| - Prior to this experience, I had two experiences at the Rock Store.
One was at the actual rock store, out on Old Monroe Road. When we showed up, they were closing the doors. Not for good, just because they decided to do so. They did not seem to be out of food, they just decided to close.
The other was at a food stand/truck. There, the food was generally good, but it can be difficult to get a good idea of what things are like in that environment. So we decided to try out their new(ish) location and see if we could actually get some food in the restaurant-like setting.
For starters, it just does not have the atmosphere of the rock store. The strip mall does not carry quite the same level of interest. That is to be expected. Luckily, it is carried off by the fact that the staff goes above and beyond to help you decide on your dishes. Huge props to them for their friendliness.
When it comes to the food, I still find that they fall a little bit short. While the meat is good, and generally tender, it is just lacking in flavor, and comes out a little dry. The Rock Store does offer several varieties of sauce, and all are decent. But without any sauce, the meat itself is just lacking, and there are better options in town. Definitely check them out if you just want some company, though. In that regard, they are tough to beat.
