We absolutely love this place and come here every single week! The staff is always so friendly and welcoming, and the food is consistently fresh and delicious. One of my favorite things is their weekly specials there's always something amazing to try! Some of our family favorites are the potato cakes, BLTs (my kids love to get it for breakfast), biscuits and gravy, and chorizo. You can really taste the quality and care they put into everything they make. It's become our go-to local restaurant, and we always leave happy. Highly recommend! read more

Really good breakfast stop with a huge menu. Arrived about 10 on a Sunday morning and it was busy, but we were seated right away. We had the Roberts Sausalito Scramble: spinach, bacon, scrambled eggs, shrooms & Croutons?, topped with blue cheese crumbles. Odd combo, but it all worked together, probably could have skipped the croutons. Mrs had the Joe's veggie 1/2 Benedict with excellent house grated hash browns well done. I opted for the Home Fried Potatoes,w/bell pepper & onions. The hash browns were the winner of those two. Benedict was pretty standard with a generous amount of avocado & a slice of grilled red onion under the egg. We slipt one of the massive Grandma's Biscuits with whipped butter, amazing, could be a full meal by itself. Friendly server's and bussers, which we noticed made the service seemless as they worked in tandem to assure everyone was taken care of, coffee refills, extra napkins, food brought out quick,water & creamer reload,etc. Open 6:30 to 2pm and some excellent looking sandwich, burger, salad,keto, vegetarian options for lunch. Tiny parking lot adjacent was jam packed, but there is street parking & some spots around back. Worth a stop. read more

Such a huge bummer! Is this place under different ownership or have they changed their menu/standards? We tried this spot out for the first time this morning after driving by it for years. The Owner's Yelp business description states they "specialize in breakfast", which sounded awesome. Reviews and photos looked so promising. Our experience was nothing like what others have shared though :( The space is nice and spacious, with an old school vibe which we liked, and we were so hopeful upon entering for the first time. Service was polite enough...but felt insincere and disinterested in taking good care of the customer. The one employee who I felt actually cared was the hostess, but the waitstaff seem to just be going through the motions. We shared it was our first time coming and we were excited to treat ourselves to a rare breakfast out. We needed a few extra minutes to study the menu since it was our first visit, but then we got forgotten about. I attempted to catch the waitresses attention numerous times with no success. After waiting about ten minutes longer than was reasonable, I did seek out the hostess's help in tracking down someone who could take our order. She was super apologetic, but of course it wasn't her job as she was busy seating people and handling her own tasks. The biggest disappointment was the food - in looking back at the photos the French toast we ordered looked nothing like the photos - first, when I asked what the difference between the 1/2 and full order was we were told it was 4 slices vs. 6 slices. That definitely seemed to justify the price so we ordered a half order for my young boy and I to share. What came out was shockingly different - it was two tiny slices of bread that looked like the inexpensive sliced grocery store bread. Because it was already small thinly sliced bread before being cooked, it was truly tiny once plated. We were honestly surprised they felt comfortable serving it. Maybe they ran out of their thick large French toast bread? No matter, they certainly shouldn't have served what we received though. It was confusing and embarrassing, IMO. So, we were misinformed that it was a 4 slice portion when it was 2 small thin slices of bread cut in half...that is not 4 slices of French toast. And then the waitress didn't come around our entire meal so I couldn't inquire about it until we were done. I ended up giving the French toast to my boy who ate it all in under 120 seconds, no joke (because there wasn't much to eat) and then he said he was still hungry. I, too, was quite hungry. Other family members agreed that the taste was good, but nothing special, and the servings did not match the high prices. So, the food was tasty enough but the portions were unreasonably small and do not justify the price, the service lacks greatly, and the misinformation was truly disappointing and misleading. When I did politely ask at the end about why she said it was 4 slices vs. 6 slices the waitress backpedaled stating she meant it was 4 halves vs. 6 halves...and then she apologized that we were leaving hungry and offered me a biscuit. ??? Why would I want a biscuit? I just wanted the meal the waitress told me I was ordering. I wanted what some previous customers have shared in their photos here. The French toast in the photos here on Yelp looks legit and exactly what we wanted and expected...again, so odd the kitchen staff felt comfortable plating up the order we received. Zero quality control there. Honestly, it was just a weird and disappointing experience that had us leaving hungry and unsatisfied, so we went home and prepared a meal there. We are super chill people with realistic expectations, so for us to struggle with this first experience says a lot about how subpar it was. The price of a soft drink is unreasonable as well ($5) - which isn't a huge deal, but with the disappointing food it was just the icing on the cake. A large cup is served but it's completely filled with ice. When asked if we wanted a refill she brought a small cup over with 85% ice and some soda, using that small cup to refill the large cup...splashing soda all over the table and then having to use her dirty damp rag shoved in her apron pocket to clean it up around our food plates, which was definitely unsanitary and made us cringe. There were customers there though - not sure if they were first-timers like us due to the new Farmers Market, but maybe they do have a repeat clientele so none of this matters to them because they can keep their doors open without new customers like us. Sad to try a local business we were excited about and then have this disappointing experience. We envisioned making trips to the new Farmers Market across the street often and then enjoying a wonderful breakfast afterwards, as a nice new Saturday morning tradition. Sadly we will not be returning to this restaurant. read more

