Good Great Awesome! Good Great
oddly enough, my munich gold and my friend's dark lager (i forget which one it was) were both flat. she said it was a problem they were having all week, which is fine, and i could tell the beer would have been even better had it been carbonated. the food was tremendous. if you are considering the titan toothpicks, make no mistake, they are titan. the fish and chips were delicious, no mistakes here either. overall i enjoyed my meal, would reccomend it to friends

Don't go on a Sunday after 8PM. They are in a mall and keep mall hours. Only bar menue avaiable. The order of wings had 6 of the tiniest wings I've seen. The Prussia's Pride was pretty good, though. The others were nondescript.

Since they replaced the old brewmaster, the new guy has made new recipes for all of the standard beers, and the difference is certainly clear to those who have been here and tasted the old beers. His specialty beers are also much better, definitely works very hard to make sure his beers don't taste like crap and won't put them out there if something is wrong with them. Food menu has also improved since new hires in the kitchen. Overall change in management and staff has made this a much better restaurant and brewery and those who haven't been here in a while should consider a return visit.

Been to this Rock Bottom many times (an oasis from the mall outside) and thought it was o.k. at best but stopped in during a business trip recently to have a few beers and watch the football game at the bar. Tried the Prussia Pride IPA which I have to say was very tasty (I am a major IPA fan and am very selective regarding what I consider good). The bartender was friendly, the food was good and best of all I could walk back to my hotel so I was able to thoroughly enjoy many IPA's!!

Good place to unwind after walking the entire mall. Which we did! Ironically, the Pale Ale was from my hometown of Pittsburgh, as they had a problem locally. Typical Pittsburgh Ale, not to exciting. Service was great.

This joint took a turn for the worse. Beers are watery and low quality. The flagship IPA was removed and a new one made in it's place. The Prussia Pride IPA was not so good. The Thursday beer night used to be a good idea until now. Now we have a $3 cover to get in to the bar. Why? No band, no DJ. $3 just to get a beer. But if you get a seat in the restaurant section there is no cover, but beers are not $1. And oh yeah, half the beers on the menu are not on special, but you wouldn't know that unless you found out by asking a server. Food went downhill, servers looked like they were contemplating suicide, nad the brews were rank. I suffered through 2 and had to leave and cut the night short. The RockBottom has truly hit RockBottom. Beware. Drive alittle further to Sly Fox and try some real beer where people are a little more upbeat.

Located in the lower level of King of Prussia Plaza near the Sears. Typical mall, chain restaurant vibe. Was told that while there usually is a dark beer on tap, that I just missed an Imperial Stout @10%ABV. What a shame, because even by Rock Bottom standards, these beers were pretty weak. Barely any nose to most, not much flavor to many. I'd say that of the 7 they offered, the Double Barrel IPA on hand pump was the best of a sorry lot. Well, I can say that I've been here, but not much else.

Beer, food and service solid in every way. Several beers outstanding; all above average. Their Mug Club is a great deal - be sure to ask about it.

For a Chain the quailty of the beers is very good and consistent through the different cities that I have been to. A larger variety would be nice. The servcice is fast and friendly. The food has been great each time I have eating here.

Typical Rock Bottom chain, nothing special in the lineup and no cask beer available during my visit. Munich Helles was fair, but for $1 pints on Thursdays it was a good bargain.

I'm usually good at giving places decent reviews if it warrants it. I went in for a second visit last night and got what I expected to get; slop beer. It's a shame because I know that many people who talk highly of them and ask me to check them out because I am a craft beer lover. The first time around, I had the IPA, Amber, and Pale. None of which were to my liking. I figured either this was just a junk batch, or it was supposed to taste like a chain brew garbage pint. Well, last night, I had a porter, which is one of my favorite styles. They described it as having chocolate notes with a sweet finish. There was basically zero nose to it. It tasted very watered down with an awful bitterness finish and it wasn't a balanced hop finish either. It was like they didn't clean the lines or something. The gross, unpalatable taste seemed to get slightly better as it warmed up. It seemed overall that people were having a good time at the bar with the free "mug club". I just don't get it. I actually liked Brew Moon when they were there, even though I thought the service sucked. Their brews started to grow on me. The funny part is that I see some of the horrible staff left over from Brew Moon in this joint. This stuff brewed now is just awful garbage which shouldn't be consumed by a half knowledgable beer drin
