Some patrons mention the occasional wait during peak hours, as The Rolling Spud can get busy, especially on weekends. The enormous portion sizes can be overwhelming for some, leading to leftovers that not everyone is prepared to handle.
A few visitors have noted that the ambiance can be loud at times, particularly when the live music is in full swing.

I was really excited when I found The Rolling Spud. I would watch the Spudbros… And always wish we had one in town. Imagine my surprise that one really did. My favorite one is the Mac attack. I can never finish the whole potato because they are so huge! It literally takes me three times to finish it. It’s always consistent. And the potato is hot and fresh. I always get my barbecue and green onions on the side… And not once have they messed up my order. The pull pork in the Mac attack is incredibly tender. The price is on point. Did I mention the potatoes is HUGE?!?! I am always raving about the potatoes to my customer who are foodies like me. I don’t get to get over to that side of town often. So when I do it’s a treat. They also offer family size pasta recently. I order their chicken Alfredo which feed 4 to 6. But honestly, it’s so much pasta that it can be more than 4 to 6. Overall, I’m pretty please with The Rolling Spud!

This was one of the best Baked potatoes I’ve ever had, loaded wit shredded chicken & cheese, the meat is so delicious it didn’t need any sauce, that is rare! The ladies working weee fabulous & made me a wonderful lunch. I can’t chew a lot currently, waiting on some surgery, I told them & my foid was so soft, it was the first meal I’ve enjoyed in weeks. I definitely will be going back to try the Chicken sliders & of course another delicious potato. Absolutely love finding small businesses to support, love this whole idea of community support & the food is the big bonus. Can’t wait to try everything ♥️♥️♥️
