Reviews of The Rockstone
D. B.
This was a very lucky find and whilst it may not be promising on the outside the inside is very clean, tidy and the food is exceptionally good. The ingredients are fresh, especially the salad and fries plus the vegan and gluten free options where very helpful for us.
Recommend to everyone who loves pub food to its finest 👌🏻
Thank you for a very delicious meal!

Lovely pub,amazing food and the most friendly and helpful staff. Gentleman behind the bar is fantastic with drink recommendations and Char must be the most friendly and welcoming person I've ever came across in hospitality. I'll make sure to come back next time I'm in Southampton!
D. H.
Great team and amazing food! Not on the menu, the the onions rings as a side dish are fantastic. A+
C. B.
Found this pub by accident but was very happy too. The kitchen didn't open until 5pm but as we just wanted a drink, this wasn't a problem. I was great to find a guvnor that was proud of his cellar work and it showed as the beer was top notch. Very friendly pub with great staff. We will be returning.
m. c. r.
Today's pudding is the best. Apple and blueberry cramble . Sublime. Great mains as well
K. E.
The burgers are very good. Good offers (e.g. Monday-Tuesday two burger menues for 22£, students day 30% off, ...). The service isn't that attentive but all in all it's a nice place to go with your friends.
j.
The burgers are very delicious with very large portion that I almost not finish it as well as its customizable meat which is great for both vegan and non-beef eater!!!
C. T.
Absolutely awesome meal, very tasty and great service. I had the hottest burger on the menu and my gosh it was a hot one. Extremely tasty and well worth it. It was quiet when we went but normally it is very busy I am told. I am glad that lots of other people think the way I do about The Rockstone. Great food, would definitely go back.
E. R.
Great pub for a burger meal! Visited a few days ago and was pleasantly surprised. When going for pub food I usually do not expect much, but in this case, oh my god! Very good burger selection (including vegan option). The portions were TOO big, we kind of struggled to finish them, so be careful with ordering. Having said that, everything was delicious! For me, the star of the show was definitely the cheese+garlic fries, super delicious and cheese/garlic was running through them, not only on top. Also, the cherry jam in the Heart attack at 63 burger was divine! Definitely recommend, especially for burger lovers and huge portion lovers!
A. P.
We had a small incident with one of the plates but we treated better that what we would expected. Great friendly staff and very helpful. I had the vegan burger with sweet potato and beans patty and sweet potato fries just brilliant! My partner had a bead burger with black pudding and blue cheese he absolutely loved his too. We definitely recommend it and we will be back soon. Parking next to the pub is up to an hour but there’s other roads around for up to two hours parking.
D. R.
Amazing food. Incredible selection for vegans and vegetarians (and if you're a veggie, you'll know that you usually have a choice of 1 or 2 items. This place must have had 30!!). Yes, it's pretty much all burgers, but they are seriously gourmet burgers!
I had the volcano ii converted to vegan and I've got to say that it is the first time that a restaurant had ever made something for me that is actually fiery enough! Made a very good excuse to sample some of the excellent beer to try and cool down!
We had intended to have dessert but after the monster starters and colossal mains, there wasn't any room left!
W. H.
Birthday meal out , great food, the burgers are amazing chips lovely and hot, goodcselection of drinks the rosrceine was excellent. Friendly helpful staff, most importantly the toilets were spotless!👍 Definitely will return and recommend to others.
S. B.
Read the reviews and decided to give them a visit. Very very comfortable settings, left alone to look at menu. Food was ordered and delivered really quick. Burger tasted like wow, and the fries with bacon salt were the stuff of legend. Massive selection on menu to cater for pretty much everyone's taste. Can't wait to go back.
I. F.
WHAT A BURGER, you will not be disappointed. Hands down the best burger in Southampton. You will need to book Monday and Tuesday on burger nights. Looking around the bar each table was double booked for the whole evening.
N. B.
Best burgers in town, cooked to perfection with creative specials changing every couple of weeks.
Come on a Monday and Tuesday for their best deal (2 for 22)
Dog friendly and fantastic beers to choose from
M. G.
If you only have a couple days in Southampton, make sure you visit here. The food is absolutely delicious in generous portions. The staff were excellent and the atmosphere is very pleasant.
Seriously though the food is epic! Definitely recommend.
L. H.
An excellent choice if you are looking for a gigantic burger and a good selection of spirits! A very relaxed and friendly atmosphere and the specials are always worth checking out.
A. N.
The wings were really good, wasn't a massive fan of the nachos and opted against the burger as they only had brioche buns. Will be back though to try more of the menu.
M. H.
great, tasty food including quite a few vegan burgers, large variety of beers including craft beers and tons of ales (both bottled and on tap), good selection of whiskies and rums - all this topped up with friendly staff!
