Kid Rock's New Restaurant Flooded With Negative Reviews: ‘Trash Food'
Kid Rock's new Nashville restaurant has been flooded with negative reviews following its opening. The musician, whose real name is Bob Ritchie, launched The Detroit Cowboy with restaurateur Joe Vicari on Tuesday after it was soft-launched last month. But the 12000-square-foot steak, seafood and fine dining restaurant has already been swamped by negative reviews online. "The tacos were terrible and smelled weird," one reviewer wrote online. Another said: "Trash food with trash ownership." The restaurant has also received a number of positive five-star reviews. It is possible that the negative comments are coming from critics of President Donald Trump due to Rock's support for him. This is a developing story. More to follow.

President Trump celebrated the opening of Kid Rock's MAGA-friendly restaurant in Nashville — and revealed his nickname for the singer. The Michigan-born rapper/rocker, whose name is Robert James Ritchie, launched his all-American-themed seafood joint on Tuesday. 'Congratulations to my friend, Kid Rock (I call him Bob!), on the Grand Opening of his new Nashville restaurant, 'The Detroit Cowboy,'' Trump wrote in a Truth Social post late on Monday. 4 Kid Rock stands near President Trump in the Oval Office in March as he signs an executive order banning ticket scalping.

Keep kickin' ass for America, sir!' A huge bald eagle mural with red, white and blue wings can be seen in photos covering a wall in the restaurant, which drew 'Fox & Friends' to its grand opening to interview Kid Rock. 4 Kid Rock posing in his latest Nashville restaurant The Detroit Cowboy near a bald eagle mural. The Detroit Cowboy The musician, known for blending rap and country-style rock music, has been a Trump supporter since his first term, though Kid Rock has grown into a particularly close ally over the past year. He performed at the 2024 Republican National Convention, and has sided with the MAGA movement on several occasions. Last May, Rolling Stone published a piece titled 'How Kid Rock Went From America's Favorite Hard-Partying Rock Star to a MAGA Mouthpiece.' 4 Kid Rock and President Trump on a golf course.

He posted a video showing him shooting cans of Bud Light with an MP5 submachine gun and declaring 'F— Anheuser-Busch.' He said last year that he has moved on from the boycott movement.

'That being said I 100% support getting illegal criminals out of our country no matter where they are. I also like President Trump want to speed up the process of getting GREAT immigrants into our country – LEGALLY!'
