Rockaways Athletic Club

Just a short thought if you are in the Columbia area:  you should try Rockaway's Athletic Club.  It's mostly a burger and fries restaurant, but it also has hot dogs.

Many say it has the best pimento cheese burgers they've every had.  There's one trick though: they don't have a sign so you have to know where it is to find it.

It's just a plain brick building with no sign from
the front, but it has an outdoor seating
area in the back.  
If you're wondering where you enter, look
 for this door.  Seriously, it's not that
clear, so look for this door.  
The no-sign thing makes you think it's kind of a
hole-in-the wall, but it's actually pretty nice inside.  

If you like pimento cheese (and don't get enough with the Pimento Cheese Burger), then get the Pimento Cheese Fries.  Yum.

  1. I feel like you need to expound on those Pimento Cheese fries. How does that work?

  2. I don't normally eat Pimento, so I'm not sure the difference, but they just brought a huge basket of fries and a big bowl of melted pimento cheese, and we dipped it. It made me a fan of Pimento Cheese, at least in that context. :o)

  3. I don't understand why there are no signs? Do they not want much business?

  4. No sign = secret mafia place. You gotta know or be somebody! Yes, best pimento cheeseburger I've ever had; however, the only pimento cheeseburger I ever had, but serious, very good food and a fun place!

  5. John's office did this restaurant. He says that the old Rockaway's burned down and they wanted the new one to have the same feel -- non-descript brick building with no sign, shutters over the front windows, and an entrance that's tucked away!
    You are making want a burger now, Christi! :)