M. P.
Great little spot. Very friendly staff with a large selection of beers and cocktails. They have a well planned menu jam-packed with outstanding options including vegan and vegetarian choices that will surely satisfy anyone. I am quite impressed here. And as a visiter to the UK and South Hampton they have definitely made this Canadian traveller feel welcome and right at home. Cheers on the outstanding job, you will definitely see me here again 👍👍🍻😁
J. L.
Some of the best burgers EVER on the planet! Reasonably priced given they are huge. It's a pub and can get a little loud but the staff are attentive and friendly and enthusiastic.
D. E.
I've eaten here a number if times in the last year because of their amazing vegan menus. Tried some really creative food and always enjoy my visits... Nice atmosphere and staff are always friendly and helpful. Look forward to an excuse to go to Southampton and eat there again!

The burgers here were incredible!! We were just driving through and had to stop for lunch so after a quick google we wound up here. Wasn’t expecting to have such an amazing meal! I had the beef burger with cheddar cheese and it was honestly the best burger I’ve had in years. Cooked to perfection and on the most delicious tiger bread bun. My partner also really enjoyed his chicken burger. At first we thought it was closed but turns out the outdoor seating is out the back, not the front. The staff were super friendly and although it was cold and drizzly we were warm under a heater. If we’re ever back in Southampton we’ll definitely be returning!
F. G.
We've spent here a nice family evening with some friends and families. Nice atmosphere, exceptional service. Friendly staff and the manager, Blanca with a bubbly personality, made us feel very welcomed. Nice garden, music, lot's of drinks to choose from, quality food .... Our kids had also an amazing time in the garden arranged for Halloween. Definitely we are going again and definitely l recommend The Rockstone.
R. B.
Interesting pub. Good layout able to seat large groups for food. The menu is beef or chicken burgers, but also some good options for vegetarians (plus gluten free option). Lots of real ale choices, and a large choice of ciders. I had a hell boy beef burger (with chillies). Couldn't finish all the burger, it's really big. And I drunk Unity Nocturne. A dark rich beer (slightly similar to Guiness, but a rich flavour, slightly fruity. After our meals were brought to us, there were 12 of us, we didn't see the staff again and they didn't clear our table. Shame as it was a great place. They were busy on this Friday night with 3 barmaids looking after the busy bar. There is seating out the front, and a pub garden. Some parking is handy in a small public car park opposite Lidls, 2 minutes walk from the pub on the same main road.
J. W.
The food was good. The service was good. But we were, maybe somewhat unfairly, disappointed as it's changed hands since we were last there and we didn't have the same burgers as last time! We used to love the choice and the over the top menu.
As I say say, I feel bad being disappointed as there really isn't anything to complain about with the food or service... But thats it!
E. G. B.
Amazing night out with friends. Great dinner!
Amazing service as well definitely coming back!
K. F.
Fantastic customer service, gorgeous food. Absolute pleasure of a stop off at this pub.
J. M.
Awesome little pub, great staff and the burgers are superb 👌👌
B. L.
Beer and food were very good great selection and very tasty. I think it may have changed hands as the menu was very different, still had a burger and it was huge and very tasty. Staff were really friendly and helpful do recommend
R. W.
Such nice staff, amazing food and drinks. They made us up this great food board and it was to die for😍
P. M.
Excellent vegan food during the "vegan fortnight" January 2018. Booking is advised as there are few tables and all were booked during our visit, we were lucky enough to visit very early evening and thus sit at a table book for a later diner. Good choice of beer. Not a large pub.
2022 and the pub is no longer 4 stars but now 3 stars. The menu is greatly reduced in choice, though want I ate was very nice. The bar is under staffed and really needs another bar server to avoid the slow delivery of drinks.
A. K. H.
After choosing to meet some friends who work at this classic retro style pub. I was amazed to see the creative menu and well balanced dietary preferences.
The many options of topping certainly extend past your burger too as the Head Chef Katie (known as Spud to her colleagues and friends) explained.
"If you want mac n cheese ontop your fries? Sure thing.
If youd like a fried egg ontop your suated potatoes? Go for it.
Fancy not just cheesey garlic bread but bacon or chorizo too? We can do it." Is the quote i got from Spud and her team.
As for the drink side welll i mostly enjoy a nice whiskey but after previous visits drinking. You definitely have to look into there different beers and dont forget thos lush cocktails. 😉 with a good range of ciders, largers, wines and Ales that change every few weeks. There plenty of choice.
My personal favourites would be the jammy doger shooter hat definitely tastes like the classic biscuits 😋 .
All in all go down and give them i try the landlady flavia dose her very best to make sure everything goes well and you enjoy the experience
K. N.
As long as I've live in Southampton, everyone I know has always raved about the burgers at the Rockstone - with good reason! The food and drink here is great, and reasonably priced. The staff are unrivaled for personality, and always around and attentive.
R. D.
A really nice place to eat and drink just the kind of pub i always try and get to.
