the bar or a show. We will be back soon - as a lamb lover, I really want to try their lamb burger the next time we go.

    Unfortunately they got rid of the option for you to build your own burger. They also told me I can't sub a veggie burger patty for the beef ( even if I offered to pay extra) on any of the burger options. So if you don't eat meat, you have to get the veggie burger the way they serve it or you're out of luck.

    The King James burger was excellent, and they accommodated my gluten free needs by serving with no bun. A lettuce wrap adds $1 for a shell of iceberg lettuce, as one of my friends discovered. The side salad was also iceberg, which is always disappointing. You never want an elementary school lunch salad of iceberg, carrots and tomatoes as the "house salad", and as a $2 up charge for subbing for fries I'd expect more. I'm glad we were here on a Monday, because they had a $10 any burger special. The $12 for my burger and salad was a fine price for what I got. If it had been $17 (normal price) I would have been more dissatisfied.

    I'll be honest. I literally have NO recollection of what burger I ate at Rok:Brgr -- not because of the stiff drinks, but because I inhaled that delicious patty at the speed of sound. Well almost at the speed of sound - I believe a loud GULP was heard at some point during the carnage. Sweet potato fries - YUM! Margaritas - YUM! Everything - YUM! Service - good, not great. Seat closest to the door? Cold, not awesome.

    Fantastic burgers. Burgers so juicy you don't even need condiments. The fries are double fried, so every one is perfectly crisp. They use high quality ingredients. The appetizer menu looks very good. The Waitresses are also very good, but their sexy uniforms were wasted on me. I brought my dogs and sat outside. It was a lovely experience. One word of caution. If you order your burger medium-well, you'll get medium-rare. If you order medium (like I did) you get RARE! Asking them to cook the burger more doesn't work as they throw the entire sandwich into the microwave instead of reheating the meat on the grill. I know this because I got the morning glory burger and my egg was perfectly runny before, but hard as a rock upon return. The good news is they took this sandwich off of my check and gave me the burger to take home (because everyone was finished eating by then). I got home and even after they had reheated the burger, it was still bloody red so I heated it properly. I LOVED the taste afterward, so I gave Rok:Brgr four stars instead of 2 or 3. Just adjust your temperature request accordingly and you'll be very happy with the place. I will return, but I'll ask for well done. I also like Rock and Roll music, but expect to not know any of the artists (probably not copyrighted), and sit away from the speakers if that kind of thing bothers you. Expect to spend between $20 and $25 per person for lunch (including tax and tip with no appetizers).

    Found this on Yelp as a hot item. Very cool. A gastropub located near the workplace. The menu is very promising. Lots of good choices in terms of pre-designed burgers. And of course, you have the option of building your own. But the menu had a host of other items that competed for my attention instead of going for the burger. But I went with the Las Olas burger. It could have been great but for one unforgivable mistake for any burger joint--they overcooked the burger. You just can never do that. I will definitely try the place again because it has a ton of potential. The vibe is right and the fries were great. As an update, I went a second time. I had the classic burger but substituted the American yellow cheese with aged cheddar. The burger was cooked right this time. The burgers are okay, but it has a ton of competition in South Florida, which offer better burgers. But this place should do well given the location and not much competition. Plus, it does have a cool, neighborhood bar feel.

    I wasn't planning on going to Rok:Brgr for lunch, but after seeing a few colleagues having drinks out on their patio, I decided to stop in and give it a try. I had a Turkey Burger with Fries. Both portions were very generous, and the turkey burger was extremely well seasoned (turkey burgers can easily be quite bland). I sat at the bar where I was greeted by a very friendly bartender who was attentive throughout my entire visit. I must also recommend their happy hour special, where it seems everything behind the bar is 50% off!

    So....it looked promising and we had high hopes. I realize that this place specializes in actual burgers using meat, so when the veggie burger fell flat-I didn't think anything of it because I actually expect it from places like this and it doesn't bother me. So the prices are relatively friendly given the location and the amount of food you get. The hostess at the front was actually far more friendly than the waitress, she stopped by every now and then but always seemed rushed, etc. We ordered an appetizer and our burgers came out first so we cancelled the app (because those are usually eaten first)-the waitress seemed annoyed by us because we cancelled it. (tough luck!). The real kicker was that the manager (we believe) said, oh sorry about the mixup or whatever we would like to get you a dessert. So, we picked the brownie with ice cream. I mean this is a safe bet and you can't go wrong with this choice, right? WRONG-this was by far the worst brownie I ever ate. I wanted to ask them if they tried it before serving it to people? How can you mess up a brownie, seriously. I really wanted to love this place. The 1 star is for the ambiance-cool location and good vibes but the food just falls flat.

    I was genuinely surprised and please with my experience here last night. A friend and I wanted to meet for dinner before geeking out seeing Tron 3D at the IMAX, and I discovered a new burger place had opened in the Himarshee district. Who'd have guessed that a great little place would have opened up amidst what's mostly a bunch of annoying bars...The look is a little derivative of another, more southerly burger purveyor, but that's hardly surprising and I took that in the sense of it being the "most sincere form of flattery." They've got a huge variety of custom burgers (including turkey, chicken, and veggie options), plus lots of other items if you're not burger-inclined. The food prices aren't too high and if you get there before 8:00pm the drinks are decently priced as well. And would you believe they've got poutine on the menu???? I wasn't quite ready to try that, but was impressed to see it, nonetheless. I went with their turkey burger, which had arugula, tomato, a homemade avocado aioli and baby Swiss (subbed it out for cheddar). It included a small side of French fries and I enjoyed the whole dish immensely. Give them a try if you're in that neck of the woods!

  • J. H.

    I have to start of by saying that I LOVE the food here. The burgers are some of the best a foodie from Chicago can find down her in South Florida and as other reviewers have commented...the truffle fries are amazing. For what you get, it is a little pricey. They have South Beach prices in Fort Lauderdale and their price was the first reason I second guessed going back a third time. Now that bad -- Do NOT use a Credit card here! Again PAY CASH ONLY. You have been warned. I now know of 5 people who have had their credit card information stolen after using their credit or debit card here (me included). Too much evidence to go into here, but conclusion...someone at Rok Burger stole our credit/debit card information and the more I hear about it, the more I believe Management not only knows this is going on, but is involved. I saw them swipe my card and hand it back to me behind the bar, so someone is collecting data from the credit processing unit. We have filed many police reports against them and nothing has happened yet. If this has happened to anyone else and you need another victim to help get an investigation going, please contact me....I know of 4 others and myself who have been victims here. Very unfortunate because the food is great, but I will not go back to support this business who has to be aware of what is going on here.

    Rok Brgr is a really cool spot to go and chill with some friends. The atmosphere is super cool and all of the details of this restaurant really create a very rustic feel. The food presentation was awesome. The menu is stacked with some great every type of burger combination you could possibly want also with a option to make your own for those of you creative people! I loved the option to forgo the bread and have your burger wrapped in lettuce. Being a Canadian myself I can't help but be excited about the "Canadian Fries" or Poutine that's on the menu! Although most would have ordered a beer with their burger as they have a variety of different choices. I couldn't help but try the pomegranate martini, and it was delicious!! I also quite the salad lover and really enjoyed the chopped salad however next time I would definitely ask for the dressing on the side as it was a little too much. Overall if you love hamburgers and fries this is a great place to check out with some friends! I will for sure be visiting again soon!

    Came in here on a Wednesday night and was blown away by everything I ordered, from the signature cocktails to the burgers. We started out with the deviled eggs as an appetizer which were by far the best I have ever had (a must order again for next time). When it came to choosing my meal I was torn between the pork belly grilled cheese and the King James burger but (finally) decided that on my first visit, I would have to go with a burger and I am so glad that I did!!! It was cooked to perfection and I found myself finishing the whole thing despite how full I was. Can't wait to come back and try some of the other items on the menu!

    I had been wanting to try this place for a while and finally got the chance and was very disappointed... I ordered the rok brgr and it was completely raw in the middle and absurdly over cooked on the outside... not to mention that the bacon that was on top was completely burnt and was very off putting... the only positive I can say was that the service was good and the tator tot were delicious but when someone goes to a burger place they expect a great burger... overall just disappointed

    Had the Morning Glory Burger, DELICIOUS. Sweet potato fries are mediocre, not worth $7.

    The place was not busy when my friend and I walked up around 6:15 pm on a Thursday night. We were seated immediately, but that's where the efficiency ends. From the time we ordered until the time we received our burgers, an hour and ten minutes had passed. During that time, our drink glasses were empty for at least 20 minutes. Our burgers FINALLY arrived, but they were undercooked. We ordered them medium and they came back rare (mushy pink in the middle). We had waited so long that we ate them anyway, though I was kind of grossed out by all the blood colored juices running from my burger. (I only ate half my burger). Once we received our food, the waitress wouldn't leave us alone! Where was she when our glasses were empty for 20 minutes? All in all, the entire visit took two hours from the time we sat down until the time we left. Bad service, undercooked food and overpriced drinks.

    As the Burgermaven and Yelp contributor I have been to this place only once. I was duly impressed. It was a very quiet time so I have no knowledge of arriving when the crowds are out the door. But the burgers we had were perfect. Cooked exactly as ordered and heavy on the toppings. One bite and I said this might be decent competition for Le Tub in Hollywood. yes Kuma's in Chicago is great; and bob cat bite in Santa Fe is terrific but if in Ft. Lauderdale this is definitely a try. Check on special nights when burgers are 1/2 price. The Burgermaven

    Let's keep this simple folks... Burgers- Delicious, customizable slabs of heavenly tasting cows. (Thank you bovine friend for letting me put ketchup on you.) Fries- Crispy, well flavored. Surprisingly good. Onion rings- Skip them. No really, they weren't that good. As my significant other said, "too much onion, not enough ring". He couldn't have said it better. Lobster mac and cheese- Not bad. Big chunks of lobster and ooey, gooey cheese. It tasted like it was missing something though. Staff- Friendly and attentive. Decor- Bar meets steak house, meets 1940s Fort Lauderdale, meets HGTV make over. All in all, a great place to eat.

    I don't care how good the food is. If the service is HORRIBLE, so is your restaurant. Did not appreaciate the bass pumping music at 7pm, a little early to have my ear drums blown. Waited 10 min for a server to recognize us after we asked three times for help. Waited another 15 min for a drink from the bar. Came here on a glowing review and it blows. Will not be back! I would haave preferred wendys. Also ordered the fries and got a cup of burnt 1/4 inch french fry ends. Beware Oh yeah, burger tasted like it was cooked on a dirty grill. BLAH. Couldn't get out soon enough.

    So I went to this place the night before burger bash to try one of their " award winning burgers". The only thing award winning about my meal was an " award for the worst food poisoning I have ever had in life" when I mentioned to a friend who is familiar with the place what their food has done to me he said "yea you are not the first person I know that got food poisoning there" and... " they have a really dirty kitchen and staff". Steer clean of "Rat Burger" at all cost unless you want to know the true pain and discomfort of food poisoning.

    I've had numerous lunch meeting here, lucky me. Love the food. Nice variety of burgers and fare overall... The last visit I had some spicy burger concoction that had an egg on top, SCORE! The lobster corn dogs (yeah, that's not a typo) were a hit. Lobster or truffle mac-n-cheese is a hit, too. I love the craft beer selection and the fact that they have full liquor. The staff is hot and attractive and friendly and fun to watch, but not always the most efficient. Great food is all that I care about, so give it a whirl.

    I posted a tip as I was walking out of this place, but I continue to be annoyed that I ate here every time I look at my bank statement. So here I am. Where to begin... A friend chose this place for her birthday dinner. We had a reservation for 10 at 5 pm on Sunday. We were told that there were no tables available and to wait a few minutes. So, we all stood around like boobs, sweating on the sidewalk. 15 minutes later we sent one of the guys in to ask if we could sit yet. Nope, the people were still eating. We go back to peek and it' s group of people with their feet up on the booths - and a completely bussed table - watching the soccer game. There was another set of tables right across from that one that was vacant, but I suppose it didn't occur to the staff to push the tables together and seat us. We continued to wait until 5:35 when we decided enough was enough and sat ourselves (2 members of our party had somewhere to be at 7). The service, ah. Well, our faintly mustachioed shrew of a waitress scowled and screwed up orders pretty consistently through out the entire meal. Couldn't get beer orders right, loaded my husband's burger with items he specifically asked not be on it - he even joked with her about his special order - to no avail. I was drinking water. Never once got a refill. By the end of the meal I was begging sips of water off my friends. Then, we get the bill and find out that the sub for fries we asked for were an additional $4 on top of the meal - each. Mustache had not mentioned this when we asked her about subbing. Add to that, she included a gratuity. Yep, now I know why she didn't give a rats ass about providing decent service. The burgers were decent, the truffle fries devine. The service appalling and disorganized. If the owners of this joint want to see how to properly run a "gastropub" I suggest they visit Grease up in Palm Beach County.

    Rok: Brgr, home of the tasty juicy burger, is a gastropub located amongst the downtown Fort Lauderdale bar scene. Some might say what is a gastropub and quite frankly I am still unclear on the definition, but what I do know is Rok serves great food with great choice of alcoholic beverages. Arriving with a friend in the twilight of night, the place was jamming with hungry drunk people. Even with all these people in the joint and our waitress completely overwhelmed, she managed to give us fantastic, personable service. She gave wonderful recommendations with the Las Olas Burger and the Lychee Martini. Wow, the Las Olas Burger was one juicy, ginormous burger. The meat was quality and the complimentary vegetables and sauce was spot on. The french fries were exquisite with perfect seasoning. Lastly, the Lychee Martini was a sweet, light delight that anyone could drink all day. With a number of late night eateries in the downtown Fort lauderdale area, Rok stands above them all.

  • Frank E.

    So I came here after hearing it was rated the "#1 Burger in South Florida" .... and "Burger Beast Approved"... so I decided to get the Rok:Brgr, figure since it has the same name as the place it must be good right? Boy was I dissapointed, first $1.50 upcharge for changing cheese? Whatever... then I got my burger and it just was not that great... I had asked for it medium well and it was bleeding all over my plate so I am fairly certain it was barely medium... the lettuce and tomato seemed old and soggy, the onions were tasteless (how?!) and the bourbon bbq sauce seemed like it was seperating, it was thin at first and then got thicker and thicker as I went along... The fries were also pretty bad... just didn't like them at all... Service was good though, guy was attentive even though it was pretty busy... and their alcoholic vodka sweet tea drink was also really good... so maybe its just the food that sucks here... Finally this is probably the 3rd or 4th "Burger Beast" approved place I have gone to where the burgers are mediocre at best, so I am pretty sure that his seal of approval is meaningless unfortunately

    After a long day of shopping and bars, we found ourselves wandering this area with a craving for burgers. It was 11:00 p.m. on a Sunday night, so Rok:Brgr gets immediate bonus points for being the only place we could find that still had their kitchen open. It was pretty dead inside, but the windows and doors were wide open and we found the ambiance quite enjoyable. We sat at the bar and got great service from the bartender. As a beer enthusiast, I was very impressed with the selection of brews. My wife ordered a burger and it was fantastic. Thick and juicy. I ordered the BLT and it was not very good. The bread and the bacon were both quite dry, which not only crippled the flavor, but also made it quite hard to eat. I can't say I'm too upset though - when you go to a place that has Brgr in the name, you should probably order a burger. Especially at 11:00 on a Sunday night. Docking one star becuase of the BLT and because it might have been a bit overpriced. But all in all, it was a wonderful way to cap off our long day in Ft. Lauderdale.

    On the night of the recent "Super Moon", my buddy, Anthony C. of Yelp fame and I decided to wash the moon down with some beers and a burger at Rok:Brgr. We've been walking a fine line lately between hipster and overkill when it comes to Gastropubs. Remember when Ed Hardy was cool and expensive? Hell, even Tommy Hilfiger was. Let's hope that as the guaranteed rush of Gastropubs hits us hard, especially in the trendy neighborhoods, that they remember to keep it simple and basic. Good drinks, cozy seating with easy-on-the-eyes lighting, and simple foods we all know but are amplified and redressed for our 21st Century foodie mentalities. Rok:Brgr is on the right track and, on my night there, did it just right. There was no table seating to be had this evening which is frustrating when you want to sit down and have fun face-to-face chit chat, but is also a good indicator that a lot of people are liking what's going on here. We grabbed two seats at the bar which was well stocked , clean and equipped with a few hot bartenders. (both lady and gent...something for everyone!). We started out with "Primo's Meatballs" and some truffle fries. Both hit the spot and got our juices flowing for a burger raping. Truffle dishes tend to overkill the truffle, but in this case, I would have liked 30% more truffle flavoring on the fries. I went with the "Australian" burger, which included a bun that was too big (we'll get to that in a bit), grilled pineapple, a fried egg (so hipstery), arugula and "roasted" beets. The meat was delicious (certified black angus beef from Grand Hills, NE) and the goo of the egg always makes for a great condiment. I guess I could be wrong, and I am willing to let Rok:Brgr prove otherwise, but those beets were not roasted and, I'm guessing, were from a can. That said, I appreciated the combo and have no issue with canned beets on a burger. I like canned beets. Just don't tell me they were roasted. If you aren't up for one of the pre-designed burgers from the menu, there's a page called "Burger Bar", where you can build your own burger. Sorta like Build-a-Bear at the mall, but not completely stupid and pandering to fat midwesterners who think things like that are "darling". My one issue with gourmet, gastropubby, new age burger joints is that the burger is really too big to eat and not assembled in an eater-friendly fashion. The bread does not need to be an entire loaf. This, of course, is my opinion and certainly there are many people who love a skyscraper burger. Good on em'. However, without fail, and this proved true at Rok, I needed a fork and knife. I highly recommend Rok:Brgr for a night of thoughtful, good eats in a chill setting. The location will likely force you into a parking lot if you go on a busy weekend, but it's worth it. Keep it simple, and enjoy.

    ... okay.. been here 3 times! Feel in love for the first time came alone, sat at the bar and had a KOBE BURGER WITH BRIE CHEESE $18., it was deli sh! Second time, sat at the bar again and had a special VOLCANO BURGER $16., the bartender was excellent, and helped me change a little things on my burger (I was afraid it was gonna be toooo hot). It came out amazing! Third time, finally bring someone, my husband, so we sat at a table, the bar was busy and it was Thursday night, the server was very good, but I got disappointed, I ordered the AHI TUNA BURGER, because it was late, and I wanted something not that heavy, it was supposed to come with watercress in a sesame bun.. WITHOUT EVEN ASKING, they just change the hole meal!!! No watercress, no sesame bun, and they added a type of sweet Cole salad, I really hated, I don't eat that, not just that fact that they change everything, but FOR NOT ASKING IF I (THE PAYER) WOULDN'T MIND "THE CHANGE", I don't know if the Cheff told he waiter and he forgot to ask me, or if the "Cheff" just decided for me, I ask the waiter about my Sandwich and he said that watercress must be 86, (really??? You should let me know before you ordered )I would never return it to the kitchen, God knows why (we all know)! So I eat just the Tuna Burger and left the rest. We order two different fries, regular and truffle, they came out the same, and a $2 extra for the truffle, in a PRIME KOBE BURGER, that already is $18.00 Well, end of story, I really like my first 2 experiences, and will go back, will just continue to go on Saturday at day time and stick with the bar :) Hope it still works out...

    I liked it! I had the skinny burger, which instead of a bun it comes with lettuce as the bun, but it was seriously a head of lettuce- too much! The grilled onions were cold so I picked them off- great beer selection! Eric had some burger with bacon it looked great! Our sides we got truffle fries- umm I had better! Sweet potato fries awesome!!! (thanks Emma for the suggestion) and we also got the onion rings- they were ok but like tooo greasy to the point the breading didn't stay on and kinda soggy :( all in all good burgers, but I really don't know if I would go back :( In my own personal opinion I think outback has a way better burger!! (if you haven't tried them there ahhhh your missing out)

    Some of the yummiest burgers in fort lauderdale by far. Nom Nom Nom! The truffle fries are delicious and always great and the service is always pleasant and willing to please the new guests that arrive. The southwestern burger and D wade are a couple of my friends but I never met a burger here that I didn't like. In the summer they have half off burgers on Wednesdays which is a steal because some of the burgers dare a bit pricey for some but they are so great its worth it. They have 10 burgers on Mondays and a good happy hour. All in all no disappoints on this end. Enjoy!

    Went for lunch today sat outside they have around 4 tables outside so we had to wait about 20 minutes. The inside is pretty small I was surprised to see only a few tables inside as well. Ordered the ahi tuna burger, it comes with regular fries $14. I added for $2 more the sweet potato fries. The tuna was good, nothing out of this world. The bun on the other hand wayyyyyyyyy to much bread. The bun was literally 2 hamburger buns I took half off. Not the best idea because my sandwich was then a mess to eat. The fries where good, service was good too. The waitress was nice, and friendly. Great prices, fun little place glad to see a new happening place opening in downtown Lauderdale. It is in need of a major makeover. I will definitely go back again ;)

    DO NOT USE A CREDIT CARD HERE...My wife and I visited last week on vacation, this was the only place we both used our credit cards on the entire trip (mine for drinks while waiting, hers for dinner). Both credit card #'s were stolen, charges started appearing 3 days later.

    Went here for a friend's post-wedding rehearsal drinks and appetizers get-together, and it was ok. I feel like these fancy burger places are all the rage nowadays, so you gotta be doing something really unique to stand out. There were about 20 of us, and we just ordered a few apps. The fried zucchini was very good, nice flavor, not too greasy, light and crispy coating. The mac and cheese was ok, but the truffle flavor overpowered the whole dish. I am giving this review mostly for the way the server interacted with me about choosing a beer. I asked him what craft beers they had on tap, and he responded by telling me they had one that was like Yuengling, one that was like Corona...you get the idea. I think if I am going to deliberately ask you about the CRAFT beer on tap, then I don't want my beer compared to Yuengling. They did have a lot of bottled craft beers available, but nothing extraordinary. Overall, our experience here was good. They were able to accommodate a group of 20 during a Friday Happy Hour, and were attentive to our needs. The place has a good vibe, and from what I saw of the burgers, they looked good.

    If this place goes down it wasn't because of the food. Food: appetizer: fried pickles = heaven, thickly sliced, fried beautifully and great dipping sauce. Artichoke dip, really good with freshly fried tortilla chips, mac and cheese was a bit watery but was yummy with truffle oil. I got the Las Olas burger with tater tots w/out all the toppings. The burger was wagyu and cooked med rare. It was good, not amazing solid burger. The tater tots were more impressive and really really really yummy. Hubby got his burger with onion rings which I found passable but the sauce that came with it was chalky. Dessert was bread pudding was dry and served with vanilla ice cream. Total bill for 3 burgers, 1 chicken burger (rated average but w/ good avocado spread) , apps as above and sodas was $108. Now the part I take issue with. Wow did that service suck. Waitress started well by being upfront and explaining how any change to your meal is considered an upgrade and is like $1-2 more. The it went downhill from there. Apps weren't even down for 5 min when the entree arrived. (Who's running that kitchen?) No offer to remove plates and we were still obviously just starting the apps. Crowded table and waitress was cluelessly holding large plate trying to find room on table. We suggested she try clearing a few plates to make room. Came by a few times to refill drinks, unfocused and would fill one person but forget to get other in party. Made for frequent interruptions. Then to really piss off my mild mannered husband the waitress dropped off the check and grabbed his plate which he was still obviously eating from. He actually bitched her out since he was really enjoying his meal. All in all, I wouldn't mind coming back since the food was above average and those tater tots rocked. But I wouldn't go out of my way.

    After seeing a performance at the Broward Center downtown, I decided to finally give this place a try. I enjoyed the atmosphere of this "gastropub", with a 1920's brick wall bar theme. I ordered the ROK:BRGR, which was very tasty with cheddar, bacon, and tangy bbq sauce. I ordered the sweet potato fries with it, and the presentation of the meal was impressive as well. I ordered the burger medium well but would recommend getting it cooked medium. They also have a full liquor bar and a large selection of beers. We arrived around 5:30 and made it for happy hour, with domestic beers like Bud Light at $2 a pop, a good price for a bar setting!

  • Frank S.

    Great burgers, right in line with the recent trend of upscale burger joints. The wide variety of ingredients and toppings are quality, fresh and flavorful. The burgers are bigger than your average restaurant burger. Definitely a two handed affair. We had the classic burger and the black n bleu burger, both of which were fantastic. Also their fresh cut fries were delicious. Since it was so nice out we decided to sit out in front of the restaurant. The atmosphere was great, but then again its tough to beat S. Fl. weather this time of the year. Service was good, very prompt. Although i was not able to partake, they have an excellent beer selection as well.

  • Cindy S.

    I sit at the bar and tell the person closest to me that I would like some water. She says the bartender will take my order. She refused to take drink orders from the couple who sat next to me minutes later. I don't remember the last time I've been to a restaurant where someone refused to take starter drink orders. This is my third time here. First two experiences were pretty good, but this one has me hesitating before making a fourth stop. My medium burger came to me quite rare. Not a deal breaker for me, but not what I ordered. I had a nice chat with the bar mate next to me and we paid our tickets. The bartender brought his back since he paid by credit card, but the bartender decided to take all my cash. I did not tell her to keep the change and don't appreciate a server helping themselves to a 30% tip. Mediocre meal chase with lousy service is not a recipe for a return trip.

  • Dennis F.

    I was cruising through downtown and had a craving for a burger. I opted for the Classic being my first time here. I paid the up charge for o-rings instead of fries. My waitress, who had kinda a deer in the headlights look, subbed the truffle fries instead. They were awesome. Order 1 up on the wellness scale as apparently medium now means mooing. I anticipated this so I was good there. Overall, this is a damn good burger joint!

    So you are aware, my two favorite burger spots are Taurus in Coconut Grove for a gourmet burger, and Five Guys for fast food type of burger. I went to Rok Brgr as i had heard about the type of menu and that they had Poutine (french fries, with cheese kurds and gravy), and as a Canadian, i would drive hours to get poutine. I walked in and the place is awesome. The atmosphere is kind of like 1920's Chicago style (see Boardwalk Empire). The atmosphere is ideal. I could go here for sports, dinner date, or even just a good night of drinking. So i had the lobster corn dogs, which were unbelievable. Of course i got myself a poutine, which you can't go wrong. And the burger had to be one of the best burgers i have ever had. I had the Australian burger, which came with a huge beef patty, pineapple, beats and a fried egg. I know, it sounds strange, but it was one of the greatest things i have ever tasted. It goes perfect together!!! In the end, love the place, i will need to go up to Fort Lauderdale regularly. Not expensive, great food, and great atmosphere. One trip so far, i am already a huge fan. Well worth the drive. Can't wait to get there again!

    Service sucked. We sat ourselves and had 3 servers ask if we had been helped. Our server was admittedly still fried from his Saturday night exploits. Our appetizers of hot dogs & lobster corn dogs took about 20 mins to come out. Highlight of the meal was the short rib sliders. What really sealed the deal was the man who came to the bar inquiring about employment. The bartender told him to return during the week. This guy, who was obviously under the influence of drugs, proceeded to stand there and eat the garnishes out of the garnish tray. I watched him eat 4 sticks of olives and was grateful i didnt order a martini. The bartender finally grew a pair and told him to get lost. Not a positive experience. Will not be returning.

    I am the pickiest when it comes to burgers and this place is unbelievably good and consistent. You get a good sized burger, great variety, the best sweet potato fries and appetizers (try the lobster balls on a stick). They cook your burger so perfectly that I usually get an extra to take home and eat during the week. Even reheated it's just as good as it was when served.

    ROK is the name and ROCK it sure DOES!!! Uncle Chuck, back again for another shot at ROK:BRGR and just as expected...still a winner. Marc and Mark have it down pat with great specials, great Cocktails and Great service. Once again we were downtown for an event at the Performing Arts Center [not that we needed and excuse to come back, which he have done often] but this time we made sure we came early so we weren't in a rush. It was great to take our time and sample Chef Robbyns novel take on Potato Skins - Fully loaded "Tater Tots!!!", sip some super cocktails and just chill for a while. before getting down to business, namely... The highlight of tonights foray into Ft Lauderdale's Best Gastro Pub fare - the Grand Tasting Sliders. 2 each of their signature sliders: Kobe Beef Cheeseburger, Italian Meatball with Riccota and my Favorite, Braised Short Ribs all with tangy dipping sauces [the Demi Glace is killer] And the Jumbo Sweet Potato Fries---OH MY!!!! NOTE TO CHEF ROBBYNS: "Ya Shoulda Never Changed the Short Rib - [one of the reasons I came] the old way was excellent -Shredded - we were a bit disappointed in the new presentation, but still tasty. Dear hearts, and innocent bystanders, when you're headed downtown, whether for a night at the theater or just out on the town...do yourself a favor... Run - don't walk to ROK:BRGR, its a perfect way to start the night and you wallet will like it too.

    I love sliders. No, not the TV show from the mid-90s. And I'm not talking about the baseball pitch either (I'm more of a fastball fan). What I'm a sucker for are those small, three-inch buns with a fancy cut of meat stuffed between. The sliders at Rok:Brgr are amazing. My girlfriend and I split the slider sampler on a sunny afternoon near the end of our Florida vacation. Six sliders in total, two of each kind the restaurant serves. The regular burger slider was good enough to satisfy my yearning, but the meatball sandwich threw me over the edge. The short rib slider was icing on an already-delicious cake. The fact that we split the threesome of fries--sweet potato, regular, and garlic Parmesan--made this one of the best meals I've had all summer.

    Best BRGR in the WORLD! This place prides itself on quality, fresh ingredients....all burgers are prepared with angus or better beef and prepared by a chef... Not a cook-a CHEF! He comes up with the most amazing combinations of ingredients that result in a burger that is to die for!!! The burger size- let's just say very generous...and add all of the traditional and not traditional (avocado, cucumbers) fix ins to it- completely amazing. The place is not big inside- just the right size to keep it personable- outside dining is also available. Also to be noted- the owed Mark is young (32??) and appreciates customer feedback. I interrupted his happy hour with a friend to tell him how fabulous the place was- he then got up and chatted with us for a few minutes. It was appreciated. Definitely a Zagat winner...I hope he brings this business to NJ/ Philly area! Would for sure return!

    Awesome. Simply awesome. The only way this place could be better is if it were slightly larger, Like, I tried to take a client there for lunch and was unable to due to it being too packed and the general tendency of people to hang around there because that atmosphere is great. Menu selection is on point, foods great, decor is tastefully done, service is great, management has it together and I have yet to eat something there that wasn't awesome. Sunday brunch is a must. DO YOUR SELF A FAVOR AND HAVE THE HANGOVER SANDWICH ASAP. The bloody Mary with the bacon and shrimp is really good also I've had it a few times, the last time I admit it was made a little bit too spicy but the 2 times before that it was perfect, so probably just that bartender went a little overboard that day. I Absolutely recommend this place highly and I hope I see one in NYC someday !

    Burgers are delicious! Service is OK, seems like the staff is selective with certain customers. The last time I was there with my kids for lunch we were overcharged by $10. which I did not realized until I got home. So review you bill carefully before leaving.

    Great burgers, great atmosphere, great drinks! It's a pretty small place so expect that on Friday and Saturday nights, you might have to wait for a little bit. It's definitely worth it though and it's nice and close to all the downtown nightlife!

    This is most definitely a gastropub. The place has a puby feel, which is interesting. The floor looked dirty. We had to wait 20 minutes for a table even though we got there fairly late in the evening. Good beer selection. The service was good but not amazing. Now for the food. Ordered the lobster mac and cheese to share with the table and it is amazing, mind-blowingly so. Had the Riverwalk (Tuna) burger and it was tasty! Very delicious, good cut of tuna. Subbed the regular fries with the sweet potato and was not disappointed! This place is pricey but so worth it! Be prepared to wait for a table on any weekend visit. TIP: Order from the "Specialty burgers" and you can add and sub from that because then you automatically get fries.

    One of the best burgers I've ever had! I had the Las Olas burger with Kobe beef and the truffle fries, I would be here all the time if I lived here. Went here while on a trip to ft lauderdale.

