    Great atmosphere, food and service. A little pricey but we will be going back. I had a delicious 10 oz juicy cheeseburger, my wife had a tuna club, which was also very good and a third person enjoyed a tuna salad that even had a little caviar tossed in.

    Beautiful location overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The manager came to our table to check on everything and quickly fixed a delayed drink order and offered to pay for the drinks. Excellent display of outstanding service on a busy Saturday night. Our dinners were all excellent. Parking lot makes it easy to go there. I have eaten at Rooney's multiple times and will definitely go back.

    This place is excellent. The o my reason we gave food a 4 star is because the Angry lobster is the best and what we get all the time!! However, the last couple of times the taste is different . For example not enough garlic and flavoring like the crushed red pepper flakes. The garlic not cooked enough . This changes the flavor a lot. I never complain to them and understand maybe the person cooking might be new but it’s only fair to let them know. :) would change a thing about continuing going. Sometimes we go every week! Great place and the staff and management is so kind!!!
