Only tried it because I heard it was under new ownership (it used to be awful it now has new owners, and it 's still awful). In fairness, the fried brie starter I had was lovely and my father really liked his cod things. But, I ordered a Caeser salad. I 'm not a salady person, but I love me a Caeser. What turned up was a mixed chopped salad with that nasty red bitter lettuce, onions, tomatoes, the world 's smallest ever soggy crutons and a dressing that looked and tasted like it was left over from a 1970s Beefeater Prawn cocktail. Oh, and fresh coriander sprinkled all over the top. Don 't get me wrong, I love coriander, but all over a pretend Caeser salad? Non. No bueno. One bite. Gross. I politely said to the server that it tasted a bit off . She told me to hold on. I held on. Enter Mr Chef dude. He proceeded to mansplain that it WAS a Caeser salad, because it has Caeser dressing on it (highly debatable, but whatever Mr Chef dude). I told him, no, a Caeser salad is romaine lettuce, crutons, shaved parmesan and a dressing made from garlic, dijon, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Worcester sauce and anchovies (sometimes egg). Mr Chef dude looks at me with a steely glare. I 'll make you one with romaine lettuce then, he snarls. I decline. What do you want then? He growls. I tell him nothing. [I 've worked in enough kitchens to know better than to eat anything after you 've sent food back.... worth remembering BTW peeps]. In their defence, they didn 't charge for the faux Caeser salad. But no apology — at all. Oh, and my mum 's meatballs sucked too, but she didn 't say anything because she was too embarrassed. However, the server took her full plate away without even asking if things were OK or if there was a problem (huge red flag). So there you go. If you do go to Rocky 's then step away from the meatballs and swerve the Caeser salad. ... go for the fried brie and the cod things.
It's a bar, nothing else to add.
Sorry no pictures to share as I was too hungry to stop and take photos. I had the Brie to start, followed by the roast beef which was gorgeous. The veggies were cooked to perfection and so nice to have both the Yorkshire’s and roasties home made. I was then really greedy and had the sticky toffee pudding with custard. Couldn’t fault a thing. Great service too by all the staff.
Best Sunday lunch in Nerja. Four of us each tried different means. So tender and succullent. Not pre cooked sliced meats. Potatoes and yorkshire perfection. Not usual veggies though.
Spent a lovely evening on the terrace .. great service and lovely food. Steak night excellent value for money.. garlic bread, steak dinner, sirloin 330g and bottle of wine €55. Would recommend checking this place out.

Only tried it because I heard it was under new ownership (used to be **** it now has new owners, and it 's still ****). In fairness, the fried brie starter I had was lovely and my father really liked his cod whatever they weres. But, I ordered a Caeser salad— I 'm not a salady person, but love me a Caeser. What turned up was a mixed chopped salad with that nasty red bitter lettuce thing included, onion, tomato, the world 's smallest ever soft crutons and a dressing that looked and tasted like it was left over from a 1970s Beefeater Prawn cocktail. Oh, and fresh coriander sprinkled all over it. WTF?!!!! I love coriander, but all over a pretend Caeser salad? No bueno. One bite. Gross. Politely said to the server that it tasted a bit off . She told me to hold on. I held on. Enter Mr Angry Chef. He proceeded to mansplain that it WAS a Caeser salad, because it has Caeser dressing on it (highly debatable, but whatever Angry Chef dude). I told him, no, a Caeser salad is romaine lettuce, crutons, shaved parmesan and a dressing made from garlic, dijon, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Worcester sauce and anchovies (sometimes egg). Mr Angry Chef looks at me..... angrily. I 'll make you one with romaine lettuce then, he snarls. I decline. What do you want then? He growls. I tell him nothing. [I 've worked in enough kitchens to know better than to eat anything prepared by an angry chef.... worth remembering BTW peeps). In their defence, they didn 't try and charge for it. But no apology — at all —and Mr Angry Chef dude 's attitude seriously stinks, even for a chef. Oh, and my mum 's meatballs seriously sucked too, but she didn 't say anything because she was embarrassed and the server took away her full plate without even asking if things were OK or if there was a problem (huge red flag). So there you go. Personally, the biggest issue for me is having a nasty angry man right up in my grill just because I pointed out the Caeser salad ain 't a Caeser salad, and that it tastes off. Maybe they don 't care about customer service because they mainly cater to tourists who only go there once. Or maybe their customers love **** to mediocre food and nasty surly chefs. Who knows? Who cares? I don 't, I 'm off to Colombia in six days. But yeah, if you do go to Rocky 's then step away from the meatballs and give the Caeser salad, a really wide berth... go for the fried brie and the cod whatever they weres. Oh and pray that you don 't bump into that chef dude in a dark alley.
Tapas Thursday was excellent great choice and only 2 euros each with generous portions. I chose 5 from the varied options and was full. Lovely setting and well looked after by the team with them being friendly and well organised will definitely be back
It was ok…. We went for tapas night which was nice, we were expecting more Spanish typed based tapas but got very English fied tapas. I.e roast beef and horseradish, spay bol etc etc Upon ordering a beef burger tapas it was hot on the outside bun and cold on the inside of the mince. Overall very average food with much better options in town : . Will go back again to try again on another night (not tapas
Fantastic family run business. Very friendly and welcoming. Food was fantastic and a good selection freshly cooked. The pil pil prawns are amazing. And the hog roast on the Friday was so good. Hopefully we will return soon. Thankyou
