Stopped by while passing through Rockdale on 3/14/26. Since I was alone, I sat and ate at the bar. Food was good, service was good, beer was cold. Nice atmosphere, great service, great experience. I will return!

Wonderful experience! Definitely a town favorite. Drink menu is on point, a lot of options. The AMF is a must to try, but you can't go wrong their margaritas. A lot of options, and friendly staff, you can't go wrong giving Maricela's a try.