A. B.
Fantastic pub. Great food, amazing customer service
Highly recommend
A. R.
I love coming to this place, they always make such incredible food. Just make sure you come hungry!
A. W. (.
Friendly staff, decent brews and good food, what's not to like!
T. P.
Nice, cozy pub. The drinks are great, the service good but the burgers quite over-priced (16-20 pounds).
m. h.
Absolutely brilliant!!! Food was next level, staff were really friendly, atmosphere was really nice and relaxed, will definitely be returning here and would highly recommend to everyone!!!!
H. A. L.
Rather pricey but burgers come in a big portion with a very substantial beef patty. Could not finish all the chips. Tables are also unbelievably sticky.
M. T.
Amazing local burger bar, good portions and even better burger creations.
K. H.
Was pleased when when I've been recently as the new owners are really nice, and have had some really nice exchanges with the staff when I've been for drinks - I go maybe about two/three times a month for drinks?
However not been for food since the new owners took over until last night, but was pretty amazed that they've re-done the menu the way they have. The Rockstone has been known in Southampton as a place to get the best burgers in town (arguably), then menu was great before and had loads of great beef, chicken and vegan options. Lots of combos, and great loaded fries/sides.
As a caveat, I am not 100% if it was just a smaller menu as it was a Friday night when we went there, but it's been drastically reduced and the format of the menu is all a bit unnecessary.
Example:
It's £13.50 for the basic burger (and chips). You then have a long list of (admittedly tasty) additions you can add in in to your burger. It quickly stacks up. They're all additions between £0,50 and £3, I can't remember exactly, but the ones that stood out, Avocado +£2, Cheese +£1, Bacon +£1, BBQ Pork +£3. Anyway, quickly the totals add up if you want a burger comparable to some of the old menu creations . Generally seems like it's too much to ask for £2 addition for what ended up being a couple slices of avocado on a burger?
Not to criticize too much, the food was pretty good, and the chips are definitely better, I'd also like to say again that the staff and establishment is great and the drinks are a solid price. However it seems a bit crazy to me that such an institution has had such a change - maybe they couldn't keep the old menu for some reason? Or perhaps the sheer extent of the old menu wasn't that profitable? This seems like a step in the wrong direction in any case.
Not to be too lazy, but would be nice if they had some sort of concise menu or burger options instead of a create your own only menu - (its the same format for their loaded fries too so you end up wondering why it is £1.50 to add olives on loaded fries, and then the same price to add them on a burger, surely different quantities are used?).
Maybe a more complete menu is coming, and maybe things improve over time, but felt this review would be a signal to previous customers expecting the old rockstone burgers.. that they're not. Obviously things change and I'd be fine with the changes the new owners have made if they made a few tweaks (like i say, the food was nice).
Tldr: Sadly the Rockstone appears to be turning into a more generic pub - nice as it is, and less of a great food establishment in the city. I'll be back for a beer soon I'm sure.
N. W.
Edit: under new management now. Nothing to write home about.
I can't recommend this pub highly enough. Their burgers and steaks are amazing. The prices are reasonable (except on Wednesdays when they are even better: 30% off for students)
I encourage any gluten free diner to try this pub. Their chefs understand coeliac and so you can enjoy a nice burger in a bun with a side of onion rings with no worries.
I love eating here, it's just a wonderful atmosphere with lovely staff, excellent food and great drinks. Can't go wrong.
T. W.
Good pub with a tortoise and bearded dragon knocking about during quieter times.
J. T.
The burgers here are awesome!! They make their own in-house sauces which make them great and unique. Lovely beer gardens
R. Q.
Great atmosphere, delicious food with a menu of the day, plenty of vegan and gluten free options and a great selection of burger toppings. We will be back!
P. S.
Great food, very helpful & friendly staff. I'll be back at Easter
C. G. (.
I'd recommend The Rockstone if you're already out having drinks and want a bit to eat on the side, but we wanted a chill meal out and hadn't realised that it was a pub that seemed like it was for pre drinking or clubbing. We were placed right next to a very loud DJ, surrounded by loud customers and found it hard to hear each other. This place gets a star for the lovely staff members, a star for the nice food, and a star for the speed of service. However, along with the volume and business of the pub, the chorizo in my burger tasted cheap compared to the lovely other ingredients in there and the bits on the side, it was on the expensive side, we had to remind them we had ordered onion rings. (We did book this table for a Saturday evening)
S. V.
Great food and great beer selection, what more could you want from a pub. A good selection of vegan food on the menu too.
M. B.
Very good sized portions and tasty beer. Table service could be improved, it was very slow and our waitress forgot some drinks.
H. L.
Had a roast dinner here 2/5, and it was excellent. The roast potatoes were superb, cooked on the premises. The vegetables were fresh and tasty. The beer was kicking! Will return here soon.
F. A.
The food and beer was amazing, well worth the money. One of the best burgers I have ever had.
