"A 5 fork! Peta-excellent! International&Spanish food (meat, burgers, morcillas, salchichas), well presented and excellent quality (not fish here, is not for 'pescaito frito' here). A mix of an English-German pub but modern decoration. Great beer spectrum. Bar, inside or terrace. Music from the 60' until 90' goes with yor meal. Myself, I found this place by chance, luckyly, in Puerto de Santamaria. It is next to the Castillo de San Marcos, built by Alfonso X, the Clever (he probably would have come to eat here). Of course, when its busy, you need to wait! (No robot-waiters)."

"Service was very friendly, but slow. The Hamburger and hot dog buns were very fresh and tasty. The meats were flavorful and cooked to perfection. They played an excellent selection of 70s rock music at a volume that allowed for conversation. An enjoyable lunch."

"Walked a long way in the rain to get here and wasn’t disappointed.good burger and beer.great service even though my Spanish is poor.the only reason the 4 stars for atmosphere was middle of the day but still a nice place. will definitely return"

"Finally a burger with real flavor! I enjoy a good burger, but it's unfortunately hard to find one in Spain. But I did here! At Gastrobar Rock Café, they season the burger while cooking – they don’t just rely on loads of sauces to add flavor. And you can really taste the difference! Unlike many other places where the burger tastes bland, this one had proper flavor. I went for the spicy option and was super happy with it. Honestly, I’m glad I don’t live in this town… I’d probably gain even more weight because I wouldn’t be able to stay away! Thanks for the delicious food!"
