Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Want to eat at a place where the staff actually cares about each diner, spends time with them (despite a bare-bones staff); serves delicious food & drinks...all at a reasonable price?? If so (and who isn't), then you have to give Rocco's Creekside a try...guarantee you'll be back multiple times. Since there are only a few "rateable," full-service restaurants in the Phoenicia area, it's pretty special that one so nice is here. Not brassy or fancy...just good food, well served."
"Amazing food and 100 % highy recommended. As a New Yorker, always try to find amazing food treasures on my travels. If you're like me the food was absolutely delicious and the service was great. The people were so friendly and welcoming."
"Their bacon cheese burger / FF hit my hunger spot. The burger was phenomenal, cooked just like I like it. Service was very good. Sure beats all the local McDonald's stops with the same old boring burger taste, during the covid outage."
"I stopped by J Rocco's from a wonderful weekend trip. The food was so satisfying! The portions are huge and tasty. I would definitely come back. Thank you!"
"We stopped here to have a dinner and it was the best decision at that day! Great service and great location. There're tables inside and outside. Also, it's next to the riverside! Beautiful place!"
"Nice place! We sat outside overlooking the creek. Great menu...I had shrimp tacos and the shrimp was cooked to perfection! My dinner mates lived their plates also."
"Great food. Friendly atmosphere. Will recommend everyone to try."
"A nice casual restaurant which has plenty of seating both inside and outdoors. Patio is included. Pet friendly outdoors. Besides providing the patio J Roccos offers a spacious out door dining experience which includes a fire pit tables and it surrounded by wooded trees and the ever so popular Espus Creek. We opted to sit outdoors close by the creek. We were welcomed promptly after arriving and seated. The server explained how to place an order. A large chalk board is provided out doors as well as indoor also server will offer tge specials of the day. A full menu with plenty of options to choose from is included on the board. Dinner entrees include 2 sides and a trip to the salad bar. I was excited about the salad bar seeing as salad bars seem to have become a thing of the past in many restaurants ever since covid. The salad bar offered many fresh veggies as everything was nice and fresh. I loved the argula lettuce. After order was placed our drinks and food came out fast and efficient. Pricing is excellent as well as food. I highly reccomend the bbq ribs half rack entree. Extremely tender bbq sauce was delicious and the slaw French fries were a good choice. Delicious. I had a nice ice cold beer on tap which hit the spot and paired well with the entree. My partner had a strip steak and would highly reccomend his entree. The server was fast but at the same time took time with us and we appreciated her educating us about the georgeous Espus Creek. We both were to full to have tried the desserts the restaurant had offered. This restaurant is a popular place for the local people to come. And I can see why. I love the put door setting including the awesome fire pit. Relaxing and lovely. You should visit J Roccos visiting the area. They do not disappoint! Thank you J Roccos for the upmost pleasurable dining experience. We hope to dine with you again next time we visit the Catskills."
