Nice place to eat. Was stuck at the usps making a delivery, so I decided to get some breakfast. The owner was very friendly, and the food was really good. Would definitely recommend if your in the area.

Great atmosphere, it's like a greasy spoon diner from the 60s was teleported to us. They have choc-ola.

Small, cozy, great staff, good food, and Chocola!!! What more do you need? How about making a Lumber Jack Omelette into a Paul Bunyan by asking them to make it with all four meats: bacon, sausage, ham, and turkey. The description is a 4-egg omelette but it’s really closer to 6. I cut off about an inch and a half to show all the meat and cheese stuffed inside this thing. Add in a half order of biscuits and gravy and it’s a thing of perfection!!! Hate to tell everyone how great it is, I don’t want it to be too crowded when I want to eat there 🤣 Lots of memorabilia on the walls and ceilings. I love sitting in different spots for the change of scenery.

Worth a try for sure!! Highly recommend on every aspect of a great hidden gem to enjoy!!!

Will not be back. The waiter really ruins the whole experience. Yelling across tables and acting like EVERYTHING is a major problem.

This place is absolutely amazing. The people here are all so kind. We went once just to try something new and were pleasantly surprised with the food. It tasted delicious and came out quickly. The staff are so kind and it was amazing being in such an old place in such a good shape. An amazing place so good that we went back for a second time!

Stepping into Rock-Cola Café is like falling through a glittery chrome wormhole straight into the 1950s — but with better Wi-Fi and more ranch dressing options. The jukebox vibes hit before the food even does, and suddenly you’re rethinking every life choice that doesn’t involve owning a pink Cadillac.

Now, let’s talk food. The Philly Steak & Cheese was so cheesy it should’ve been paying rent. The grilled onions and peppers were doing a perfect little tango under that golden hoagie bun. And the Reuben? A work of edible art — crispy rye hugging tender corned beef like it was saying “don’t ever leave me.” Spoiler: I didn’t.

We also tackled a basket of fried glory — fries, jalapeño poppers, mushrooms, probably some hush puppies sent from heaven. Each bite whispered, “You’ll need a nap after this,” and I listened.

The sauces? Four tiny cups of personality. BBQ sauce with swagger, honey mustard with attitude, ranch that knew its worth, and ketchup just happy to be here.

By the end, I was full, nostalgic, and considering buying a leather jacket I don’t need. The staff was friendly, the décor was pure Americana joy, and the menu had enough puns to make even your dad proud.

If calories didn’t count at diners with checkerboard plates, I’d move in permanently. 🏁🍔🥤

Paid over 40 for a chicken sandwich and fries and a mile high sandwich with onion rings and 2 sodas
was over $40 that's like $20 a plate.... there's no prices on menu, so it's whatever they want and everything is charged separately...kinda sad I feel I got bamboozled....
