Bistro Roca was recommended to us so we had lunch on a recent trip to Blowing Rock. Three is us had their burgers and one had pizza. Two of the burgers were not very moist, very dry, while the pizza was also dry and approached the consistency of a cooked piece of cardboard. The service was great and our waitress was fantastic. I could be persuaded to go back a second time to give this place another shot but it certainly would not be my first choice.

Unfortunately, can’t rate the food. google shows that the restaurant is open till 3 PM. We showed up at 2:20 and we were told that they will not be able to serve us today because the kitchen closes at 3:00 so we just had to leave. Service: 1

We stumbled in here, thirsty and hungry, after a tough hike on a hot day and we were not disappointed! In fact, we stopped here 3 times during our week in Blowing Rock. Fun drinks and bartenders with fantastic food. We ate at the bar twice and I'm still dreaming about those eggplant frites!! We also ordered the Habi Mac Cheese and wood fired pizza and both were excellent. For our 3rd visit, we went to brunch, and I restrained myself from ordering the eggplant frites for the 3rd time. Brunch wasn't too impressive in my opinion. Not many things on the brunch menu but the pimento cheese and smoked olives were very good, we ordered the french toast and it was fine. I'm not sure I'd return for brunch but I will definitely return for those eggplant frites!!!

After making a reservation a week before our trip to Blowing Rock, we arrived at the restaurant Friday afternoon a few minutes before our 1pm reservation time. We were seated promptly. Sadly, that 's all that happened. We sat. For more than 15-minutes in fact. No one came. Nobody brought a glass of water. Nobody came by to say, Sorry, we 're a bit busy. We 'll be with you in a minute. We apparently became invisible. We 've eaten at Bistro Roca many times over the years and have been pleased. It 's a nice restaurant (or at least was) with prices commensurate for this level of establishment. Anyway, on this visit their customer service suddenly nosedived and couldn’t compare to the worst run McDonalds. So, faced with spending north of $60 for two people to eat lunch at a restaurant whose staff demonstrated they couldn 't care less about their customers, we left. The host, nor anyone else, said, goodbye or thanked us for coming in. Sad such a once nice place has declined some much over time.