    I've been coming here since I first moved to Fort Lauderdale last year and this place is simply awesome!!! Yes its pricey, but I am more than happy to pay it when I'm getting the best burger I've ever had. They also offer most of their burgers for $10 on Mondays. In the few dozen times I've eaten here, whether take out or dine in, the only problem I've ever had was my burger was slightly overcooked once. Now I know you might think this should never happen at a place like this. That may be, but I'll take once in 30 times or so. Everyone makes mistakes and its just part of the business. I constantly refer my bar guests here and have never had anyone come back with complaints. I highly recommend everyone try it at least once. Even the plane Jane burger, the one time I ordered it, was amazing! They have a full bar with some specialty hand crafted cocktails, a good selection of bourbons, dozens of craft beer by the bottle and a few on tap. Something for everyone... enjoy!!

    This place is great! Awesome burgers and they have poutine! The Bacon Jam Burger will blow your brains, it is the best one on the menu cause of its uniqueness in both style and flavor, it's badass. Their draft selection is a little small but it's not hard to make the right choice despite that. the staff is great as well, my card was accidentally lost when she had taken our bill and despite it being busy she ran around that whole place looking for it and did end up finding it without trying to blame me or someone else, I greatly appreciated her simply trying to make the situation right. Great place to eat with a great staff!

    The food was excellent as was the service. I took my grandfather, my mother, aunt and uncle and we all enjoyed our burgers. Especially my grandfather who had the turkey burger. He loved it. Our server was Eddie (Eduardo) and he was wonderful and very accommodating. No one at the table complained by the time the food and bill came because we were all satisfied with the food and experience. Will definitely go back.

    It's a pretty cool hangout place. Atmosphere is lively and the service is great. I was pretty hungry when I got there, so I asked the waiter what would come out a little faster/ not take as long to cook. He recommended the sliders. He said that the meatball and short rib sliders are pretty much pre-made. And since a colleague said the short rib sliders were supposed to be pretty good, I went for this $11 dish. 3 sliders: pulled meat with cheese with a mini pickle atop each and a side of sauce for dipping. I really was not impressed with the flavor of these sliders. The meat itself was nothing special and the dipping sauce tasted like the juice from the beef mixed with teriyaki--once I got some BBQ sauce it tasted better. I also tried some of my friend's regular-sized burgers (which were large and tasted pretty good,) along with the truffle oil drizzled fries which were great. The regular fries, however, were a little stale and the sweet potato fries had too much salt. The lychee martini was good...not overly sweet. I think I'd give this place another shot for it's other foods...next time when they say something comes out quick and basically pre-prepared, I'm not going for it, even if a colleague says they're good.

    Man- when this place first opened, I could not get enough of it. Good meat, good ingredients, very attentive ownership- all the makings of 5 stars. As Rok has aged, it has just lost it's "OMG, this is the coolest place" vibe for me. Still a good burger, but not as WOW. Still decent service, but that has definitely strayed a bit too. Long story short- if you are in the area, you are probably going to like, not love, your meal. I used to go out of my way for dinner here... but not as much as I used to.

    Went here finally for first time after a long worthwhile wait. THe atmosphere is great and relaxing, and while busy I never saw anybody wait more than five minutes to be seated. The burgers were amazing and worth the price, being both delicious and giant portions. With their extensive drink menu and good sized menu, I know I will be coming back for more.

    Food and service was excellent on my first visit this past Wednesday evening. I really enjoyed my first Rok:Brgr ($12). While it wasn't cheap, this bacon cheeseburger was great quality meat, cooked to perfection, and one of the best I've had. Also enjoyed the hand cut fries that came with it and had a bite of my wife's calamari appetizer, which was tasty as well. Rok:Brgr has craft beers on tap including one of my faves, Bell's Two Hearted Ale ($6), and I will definitely be back.

    Everything about this place ROCKS! The food is amazing. Try the: Blue Cheese Burger The Meatball & Ricotta Sliders Lobster Soup The Sweet Potato Fries The service was excellent and the environment was as top shelf as the drinks. All very affordable. Their were 6 ladies for lunch and we had drinks, fries, soups, salads and burgers and paid a little less than $150. It is definitely on my list to try again!!!

    I destroyed my diet today in the best way! The King James burger was amazing and the sweet potato fries are nice and big so you could really taste the sweet potato. The burger was huge and I wanted to just eat half but it was so good I had to keep eating. I really like this place and will definitely be back. My server was very efficient. I would have given 5 stars but no one asked how my meal was and the other server had such a scowl on her face. I'll bet if she cracked a smile her tips would go up.

    Just had a great Rok:Brgr lunch box special with sweet potato fries. Laura was our very friendly and attentive waitress. She was quick with drink refills and didn't leave us waiting long without checking in to see if we needed more. The burger was cooked as requested, tasty and the bacon thick and flavorful. Been here several times and never disappointed. Strongly recommend it!

  • Jacqueline D.

    These burgers are like a mouthwatering statues displaying each little layer of the elements you composed to make the perfect burger. With a miniature frying basket sleeved with parchment paper protecting fresh cut delicious fries. The menu was a booklet of so many wonderful burger items. The cocktails are really gastro-pub style hand crafted. Know your liquor before ordering because these are TRUE cocktails...Whiskey is meant to be a flavor. The scene is right off the Downtown Fort Lauderdale Club streets, so the crowd (especially during spring break) leaves a lot to be desired. But the interior is dark and cozy and feels like if you got a welcoming server and a good table (like the round corner booth) you could stay all night. I would definitely try this on a week night to avoid the Fri/Sat club hoppers & bar crawlers of the "21" age genre. Oh, and come hungry.

  • Sean O.

    I'd like to buy a vowel? Ordered a veggie burger to go from this place, and it was so close to be phenomenal, but fell just short. Points for the fact that the way they designed the recipe, when you bite into it the burger, it actually has kind of a red meat looking appearance to it that I though was pretty cool. Unfortunately, the red pepper aoili that was supposed to be on it didn't seem to make it in my to-go box, and so the thing was pretty dry. But the sweet potato fries were so tasty that I kind of forgot about it. The second time I was here I ordered the wedge salad which was mighty tasty. The server recommended I add chicken, and I thought why not. It turned out to be a pretty great addition. I currently have a crush on the wedge salad, even though pretty soon I'm gonna have to buy bigger clothes. Cool vibe if you eat inside but there is also a nice little seating section outside if you want to people watch.

    I'm going to keep this short and simple. You want good burgers? GO HERE. My suggestion Go here on Monday when ALL the burgers are $10. Even better get there before 7pm and all beers are $4. What are you doing? stop reading this and go to Rok Burger (on a Monday).

  • Candy C.

    Cool place, good outdoor seating. Burgers are delicious but my absolute favorite is the LOBSTER CORNDOG. Never knew such a thing existed until I tried one at the New TImes Food and Wine Event, where Rok:Brgr is a participant. I also had their sweet potato fries which were very good too.

  • Ericka P.

    This place is within walking distance of my home. Such a great addition to 2nd Street! When friends are in town, it's a must visit! A little pricey, but on Wednesdays they have 1/2 price burgers! The Food: This place is a burger lover's haven! There is sure to be something for everyone. If you're not a big red meat eater, try the Riverwalk Burger (ahi tuna- LOVE!), the Freebird Burger (Turkey) or the Veggie Burger! All tasty alternatives to the traditional and not so traditional beef burgers on the menu. As for the fries....yum! Do yourself a favor and upgrade to the Truffle fries- you won't regret it! The Drink: Great selection of craft beer. They also have your run of the mill draft and IPAs on tap. A full menu of cocktails and martinis are offered, but I stick to beer with a burger, so I can't comment on the drinks. The Atmosphere: Trendy but not over the top. Love the minimal lighting, brickwork. Nice bar, but very small.

  • Rachel B.

    Decent burgers, lots of variety, and awesome comfort foods available on the menu. ROK: BRGR is a great addition to the 2nd street strip. A variety of different types of burgers are available or you can make your own. If you're not in the mood for a burger, they have some fantastic options on the menu including truffle mac and cheese, short rib grilled cheese, and enormous, butter soaked, bacon filled BLT's. The fries are awesome. Try the truffle or sweet potato fries. Onion rings are enormous so grab them as an appetizer. Food presentation is cool with mac and cheese in a small skillet, fries served in a small deep fry basket, and dirty martinis garnished with bacon wrapped olives.

    RokBrgr is a fun restaurant in the Himmarshee District in Fort Lauderdale. The bar is inviting and they have a full bar and draft beers from lagers to IPAs. I have eaten there half a dozen times and have tried the Kobe burgers known as the King, and the Surf and Turf. They also have a Kobe with bacon. But my favorite is the Morning Glory. It is a burger with a fried egg (sunny side up) on a burger. It is a heart attack waiting to happen. And its awesome. Wash your hands before you take a seat, because you'll make a mess. The burgers are pricey though. The Surf and Turf is the most expensive. It has a couple ounces of Maine lobster meat covered in cheese over a Kobe patty. At $22, it is a bit steep. And it would be worth it if it was not so salty. And that is the biggest miss. In the number of times we've gone, my friends and I have found that about half the time, the burgers simply have a bit too much salt. The next time we go, I gotta have to remember to request the cook goes light or eliminate it altogether.

    My wife and I went here because she went to high school with the owner and we like trying out new restaurants. I was a little worried because we don't normally eat beef, and this is a burger joint. In Jacksonville people are in disbelief that we don't eat beef, and Ft. Lauderdale is definitely not Jacksonville. As soon as you see the spot, you'll realize that this is not a greasy spoon burger place. From the decor to the style of the menus, you get the impression that they care about the ingredients that they put into the dishes and the final product that leaves the kitchen. You can either get one of their many specialty burgers, or make your own. And they have turkey burgers and other options for the non-beef eaters. Overall, the burger was awesome. And the beer selection is great, too. We went in the late afternoon and there was barely anyone there, but I bet this place goes off at night.

  • Mike C.

    I have been there twice. Both times the burgers have been made to the way I like it and for the size of the burgers, the price is not too bad. The beer list is not too bad also. Whenever you are downtown and want a good burger and beer, this is a good place.

    Sometimes a girl just needs a burger...and ROK: BRGR is the answer! I've been in for dinner a few times and love it. The atmosphere is casual, the management and staff are very personable, and the food is amazing! I've ordered thier specialty burgers and also created my own, all of which were exactly what I wanted. The portions are massive and the drinks are generous. Perfect for a girls night out, a date, or before/after an event downtown. Definitely deserves all the publicity and awards!

    I have been here numerous times for lunch and once for dinner. The menu doesn't change as far as I can tell, but the atmosphere does transform a bit from business lunches in the day time to revelers out on the town at night. Regardless of what time I am here however, the food is always good. In fact, this is my favorite burger joint in South Florida. When you order a burger here medium rare, well it comes medium rare--what a novel concept ;). The meat is always fresh and tasty . All burgers I have had, and I have had a few, are big and can get very sloppy-in a good way. This is no trendy petite gourmet burger bar. I have also had the turkey burger here, which as far as turkey burgers go was pretty good. They offer quite a few specialty burgers and also a make your own burger menu. One small gripe is if you make your own and want french fries, you have to order a side of fries, while if you get the specialty burgers, the side of fries comes with. Nominal difference in price however (also depending on options chosen). I like the fries here..thick cut wedges, as opposed to shoe string fries. Some might prefer the skinner version. This place has a nice beer selection too. The space is a little cramped but they keep it nice. Sometimes it can get a bit smokey indoors, or even outside the restaurant from the burgers grilling. Service for me has always been good. I know I need to try some of the other selections here, and plan to, but its hard for me not to order a burger here. I will continue to return with regularity.

    Rok came highly recommended from several different publications as well as several people who's opinion I value when it comes to places to dine. I went with a co-worker and good friend of mine and we were not disappointed. Service was good. We went today, which is a Monday. It is also Labor Day. We were seated immediately and our waitress, Shannon, came up to us as soon as we sat down and took our drink orders. After she dropped off our drinks, she was prompt to take our appetizer order, which took a little time to make it to the table, but was well worth the wait. After the appetizers were dropped off at the table, our waitress came back and took our burger orders. We had all but finished our appetizers when our burgers arrived. Our small plates were cleared and our entrees replaced them. Drinks were constantly refilled. After we finished, Shannon returned and asked if there was anything else we would like, and when we said no she presented us with our check. Prompt service, great attitude. Seamless service from start to finish. ' The food was also solid. We started out with the mini Kobe chili dogs, the friend calamari, and a bowl of home made chili. All very good. The calamari was crispy, tender, and was complimented perfectly by the sweet chili sauce and pickled cherry peppers. The Kobe dogs were also very good. They were the perfect size. The dogs snapped when you bit into them, covered with home made chili and a half slice of cheddar cheese nestled into the perfect size toasted bun. The cilantro sour cream cut the richness of the dogs perfectly. The chili was also good, served with melted cheddar and sour cream. But the burgers we ordered were on a different level entirely. I ordered the Las Olas burger, medium-rare, which came with gruyere, caramelized onions, and garlic aioli. My friend ordered the King, medium-rare. I'm not sure what came on his, brie and chipotle aioli and something else as well. His was prime Angus and mine was Wagyu. Wow. They came to the table perfectly cooked, juicy, greasy in the best way possible. Melt in your mouth delicious. They came with fries, which were a good compliment to the burger but nothing outrageous. We will definitely return. All around, it's a great establishment. Small, intimate, outdoor seating available. Great service, outstanding food. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is because I've only been there once. However, we drove down from West Palm Beach to dine there and it was definitely worth it, as well as garners a return trip. Well done.

    i was in town recently for business, and wasn't sure what to do for dinner. en route to my hotel, a taxi drove by me with an ad on top for ROK:BRGR. i'm always down for huge monstrousities, especially when the ad shows one with a fried egg and thick slices of bacon...! =) once i got to my hotel room, the first stop i make on my laptop is yelp. an avg rating of 4 stars! not bad! place calls itself a "gastropub"; cool becuz i've never been to one. i drive to "downtown" ft. lauderdale. sad really. from what i saw, only like 4 restaurants, and 3 bars (2 of which were closed). this restaurant is relatively small (read: quaint/cozy) with a good atmosphere. i was starting to build my own burger, when the bar-keep said "our signature burgers are all only $10 tonite! even the King James! (which claims to be made with american "kobe" wagyu beef) as soon as I heard the $10 pitch, i was sold, because my custom burger would've set me back around $18. i ordered the King James cooked medium, and when it was delivered, it looked absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS!!! one bite into the behemoth and juice poured all down my left hand. W-O-W. total flavor country. HOWEVER, it all went downhill from there. turns out, the rest of the burger was cooked WELL DONE and therefore dry as hell. damn it!!! i was so freakin' hungry, that there was no way i was gonna send it back. this burger had SO MUCH potential!!! had they actually cooked it like i wanted, i would've given this place 5 stars. this issue with over-cooking the burger seems repetitive through many other yelp reviews. wagyu beef my ass. if wagyu beef is ground chuck from walmart, then they nailed it. total bullshit. Dear ROK:BRGR mgmt, hire new cooks!!! how hard can it be to cook a beef patty?!?!? if you do it day-in and day-out for a living, you should NEVER mess this up! the rest of the burger is assembly work! good lord!! also, there's this concept i wanna share with you- it's called "seasoning the meat while cooking it". pls try it, since my burger (meat by itself) was bland as hell. anyway, the fries lived up to expectations, and were incredibly delish. if you see their ads, and are drawn-in by the same burger i saw (in the ad), order the "Morning Glory". upon receiving your order, the first thing you should do is cut it in half, and make sure it's cooked to order. good luck. it's a damn shame they screwed-up a simple burger.

    Everything was great. Fried pickles, southwestern burger, beet salad with ahi tuna burger, all delicious.good service. Enjoyed a couple Brooklyn lagers. Visited on a Saturday night, there was a wait but we found seats at the bar in a short time. Service at the bar was attentive. Food arrived promptly. We started with fried pickles, a new experience for both myself and my wife. The portion was enough for us to share. They were great, the breading resembled tempura batter and the frying oil was fresh. Served with ranch dressing they were a great start. My wife got the beet salad with an Ahi Tuna burger. Truffle oil on the salad was perfect, good tasty beets and the tuna burger was fantastic. I got the Southwestern Burger. I ordered it medium well and it was cooked properly. The burger was just what I expected fresh and unadulterated meat with toppings that complimented not over powered. If anything the pepper cheese could have had a little more bite. The fries were OK, the chipotle ketchup was good, medium to low kick but clear flavor. For beverages we had the Brooklyn Lager, not usually being Lager drinkers we were pleasantly surprised. We were pleased to note a fairly deep beer list and the full bar had a good selection of single malts. The bartenders were busy mixing the staples of trendy SFL, they looked to be competent mixologists. The crowd was varied as we arrived before 7PM, some folks going to a show at the Broward Performing Arts Center, some folks looking like this was breakfast the day after a long Friday night and a bunch of the Ft Lauderdale beautiful people getting their night started. The whole time we were there the place was full and getting fuller.

    My boyfriend and I just moved here from Chicago a few months ago and were very surprised to find a gastropub within walking distance from our condo. The place was packed for their grand opening - food took a lot longer than usual, but bartenders were very attentive & apologetic and one of the owners came over to introduce himself and apologize as well- even bought us a couple of rounds. Food was great & good selection of drinks. After having been to the gastropubs in Chicago that owners, Mark & Mark, emulated Rok Bar after, we say that they are spot on! We passed by last night & it was even busier than it was 2 months ago on the night they opened, which is a great sign! We'll be back very soon!

    If your looking for a good quality burger this is a great place. Portion sizes are Mac daddy so come hungry. Chipotle ketchup is really good and "bacon jam" is a MUST HAVE. The sweet potato fries are good but the truffle oil fries were spectacular. They had a great beer selection as well. I will visit again if I'm in the area.

    Solid three stars; I liked my kobe burger and the fact I got a list of sauces and condiments to build with. I say Rok:Bgr roks the shit out of the greasy B and B joint. I know this is blasphemy to some people but I prefer my burgers on the non-greasy side. Maybe this is unfair since I order kobe at Rok and a regular burger at B and B but sorry folks that's just the way the cookie crumbles.

    ROK:BRGR. Outstanding! That's the only thing I can think of to describe my experience at ROK: BUGR. Located in Downtown Ft. Lauderdale between Tarpon Bend and Side Bar you can't miss the red sign! Great food an exceptional staff and a good fun atmosphere make the 35-40-minute trip from Miami worthwhile! Bed ready to wait especially if you have a party of 4 or more. I love the fact they have a pretty good size menu with many homemade burgers and a "create your own" section which is always fun, the fries are hand cut and a good verity of appetizers. For desert I had Bread Pudding which is great, i just wish they'd put more ice cream on it. I loved the Southwestern, by far one of the best burgers I have ever eaten.

    Dropped by for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon after having read a positive review. I thought the place was pretty busy for that time of day, and I grabbed a table outside. Ordered the signature Rok:brgr and was impressed. The size of the burger was quite generous. The meat was juicy and flavorful (and cooked to a nice medium, as per my request). The bun was good, as were the toppings, the cheese and bacon being particularly tasty. Fries were almost perfect - crispy and with a great flavor - but serving them in the fry basket meant they got cold quickly in the breeze. Had one of the specialty draft beers which was excellent, and served very cold. My only concern was service - I suspect that they might have been a bit short staffed, and I think one of the owners ended up waiting on me. He was really nice, but was being pulled in a few different directions at once, and I never got the requested condiments - he later apologized about that, and it was not a big deal - it forced me to focus on how good the burger was 'plain'. I will definitely return to sample some of the other things on the menu.

    i guess MY definition of a burger is to include J U I C Y which the burger i had was NOT however the trendy place here in ft lauderdale is a distinction among the "average" touristy other pub grub places nearby so it will have its following it is also very pricey for a burger joint : with a typical burger ($12) and up-sell on fries ($2) including a beer ($6) plus tip is OVER $25 and don't get me started on available parking BUT that is ALL about ft liquordale the tow-away / parking violations CAPITAL of broward county as a one trick pony , that once is enough feeling SOON becomes overwhelming, and so an A-OK rating is fair IMHO

    Sorry guys, I've got to rip on this place a little. My boyfriend and I were in town for vacation and did a "gluten free" search on Yelp. Come to find out that this place has gluten free truffle fries, according to one of the other reviewers, and they can lettuce-wrap the burgers. Awesome, says us, and off we go. We get there and stand there awkwardly for a good minute or so. The bartender looks up, makes eye contact with us, but says nothing. The hostess comes over eventually and we mention that we need to eat gluten-free and get the all too familiar deer in the headlights look. "Gluten? Isn't that like... bread?" My boyfriend and I exchange a rather concerned look but go to a table, where we look over menus. After about five minutes, our waitress comes over. "We need to eat gluten free," we say. Despite the fact that it lists "lettuce wrapped" as an option for the burgers right on the menu, and therefore you'd think that she'd point that out, she doesn't. She doesn't offer us any options, and when we ask about the truffle fries, she tells us that they're not gluten free. She also doesn't offer to ask the cooks (which is pretty par for the course for our dining experiences) for any ideas. Rok:Brgr, I really wanted to eat at you. I really wanted those truffle fries and the amazing-sounding burgers, but ignorance isn't an excuse, and lack of initiative and creativity on your staff's part doesn't make me want to spend half of my vacation on the toilet. Gluten-free diners, go to Maggiano's or Bonefish Grill if you want good GF service.

    I'm am sittng here right now for 1/2 priced burger wednsdays and they're telling me it stopped at the end of august... needless to say I won't be ordering another freakin thing after my original beer because they are not honoring their advertisment... this deal is supposed to go on until sept 28, as stated... false avertising!! Not good for business.... very unhappy because I was looking forward to a tastey burger and have lost my appetite due to lack of caring from both the manager frank and the owner mark. Pity. So long, rok brgr....

    Best burgers in Broward county. I am not a vegetarian but I absolutely love their Veggie Burgers. Everything on their menu is delicious. Very laid back atmosphere in the heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale. It can get busy on the weekends. It is worth a visit. So good.

    Great service, great food. I brought a friend that happened to be in town she is a self proclaimed foodie so I wanted to take her somewhere fun. A most go if you are a Heat fan, they have a Bosh, Dwade, and Lebron burger. We split a turkey burger and a Bosh burger and the sweet potato fries. A must go if you are in Las Olas.

    This is the first time I have ever visited this restaurant. When we first arrived the waitress/bartender was not very friendly. We asked to be sat down and the hostess was never to be sought. The restuarant was not very busy as we were there during the afternoon on a Saturday. We sought our own table and chairs out side. It was a very beautiful day so we we wanted to sit outside. Finally the waiter came over with menus and apologized for the lack of Hostess at the restuaurant. He said she was "MIA'(missing in action). We look perplexed at each other knowing this was very unprofessional but moved on and ordered our food. Our food was very good. We ordered the Lobster Corn Dogs, Bacon Jam Sliders, Arugula Salad with Goat Cheese, and Lobster Mac and Cheese and Short Rib Grilled Cheese Sandwich. The items we ate were very good but the waiter looked very upset and not happy with his job. I asked him if there was a problem and he said he was upset with the Hostess missing and not doing her job. The hostess finally was found from somewhere. She was wearing an inappropriate dress and was talking very loudly around our table how she doesn't like the food being served at her own restuarant. Her name was Dakota. She said she thought the "mac and cheese dish was disgusting and wondered why people ordered it." We looked ourselves again in bewilderment and was shocked how can a Hostess of the restuarant can talk about the food being served there with utter disgust AND in front of the customers. It was highly unprofessional and unaccepable behavior. As I am a visitor from out of town I will definitely make sure that I will not visit this establishment in the future. Your Hostess Dakota spoiled it for me and my guests. My guests are locals in this area of Ft. Lauderdale, so you lost local $$ for your resturant. Shame on you!

    Last night I went to see Les Miz at the Broward center and I was wondering what to eat and along the street there were plenty of restaurants, but somehow this caught my attention. I looked first at the drinks menu and saw that they have a wonderful selection of beer with a list of alcohol content. They not only had main stream beers but others that I knew were great like Flying dog, etc. I was immediately drawn to their signature burger that shares it's name with the restaurant's. The burger was cooked well and precisely medium rare which is my preferred style. The fries were good and it was cute to see it served in its mini basket. It was quick, prompt, and the service was great. It will be my #1 choice when I go back to the Broward center.

    Nothing like the original ROKBRGR. The place is comfy and the service by Haley is exceptional. The truffle burger and Mexican are spectacular. The regular FF are so good. Nice not soggy and crisp. There is a reason why this place is the best burger in Broward County.

    Tried this place because I didn't know the area and went off Yelp reviews to find a place to eat lunch. I got the classic burger lunch special which came with their classic burger, fries and a soft drink for $11. The soda was tiny (we got it to go) but overall it was a good deal. The food was yummy. Not the place to go if you're on a diet but the burger was delicious!

    Sweet Caroline burger is a must try (get the truffle fries to go with), but the sliders we ordered were just OK. Would love to try it out for brunch in the next few weeks to try a few other menu items.

    GO! GO! GO! Locked in between other bars and restaurants at the popular downtown Fort Lauderdale night spot, Himarshee, Rok:Brgr differentiates itself from the other places of ill-repute. The restaurant is small but the food is excellent. If you're looking for a great burger, they do it right. While others might protest to Rok:Brgr's quality, I assure you that this restaurant is the burger place to stop at. Unique takes on classic comfort foods and diversified burger offerings prove that Rok:Brgr is not settling for its success. The most recent innovation, The Fat Elvis, combines one of my favorite ingredients for a burger, Peanut Butter. Now, unless you absolutely hate peanut butter then you need to try it at least once. The Fat Elvis, featured in my pictures, is the burger version of a PB&J sandwich. Strawberry Jam, Peanut Butter, Peppered Bacon, and a burger. I felt that the bacon was lost on the burger and the strawberry jam overpowered the peanut butter. But overall, it was a tasty experience anyway. If you're not a fan or not adventurous enough to test the bounds of peanut butter on meat, then try one of the other menu selections. In the past, the Morning Glory or the Peggy have been my top choices. Nothing tops a fried egg on top. In addition to new menu variations, Rok:Brgr sources local beef. Also, during the week they offer specials on drinks and burgers depending on the day. The Mac N' Cheese is nothing to be trifled with. And now they're doing Sunday Brunch! So like I said in the beginning, "GO! GO! GO!" and to Rok:Brgr, just keep on keeping on!

    Excellent Burger, excellent service and did I mention... They have my favorite beer!! I came to Rok:Bgr on a Groupon to try it out. I was a little surprised that the area had grown so much. It was like a mini Las Olas tucked behind the Auto nation building. There are about 20 small restaurants and bars here that make a new destination in downtown Ft. Lauderdale. See my tip about parking, as I found parking just a block down the road for $6 (instead of $10) in a nice building 2 minutes away (Auto nation Bldg). Even with the weekend crowd in full effect we were greeted at the front door by a hostess that seated us immediately at a cosy little inside table. Our server promptly took our drink order and was very nice. I was sincerely impressed with the menu, lots of cool burgers and many other options. Being that it was a burger place, I decided to forgo the diet and splurge. I ordered the Rok:Burger with truffle fries and fat tire beer. The burger came hot and fresh and was honestly one of the best burgers I've ever had. The meat was a bit softer than I'm used to on a burger which made it even more enjoyable. I feel a little bad because I took a bite and squashed the bun before taking a picture for all my yelp buddies so please excuse the bad photo. Overall the food was absolutely excellent and the service was very good too. It was a little pricey ($14 for a burger) but the Groupon I used kind of evened that out. One little down side was that there were a lot of people at the bar drinking shots and being very loud. Not really the business' fault but it did make it a little uncomfortable when they got a little rowdy. Not a big deal and very situational so I'll give them a pass on that. To wrap up.. Best burger ever. Great beer selection and excellent service earns Rok:Bgr 5 stars. Great job guys!!!

    Starting off with a confession I've been here several times and have not written a review because I kinda did not remember my full experience due to only coming here after long hours of drinking adult beverages if you know what I mean. Well this last time it's was early and I was wide awake or is that wide eyed? Any way instead of it being a blurred memory I must say it was a clear delicious delight. I had the Truffle burger. It's was perfect with the truffle aioli...delicious! I always order truffle fries but this time I did not want to over kill my meal I opted for the original fries. Truly theses fries are superb as well. I ordered some jalapeños on the side btw they are roasted. This batch was hot! Just like I like it. I've also had the Short rib grilled cheese perfect for late night munchies and the Black n blue also a hit. I don't always eat burgers but if I do its has to be quality. These handcrafted burgers are truly that!

    There are few places that I will tell people never to go to...but this is one of those places. Don't bother. We were kicked out bc we paid and wanted to stay for mimosas. We were kicked out by the 5 burly men who refused to serve is bc we had already paid and they wanted us to leave. If you want mediocre food, and crappy service, go here. Otherwise, skip it. So many better places, with fewer health violations

    I love burgers and NOW there is so much competition in the South Fl. area. I have heard about Rok:Brgr for sometime now and have been dying to try it. I happened to be bored on one Saturday night and decided to come here with my sister and her boyfriend to see what the hype was all about. I was immediately greeted and asked where I would like to sit, I opted to sit at the bar as there was alot of availability there. I decided to order the Lobster Corn Dogs as my appetizer and I must give credit as it appears to be real lobster but something in the seasoning of either the bread or lobster was off putting. I will say that they came out fresh, hot and there was a good portion of meat within the breading. As a burger, I got the Morning Glory which comes topped with american cheese, smoked pepper bacon and a fried egg. The burger was pretty big - the ground beef was flavored OK and the egg was well done (just the way I like it) but the real star of the burger was the bacon, It was spicy and crispy and not too thick. Honestly, I never had bacon like that before and could have had a plate of it. Overall the burger was big enough that I had to deconstruct it and eat the patty and topping by themselves. I also got the Tator Tots which were crispy and had just the right amount of salt. Overall it was good, but seemed a little too commercial. The burger was just average for me which was a little bit of a disappointment, with the competition getting more intense I expected much more like a better flavored patty. I would try them again if I was in the area and really hungry for a burger.

    Any place that has Breckenridge Brewery Vanilla Porter gets 5 stars in my book. I'm a burger connoisseur. If you like burger, and you're nearby, you should check this place. They have the usual handmade burgers and truffle fries. I had the drunken pretzel, and it was good.

    Dear Rok, You did not Rok my socks off. You did not Rok my flip-flops off. You did not Rok my taste buds off. I'm so sorry our meeting was not better. I heard great things about how you were the best burger place in Ft. Lauderdale. And I heard this from locals too. But, perhaps people fine tuned to the Midwest are a little pickier. We eat too much meat apparently. See, unfortunately in Chicago we have this place called Kuma's. Which some say is the best burger in Chicago. And all their burgers are named after metal bands. So perhaps I shouldn't have compared my tried and true relationship-- to you, my one night stand. But I did think "cool, another burger place rock style." Atmosphere: pretty cool. Obviously, in a hip little niche. I dug that. Service: Meh, wasn't impressed. We were kind of ignored. Table was wobblier than shit, which was super annoying. Food took a while. Gastropub: I didn't feel that. Sorry. Beer/cocktails: interesting selection, for the most part great. However, my martini came with bacon wrapped olives- which were cold, chewy, and basically disgusting. And I'm a whore for some bacon. It was super gross. Fried pickles. Average at best. Mediocre really. Nothing stood out about them. I don't recommend. We ordered three burgers. I don't remember what my friends ordered but I had the Las Olas. I spent some bucks on it. It was the most expensive burger I've ever effin' ordered actually. Meat had no flavor or seasoning and was bland. I didn't even finish it. The two dudes I was with? Didn't finish their burgers either. I didn't know it was possible for dudes to leave food behind, especially burgers. Fast forward to me in sleep mode a few hours later. Wake up super sick feeling with the urge to get rid of poor assexpensive burger. Oh how disappointing my night ended. I'm sure this place has it's good and bad moments. Unfortunately, I think we came on an off night. I sadly was not impressed. So Rok, I'm sure you are nice. I'm sure you have a lot of friends that like to hang out with you. I just don't think we meshed well. Sorry. Xo

    This place has really been growing on me as of late... The Venue Small but nice inside and most importantly clean. A lot of TVs for such a small place. The Food You can always do the "build your own" burger but I really enjoy the creativity of the signature burgers on the menu. The D Wade is probably my favorite. Also, I highly recommend the truffle fries. I know it seems like they are en vogue now at every burger joint but they are quite good here. On the appetizer list I also really enjoyed the tempura zucchini. So far my burgers have always been cooked perfectly.. and juicy... and not dripping which can become a mess fast The Service The service has been good every time I've been here. In addition to the servers doing a good job the manager is always spot checking as well which I always thought is nice.

