Default rockys bar ...not impressed

Okay so currently in Sosua for 3 months and decided to head to Rockys the other night because i had heard so much good stuff from you guys about the place. Okay the food was nice ..... when it finally arrived. An hour and a half i had to wait for fried chicken and chips and burger and chips for my boyfriend now that is not good service in my book.First the lady took our order my boyfriend had to be in work in an hours time we waited like 40 mins after that time i went up and questioned were was the food ,ok so 10 mins later it arrived 2 X burger and chips hey its not what i had ordered but thought hey its ok .Once the waitress left the table and realised i had not ordered burger and chips she promptly removed it from in front of me and told me i didnt order that and must wait for my meal....ok.So my boyfriend now had to go to work another 30 mins i waited for my chicken and chips and was left sitting in the restaurant alone . Dont think ill be going back there in a hurry my advice go to the Brittannia bar much nicer and you are never kept waiting.

A mix up with orders can happen in any restaurant from time to time, no?

I wouldn't black list a place based on one mix up - like you said, the food was nice.

Man, one bad review after thousands of good ones.

Sorry Rocky, without her business, I guess that you will need to close the joint and apply for food assistance.

But, before you get to the "food assistance" line, do you mind bringing me an order or your famous ribs?!!!. LOL.

Calm down darling, you boyfriend is Dominican so he must know that it can happen anywhere.

A long wait is traditional at Rocky's. It is not fast food but slow food. And good food. And sit and drink a few beers and relax while you wait food.

And well worth waiting for food!

So sorry your expectations were not met. But I hope now you realize what the place offers.

Just a suggestion. Next time when your boyfriend is running tight on time because the Animation Teams evening show is starting soon, call ahead to Rocky's at 809-571-2951 to get the order started.

I once grew a beard while waiting for my ribs.

Rocky's is a place you go to when you are not in a hurry and you want to chill out and soak up the atmosphere for a few hours.

What's the rush?

Anyone in a rush in this country needs to find another place to live or visit. The only people in a hurry here are the drivers and moto conchos.
