Best chicken wings and corn dawgs of life.
I would eat them 24/7 if I could! -

mmm mmm mmm BBQ get in my belly!
I love the good ol' southern feel to this place. From the road it looks tiny but passing through the doors it's like you've entered a big BBQ joint down south. Picnic tables protected by plastic red and white checkered tablecloths with rolls of paper towel on each to wipe up after yourself.
No table service here, you go straight up to the counter and read your order off the chalkboard menu. Just like you're at a ribfest. Step up the stair and around the corner to the saloon (bar) to order a cold pint from the barmaid. They have a great selection of micro, local, and the big breweries too. Thankfully we went on a hot summer evening so the misses (girlfriend) and I grabbed a table outside, looking over our pasture (a park). My brain just switched to a southern drawl accent while typing this, it must be the BBQ scented breeze getting to me.
The food is brought out to your table once it's ready, and boy did it ever look and smell spectacular! We went with what the lady at the counter recommended - a half-rack of baby back ribs and the slider sampler. The sliders consisted of 1 pulled chicken, 1 pulled pork, and 1 brisket. It's a great way for first timers to taste a bit of everything. The ribs were fall off the bone delicious.
Rolly Rocket's left me stuffed to the max but begging to go back again. -

We ate here on a Saturday night and the food was as authentic as real Southern food. We tried the Pulled Pork, Pulled Chicken, & Brisket Rockets (sliders) and St. Louis Ribs. Both dishes come with sides of corn bread, beans, coleslaw, and fries. It's great food with great prices! It has a very casual environment with a pool table at the back, and quite a few flat screen TVs lined alongside tables at the back. There was also a band setting up around 9 pm. I will definitely go back the next time I'm in Hamilton.

Passing by this place on the way to work every day, and I still would never have ventured inside on my own. It took a friend's suggestion that we head over to spark my interest. I was pleasantly surprised!
The unassuming outdoor decor is rivaled by a unique setup inside. Picnic tables, with full red/white checkered table cloths lined up, giving the feeling of sitting in a very open area. This was further reinforced when a large garage door was opened to the outside. To the back half was an area for bands to play, which looked to support an acoustic act or small band. Move a few tables, and DANCE-FLOOR! (Bring your own Disco Ball).
The food was of the southern comfort variety, with pulled and smoked meats, corn bread and thick smoky sauces. I started with the hushpuppies, or deep fried corn bread. The batter was nice and tasty, and the insides were quite moist. I couldn't figure out what the side sauce was; it looked like tartar, smelled like tartar, everyone else at the table said it tasted like tartar, but I thought it was lime and chipotle [edit: confirmed! Lime and chipotle). For my lunch, I ordered the pulled pork "rockets", and was certainly not let down. A very healthy (or unhealthy, depending on how you look at it) helping of pulled pork was placed into 3 buns. While no sauce came on the sandwiches, the pork was moist and tasty enough on its own. Various sauces were available, with the tequila lime being my favourite.
They are licensed, and I was pleasantly surprised to see Hop City's Barking Squirrel on tap. Someone here really knows what they're doing.
I can't wait to come back on a nice summer day. -

We ate at Rolly Rocket's after reading a review for it on Yelp. GREAT value for the price- we had an order of wings, an order of ribs,the Rocket Sampler, a pop and a beer for $40. Food was good, lots to eat and served piping hot. Staff friendly and fast service. We did have to wait about 30 minutes for the food to be served, but it was a Saturday night and the restaurant was getting several phone in pick up orders. There are big screen tvs to pass the time, and a customer was kind enough to play some tunes on the piano while we waited. We would go back to Rolly Rocket's for sure !