    This was an amazing little find! I have been here twice now - once eating in, and a second time taking out. While the location is a little inconvenient (paid for parking a minimum of a block away each time during non-busy hours), and there is only one stall in the women's room (LINE!!!), this place TOTALLY makes up for on everything else. The first time I was here, we came for a sit.down lunch. We were seated right away, and the staff was super-helpful! Our waitress was amazing! Their menu is extensive and everything looks great, so it was a little difficult to decide. She made suggestions and was terrific! I cannot emphasize enough, the homemade chili is a must try! It is, by far, one of the best I have ever had! Simply outstanding! We had thisn our first visit, and then I ordered it to take out with my teenage daughters on the second visit - everyone agrees, it is fantastic! Just the right amount of spice, fresh ingredients, fresh cheese on top, and sliced peppers to add a little extra heat in the mix... For those who don't appreciate the heat, just bypass the peppers. No worries! On my first visit, I had the Southwestern burger. It had some kick, but was not hot, and was just perfect. The second time, I ordered their Black N Bleu... Best burger of this genre I have had, anywhere. Per my daughters, the cheeseburger was cooked to perfection and was better than the burger joints around here by far (we have a 5 Guys, BurgerFi, and a SmashBurger), and they substitute buns at no charge, so my gluten-intolerant daughter had hers in a lettuce wrap without seasoning, and she loved it. Their handcut fries are terrific, but the sweet potato fries are amazing! These are some of the best sweet potato fries in SoFla! The second time, we had to wait 10-15 minutes for the take out order, so we walked to the river and enjoyed the view for a few minutes, then came back and our food was all ready! This is probably the best burger joint I have been to in the tri-county area. I WILL be back, and I highly recommend it for anyone who likes burgers, and possibly for those who don't... :)

    Super-duper meh, I was so saddened by this discovery when I ate at Rok and realized it is possible to screw up a burger. My "spicy" burger was nearly bland, my "adult" lemonade was safe for a five year old and we apparently walked in on them while they were cleaning because the place smelled like Mistolin. I wish I had more to say about this place but I'm afraid it will only get worse.

    Went late night after a concert at a nearby Revolution Live in January. Rok:Brgr was a great end to a rockin' evening. Built our own burger from the burger bar selection with kobe beef, bleu cheese, exotic mushrooms, caramelized onions and arugula with chipotle aioli on the side! Fantastic! Also, tired their signature dirty martini with bleu cheese stuffed olives wrapped in bacon---to die for! The bartender was welcoming and our food and drinks came out without a hitch. Foodies--this is an awesome place with a eclectic attitude. I will be back!

    Great location, Pricey for what it is... This was our second time at Rok: Brgr and actually ended up here by default as you could not get into Tarpon Bend if your life depended on it. I must say the food was better this second time around. We sat outside which was crammed pretty tight, but was worth it as it was a beautiful night. Our waitress was great about bringing drinks, apps and dinner. We were there as a party of 6 celebrating a friends birthday. They were great about sending out dessert with a candle for our singing pleasure. My husband loves the salad you can get with the burger on the side. My burger was great, though I'm not one for the wild outrageous ones. A friend got the build your own burger and it was piled to the sky. The truffle fries are also great!

  • Susan C.

    After numerous visits, I have slowly warmed up to Rok: Brgr. My first visit was mediocre at best, after hearing all of the overblown hype about this place. I did not care for the revered mac n' cheese appetizer OR my burger (maybe because it was a turkey burger) on that visit and thought the craft beer selection was the best part of my visit! I've been back 3-4 times since and have steadily had better experiences there. I had the mac n' cheese again and it was better (but not as good as Bash in Sunrise - my gold standard), plus I tried the lobster roll appetizer which was pretty delicious. I also stumbled upon the Las Olas burger which is now my go-to because I know it's good. However, my husband was recently disappointed by the overcooked egg on his Morning Glory burger. Unless you go at an off time, be prepared to wait for a table. The place is not big and I have seen 2-3 hour waits for dinner. They have a really good selection of craft beers and the service is friendly. The regular fries are thin and addictive and the come with ketchup AND mayo. How European!

    The place is kinda expensive for a burger joint but in a great location. The burger was ok. I had the Bacon Jam burger which is essentially a jam made of bacon. While the burger was good, the bacon jam I was not a fan of. The truffle fries were also just ok. They look to have some really good menu items and is definitely worth going back to try.

    alked in at 930 on a Friday night, they were on a wait. We went to the bar for drinks while waiting a little longer for a table outside. The bartender was friendly and knowledgable, I had a strawberry Cosmo that was really fresh and flavorful but not too sweet. My bf had the signature old fashion, which was makers and maple bacon syrup, which he loved, The drink menu was bound in leather and well organized, i loved it. Then we ordered the lobster corn dogs following the bartenders recommendation, though we had already been eyeing them. They were perfect, with a spicy honey mustard dipping sauce that complemented them great. The lobster wasn't too chewy as I feared it might have been. Our table was ready outside and the once appealing patio seating quickly turned into a literal nightmare. We were seated at a two top on the outskirts of the already small patio, on the curb of the road. We ordered the goat chz and arugula salad which was good but the goat chz to arugula ratio was off, they could've left off a solid handful of greens. As we started eating, motorcycles begin starting up a foot away from us blasting fumes right at our table. We might have dealt with it had it only been once but the new bikes would pull in and leave. This could be chalked up to bad timing, but I just don't think the table shouldve even been there in the first place, it was the only one of its row, and just couldn't have been placed worse. We attempted to sit at the bar but a dj had set up in the mean time in front of it. It was too loud to sit there so we ended up at a table inside. The dj thing threw me off, there was a full dining room in and outside, and it just didn't seem like a dj playing dance music was in order. No one was dancing and it was loud and ended up killing the atmosphere for us. Next we ordered poutine fries, which my bf had been drooling over since we arrived. They were amazing! We wanted burgers but were full, so we ordered them togo. We ended up creating our own burgers and ate them the next day for lunch and they were still good, though next time i would probably order sliders as the burgers were very large and a bit too much for my taste overall id say sit at the bar and try a little bit of everything!

  • Gary C.

    We went for the first time last night. We first ordered the fried pickles which I really didn't care for. The burger and fries were good, however the plain mac & cheese not very good at all. My BIG problem is when we went to pay the check. I had a $25 Vanilla Visa card I got as a gift. I checked the card value before online to make sure it had the full $25 on the card, which it did. Visa guarantees no fees after purchase, however our server said they would only honor $20. I asked why and she gave me some lame reason. I didn't feel like calling the manager and getting into an argument over $5.00. I'm not quite sure why they would do this, but it wasn't appreciated, bad business, and for this reason I won't be going back. There are plenty of other good places to get a burger who wouldn't take advantage of gift card usage. Additionally, the hostess was rude and needs an atitude adjustment!

    OK, my review is entirely based on my experience with my favorite dish ever: poutine. ever since I tried it in Canada, I can't stop dreaming about it. I live in Miami and I drove to FLL on my day off just to try it, and yup, it was sooo worth the drive. They bring it to you in a cast iron pan, the cheese melted to perfection. the buttery gravy together with the crunch of the fries and the gooey cheese....seriously, I don't know what tastes better than this combo. Hats off, ladies and gents, the chef at rokbrgr knows his stuff. ...now, as for the burgers, I've simply had better.

    Truffle fries.. my biggest love. Read in other reviews that Rok:Brgr had truffle fries!! Went down to spoil myself. Was sat outside at the bar, waited forever.. no service even with waitresses passing by me as they went in and out serving other customers. Finally hostess got the bartender to take my order. Ordered Kobe burger with lobster and those all so important truffle fries. Bartender made it clear that fries aren't included with the burger, I said I understand, I want the Truffle fries, she said no problem and wrote it down. Then waited, and waited. People that ordered after me were served. Waited. Finally the burger comes, nice juicy, thick just how I ordered. no truffle fries. I tried to get the bartenders attention, no avail.. maybe they're coming out separate? I dive into the burger, barely warm, tender, not real flavorful. Finish the burger, no fries, no follow up from wait staff or bartender. Takes forever to get the bill. No charge for the missing truffle fries but for a $24 burger expected more. Service definitely needs attention. The Capital Grille or Steak 954 will be satisfying my truffle fry cravings from now on.

    Fact: Rok Brgr has amazing burgers! I went for the first time today and I was overtaken by how delicious my burger was. I ordered the drunken pretzel burger which had Vermont cheddar, onion rings and beer mustard on top of an amazing medium cooked patty, inside a fantastic pretzel bun. I also upgraded my burger to be paired with sweet potato fries instead of their regular fries. The sweet potato fries were perfectly crispy. My only complaint is that they don't give you very many. I will definitely be coming back!! There are so many things on that menu that I want to taste!

    1. Absolutely no complains on the calamari, personally love the sweet chili sauce which to me looked like the sweet and sour sauce from Wendy's. 2. Really excited about the poutine the had on the menu but I when it arrived I really what a huge mistake I made. They need to google what a poutine looks like because all got was cheese fries with gravy cooked into it instead of poured on top of it. 3. I asked for a medium rare patty but I got it was closer to an uncooked patty than rare. Soggy bread and just an oily mess overall. 4. No imported beers so if you're looking for the regulars go somewhere else.

    So amazing. Our waitress was the best super nice and knowledgable on the menu. The burgers were too good. I got the truffle burger & the fries were perfect. I ordered the bulldog so good and my finance had the pumpkin beer. The manager came to check on us. Everyone was super nice n they have great specials. We're definitely coming back soon !

    What a Burger ... I wanted something new and out of the box so I went for the Fat Elvis, and let me tell you, you may call it gross or anything you want, as I once did, but once you bite and taste that PB&J with the smoked bacon your world will be turned upside down. Large decent portion which actually tires you towards the end after chewing through so much peanut butter. I'd recommend accompanying it with sweet potato fries; I ordered the truffle fries and wasn't a great mix. The sweet potato will embellish the PB experience.

    Fattening, but no regrets. Sometimes there's a long wait, but so worth it. The appetizers, burgers and a friend of mine said their salad are just awesome. Burgers are cooked to perfection and everything I've gotten here has enough flavor. Sundays for brunch, women drink free mimosis... although they aren't the greatest, their brunch menu is pretty good.

    Food was very good, as it has always been. You definitely need to upgrade to the truffle fries. Service has been a little slow the last two times, and it was a week day.

    This place is FanFreakintastic! The burgers are amazing. Fried egg, Jack Cheese, Jalapeno? Shakazulu! Truffle fries are off the chain ORDER THEM and also gluten free. They have great cocktails served in nice glasses (not plastic cup which is rare on Himmarshee on Saturday.) The Dirty Martini comes with bacon wrapped blue cheese olives. I met the owner and he was kind weird and a little rude, but all the bartenders and servers are very cool.

    First I have to say ...for south Florida its pretty good...that being said this area is an abysmal waste land for food...this burger is OK & over priced for what U get, compared to the rest of the country..service was good..just that its another overpriced, average place to eat a basic meal...so if U are desperate for a place to go then give it a try...

    There is nothing healthy about this place except for the portions. If you're on a diet, don't torture yourself by coming here. If you want to have a slice of heave with a side fries, then you're in the right place. I've been here three times, at three different times of day, and they have always had the same great service and food quality. The burgers are big enough to share, but why share? The menu can be pricey (most burgers hover around $15), but you do get what you pay for. The burgers are huge, and topped with high end ingredients. Also, unlike other gastro-gourmet-fancy-pansy burger places, all of their burgers come with fries (So factor that into the price). The service was great. My bf said the server recommended just the right beer to go with his burger. The place is small. If you get there late, you might have to wait. But the hostess staff is very accommodating and are usually pretty accurate if not under the quoted time. Go eat a giant burger.

    Think twice before going to ROK:BRGR. Used to be my favorite cheeseburger - until on Sunday when they screwed up my order (no big deal) and then SCRAPED the bacon & sauteed onions off the burger in the kitchen and then handed it back to me COLD. Disgusted. If they are half assing that kind of quality, what else are they half assing? Gross.

    Glad to have something new and delicious on Himmarshee. The staff was very friendly, attentive and helpful--even for a busy Friday night. The cocktails were tasty and the craft beer list had good variety. I don't eat much beef, but the Rok Chop salad was piled high and topped generously with crispy bacon and a house-made ranch dressing that was refreshingly light and creamy with subtle flavor than what you usually expect from the bottled stuff. The truffle fries are also a savory treat that I highly recommend. Will definitely be back, especially after catching a glimpse of what looked like homemade ice cream!

    Visited Rok:Brgr after seeing a show at the Broward Center. We were a little worried about the parking situation, since the show ended right around 11pm, and Las Olas was starting to get pretty packed, but found parking right across the street at a meter! There were a couple of groups inside watching the ends of some college football games, which made it difficult to find a hostess or waiter to seat us, so we ended up having to squeeze through the crowd till we reached the back of the restaurant and got seated. As far as the menu goes, we were pleasantly surprised to find a wide variety of burgers, all reasonably priced. I ordered one of their specials - a Thanksgiving turkey burger topped with stuffing, cheese, and cranberry aioli and a side of sweet potato fries. It was delicious! Never imagined such a blend, but I'd definitely order it again. My best friend created her own burger, and loved hers too. The fries were amazing (both the hand cut, and sweet potato) and definitely large enough to share. All-in-all, it was a great choice to visit Rok:Brgr, and we hope to make it back soon.

    I was excited to try this place, but cannot say that I am entirely sold on this upscale burger joint... waitress service sucked and took forever for a simple burger. Burger was good tasting though. Truffle Fries were too thing and crumbly though.

    I love this place. I keep coming back. The burgers are just so good and the place is nice and clean and comfortable and those little mini chili dogs changed my life a little. I've only ordered the signature Rok Brgr. I like it too much to ever try anything else. It's juicy and drippy and I leave needing a nap. I like the bar. They have Magic Hat No.9 on draft. It's all good. Can't find anything wrong with. i've heard they stopped offering half off burgers on wednesday which used to really seal the deal on this place. But who are we kidding I'd pay double for this burger if they asked nicely.

    My boyfriend and I met the owner, Marc, one Saturday in riverfront while he was interviewing servers. After telling us the concept behind the restaurant, we were thrilled! So we've been waiting for the place to open for weeks. Finally went this past Saturday and it was amazing! We shared the Rok:Brgr salad, he had the Australian burger, and I had the bbq pulled pork sliders. I've never had anything better. The only downfall was there was the beer. There were only 3 types on tap and my bf got the IPA and it ran out while we were there. This was prob just because the place just opened and there are always kinks to work out. Needless to say, we will be back many times. Ft. Lauderdale has been needing a spot like this!

    GOOD CONCEPT, OK FOOD, BAD SERVICE - This restaurant is all about the toppings, but the burger meat is dry and flavorless. Order water or bear to choke it down. The service is abysmal, and I've had to send my medium rare burger back many times for being tar-tar.

    I live in LA, the best town in USA for burgers as far as I'm concerned and this place is right up there with the best. Tried a bite of a few of the burgers and they were all on another level. I had the rok brgr which is basically a giant bacon bbq cheese burger and i got poutine ont he side. I haven't seen poutine on a menu in Florida ever and only once in LA and it was phenomenal. Also they have these insane dipping sauces for their fries that are all legit. Inside it feels like a NY bar or something, lots of brick and nice booths. Its a cozy spot right on the strip and the staff was very much on point.

    well, after two visits in the last week and two nearly perfect burgers, i feel like a review is in order. visit number 1, noon lunch on wednesday with a meat loving co-worker. place was packed due to the 1/2 price deal (which it seems has finally caught on), but we managed to snag the last two seats at the bar. service was a bit shaky (as it normally is here, service quality being the achilles heel of the restaurant), and the bartender/server made sure to go into a big shpiel when i order my burger medium-rare. She pointed down to the temp guide in the menu and asked "are you sure that is how you want it?" my rok:brgr came out perfect, pink and really juicy in the middle, no tomato and bbq sauce on the side. however, my companion's medium burger was grey all the way through, so i guess that temp guide is a bit off. she didn't mind, so no harm no foul. my burger was great: juicy but not greasy, with a good combination of beef, bacon and cheese melting in my mouth. visit number 2, noon lunch on sunday. pre-harry potter viewing with friends, it wasn't brutally hot yet so we sat outside and i ordered a bloody mary that was thick with horseradish and full of spice. just the way to kick off the day. i was feeling breakfasty, so i opted for a morning glory (interestingly enough, this burger is not listed on the restaurant's online menu). burger is 10 oz. angus patty, bacon, american cheese and fried egg. i knew that the egg was gonna be juicy so i decided to have it cooked medium, and again i was served a nearly perfect burger. going the full, ultimate breakfast sandwich route i added a handful of fries to the burger before i cut it in half, and the added carb boost helped to soak up the runny yoke when i bit it and ruptured it. needless to say, this burger made me very happy. i washed it down with a stone ipa (there is definitely something to be said about visiting a weekday lunch spot when you can enjoy an adult beverage) before settling out check and heading over to the movie. all in all a good start to a good day, i'll be back for more.

    Seems like this place has not been able to keep their food quality and service keep up with thier popularity. Wait staff were frazzeled and scattered. Drink orders took forever, all burgers were way overcooked beyond how they were ordered. Burgers ordered with eggs had the eggs cooked into oblivion. The purpose of the egg was to get some nice runny yolk onto the burger. Bacon was limp and about 5 minutes away from being actually cooked on every burger. What a waste. Oh also the ladies bathroom was broken,so the one working bathroom was unisex. On a Friday night. Was a challenge for all. Nice beer list, Bell's Two Hearted on tap was fresh and inexpensive. Onion rings were very good. Dessert was so-so. The hostess was quite good, and was one of the highlights as far as our experience here. Hope they get back to straightening things up and start flying right again.

    LOVE this place! Have eaten here probably 8 times this year, since stumbling upon it. GREAT small plates (zucchini tempura with avocado aioli and garlic aioli), fries (truffle fries are the best), and so many different types of burgers! I customize my own with avocado and a fried egg, and its always perfect! My one complaint is this: the hours on the website are not completely accurate, we went in around 1:15am Saturday morning for food (hours say they are open until 2) and they said the kitchen was closed. Huge disappointment! They should be more specific. Also, they used to have a great promotion, 50% off burgers Wednesday nights and they took it away, now the only "special" is Monday night drink specials, no biggie. Definitely one of the best restaurants in Las Olas though! :)

    Perfect late night spot! The food was delicious. I had the sweets with a salad, and my husband had a juicy burger. The beer options were great too. Every time we've gone, the food has been reliable and tasty. I love the salads and even loved the veggie burger. The fries were delicious as well, with vinegar for dipping (the Virginian in me loved that!) and an array of available sauces for the sandwiches. This would be our go-to spot for fulfilling post-dinner hunger pains on childless nights. Highly recommended.

    Rok:Brgr is just ehhh. I really wanted to love the food but it fell short for me. The restaurant has a cool atmosphere and probably really fun Friday and Saturday night. Went here on a Thursday night around 7. The place was half full. We had good service but the burgers were not very good and they were really thick (10oz). I LOVE thin burgers like the yummy ones u get at Five Guys(my fav!). I had the D Wade. It was okay but I would not get it again. The regular and sweet potato fries were really good! I would go here again for drinks and snacks. If I am craving a burger I will visit Five Guys.

    As my review was deleted for who knows what reason, I am rewriting it. Had dinner here. Ordered a burger and the truffle fries. The burger was so over-seasoned it was almost not worth eating. Super peppery burger. The truffle fries were over done with way too much truffle, the folks on the other end of the table could smell it. Overall, it was a pricey bill for average food at best.

    Had a great hamburger there. It was juicy and very tasty. The fries were crispy. The one thing I did not like was the cola I had, it had a bleachy, medicinal taste to it. I would suggest using either coke or pepsi brands. Otherwise will certainly go back.

    Small restaurant, but good food. Huge burgers, so I would recommend sharing a burger with someone, and getting an appetizer...should be plenty of food. My husband and I ordered the "peggy", and the "southwestern", along with sweet potaoe fries. Everything was very good, but the southwestern was better. Mojito was just meh...tasted like a mix, not fresh. My mistake for ordering one, but I was just in the mood for one. I would opt for a beer next time around.

  • Eye F.

    Solid. We've probably been through the entire menu and can't say we've had anything we did not enjoy. It's not gourmet cooking but it's very well prepared basic cooking with very good ingredients and just the right amount of flair. The freshness of much of the food puts the vast majority of Fort Lauderdale's high-end restaurants to shame. Owners are very friendly, service is excellent, atmosphere, given it's a pub, is excellent. Highly recommended as we think it's pretty hard to be disappointed with any entree.

    Stopped in because I liked the look of this place. The service was EXCELLENT and the food was superb. The burgers are gigantic. I went with a family of 6. Everyone at my table enjoyed their food- lots of variety: tuna burger, yummy salads, mini hotdogs. I was very impressed.

    I went to this place after my sister bought a Groupon. Not worth it even with a Groupon! When we arrived we looked at the menu outside on the wall and were really excited about the prospects. The options on the menu were all really appealing, different, and right up our alley. When we were seated, outside which was a plus, the plate in front of me was so greasy that there were hairs and small pieces of what appeared to be dried grass attached to it. I commented to the hostess who sat us that it was gross and she said "yeah, it really is". They brought us a high chair for my nephew and it was gross too. It looked like it had never even been wiped down. Now, I am not super picky on cleanliness especially when eating outside but this was beyond dirty. Our waitress looked unkempt, she even had a hole the size of a quarter on the side of her uniform shirt. We ordered a bunch of appetizers and some burgers so we could all try different things. The macaroni and cheese was bland as was the poutine. The burger was good, we asked the waitress if it could be cut in half and she said they don't cut the burgers and stated that that was why there were knives on the table. She looked annoyed that we were there and the service took forever. When we were ready for the check it started raining and then it took super long for her to come out and give us the check. It took even longer for her to come get it again. After very poor service 18% tip was added to the check. Even if the food were spectacular, the service and uncleanliness would keep me away.

    I went here twice during my vaca in FL. So there are 2 reviews in one. 1st night we had all apps Fried Pickles were not my thing... only because they were bread and butter pickles. I know it says B&B on the menu but very easy to miss which I did. Parm Truffle fries were good but cold and the lobster corn dogs were not what I expected at all. The inside was a lobster mush of some sort. They were just weird. 2nd night which is why I give this place 4 starts instead of 3 The onion rings are AMAZING and so are the cheese curd fries. Everyone at our table loved their burgers. My only complaint is that they should let you build your own sliders. The burgers are massive so I opted for the sliders but was very jealous of the toppings everyone had. Also, the service is straight up sloppy. The guy who runs the food had zero idea of where the food was going. He put my burgers on someone else's table and left them there for 5 minutes while trying to figure out where the food belonged. He had a terrible attitude and looked like he wanted to kill someone.

    I read good reviews about this restaurant and I thought I would try it last night 12/29/10. The place was crowded and the hamburgers looked good. Menu is good for hamburgers but i was disappointed because my hamburger came out only luke warm and the french fries were not crispy!!!! We were with 2 other people and theirs were not hot also. Can't compare to Five Guys or Yolo on Las Olas. Would not go back there again....

    Rok Brgr is definitely the gem of downtown Fort Lauderdale! This place has all you need to begin a great night out! We sat in the patio seating and was instantly impressed by their cocktail menu. I had a bourbon mojito which was refreshing and delicious while others enjoyed the huge selection of micro brewed, craft beers. Calamari appetizer was delish! I had the king burger while my friend had the prime! Both of us we extremely impressed and stuffed! Sweet potato fries are the best I've ever eaten. Next time we want to try the bread pudding as we have heard its to die for! EVERYONE MUST TRY ROK BRGR IF YOU ARE IN TOWN!

We only waited about ten minutes. the service was great and the food even better....plus, their beer selection was top notch also....will definitely visit again!

    I have been to Rok Burger twice now. My first experience was while on a date. I ordered the DWade Burger- burger with chili, jalapenos, and cheese. My burger was cooked perfectly. It was juicy and definitely hit the spot. My date ordered a "create your own burger. He said it was a little over-cooked. He ordered his medium-rare and it wasn't really pink inside. We both ordered beers but wasn't impressed that had only three varieties on tap. The waitress was attentive to our needs and very helpful when we asked for suggestions. My second experience was with a friend. We ate earlier and were looking for something small. We split the Kobe beef sliders and some fries. The sliders were cooked perfectly. Fries were seasoned and cooked well. We both order the Lychee martini. Neither one of us was impressed with it. The bartender put way too much alcohol in it. I think this is a great place to stop and get a bite. Food is always good. I"ll stick with the beer next time. The best burger you'll find in Fort Lauderdale if you're looking for something off Las Olas.

    Had heard about this place for a little while, so was glad to get the opportunity to finally try it a few weeks ago. This is a really good addition to downtown Lauderdale. It's hip enough and has enough vibe to add to the west end, where things can sometimes get a tad young / sloppy. The cool space, brick walls, good-looking staff and vibe-y music made me like this place before I had even seen a menu. Having said that...while it's certainly not the cheapest burger joint in town, nor is it the best burger I've ever had...nor do they have enough of a beverage selection yet (some of us drink wine, even with burgers!), it was pretty darn good, all around. The burgers were big and most with a variety of toppings...and the indoor / outdoor atmosphere made it a really enjoyable place to kill an hour.

    I went last night to try out Rok Burger after passing by the place several times and reading the various reviews. My friend and I were dying for a really great burger something yummy and not too greasy. So off we went and when we arrived just before 8pm on a Saturday the place was slammed. It seemed that the inside tables were all taken by 5 different groups with 10 people or more. Luckily we were only 2 so they were able to seat us right away. Looking at the various burgers going by they seemed large enough to share for 2 girls. We ordered the Lobster Roll to start and the Southwestern Burger. We were so impressed when the food came out so quickly and perfectly cooked. The Southwestern was very good with just a hint of the grilled peppers. I would definitely order it again. Then the waiter suggested dessert so again we split the bread pudding which was good but I would have to try something different the next time. All I can say is yes I will be back for another burger or maybe to see what else is on the menu.

  • Michael S.

    I really think this place is overrated. If you can actually find a table in the awkwardly small restaurant/hole in wall you could try it. Lets start. Service: The service was pretty crappy. Our waitress neglected our table the whole time. Stopping by once to see if we needed anything. She seemed to care about the other larger groups. When it started to rain just as we got our food no help was offered getting us a different table or another umbrella. When the manager asked if we were okay I said "No I'm getting wet". He responded with "Their is nothing I can so" WHY DID YOU ASK ME THEN? To make me feel more wet?! Food: The food was pretty good. The burgers are large and filled with toppings. I'm not too sure they're worth 15-20$ but they're good. The fries were equally as good. The food gets around 3&1/2-4 stars. Experience: This was obviously horrible. Between the manager not offering any help and the waitress watching us from the inside get soaked but then rushing out to get our bill, that kinda did it for me. Maybe if I didn't leave soaked and neglected I would have actually enjoyed my burger. We shall never know. Overall: Food is good, slightly pricey. Service blows as does the seating. Beware of rain and bigger tables!

    Love the burgers!! Great selection on craft beers!! Relaxing but yet trendy atmosphere!! Just one problem...they don't take reservations, but will hold a table for you if you are not even there...makes no sense right? Tried eating there a couple weeks ago with my girl and also had a friend in town who wanted to get burgers and beer. Two tables opened up, we went and sat in them, then were told they were reserved for a party of 5 or 6. We sat and watched those tables vacant for at least 20-25 minutes and then went across the street for food. Kind of disappointed.

    Loved Rok Brgr. We ate dinner at the bar. The service was quite good as was the food. The only drawback to the whole experience was the guy that came in and sat next to us reeking of pakalolo. I guess he had the munchies after he got done smoking. Oh well....certainly not the establishment's fault.

    Went there over the weekend for my wife's birthday. We had a large party of twenty people and we could not have been happier. Frank and his staff were able to accommodate us, and our server, Brian, was excellent. They were attentive to our requests, friendly, and welcoming. The food is great and everyone left satisfied, given the portion sizes. The burgers are the best in Fort Lauderdale, and I would go as far to say Broward County. Try the fried pickles, the sweet potato fries, and my favorite, the Rok Brgr. We will be going back very soon and I highly recommend it. This is my first review on Yelp, and was compelled to write, because it was just that amazing!

    Finally, something other than a bar or seafood place that we can grab a bite at before or after a show! We had dinner here last night after an event we attended and left feeling about 10 pounds heavier! My boyfriend and I had the D Wade burger which came lightly smothered in their house chili. A pretty strange combination but it's what attracted me to it in the first place and it was mouthwateringly delicious! Also, it wasn't one of those too big burgers that fall apart the moment you pick it. It was just right and full of flavor. The fries were tasty as well, without being drenched in oil. A full bar and extensive beer list makes this the new go to place for a quick bite when visiting the downtown area. Can't wait to go back and try everything else on their menu!

    Great new alternative around the Himmarshee/downtown area. My top 5 reasons to go here are: 1. The burgers are absolutely fantastic. And HUGE! They're not cheap but they're well worth the price. 2. Outdoor seating = we can bring our dog with us (they bring out a water bowl) 3. Huge list of microbrewery beers 4. Friendly staff 5. Great location with lots of parking Bonus: Excellent home-made POUTINE. Also.... lobster filled corn dogs... sounds weird but they're fantastic. I highly recommend this place. Check it out!

    Go here! I had the specialty burger. I don't remember what it was called as I basically stumbled in here after a day of drinking. But I do remember it was awesome. The beer selection was also good and the staff was great. I don't know the area at all and this place is bookmarked for sure.

    If you happen to venture on Riverwalk in Fort Lauderdale do yourself a favor and stop by this bangin' establishment. The ROK burger was so damn good I felt like Wimpy from a Popeye cartoon back in the day.

    This place is very good. We go about once/twice a month and it's always great. Food, service and pom-tini's. I get a standard cheeseburger and fries. My husband gets the volcano burger or the morning glory whichever they have that day. He ALWAYS gets the loaded tots. They come in a mini cast iron skillet and they are loaded!! Enjoy!

    I think gastropub is another term for "trying too hard". That being said, this place isn't bad. A little expensive for what it is, and there are much better places for a quality hamburger in town, but its the best burger 2nd street has to offer. Basically, there isn't much of a reason to go out of your way to go there, but if you are downtown, its not a bad option

    Poor excuse for a brunch! Just left this restaurant..... Brunch was average... Service was terrible. The waitress never checked on us and i always had to call her for service. Outside was cooler than inside... The ac was full blast with the doors wide open. Not once did the waitress say thank u and/or ask if we needed anything else.....

