Quarter pounder meal was nice burger, wasn't very filling though, chips were more medium portion rather than large but tasted nice. Rocky meal was a little spicy, wouldn't go for it myself but chips again were medium portion rather than large. Kiddies loved the nuggets!! The chips well there wasn't enough of them. I asked for an extra portion of chips with BBQ dip at the drive thru, when I got home they weren't there. Can't be sure I paid for them because the only receipt I got was the visa one. Drive thru was quick, staff were very nice, polite and efficient (except for the chips and BBQ). I will go back again when it gets quieter, but over all today a 6/10 for me, but willing to go back. I'd say it's main local rival would be McDonald's, for what I paid, I would have gotten more food there. A choice of between MJ's and Rocky - MJ's would win for me.

Kicks, punches, belly flops, the whole 9 yards. There male friends weren't too bothered about dragging them apart either. That crap our town can do without, I suppose it was dinner theatre for those dining in la scala though

It feels good to drive, they found no major problems with it. Advised me on tyres, that I need. They gave good feedback on what they did, and saw. very friendly to deal with and I would recommend these lads to anyone looking for a mechanic. Pleasant and professional to deal with.

(1)order took approx. 12 minutes to take & they still got 2 of the burgers completely wrong! (2)tried to order meals to be told 'don't do it in meals' we pointed out menu saying otherwise directly overhead....(3) training clearly TOTALLY lacking, and no, not just chaos of opening day, basic training clearly abysmal (4)fries were -as stated- on the small side and not nice- hot and kind of greasy. Burgers were moderate/ok, one person had Panini/focaccia thing and said it wasnt great either. Marks out of ten by the group ranged from 4 to 6 out of ten. Competition for McDonalds...maybe as long as novelty lasts, certainly nowhere close to as good as MJs - although MJ prices don't go down as nicely as their food does.......... All in all, we wont be back to R.M and when looking for that sort of nosh or in that part of town will definitely head towards MJs!!

Its so nice to be able to get a proper handmade burger rather than the usual frozen pattys you get from the rest.

I've had 3 bad run-ins over the years with them, and I was sober for each one of them, I actually wouldn't even be able to write here two of the things that were said to me by staff in there. I always have the debate of how bad do I want an incredibly expensive but oh so good chicken burger after a night in the Abbey :P

Danae1 wrote: » LOL, nice one counterlock! Re. Rocky Mountain responses: I have informed them about issues (saw manager in there at the time). Got 'opening day hiccups' and 'we'll look into it' response. Again each to their own re food tastes etc. but I think we will definitely stand by MJs or McDonalds if we go for burger up that end of town again! Or support other locals like Ray's Loaded Lunches if we are in need of stuffing for a decent price......
