Great atmosphere. The bartenders are always on point during the night time rushes and the servers are always extra attentive when it comes to handling food and service.

The view on the deck is amazing overlooking the Rappahannock River!! The food was delicious and served with great presentation! We enjoyed the Brussel Sprouts, mini crab cakes and red skin mashed potatoes! Delicious all around!! The service from our first seating by the Manager and to our waitress, Merci was out of this world. I have been here several times on trips through Fredericksburg and will continue to stop!!! Highly recommend you to stop and check it out!!!!!

We recently celebrated my birthday and decided to make dinner reservations at Brock's. I was actually surprised that many of my friends have never dined in and tried their food before. It's known more for the bar scene but please don't sleep on their food! Brocks is delicious and they have so many options for guests with dietary restrictions. When we arrived, we were immediately guided to their beautiful dining area with a large table for our reservation of 12. Our server wasted no time ensuring drink orders went in as our party slowly arrived. We ordered so much food but I only have a few pictures to feature. Starters: The Crab & Spinach Dip was wonderful and the tortilla chips seemed to taste more like a fried pita. They were the perfect vessel for the dip. The Calamari was good and had bits of bloomin onion mixed with the squid. Everyone loved the cajun remoulade that was served with it. The crispy brussels sprouts were cooked to perfection with the drizzled candied bourbon glaze. The egg rolls were gone before I could get a picture so I'm assuming they were just as tasty as the rest of the appetizers. Calamari Crab & Spinach Dip South Western Egg Rolls Crispy Brussels Sprouts Entrees: The salmon & goat cheese salad was very filling and we subbed the balsamic for the lemon parsley vinaigrette; which was awesome! The shrimp carbonara wasn't a "carbonara" but I loved it. It was flavorful, the shrimp were cooked perfectly, and the champagne cream sauce was so creamy. I would absolutely order it again. Salmon & Goat Cheese Salad (sub lemon parsley vinaigrette) Crab Stuffed Shrimp Glazed Salmon Shrimp Carbonara The food was amazing, the atmosphere was great, and the service was fast and attentive. My only complaint is that they ran out of the jalepeno cheddar grit cake that is served with the crispy pork shank so I unfortunately didn't get to try it. I'll try it next time we go.

We had our family Christmas eve dinner here and everything was really great. It was a little crowded, but we had reservations and was seated right away. The had a very kind waitress who really was attentive with us and very friendly. Forban appetizer we had the crab and spinach dip with pita, and it was amazing, tasted great. For an entrée I had the crispy pork shank with butternut squash and asparagus. The shank a little to crispy on the outside, but the porkwas very flavorful and juicy. The butternut squash and asparagus was really good. My wife and grown kids really enjoyed their meals as well. The atmosphere in he restaurant was very good also and the pricing wasn't too bad either.

Another long time bookmarked restaurant checked off. A few months ago I visited this restaurant twice and had two different yet enjoyable experiences. This restaurant along the Rappahannock River in Old Town Fredericksburg fires on all cylinders. The first time was in the formal dining area where we ordered bacon wrapped scallops (delish), steak and stuffed shrimp (too small but tasty). After dinner we ventured to one of the many bar areas to enjoy a drink or two... possibly three! The outside bar area overlooks the water but it was nightfall with no visibility... day time next time. This area is a more causal atmosphere with live music, friendly crowd and various seating options. The second time out we skipped the formal dining and headed straight to the outdoor bar. We ordered wings, crab diribs and other bar foods which were all surprisingly tasty. My friend ordered wings to go they were so good. Another win for me was selecting a place where he was able to smoke a stogie, drink an Old Fashion, Manhattan or shake things up with a beer, eat good food and watch the basketball game all in one setting. The bartenders are very aware and attentive. We witnessed one bartender (shorter female) ask a patron how many drinks he had and gave him water instead. The fact they are paying attention for the safety of patrons and others is next level and shows care and concern. One bartender (younger male) made an extra effort to prepare a requested drink for my friend that he had never made before... to perfection I might add and he even remembered the drink during our second visit. I will DEFINITELY return to enjoy the restaurant and the Rappahannock River view.

This is another Fredericksburg gem! The atmosphere was amazing with breathtaking riverside views, courteous service, and tasty food! We enjoyed our meals so much that dessert was not an option this time but will definitely be a goal for our next visit because the dessert tray looked amazing!

Brocks Riverside has A LOT of layers to it. Sitting smack on the water, it's similar to a "Mullet", party in the front business in the back..LOL!! So, the front is set up like a tavern/ sports bar, the rear is fine dining and to the rear right is the covered outdoor bar area where you have live music, DJ spinning old and new hits, firepits, hookah and yes, it's cigar friendly which caught me by surprise first visit but damn sure not the second..LOL! First time out, the formal dining room was the scene where awesome food was served. The 12oz Ribeye and the crab stuffed shrimp were both delicious, however, the shrimp were on the smaller side so they may want to find these shrimps parents for future meals.. Lol! The bacon wrapped scallops were an amazing appetizer. The margarita definitely needed a re-do, but the friendly server had NO problem exchanging it for a fantastic mojito. After dinner, it was time to kick it on the cool patio where there are two additional bars and like I said in my opening paragraph, all the other festivities are happening. The cool bartender didn't hesitate when I asked for a Sidecar. Even though he had never made one, he looked up the ingredients and nailed it first time out!! I was still full from dinner but when I smelled the buffalo wings and saw how plump they were, I had to get a to-go order. Yes, they were as good as they smelled..LOL!! My second visit, a formal meal was skipped and headed straight to the rear action! The drinks and service were awesome once again and after one stogie it was time to leave. St. Patrick's Day weekend was here and that place got super packed super fast...Exit stage right but I will DEFINITELY be back!!!

Love love love the new outdoor dining space. The food was so good. The last time I went to Brock's the outdoor space was not finished but it looks amazing now. The service was good as usual. No complaints. There is plenty of parking on the side of the building. I had the salmon which was very good. Definitely recommend checking it out.
