So, joined the Mug Club after sampling every beer. Some of the best in Madison. Great value, even if your visits are infrequent.
Food is delicious. Not a diverse menu, but it's a brew pub. Poutine is amazing (hell yeah to the duck gravy!) But get the cheese curds too and just dump em on top. Beef pot pie is loaded with meat. Last special was a rib eye. Awesome. One of the best mushroom Swiss burgers around (most places mess up the mushrooms, IMHO - they didn't).
I'm a hop head, their IPA (Mosquito Bite) is on par with some of my favorites. Oh, and if it's on tap, you gotta try the Thunder Lizard! An oak-aged Belgian Quadruple. Wow!
Way to go Nate!
Finally made it out to Rockhound and will kick myself for waiting so long to get there. Good food and great beer with the right vibe and courteous staff. If I still lived in Madison, I'd be here all the time.
The scotch ale was top notch--Nate's perfectionism in action. Burgers hit the spot, and the Guinness Cake was out of control. Really easy on the wallet too, for Madison. This place is a gem.

Rockhound Is a welcome addition to the Park Street neighborhood. The beer and food are fantastic and the atmosphere is great! Everyone is friendly and welcoming. Whether you're looking for a tasty dinner or a comfortable place to enjoy a local beer, I highly recommend Rockhound Brewing Company!
The service was quick, loved the menu and was most excited that I found a place that actually cooks a burger medium rare! I had the Bluestone burger which had so many great flavors, the seasoning on the fries was great also.
GO TO HERE! They are brewing up some world class beer at Rockhound. I had one of the most balance smoked porters I've ever tasted. The hoppy selections run the gamut of varying hop profiles, from piney and resinous, to citrusy and well-balanced, to floral, dry and bitter. Nate also takes care to make sure the beers are properly conditioned so you aren't drinking keg sludge or a yeast sample. There is something on the menu you will like. High quality all around, top to bottom, including solid food and a friendly and attentive staff.
Great first experience. From the atmosphere, art, music, drink selection, food and staff it was an enjoyable time. Will be back again! Compliments to the chef!�
Stopped in for lunch today to take advantage of restaurant week menu. The kitchen did not disappoint, my selections were done perfectly. I was also impressed with Ken's service, he was very attentive. I will be back for beer!
Rockhound has seriously upped its game! My boyfriend and I visited when they first opened and again just recently... the improvement since then has been so impressive! The beer is on a whole new level - a solid contender in this town, and that says something. Their food has also improved a lot since they first opened... personally, I think they serve some of the best cheese curd sauce in town! We will definitely be regular customers from now on. Keep it up Rockhound !!!
Within a month of opening I joined the Mug Club. The owner cares deeply about customer care as well as the quality of beer they produce. Their beer and food is fantastic, and it's a great addition to the neighborhood.
I am seriously in love with this place! The beers are stellar, food is out of this world, and service is like no other. Thanks, Rockhound. We will be back! (Hoping brunch is as good!)
Great beer and food! Came here to watch the packer game and had a great time.
I want two tickets to the isthmus beer and cheese fest!