I. G. L.
1. Something different.
2. Best burger in Soton.
3. Nice terrace.
4. Good quality/price.
5. £16.
H. H. H.
Lovely staff, couldn't be more accommodating if they tried.
Veggie options were very good, cooked to perfection.
Very satisfied and very full.
Thank you ladies, we will be back! 😁
J. B.
This place was amazing. The Buddha Bowl was one of the best I’ve ever had (and vegan!) and we had multiple drinks, appetizers, and entrees for £50! Definitely recommend!!
J. J.
Amazing creativity by chefs.. wonderful chill atmosphere.. great service. Highly recommend! Thanks for such a great introduction to South Hampton!!
P. P.
Amazing food, great service, good value. A brilliant evening. The tapas/starter menu was amazingly good. Definitely recommend!!! 🌟♥️
W. K.
Don’t order the burger if you want to drink more than one beer. You won’t squeeze any more. The best and the biggest burger I’ve ever had. Very good vegetarian options. Great and very friendly service.
E. T.
Great pub with good range of beer and cocktails, amazing food and the best staff. Friendly and approachable. Love this place.
C. C.
Staff always friendly and helpful. Food is amazing. Need ro remember to book a tabke bexause it is always packed...and rightly so. Love this place
R. B.
This is a lovely, dog friendly establishment. Lively and friendly staff, and a great place to wind down and relax after a hectic work week. They have a lovely refreshing menu and great cask beers.
R. O.
Friendly staff and had plenty of outside space, which was nice when every pub in the city centre was packed. Sadly no ale on tap, but they were very apologetic and explained they needed to do some work on the lines.
S. C.
This pub had an awesome atmosphere, their style and image is brilliant and very 'hipster'. They serve interesting beers and have interesting decor. It is often attended by younger locals, but is also family friendly.However if you order food, whilst it is delicious it is very heavy, so consider this when ordering drinks. The portions are huge also. My partner who is vegan wasn't to keen on the vegan 'pulled pork' burger, however I enjoyed mine, albeit unable to finish the meal.
B. F.
The this here is pretty good. The burgers are amazing. Huge portion, so will keep you full. Great range of beers and ales. Gotta book for dinner because tables do get taken up very quickly. Beer garden is nice as well for the location.
D. N.
Tasty burgers with big portions (arrive hungry and you won't be disappointed). They have a very good beer and ale selection, good veggie/vegan options and they are nice and friendly. Only thing is it's not the cheapest place around with main meals around the £15 mark
B.
Great selection of beer and spirits. Always enjoy trying the selection of rums. Burgers are amongst the best in town with too-big sized portions! Popular with students so must be good value!
R. C.
Lovely pub. Great to see it back open after lockdowns! Under new management it seems but the little tapas bowls and bar snacks are delicious!! We'll be back!
H. D.
Fabulous food and super friendly staff. Really would recommend. You have to have the chips they are super tasty especially loaded with Brie and bacon 🥰
J. S.
I feel like this place should come with a warning: huge portions!! Rockstone's have a great selection of burgers. I went for the last 63" burger, which came with a beef patty, grilled chicken breast, pulled pork and pickles. I also tried the 'heart attack at 63' burger, which had a waffle instead of brioche buns. Very interesting although a little sweet for me.
A. C.
Great hidden gem. Food menu is amazing with great burgers and some really unique combinations. Definitely something for everyone, including the more adventurous. For every meat option there is a veggie/vegan one too. Fantastic.
L. C.
Nice cosy place. Friendly and helpful staff.
Interior could do with a bit of update. And possibly more comfy chairs/benches
R. S.
It's a great pub with great beers and friendly staff. They have a good outdoor area at the front (with umbrellas) and an outdoor area at the back which is mostly covered. Definitely worth a visit
R. W.
Food was really great and staff/customer service matched apart from the place wasn't that tidy and clean. If it was a bit cleaner I'd definitely give it 5 stars.
My wife is a vegetarian and she has a lot of choice here compared to most places.
Burger was one of the best I've had.
Would love to go back on a day with better weather and have a seat outside, Even though it's right on a busy road.
Parking situation is not good either.
J. S.
Really great place with good atmosphere. Ordered the vegan roast which tasted amazing. The order got messed up but the guy was apologetic and sorted it out quickly so still a 5 star experience. Will definitely be going back.
N.
Nice little pub with lots of choice for drinks and food. Amazing chicken strips (super crispy batter) very pricey burgers l. Didn't try them as some were 16 quid a go so I can't comment to how good they are or if they're worth that price. They had lots of ales and Asahi on tap! But it wasn't on when I went. No parking- can stop for one hour on the road at side of pub. They have a beer "garden" (benches outside)
B. T.
Just got back from an amazing meal at Rockstone.
Best burger I've ever eaten (hellboy), with a super atmosphere and friendly staff.
