Rock & Hawk Sports Bar and Grill offers a lively atmosphere with standout "smoked in house" pork and a "great menu selection" for brunch. Despite occasional service delays, the attentive staff makes efforts to accommodate guests. It's a good spot for pre-game gatherings, though some diners noted room for improvement in food consistency and communication.

It was loud crowded and slow. No kids menu was a shock as well. $15 chicken fingers for the kids. Waited 30 minutes before our drinks arrived and our food order taken. Much preferred the menu when it was Bird Dog.

Walking into the Oread hotel there was construction - they lady at the front desk was rude to us and acted like we were idiots b/c we didn't realize they moved the entire restaurant into a banquet room at the end of the hall marked "in use". Not to mention Open Table mentioned nothing about construction and nothing about how we'd be sat in a banquet room.

Booked the reservation (8) on January 12th for February 23rd; however, upon arrival we discovered the main dining room was closed for maintenance/renovations. We were able to pivot to Encore, where we had a great dinner. But, the purpose of dining at Bird Dog was to experience a spot unique to the University of Kansas. I realize things happen, just a heads up would've been nice.

Basically they were understaffed. One bartender in a college town after a game. Brought wrong drinks and after 40 minutes we left without eating

Whatever you do, don’t order the skillet nachos. The menu says it comes with sour cream and pick - it doesn’t. We returned our first order because they were burnt and only had cheese and some meat. Our waitress was kind enough to bring us two new orders - not burnt but still just meat and cheese. I’m not paying $20 for that.

I had the fish and chips and they were soggy and not at all crisp. My son had the tiniest salmon filet, tablespoon of rice and mushy Brussels sprouts for $25. The BYO burger and Cobb salad were fine but it was pretty MEH! We decided to go on a Friday to celebrate and we’re just underwhelmed. Wasn’t horrible. But definitely wasn’t great or even good.

The seating was good…the service was limited. They only had one waitress to handle the entire dining area. She was very kind and attentive, but was extremely limited as to having the time to meet our needs.
