Awesome sports/dive-bar vibe with not just your typical "bar food" options. Huge portions of delicious food & our server Wally was awesome.

New to the Keyport area, my girlfriend and I stopped by this place one day after work. We were recommended by friends to give this place a shot. Right off the bat, I felt good vibes here. They have a large bar area and 2 pool tables. Plus the staff were super friendly. They have awesome beer specials that are very affordable. After having a few drinks, we ordered some food. We went with the cheese bar pie to start. The pizza here was very good. Nice and thin, as well as crispy. Just the way a bar pie should be. I really enjoyed their pizza. Then, we had a cheeseburger and chicken fingers. The burger was great, and chicken fingers were just as good. I liked their bbq sauce they used. Overall, this was a fun spot to hangout, have some drinks, and eat some food.

We love visiting here in the summer. They have a great little tiki bar on the outside and it has lots of atmosphere. This source is amazing . We've had many different dishes here and love everything they serve. One of my favorites is their clam chowder and the other is there sauce with clams you are actually want to drink it. They have a pool table there and people are casual and friendly.

Surprisingly good food, and I don't mean just the appetizers. Doesn't look like it would have that good of food, but never judge a book by its cover it's very good.

Blue rock fails to disappoint, Service was on par, Shrimp appetizer (Shrimp Cocktail) had the largest Shrimp I've seen (like Lobster tail size) Crab cakes with Cajun Mayo were the bomb! View of bay excellent...

As a creature of habit who looks for comfort in places I have certainly made that at the Blue Rock. Not only have I had hundreds of delicious and fresh meals there, I've laughed, I've cried, I've learned life lessons, and I've taught some. In the last 6 years I have made friends who quickly became family, with some Blue Moon's and lifelong memories to go with my meal. While the Rock may not appeal to everyone, there is a guarantee you'll leave full, a little drunk, hopefully in love, and appreciating those around you more than you did yesterday. If you feel different I invite you to join me on any Taco Tuesday and I'll show you what an actual meal experience at our local waterfront bar is really like! Cheers to kind words, they are free!