Order got messed up accidentally, but the goodwill of a free bottle of wine was much appreciated.
If you're in the area, definitely check it out 👍👍👍
A. B.
Been coming here for years and will continue to keep coming back. Amazing drink selection, huge range of ales and too many different types of spirits to mention. Their food is incredible and has a great choice of vegetarian options as well. The burgers are what everyone comes here for and you need to try them!
l. n.
I'm pretty much a vegetarian, mainly because I find the taste of meat absolutely disgusting. Not really something I wanted more so just gone off meat. I loved a good burger but in the past few years I tend to want a burger but when I'm eating feel sick over pulling bits of bone and fat out of my mouth. I thought I try a burger here and my god first time I sat down and enjoyed every single bite without hesitation of spitting out the disgusting bits. The meat they use is extremely good quality and as much as I don't like eating meat, I'd happily slaughter a cow with a tooth pick for this place to make burgers out of it.
E. L.
Amazing FOOD, amazing beer selection. That place is a gem. Staff were very kind and helpful. Super positive and taking care of the customers. I felt quite comfortable. If you are after a nice place with good food, beer and music this is the spot!
a. t.
Food was amazing. Despite forgetting my food it was repaid for by the free gin and bottle of wine. I don't believe that my experience reflect the usual user experience. People make mistakes and I'm sure we all have in our own jobs so in rating this based on the food which was amazing
T. W.
We visit this pub/restaurant on occasions when we meet our friends that live in Southampton - they always recommend it highly as great wide selection of meals including plenty of choice for vegetarians/vegans. Hellboy burger may be the best burger I've ever tasted! Service could've been a bit quicker but that's understandable given we have visited mainly on weekend evenings. Will definitely be going back!
T. B.
Awesome burgers! Cooked to perfection 😍
K. A. L.
Absolutely Brilliant!
Excellent service and food, thank you so much for a lovely evening.
P.S our pooches love you guys!
Thanks for making them feel so welcome x
D. H.
Lovely food, gluten free diner well catered for, five star customer service. I'll be going back.
c. l.
Traditional pub feel with a good selection of specialist spirits, beers and ales. The pub is well known for their signature burgers as well as having a traditional pub menu. Prices are a little above average but a great experience overall
L. H.
Food was amazing so filling the burgers are top notch and on fathers day the drinks were free for me. Staff super friendly. If you love a good burger hit this place up!!
R. G.
First time at the rockstone (to eat) and I have to say VERY IMPRESSED!
The burger was HUGE (i went for the barbossa with jerk chicken and pineapple on top) and absolutely delicious. It certainly lived up to the hype. I would say that you get far too many chips with it so it is a BIG meal (but that might not be a criticism for some!)
Great selection of drinks, and very pleased to see Meantime Yakima Red on tap. Delicious. Not cheap, but for the amount of food on the plate, not badly priced either.
One note tonight... I left my sunglasses there and the young lad that works there walked up the road to us waiting at bus stop to return them to me. Great service!
Highly recommended, and can't believe it took me so long to visit!
T. D.
Can't beat it still. The bare faced deliciousness of each burger on the menu is unrivalled. It's not cheap, and therefore we only go when VERY hungry, but on those occassions it is so worth it! Beer, beer, beer all local and kept perfectly. Many stronger ales and craft on the menu.
M. F.
It was a good burger and chips, but they used to be better. Beer was good and staff were very good and friendly
S. H.
Went to the Rockstone for the first time today. I had a burger and my partner who is a vegetarian asked for a combination of two burgers made into one large vegetarian burger. The staff couldn't do enough to help us and the plates of food that was delivered to us was not only massive but tasted amazing. I would definitely be going back there and would recommend the Rockstone to anybody looking for a friendly pub that serves delicious food.
R. W.
Bloody awesome food! Decent feed for the money and plenty of beer, the one problem is which to choose!!
M. M. S. U.
Came here before for steak and burger but today came for the cheese n cider day. Amazing cider and cheeseboard and a great staff team that went out of there way to please. Very good. Will be back soon. Thanks guys
N. “. B.
Nice staff and good food. There's lots of vegan options. I had a 'Hail Saitan' burger. Their burgers are extremely filling, so I wouldn't bother with a starter unless you're really hungry.
W. P.
Always love the Rockstone great food ,long may it continue xx
K. Q.
A excellent selection of beers and sprites. The food is focused on burgers, but there are other standard pub food options. The portions are huge and it is always well cooked. It is a very busy place but the speed of service is ok even on match days.
L. b.
Was great food, good atmosphere, with friendly and helpful staff
J. G.
Under the circumstances they did really well, food was well seasoned and put together. Burgers not quite what they used to be but a really nice meal
I. A.
One of my favourite pubs ever! The food is amazing, the atmosphere is amazing, the staff is nice... Can't find something I don't like! They even have plenty of gluten free/vegan options!
