To be honest, I'm a little surprised by all the 4 and 5-star reviews. The food is average at best, even for a dive bar. I have given the Rowley Inn 3 tries now, and the food has gradually gotten worse: inedibly under-fried wings and fries, over-cooked, rubbery chicken sandwich, gluey mashed potatoes, etc. Essentially, the Rowley is a lovely dive bar in a cool location, but they need to improve the food to please hungry Christmas Story House visitors looking for a decent lunch.
