Rocky Hill Inn on Washington Street in Rocky Hill has been a Central New Jersey gastropub and American restaurant destination since it opened, combining a carefully curated craft beer program with scratch-made American gastropub food in a historic Millstone River village setting that makes it one of the most atmospheric dining experiences in Somerset County. It appeared in Season 25, Episode 9 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Big Food, Small Towns,” which aired October 14, 2016. Guy Fieri found a Rocky Hill kitchen doing American gastropub food from scratch with the quality and historic small-town warmth that earns a New Jersey inn its destination reputation well beyond the community surrounding it.

The Pub Burger on fresh-ground beef with house-made toppings is the gastropub centerpiece that earns Rocky Hill Inn its Somerset County reputation.