J. P.
A great pub with an exceptionally good range of drinks: ales, craft beers, ciders, spirits. Also really good for burgers although you pay a bit more for them. Friendly atmosphere.
C. D.
Phenomenal drink choice from local and foreign beers on tap to a mind blowing hard liquor selection. Guaranteed something for everyone. Plus their food choice is pretty solid with a real speciality in burgers. Not too expensive, good busy atmosphere, worth booking ahead for food, highly recommended.
L. E.
Amazing Sunday roast burger! 2 Yorkshire's rather than a bun. Burger, bacon, stuffing rosti, red cabbage, tenderstem broccoli, tons of roasties and lashings of gravy. Nice real ale too. Could have been a bit quicker getting it but it was busy. Worth the wait.
S. C.
There's a reason this place is booked out so much. It's the best burger pub in the whole county. Variety, taste & also the amount of different drinks they have on offer is unmatched. Price for a burger & chips is steep but you get what you pay for, just too much to make it a regular thing unfortunately!
D. M.
This place was fantastic! I would go as far to say, one of the best burgers I've had. A really good selection and fantastic service also with professional and really helpful staff. Definitely pre book as it can get busy because they are very good!
T. L. B.
Overrated burgers that taste like they are made from cheap mince and have a huge load of black pepper added to cover up that fact. Due to that, it makes eating them a chore because they are huge and not very nice, and rather expensive. They look impressive, but don't be fooled. They couldn't even cook mine medium rare, which was slightly hilarious considering its size.
Otherwise great selection of drinks (many of which are overpriced) and friendly staff.
B. B.
Best burgers around!!!! Went for the 2 for 22 deal on a Tuesday and it was amazing!!!! I had more cheese gromit and the other half had some deathly hot one (forgotten the name) my only criticism is that the sides that cone with the burgers (chips and salad) could do two people there was alot of left overs on our table of 8. Other than feeling awful for wasting food due to huge side portions 100% will recommend and 110% will return!
L. F.
Amazing burgers, best onion rings ever and great seasoned chips

AMAZING BURGERS AMAZING BEER
Great pub and great staff. The beer choice was brilliant and i really enjoyed the food. If you want a burger and a pint this is the place to go. Best place in Southampton for burger and pint
m. a.
Not the greatest of burger fans, but they almost made a convert out of me, a tad expensive but worth it. Good beer reasonable choice. Nice friendly environment. I'll be back.
R. I.
The burgers in this place are out of this world! I called up and booked about a week in advance for a Tuesday and still managed to end up on the table next to the toilet which wasn't ideal but I suppose someone has to. I'd recommend requesting a different table if booking for 2 people, kinda ruins the mood of date night!
K. H.
Good for a very quiet pint. No queues.
J. S.
Lovely atmosphere. A wide range of food
The burgers are a bit pricey but they are big and juicy I was full half way through. Great atmosphere. Couldn't fault the staff they were amazing.
G. G.
Very genuine friendly staff, there's a cool heated garden hidden behind the pubber just ask ;)
C. C.
I have been a couple of times now, it's a very nice pub with great staff, of whom show great attitude and professionalism. A mention has to go out for the food! The food is fantastic, Americanised portion, and beautifully layed out. Will definitely be going again, awesome food!
N. S.
Those burgers were fantastic!!!
A. D.
100% fabolous!!! Reason I haven't taken a photo of My Burger is becouse after one minute I had half of it in my mouth. Absolutely delicious. fresh beef. It was Huge!! I wish I could come back there someday. Lovely staff and Chef definately knows how to satisfy customer
E. P.
Amazing pub with incredible food that would fit in at a 5 star restaurant and the friendliest staff I have ever met.
P. D.
Always a good place to go, excellent food, a bit pricy, until you see the huge portion size!
A relaxed environment, at the top of Bevois valley, so very much part of Southampton's alternative scene. LGB&T friendly.
Definitely one of my favorite places to eat out in Southampton.
T. L.
Great variety of burgers, lots of awesome vegan options and very large portion sizes all for a great price! Love this place!
j. b.
I love the Rockstone. Great selection of booze, particularly rum and gins, and the food is great. The burgers are original and there is a good variety. If anything, the cost of a meal is quite expensive but it's great quality
S.
Was at the Rockstone on Saturday for a birthday event and the staff were warm and welcoming and truly went above and beyond for us. Highly highly recommend coming to the Rockstone!
C. R.
I like the Rockstone. Fantastic that they now offer chicken in their burgers, but it's not breaded! Made my day. Vegan and veggie options are wonderful too. Stay away from the mango cider - it's too delicious!
U. S.
We chose to go there based on other excellent reviews. All in all it was Ok. Tables sticky, environment loud ... Heavy Metal music, waiter passing by a little too often without asking us, if we could have been helped. The Steak was cooked en point, meat Ok, salad Ok.