Came here for breakfast on a Sunday morning and we were warmly greeted by the owner at the front desk. Although they were busy, we were seated quickly. Our waitress was in a bit of a rush, but still very polite. The drink cups are HUGE! My daughter ordered the strawberry lemonade, which was good and chock full of strawberries. I enjoyed the lumberjack breakfast, it was very tasty and filling. My nephew said his steak and eggs were amazing, I'll definitely have to try that next time! The only gripe I would have are the pancakes, they were a little dry and a bit chewy. The decoration was very cool, old school Americana, very patriotic! read more

I have been meaning to try this place out but being on a constant diet bc youre a fat bastard makes it difficult. Seeing as how its bulking season, I finally had a chance to give it a shot and boy am I glad I did. This is probably my new favorite breakfast spot. Its not perfect, but its still great. We got the Cooter's benedict...which isnt really a Benedict but more just biscuits and gravy. The sausage was surprisingly hand made! I couldn't believe it. Usually most places just give you pre-made Jimmy Dean's type of sausages. My wife doesnt like sausage in general and she actually loves the sausage here. The country potatoes are something that I skip almost everytime from every single breakfast spot, but for what is probably the first time ever, they were actually seasoned! Whatever person thought that just putting oil, onions, and bell peppers in a pan for a few minutes and the serving it should be castrated. The plate could have used more gravy, but the biscuits were so fluffy they basically fell apart and weren't dry and hard like some places. And you know how some places charge to split a plate? Not here! We also got the stuffed French toast which was just as great. The toast wasn't too eggy, plenty of scratch made whipped cream, and weren't skimpy on the blueberries either. Also wasn't overstuffed where all you could taste was cream cheese. I did try the homemade looking jam, but I would say its a bit concerning. I cant imagine them cleaning out the container after every table leaves and you never know what type of person before you is in the jar. All in all, this is the new default breakfast spot for sure. read more

My client and I needed some delicious brunch after running errands all morning and she told me to pick where we should go. After a few minutes, I drive us from E. Roseville Parkway & Douglas, all the way to Granite Rock Grille in Rocklin because I remembered how delicious my last visit here were. We arrived at 1 p.m, an hour before closing and we sat at a large booth right away. After being served waters, a server came by and took our order. My client ordered a Denver Omelet with country potatoes and rye toast off the senior menu. I ordered a C & C omelet with country potatoes with a biscuit & gravy. While we waited for our food to arrive, I admired the American flag mural on the wall. It is cute and country in here and I absolutely love it! Even the bathrooms are painted with a country theme! Our food arrived and after snapping a few pics, I noticed the biscuits & gravy was not hot on my first bite. So I skipped that until our server came back. She got me a new one right away. The temperature was better, but it felt like they only warmed up the gravy. My C & C Omelet comes with 3 eggs, mushrooms, spinach, bacon, cream cheese and regular cheese. It was honestly the best tasting omelet anyone has ever made for me! The cream cheese was weird, but in a good way. It did have a sort of dry edge on one bite, but otherwise, it was a perfectly fluffy homemade looking omelet. The country potatoes are red potatoes with bell peppers and onion. Delicious! It was a lot of food for us. My client took home one of my biscuits and half of her brunch as did I. We had great service and delicious food... I think we are going to make this our spot! read more

