Past this place a couple of times visiting my sister and knew I had to visit before I headed back to the mainland. Customer service is excellent! Clean and fun atmosphere…throw back to the 50’s that definitely keep your eyes busy. Food was really good and the root beer float I recommend!

Lovely waitress. We sat outside and even danced to the slow songs. French fries were amazing. Just a really fun and different kind of experience.

Excellent experience. Food is great for the money and plenty of it. The milkshakes are amazing and our kids loved having the “extra” milkshake on the sides which made for easy sharing. The atmosphere is really cool with all the memorabilia and such. It is a smaller restaurant with limited tables and you order at the counter, not by any means a problem just good to know coming into it. We will visit again.

Good food from a time when food was good!!+1 ⭐ for the food, service, & atmosphere!!
Literally love this place. My family and I went here to end our “family date day” and we al loved it. The atmosphere is AMAZING! The woman who helped us (I’m assuming the owner) was the sweetest person ever! A lot of reviews talk about them only being a “2 man show” but I think that adds to the charm and makes the place that much better. I’ll definitely be back to Rock Island Café

It was ... not quite what I expected, which was a 50s style Diner. Order at the counter, very few tables. Only saw 2 staff members. The restaurant is decorated in all sorts of movie and music memorabilia, which is also available for sale. It was fun. Food was delicious. I would eat here again. Lol.
Good food and fun atmosphere. One of the wait staff gave us some attitude.

Very friendly staff and good food. Onion rings were perfect and the burger was great. Old shows and movies playing in the background so my parents really had a good time. Nice souvenir selection for all people. The only downside is parking. The public parking is difficult to find if you are not familiar with this town. Overall a great experience

Truly a gem of a find! The atmosphere was really fun ☺️ with trivia card game sets on each table. The staff were friendly and food was delicious. Felt right at home here, will be bringing back the whole family in the near future. We love finding wonderful diners like this one!