Probably more suitable for people who looking for very big portions, not taking care so much of the environment. After all - it was worth to give it a try.
B. L.
Under new management and they are fabulous! We had a wonderful, relaxed and welcoming evening. Very safe given current circumstances, and excellent hospitality. Food excellent as always!
K. M.
If you like big burgers with hot sauces, then this is the place to go. Staff very friendly and you would need to book a table to guarantee a meal, as can get very busy. A bit pricey and very dog friendly.
M. L.
An unusual pub experience. Table service for drinks, pay at the end. It was good but it really threw me.
We went on a Monday. It was billed on their website as open mic night, this was half true. They were open, but there was no mic to be seen. This wasn't the reason for our visit so it made no difference to me but if you are going with your guitar in hand in the hope of being spotted by a talent scout then you could be disappointed.
They seem to specialise in burgers, and the stream of them which kept coming out looked good, as well as big. The Volcano is billed as being their ultimate hot offering, a claim most places can't back up when it comes down to it. Not here though.
I saw a guy obviously struggling with his burger and figured it must be a Volcano so I asked him if it was hot. He offered me a piece to try. This was a total stranger, and total strangers don't often share their food with you, this was an indication of what was to come.
Anyway, being a sucker for free food as well as hot food I snatched his hand off. All I can say is the Volcano is not for the faint of heart. The poor guy who shared his with me couldn't finish his, and when they offered to box it up for him to take home he came up with some half arsed excuse as to why he didn't want them to. If you like hot food then go for it, if you are a pretender to the throne then give it a miss.
Outside the pub is a small garden in the rear, it's semi covered and has a few cushioned benches to sit on. There is an outdoor pizza oven but it wasn't doing anything when we were there. Although the garden is small it was a nice space to be in, which you enter through the smallest door in the world.
It's a nice pub, little bit quirky but that's what I liked about it.
C. A.
Awesome food and great service!
S. P.
Probably the best burger place in Southampton, excellent food, service and atmosphere. It also caters well with vegetarian, vegan and gluten free diets including vegan alcoholic options. It is popular so booking is recommended
P. A.
Excellent staff/service. Good local brews available. Food good but a little expensive for what it is.
K. J.
Food and service was as great as ever, craft beer selection isn't a patch on what it was but hopefully once things reopen fully they will rectify
l. s.
Came here for my friends birthday, they were very friendly and helpful in helping me set up a whole unicorn decorated booth for her hehe. Food is amazing but standard prices are £10-14 a main meal, it's well worth it though and the vegan selection is great.
J. C.
Cosy and welcoming pub with an unashamedly meety menu. Staff friendly and service was good. Had the rump special - fresh great quality food. Volcano burger well worth a look too.
Food and drink for two came in at £35 and I could barely make it out of the door!
T. F.
Always a wide selection of cider and ale, relaxed atmosphere and great food. A place you really should check out if you're ever in. Southampton.
There's a great beer garden with patio heaters and a lot of seating.
K. T.
Quite expensive for pub food, but you wont leave hungry. The wine is extortionate if you buy by the bottle - it does taste great though. The only thing I didnt like was that the menus were scattered along the tops of the walls on blackboards... you had to walk around the order to choose a wine... strange.
C. K.
Always amazing food and great range of beers
S. R.
Couldn't finish my burger for all the right reasons... so much food. Best burger in Southampton! Be prepared to spend 20 minutes deciding which burger you want though. Tends to be full all the time, should reserve a table before showing up.
l. p. s.
The best food I have found in Southampton, hands down. Also has a very wide variety of spirits. Seating is very limited so best to book a table if you plan on eating here - it is very popular!
J. H.
Amazing menu, with all the usual suspects and a lot more niche ingredients too. Delicious, contemporary cooking at its best. Super friendly and efficient service. Can't recommend highly enough!
S. D.
Great pub, a firm favourite to bring visitors to as the food is always excellent - highly recommend the burgers, we've tried the beef, chicken and veggie variants and all have been delicious. Definitely worth booking a table in advance as this place is very popular.
A. A.
Good food with lots of gluten free options.
Service was quick and friendly.
R. M.
Great little place with friendly staff. The food is delicious, a little expensive but definitely worth it for a treat. Quirky menu and enormous portions. The alcohol choices available is something to behold. The place to go if you're looking for something a bit harder to find when it comes to drinks.
P. A.
Really unique take on Sunday roast. HUGE portions
H. B.
Enjoyed the food and staff. The place has a great range of drinks. I Felt a little more attention could have been applied to the burger buns and and fries. However I would go again.
