They have been a local staple for a long time according to one of the locals. The milkshake was delicious and kind of thick. I started slurping on it right away to cool down! This is a place that you go up to the window and order. They have some outside seating in the front ( uncovered) and in the back they have some old picnic tables that are covered. I would suggest they upgrade their picnic benches and refresh their old sign on the road. Other than that We left satisfied! This place is suppose to be very busy during the hot months! Btw..they are currently paving that stretch of road so drive carefully!

I will say to the owners, for a business next to the HWY the place looks drab. My suggestion would to pressure wash the outside and maybe pull the dead flowers out. Thanks for all the good food and memories.

We are heading out to the Dam to check it out! Cute inside with a farmhouse vibe. Doggies allow outside on their patio dining. Ps. No receipt because I didn't pay for a meal.

What a great find, this little Cafe! We were looking for…read moresomewhere to have breakfast on a Sunday morning. Our search turned up 3 or 4 cafes. We opted for 1 of these, and on our way to "the other" café, we spotted Jenn's which was on the list. After we arrived at the first place, it was new and in a little strip mall. It lookrd full of people. We doubted that we would get a Cafe breakfast. Off to Jenn's we go. It's a very tiny hole in the wall. We walked in and saw about 5 tables downstairs and 2 upstairs, and 3 or 4 counter seats. It is tiny! Luckily there were two open tables downstairs. A minute later the place filled up. We had a great waitress! She was quick to get our drinks and then took our order. The food arrived in a good time, not too long of a wait, maybe 15-20 minutes. The breakfast of choice was a 2-egg omelet with avocado and cheese, and 1 slice of French toast served with butter and cinnamon, and a cup of warm syrup. Yum, yum, yum The breakfast was very good! They included our coffee and iced tea in the breakfast . We will definitely go back!

Its a casual yet classy place for lunch and dinner. They have a shaded patio in front as well ( dog friendly). I love smaller towns! Relatively no traffic or crime! My boyfriend and I ordered off the lunch specials menu. He ordered the smash burger and chose macaroni salad. I ordered the grilled shrimp on a skewer with brown rice and spicy coleslaw. We always try each other's food! The smash burger was juicy and the macaroni salad was good! My shrimp had a nice grill on it and the coleslaw was delicious. The brown rice was alittle dry for my taste buds. It has a full bar with tvs to watch sports. There is quieter seating on the other side of the bar area. Overall it was a good experience! Great menu with plenty of speciality cocktails along with some craft beers! Staff is professional!

We sat outside on the patio, which was lovely, and the staff were friendly and attentive without hovering. I ordered the Jam Session sandwich and I'm still thinking about it. It had roasted turkey with cream cheese and this incredible cranberry bacon jam that completely made the sandwich. The flavors worked so well together and everything tasted fresh and made to order. The fries on the side were hot, crispy, and really good too. Honestly, this place felt like something that could have been dropped right into Palo Alto or Santa Clara, CA. The look and overall vibe reminded me of a Silicon Valley café, but the prices were much more reasonable than what you'd expect for that kind of setting. Definitely a great spot in Oroville and I would absolutely go back (especially for that sandwich).

Visited November 30th..see my receipt as always…read more This place is located in Oroville. It is next to Bigfoot Eats in a very small shopping center. They open at 8am and I was the first one to order. I ordered the Country skillet breakfast ( 2 scrambled eggs with hash browns and bacon over biscuits and gravy). I had the gravy on the side. I was surprised that the bacon were just small little pieces with what looked like tater tots. You pick up the food at the counter and seat yourself. The eggs were cool to the touch. Biscuits were pretty good. The gravy made it better! Not what I was expecting but still ok. I only had a few bites and brought it back to my friends place. He enjoyed it ALOT more than I did! Manuel was friendly and helpful but the lady was was not very welcoming (Putting that nicely! ) It's retro inside and also serves beer and sodas along with coffee and other items. I think they are known for their burgers more so then their breakfast menu. I don't live in this area so this is not a place I will revisit.

I'm beginning to notice a pattern: these aren't cookie-cutter restaurants. They have personality, a playful spirit, and the feeling that some people actually enjoy creating places where people want to gather and belong. Imagine a classic neighborhood diner that wandered into an arcade, picked up some incredible art, and decided everyone should just be happy. The staff are genuinely welcoming, the portions are generous, the comfort food gives solace, and breakfast lovers can rejoice because it's served all day. Whether you're there for a hearty meal or simply soaking up the atmosphere, Roc & Sol has earned its loyal following for good reason. A special note on Janah and Alicia (pictured), who made our family breakfast feel like more than just a meal. With effortless expertise, warm conversation, and infectious energy, these adrenaline junkies created the kind of experience that keeps people wanting more. They seemed to feed off the positive energy they shared with their guests--and gave even more in return. If Twisted Track Station surprised me by the genius of Crazy Matt, his family, and his people, Roc & Sol convinced me it wasn't a fluke. Sacramento needs more restaurants with this much heart.

Put your dollar bills on the wall and enjoy the wildlife. It has two pool tables. I do enjoy the food too. The new cook is great.

I gave them 5 stars because it is what is, which is a step in time, solid food and friendly staff and guests. Looking forward to returning! Cheers!
