Rock City Diner, Downpatrick
posted in Down, Indoors |Lunch that Rocks!
We arrived just after 11.30 and were impressed with the selection on the menu. It was not that busy when we arrived but it did fill up as the lunchtime rush hotted up.
This is another American Style Café which the kids chose. We drove past a big fat hot dog squirting tomato sauce on his head on the way to the Tourist Information and it was decided, there and then, that is where we would be having lunch. The Blues Brothers were there to greet us and the place was decked out with memorabilia in keeping with the style. A cool jukebox and low colourful Tiffany-style light all added to the feel of the place.
Colouring sheets and crayons were on the table by the time we had arrived back having had a nosey around. Our drinks order was taken and the waitress came back with drinks to take our food order. We opted for a Kids Menu Spaghetti Bolognese, a garlic bread starter and jalapeno poppers for me ! (Great for the palate, not so good for the diet!). The kids spaghetti was huge and I was glad we opted for only one to split. The kids split both the main and the starter and they only just managed to eat that as it was. I managed all my poppers without any help 
Service was good, prompt and the place was clean. Toilets are upstairs, again clean (ladies only seen).
Kids Say
6 year old: Big portions. Loved the lamp shades.
5 year old: Food was good. Garlic bread was really nice. The best bit of stuff was the sausage outside. He was putting tomato sauce on his head!!
Stress Level: 0 (Relaxed and kid friendly)
Fun Level: 3 (It was good to talk about all the bits and bobs around)
Cost Level: 2 (2 starters, 1 Kids meal, 3 drinks = £13.00 and to top it off I received 2 Kids Eat Free Vouchers!! (These have conditions but Jan, Feb, Mar 2007 4pm - 9pm) Not bad)