G. H.
Great food great staff and great service. Highly recommended
M. R.
Cold beer, loved the bar snacks
J. C.
Upon entering the Rockstone we were greeted by songs from out childhood! The mighty mighty bosstones, rancid, the pixies and more. There was one guy behind the bar clad in black with a gray flat cap whom I asked about their famous burgers. He recommended the hellboy and my wife had a plain ish burger with bacon and sweet potato fries. When the food came out I was amazed at the size of the burger, seriously taken aback it was effing huge and had chilli's, cheese and thick cut chorizo spilling out of its sides. The fries were great, the table sauces were unlabeled and possibly home made, which was interesting and quite delicious! But the burger, oh my gods! It was the greatest burger I have ever eaten. If that thing had been my final meal I would have died a happy and somewhat bloated man. The burger itself was moist, charred and slight pink in the middle, the way a burger should be. The fresh chilli gave a nice sweetness and bite, the chorizo a smokiness followed by a rich cheese and tasty sauce. Seriously I'm getting hungry thinking about it. I will say its not the cheapest place on earth but frick, you get what you pay for without a doubt. Sadly we had to eat and leave quite quickly and it was a lunch time so I didn't get to sample the many ales and ciders they had to offer. But I will definitely be going back to do so. 10/10
C. S.
Amazing food, visited for the beer festival. Have a really great selection of craft ales. Don't eat for a week before you go though, the burgers are massive!
S. H.
Great burger, come hungry! Staff are friendly and although it was busy the wait was OK. Food brilliant, will be coming back!
M. N.
Great place for lunch or dinner. Extensive variety on local and international beers. Food... Wow. Very nice indeed. If that is not enough, promos all the week can be very generous.
H. J.
They were having a rare off day I think. No cranberry sauce despite it being on several menu items. Had to send one of the starters back under cooked. One of the mains over cooked and almost inedible. We don't recommend the seitan and beetroot thing. On the other hand two of the dishes were jaw droppingly good. 5 stars for turkey starter and the beef main on the Christmas menu. They did remedy the issues we had and compensated with wine ☺
R. G.
Sat outside. Good selection of beers. Just make sure they give you a full pint and not 50p's worth of head.
M. T.
The venue itself is very cramped, with it difficult to navigate round the bar area, to the bathrooms etc when full. Our groups opinion was split on the food - the wings I had were excellent but my burger was pretty bland. Service was pretty average but maybe that was because they were so busy.
J. H.
Nice pub, very busy, food looked good, didn't eat was was just having a drink. Nice little raised back courtyard area outside(allegedly heated but saw no evidence of heating) as well a paved garden in the front
J. E.
Massive portions always loads of real beers on. Good for vegi and vegan, always book if your going on a evening it's quite a small place and very popular
j. m.
Lovely staff, amazing little secret garden, only downside was the £5 a drink
J. W.
Lovely little pub in a location you wouldn't expect! Fantastic selection of beers and ales and just about to celebrate its first gin festival.
Great burgers too if a little pricey.
p. (.
Great food and drinks, very nice on a hot day is the Angry Orchard Cider.
Way overpriced even though the meals are huge. Charge less, make them small and then I could acctually finish a meal.
C.
The burgers in this place are really special, but the rest of the menue is unimaginative and inconsistent, service is ok and be prepared for loud rock music but to be fair it's a student pub.
N. P.
A local pub with friendly staff. Great choice of real ales and world beers. Helpful staff will advise you on the different beers on offer, giving you samples to try. Nice cosy beer garden with heaters
P. B.
Good food, huge burgers with large sides. Very busy on student Wednesday however wait for food wasn't too long. Large selection of ciders, beer and spirits also.
M. F.
I bloody love this pub! We come here after going to the climbing wall. The staff are lovely. Theres a great selection on the menu and everything that I've tried has been great. Thank you x
p. r.
Utterly magnificent burgers.
However, with a change of ownership, and change of menu, all bets are off. Time will tell....
S. H.
The Rockstone is one hell of feast, this place is incredable i can honestly say ive never had a burger like a Rockstones burger. From meat to veggie and vegan there burgers are the best in Southampton it is one of the best places to eat and top 5 in Southampton. If you have never been, then you are missing out. Highly reconmend The Rockstones, never fails to impress.
M. W.
Stunning pub, very dog friendly. They have a great range if vegan meals too. If you're not eating meat, or simply trying to eat less meat, check them out 🎉
G. P.
Just leaving this place where I had dinner. Tried the Sir Loincelot, a Mango cider and a beer, it was perfect!
The meat was a bit underweighted than usually, the owner refunded 5£ without asking anything ! Much appreciated.
C.
Great food, great staff, very nice mood to be around .
Pets friendly location.

Best burgers in town. Amazing, changing beer selection. Great staff. Outdoor seating is lovely in the summer. Cosy inside during winter.

Very refreshing to go somewhere that fully caters for vegetarians and vegans etc. A pub that understands there is more variety than just a spicy bean burger or pasta. Look forward to returning soon.

Overrated burgers that taste like they are made from cheap mince and have a huge load of black pepper added to cover up that fact. Due to that, it makes eating them a chore because they are huge and not very nice, and rather expensive. They …