    Customer service wise this place is ok. Took a while to get truffle fries out as an appetizer. I walked in and the hostess waiter dude whatever his name was acted like he didn't want to seat me. I asked if I could sit anywhere and he said yeah or the bar if I like. So I'm like coo I'll sit at the bar, except they were all dirty with drinks, plates and and napkins all over from previous ppl. I stood hoping he would clean it off and he looked at me and said "I guess I could help you clean that up" I'm like bruh I don't even work, why would I wanna clean this bar up? I mean I'm not rude or anything but why would I have to clean up a table or bar I want to eat at. I believe that's his job, again, I'm not rude but that was really odd that he thought I was gonna run to the back and drop off some plates and cups to the kitchen. I forget what burger I ordered but it had onion rings on it. I probably would have remembered the name of it if it was amazing but it was so so. The pretzel bun was probably the best part of it. I'm not sure why but I felt like the actual beef was salty. I could have been trippin but at the same time the fries were salty too so I didn't enjoy this burger too much. Just know I drank a lot of water while eating this. I really wanted to try the yelp/cowboy burger but the waitress said they don't sell it and she's never heard of it while working there for 2 years. The loaded tater tots are not served or even on the menu for that matter. Disappointed as I really wanted to try the tots and cowboy burger. The yelp pics of them are tease so don't get your hopes up. I also had the lobster mac which is 20$ and you don't get much for that price. It was ok to me, didn't really drive me crazy or anything it was just there. The cheese was a little too thick for me. I really love Mac n cheese and I was a little disappointed.

    I fricking love burgers! Love them. Americana in it's purest form. There are a few artisan burger joints around Broward that I love to go to when I'm in the mood for a juicy patty with delicious toppings, and after trying ROK:BRGR, I'll have to add this spot to my list. They're a much better than average gastropub . You can tell there is some sort of science behind the pairings of their ingredients on the menu. (or maybe I'm giving them too much credit, HA!) IE: The Fat Elvis; This is peanut butter and bacon with jam on a burger! I've heard of this type of thing before, but never seen it on a menu. It's definitely next on my list to try. If you're going to mix all of that stuff together.... it must be damn amazing. Or else why on God's earth would anyone have it on the menu? Right?? My first time here I had the Truffle Burger on a whim that it sounded good. It includes baby swiss, exotic mushrooms, caramelized onions, truffle oil drizzle, and truffle aioli. Doesn't that make your mouth water? Just thinking about it makes me want to get a burger here for dinner tonight. In complete contrast to my burger, the fries were soggy and flavorless. Honestly, that really put a damper on my experience. I understand that burger joints get most of their profit from fries. So, it'd make sense for them to shape up a bit in that department. The ambiance was very cool. The music was great if you like 90's rock. They played a lot of Nirvana and Foo Fighters. The service was very good as well. Since there was something I didn't like I can't give an unabashed 5 star review, though I wish I could. I'll definitely be back here to try the Fat Elvis... so if you're reading this ROK:BRGR, please keep it on your menu!

    For a burger bar, I expected more from the burger I had here. In general, given the other reviews, I expected more in general. I'll elaborate. My husband saw that they had a burger deal on Monday so we cabbed it here from the beach. It was after the lunch rush so I wasn't that hungry but a few bites of a burger sounded great. Upon arrival, the place was pretty empty save for a few occupied tables in the back and some patrons drinking on one side of the bar and a few others eating burgers to our left. We saddled up at the bar and were promptly greeted by the bartender. She informed us that it was happy hour so we were psyched for that because DEALS! We ordered a round of beers and then the bartender became engaged in a quite lengthy conversation with a few men drinking at the end of the bar. She finally came back and asked to take our order. My husband indicated that we were going to share a burger to start as it was a snack vs meal. We went with the pork belly burger and upgraded to the tots per her recommendation. She then asked what else we wanted. We reminded her that we wanted to share. She told us that that was generally not allowed. I explained that I really only planned on snagging a few bites - I wasn't hungry and just wanted to sample the burger. She looked mildly annoyed and basically told us to be discreet about it. We ordered another round of beers and the our burger came up. It was okay. Couldn't even tell it was pork belly. The tots were a huge let down. They seemed to be bagged frozen tots, nothing special at all and the portion was so ridiculously small - I think there were 10 tots. I spied my neighbors fries and he had a heaping portion. What's with the skimping on the tots?! As promised, I had 3 bites of the burger and half the tots (5). The bartender never checked in to see how we were liking the food nor did she ask us about another round (our glasses were empty.) I wouldn't say she wasn't keeping busy because she was definitely refilling containers and such but she definitely spent a good portion of time chatting with some men I presume were regulars. We decided not to order another round based on what sort of seemed like disinterest from the bartender. In the end, the burger was fine for ten bucks but I wouldn't have been happy to pay more. Our drinks were also priced differently than on the menu (not half off as the happy hour beer promotion was described to us but more like 1/4 off so I just let it go.) Despite feeling a bit let down due to the service and supposed "policy on sharing" we left a very nice tip and generally thought that the place has a lot of promise. I would have likely given another star without hesitation if I didn't feel sorta unwelcome.

    My only complaint was the price. The Bacon Jam Burger was great, the lobster corn dogs were great, the BLT deviled eggs were so good even my picky 4 year old ate them. My husband had the sweet Carolina, it was good. There was a lot of burger. The onion rings were perfectly breaded and held their crisp. The fish & chips were a good portion and perfectly breaded. Our waitress was very attentive. I'm stuffed!

    Drinks are fabulous. Party of 4 and we ordered 4 different items plus appetizers. All food was amazing!!! If you can have only one thing, try the lobster corndogs! Lays fish n chips is a close second!!! Definitely coming back.

    Great atmosphere to get your Sunday Funday brunch festivities started off with a bang. There is an eclectic crowd, great staff and a dj spinning music outside. Oh and ladies you get FREE mimosas during brunch!!! Need i say more?... probably not. Been here a few times and I have never been disappointed. The staff is friendly, and the food is always on point with flavors. Below are some of the things that I've tried: ROK BRGR HASH-cast iron skillet | chorizo | manchego cheese | two fried eggs (Flavorful skillet... all of the components are flavored and gives you yummy bite full. Filling dish great for sharing) SHRIMP & CHEESE GRITS-florida shrimp | south carolina stone ground grits | jalepeno cheddar (this doesn't taste like your boxed grits. Flavored with the jalapeño cheddar and topped with big shrimp pieces. Filling dish... you won't want to put your fork down) SOUTH FLORIDIAN-creamy brie | duroc pork belly | red onion marmalade, truffle aioli (this burger had me at Pork Belly.... fatty deliciousness. You can't go wrong with this burger in my opinion. You get the sweet from the brie and red onion marmalade and the savory from burger.) BEET & GOAT CHEESE-arugula | roasted beets | pistachio crusted goat cheese | passion truffle vinaigrette (this salad had me sold at the goat cheese balls. Crusted with pistachio and served warm. I've had beet and goat cheese salads before but this salad is one of my personal favorites.) Reasonable prices, huge portions, good staff. ... a definite go to place when recommending a place to try in Fort Lauderdale.

    Wait...did I just spend $90 for some burgers and hot dogs? Got there at 6:35..........informed it was happy hour.....1/2 off of craft beers. Sweet! They had on draft a Magic Hat Electric Peel....had a aftertaste of grapefruit. Didn't think I would like....but really did. Fried Pickles: Its my birthday...why not! Never had, so glad I did. Farm House Burger. My new favorite thing is a fried egg on top. This one had it, and caramelized onions. I did order it medium rare, but the thing might as well have been moving. My wife also ordered m.r. and hers was cooked more. I did eat it....still was damn good. Truffle Fries: For $2 up charge you could turbo up your fries to Truffle.. Dear lord..good stuff. Add the wife's burger, beer, and 2 kids meal somehow this meal got racked up to $90 with tip!! It was good, but c'mon........still a fan for taste. In other news, really need to hit the gym today.

    Amazing.....The bartenders and waitresses, especially Tal, are so fun and accommodating. Expect to NEVER have your mimosa glass empty during brunch!!! They're like ninjas refilling your glass without you being the wiser. The breakfast Mac and Cheese, and the eggs and burger will change your life!

    I went for dinner on a Tuesday night since their neighbor, TacoCraft, was too busy. Rok Burger was able to seat the 6 of us inside immediately at 7pm. For an outdoor seat, there would have been a 45 minute wait. The background music was mid 90's Rock and played at a volume you could still have a conversation. There were TV's around the restaurant with sports playing. Our waiter was good. Drinks were always refilled and plates cleared. Food didn't come out all at once. My friend who ordered 10 minutes after us, got her food 10 minutes before us. They said the short rib grilled cheese is faster to make than a hamburger. It would be nice if they could have timed it better so she wasn't eating in front of us. The poutine is super salty. We couldn't finish the side order because of that. The Caroline burger was great. The BBQ sauce comes on the side. It is a large burger...enough for 3 people to share. It is 10 oz of meat before cooking. We upgraded to onion rings for our side and these are excellent and served with a queso sauce. My favorite was the short rib grilled cheese with caramelized onions. It comes with a little dipping cup of gravy which really added to it. The sandwich is pricy at $15, but good quality. The server separated our checks with no issue. There is metered parking on the street or nearby flat rate parking lots. Overall, it was a great experience. Prices are high though....expect to pay $15-$20 for a burger.

    Been to ROK:BRGR several times. Each time I come, it seems to be a pattern that the service starts off ok but then ends up a mess. This most recent visit was the worst. To start things off, we were a group of 7. The server tells us right away that we can only have four separate checks and we decide who was going to be on which check. We order our food and drinks. Drinks arrived right away. Food also arrived on a timely manner. I ordered the Turkey Burger which was a mistake as it was so dry I almost couldn't eat it. I have been here before and the regular burgers are fantastic so I am not going to take off a star for the food. It is very hard to find a good turkey burger at a restaurant. I also got the loaded tater tots which were to die for. They also offer a great Mac N Cheese bar which a couple of my friends took advantage of. Also very good. Here is where the service goes south: After we got our meal, our server was no where to be found. Considering how small this restaurant is, we were a little baffled by how we couldn't find her. We finally did and ordered another round of drinks that took very long to get to our table. Finally when it was time to get the check, we couldn't find our server again. Once we did, she printed out all four checks and we immediately gave her our cards. She then runs our cards and brings them back in one stack, leaves them on our table, and then rushes off without even acknowledging us. We were shocked as normally a server will at least thank us for coming. So we proceeded to distribute recipes and cards amongst ourselves, signed them and left. Just to reiterate, I found it a pattern here that the service got worse as the night progressed. This last time just seemed to be the worst. The food, with the exception of the Turkey Burger, is very good and this is definitely a good option to eat prior to or after seeing a show at the performing arts center.

    Came for lunch with a friend on a Friday afternoon. It wasn't as busy during lunchtime as it is for the dinner and late night crowd which was a nice change. We ordered the fried pickles to start and they were piping hot from the fryer. The smoked ranch dip is a perfect dipping sauce for these. I wasn't starving so deviated from ordering a burger and got the ahi tuna and avocado tacos appetizer as my meal. I know Rok is known for their burgers and the saying don't order chicken at a steak place was swirling in my head, but I have to say they were FANTASTIC! That was actually the first time I ever had seaweed and I'm surprised that I actually liked it. The tacos were so cute and tiny but perfect amount of food to eat after a larger appetizer and sharing yummy truffle fries. My friend got their Rok:Brgr burger with yummy bacon jam and parmesan truffle fries (that I obliged to share). Seriously, you could order any of their craft burgers and not be disappointed. They have awesome liquor menu and great craft beer on tap. I've heard they have great specialty drinks, such as the Rok Old Fashioned which they make with a bacon infused burbon but since I don't really like burbon I can't really attest to it's greatness. My only negative comment is that it was extremely hot inside the restaurant. I know it's south Florida in the middle of summer but we were sitting at the bar literally sweating (right along with the bar staff). They said the AC was on but with the door and bar window open we really couldn't tell. The Ft. Lauderdale Rok:Brgr location is always a fan favorite in my book. I always like to bring out of town friends and family here especially since it's in a great location, downtown Las Olas. I'll always be a repeat offender and huge fan of their great burgers!

    I love this place. 4.5 stars, only one small tiny area for improvement.It's our go to place for burgers in Fort Lauderdale. I've been here several times & have never been let down by the burgers. We've eaten here probably 4 times this year, and we're always seated quickly and the servers have been fantastic. As for apps, the lobster corn dogs are great, but pricey ($16 for 4). We had the jalepeno poppers last night and were impressed. Food comes out fast, so we usually order our drinks and app before our entrees. My personal favorite is the Fat Elvis burger (peanut butter jelly & bacon). Yes, it sounds repulsive but I have never had anything so delicious. My boyfriend usually will order whatever burger is on special for the night and has never been let down. These burgers are big & yummy! If you go on Monday, all the burgers are $10! My only "complaint" is in regards to their desserts. We've had their cheesecake on two separate occasions and each time the cheesecake is dry beyond belief and really had little flavor. Truth be told, it's a burger place not a dessert place so just skip dessert.

    3.5 stars but rounding down. Solid pub type place to go for burgers, but with a livelier atmosphere- just make sure you choose your burger wisely. My friend and I came in for a super later dinner after she picked me up from the airport, and ROK:BRGR is open until late. It was a Friday night, and 2nd Street was packed with all the bar hoppers. Although the gastropub was still busy when we got there close to 11pm, we were able to grab a table right away. We tried: -Lobster Corn Dogs (Four Dogs, Served w/Spicy Honey Mustard, $14, yelp.com/biz_photos/rok-… ): Eh, just ok. I couldn't taste too much lobster flavor, but I liked the exterior of the corn dog. However, I wouldn't order it again, unless they replaced the lobster dog with a regular hot dog. -Bacon Jam Burger (Creamy Brie, Maple Bourbon Bacon Jam, $15 + Sweet Potato Fries Substitute $2.00, yelp.com/biz_photos/rok-… ): I was debating between this one and the Drunken Pretzel, ROK:BRGR, Sweet Caroline, and Fat Elvis (this one sounded weird, but really interesting), but finally settled on the Bacon Jam since it won the 2012 "Burger Battle Fan Favorite Champion". Sadly, it was just ok- there wasn't enough bacon jam, but it mostly tasted like a regular burger. I wouldn't order this burger again, but the patty was cooked and seasoned well, and at least the sweet potato fries were crispy and good. Service was ok but we had to flag down our server a couple of times. I would recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a quick and casual meal, especially if you're looking for a burger. Parking can be tough, especially on a Friday night, but they do have a large lot if you don't mind paying for parking.

    Although it was somewhat busy on a big Saturday football game night, my friends and I got seated quickly, and received fast, attentive service. This was my first time at Rok:Brgr... But it definitely won't be my last! Every menu choice looked delicious, but I finally settled on the South Floridian burger, which is a beef patty with Brie, pork belly, and truffle aioli (and other standard burger fixings like lettuce, tomatoes, onions). It was PHENOMENAL!!! Maybe one of the best and generously sized burgers that I've ever had. You can upgrade the regular fries that come with your entree for $2 for truffle fries, which is what I chose. You can also get tater tots or sweet potato fries. Rok:Brgr also offers a long list of great beers. They have television sets all along the inside walls, so you can enjoy sports with good food. There is extensive seating outside as well, but the sidewalks will get crowded from the Fort Lauderdale bar hoppers. I highly suggest this meat eatery, and I look forward to returning during brunch sometime soon!

    Nice atmosphere and attentive service. My burger was dry and most of my sweet potato fries were burnt. Overall, it's a good place to go of you are just going to socialize, but are not very hungry.

    After seeing an incredible production of the musical Pippin at the Broward Center my parents and I were ready for dinner, and we decided to hit up ROK which has served them well as a post theater meal in the past. The idea of a well cooked burger with some delicious toppings and crispy fries sounded perfect, so we grabbed some seats outside seats and ordered a Cuban Burger, Lay's Potato Chip Crusted Fish and Chips, a kale salad, an order of hot wings, and one glass of cabernet. The service started out strong, but the kind of went downhill from there. I don't know why this happened because it seemed that of the 4-5 tables seated at the restaurant, he had a good handle of what was going on. He brought us our water, and the food arrived really quickly thereafter. Lets start with the burger itself, which I give 4 Stars on the Yelp Scale. This is a custom blend of chuck and short rib that creates a juicy but firm textured burger. There was a nice crusty sear on the outside of it, it was well seasoned, and while I ordered it medium rare, it came out a bit closer to a medium with a warm pink center. The Cuban part of the burger came from melted baby swiss, housemade pickles, plantain chips, a garlic aioli, and Ropa Vieja, which is a Cuban dish of beef simmered in a tomato based sauce until tender. The Ropa Vieja was actually the one thing I disliked about this burger combo. It was so salty, as if it had WAY over reduced. As a Cuban dish it's supposed to be a little bit saucy, tender, and well seasoned. Regardless, the burger was a solid entry, and had it been cooked properly I would have given it 5 stars. Unlike the burgers, I would pass on the wings here. 2 Yelp Stars for this dish. They were what I'd expect at a low end sports bar, garden variety at best, with soggy skin, barely warm to the touch, and sauce that tasted like it was from a bottle. Not what I what I thought I'd find at a spot in such valuable real estate in Ft. Lauderdale. The Fish and Chips gets a 3 Star rating because first, for the size of the pieces of fish that came with the order, there was no way it was cooked to order. It was definitely overcooked and felt like that it had been cooked and reheated to get to us. Also, the fries came out cold and soggy. The server did replace these with fresh fries, but those came out soggy too. Service gets 3 stars on this visit because the guy started off great but then sort of went AWOL. I mean the glass of wine arrived 5-10 minutes after our food did, and that's only after going to find him to tell him about the fries and ask about the wine. The lesson from all of this is that when at ROK: BRGR, just stick to the burgers. I'd go back for one of these bad boys but I'd order it a shade under what I typically like in terms of temp. I'd also read the reviews to see if there were some other appetizers and dishes that Yelpers recommend because theirs are usually spot on.

    Lunch at 3pm on Monday. Walked in told bartender I wanted to sit outside, she said server would be right out. Sat waiting for almost 10 min for a server although another server talking care of the other two tables outside never asked if i needed help. Placed appetizer and burger order. Appetizer, jalapeño poppers took about 15 min, not worth getting. Poppers were dark, slightly over cooked, too big for a single bite but too hard to bite down and break off, so in the first bite everytime the entire jalapeño came out of the batter. Got the South Floridian burger with pork belly. Very good flavored when you got all of the ingredients in a bite. The beef patty was large but the pork belly barely covered half the burger. Service overall slow, needs more attention

    BEST BRUNCH IN FT LAUDERDALE. Hands down! Came here last Sunday for my best friend's birthday brunch (best meal of the week, BTW), and had a blast! Parking may be a little tricky to find, but if you don't find street parking you are always able to park in one of the garages for roughly $5-$8 for the day! As soon as you walk up to the restaurant, you're attended by the hostess and if you're a girl, free mimosas till 3 pm!! We went around noon and only had to wait 10 minutes, we were a group of 5. They also have a live dj and allow dogs on the outside part! Don't forget to check in on yelp and take advantage of their one free drink special! I ordered a long island ice tea, and it was strong and delicious. In between all the mimosas they also brought complimentary biscuits for the table. For my main dish I got an avocado, egg, bacon, and cheese sandwich (forgot the name and its not on the online menu) which came with tater tots! D E L I C I O U S. Nuff said. Very flavorful and filling. Overall service was wonderful, the food surpassed my expectations, and the overall vibe of the restaurant was great. I have finally found my brunch "home" and I can't wait to go back!

    I went in for dinner on Thursday night before going to the show. I have eaten here many times and it's always great we sat outside and had katlynn as our server she was a delight. We always get the burgers usually no appetizers but she suggested the mac and cheese and told us she eats it everyday. I can tell you it was the best appetizer she could of told us to get, its to die for! The manger came out and checked on us and grabbed us some water while she was getting our other drinks, we were in and out just in time for our show.. Rok burger is very good with that when we go in before the show it always gets busy but we always get our food fast and it's always great!

    I won't deduct any stars for the fact that we were seated next to the most annoying woman in the world. She kept talking about how she needs to meet a man, but met a man and he was simply in the friend zone, but of course they just made out once, then watched a movie like best friends, but he's short and ugly so she can't date him, but she wants to meet a guy and that she has an open bed policy because she has a king size bed and it's so comfy and invited her friends friend to stay that night and what would his girlfriend say if he spent the night but only to sleep there nothing was going down. Dude....shut the hell up. So the place was PACKED on a Friday night but we managed to snag the last table. We started with some fried pickles. Always wanted to try them but unfortunately they were not that great. I had high hopes as I love everything fried and well, I love pickles. But the consistency of this was just weird. I ordered the morning glory burger. It was HUGE. The bread was great, the meat was thick and perfectly cooked to be juicy, but not under cooked, the toppings were super fresh. The egg was done perfect so it wasn't too runny, but just runny enough to make the inner kid in me a smiling buffoon as I soaked up the run yolk with the bun. The fries were really good. Not over salty - just right. The service was great, especially considering how busy it was. It did take a while to get the bill - which meant having to listen to this girls ramblings for a few more minutes - but it was understandable with the amount of people in the place.

    A great gourmet burger. Cooked as I requested, and great flavor. The sweet potato fries are soft inside and crunchy on the outside. The restaurant was full, but didn't had to wait too long for my food.

  • ivan G.

    Let me start by saying that the burgers are delicious and they're generous on the amount they give you. However, being my fourth time here, I can say that service is just sub-par. There has yet been a time that I've visited that our party has to wait less than 5 minutes before our waiter/waitress comes by for their first visit. Service is their downfall overall. Prices are justified for what you get and the food is good, but the service has lacked enough for me to second guess additional visits.

    My wife and I ate at Rok:Brgr in Ft. Lauderdale while we were on vacation. I had found out about it from searching for local restaurants in the area on Yelp. I skimmed through some of the reviews and photos posted by other 'Yelpers' and thought it looked like a great burger joint. We were traveling with our 1-year old son who dozed off just before we went inside and miraculously stayed asleep in his stroller through the entire meal. (Amazing considering the Rok:Brgr had 80's hard rock staples from Guns N' Roses, Motley Crue and the like playing throughout the restaurant ...lol) I ordered the 'Bacon Jam' burger and my wife went with the 'Classic' and Sweet Potato Fries. Wow! These burgers were amazing! The beef in both burgers was tender and fresh. You definitely have to eat these burgers over the plate or else the juices from it will end up in your lap. What amazed my wife and I about the burgers was that as big as they were, they were surprisingly light. We both felt satisfied without feeling overly stuffed afterward. My wife even commented that hers was the best burger she had ever had in her life! Before we left, I asked our waiter (who was very polite and helpful) how many Rok:Brgr locations there were. He mentioned another one in Miami and one or two additional locations that were planning to open in the area. I only hope as this local chain expands that they'll continue to maintain the same level of quality in the food for all of their locations. We would definitely go back!

    Well we had high expectations but in the end we were disappointed. We first ordered the fried pickles which were actually good. Unfortunately they gave us wet plates one of which had a hair on it. For the main course we ordered the classic burger, beet and goat cheese salad, and a Caesar salad. The burger was good but nothing special. The fries were stone cold so we didn't touch them. The goat cheese was deep fried and very heavy. Too much dressing on this salad. The Caesar was unimpressive and hardly touched. And finally everything was over priced. You can get better burgers and sides at BurgerFi, SmashBurger, and several others at a more reasonable price. I will say that the waitress was very nice as was the rest of the staff.

    Very disappointed tonight. We took our son after the theater for a delicious burger, minus the bun(Passover). The waiter, although friendly, was kind of lax. Water came quickly but a glass of wine came well after our food came. In fact, it came after my husband went into the restaurant to tell the waiter that our fries were soggy and ask for his wine. We ordered kale salad, chicken wings, fish and chips, and the Cuban Burger. The salad was good and the burger was tasty but barely had the topping that made it a Cuban Burger. The fish was over cooked. When the waiter finally brought the second batch of chips the only difference between the two batches was batch two was hot but not crispy. I guess the moral of this story is only order the burger.

    Love this place! Great atmosphere, The blue cheeseburger is to die for! They also offer great french fries and tater tots. If you get a chance to sit outside on a Friday or Saturday night it's great for people watching.

    The burgers were good but honestly nothing that great... I find the burgers to be a bit overpriced and the service was definitely not attentive and very slow. An ok place I guess but I would not go again.

    I always get sweet potato fries, and usually find regular fries meh, but honestly, go with the fries here instead- they are the BEST FRENCH FRIES EVER (while the sweet potato fries were kinda meh). Perfectly salted, perfect crunchy outside to squishy inside ratio. Pro tip: ask for some garlic aoli for dipping fries. YUM. Medium rare burger was a foodgasm. Soooooooo juicy and thick and PERFECT. Calamari was good, but I didn't care for the fried peppers that come in it, not a spicy fan. I just wish they offered some kind of dessert!

    First off, the service was excellent. We stopped in on a cold rainy weekday so the place was pretty slow. So we really got to talk to the bartender a good amount. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and craft beer list and even gave us a list of other bars and restaurants in the area to check out. The food was pretty good, but not outstanding. The crispy shrimp appetizer was really good but could have used a little more heat, it mostly tasted like mayo. And the burgers were good but my husband and I both ordered medium and they were definitely well done. But overall this place was pretty cool. I liked the decor and ambiance as well.

    Solid burger, was a lil messy for lunch - is all good though. Had a nice Porter beer & was gifted a second (care of yelp, due to my check in) not a bad spot - not gonna drop $25 a day on lunch here, but wouldn't oppose a 2nd or 3rd visit at another time in the future

    Great Burgers! Oh my god this place has the best burgers I've tried. My friend tried one with bacon, peanut butter and strawberry jam, can you believe it? A burger with peanut butter? And she liked it, in fact she said she would go again and habe the same again. Music is mainly rock, of course it's Rok Brgr, and service is good. I tried one with caramelized onions and a fried egg, I really liked it.

  • Leanna J.

    Rok: Brgr is definitely my Fort Lauderdale go-to for a good burger. On my most recent visit, I checked in on my handy dandy Yelp app and got a FREE glass of white zin. Nothing can convince me to give you a five-star review like a free glass of wine. Anyways, the burger that I ordered (the classic) was, as usual, delicioso. The bun was fresh and the burger was cooked medium, just as I had asked. Nothing's worse than asking for a medium burger and having it come back rare. This has never been my experience at Rok:Brgr. They always cook the burgers to your request. The fries are pretty tasty too. Not too much salt, but not too little either. The customer service, both at the bar and at a table, is friendly and efficient. Between the atmosphere and the great tasting food, I would definitely recommend Rok:Brgr to anyone in the area.

    I'm never displeased when I leave here. I frequented Rok Burger when a close friend of mine lived in Fort Lauderdale. We would come here to watch the basketball games and have drinks & burgers. The staff are great, but I would say my main compliant about here is that it's almost always crowded and there's a wait. But I guess that comes with the territory when you're a great restaurant. I love their chicken burger and the bacon cheeseburger. The meat tastes fresh, not like processed burger meat that you find at chain restaurants. I heard their apple pie is great too, and that the owner'a mother makes them herself at home. That's awesome 'cause I love apple pie and vanilla ice cream :)

    Nice people, good service and good quality...HOWEVER menu states the Putine is made w "cheese curds" but it's not...just melted cheese. Still good, tho. Beet salad is made w canned beets. The owner/manager states the beets are fresh and the curds are real. Nice and professional of him to respond. Maybe we went on a off day or maybe American cheese curds are diff than the Poutine curds you may be used to if you spend time in Canada. Either way. We had a good experience overall.

    Bad service, room temp beer. Ordered a stout and it was poured with no head whatsoever. On top of that, our beer wasn't even cold. For a pub, I would at least expect the servers to know how to pour a beer and for the beer to be served cold. I understand that some may not be familiar with stouts but that should be included in training.The burgers were big and flavorfull good but waaay too salty. After we received our food, the waitress didn't come back to check on us to make sure everything was ok or if we needed anything. The only time we saw the server after we got the food was after we were finished to deliver the check. Won't be returning.

    We went for the Sunday brunch. We were waiting for the rest of our party to show up so we decided to get some of the snacks (appetizers). Wife ordered the Lobster corn dogs (not really a corn dog fan) and I ordered the R.O.K. Biscuits (notice how I took the time to actually spell it with the punctuation and everything). The corn dogs weren't what I was hoping for. The corn dog part was decent enough but the lobster was minced and mixed with what tasted like a corn filler. Would have been better if it was just a tail with the corn dog batter on it. Lobster corn dogs:2/5. Now the R.O.K biscuits were a whole different story. They give you 3 honey butter biscuit "sliders" filled with bacon, cheddar, and short rib. When you bite it of course the first things you taste are the perfectly cooked sweet biscuit. You really could eat just the biscuit and be happy (thank God they bring the table a basket full to share like dinner rolls). The next thing of course is the bacon which is a perfect complement to the sweetness of the biscuit (and every food ever #baconlover) Before you even get a chance to appreciate the "baconness" you are drop kicked by the short rib. Like... I don't even know how to explain how good the short rib was. All I can say is that our table plotted how to kidnap the chef because of these biscuits. R.O.K. Biscuits: 7/5! Service:4/5

    My burger was great. No complaints there. It seemed liked most of the staff was friendly, but our waiter was not in that number. Unfortunate. I prefer to write great reviews about staff when I can. I'll give this place another chance. Looks like one of your better options for the Riverfront, too.

    Decided to try this place because of a groupon I found. I'm glad I found it because I loved it. I tried the Lebron James burger with the truffle fries. It was amazing, cooked to perfection. My sister ordered the Mac and cheese with short ribs and it was delicious. Can't wait to come back to try out different items.

    removing a star...partly bc i think management needs to evaluate their customer service. i know i may sound like a cheap ass here but lemme explain...their burgers will always be delicious...morning glory and some sweet fries and im golden....checking in on yelp a few weeks back meant a free well drink....now lets see how much can that cost a place, $2-$3? they would only honor one per table. fine. I let my sis have it. then when it came to closing the bill, i had a groupon...again only one promotion per table, so I was forced to pay for the $8?! well drink with my groupon. I left a 20% tip as i knew this was not the waiter's fault, but found this to be shitty service. it was a fri night and wasn't even that busy. you'd think they would handle things differently. wompwomp

    Awesome place! Met the new Manager Mike today who is really personable and cares about what the customers experiences are... Lacey was our server and she was right on point! Very friendly, and when she got busy, they had enough runners to help out so you are never out of anything! Love the DJ! and FREE mimosas WHAT WHAT? Yes for the ladies on Sunday free Mimosas until 3PM on Sundays! Absolutely made my day! Thanks guys! see you soon!

    Beware the 30% off offer. I checked in to claim the offer. The manager confirmed it but when the waitress brought our bill we were told that the offer is 30% off a particular hamburger (which we didn't order) and not available until January 1. Why is it available online now then? They gave us 30% off one of our entrees to compensate. I thought the offer was 30% off the entire bill. I learned that 'the yelp' is a hamburger not yet on the menu. LAME! Otherwise, the food was pretty good :)

    ROK:Brgr will rock your downtown day. Located by the tarpon and the tracks in Fort Lauderdale, ROK:Brgr offers a menu of hot deliciousness. Take stock in a variety of burgers and build your own options. Trade appetizer suggestions and then opt for their Mac and Cheese -yep it's sure to please. Sweet potato fries were wedges of tasty goodness, and our server was friendly on this Saturday afternoon. Grab a highboy or sit your butt down at the bar and eat it up. If you're near here, grab a beer and enjoy the good cheer. Is it football season yet?

    Wife and I visited on a rainy Monday afternoon to be greeted by a friendly and professional staff. Recommendations were Rok burger and Bacon Jam. I can only say that at first it was great, then it was just amazing! 10oz of fresh PRIME meat that we easily devoured! Sides of sweet potatoes fries and truffle fries only complimented the experience. Sunday brunch is also available and we will go back to endulge.