My mom told me about this restaurant a week ago, and since I was staying at the Sure Stay Hotel down the street, she recommended this restaurant. Everything was delicious, and service with a smile. Only thing was I left cash on the table for a gratuity, and I noticed they charged my card for gratuity. Oh, well read more

What a cute local gem! This place is very quaint. The servers are all very friendly and helpful. It was very cute and seemed like a 'local hangout' for many people. We had breakfast and ordered 3 different plates. The pancakes were large and delicious. They also go all out making sure everything is perfect. The syrup is even warmed up! The vegetarian skillet was so yummy! It is large and very filling!! The final item was a linguica omelette. The taste was fantastic but the linguica was a bit overcooked which makes it more difficult to chew, however w everything else it was still quite tasty. Overall it was all fantastic and we will definitely try it again! read more

Chose the 4th of July for breakfast! So all American! So quaint and country like decor. Beautiful wall murals. The hostesses were in 5th gear. Non stop fast paced. Never missed a beat in service. Friendly, caring but didn't make you feel rushed and man were they turning out the tables. Food was amazing. So much! Can't wait to return. God bless America and small businesses! read more

Wow what an absolute disappointment honestly, it's been a long time since we've been here but after we went to the new farmers market today, we thought we'd go back and enjoy a nice breakfast ‍that did not happen first of all I was blown away by the prices 4 slices of bacon is $7.99 and a tuna melt for $22.99 are you out of your mind? Price gouging, tiny portions and mediocre service is the perfect best recipe for failure . I do wish you guys the best of luck, but I don't recommend this place unless you have money to burn. read more

Service and the food will always have me coming back . Boy do I have write a book on how good this place.

Best spot any where near Rocklin, Roseville or al9ng highway 80. It's a local establishment of local culture and high quality atmosphere with super home grown type meals. Once there you'll remember the old fashioned type people service and dining experience you rarely find in California these days. Enjoy yourself. read more

the food here is absolutely amazing! the fries were perfectly seasoned and the milkshake tasted wonderful--way better than others i've had and the presentation was through the roof. chayo/rosario aided our server in serving us, and it was amazing! so sweet and everyone kind. very old fashioned vibe, but those who come here frequently love it! overall great :) read more

Granite Rock Grille - French Fries, milkshake - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rocklin, California

Meeting a girlfriend for breakfast, she recommended Granite Rock Grille. This no-frills, comfort food diner was exactly what we were looking for. Seated in a comfy booth, she went with her regular order of a gluten-free waffle and chicken apple sausage. I was craving breakfast comfort food goodness, so I decided to try the corned beef hash with scrambled eggs and hashbrowns. The corned beef hash was tasty and plentiful. The hashbrowns were crispy and golden brown. And the side biscuit was massive! It was so buttery and flaky. So if you're looking for good food, reasonable prices, large portions, and friendly service, come check out Granite Rock Grille. read more

Nope. Not sure why this place has the score it does, but it is NOT a 4.3. A 2.5 maybe. Chicken and waffles - yuck. Over fried and flavorless chicken, cloyingly sweet waffles with dissolving texture. Chorizo and eggs were ok, but the hash browns were greasy and also over cooked. Will not come back. read more

Why is iced tea better with an iced tea spoon? Why??! I don't know, but it is. Something about vigorously stirring in the sugar makes it better. This is a great breakfast place. It has good value senior options for senior family members. I always get the veggie omelette and it's very good. Big iced tea around, large portions, GREAT service. One star off for the flies. Terrible last time, only a little annoying this time, maybe they are solving the problem. I recommend! read more

I have to come to Rocklin a few times a year for work. I always wanted to try this place, but never had time. But this time I did! I got there really early and was seated immediately. The woman who was there was nice and very attentive, she was also hella patient with me while I was staring at the menu. I ended up getting the omelet and biscuits w/ gravy. The food was good and I was way too full. I should have not eaten that before a full day of work. lol. There's parking on the side and the decor is hella Americana which was cool. read more

