My wife and I have been here three times together,and my wife has been there quite a bit with friends and with work colleagues.My wife always has pizza which she thinks are great.I've had chicken and ribs twice which were underwhelming and today had a Philli Cheese sandwich.The filling was tasty enough but it was a very meagre portion but the most awful bit was the dry bread roll.There was,no attempt to spray a bit of olive or another oil on it and then griddle it to crisp it up,make it softer and tastier.It simply was a very dry almost stale bread roll.I imagine that there are no cooks or chefs behind the scenes and that all of the food comes in pre- packed and is prepared on that basis.The place is very clean,the staff are great and prices are reasonable.They need to address the poor quality of certain food they offer for sale, some people would want to order other advertised foods other than pizza and burgers and should expect a reasonable standard of quality.This was my third visit and the third time I was dissatisfied.We were the only customers too so workload was not an issue.

Went for a late lunch/early dinner with my husband and 2 year old son. ordering wasn't a problem as it wasn't busy. wait time for our food was OK. my sons plate came out hotter than the sun so had to request one that wasn't going to cause him burn as we could barely touch it. I ordered a medium/rare steak which came out very well done. my husband had the chilli and chips which was dry and no flavour of chilli. no table checks were done as it seemed staff were more interested in their phones. although our meals were edible they didn't reflect the price we paid. we were quick to eat and leave as anyone with a 2 year old knows they don't like to hang around.whilst getting our sons coat on, get him into his pram and get our things together a serve thought that was the right time to clear our table. As we danced around each other he did ask if everything was OK, we told our meals weren't as great as we had expected but he didn't seemed to care. Just felt like they could of waited for us to sort ourselves out before trying to get rid of us.feels like they lack basic customer service unfortunately.the decor and music is on point tho.

A Tuesday late lunch with work colleagues, so it was quiet. Staff were friendly and helpful and the pizza was delicious. Wanted a Brownie so had to bring some of the pizza home.Would eat here again.

Cool venue and great grub.Visited with my folks and enjoyed a nice meal.The food took a long time to come out but was worth the wait.I had the Greedy Pig burger. A tasty thick burger patty with a good amount of pulled pork. The bun was buttered nicely but needed sauce because it was quite dry. Fortunately the lovely coleslaw on the side came in handy!The wedges were really big and the portion was generous. Definitely worth having over the fries. They could've been a bit hotter and crispier though.The ribs were great, good flavour from the meat and marinade.My Mum enjoyed the salmon with maple glaze.I'd recommend a visit if you're in Torquay.

The service from the girls behind the bar was great. Ben, the food runner, polite on the ball and efficient, The BEST and hats of to the CHEFS was the food, only a burger but by far best burger in torquay hands down messy to eat but the flavour packs a punch, do not have the fries, have the potato wedges they are proper ones not pre made in the bag.

Ordered using the app and didn't receive drinks so chased them up at the bar, asked if they'd received our food order and they said yes, waited an hour and ten minutes for a vegan kebab and a jacket potato, food was Luke warm but edible, chips were a bit on the cardboardy side. Not worth an hour's wait while other tables were leaving and asking for refunds. Rock garden used to be a great place to go for lunch, seems like it's gone downhill. 2 stars since food was edible.

Good value for quality of produce served. Served pleasantly and efficiently. Only slight problem was the disabled radar toilet, found unlocked and I was unable to lock it - therefore unable to use!!

Asked for wedges with my Caribbean Chicken. The wedges came out cold and only part cooked and the chicken looked like it had been grilled and then had a dollop of bought in sauce on top. When I asked the waitress if I could have fries to replace the wedges, the moment she took the plate back out to the kitchen, there were at least 6 members of staff all craning their necks to look at me. Felt like I was part of an exhibit. Definitely not worth the cost of the bill.

Food was excellent as usual. Good value for money. Sadly one meal was missed which meant a long wait for one of our party but this was rectified as quickly as possible and we all enjoyed our food.Vegetarian options: Good vegan burgers availableParking: Large car park within short walk

I just want to say a big thank you to everyone at rock garden, me and two family members came for food a few weeks ago (which was great) my sister unfortunately fainted and all the members off staff who responded quickly and helped with the situation I can?t thank enough. Just an update for all that helped she?s doing absolutely fine. Thanks again will be visiting soon.

Nice place. Great food. The service was very slow though considering how quiet it was when we visited.

A niche bar/restaurant. Was busy during our time there (12:00-13:30).Have to say service was disappointing. Table staff never smiled and wanted to remove plates whilst others were finishing food.Food was ok. The Big Breakfast came as advertised. However it did only come with 2 small mushrooms and a warmed tomato.Could have done with some card coasters to keep cold drinks from dripping.

Love this place, never fails to disappoint! Amazing and varied menu with so many choices for Vegan & Vegetarian - and not just a vegan burger on offer! Great selection of drinks and cocktails too. Always super staff and excellent customer service, there's always a really nice vibe to the place too. This particular visit was with a few of the girls and we all enjoyed our meals. Even though it was a Monday there was live music on which was great and a nice surprise! There's also a large outside area, great for the Summer! As always, a fantastic visit and of course will be back again soon!

This place is amazing, the garden? wow, loved it. You?d forget you?re in the town once there.Didn?t eat here so unfair to comment on the food but judging on everything else about this place I should imagine the food wouldn?t be a let down!

Best meat-free burger I've had in a long time, everyone else's food was great also, not much of an atmosphere midday but I've been here in the evening when there's live music on certain days and it's been really good.Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian options, better than the vast majority of restaurants.