    So I am giving this place three stars but if I visited again it would maybe be a 4 or 5. We ended up here on a Monday which turned out to be $10 burgers. This was great. The service was great , the server recommended a beer that I ended up loving a coconut ale by a local brewery. She also let us know some tips to the menu about the fries etc. We started with the meatballs and I am not a fan of meatballs in general, but my dining mates were and I had one and it was good. Not too much salt though and I like salt. So back to the burgers, I asked if the King James was included in the deal because of all of the components they listed on the menu. american "kobe" wagyu, kurobuta pork belly confit, red onion marmalade, brie cheese, truffle aioli, brioche bun. I also noticed that on the back you could build your own and they offered different grades of beef. SO I checked with sever that the burger was 10 and she said oh yes. I get the burger and it was cooked to perfection. The pork belly was great, perfect quality of briw and the brioche was amazing. The problem I had is that I would bet that the beef was not Wagyu. It just had sort of a blah flavor. I am sure that they cannot serve wagyu for 10 bucks but that is why I asked. I would have spent the full price of 20 to have the beef I thought I was ordering. I also didnt get what was the marmalade, there were some sliced onions on the burger, no marmalade, and I did not taste any truffle aioli. All in all the burger was better than good and bordering on great, but it in no way had the components that it listed on the menu. I can understand why you would not be able to pull those components off for 10 bucks, but then charge full price and give me what I am ordering. I would maybe go back, but not to make a special trip. It would be a different review if they didn't cheap out on the burger. All in all I liked the vibe of the place, the beer was great and I liked the menu, I would just like to get what I am ordering, and I don't care about the discount price.

    Sat outside on a perfect day for lunch with my 7 year old son. Table was wobbly, but I fixed it with the plaque sitting on the table; gotta improvise! Music outside was also a bit loud, but I'm an old fart so I'm sure you young dudes will love it. Menu is more extensive than I'd expected, and a tad heavy for my modern tastes, but there were enough options to make it a good choice for lunch in the area. My son had the kids' sliders and fries, and he loved it. Fries were super crisp and piping hot. I ordered the veggie burger with a side salad (trying to keep trim), and it was well made and tasty. Red in color, as it has brown rice and beets in the recipe. Yum! Side salad was crisp and fresh. Will absolutely be back.

    Went to Rok:Brgr for a late Linner last night and can't say they disappointed. We got recommendations from our waitress who was really nice and went for the Prime Burger, their award winning, signature burger! At $20, it had all the works, Kobe beef, lots of bacon, cheese, grilled onions and lettuce and tomatoes!!! the works! Big, juicy, delicious burger! Paired with Truffle Fries and call it a day... We another burger topped with lobster meat, which was very tasty as well. Out of the 2, I personally liked the Prime burger more...we got a side order of sweet potato fries which were pretty good. If you're in the mood for a great ginormous burger, check out Rok:Brgr, you won't be disappointed!

    Was on the way to Las Olas from sailing and I see a cab with an advertisement for this place. I'm hungry as hell so a burger doesn't sound half bad. Ahhhhh! So glad I went. Cute little ambience in the place. You can sit inside or outside where they have tables and a few chairs at the bar (nice touch for this season of awesome weather). Had the "Cuban" burger which has ropa vieja in it. OHMIGOD. And the bestie had the "Morning Glory" which has a fried egg on top of the burger. Uh-mazing! Returned this past Saturday for my second visit and we tried a few appetizers. Everything was delish, from the lobster mac n' cheese to the mini corndogs and sliders to this thing that was like chips with chili and cheese (heart attack on a plate if heart attacks were delicious and something you really wanted). The drinks are also good and strong. Also, it helps the staff is attractive, especially some of the boys working behind the bar (hellooooo, Kendrick!). Hmmmmmmmmmm. Get over there already!

    Monday happy hour specials are the bomb!! $10 dollar burgers...What! What! Any burger on the menu! Can I get a What! What! Rok:Brgr offers greatly put together burgers that gets your attention everytime a waitress walks by to another table. Every burger that I've tried so far has not dissapointed me yet. The burgers are well put together and the toppings are incredibly tasty. Whenever I walk into downtown Fort Lauderdale, I always have the urge to walk into this establishment. The burgers are cooked perfectly to order and offers nice juicy finger dripiness goodness to every bite. Every burger has its own personality and its own character perfectly combined with its name. Can't wait to go back!

    My brother brought me to Rok Brgr. If I wasn't with him I would have never walked into it. It's basically a skinny one-bay bar, not poorly decorated, just not my type of place. We walked through to the back and found a nice table for four. Everyone who worked there were great, and truly showed that they cared about what type of experience you had. Like most restaurants today, I had to use an App to read the menu. This has become more of a norm as of late. The menu had a lot of choices chicken waffles, as well as some great looking salads, but I came here for a burger. I do not eat red meat often so I was hoping it was going to be worth it. I ordered the Classic with the standard fries while each one in my party ordered either the Rok or Classic with standard fries, sweat potato fries and onion rings. We all got medium rare burgers and it didn't take long at all to be impressed with what came out. Not only could you tell the meat was a high quality, but the buns were fresh and the mixture of standard fries, sweat potato fries and onion rings send everyone into a "I wanna try yours" frenzy. Big long, sweet potato fry slices cooked crisp were amazing. The onion rings were golden and flawless. The standard fries were done to perfection. Make sure you ask for extra mayo, ketchup and mustard. I understand why they give you the small cups (because of waste) but you may find yourself holding a huge juicy burger while waiting for more. I would have to say, if not the BEST, definitely one of the top 3 burgers I've ever had and the BEST in recent memory. Go to Rok Brgr, I promise you will not be disappointed. If so, give ME a bad review. Because of this place I promise NEVER again to judge a restaurant, but it's first impression. I will always go in and try. I would have hated to have missed this place.

    We were so excited to try this place and went because of the great reviews. We both ordered the veggie burger. The flavor was nothing special and worst of all it literally all fell apart and turned to mush. It was falling apart all over the place. The hand cut fries didn't even taste like they had salt on them. It was honestly the worst veggie burger I've ever had. We went late around 11pm on a Sat night so maybe it was just the timing..

    I always stick with the same thing - the Ahi Tuna Burger ("Riverwalk"). It is so delicious. It comes with wasabi mayo but I sub garlic aioli. Their onion rings are out of this world so I usually get them instead of fries. My friends have most frequently ordered and loved the "Sweet and Smokey" which comes with smoked maple cheddar, caramelized onions, smoked pepper bacon and bourbon BBQ. I understand the classic and "Black n Bleu" (with Bleu cheese and smoked pepper bacon) are also awesome. ESPN is always on and it gets crowded for Heat games. Monday is $10 burgers which is cool because some burgers are as much as $15-$16 otherwise.

    Planned a Friday night dinner with friends. Arrived early to make sure we had a table. Piece of cake. Walked in and had a table in a few minutes. I have been here before. The burgers are great. I ordered a 7 and 7 - whiskey and 7-up. We got lobster corndogs for appetizer. They are great. First time trying lobster in a corndog. The honey mustard was a good addition. My burger choice was the Rok Brgr.- being gluten-free they have the option to have your burger on a lettuce wrap. I ordered the sweet potato fries but they were out of stock due to the high demand. Hope they have them next time. Had a few of the loaded tater tots. Reminded me of napoleon dynamite ( youtube.com/watch?v=A7B0… ) I did not want to share them after trying them. Ordered a slice of rum cake for the table. I had my doubts about trying it being gluten free but fell into temptation. Took one bite. It was great. Our waiter was great. The food was ready quick. Returning soon.

  • Anthony C.

    TERRIBLE service... from a hospitality stand point this was by far the worse place I have ever been. Being a place that gets so much attention, the burgers were burnt and displeasing. A medium burger means juicy and pink in the center..... Needless to say it was dry and charred. There was over charging on the drinks and for a returning guest that asks for separate checks three times and gets one check that was wrong multiple times is unacceptable. I will never come back here again and me being a avid foodie I will never recommend this place.

  • Jen D.

    I'll have to agree with Terry L on this one from 7/6/14. I had high hopes for this place, but honestly I've had better burger and fries tasting experiences at BurgerFi and well, many other establishments throughout the U.S. Went in just after the lunch rush hour so it wasn't packed. Sat at the bar and split their Rokburger. There wasn't anything spectacular about the flavor and nothing about it stood out. My boyfriend is a burger aficionado, and he wasn't too thrilled about it either. We typically are on the same page about food, so I'm not surprised that he wasn't too into it. When you come to a place like Rok:Brgr where there are a lot of fancy/unique burger options, you expect the flavors to burst in your mouth even if it is just a plain 'ol burger. I'm a fry-fanatic, and I've had WAY better tasting fries and texture. The fried pickles were good, however. The bartender was super cool and friendly. Supposedly the place is a hit for Sunday Brunch and ladies drink free mimosas so I'm hoping to give them another shot on the off chance that this was just a bad day for them based on the average 4-star reviews.

    Alright, let me just get this out there now. I used to frequent Downtown Fort Lauderdale a lot and would see a thousand people sitting outside of Rok:Brgr. I've always been tempted to try their food not only because I wanted to see what the hype was about, but the name sounded cool. Then one day... Finally! I decided Rok:Brgr was the answer to my hangover cure! I ordered: The Morning Glory: YUM! A freaking fat juicy burger with a fried egg on top? Yes please! The fries: Meh. Just meh. I didn't like them too much, but then again I don't really like fries, period. So I ordered a side of loaded tots. Ding ding!!!! The answer to my crappy mood and pulsating headache! I didn't sit there and eat, so I couldn't exactly tell you how good the staff was. I actually had my food brought next door to a friend's bar and ate with my head resting on the bar table. Yes... I was THAT sick. So I'd like to thank this joint for providing me with that perfect burger we all crave the day after a wild evening. Oh! And now I know exactly why there are always a thousand people sitting and eating outside of Rok:Brgr!

    For my 500th Review, I choose you, Rok:Brgr. On a recent trip to Florida (for business) I took some advice from a client and visited this awesome little restaurant/bar. The Superb: Creative cocktails and awesome beer selection. I went with their spin on the Old Fashioned, but made with BACON INFUSED MAKER'S MARK. Bacon + Bourbon = Hooray The staff were friendly, funny, and on top of their game. Also, the front patio area is fantastic for people-watching. The Good: I had some fried pickles to start (decent) and followed that up with the Slider sampler. The sliders were bigger than I had expected, and had a nice presentation. The ground beef slider was overcooked, but that was countered by the delicious meatball slider. The third slide, a pulled pork concoction, was also delicious. The Horrid: Nothing! I'm thrilled I stopped in and I look forward to hitting this place again on my next trip to South Florida.

    Went for brunch this morning and a few things really stood out. The first were the unlimited free mimosas for ladies. Our waitress was over all the time filling up our flutes with the yummy (not too weak, not too strong) drink. My friends and I ate outside which was lovely, until a small monsoon came along. The staff handled the rain wonderfully! They moved people inside and most impressive-due to the torrential downpour, they allowed the canine diners inside the restraint to wait out the storm. Another plus about the experience was that while we were waiting for the rain to blow over, the waitress offered us more mimosas (even though we had already paid our bill). I appreciate how flexible the staff was with adjusting to the weather-the rain definitely didn't ruin the mood-it just moved the party inside. Great brunch!

    This is the best brunch spot in fort laud! Being a local it's so great having wonderful service by people who truly care and food that is always wonderful! Never have had a bad meal there. Bottomless mimosas for ladies on Sunday brunch is also a huge bonus, although they take care of the guys too :) We got caught outside in a rainstorm and the manager, Mike, and server, Lacey, took it in their own hands accommodating us for whatever we needed. We love Rok Brgr !!!!!!! (especially the Elvis Waffles!)

    RB may be a bit overhyped, but it's still good and worth at least one try. The service is pretty decent, not amazing but not bad either. The ambiance is typical Himmarshee where you'll get a blend of 20-somethings mingling with the downtown business lunch crowd and a whole 'lot of drinking going on. Music can be loud during busier times, so this is not the place to have important conversations. Lots of interesting things on the menu. My first visit had us trying the mini chili dogs which were excellent. High quality ingredients that really stand out, but it's still just a chili dog. The burgers are good, they're not life-changing, but they're good. Quite an array of options on their signature sandwiches, and then there's the build your own. The first time I tried their prize-winner and it was...a bacon cheese burger. Nothing amazing, but very good. The second time I went a little more specialized and had the Southwestern which was great with those smoky poblanos. People rave about their fries, they're okay. The poutine was good but maybe just not my thing. The truffle fries I couldn't tell had been "truffled" in any way, just seemed soggy with some parmesan. The sweet potato fries, though, nice and thick and crispy, those I'd go back for and I'm not even a big SP fan. So overall I'd have to say it's good once in a while when you don't mind dropping more money on a burger than seems reasonable. You're paying for quality ingredients like Kobe beef and Nueske's Bacon (which the bacon is totally worth it, but I'm a biased Wisconsinite).

    One of the best dining experiences I have EVER had. Met up in Las Olas with some friends and chose to eat here! I must begin by saying, the service throughout the night was AMAZING! Our server Marco Zapata was definitely one of the best servers I have ever had. He offered suggestions, waited while I changed my mind at least six times (I can be a little like Meg Ryan in 'When Harry Met Sally' sometimes.. (sigh) can't help it, this is ME! Soooo we started off with ordering drinks. Our table had the classic mojito, the mango mojito and I had the Southern Sweet Tea!!! AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! I'm not a drinker but really, really enjoyed this beveraged!!! The food: First off, the burgers are huge! I had the Free Bird (healthier option in my eyes) with sweet potato fries; the other ladies had the Classic Burger and the Wings. My burger was soo delicious! I'm getting a silly grin on my face just thinking about it... The Chicken Wings were covered with bourbon bbq sauce and were also very good! The Classic is an instant favorite in my book if I'm ever not feeling adventurous but still want an amazing burger! Marco, our server not only came by to check on how things were and to offer anything if we needed, but he chatted with us for awhile and indulged in our stories!!! Good Times!!!! Can't wait to go back!

    I was hopeful with the ambience until half way through dinner it turned into joe blow sports bar. When I complained it was too loud, they said someone had complained it was too low. Totally ruined the atmosphere and food for me. I took the food to go but at that point I was so ravenous I just wanted food. Pretty much ruined my date night. After paying 6 dollars to park and buying overpriced food and drink, my husband will definitely be twisting my arm to get me within 10 feet of that place.

    Oh, Rok:Brgr! I wish I could give you 5 stars but your service blows. There are 2 bartenders that know their stuff but the others are very nice but inexperienced. If there is any bit of a rush, they're lost. Rok:Brgr is located in Downtown Fort Lauderdale on 2nd St (Himmarshee area). My husband and I frequent Rok:Brgr because it's walking distance from our home and we are also VIP members (promo from 2012). This gives us happy hour prices all day and one of the main reasons we choose Rok over the other restaurants on the block. While I believe Rok:Brgr is over priced, They do offer deals that helps us get the chance to go more often. On Monday's they offer all their signature burgers for $10 (usually $16-$20). I usually get the Riverwalk which is an Ahi Tuna (frozen not steak/filet but still decent) burger. The Brioche bun is what makes it but if I'm trying for a healthier meal, I switch that out for a lettuce bun. Their spinach dip is ok once you get under the hunk of cheese on top. The cheese is too thick and can't be broken with a chip. I suggest they use shredded instead or nothing at all. Their fried pickles are good.

    Best sweet potato fries ever! I stop buy just to have them. Burgers are really good and the lobster corndogs are fried to perfection. The lobster mac and cheese is a must try. Service is ok.

    Going for the big 5-star stamp for Rok. Between the idyllic outdoor seating (that discouraged smoking), the incredibly awesome mountain-of-meat burger that was juicy and slathered with spicy hot chipotle sauce and jalapeno, the humongous and to-die-for onion rings (more like onion tires), and our server who was a ninja in a former life, the entire experience was a BIG win; perfect for a lunch after a bug smasher flight into FLL from Tallahassee. There is a reason that Rok has so many reviews with many stars. They are *everything*.

    I used to come here quite often but after having a really bad experience I hadn't been back in awhile. So last night I decided to give it a second chance. There were some good things and some bad things. First when we were going to be seated within the restaurant clearly something had been burned in the kitchen because there was smoke all throughout the dinning area. However the hostess was very accommodating and put us outside. I had asked for blue cheese on my burger and when it came the burger had brie on it (PS don't recommend that). However since it had taken so long for our food to come out I just rolled with it. When our check came the waitress had rung in blue cheese (i was charged extra for it) and the kitchen is the one who messed up. The service was good the food was OK, but the kitchen was really off. Wrong order and old fries.

    I went here twice in about 3 days. I love the burgers. The new one they have with the peanut butter is amazing. Yes, it may sound weird, but come on you need to be adventurous in choosing food. It is well worth it. The other one I got was the one with fig jam, which is also good. The onion rings are really good too, since wherever I go I always have to try onion rings. I am usually disappointed but not here. If you can sit outside I would highly recommend that, as it is awesome for some people watching. Next time I go I am getting the Mac & Cheese, which from afar looks good. The place isn't that big so when it gets busy you may be waiting but when I went both times we never had to wait and the place was pretty packed. I will probably be back many times.

    Best burger I have had in Fl, hands down. If someone knows of a better one I'd love to know about it. I tried the Blue Cheese burger, and as stated it was Absolutly incredible. Atmosphere is also great for a date night. Can't wait to go back.

    Oh what a dilema.... it's like a battle royal between the food, the service and the oops stuff that I don't know who to blame... a remaking of "the good the bad the ugly" THE GOOD: These are the biggest 10 oz burgers I ever had; seasoned and cooked perfectly. It was also plenty juicy (and not overly juicy that it turns the bun to mush). The regular fries were great; the sweet potato fries were better (big wedge cuts).The table by us had loaded tater tots that we wished we ordered. Another table had a caesar salad and it looked great too. Overall, food was easily FIVE STARS THE BAD: (1)The table top was super wobbly; you can see a bunch of added screws making it evident that they are aware of the crappy condition (they need to replace the damaged table). (2) We ordered our meal the same time as the table beside us and then watched them eat an appetizer and then share a salad and then saw them enjoy their burgers. I inquired about the delay in getting our food and I get an "I'll check on that" but no apology... even after the food came no one bothered to say sorry for the delay (doesn't anyone know common sense to at least acknowledge an error). THE UGLY: No lock on men's bathroom door so every time the door opens, everyone outside can see us guys peeing in the peek-a-boo urinal. The only option is to use the handicapped stall (which has it's own sink, but no soap or paper towels for the disabled). THE PART WHERE THE GOOD GUY GETS SHOT: Our bill arrived, we handed over the credit card and waited... and waited... 10 minutes later, we're told the credit card machine is being rebooted and it would be another minute and we waited... and waited... Another 10 minutes later, we're now told the whole system is being rebooted and could be a 2 minutes or as much as 15 minutes but strongly suggested that we cash and pointed to the ATM on premises (no thanks to crazy ATM fees and I wasn't carrying cash), so we waited... again... Another 20 more minutes goes by and we finally get the slip to sign. FORTY MINUTES TO PAY ! ! ! 40 ! ! ! NO APOLOGY FROM SERVER ! ! ! AND NO MANAGER APOLOGY ! ! ! Understand not completely their fault if the credit card system went down, but the respectable move would have been to apologize, possibly even comp a drink or dessert for the extended wait... CUSTOMER SERVICE NEEDS A BOOST ! ! ! Overall, love the food and service is decent, staff was friendly, but really would have appreciated an apology for the food delay AND the 40 minute credit card delay (it's a no-brainer common sense thing to do). FINDING IT: look for the "burger bar + gastropub" sign if walking thru Himmarshee because you can't see the Rok:Brgr sign (high up on the building).

    We went to this Gastro Pub looking for something different to grace our pallet . There was no wait for us to be seated . This restaurant was quite quaint but very clean and courteous . The decor and lighting was simple but for all eyes to love. Bathroom was very clean and well stocked with tissue and soap .Waitress at times seemed a bit rushed and flustered but she in our opinion did the best she could do. The music choice was so chill and well appreciated. My order consist of Truffle burger and Chicken and waffle with bacon and super sauce.After the wait we were served and this was nothing to write home about. The food totally lacked flavor , ie salt,pepper, etc. This was a total upset and the waffles were to sweet . This restaurant has been over rated and is not by any chance a spot to dine twice. Once was to much and twice would be torture .

    An afternoon stop at Rok:Brgr, although I'm not a burger eater, I had been there one time before and had their loaded tater tots which was amazeballs. Needless to say, Rok:Brgr and I have had a rendezvous long overdue. It happened to be happy hour, which certainly put a smile on my face. Firstly, I ordered the Hibiscus Tea Cocktail, it was so tasty, delivered to me in a cute mason jar. We decided not to do a starter because the burgers looked huge and it was only lunch after all. I ordered the Birdman and my guy ordered the King James. I took a second glance at the drinks menu and got the Cucumber cocktail - freaking delish! The Birdman: super mouthwateringly good grilled chicken, with black bean and sweetcorn which was secured to the chicken with chipolte gouda, topped with crispy bacon laced with peppercorns. Holy mother of chicken! I added the smoked ranch - It was incredible, it was humongous and it was entirely satisfying. The King James - from the mouth of a burger man "This is orgasmic". Yeah I was a little jealous of the burger in that moment, but just staring at it from across the table, I understood. Thick patty topped with pork belly, brie, red onion marmalade and a touch of truffle aioli. It was large and in charge... and quickly devoured, rightly so. Accompanying these fine dishes was the house fries which I have to say were fresh, tasty, and the perfect compliment. So to take advantage of the happy hour we topped our lunch off with a couple more drinks, Wells were 2 for 1, and I ordered the Rokberry (blakcberry and acai) cocktail, also super yummy. Overall, this place deserves all the accalade it can get. Good location, funky vibe, phenomenal dishes, and good specials. This place is a 5 star joint in my book.

    Overall food was good, I do have 1 gripe. I have never attended a brunch in my life until this past Sunday. Two hour wait for a party of 6, when we were told it'd be approximately 1-hr. That got me a little sauced, but we were celebrating with friends so I let it slide. Everything was overall pretty good for gastropub fare. My problem was with one of the brunch signature menu items. The chicken and waffles. The chicken was prepared very well, moist on the center with just the right amount of crisp without being overbearing (not too crazy on the batter either, which is a good thing). The waffles on the other hand where nuked (like literally microwaved) or under-prepared or whatever they where. I kept my enthusiasm up, with every bite on this $15 plate of Chicken and waffles I kept going. I started slowly realizing I wasn't enjoying the food so much. The waffles were soggy as f**k. Like I just nuked them for 3 minutes and put some awesome chicken on them soggy as* waffles. Mix that with whipped cream, hot just fried chicken, and you get a super super soggy waffle(s). The waffle should mirror in true fashion the chicken, soft/moist on the inside, nice crunch on the outside (not too much, not too little). We're playing a texture game here, not just flavor profile, but the party in my mouth when Chicken and Waffles are shoveled in. That really just did it for me, it was so disappoint. Yes, disappoint. Can't even type in past-tense or correct English for the fact of how disappoint I was. Ok, now that I'm done with the waffle rant, everything else was pretty good. Our server was very attentive with a Sunday brunch rush, she was on-point. I mean getting drinks before I realized I was even empty. The hash was pretty good, the shrimp tacos where awesome, lobster corn dog, basic burger (don't know the official name), short rib biscuits, and their amazing blueberry pancakes (those pancake-y morsels of goodness are amazing). Let me start my next part with a little back story. I'm not a pancake guy. I eat them if I have to or if they are there and I'm hungry. I don't actively search out pancakes, my flavor spectrum tends to stay in the savory region. I make an exception for Chicken and Waffles. The pancakes at rok:brgr where like pieces of crack rock. The whipped cream and maple syrup where there along with this amaze-balls blueberry preserves. They were so thick, fluffy, and luscious. Just glorious pancakes. The free mimosas for the ladies was pretty cool, minus the OJ tasting funky. The wait was actually a good thing, wife and I ended catching up with friends during the 2 hour wait. I'm typically a happy-go-lucky reviewer, but f*cking up chicken and waffles is a serious offense in my book.

    Had the appetite for something close to home made by my office so I swung over and had the Mom's Meatloaf and started off with the Spinach dip with a glass of lemonade (refillable). The Spinach Dip was really good, not usually a fan of it however, this spot makes it really good. Mom's meatloaf was really good today and is served with great and fresh mashed potatoes. To close, had their brownie. Overall the perfect way to end an overall awesome dinner.

    The appearance has been made and it was a memorable one for sure. My husband and I decided to stop in and kill some time before we went to the museum yesterday afternoon. We decided to sit outside since it was getting a little crazy with people overindulging on mimosas and the band was playing inside for brunch. Also, there was more room for the stroller since our son was with us as well. The weather was somewhat suitable for the first half of the visit. It poured the last half and had to go under the cover next door. The brunch menu is excellent. I wish I could have tried everything that was offered. The restaurant offers bottomless complimentary mimosas for the ladies. Yes, please! Give me, give me, give me ;) When I settled for the Hangover Sandwich Part 2, I knew I made the right choice. Meatloaf, bacon, cheddar cheese, fried egg, and ketchup between two slices of ciabatta bread. Damn, damn, damn delicious. The tots that came on the side were crispy and yummy. I was unable to eat all of my meal because of the inclement weather and it got wet before we could even put in the takeout box given to us by our waitress. Luckily, my husband was able to finish his meal in time. He enjoyed the two eggs any style with country potatoes and bacon. It was cooked perfectly according to his taste buds. Our waitress was super sweet. She came rushing out and checking on us to make sure we were good with our food. Unfortunately, the staff had to get all of the tables cleared of silverware when it started to rain really hard. It was a mess and not a good day to be outdoors. We also heard that the place flooded on the inside, which I definitely was glad we were next door waiting it out. Our son didn't seem to mind it one bit and he got excited during all the chaos. We're definitely be taking him back in the future to show him where he survived his first thunderstorm.

    We came here 3 years ago for the first time. It was great! Very good bear selection and affordable good wine list too. Burgers are awesome and they serve it rare or medium rare with a hot center. They know what they are doing. Fries look cut in the kitchen. We had dinner here 10 times and most of them when we were living in Miami. Now we are close. In one of our previous visit we also had sweet potato fries. And yesterday I had the truffle ones. All good. I have to say I remember more flavor (intensity) in the toppings from our previous visits and yesterday a friend ordered the meatloaf and it wasn't moist. Buy it was a very good dinner. We are talking here about $16 to almost $20 burgers "upgrading" sides. My husband changed his fries for a "sad" salad. But his tuna burguer was very good. I wish they read this review because what was really awesome of this place was being very flavorful. I think the maight be loosing it if they listen people with a more basic palate. "Bring back the flavor" specially in $100 Burguer Dinner for 3 (no appetizers neither desert)... Good service.

    When this place first opened, it was somewhat unique and you could perhaps justify overpaying for branded burgers. But now you can get a fancy "gourmet" burger just about anywhere, so why deal with Himmarshee and the rude, amateur service you get at this place? These guys also own Taco Craft and Public House so you can interpolate the food from your experiences without having to try all 3.

  • Alexii N.

    I don't see what all the fuss is about. The burgers, while they all sound terribly inventive and delicious on paper really do not stand up to their descriptions. I feel that the quality of the ingredients they are using is sub par, and the presentation is sloppy- to say the least. The meat is ok, the bun, not even worth mentioning. French fries and other sides are nothing special wither, and service is boarding on negligent. Lots of other places to eat on that strip, this place just isn't one of them for me.

    An otherwise lower star rating is being bumped up for 3 reasons: the quality of the food, DJ and the mimosa drink special (free and unlimited for ladies, and $4 for men). I wish someone would tell them that dining out is more than that though. Customer service was lacking, and I had the distraction of good company and laughs. I've never seen a more sour-faced manager, responsible for helping to set the tone of a good time. The lobster serving in the Lobster BLT was a nice helping, but the bread pairing was "all the way" wrong. Hopefully, people look past the pictures to actual reviews. Oh, and I wouldn't order the salty deviled eggs. Gag! I feel as if I satisfied my sodium intake for 2 days. Apparently, it's not just me who feels this way. While there, I saw 2 groups of people walk away angry. I'm not sure what their stories were, but again, a bad reflection on the restaurant.

    Just was here for the first time and I assure you it won't be the last. The staff is friendly, the ambiance is easy going, and the place is tailor made for kicking back. Now onto the burgers. I had bacon and bleu cheese with carmelized onions and it was delicious! The burgers are about a half pound after cooking, so you get what you pay for. There is mac and cheese, fish and chips and enough adult beverages to get your social on . The place is cozy, just past the Riverwalk entrance, sidewalk and inside seating. Worth going at twice just to get another meal you might've wanted the first time but put off for the awesome burger you ordered!

    This place has a layback environment. Servers are nice. I had the threesome fries set. The parmesean truffle fries were amazingly delicious. The regular fries were cut just right. The sweet potato fries were just the right amount of crisp outer shell and soft inside. They had the football game on a sat night.

    ROK:BRGR. Throw your diet plan out the window and get ready to take a stroll down Chubby Lane where all the Fatties hang out. Let's face it folks, Gastropub = Fattening food. Don't come here expecting tofu and steamed veggies unless you like your tofu and veggies deep-fried, drizzled with truffle oil and fried again. They do offer salads, but who goes to a gastropub and orders a healthy salad (WTF is wrong with you LOL). With that said, Gastropubs are those places where I go when I have a hankering for food that is as bad for you as it gets, but oh so comforting and delicious! Been to ROK:BRGR a few times. All times were just A-OK. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Inside is a bit dark and dirty. I always get a sticky feeling when I rest my elbows on the table (ew). Outside is great for people watching, albeit a bit loud and crazy when it gets crowded on a Friday at lunch time or happy hour. Expect to wait for your food during peak times. I wish I could say that ROK:BRGR was a 5 star home run, but it's just not as good as some other gastro-places I've visited. I've had the truffle burger which consists of baby swiss, exotic mushrooms, caramelized onions truffle oil drizzle and truffle aioli - very good! Go the extra mile and get the truffled fries too! Sadly when I've deviated from the burgers, I've been slightly let down. I tried the tuna tacos but the fish just seemed slightly stringy and off. I tried the fish and chips with lays potato chip breading - the same thing happened. The coating was delicious and the cod tasted decent, but was a bit overcooked. They have a decent beer selection, but I've been served warm beer (Blue Moon) here on several occasions which is a big no-no in my world. I ordered the poutine once which is pretty damn good, but you'll need a consult with your cardiologist after just a few bites. But hey, that's what we are here for, to clog some arteries! ROK:BRGR offers some great specials including the $11 lunch box special (traditional burger, fries and a soda) as well as Burger Mondays, Wine Wednesday (1/2 off bottles of wine) and a Sunday brunch with free mimosas for the ladies with live music. They must be doing something right because they just opened another spot in Gulfstream Park. Take it from me, skip the fish and stick with the burgers.

    I looooooovvveee Rok Burger! In my opinion, they have the best bacon cheeseburger, aka Rok Burger, I have ever tasted. I have tried other joints, but if I am craving a burger, head down to Rok burger. I love their truffle fries and Lychee Martini. Anyone who has ever accompanied me to this establishment always in up falling love. I would recommend visiting their Sunday brunch since the menu is different.

    Have been hearing amazing things about brunch here, so decided to try it. Hostess was nice and escorted us to a table in the back by the kitchen. Shortly thereafter our waitress, who had a less than sunny disposition, took our order. Seated next to us was a party of four who apparently we're friends with an employee of the restaurant who may be the busboy, but I couldn't figure out what his job was since he didnt do it. In fact, he decided to sit on the booth seat next to his friend and basically on my lap. He was leaning his elbows on my table and invading my personal space. I kept my moth shut initially at the request of my dining mate. However, when our meal arrived and he only made himself more comfortable, I had enough. In fact, his elbow went into my burger. I asked him to move and he relocated. My primary issue with this lies in the fact that he was rude and multiple waitresses and other employees walked by and saw it and didn't bat an eyelash. I can't say I'm particularly motivated to return or recommend this place again.