Have always loved the food here...so as usual we went on Mothers Day for breakfast. I wait all year to get their prime rib steak breakfast...to my disappointment we were told it wasn't ready yet and would be a 40 min wait. I went ahead and ordered something else. I think when a restaurant opens their door they should have everything ready to serve? It's the day after and I am still disappointed...Won't make that mistake again. Doors open at 6:30 and this steak wouldn't be ready to order till 7:30? read more

Heard about this place awhile ago but finally got a chance to try it. Arrived around 11 am on a weekday. We got seated immediately and there were lots of open tables. Came with a friend. I ordered the chicken fried steak. My friend got a side of corned beef and a cinnamon roll. Portions are large and a good deal for the price! The corned beef is fresh rather than canned which is great. The cinnamon roll I massive and the size of the entire dinner plate! My chicken fried steak was crispy and cooked well. I ordered a biscuit with it which was also twice the size of a normal biscuit. The menu is massive. The servers were attentive and I would return to try other foods. read more

Dannnnnnnng! This place is everything I love. The waitresses were the kind that don't let your coffee cup empty and they call you honey! I absolutely loved the service I mean 10 stars but I need to get right to the point.... From the very first bite I knew that this place knew how to season food! The food was home cooked and full of flavour. Although me and my cousin did NOT get the lightest fare... it wasn't greasy or too heavy... it was delicious and well balanced. I have one regret, I was really wanting to order a piece of toast because the jam on the table looked like the kind my granny used to jar every year:) The look of the restaurant wasn't fancy but it was cozy and I loved the American feel. Also check out the salsa wall... yep the wall:) read more

Granite Rock Grille - J&J Taco Omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rocklin, California

Try out this local breakfast and lunch diner for the first time. Parking is a little bit of a challenge so make sure to arrive early for breakfast. There is a private parking lot with limited spaces. The menu is quite large, with a wide variety of breakfast and lunch options. I ordered the mushroom and cheese omelette with hashbrowns. Everything was cooked to perfection however did like a little bit of flavor. The toast was fresh and the coffee was hot. My son ordered the breakfast special consistconsisted of two eggs, country potatoes sausage, bacon, and ham. Along with two very big pancakes that tasted absolutely delicious. I would definitely love to come back to try their lunches. The service was friendly and fast. read more

I still hold firm on my previous review. However, I did select the homemade biscuit over toast this time, and I'm so glad I did!! The biscuit is a meal unto itself, fluffy and so darn good. It is super humongous. Never skip it as I did last time. Otherwise, the place looks the same with very good and competent service. It seems like the people working here have done so for a very long time. I had forgotten how extensive the menu is for breakfast! There has to be something for everyone, but don't expect anything too creative or low in calories. My choice for this meal was the Santa Fe scramble with home fries. It was an abundant meal and very well prepared. I enjoyed it. The scramble came with a side of salsa that looked and tasted more the consistency of Ketchup. Breakfast is $15. or so, but the portions are very large and filling. I wouldn't rank it at the top of my breakfast places, but it is competent and good when in the mood for a big breakfast of very typical 'greasy spoon' fare. read more

Overall great experience. Outstanding service and food was very good as well. Will definitely return.

Gotta love a comfortable family-style restaurant where most of the items on the menu are named after a customer or staff. Great breakfast menu that's gonna take you awhile to go through, so grab a cup of coffee and take your time. The food is a 3-star, everything solid and flavorful - the service and atmosphere moves it to 4-star. There's even a whole line of mimosas for those wanting to do weekend brunch ... and if I were to start a line of specialty foods, I'd use the same of one of their items for it ...

Great comfort food. Large servings great service. Very friendly. Breakfast is the best!

The food is terrific, the prices are reasonable and the portions are very satisfying. The interior is very welcoming. The flavors were consistent and their daily soups were delicious with our halve sandwiches. The homemade biscuit was so light and flaky especially with their homemade jams. My sister and I ate there for breakfast and lunch many times while visiting Rocklin. Our server, Rebecca, was always very pleasant and thoughtful. Her excellent service always made our visit and meals delicious! read more

Other than the OJ which was bitter, the food was fine. However, the bfast came to $27 for 2 eggs 3 strips of bacon, toast and hash browns. I know eating out has gotten expensive, but give me a break.
