My friend and I decided that Rolly's was going to be the place we would try for the month of May…read more We were not disappointed. The food was what I was expecting and hoping for....rich, indulgent food, that met my savory and sweet cravings. We were greeted immediately upon walking through the door and were instructed to sit any where we wanted. We had plenty to choose from around 10:30am on Saturday, even on a holiday weekend. All of the open tables, were clean and ready for new patrons. The restaurant was about half full and appeared to be mostly regulars, as they were chatting with the staff and each other. I love local places that know the locals that well. Our drink orders were taken within a minute of sitting. The hot chocolate were rich and creamy even without whipped cream. I opted not to have it added. I ordered a blueberry muffin as my "appetizer". They offer it as is, or grilled. I love it grilled and it was good and not too filling. For our meals we ordered a table pancake (meaning, a pancake for sharing). It was fluffy and perfectly good - nice and hot. They have "syrup" and it reminded me of being a kid and having Log Cabin syrup. I didn't ask, but it didn't taste like pure maple syrup. I ordered the corned beef hash skillet with a grilled english muffin. It was perfectly cooked and it was delicious. It tasted like canned corned beef hash and I was not mad about it. I truly wanted comfort food and this hit. My friend had the S.O.S. (gravy with beef and pork) AKA Sh*t on a Shingle. It looked soooo good and she stated the biscuit and gravy and meat were good. We took our leftovers home, which will tell you, the portions were decent, the food was delicious and no delicious food would be left behind. I recommend this restaurant if you are interested in diner food, with quick friendly service and plenty of space. I definitely want to come back and get the S.O.S.

The breakfast is everything that you would expect and cooked to perfection! Eggs, a meat side, and pancakes with a drip coffee!! All for $9!! It's Hard to beat this morning spots with fair prices on provisions! The service provided is fair for the mere business of this location in the morning.

My friend had a double cheeseburger with raw onions and mayo. Both were good. Bread - super soft. The fries were a little crispy (just the way I like them). Soda in bottles and on tap. The dining room is bigger than it looked on the outside. Order at the counter, and then pick it up when they call your number. Decent prices - especially in today's economic environment. I think I would have been underwhelmed with a single patty, for whatever that's worth. Two was good and worth the extra money. I understand that sitting the burgers on napkins vs a cardboard "basket" like the fries, I a lot cheaper. It's also very messy. Our burgers stuck to the napkin every time we sat them down.

She stopped by several times to take the drink order, food order, and a few other times during our visit to ensure we were content. The food, oh the food.... Much of the food was mediocre at best. The food was presented on a mix of plates, cups, and bowls (this is a cool touch). The majority of the food was colorless and dried out. The waffle appeared remnants of a meal made earlier or freezer burnt and lamely rewarded. The Oatmeal was clearly out of a warming pot and lacked any texture and appeared as a warm paste. The toast was the best part of my dates meal dressed up with butter and jams. As for me, the best part was the freshly fried eggs and locally procured sausages.

After waiting for about 15 minutes no one appeared so I left. If business was slow, it got even slower when they lost their only customer.

We had a really BAD service experience and here's why: ever since we got inside and sat down, our waitress was NOT attentive to our needs while we were in your establishment. My mom asked for lemon with her water, and she NEVER got it at all, we waited like 30mins for a simple lemon so i had to give her my lemon! We did the 3-course meal which we do almost every time and the waitress didn't tell us what the choices were like at all! She didn't check on us, tell us why our meal wasn't coming out but she brought EVERYONE else's food in front/round/behind us or ask if we/i wanted a refill on my mango iced tea! we ordered our meal like 5:45 and waited till like 6:10 and it felt way longer than that cause I saw our waitress bringing everyone's food like i said above. we had to ask a manger for our meal and all we got was " we're backed up", like seriously? You're backed up but our waitress can deliver everyone else food and NOT ours?! The manager didn't even comp our meals for the service at all. My mom and I just wanted a really good service and good meal, but we weren't given that at ALL! I didn't get to eat my meal as i was hoping to and mom had one of her tacos and didn't finish since we had BAD service! Before we left and my mom was given the check, our waitress finally came and apologized but she showed lack of customer service! She would've gotten a tip if she was more attentive to our needs. Every time she was delivering everyone else's meals and not ours, i kept feeling like we were invisible. Mom also had to the bar since we were sitting next to it and we were being ignored the whole time by our waitress to take mom's money and the women at the bar said she couldn't help my mom so mom said " well, someone needs to take my money!" and the manager on duty had to bring our orders, anything we wanted to our table and had to cash us out! My mom as a veteran shouldn't had to be treated like this like AT ALL!

Their breakfast menu is simple and straight forward while also having enough that everyone should easily find something. Also the food took no time at all to arrive. My wife built her own omelette and I had the breakfast burrito. The omelette was jam packed full and my only knock on the burrito was wishing it had been grilled but tasty nonetheless. A local establishment worth supporting for some good tasting food and reasonable prices! Check them out!

Cute on the inside, great portions, top notch service. The only issue has been the construction on the road, and parking here can be really tough when it is busy.