    Not worth it at all. The only good thing about it was a sweet waitress who was very helpful and attentive but not our server. Our server was Caitlin. She was nice and smiled when at our table but she was mainly in the back or on the kitchen, if not chatting up the manager. The manager is part of the big problem. We ordered the fried pickles, which were of course a bit greasy but hey, they're fried and were good. I liked the smoky ranch that accompanied it as well. For our main course, my husband ordered the Wild Turkey Burger. Unfortunately it came out a bit on the luke warm side but the bigger problem was, was that it was dry and really tough. My beet and goat cheese salad was good, a bit heavy on the dressing but still okay. We then informed our server of the issue with the turkey burger. She kindly offered something else or to have a new one made. At this point my husband had lost the desire for any burger. Now here's the big problem. When the server went to the manager about the issue, we overheard the manager not only be dismissive but go on to talk smack and mock the issue. Not only that but he never came over to the table to see how we were doing or even to address the issue or apologize for it. He seemed more concerned with chatting up the girls, as did the chef on duty at the moment, who could be seen from the kitchen entrance. I couldn't see why there was complete and utter disregard considering the only other table was of another chef and her family. She actually smiled and remained professional despite having personal time with her family. The bathrooms weren't too clean considering it was a Thursday ( Sept. 3) before dinner. That was forgivable but the lack of professionalism and poor standard of hospitality was a major turnoff. I've worked on every side of the industry from the bottom to management to family business of my own. I hope they clean up their act as I am sure this is not up to par with their corporate standard, or anyone's standard. Thank you to the young lady who helped us in the beginning. So much for having our good bye gathering here. The 2 stars were only for the sweet, informative server who helped us. Wish I knew her name but she had a head band and waited on the female chef and her family. Everything else would not have been worth it.

(OK I can't keep that up for the entire review or else the left side of my brain will short circuit and smother the right side.) If you want to celebrate the seven-figure sale of the tech company you just sold to Facebook, indulge in the $16 South Floridian pork belly burger with a side of $16 lobster mac & cheese and wash it all down with a $30 Belgian beer. There's also a pretty decent $13 veggie burger that was good but tasted just a bit off. I think they accidentally substituted some dollar bills for lettuce because they've gotta be swimming in piles of money back there like Scrooge McDuck.

    The food was tasty. I had the Tuna Tacos. The waitress told me they were small but I was still not prepared for the three, three inch tacos that arrived. They're very cute and pretty tasty but very small! My husband had the Pretzel Burger with Truffle Fries. It was the best burger I've had in a long time! Great flavors! They have nice fans and misters outside which made for a comfortable dining experience. And the people watching was great!

    Every ones in a while a place or in this case a burger comes into your life and impacts you in the best way possible. I'm talking about the Rok Burger's Black and Bleu! But before I get into all that deliciousness I would like to start off with the entire experience. We decided to sit outside due to the location right on the strip. The hostess sat us down rather quickly and was attentive. The inside is small but cozy. This gastropub type restaurant offers a nice variety of craft beers both on tap and bottles. I love beer and they had all my favs. You are able to decipher them on the menu. For the appetizer we ordered the filet mignon Mac and cheese with lobster corn dogs to compliment them. OMG, I can taste both appetizers and it makes my mouth water. Ok, the main event! I'm sure there are enough burgers to please everyone's palette. We opted for the black and bleu ordered medium. Yes because I love pink in my burger it adds to the natural flavors of the meat and who doesn't need some red meat every now and then! Cooked to perfection! Mouth watering mixed with applewood bacon and bleu cheese left my taste buds jumping in a frenzy! Will definitely be back but before I will sure to keep burger hunting just because I love burgers!

    Went last night with a few friends. Got seated quick because it wasn't so busy last night. While we were waiting for the rest of our party to come, we ordered an appetizer. We got the lobster corndogs. Pretty good but $14 for 4 of these little things is kind of pricy, but it's lobster so I guess it has to be. It came with honey mustard for the dipping sauce. I think the sauce masked the lobster flavor a bit, but it was still pretty good. We were so hungry that reading the menu made our mouths water. Everything sounded so good. So then the rest of our party came and we ordered burgers: South Floridian, Morning Glory, Sweet Caroline, and I got the Truffle burger and I asked for truffle fries instead of the regular fries. Each one of us thoroughly enjoyed our burgers and I loved the truffle fries. Even though the food was great, I am giving only 4 stars. Why? Because our waiter was a dick. The guy seemed like he didn't want to be there and had asked us if we wanted lettuce, tomato, and onion on our burgers. I said yes and so did my boyfriend. My boyfriend also asked for jalapeños and avocado. He was writing it all down, but when our food came out, there were none of the add-ons that we had wanted. BUT WE SAW HIM MOVING HIS PEN AROUND ON HIS PAD LIKE HE WAS WRITING IT DOWN! We think he was just pretending. We decided to just eat the burgers without our add-ons and it was still awesome, however it would've been more awesome if I got my lettuce and tomato. :( We made sure to check our receipts to see if we got charged for the things we didn't get and we didn't get charged so it's alright. But still! So we're definitely coming here again. Just hope that our next waiter isn't a dick and actually gets what we want. I want to try everything on the menu, but my truffle burger was sooo good so I don't know if I have enough willpower to choose something else!

    So after coming here a few times now and getting to know the place a little better I just wanted to update my review on Rok's customer service. Usually known for their lack luster service but awesome burgers, I can say that I have never had any bad service. Call it luck of the draw, or an off day or maybe Rok has really worked on building a better reputation for themselves. Either way, quality service should not go unnoticed. Came to Rok a few days ago with a dozen friends from the Bay Area to devour some beastly burgers and naturally I knew this place would not disappoint. As usual, plenty of the guys ordered the King James and they tackled it well, even throwing a fried egg on top. Since I've reviewed the James already my next conquest would be the Black and Bleu - crumbled bleu cheese, smoked pepper bacon, and caramelized onions. Another great tasting burger but the flavors were expected, I'd still choose their Bacon Jam - creamy brie and maple bourbon bacon jam, as my go to burger. Also had the opportunity to finally try the Lobster Corn Dog and their Lobster Mac and Cheese and both were excellent. Our server for the night was Tai, and she took care of us very well making sure all of us had everything we needed. She kept a smile on her at all times and dealing with a big group I know that can be hard. She even suggested trying dessert since they have a new pastry chef working the kitchen. My friends grabbed all 3 to try. The Key Lime and Bread Pudding served in mason Jars were rich and creamy, but my favorite had to be the Giant cookie served with milk. This cookie should only be eaten with a party of four or more and lucky for us we had 12 people. This cookie was thick and rich and was a cross between cookie and brownie, no wonder this was served with a giant glass of milk. A good time overall and nice to see a restaurant care about building on its relationship with their customers.

    I must say I'm picky about eating burgers because they have to be just right and this place totally nailed it! The size of the burger is huge! Very filling and the meat is perfectly cooked to temperature desired and the seasoning in the patty was on point. I must say I was very happy with my selection and so was the rest of my party including a picky vegetarian who was satisfied with his choice. I had some margaritas not the best and pricey $10 each and very small mason jar but because of the area I guess that's expected. The service was ok I ordered my sons food first and was the last one to be served, we were told they dropped his order so they had to make a new one but I don't buy it because we ordered it with the appetizer and it didn't come until after our food arrived. My one pet peeve is to serve the kid first cuz they are always hungry and impatient and if he's happy the parents are happy as well. Parking is a pain we went Friday night and paid $10 for parking to make out life easier. Yes we are planning to go back because the food was that good and hopefully my son has a better experience.

    This is one of those places that has awesome food but not the best service. I came here with a friend for lunch on a Friday and it wasn't even super packed, yet the service was slow. I came by myself to get a table while my friend parked the car. There was no hostess on duty which was fine. Either a manager or a waiter asked me how many in my party and if I wanted to sit outside or inside. I said 2 and outside-and waited at least 10 minutes before my waitress came over. We went ahead and ordered our meals and drinks at the same time. Good thing we did because it was a good solid 30 minutes to get our food and we only ordered them medium, not well. I ordered a pomegranate martini which was pretty good and enough to give me a mild buzz-2 would have been an inappropriate level of lunch drunk. My ahi tuna burger was delicious and perfectly cooked even though it took way too long. The Rok burger my friend ordered was awesome according to him and only $12 on lunch special on Fridays. The fries were crispy too but I was too full to finish them and ended up boxing most of my food. I would come here again but might sit at the bar. Our waitress kaitlynn was great and apologized for the slow service and was good at keeping my water refilled and got our check split perfect. I just think the kitchen was super slow today. The manager came by to see how we were which I also appreciate. I'll be back-this is a little gem that's hard to find but worth it.

    What a great spot that serves large portioned meals that'll keep you satisfied. We were in Fort Lauderdale for the weekend, so we decided to check out this burger spot based on the recommendations of friends. My friends and I arrived as a big group of 12 on a Sunday night. Thankfully we were able to find seating quickly and I were greater by a delightful young lady named Tal who was our server. As I stated earlier the portions were huge, I ordered the LeBron James (one of the highly recommended burgers along with the D-wade) with an egg. One of the benefits of Rok: burger is the interchangeable options that you can put ontop of your burgers. Overall I was pleasantly pleased, and highly satisfied with this Rok: burger. TAL was an amazing server who gave us great energy and managed to take care of every single one of my friends and our large group. The environment is entertaining and fun. So on a warm evening, like there always is in Fort Lauderdale, it's a great location to just hang out listen to some great music and have some good food. I highly recommend Rok: burger. I guarantee you will leave here completely satisfied and full.

    Good burger, fries are great, cool feel to the place. Was here for lunch but for dinner I imagine the vibe is more lively. Full bar.

    Loud! That was my first impression. Too loud for a dining place... especially during lunchtime hours. They had a DJ in there playing good music... however turn it down a decibel or 2. Had to wait 40 mins for a table. Usually that would seem excessive but there was a 5k going on that day and the starting/ending point was right in front so there were tons of people. Once seated the hostess was nice and fairly attentive, until the end when she kinda of forgot about us a few times. No biggie though. As for the food: Not much in the way of vegetarian items. I wanted to try the mac and cheese but it came with bacon. I guess they are pre-prepared and removing the bacon was not an option. My meat eating tablemates got a pot of it though. Looked tasty! The poached egg on top didn't look appetizing though. Would have been more visually stimulating and just as good with a fried egg. We got the Kale Salad. It was very... kaley! The dressing was good, and the Candied nuts on top were excellent and the tangerine sections were great... In fact everything was except the kale. It could have used a finer dicing/chopping. Kale tends to be tough and slightly bitter, especially when raw, so mincing it would have resulted in a better tasting and easier to eat dish. Or mix in some other greens to offset the kale some. Now for the veggie burger. That damn thing was AWESOME. They make them in house and they are made with beets among other things. Trust me though, you will like it even if you don't like beets. They are diced really fine and lend a great texture. It was large and moist and had a red color from the beets. It really was a great burger. Add some tater tots and it was a fine meal. They were greasy and crunchy and salty just like they should be. Go have a beer and a burger and enjoy.

    Easily the best burgers we have ever had everything was cooked perfectly. The fries were fresh the buns were fresh the meat was tender melt in your mouth I couldn't have asked for more! I would definitely bring a bib because they can get messy but well worth it. The beer selection is great especially for craft beers I very happy we stumbled upon this place.

  • Diana T.

    My husband and I enjoyed RokBrgr very much! We shared a few dishes, the short rib sliders, poutine and bacon mac and cheese. The short rib sliders were excellent (tasted exactly like my pot roast and melts in your mouth). The bacon mac and cheese was delicious. You can't really go wrong with comfort food like that, but I especially loved the truffle after taste. The poutine was a little salty for my taste and I LOVE salt. Maybe a bit too much gravy or just too much salt in the gravy. My husband enjoyed a cold Modelo Especial and I had a tasy Tito's Bloody Mary made with Zing Zang (yum). The bartender, Katie, was absolutely charming, very sweet and attentive. We were checked on by quite a few other staff members as well. We will definitely be back, especially for the free mimosas with brunch on Sundays.

    We were there for Happy Hour and dinner last night, I think it was from 4-7 all drinks half price. I've order the lobster Mac & Cheese for $14 dollars and it was just ok, I don't think I'll order it again! My husband had short rib sliders for $12 and it was mushy... I had morning glory burger before it was pretty good,! oh well....guess we will have regular burger in the future

    On a mini vacation to Ft. Lauderdale, FL ... long day ... decided to grab some dinner. We found this place from yelp. Read it was good. So we went to try it out. I had the mac & cheese to start off. My meal was the Sweet Caroline with the loaded tater tots and a 420 beer. OMG this burger was delicious!! I even had my friend record me taking a huge bite like the burger commercials these days wit those sexy girls lol. We came on a Sunday night. We were able to find parking right away and luckily also got seated right away. We sat outside infront of the restaurant. Our server was really nice. I think she was the only server of the night as she was missing for quiet some time. It was hard to find her when we needed something but she was very nice and friendly. It did take awhile to give us our checks and then secondly actually picking up bill. We wanted to go out and celebrate the night away but the food was soo good and full filling that it tired us out ... and the waiting for the check had a piece of that too lol so that is why I gave it 4 stars. The food ... awesome!! I cant wait to go to a Rok Brgr again and try the next thing on the menu. Delish!!

    Out of towners who used yelp to find a place. I was sold with the pics and the prospect of having truffle fries. This place does it right. Hubby had the fat Elvis which was unique and tastey. I did the pretzel burger and added roasted jalapeños with truffle fries. If I could have i would have eaten the whole meal. Those fries made my day they were so amazing. Highly recommend this trendy joint.

  • Ashlei S.

    Had the truffle burger and although slightly over cooked it was still very tasty! The sweet potato fries were ok, they could zest them up a bit with some seasoning. We ended up getting our food to go and they did a nice job of making sure our topping were boxed properly.

    I was excited to try a burger from Rok. There was a fair amount of hype in regard to the burgers. The menu has a variety of gourmet style burgers everything from the classics to the more adventurous combinations. On our first visit the bf got the King James and I ordered the Peggy. The King James has brie cheese, pork belly and truffle aioli (just a few of my favorite things!). The Peggy has cheddar cheese, braised short rib and BBQ sauce. First off, these burgers are larger than the average person's mouth. So the first thing you'll need to do is form a strategy to eat the burger whether that may be 1) the squish method: you'll probably need to squish a few inches off or 2) resort to your knife and fork. I usually order my burgers medium rare. The meat was cooked nicely and was juicy. (Big pet peeve: Dry, overcooked burger meat--blech!) We both liked the King James better. In my peggy, the combination of the braised short rib plus the burger patty was just meat on meat and the flavors got lost. The King James, though, was a nice balance of flavors that you could distinctly taste. On a second visit, I ordered the Yelp (aka cowboy burger) and the bf chose the bacon jam. The Yelp seemed to have the same problem as the Peggy. The Yelp came with cole slaw, pulled pork, and fried onions, It's a bit of an overload of everything that altogether loses the essence of the burger. The bacon jam, however, was great! Funny how Limuel always ends up with the better burger, huh?? Don't get me wrong, the Peggy and the Yelp were not bad burgers, but I just wouldn't order them again with all the other options they offer. As far as sides, the onions rings, sweet potato fries, and regular fries are all very good!! Don't pass up the sides just because the burger is so massive. The regular fries automatically come with a burger or your can upgrade for $2. They compliment the meal perfectly. The prices for the burgers are reasonable considering the portion size and the fact that these are 'gourmet' burgers. I've had no problems with the service either time I came. I can see myself craving the burgers from Rok:Brgr and can't wait to try some of the other burgers like the Morning Glory or Black and Bleu or the Bosh Burger. I do have to reprimand them for having burgers named after Miami Heat players (Lakers for life!)

  • Rebekah T.

    While I was looking through the local Yelp threads, I found one called "Order the Yelp". Out of all the names, Rok:Brgr stood out and led me directly to check them out. When my friend picked us up for lunch, she surprised me by saying this was the exact place she intended on taking us. Hurray for friends with good taste. Although it was crowded at lunch time, we were able to get a table for three and place an order for couple beers and a cocktail. I ordered the Cucumber Hendricks, which was refreshing and perfect. To start, my guy and I ordered the Lobster Corn Dogs which were fantastic. The combination of flavors was so good, a great savory twist to a gourmet dish. We decided to split a burger and agreed on the Morning Glory which comes with a Fried Egg and Maple Bacon. It was sooooo good. This is exactly what I want and crave in a burger. They came with loaded tots, which were just a couple bucks more. Our friend ordered this huge yummy Ahi Tuna burger that was made with sushi grade ahi. It was really tasty with this wasabi aioli and sweet potato fries. Quite the gourmet combo. The taste is reflective in the quality of burgers, food and genius appetizers. This is the type of place that I would come back and bring my friends, it really is as good as it gets for burgers!

    If you are a burger lover and live in Broward county this is a must try. The place is inviting and the decor is hip yet not overstated. The staff was quick, friendly and knowledgeable. We came on a Friday night without reservations around 7pm and the place was almost packed. Their burgers: they have at least 8 different burgers and some vegetarian and lighter options, like turkey and tuna. Prices range from $14-$16 and that includes fries. Since this was the second place that ib know of offering the fat Elvis I of course had to try it. I think the jelly didn't do anything for me and the peanut butter to bread ratio was off. Therefore my verdict will be that this pb burger will take a second place in my book of favorite spots. I probably would go with the burger with aged cheddar on pretzel bun next time. Their sweet potato fries were good. Their chocolate bread pudding was o.k. I found it to be a bit too dry. I still think overall a neat little place with an eclectic menu does rock.

    Today was my first time at a UYE event and my first time at Rok:Brgr. My husband and I sat in the back room with about twenty-five Yelpers. The menu choices looked great, but we decided to get the Order The Yelp Cowboy Burger. The burger came with cheese, brisket, coleslaw, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, onion rings, and a side of BBQ sauce. I didn't think all that food would be good together, but it tasted great. It was so big that I had to take half of it home. It also came with a side of French fries and ketchup. The French fries were delicious. I couldn't stop eating them, in spite of being on a diet. I wish they had offered a choice of lighter sides without having to pay an up charge. Anyway, I really did enjoy the food. When I got there I checked in on my phone and got a 30% discount on the price of the Cowboy Burger. Thank you Ashley. It was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

    Our waiter.....Alex....or Alec..... Was absolutely awful left our table unattended for long periods of time and when we actually asked for refills was extremely rude based on that I will probably never be returning the food was good but the service was so bad that it ruined our dining experience...... And then when we brought it to the managers attention I believe his name was Mike he gave us a half-hearted apology and said he would take care of the situation whatever that meant basically it seems like the two were friends and he could care less about our dining satisfaction experience. All in all it was a very disappointing and unsatisfying dining experience we definitely will not return

    I've been wanting to try Rok:Brgr for a while now. When they opened, I bookmarked them but, you know how it is... you have your favorite "go-to" spots with friends and sometimes it's hard to break that routine, so it didn't happen. Then for Burger Wednesday I said, "ok, this is when I'll go" but for some reason never made it either. Time passed and I heard people talk about how good the burgers are, how they really like the place and how I should totally go. Well, finally I did! Wednesday night, around 7:30pm. We walked to the hostess, asked for a table for 5 and were told it would be about 20 minutes wait. No problem, plenty to do around while waiting. We just walked next door, grabbed a drink at the bar and waited for the "your table is ready" call, which came just in the time period they had given us. They had a table outside, we were not done with our drinks, so we waited 10 more minutes for a table inside to clear for us. Once we went in, it was perfect. Right in front of a TV (great for when there's games on), not too close to the bar, so we avoided the traffic, half booth/ half chairs and big enough for the 5 of us to be comfortable. I was already told their burgers were big but still was surprised to see one come out of the kitchen. You will need to cut that in at least half... I looked through the menu, and after looking at each one thinking "ooh, that sounds good"; "I would try this one without that, or that one with this...", I finally decided on the King James (yes! they have "Heat Player's" burgers here) which came with Brie Cheese, Pork Belly, and Red Onion Marmalade. Since I wanted to truly taste the burger, I asked for it without the bun, and stuck with their regular fries instead of upgrading to tater tots. I ordered my burger Medium-Well, it was still juicy and almost melted in your mouth. The Brie with the onion marmalade is a great combination, the pork belly not greasy or too fatty, giving this the sweet and salty mix that I always love. Even without the bun I was not able to eat it all, of course it didn't help that I could not stop eating the perfect fries it came with. These were crunchy, not greasy, perfectly seasoned (I did not add any salt, ketchup or anything). Only thing I found somewhat funny and strange is that I had two whiskey sours while there... One tasted like lemonade, and the other like orange juice. If I had wanted juice I would have asked for it, instead of "sour". Needless to say, these were not my favorite drinks. I didn't complaint, since I could still taste the whiskey and they were strong and filled to the top, but mental note to not order that there again. I'm sure If I would have said something our waitress would have replaced it with something else no problem... she was very friendly, attentive, making sure our drinks were refilled when needed, and that everything we ordered came out to our satisfaction. Next time I'll be sure to order one (or two) of the many beers (tap and bottle) they offer instead. Can't go wrong with that. Great place, great food! I definitely want to go back...

    An early, 6:00 PM, Friday dinner. First visit here, we were quickly seated, and Kate, our waitress, showed up before we knew it to take our drink orders. Standard selection of liquor, Rogue to Breckenridge the beer selection was diverse. I was dead set on the Fat Elvis until Kate told up about the specials....the Cuban, shredded pork, fat back, mustard & pickles on a burger! In my best "Fat Guy" voice I uttered "I'll have that". My dining companion went with the Truffle Burger. We both ordered fries, sweet potato & truffle. The food arrived before we finished pour first drink. The Cuban was pilled high and looked inviting, the Truffle Burger looked just as good. The Cuban was one of the best burgers I've ever tasted. Sometimes with gourmet burgers the taste gets lost with all the ingredients, that's not the case here. One of the best burgers I've ever tasted. The Truffle Burger was top notch as well, an amazing flavor combination. The sweet potato fries were delicious, crispy without being burnt, and the truffle fries, well there were none left. All in all a great meal, coupled with great service, not the cheapest but worth the dollar. Don't pass this place up.

    Amazing burgers onion rings, fries and deviled eggs. I found this place through groupon. I am so glad I found it. This will be a new place to add on our list of restaurants to eat at. The food was excellent. The guy next to is ordered chicken and waffles which looked so good I had to take a pic. The Area is always so busy and parking is hard but that will not stop us to come again.

    Rok burger is absolutely delicious. Cool gastropub bar with a variety of food besides burgers. Atmosphere is chill and music selection was awesome (green day, everclear, bush, oasis), drinks are great, go for happy hour! I wish this place opened a chain on Long Island. I'll definitely be back several times if I'm ever in the area again.

    There weren't many places I had the chance to visit during my short stay in FTL, but waking up slightly hung and being promised a greasy burger and fries only a short walk away - it was a better feeling than winning the lottery. After traversing the near empty streets of the Las Olas area, we finally arrived out of the heat into the cool sanctuary of Rok:Brgr. Heaven for oh so many reasons: burgers, gastro-style pub food, A/C cranked so that you can feel the breeze from outside, tons of beers, cocktails and smokin' hot waitresses. I ordered an Old Fashioned for my beverage b/c they assured me they could make me one... my mistake for ordering this from a burger joint (my bad), it was watery. So this is the only point they lose. However, for everything else the receive FULL marks, especially for my burger of choice the Sweet & Smokey Burger which is topped with: smoked maple cheddar, caramelized onions, maple pepper bacon, bourbon bbq. UGH - HEAVEN! If you're in FTL, seek out this place for one of the best burgers around, cooked to your liking (rare, med-rare, med, etc) it's excellent! Eatcrest Out!

    This is a good burger joint. This was my first "good" burger place I tried after moving down here 3 years ago. Unfortunately now that I've tried several other ones in the area, this can't compete for price and quality of food and service. You will get a tasty burger here with the options of truffle fries which are very good. I still have to recommend looking at other joints in the area as they have some great burger specials and a different/nicer environment.

    The restaurant is very small. 8 of us went for brunch Sunday. I ordered the chicken and waffles as part of my "who has the best chicken and waffles around town" exploration. I would rate it 3.7 out of 5 stars. I didn't care for the dipping sauce. A previous time I came, I ordered the black n blue free burger (no bread, wrapped in lettuce) and the lobster corn dogs. Excellent!!! The only negative I have is the dj. He started playing which was alright until he turned the volume up and we couldn't hear ourselves talking. We left after that. I would come again for happy hour and to try a new burger from the menu!!

    It's hard to find a good burger nowadays. It's even harder to find s place that know how to prepare one right. Rok:Brgr does both. My wife and I split the Sweet Caroline. It was definitely enough for two people. Pulled pork and slaw on a perfectly fine medium burger. Did I mention the poutine? Yeah, they even have that. It could have used a little more gravy but no real complaints. They offer an option to add an egg to your burger. While we did not do this, I've done this before. My advice is, if you've never had an egg on your burger, this place is definitely the place to try it.

    My boyfriend and I visited Fort Lauderdale last month on vacation and somehow found this place online. It turned out to be the best experience we had the entire week! What drew us to Rok Brgr to begin with was the fact this place served gourmet burgers- but Rok Brgr was just so much better than we even expected. The vibe here was really awesome- if there were a place like this near home I'd come regularly- even if just for drinks. Very laid back atmosphere with exposed brick walls and a lot of alt rock playing in the background. The menu had great drinks to offer- they had a lychee martini! So surprising, and to make it even better there was fruit skewered over the top. Awesome food as well- calamari appetizer was cooked perfectly with rings and tents, sauce was yummy. I got the Riverwalk burger which was seared ahi tuna with yummy slaw, avocado and wasabi mayo- delicious. My boyfriend got the King James which was equally creative and delicious. I don't have one bad thing to say about Rok Brgr! We both loved it and I wish we could go again.

    HORRIBLE SERVICE!!! Alright yelpers, its been a while since I had a horrible experience at a spot that was highly recommended. The burgers and food are good, but Rok Burger has horrible customer service. You wait and wait and wait, for minuscule items like water (30 minutes) then another 25 minutes for room temperature bread pudding that should have been warmed. Once the pudding was sent back, we waited another thirty five minute entertaining ourselves as protester for the homeless passed by. Then, we politely asked for the bread pudding to be removed from the check and left. My guest said the burgers were great and I enjoyed the ahi mahi burger, but the service sucks so bad you really forget about the food. I don't recommend this restaurant. If you want great burgers and service, go to Burger 21.

    Absolutely ridiculous. Everything was perfect, in the event you are reading yelp reviews from a penitentiary and you are on murder row for killing your wife and the better looking in shape guy she was cheating on you with and you are looking for the perfect last meal.... This is your spot! Get the BLT Deviled Eggs and a Sweet Caroline! Your welcome, also if the glove wouldn't have fit then they woulda acquit.

    We visited this spot during brunch, we were seated in the back where the larger tables were located due to our large party. Our waitress greeted us and I ordered a mimosa since it was free for ladies (oh yea) :)... Me and my husband ended up splitting some dishes. We first started off with: -Lobster Corn Dog -very over hyped the ratio of corn breading to lobster filling is sad. The lobster filling was mushy, no texture at all. - Short Rib Biscuits "still salivating". Those were a winner, everybody in my party geeked over how great they tasted. The short rib tasted like it cooked slowly for hours, like Sunday dinner beef with onions and cheese! The biscuit was great but I could have eaten the short rib by its self, it was that good. -Kobe Beef Sliders were good nothing to write home about. Meat was flavorful, it came with tator tots, nothing spectacular it was just tator tots. The atmosphere was on point , they had a dj playing music and he was good Overall great experience -tip be prepared to pay for metered parking.

    This review, along with Roger Maris' home run record, comes with an asterisk. This restaurant is a good burger joint, but it is just as its name says.. A burger place. So to label it gourmet is a stretch. The burgers are yummy, the ingredients interesting but does it feel forced? Definitely. There is only so much you can put between a bun before the actual meat itself becomes irrelevant. Is it worth writing home about? No. Now, I do have to say, Come here on a Monday for their $10 special and you'll leave feeling satisfied with your bargain deal... Any other day, think twice before dropping $20 on a sandwich. Now... Why 4 stars? The service is good, the location is nice and the loaded tater tots are impressive! I have to say my stars are swayed by bacon and they didn't skimp on loading it on their cheesy tots! They also have hand cut fries that pair amazingly with their truffle aioli, I feel like based on location you can add this to your late night stops off river front for a beer and any of their potato related sides.

    I am so glad I convinced the hubby to get burgers on this night! This place is amazing. Great beer selection and the food was awesome. We had lobster corn dogs, lobster mac and cheese, rok burger, bacon jam burger? and some banana bread beer. My favorite was the lobster corn dogs! Really addicting. ..the lobster mac and cheese was good but not great...needed more sharpness and less bread crumbs. The lobster was plentiful in the mac though! The burgers came out perfectly cooked and the sweet potato fries (wedges) were the bomb. The only thing I didn't like was that the burger was a little on the salty side. Next time I'll just ask to hold the salt. Overall I really enjoyed my late dinner. The service was really good too. Monday is $10 for any burger which is a great deal since most their burgers are about $15.

    The ambiance was non-existence. The wait staff had the personality of a rock. The burger was just ok and did not come out as ordered (even though they ask how you want it cooked - apparently that's just for looks, because it was over-done). I requested Fontina cheese on the burger I ordered only to be told it would be $1.50 extra. When I asked why, the waiter stated it was a more expensive cheese. I know the price of Fontina - I buy it all the time. I ordered it anyways, but thought this ridiculous so I looked over the menu again because I had seen that another burger came with Fontina cheese on it, and sure enough, it was THE SAME PRICE as the burger I ordered (which was a standard burger - nothing special on it like mushrooms, etc.). Anyways, all this aside, I wouldn't recommend this place as a "best burger" in town by any means. It was edible, but it surely wasn't anything to go out of your way for. No ambiance; sour wait staff; mediocre burger. I will most likely not return unless someone I'm with just has to go there. There are too many other burger places in town with fabulous burgers.

    Love this place. Soooo good. There was only one time I wasn't to satisfied, I ordered take out and the burger wad made extremely rare. I did not mind. But it might of been the result of miscommunication between me the delivery service and the restaurant. No biggie tho. Can't wait to try their brunch one day

    I'm a burger aficionado so great job by Rok:Brgr! My wife and I sat down to a pleasant outdoor table by a very friendly staff. Our waitress, Tal, was awesome - very prompt and helpful. I ordered the "King James" and my wife the lamb burger. Both were cooked perfectly (mid-rare please) and the fries were fresh and crispy (wife upgraded to sweet potato with a side of honey). Great service, creative and quality food - will definitely invite the friends to join.

    Enjoyed the poutine. Lobter Mac and cheese was just okay as was the burger. The truffle fries were decent but that's a given as it's pretty hard to mess up truffle fries.

    I was completely underwhelmed, and very disappointed... I've been wanting to go here forever, and I'll never go again. We ran down the list o craft beers, and they were out of stock on our first four choices, and the one I chose... Well that was the last bottle of that too. Really? It's Early Friday evening, and you have no stock to get through the weekend? What a friggin FAILED PROJECT! The appetizers are uninteresting at best same crap you can get at any chain restaurant except of course for the tuna tacos. I don't know what they tried to serve us, but sushi grade tuna, it was not! The burgers were fine, but a burger is a burger. I'll stick with Tap 42 when I have hankering for craft beer, and fantastic food!

    It's been a couple of years since my previous visit, and I wasn't as happy with my burger this time around. I asked for medium well, and received a medium-to-medium-rare burger. The burger didn't have much flavor to it, and I wound up eating a couple bites and discarding. I suppose I could have asked them to put it back on the grill ... I don't know. My previous visit was different, so, perhaps, it was just an off day. I'm sure I'll be back at some point.

    Came here for brunch one time and another for cinco de mayo. Brunch is delicious, ladies get free unlimited mimosas. When I came for cinco de mayo I tried their special which was a quesadilla with their burger meat inside, AMAZING. I will be returning to eat on a regular night, my friends love the food there.

