    Great service, excellent food. The drinks were well mixed with a god balance. Waiting to see if they do more signature cocktails, maybe something to play off the smoky flavors of the barbecue like scotch or mezcal. Definitely a good date spot. Garbage Fries and Barbecutrie Board are real winners.

    Great place to enjoy drinks and some great BBQ. The atmosphere strikes a balance between cool and intimate, making it ideal for a quiet date night. Dim lighting, comfortable seating, and no overwhelming noise create a space where conversation flows easily. If you’re looking for delicious food, fantastic drinks, and a stylish yet relaxed setting, check out Bitter Truth

    The service was wonderful at our table, our server was so pleasant. The sides were delicious and the cornbread was truly the highlight of the meal. We order the trifecta and the ribs were so dry, same with the brisket. We’ve been guests at red rock before, so we were expecting something even better considering the price influx of everything and it didn’t met our expectations.
