I am so disappointed in Rock@88 (Rocket 88) Lynnwood. I used to love this place and the service used to be great. I love the food, especially the garlic bread, bacon sosaties and potato salad. Yesterday my dad and I wanted to have a celebratory beer after the Springbok World Cup victory. It was about 14h00 in the afternoon. After greeting the waiter at the door, we politely asked him if he could throw away my coffee cup, since I could not find a bin between Groenkloof Butchery and Rocket 88. He flat out refused, and seemed irritated with us. We walked in and he did not follow or offer us a table for two. For this reason we decided to find our own way and hope a more cheerful and helpful waiter would approach us. Some waiters started hovering near us, only to (loudly) move a bunch of tables and chairs around. All the waiters seemed irritable. No one even noticed us. After a few minutes, feeling really disappointed, we decided to leave. No one noticed or cared or greeted us. What a shame for Rocket 88. Overall impression: Rocket 88 could not care less about its customers. It’s a crying shame.
Yesterday was my first eating experience at this branch of Rock@88; and absolutely my last. I ordered Skilpadjies (dry and tasteless), crumbed mushrooms (soggy and and lukewarm) and kaiings (soggy, not crispy at all). Even after sending it back, the quality of the new food did not improve much. This rubbish must have been heated in a microwave or cold/old oil was used to prepare the food. The service was mediocre as we constantly had to look for our waitress. When I compare this to Rock@ Moreletta, the Lynwood branch might as well close its doors. They will never see us again.
First visit to Rock@88 with friends. When we got there, we were taken to our table. Our waitress took good care of us and I liked the “green-red block” that you can turn up and down (red – you need service or green- everything still ok). Good variety of meals on the menu. We had the following:Biltong soup (7/10)Braai broodjie (8/10) with pork neck steak (8/10)Ribs on Roosterkoek (8/10)Boerie roll (6/10)Burger (7/10)Spicy wings (4/10)A bit disappointed with the wings, but the rest of the food was ok.
After having so many pleasant experiences at Rocket 88, this past Saturday we went back but this time around wasn’t all that. It seemed like the meal portions have considerably shrunk and we definitely had the last scoop of the potato salad. It consisted of mostly mayo and 5 very shy pieces of potato. The cheese on the braaibroodjie was also not completely melted, but good nonetheless. After looking over to the other table across from us the lady had a very generous portion of potato salad and it seemed way more appetizing than mine.Other than that the beer was cold and the service was excellent!
Everything braai, at its best! Great drinks, cocktails, cheapest Stella Artois draught in town. Building your own plate of braai delights tasting better than you could ever do it yourself! Coming here forever!