    I went to Rok this past weekend with my Fiancee and we had a great time . The atmosphere was great , service was awesome and the food was even better. We had the rok shrimp, Drunken Pretzel Burger and the Spicy Crunch. I cannot wait to go back and try another burger and some of their starters. Definitely recommend this place for a cool hangout

    So I drove all the way to out here to try this place because my friend Hilda an elite yelper told me it was amazing. We got there around 11:20am and las plans was dead. I usually go there at night when it's packed. We sat outside and the manager came to us and said it would only be a few more minutes that they open at 11:30am. A few minutes later the chef came out and said they were open, it was 11:27am. We were greeted and seated and given menus. Our waitress came and got our drink orders. We decided on the Mac and Cheese as an appetizer. Whenever my girlfriend and I see Mac and Cheese we always order it because it's our favorite. It was a disappointment though all you tasted was truffle no salt no seasoning. We told the waitress and she did not offer to take it off the bill for an exchange of something else. For our entree we got a rok burger and then a sweet and smokey which the only difference between the two was onions and a different cheese. The meat was delicious but there was a lot of it. I feel like we didn't get to savor every taste but meat. We were full after eating half and the original fries were nothing to brag about. We didn't see any deserts on the menu so we didn't bother but I did see it on yelp. Mhmm, after about 20 minutes of eating the place got packed and it took a while for us to get the bill. I did notice that the waiters are not assigned to certain sections because I kept seeing them walk back and forth and say to each other I got this table I got that table. All in all I give this place a 3 because it was not amazing and my expectations are high. I will be back to try the chicken and waffles though.

    I had the Rok burger with fries! It was an awesome burger cooked to perfection, and tastes every bit as good as it looks. It came with a sweet barbecue sauce. Yum!!!!! I would definitely go back to satisfy my burger cravings. Very juicy! Very tasty! Good quality ingredients! They had a lot of other very tasty burgers that I haven't but would love to try. Good beer selection! Full bar! Small place downtown near all the action.

    Dropped by here right after the Yelpies and as always the burger was amazing I also had the lobster mac and cheese and wasn't very impressed with it. yes there was lobster in it but everything tasted bland. I tried to wake it up a bit with some salt and pepper but nothing really had the flavors I was expecting. this is why tonight wasn't a five star experience

  • Jen K.

    I like burgers, but I don't like a burger that has such a big patty that is takes away from the other flavors of the burger. This is obviously personal preference, so some people would rate this place much higher. The drinks are poured strong. The fried pickles are spears, so they didn't get fried all the way through. I tried the sliders, which had a nice jam to them. The mac and cheese was really good. The fries are okay. The biggest disappoint was the service. I really believe our guy was on some sort of drugs. We would order a drink and 10 minutes later, he would come back and ask if we wanted to order a drink. He disappeared for almost an hour and we had to wait, drink-less, for the bill until he came back. He screwed up our CCs so people paid for the wrong tabs. I'm sure he will find his calling one day, but serving tables is not it.

    My wife and I were on the hunt for a killer burger so we googled top burger joints in Fort Lauderdale and came across ROK burger. The place is small but we were seated early as we got out rather early about 7PM. First impression.... The place smelled like a dirty tavern... We were seated next to a group of drunk college kids that spoke to each other across the table either yelling or at the top of their lungs... It was ridiculous annoying loud conversation that made it difficult to carry on a conversation without having to yell as well. Then the knocking over of tables... Spilled beer, broken glasses ...watching drunk college kids I think trying to enjoy themselves. Anyway my first dining experience is not starting off too well and I'm getting annoyed. The service was average..we ordered the deviled eggs and they were delicious. My wife and I both ordered burgers one classic and one morning glory. The burgers were perfectly cooked and delicious. We had sweet potato and truffle fries... Sweet potato were great...truffle were good for the first few bites...then it was too much leaving me thinking I would have preferred plain fries instead. We ordered two mixed drinks each....this was my deal breaker when I saw I got charged $40.00!!!! 10.00 a copy for a watered down mixed vodka drink in a low end ATMOSPHERE burger place that smelled dirty...as a matter of fact, I asked for a glass of water and they served it in a beer glass....the glass stunk like a dirty bar towel and what ever they use to clean the glasses! It smelled so offensive I could not drink the water... Anyway.. Food was good ....service mediocre drink prices ridiculous for such a low end dining environment...our drinks cost more than the meal!... I'm not sure if I'd go back.... I'd have to really be in the mood to go there...the clientele is odd for my liking the drinks are too expensive for the establishment type and the water glasses smelled like ASS Sorry ROK Burger...I can't make this stuff up.. Oh, I shared my experience with my server and asked her to pass it along to management...she looked at me, apologized and moved on... She left me feeling as she could really care less and was not sincere Michael J

    I came here after a hardcore workout for there $10 burger deal on Mondays. Any burger on the menu is just $10! That is a great deal. I ordered the famous (award winning) Bacon Jam burger with a lettuce wrap as I currently am watching my carb intake. I did splurge on the sweet potato fries though. My SO choose the Spicy Crunch burger wrapped in lettuce and opted for a side salad. I was throughly impressed with the quality of the food for a restaurant located smack dab in the bar scene of Fort Lauderdale. The Bacon Jam had creamy brie and a maple bacon jam. The sweet potato fries were also perfectly cooked, not too crispy, not soggy either. The real highlight of the night though was the Spicy Crunch Burger. It was absolutely delicious! I really recommend this place overall, especially on Mondays, when they have live music outside as well. Supposedly, they have a great variety of craft beer, but honestly for a real craft beer drinker, this is not the case.

  • Savanna M.

    I love ROK:BRGR!! It always seems to me that I'm a little bit aprehensive before I go, there are so many bad reviews bashing service and talking about long waits, but maybe I'm lucky, or maybe I pick the right times, but neither has ever happened to me. The burgers are amazing! And $10 burgers on monday is a steal! I have to admit though that I realized the BLT with pork belly was even better than the burgers... just the perfect amount of mayo...yum..... I'm disappointed to say though that I'm reading their menu online now and don't see it anymore.... they've replaced it with a lobster BLT, which sounds right up my alley, but I'll still miss my pork belly BLT! The grandtasting sliders is perfect if you want to try a lot of burger options and have someone to split it with! I can also recommend the goat cheese with beet salad!

    Excellent burgers, to die for mac&cheese, great fries. I would give this 5 stars but it is a burger joint. Attentive staff and casual atmosphere. The burgers are huge and you will need a nap. Tuna burger was dry so stick to beef or turkey. And split the mac&cheese with Gruyere and truffle. TDF!!!

  • CeeCee L.

    This was actually my third visit to Rok:Brgr and I brought along my MBF (male best friend:) The fact that I've been here twice before lets you know I like the food but I'm also going to tell you why I like the place. It's closely configured with high tops and banquette seating from just beyond the bar, on back. But I like that feeling, I like looking over at the next table and seeing what looks good, I like hearing a bawdy joke and catching the eye of the guy who told it, LoL! They keep the front door open and along with the pass-thru bar area, there's always a breeze and a view - two things which make any meal better, IMO. The waitstaff is CuuUTE (boys and girls, alike) and personable, not just well-trained but actual, nice people. We weren't terribly hungry, just up to noshing so we started with the poutine, coffee and whiskey. Then we wrapped with the chicken&waffles. It was crispy, doughy, salty, syrupy, bacon-y goodness personified. Check them out, I can almost guarantee, you'll enjoy every moment...

    Rok-Burger makes 5 star burgers consistently! I took the liberty of enjoying their BBQ short rib Burger and I could not believe how amazing it tasted! My mouth was watering before the next bite. I am thoroughly impress with the kitchen and waitstaff. The facility was clean organized and had appropriate seating. Two thumbs up to Rok-Burger!!

    The burgers are good, not the best burger ever, but the combinations of toppings you can do makes it fun and interesting. The also can do it all with a turkey or chicken burger which makes folks like me happy. Their truffle fries are awesome. They can compete with higher end restaurants fries. The lobster mac disappointed me, but others at my table really enjoyed it. I thought it lacked flavor. Oh, and the coconut mojito makes me happy! Lol. They have a great bar. Servers are always pretty friendly.

    DECADENT MENU. of course my friends and I came for the burgers (we went on a Monday which is $10 burgers!). My roommate and I shared the Mac and cheese which was so rich and flavorful. We chose to add short rib to it and surely enough they did not skim us on the meat haha We also got some burger...forgot which one but I know there was bacon and an egg in it. So how can you go wrong right? For dessert we ordered a chocolate Oreo cookie stuffed with peanut butter accompanied by a glass of milk. It was exactly what we expected! Service was great too! Very attentive. Also if you check in, you get a free well drink! Strong one I might add :)

    Love this place. Decor is cozy and trendy. They have outdoor seating on Himmarshee. The burgers are awesome and probably among the best I've ever had. I really like the bacon jam and the south floridian. The bacon jam is extremely tasty and made in house. The south Floridian has amazing pork belly on it and is just an incredible burger. The sweet potato fries are also delicious and they have a great bar with a nice craft beer selection. This is one of our favorite places in Fort Lauderdale. They get out vote for the best burgers in the area! Enjoy.

    How I even decided what to order is beyond me. This place is incredible! I can only imagine what it would be like to have one in Madison, super jealous of you Floridians. Everything on the menu looked divine. At first glance we thought it was a little pricey but the food is worth it! We had the Rok:Brgr and the Bacon Jam. Both were ah-mazing and the fries were cooked perfectly. Crispy on the outside and yummy on the inside. It was the first time I've ever had Brie on a burger and definitely won't be my last. Service was also on point and the ambiance of the place is way cool. I love the idea of a burger bar. Seriously, so flippin good. Please go here all the time for me because I can't.

    I've tried. And tried. And tried repeatedly to like this place, but I'm just not getting the hype! I'm starting to think maybe it's me.. I live downtown and love that I have some great neighborhood dining options, although we all know downtown has kinda gone down the tubes the past couple of years but places like this seem to be slowly turning that around. I've been on a number of occasions because people literally rave about how good it is. I've had their burgers, salads, and tried brunch for the first time this past weekend. The hostess took our name and informed us of the long wait for outside, but we decided to wait because we had family from out of town and the atmosphere outside was much better especially on a nice day like we had. She was very kind and accommodating, a table opened up sooner than we thought although not big enough for our group of 6 she let us sit and told us we could connect it with the neighboring table as they weren't staying for much longer. We started with a round of mimosas and bloody's from the bar during our short wait, free mimosas for ladies and $4 bloody's- can't beat it. The bartender was sweet and our server was nice too. My friend and I split the lobster benedict and the hangover sandwich. The lobster benedict was mediocre, the lobster almost seemed like it was out of a can. I liked the hangover sandwich better. We also got the breakfast mac n' cheese and was really disappointed with it! I expected a lot more flavor. My friends burger was way overdone and so was my other friends steak. The food took a really long time to come out so they didn't feel like waiting for a refire although I would have sent mine back. Synopsis- good drinks and specials, fun Sunday brunch atmosphere, friendly staff, but the food is not great in my opinion.

    Was in town for business and took 2 associates here for dinner. Service was good but she was overworked. Food quality was poor-- lobster corn pops were seemingly without real chunks of lobster and pasty. We found a foreign object ( metal) on one of the plates. I food my burger to be under cooked and had a "refrigerator" smell about it. There was scant amount of short rib on Sweet Caroline and the BBQ sauce was overpowering and caused dish to be unbalanced. Manager , Johnny, was abrasive and not hospitable. Called the corporate office after emailing them with them not contacting me. Attitude of corporate officer was unconcerned as he was carrying on conversations with others in his office while speaking to me. Good service, poor food quality and poor management. Not a good combination. I DO NOT recommend this restaurant

    Good burger but if I'm being honest, was not outstanding. The burger was overlooked when asked for medium rare, it came out medium well. The fries are damn good but overall everything is a just a little too greasy. Think B&B in miami offers a better burger.

    Monday night... Downtown Ft. Lauderdale is a ghost town... and we wait 30 minutes for burgers. Guess that's a sign of good things to come...? The atmosphere is real nice. It feels like your up in the north-east at a nice city bar. Brick walls, dim lighting, solid music & high def tv's along the long bar, which has a great selection of beers, set up very nicely. If i had to guess, i would say there's only seating for 60 or so. Which can explain the wait. Wasn't bad. We were just real hungry! We started things off with Lobster Corn Dogs & Momma's Chili... Perfect choice! It then got interesting trying to figure out what burger to go with... The selection is real nice along with the 'build your own' section, it can be overwhelming. Only because all the ingredients sounded great on a burger. The flavor quality of everything we ate really set this place apart from other pub burgers we have had. Massive amount of toppings didn't make the burger too messy(we felt the lettuce/tomato/onion hidden under each burger was a bit unnecessary). With a packed house, although it was small, they still were able to cook everyone's burger perfectly. Lobster Corn Dogs, come on... Outstanding! Momma's Rum Cake... Perfectly Moist!

    I have read so many good reviews about this place but never really had the chance to try it. So this morning we decide to pay a visit. We arrived around noon and the place was packed, both inside and outside. A DJ was actually playing loud music, which to me makes this place less idea for a Sunday Brunch. Burgers we ordered were pretty good. I ordered a draft beer but the ladies get to have mimosa for free on Sundays.

    This place is amazing. Food is great ive been there twice and everything I've eaten has been sensational and totally creative. If you're looking for a really really good burger come here (the best burger I've ever had) All these people complaining about price obviously don't know about restaurant websites and the service I've had has been really good so idk I was actually surprised this place only had 4 stars. Im going to go again 100%

    I just wasn't totally impressed. I got he ago tuna burger. It was good but not great. The fries were soggy, cold and I got all the broken pieces. Very few whole fries. The service was slow. It took a long time to get drinks and the waitress did not come around often to check on us.

    This place has received many fantastic reviews for the fabulous food- and has been Yelped up with recent reviews being on the Order the Yelp list and UYE... I wish I'd had the opportunity to taste the food, but it just didn't happen. I came to the UYE hoping to meet some fellow Yelpies- told the hostess that we were part of the group, and was sat close enough to be a creeper looking around the corner- but was not even taken over to area where the group was seated. I was told that there weren't anymore seats with the group, but three people came after me and sat in the section no problem. I've been to many other functions at restaurants and the hostess has the sense to bring everyone that says that they are part of a group to the section where the group is seated. I ordered a drink- but then it took the waitress 15 minutes to come back- so I just said no thanks and went next door. If the point was to be a part of the group- then sitting in another section was just pointless.. I did come back afterwards, and did get to meet some cool Yelpies- so all was not lost. I don't want to give a horrible review not having had any food, but I do want to mention that the staff needs some turnaround in order to make this place work.

  • Barbara B.

    Went there yesterday because we had a Groupon expiring. The kitchen staff wasn't prepared for a crowd, because everyone had Groupons expiring. They quit seating people and told everyone there was a 2 hour wait for seating and 1 hour wait for take out. I have to assume that if there's a certain amount of tables in a place, the kitchen should be able to serve that same amount...? They refused to extend the date on the Groupon or offer a solution. We went 3 doors down where they had $10 burgers or tacos and had excellent burgers although the service was as bad or worse than Rok:Brgr.

    Burgers are always amazing...highly recommend the Mexican (add bacon and sour cream), Fat Elvis and Morning Glory. Tater tots are really good, however I didn't particularly like the loaded tots. Stay away from the truffle fries, not very good. Service can be a little slow at times, but they are friendly.

    Welcome to Good Burger, home of the good burger, can I take your ooorder? I was craving me a nice thick burger on a fine Sunday afternoon. After a little bit of thought & the obvious consulting of Yelp, I decided to check out Rok:Brgr. Am I glad to have this place! I was able to use my check-in offer for a free premium well drink. (Premium well. Is that an oxymoron?) She used her gender to score a free mimosa. Not really looking to be drinking on a Sunday afternoon, we stuck with our one free drink while we enjoyed the delight of what we owed the visit. The rok:brgr was everything I was jonesin' for. Thick & juicy. Full of flavor. I took it with the tots which were just as delicious. Perfectly salted & seasoned. Only left me wanting more yet I was completely satisfied with my meal. Just over a day removed from my visit & I can go for another one right now.

  • Acelyn B.

    I put Mark A. in charge of lunch, and what does he pick? Burgers, of course! We read somewhere that the best pre-flight meal is a burger. (The reasons? I don't remember. =X) So this was the perfect meal for me to have before flying out for work. Even more perfect? Free drink with Yelp check-in! Can it get any better? YES! Free mimosa for ladies on Sunday afternoons! Usually I don't like ordering the same meal as someone else at my table. I like variety and being able to try new things at one visit. However, the Rok:Brgr was calling both of us. At least we chose different sides: tots for him, sweet potato fries for me. The burger was amazing! Thick, flavorful, and with juices flowing from it. The only down side to its juiciness is that I hate when my bread gets soggy. So the juices that are left on the plate started to soak into the bun of the other half of my burger. (#firstworldproblems) Tots were salty, a negative for some, but a win for me! Sweet potato fries were thick cuts, very lightly salted. We were seated outside for lunch, and thankfully so. The music inside was LOUD. Sitting outside allowed us to enjoy it without having to yell our conversation. I did like the jams the DJ was playing, though. It made for the perfect outdoor Sunday lunch date.

    Love this place. So trendy and hip. I'm addicted to the truffle fries. Reading the menu will have you so indecisive with burger creations including peanut butter and jelly or a fried egg. You'll need a knife and fork to eat it. Mondays all the burgers are $10. Sunday brunch includes unlimited mimosas. All in all, if you wanna clog your arteries, or your boyfriend dumped you and you're using him to blame for cellulite.. This place is for you! Yum

    Great place for brunch (ladies drink free mimosa, that's a plus). Depending what time you go, you might experience a little wait, but the food is worth it!

    I came to Rok:Brgr on a Saturday evening for my birthday and my visit was based on reviews. We were sat right away and served. To say the least, I wasn't impressed with the burger. I love burgers and was surprised based on the reviews. I ordered the Rok:Brgr Classic medium and it seemed to be cooked medium well. I also swapped out my bun for a lettuce wrap. The fries were good. So, I don't see myself coming back anytime soon.

    I consider myself a burger snob, and this place does not disappoint! It's not the best burger I've ever had, but it is definitely top 3. The burgers are fantastic! I recommend the tater tots. And the Mac & Cheese is flipping amazing!!!! So yummy! I will be back again and again!!!

    After my bitchin brunch experience, I had to (re)visit for the food food. Aside from coming here to grad a drink, I had been here to eat years ago and I recall it being pretty good - but not good enough to keep me coming back I guess, or it could be the fact that I don't partake in the meat variety of burgers... yeah, that's probably it. Anyhow, I came here with good brunch memories still fresh in mind and I was pretty excited to try some of the yummy looking menu items. We started with the fried pickles which happen to be my current obsession. So far, I have yet to find a fried pickle that lives up to Burger and Beer Joint. And while I'm on the subject, let me just say, pickle chips are the way to go; eating a fried pickle spear is messy and inconvenient, and eating a whole fried pickle is just barbaric. Take note chefs. So, I was happy when Rok:Brgr served me up with some pretty decent fried pickle chips, and these were the first I've come across that have lived up to, and maybe even trumped B&B Joint. They were a little spicy, the batter didn't separate from the pickle and they were crispy and not oily. For my meal, I was debating between a few items. The last time I came here years ago, I ordered the chicken sandwich and was thinking about ordering it again, but also choosing between that, the veggie burger and maybe even the mac. Well, when I was explaining my qualms to our waitress, she was like "OMGGGG the mac!!!" She went on to describe to me how heavenly this mac n cheese was and how after her last breakup, she decided to give up on human companionship and went forth with a commitment ceremony to the Rok:Brgr mac n cheese. So yeah, I ordered it. The mac was good, but... probably could have done it as a side or as a starter or something because it just got to be overwhelming after a handful of bites. So where I would def recommend it, I'd say maybe not as your main course unless you are some kind of mac n cheese freak. However, my take on the food is that most of the dishes are akin to the mac and all are very rich and heavy... probably the kind of place where you would order a few things and share them all so as to not be so quickly overwhelmed and to just sample the really good variety they have going on. The service if pretty good and friendly, but the few times I have been here to eat now, I've had to ask for the check every time, so they certainly don't rush you out the door, but just take note that you might be sitting around for a while if you don't speak up.

    Love Tarpon Bend nearby, so finally tried the ROK:Brgr. Server was way below average, everyone was getting better service with other servers. Burgers were just average. French fries were great! Wine glass was dirty, so when I requested a clean one, I waited a long time and then was told, with attitude, that they do not have a polishing cloth and that was why it was dirty! No, it was just dirty and filmy and $9!! Will not return, too many other good choices around town.

    Service was great and the tots were good. Place is a little hole in the wall and to call it the best burger in the area, I guess the standards are pretty low to achieve that rating. If that's their specialty, I wouldn't come back again. Ordered a burger medium and there wasn't a single pink spot on it. If I wanted a dry burger I would ask for the veggie. Guess you have to say medium rare to get it medium.

    It was Saturday night, we were in the neighborhood, and the reviews were good. So let's give this joint a try we said to ourselves. There was a little wait, being that this place is small and is located smack dab in the middle of the party strip where all the college and sports fanatics go to get wasted. But we were willing to hang on for a good burger. They got us a good spot inside and the kids weren't that hungry which made our ordering quick and easy. We were tickled that this place had so many burgers named after our #miamiheat players :) The kids ordered calamari and sliders. I've had much better and fresher calamari. They were chewy. But the sweet relish was enough to please my not so hungry little guy. My oldest didn't even let try his sliders, so they must have been pretty epic or else he would've complained :) The Hubbs picked up the #dwaynewaderokburger. The fried egg and bacon jelly made this one a slam dunk. I got the #baconjamrokburger and let me tell you that I straight murdered that burger no matter what the size. The only thing was the the bun is a bit too much bun for my liking. If it were a little more crispy and a little less bready it would've been perfect. But I was hungry and it was tasty. The meat was cooked exactly and I mean EXACTLY the way you want it. Pretty good burger joint to hit up in Ft. Laudy Daudy, FL

    Came here for a Late night snack with the BF. We had been bar hopping before and gained a drunken appetite. To drink i had a golden monkey (one of my fave brews) and BF got a blue moon. We got some sliders to share. They were tasty and hit the spot. The check in came with a free premium drink which she discounted my golden monkey for. The outdoor bar like seating is awesome and the only place in that area that serves food that has that.

    I have been to ROK:BRGR a few times, and I have never been unhappy...except for with how full I am. On my most recent experience I went with my boyfriend (my groupon was dangerously close to expiring) and I insisted we share a burger and get a few side items. There really is no good reason to eat a whole rok burger, and you won't feel great about yourself if you do. We went in on a Friday night around 8:30 and were seated right away (YAY!). We ordered the southern hospitality burger, mac and cheese, and spinach dip. We also had a bottle of cupcake merlot. They were busy so the wine came a little slowly, but we had water so I was ok with it....the food however took even longer...AND the man sitting next to us was seated well after us and received his food first. Now I'm not sure if this is because he got an appetizer and they wanted to bring all three of our items at once...but I was slightly annoyed...and the spinach dip was really supposed to be an appetizer, but came out with the food, but I had my wine, so I remained relatively happy. When the massive amount of food arrived at the table we started trying everything. I'm not really one to order spinach dip in a restaurant (I can make it at home), but my boyfriend wanted it,and I'm glad he picked it. It was really creamy and delicious, with big artichoke pieces. On to the mac and cheese. I LOVE mac and cheese, and this one was my favorite style of cheese sauce, very creamy, with lots of it, but it wasn't my favorite overall, and I felt like something was a little off balance with the flavors. The southern hospitality burger was good, though I probably wouldn't order it again because I didn't love the tomato jam on it, but now that I'm thinking about it, I'm not sure I really have ever loved tomato jam, so that probably isn't their fault...but it did have a fried green tomato on it...I love that. I know this review sounds like I had a lot of issues with the experience, and truth be told I have had better meals, but what is pushing me to four stars is the actual burger. I am not one for ground beef, and I almost never order beef burgers, but the taste of the burger meat at ROK:BRGR was REALLY good, and if you can get me to say that about ground beef it must be something special. I have also had other meals here that were a solid four stars (in the past I've loved the goat cheese salad and the pork belly BLT). Also, despite the somewhat slow kitchen, our waiter was otherwise very good and I would never hesitate to return.

    Not bad at all. Nice display on the food, which helps my eyes like it before my tongue. I had the Riverwalk which was very tasty. I thought the service was decent and the place was clean. My only complaint is the price. A bit expensive and a $2 up hard for tater tots is a bit much. Overall a good experience. I would go back for sure.

    This place is horrible. If you don't know the owner or the manager you are out of luck. Person after person complained about the wait amd the people being seated after connecting with the manager with hugs and high fives. Once we got seated in a horrible table the manager defended his action by lying about letting his personal friends take large tables in front of other guests. After waiting an hour the staff treatment was so horrible we could not even order. This place is a wanna be south beach bistro without any style. Avoid at all cost. Manager is a liar and cares less about people he does not know personally.

    I might have set my expectations a bit high for rok: brgr. Based on reviews here and recommendations from friends i was expecting to be eating the best burger ever. ok, so its not the best burger ever...it is however an excellent burger, the menu features about 15 burgers creatively named for their ingredients highlights and some of our favorite Miami heat players. i plan to come back and try them all. This time we had the bacon jam and the sweet and smoky burgers. Both were cooked to perfection and totally delicious. i didn't particularly care for the brie that was on the bacon jam and i probably wouldn't order any of their other burgers that also have that specific cheese on it. We had the mac and cheese which is outstanding. The sweet potato fries and the onion rings are some of the best we've ever eaten. rok: brgr has a fun and upbeat atmosphere. Kimberly was great with helping us navigate the menu and choosing our drinks. the cocktails are awesome. we had a lychee martini and an IPA which we thoroughly enjoyed.

    We went to this place based on the reviews, and this time they got it right! I had the best burger in my life in this place, without a doubt. The fries were also some of the best I had in a restaurant, no frozen, refried crap, but real homemade fries. They also have a very nice list of beers. The service was quite prompt, our server was nice. It's definitely an expensive burger at $15-$16, but it's well worth the price, although I'd probably not pay more than that for a burger. Nice ambiance as well. Probably the busiest restaurant in the area from what I've seen. We're not locals but can't wait going back!

    Love love love Rokburger! Their happy hour is great, they have $10 burgers Monday nights, wine Wednesdays and the best brunch in fort lauderale! Their service doesn't disappoint! Go see Janice the bartender she is friendly and super attentive. The food of course is amazing and deserves all the award they've received. A must see if you're a foodie and looking for a local place that serves amazing burgers and drinks!

    Ordered the Classic burger lunch box. Great burger, huge, flavorful & cooked to perfection, served w/basket loaded w/French fries. Can't wait to return to taste more of the menu items. Lots of big screen tvs (which I was trying to watch a World Cup game but coworker kept talking about work, shhhh! lol). We received a hearty sincere welcome on arrival.

    In town for the Him concert at Revolution Live I was in need of a quick bite. Yelp hasn't let me down thus far so after a quick search and quite a surprise I find myself at Rok Brgr. Surprised because I entered cheeseburger and meatloaf into the search field and found good reviews on both. Outdoor and indoor seating we opted for indoor. We sat inside but no AC thankfully we are having amazing weather this day and it isn't an issue. Small but not intimate setting and exposed brick walls give this place a nice feel of charm. At first glance I ask myself why the high reviews the food or the ladies because 3/5 waitresses were 4 1/2 star quality. I digress and let us begin with the meal. As you may have figured I ordered a cheeseburger but not just any cheeseburger the DWade. Which is a cheeseburger on steroids need a better description? Manchego cheese, chorizo, truffle aioli and of course a fried egg (over easy) cooked medium. It may have been slightly over cooked but what I had tasted like perfection on a bun down to the last bite which unshamefully I will admit I used a knife and fork. For an up charge I splurged on sweet potato fries made by the hand of god in oil saved only for royalty. I may have exaggerated a bit but you get the point my only suggestion is instead of ketchup offer cream cheese with the sweet potato fries. Not to often will I find myself explaining the wonders of meatloaf. Kobe beef and the fact that it is infused with bacon and you'll know the taste of heaven. Accompanied with butter whipped mashed potatoes and a decorative onion ring I didn't know whether to start the photo shoot or dig in. A quick pic didn't kill me. Stop in to Rok Brgr for a meal or happy hour whichever you like and I dare you to find me a better burger. Thanks for the time fellow helpers and suggesting this amazing place.

    Oh boy...talk about cheating on the diet during the week day! Pure indulgence! Why pay $ 18 for a salad when you can enjoy a delicious burger? Once I decided to indulge..I upgraded to onion rings! Why not? The other ladies had home fries and sweet potato fries.. One more delicious than the other. The service was great. The outside seating is ideal for a gorgeous FLL day. I had a taste of my colleague's lobster corn dogs...very creative ! I would definitely go back to try more of their menu items.

    I did like the food but they are always packed. I was ignored the whole time standing by the door. After 15 minutes I decided to get waiters attention so I can be seated. Also they took over almost an hour to bring the food on table. Groupon here was absolute waste of time

    Came here last Friday night with coworkers. It was around 9:30 and surprised that I was able to get a table outside. I guess it was still early cause as the night progressed, the place got packed. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable of each item on the menu. She highly recommended to start with lobster corn dogs and we were very impressed...wished we got 2 orders cause devoured them right away! My drink of choice was Dirty Martinis and loved that it came with bacon wrapped olives. Yes...who doesn't love Bacon...lol! For the main course, had to get the King James...oh yeah! Creamy brie, kurobuta pork belly, red onion marmalade and truffle aioli..Burger done right! Portion was huge and the crunchy pork belly was a superb alternative to a typical bac on. This burger was one of the best ones I've ever had and I'm coming back to try the Fat Elvis....mmmmm...w/ peanut butter :) See my pics.

    On our first visit to Rok we did not have the best experience. Two of us ordered burgers and they both came out overdone. We sent them back. I'm sure no one cares about the blow-by-blow, because it's the real world and shit happens. The burgers themselves are tasty and (overcooking mishaps aside) prepared with care and good ingredients. My only gripe is that the ratio of burger to bun and other stuff is wrong. The burger gets a bit lost. Lobster corn dogs are great but we would have preferred a spicy dip to a sweet one. Onion rings were excellent, fries were very good plus. Service was forgetful. I won't rush back but I will give them another chance one day.

    I have heard so much about this place and we planned a date night to enjoy some burgers and drinks. We wanted to arrive early since this place can get really crowded on a Friday night. We all made plans to meet here at 7pm and we arrived at 6:45 to get a table. We were pretty lucky. As soon as we got there we asked for a table for 6 and the host took up right to our table. Perfect way to start of the night. No waiting. While waiting for our friend to arrive... we decided to order drinks and an appetizer. Being a yelper and checking in- I was able to get a free cocktail!! This is why you should love yelp!! :) I ordered a margarita. We wanted to try something new and the Lobster Corn Dogs with spicy honey mustard caught our eyes. If you have not tried these you definitely should. They were so delicious. The combination of lobster with cornbread was amazing. After finishing my margarita I wanted to stick with a tequila drink so I chose the Pablo Diablo. It was good. Not my favorite but strong! The drink consist of avion silver tequila, lemon juice, creme de cassis, ginger beer. Now to order my amazing burger! I had to go with the Rok:BRGR however instead of bread I tried to be "healthy" and order it in a lettuce wrap. Which was a great idea. I was able to almost finish it all. I am a fan of the aged Vermont cheddar, maple pepper bacon and the bourbon bbq! This burger was made to perfection. I am craving it as I write about it. As a side I ordered the loaded tater tots! My first pick was the sweet potato friend but they are so popular that they were currently out. Bummer! So, the loaded tater tots would do. OMG! They cheese, sour cream, and bacon all on top of the tots were amazing! For dessert we all decided to share the rum cake! It is made in house. It was also good. We all loved it. Thumbs up to our waiter. He was always attentive and our ordered were ready quickly. He was outgoing. I will definitely be back!

    Solid. I am a burger aficionado. I've had them all. Rok Brgr is as solid as they come. The bun is high quality, & the bacon at this place is amazing. The fries and stellar as well. I had the Black & Bleu and the Rok Brgr both were excellent. High quality meat as well but not the best I've had. The place is classified as a Gastropub but I'd definitely call this a burger bar. I haven't had their other comfort food options but there are only 4 with additional salads too. But when there are so many awesome burgers why have all the other stuff??? The location of Rok Brgr is awesome. This is a great place to come when you've had a long day and wanna come chill, have a good burger and hang out for the night. Located in the center of Ft. Lauderdale's bar heaven, this place for right in! BAM!!!!

