Roca Bar

My husband and I are Evansville Natives, so when we heard that the original Roca Bar had undergone a "facelift", as well as new owners - we were curious and couldn't wait to give it a try... we were NOT disappointed!! We decided to do carry-out, and ordered about 30min ahead of time... When we arrived to pick it up, it was hot, fresh and ready to go!! My husband ran inside to pick up our order, and said he couldn't believe the renovations!! It was a slightly long drive home, as it smelled SO good LoL We decided to try just a simple pepperoni pizza (as we have kids) and they mentioned they had new wings available, so we ordered some BBQ wings, as well. The pizza was awesome, it had a crispy cracker crust and plenty of pepperoni under a thick layer of gooey, delicious cheese - I must admit, they even nailed the sauce!! BOTH sauces actually, the pizza sauce was delicious and the sauce on the wings was devine!! Surprisingly, they were the best wings we've had in town in quite sometime!! We will DEFINITELY be back soon and look forward to trying more of their also newly renovated menu!!

It took almost 40 minutes to get our food. Then food was incorrect. We went during dead time. So a wait wasn't the issue. Plus the server seemed like she wasn't real happy to be there. Which I don't blame her. I got a simple meal. Post to be hot ham and cheese with green pepper and Mayo no onions. Bill was around $34 for two of us. Which isn't to bad. Yet service could of been better.

Pretty good. Companion and I went at 6:30pm on a Thursday night and sat in the bar. There was only one other table occupied. I don't know how many were in the dining room but the parking lot was deserted. We actually thought they were closed when we pulled up. The good: Pizza was tasty. We split a large "Round the World" (essentially a supreme). Edges were nice and crispy (maybe too crispy for some). Ingredients were fresh. Sauce is good We both had a draft beer. We also shared some fried pickle chips to start. The bad: The service. There seemed to only be one server working and the bartender kept having to give her directions ("You have a table in the bar", "Did you take their drink order yet", etc). I don't know if she was new or what. The bartender finally just took our drink order herself and brought our drinks to us. When the server came she seemed annoyed that we were there. When we ordered fried mushrooms as a starter, she came back and said, "We're out of mushrooms.". No, "I'm so sorry, we just ran out," or other apology. I know it's not her fault something's not available but still. No cross-sell, like, "I'm sorry, we just ran out of the mushrooms...but the fried pickle chips are pretty tasty, too. Would you like those, or something else, instead?". It went that way the whole time we were there. Oh, well... Beer selection was basic. Amber Bock is about as fancy as you're going to get. This is more of a Bud Lite or Miller Lite place. Bottom line: I'd go back one more time to try a stromboli but Turoni's has better service, better or equal pizza, and they make their own beer.