    I really enjoyed dining at this spot. We came here on a Sunday night and it was not crowded at all. We had a group of 12 and were quickly accommodated. The service from Tal was impeccable. She had awesome recommendations and knew her stuff. The food was great too. Big portion burgers with upgrade options. I was able to put an egg on the King James and I was thoroughly satisfied with food and service. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area and wanted a burger.

    I bought a Groupon for a $20 credit here and we went to try out their burgers. When we got there nobody greeted us at the door so we sat down. After waiting ten minutes I got up and got the menus myself. Still nobody came to help us and I had to go get a waiter who needed to go get another one. Finally, we ordered the ROK:BRGR and the Bacon Jam Burgers with sweet potato fries. The burgers were over cooked and kind of shabby compared to Charm City or Alibi's. For a $15 burger I was definitely disappointed. The beer selection was good and 4 beers later with the burgers and fries our tab was $60 which was way overpriced. Even with the Groupon deal I felt like it wasn't worth it. You even have to pay for parking out there when it should be free if you are dining in the area.

    I was still a vegetarian on my first visit to Rok:Brgr and had the house made veggie burger which was quite good. I don't usually order french fries but I'm glad I decided to try them, nice and crispy and salty :) The next time their I'd given up the veggie lifestyle and had a turkey burger. The patty was maybe just a little bit dry but still pretty good and went ahead and tried the sweet potato fries which were really good. Fun, casual atmosphere and the ecclectic downtown Fort Lauderdale crowd make for a fun lunch or dinner. There's a nice beer selection to choose from and a free cocktail thanks to a Yelp check in is a pretty nice perk!

    The place was great, clean and trendy. it was much busier than the restaurants on that street. The restaurant had a great selection of beers and a full bar. I had the King James burger with Brie cheese, caramelized onions and pork belly. The side of truffle aioli perfectly complemented the fries. The burger was delicious - a burst of rich flavors. My friends had the chicken Birdman sandwich with chipotle Gouda and they were also very happy with their choice. Our server, Tal was very attentive and patient through our conversation. She was great and made sure our beers were always full.

    OK I have to downgrade my review after my Father's Day experience here. I also went for the Finals of the Heat game based on my friends superstitious suggestion (she went last year for the Heat playoffs). I called to see if they were taking reservations on the Thursday prior to Father's Day (Sunday), I was told they were not. I checked their website and noticed they were giving a free bottle of champagne to table's for Father's Day. So we got there around 12:30 and of course there's not a seat to be had #great. We find one seat at the bar and my dad stands, not optimal, but doable. We order a drink (still free mimosas for ladies so I have one) and more seats at the bar open up. At this point, we just decide we will eat up at the bar b/c it's faster and there's still no tables (good thing I didn't make a reservation #sigh). We order 2 rokbrgrs (Dad M/R mine M/W) and extra ketchup (as they only give you that one little eyewash of a ketchup). I inquire about the free bottle of champagne and was told "it's only for families". Now that's just kind of shitty, we didn't invite Mom b/c it's Father's Day...I'm 34 and I don't have any kids...I'm an only child...What exactly constitutes a family???? If I brought Mom or the Dog would that have counted? So that lost a star for them. With that said, Dad thought it was pretty shitty, my friends thought it was pretty shitty (i.e. I told everyone that it was shitty- word of mouth advertising... #goodstuff) and we all agreed it wasn't really the best thing to say. I was; however, getting *free* mimosas (although they were rather weak) so I ordered a glass of champagne that I topped off w/ the end of my other mimosa (and they didn't charge us). My burger came out and it was definitely more on the M/R bloody side then M/W but now it's like 1:30 and I hadn't eaten breakfast so I just ate it as is. So this was like a 2 star experience for me. Definitely did not meet expectations, it was a holiday, and my Dad (his first time there) was unimpressed as well. Total bill was around $50. Now, on to the Heat Game night. Sat at the bar again b/c I noticed they had burger and drinks specials when we were here for Father's Day. We got here around 7 pm b/c we wanted good seats. They had 3 burgers on special for $10...but here's the kicker not until 9 pm when the game started so that really sucked. So we had our minds set on the 'special burgers' but then had to change them. So I wanted a Turkey Burger on a Wheat Bun....then was told they were out of wheat buns. WTF? How are you a hamburger joint and out of buns when you only offer like 3 to start with????? So I got it wrapped in lettuce and boy was it wrapped in lettuce it looked like a cabbage patch kid was hiding in there! No-one could really tell me if the Turkey Burger was more white meat, dark meat or a mix. It was OK I wouldn't order that there again. We stayed until around 10:30 where we watched the last 10 mins next-door at Tarpon...Bill was about $180 with tip (there were shots involved as well). At the end of the day, I think this is HIT OR MISS (with more misses on my end) .

    To make a long story short, I walked in sat at the bar at about 2:30 pm and was given a menu from what appeared to be a nice lady. After pondering the menu for a few, I couldn't help but notice everything was over priced. Nonetheless I was interested in the California chicken sandwich (free range)$13.00 and the Canadian french fries( poutine) $8.00. I purposely closed and shifted away from me both the drink and food menu so the bartender would know I was ready to order. But she just keep fiddling with some things under the bar with rubber gloves. After she decided to stop fiddling under the counter she took off the gloves and asked me if I was ready to order. I told her what I wanted, then I asked her what they had to drink non-alcoholic as there was only alcoholic drinks listed in the menu. She said they have sodas and juice, I asked her what kind of juice and that is when the real bizarre behavior began. She just ignored me after that and started talking to some Alec Baldwin looking dude minus 80 pounds who walked up to the outside ordering window. She poured and brought him I believe it was a draft budwieser and then took her time taking his order, walked back over to me and was punching in his order with her back facing me. I was looking at her like she was crazy. I always say what starts sour is going to end sour, so I ended it as quickly as it began. I just got up and walked out and drove to Paradero bit.ly/18CxnPh and had some delicious BBQ. My yelp friend Megan J had a similar bizarre customer service experience bit.ly/137WyEG . I should have taken heed to my fellow Yelper but I didn't. Of last note, I noticed some reviewers complaining about their credit cards being compromised at this location. So I am actually glad I did not eat here, to much head ache and potential head ache.

    This place has real good food!!! Went on Friday evening and had the Burger special with the siracha sauce /bacon/fried egg..Every bite was heaven!!!!!! The truffle fries was yummy and so were the starters (We had the lobster stick and a mac and cheese) Only thing disappointing was the 2 beers that i ordered (the Bengali Tiger & the other I do not remember ) was not available. Ended up having a lychee martini which was fine but hey beer and burger is like brother and sister!!! Service was great but sitting in the bar I did notice how the bartenders had to take the take out orders on a loud crowded setting. Just looked weird that after every 2 minutes you had one of the bartender holding one ear and shouting on the phone. Definitely a place to visit and personally cannot wait to come back and try the other burgers!!!

    I've got to admit, I have a hard time paying the Rok prices for a burger. Once you've gone over $10, you're out of my zone. Thus, the four stars. That being said, the burgers we had were really good. We had the King James, which was good but not great. It seemed to have less beef and not too much of the toppings, it was tasty, but not worth the $15 charge. The "Cowboy" aka "Yelp Burger" was terrific. It definitely needs to be on the regular menu. The beef was a little more rare than I'm used to for "medium," but wasn't too far off. It was juicy and had great flavor. The pulled pork on top was tender and flavorful and the sauce was topnotch. The onion straws were thin, crispy and not greasy. The cherry on top was the parmesan truffle oil fries - they were absolutely worth the $2 uptick on price. While it's not somewhere that I'd go often, it would be good for going with a friend and sharing one of the burgers.

    Started with the rok shrimp. Very very good. They use rock shrimp, which are sweeter and taste closer to lobster, than shrimp. Got the namesake, the Rok brgr for my main dish. Added bacon jam and this thing was meaty perfection. Ask for LTO as they don't automatically come with the burgers. Add truffle oil to the hand cut fries, and you have yourself a masterpiece. Will be back soon.

    The best burgers I have ever had!!! I am not normally dazzled by burgers (more of a delmonico steak girl), but these are succulent, juicy, and oh-so-delicious!!! Worth the wait in line!!! We bring all of our guests here at least once a visit!! We always order THE PEGGY burger: Horseradish chedder, Braised Short Ribs and Bourbon BBQ sauce combine with ROK BRGR's succulent burgers and brioche bun for a sensational experience that will have you salivating at the thought of another bite and keep you returning for more!!! Other tried and true favorites are: - The Las Olas- straightforward burger that highlights the delicious taste of Rok Brgr's burger blend. - Southwestern Burger- Jalapeno Jack Cheese, Roasted Poblano and Chipotle Jack Cheese make this burger a tasty delight! For non-beef eaters, we have also enjoyed: - Veggie Burger - Riverwalk Tuna Burger - Cali Chicken Sandwich This spot is a must visit for all our guests. With something for every eating preference on their menu, everyone leaves delighted!

    Kobe Waygu beef burger with gruyere, hickory smoked bacon and caramelized onions - the Las Olas! Gourmet burgers, but loud tourist crowd. The onion rings are the best anywhere, and if you have never had parmesean french fries with truffle oil, get em.

    As the stars state I have experienced better. Especially from this place. I love ROKBURGER but unfortunately the service has gone down hill. The food itself is still fantastic, but I got to tell you most of the staff (especially the young Hispanic female bartender) on the day shift could care less about your experience. I hope the evening shift is better. The female bartender (I ate by myself at the bar along with others) was too busy texting her boyfriend and doing homework to care about any of the hungry patrons around her. She never bothered to serve or even to acknowledge most of the customers. To add insult to injury she never mentioned the great 50 per cent happy hour they have. The food - GREAT. The service - SUCKS. A customer should not have to wait for an employee to finish a word problem and ask for water, ask for napkins, and wait for long periods of time for service. Especially a place that was not even 20 per cent full. There are many other great places opening up and around Rokburger - TAPS, and Tilted Kilt. I hope something gets fixed soon because I am not going there again. The Burger was great, but not worth the stress on my lunch hour.

    A short and different review. We went to Rok Brgr to try the Yelp burger (apparently called a Cowboy burger, too). After watching them emerge from the kitchen we decided to order two burgers for the three of us. The Yelp burger was huge and the King James burger we ordered for our second burger was a pretty fair size, too! As the burgers were delivered to our table, I got to taste a few of the regular fries and a few of the truffle fries... and literally, two bites of the King James burger. It was all good. And then my cell phone buzzed. It was ADT and the home alarm had gone off. So, I am going to pass on reviewing the burgers any further. What I did taste at the restaurant was good but my mind wasn't really in the moment anymore . And the cold chunk of burger at home isn't going to be a fair representation. However, the truffle fries and the regular fries were great at the restaurant and even cold at home! When are cold fries good!?! I guess the answer to that one is, "when they come from Rok Brgr". (And the alarm was either false or discouraged the would be break in from happening... not to mention the huge teeth on our guard dog! And she was hungry. We hadn't fed her before leaving for Rok. Guess she was disappointed that her snack got away... !?!)

    I love burgers and I love a good burger joint, and Rok:Brgr is a GREAT burger joint. Delicious burgers with unique toppings, cool atmosphere, friendly staff, open late, good section of beers, and bacon jam with fried eggs on your burger! This place reminded me of a place I'd find in Boston or New York, just really urban and low key. They have a bar and inside and outside seating with really chill music playing. We shared the poutine fries which weren't the best because the fries were a little soggier than normal and the curds weren't as gooey, I had but I have had them in Maine so that's why, BUT they were good and I was happy they had them. We also shared the short rib mac and cheese... OMG the bomb! So goof and I would go back just for that. I ordered the southern burger and it was southern deliciousness, my boyfriend got the Rok Burger with a fried egg and he really loved it although he said it was a little sweeter than he expected, probably because of the maple bacon. My sister got a classic burger with a fried egg as well and loved it too. We got regular fries and some sweet potato fries, all were good. For beers the waitress knew a lot about their flavors and helped us pick beers that she thought we would like but also would taste good with our burgers. The burger I ordered isn't on their menu I think anymore but it had fried green tomatoes, which they forgot to add, but my waitress went back and got it. The bacon jam, get it, it's good, soo good.

    My wife and I split Lobster corn dogs, a Bacon jam slider, Fries, and Mac and cheese. Everything was good, but not great, except for the mac and cheese, which was so bad that we couldn't finish it. That was a real disappointment considering all the raving reviews. Could that many people be wrong, or was it an off day? IMHO, this place is no where near worth the price. I could have spent less at Seasons 52 and gotten a 4 star meal. On a positive note, the place was busy, and service was good.

    Decent burger place. Lots of options. Very classy/trendy place. Prices are average. Quality of food is pretty good. Went there with my brother and two friends for dinner. We all only got burgers and fries, so I can't speak for the other food options they had their, which seemed like things I'd want to try. The burger itself (I got a Morning Glory w/ truffle fries) ended up being good. Wasn't the best burger I've ever had, but nevertheless held up to a higher standard than most other places. Nice atmosphere, good service, and the food came at a decent time. If I am ever back in that area, I'd go back and try some of their other food options.

    Great beer and French fries both regular and sweets. We started with the beet and goat cheese salad which was a cery mice portion and was quite tasty. I had the lamb burger med rare which didn't really have enough lamb flavor. Asked the server to sub the space for the red onion jam. Only I was never informed that for the little dollop I would be surcharged. Frankly, it added nothing but sweetness and wasn't even worth it . My guest had the turkey burger which we specifically requested to be prepared medium so it still was juicy. We had to send back as it came dry and tasteless. Second attempt was on the mark. I've been here several times as its convenient when we go to an event in the area. If it weren't for that I wouldn't go out if my way to eat here.

    Their burgers are absolutely to die for! We came on a monday to get the $10 burger deal. We ate outside with live music. The guy was playing cover songs but it was very enjoyable. I ordered the bacon jam burger and it did not disappoint. We also got the sweet potato fries and regular fries, both very well seasoned. We also came here for my birthday for their sunday brunch. It was very busy as it was bottomless mimosas. Their brunch is just as good as their other menu!! We had a variety of entrees including the fat elvis waffles, shrimp and grits, chicken and waffles and the hangover sandwich. The rok burger hash was our least favorite of the menu selections. The service was great and the manager was very helpful and accommodating to our needs since we had such a large party.

    This is another fantastic find on yelp (thank you yelp gods) There's plenty of pay parking all around and some street parking too. It's a small place, very mellow and cozy. They're known for their burgers, but if you only try one thing I recommend the lobster mac n cheese - it was amazing. My wife and I couldn't stop eating it - we nearly filled up on that before we even got our burger. Can't remember the burger we ordered, it was one with some "special shrooms" - but there was so much stuff on it we couldn't get a bite with everything. We resorted to breaking it down and eating it on our plate with a fork and knife. I would definitely go back and try more of their menu.

  • Jen S.

    Burger was great, Fries were great. The mac and cheese was disappointing. Although there is mention of truffle oil in the recipe....good golly...there was an overwhelming flavor that basically ruined the dish. Way too much truffle and the macaroni itself was basically the same from the Kraft mac and cheese. I'd go back for the burger and try other items on the menu. Good service too.

  • Brian K.

    Rok:Brgr did not "rok" anything but my patience. Although the food was reasonably well-executed, the service was absolutely abysmal, to the point where it soured the entire dining experience. To add insult to injury, I dined here in the middle of the afternoon on a weekday when the restaurant was at less than one-quarter capacity. As such, I simply cannot fathom how this place fares with weekend crowds. Food: Rok:Brgr is a self-professed gourmet burger bar and gastropub with a modern approach on comfort food. The menu is comprised of approximately 17 different signature burgers, as well as a variety of appetizers and side items. During my visit, I opted for the "Burger Bar", which allows you to choose your own meat (angus beef, angus beef prime, kobe beef, turkey, chicken, or ahi tuna), bun, and toppings. Most of the toppings are priced separately and fries are not included, so the "Burger Bar" option can get pricey. I ultimately went with the chicken burger with goat cheese and bacon, which was both sizeable and flavorful. I opted for the fried pickles for a side, which were nicely breaded and perfectly fried. Service: Glacially slow and borderline inept. Our party of seven waited an eternity to be served drinks and the waitress couldn't even keep the orders straight once they did arrive. Not surprisingly, the food took even longer and different members of our party received their entrees at varying times. The waitress also brought my order of fried pickles out as an appetizer, after I had a clear discussion with her during the ordering process about bringing the dish out as a side. Atmosphere: I was told that the space was intended to look like a prohibition era speakeasy, and to that end, I think they've succeeded. The overall feel of the place is generally dark and minimalist, with brick lined walls, black upholstered booths, and a seemingly scattered array of simple wall art. Cost: Slightly overpriced for the quality of the food offerings. Appetizers are $5-$14, salads are $7-$10, signature burgers are $10-$18 (include fries), non-burger entrees are $8-$14, and desserts are $4-$8. Other: Free off-street parking is not available, so depending on how long you plan to stay, your best bet is to utilize a street meter ($1/hour) or the nearby Nugent Avenue Lot ($5 flat rate).

    This place is not cheap, but the food is delicious. We came here after a few drinks on a friday, and were actually able to get a table outside...major ++++. We got an appetizer of fried pickles, no lie, the best I've ever had. The dipping sauce was perfect, the batter was crispy, and the pickles were just right. not going to lie, it was hard to share this, I wanted to eat them all. We also shared a Bosh Burger, cooked to medium. Nice combination of cheese and sautéed mushrooms. The burger was massive. This one I'm glad we shared. By the way it runs for $16 I believe. Of course our meal wouldn't be complete without fries. We got the french fries with parmesan and truffle oil. These were ehh. They tasted good, don't get me wrong, but they were a bit soggy for my taste. Overall, I'm already thinking of the next burger I want to try. Awesome experience.

    If you like a real char grilled burger robust with char flavor it is hands down the best I've tasted. Burger Battles have been won elsewhere for their stacked toppings, but a burger here doesn't need much. Sit at the bar because the sidewalk outside needs a good pressure washing!!

    I was one of the first bartenders to start working here back in 2010 and one may assume that you get sick of eating from the kitchen you work at day after day...but never have I NOT craved their food (even after moving away). Their creatively robust varieties of burgers they offer are all delicious. They have several kinda of fries and more sauces than you know what to do with. Oh and bread pudding it out of this world. The venue is small but they expanded their outside seating so the wait shouldn't be as long as it used to be. I recommend this place for tourists, locals, and well anyone that wants a big juicy burger and a great cocktail:craft beer :)

  • Jennifer O.

    The best local burgers can be found here. Our favorite is the Bacon Jam sliders: kobe beef, brie cheese and maple bacon jam. So.......good! Depending on what you decide on, the prices are a bit on the high end but the menu provides an array of options. All of the staff ranging from hostess to bartender to server and food runners are all very nice and happy to help. There is outdoor seating and it gets very crowded especially on Fri/Sat nights.

    This trip to Rokbrgr was specifically for the yelp special and for that burger alone I give 3 stars. I have other burgers here and they have been quite tasty so I gave this place an overall 4 stars. But back to the yelp special. This burger had so many things on it including cheese, coleslaw, fried onions and pulled pork that I think the flavors actually canceled each other out. Don't get me wrong, it was a huge and rather yummy burger, but it was not the wow flavor explosion I was hoping for. I went with a friend and we split the special which was more than enough for both of us. The special was $14.50 and we upgraded our fries for another $2 and then enjoyed 30% off with our yelp check-in. I am looking forward to going back to try another one of their creative burger combinations.

    Rok:Brgr is located in the popular area of downtown Fort Lauderdale where most of the clubs and other popular bars are located. Despite this fact, Rok:Brgr still manages to stand out and have a strong following, much so that they even opened a second location in Miami. Rok:Brgr has a great selection of unique gourmet burgers. In their words, this is where you will find a ultimate burger experience with over 17 signature burgers and a "create your own" burger section. On my visit, I went with the Bacon Jam Burger which consisted of all types of goodness including a 10oz. certified angus beef "PRIME" patty, creamy brie cheese and maple bourbon bacon jam on a brioche bun. It was a juicy and huge burger! The burger was pretty pricey, but was worth it. I had my burger with the Truffle Fries. It really isn't anything special, more like Fries with a load of parmesan-reggiano on top, but it was okay. My boyfriend, who was dining with me, kept it simple and ordered the Classic Burger with Handcut Fries. Although the standard burger, the quality of the ingredients shined through and you tasted the gourmet deliciousness of the burger. Burgers may be the main focus, but this is still a gastropub, so they do have a nice selection of craft beers and offer a few homemade cocktails. There are a few other popular gourmet burger places that compete with Rok:Brgr but in Fort Lauderdale, no one can touch Rok:Brgr. Mouthwatering burgers, lushworthy drinks and noticeably good service make you want to come here.

    When we first arrived and sat at a table outside it took awhile for someone to attend to us. We were there on a Saturday night and it wasn't overly busy so we surprised to see that no one was coming over to us however we could see the staff standing outside by the front door talking with each other. We finally had to go up front and ask for a server and then she came over quickly, We ordered a bottle of Pinot Noir which was okay. The food was very tasty. We ordered the Morning Glory which was delicious, the Kobe Sliders - which were over cooked, and the parm truffle fries which were great!!

    Rok Burger doesn't! After 45 minute wait for a table - the self proclaimed "owners lackey" (wearing a white shirt and black Kangol hat) gets a table for six ahead of several people waiting. They offer "Complimentary Mimosas" if you wait ....but then never serve you any. If you want to hang around with 20 something's trying to look cool - then this is the place for you. If you want great food, service & drinks - skip RokBurger and go to The Royal Pig around the corner!

    Rok:Brgr was hands down the best meal we had in Fort Launderdale. I was wary that it called itself a gastropub and that they specialize in burgers and beer, but it really delivered above my expectations! We ordered the: D Wade burger Beet goat cheese salad The value is good for price point and serving was a good size. We weren't even that hungry but we polished the plate. Everything was super fresh and crisp. Although I wasn't a huge fan of the fries, it was bad enough to keep me from making a return visit. The service was good and for the most part just let you be. The ambiance is dark and fun, with plenty of tv screens and a cool bar.

  • Veronica L.

    Let me start out by saying that this is an amazing place for ladies to get together and do brunch. Their menu is great and they have unlimited free mimosas. I was very skeptical about this whole free mimosas thing. I was scared it would be like some places in which they serve you your first glass and if you're lucky you get a second one IF your server ever comes back. The case was quite the opposite! Now let me tell you that I will drink mimosas like water and they did not dissapoint! The server would constantly refill our glasses as soon as she saw we were running low. Not only did she keep'em coming but they tasted great too! They weren't weak. Id say, maybe 70/30 on the champagne to orange juice ratio. By the time we paid the bill we had 33 mimosas and that didn't include the last round before she gave us the bill (we were a party of 6) Now to the food. Everything we ordered was great! I particularly recommend "the hangover" sandwhich. It's everything you ever wanted on a plate! I'm talking a fried egg, maple pepper bacon, siracha aoili, avocado, and cheese on mutigrain bread with a side of crispy tator tots. You cant go wrong for 13 bucks! My girls also ordered the rok biscuits, the fat elvis waffles, and a veggie burger. Everything was great. I would suggest getting there around 11. I noticed that by 12:30 it started getting pretty congested but they still gave the ladies mimosas while waiting for a table. They have a dj spinning inside which may get pretty loud inside but it'snothing unbearable. The staff was very friendly and attentive which is hard to come across nowadays. My girls and I will definitely be coming back.

    This area is known for the nightlife but I am sold to come back for their food especially the Sunday brunch! First of all, ladies drink free mimosas during the hours of brunch. Already a win for me, but then the food came out. I had the hangover sandwich and my boyfriend had the Kobe sliders with tator tots on the side. Both items were awesome! The hangover sandwich had fried egg, bacon, cheese, avocado and siracha aioli on multigrain bread. I am picky and have high expectations of taste and value. With that said, I was surprised how great it was and it doesn't hurt to have multiple TVs with football on to entertain my boyfriend lol.

    Good burger. Fries were good not he best. Noise level was through the roof so if you want to speak to the person you are dining with don't come here. My one complaint was that when I asked my server for honey mustard on the side he said that would be 50 cents extra. Okay but at the Cheesecake Factory down the road I don't have to pay extra for dressing. So what's up with that?

  • Tomas B.

    For a Quick Lunch with a 2 colleagues per the referral of a good friend and wondering what took me so long to find this place? First off downtown FLL it has to be jumping during arts center events and or evenings, but quiet on this Monday. Valet parking off to the side - meters every where no issues at noon. Inside cozy feel to it with high bar - also inside to outside seating which opens to the bar and table side seating as well on SW 2nd Street. So far so good. Menu is very diverse from comfort food to various sandwiches and of course their burgers. At work so just some sodas though a full bar and various beers on tap and bottles available. Today ANY BURGER on menu $10.00 Ok fair enough especially when certain burgers approach $19.00 the Prime burger. Kept it simple $19.00 prime burger for $10.00 - Included 10 OZ piece of juicy top shelf meat with Carmalized onions, smoke bacon, some sauce, lettuce tomatoes, pickles, and side of fries hand cut. Simply stated I'd give it a 9 read below to see why. Only issue was I thought the bun was slightly hard, can't imagine stale, but it wasn't perfect it was downright close to Hard. Hand cut fries were OK nothing special. Second Burger was traditional angus burger same size with basic trimmings with hand cut sweet potatoe fries. This was a 10... on a seasame bun not a brichote which was fresh, and although I prefer my Steak Prime, burgers need some grease, this one was flavorful, bursting with juice and had my buddy going UMMMMM. Sweet Potatoe fries were outstanding and much better than the regular cut. 3rd Item was a short rib grilled cheese that has you going OMG the minute it hit the table. Oozing out of the sourdough was mountains of short rib meat with cheese everywhere. the Truffle Oil fries with parmesan were absolute Killer. Bottom Line Bar Type cozy place would be solid 5 Stars - marks off for Brichote Bun on prime burger & regular fries were OK - everything else top shelf. Will try some more of the menu and report back bottom line GOOD STUFF.

    A friend and I were in town for a cruise, and we happened to be catching a show at Revolution Live. We were looking for a place to grab dinner before the show, and It didn't take very long to be wowed by the menu being offered up by Rok:Brgr. I mean really, any place that offers poutine AND mac and cheese, they'll have me at.....well poutine and mac and cheese. My friend and I wanted to make the most of this dining experience, so we each selected a burger for ourselves, and then the poutine and mac and cheese to share. It pained me that I had stooped so low as to order an item called the "King James" a burger obviously named after Lebron (they also have the D Wade and Bosh on the menu as well). I guess that's the price to pay for being so close to Miami. But for reals though, it's not my fault that the king james was a 10 oz. Waygu beef patty with korubuta pork belly confit, brie, truffle aioli abaiogtbasrahbtuibaet..sorry that was me going off into a food seizure. Where was I? Oh yeah, red onion marmalade all on a brioche bun. The burger was a behemoth. With the poutine and mac & cheese already making its way down to my stomach, I could only tackle half of this bad boy. And, with us going to Revolution Live, there was no way the rest of King James was going to come back to my hotel room with me. This is quite possibly the one and only time something named King James would be sexy to me. Anyone who is a genuine lover of food knows that there is no worse agony than that of being not only, having the inability to finish something so delicious, but to add insult to injury, the inability to take it with you. I now have a friend who recently moved to Ft. Lauderdale that I will be visiting early next year! You can bet I'm going to convince her to come here.

    We defaulted here for Sunday brunch when there was an hour wait at O-B house and people were just starting to arrive at rokbrgr. Although we were one of the first tables to sit inside so they were obviously not busy it took the waitress an extra long time for us. The only positive comment about our experience was free mimosas for ladies and I used my yelp check in coupon for my boyfriend's mimosa. Very good - especially considering the oj wasn't freshly squeezed. The waitress was slow and seemed frazzled. Now, I know it confuses people that I'm vegan but will on rare occasions eat eggs if they are organic, and since farm fresh eggs were on he menu that's what I wanted. I asked if the potatoes were cooked in butter - they were, but the tots are cooked in oil. So I ordered two eggs over easy with tots. As we watched food roll out of the kitchen with anticipation, we realized it was taking way too long. Eventually our waitress explained that there was a mixup with the printer that was delaying our order. No worries, it happens; however, how come everyone else's foods was filing out? Eventually we got our meal. I was disgusted when I had a pile of bacon and buttery potatoes placed in front of me on the same plate as my eggs....and a side of tots. I explained to the waitress I only ordered two eggs...she started arguing that is how that menu item comes out - as if she had forgotten our entire previous convo about the buttery potatoes. She didn't argue for long though...brought my food back and ordered my eggs. I reminded her later that the eggs shouldn't be cooked in butter either, but I'm not sure that message got through. My eggs were runny and my stomach hurt the rest of the day. I had also asked for two eggs, one yolk between them. Apparently too much to ask of their kitchen - not a huge deal for me but would have been nice if they could have tried to accommodate. My boyfriend had the hangover, his opinion? "Meh." I seriously doubt I'll be back. I understand when one or two things go wrong but between bad service and lack of attention in the kitchen it's too much to excuse.

    I've joined friends at this little 2nd street gem a couple of times. The food was lovely, the drink prices have always been surprisingly cheap, (half price cocktail Wed, 1/2 priced wine bottles another night.) The service was quick and friendly, in spite of how busy the restaurant seemed. I'm not a big burger eater. I get a craving every once in a while, and ROK:BRGR satisfied me beyond my expectations!

    From fancy burgers to simple classics, this place has great burgers and other food. The lobster corn dogs are especially tasty and unique. Great beer and drink selection. Good fries and great deals on Mondays.

    Best burger I've ever had! I was actually sad to have this on vacation & that I couldn't frequent here. Definitely coming back next time we're down here! Bring one to New York please!

    I come here often and can't believe I have not reviewed Rok Brgr yet! The food is amazing and I always have great service but maybe that's because I sit at the bar each time? My favorite time to go, is for Sunday brunch. I sit in the exact same spot and sip on mimosas while people watching. I've tried several of their menu items including their breakfast tacos, tuna tacos, french toast, veggie burger, and my personal favorite lobster BLT! Oh and I can't forget about the tater tots that are cooked to perfection- golden brown, crunchy outside soft inside YUM YUM!!! Neil is the manager and always make sure that everything comes out perfectly. The bartender, Kelly also ROKS! She hustles to make sure everyone's drink is full, makes food recommendations, all while smiling and being personsble. Let me not forget the awesome DJ, Luciano who keeps the crowd entertained each week with all types of music. It's one of my favorite brunch spots!

    Came here on a Saturday night. They did not give us a large enough table for our party. The girl with with black hair and septum piercing - avoid! They charge you extra for honey mustard - they charge you $.50 for condiments. The food was average. The fries are little and bootleg. They only have one bathroom stall. Staff is rude and Un-attentive. Imitation lobster in the lobster Mac and Cheese. Drinks are very strong. Sweet potato fries were tasty. Good atmosphere. It's average. Not a totally wasted experience.

    This place is sooo good! Had the jam burger, with the truffle parm fries and both were delicious. Service was fast and friendly. Friends had the rok bottom burger with onion rings and the black and blue burger with regular fries both would recommend. Definitely coming back!

    Love the location, right on Las Olas Riverfront area w sidewalk seating, it's got a great vibe. As a gastropub, the food is much better than a traditional bar or sports bar. And the presentations were great - huge portions, with most burgers being 10 oz. the truffle fries were delicious and the garnishing a on the burgers were fresh and flavorful. But I did find my burger and bun a little drier than what I would expect for a $17 Kobe burger....

    Avg 15$ burger. Beef quality: 0. Not organic, not Bison, not grass fed, nothing special. Bun too small to absorb all burger contents. Making eating it, almost possible. Won't return.

    Sat at the tables outside. Nice area to people watch waitress was great. Food was delish. Burger was big, juicy, flavorful and unique. I had the "my burger" so I built a Kobe Beef, swiss and mushroom. I enjoyed every bite. 4 stars due to the letting a couple with a dog sit at the bar and very small beer on tap menu. I would go back for sure.
