Staying nearby and we need a bit to eat. This place had good reviews so we checked it out. The place is TINY inside and can feel a bit crammed imo but the food was really good. I had the tuna melt. My son had a burger and my husband got the roast beef and Swiss sandwich. Pasta salad was really good as well. Prices were decent. The young teen girl working didn't seem friendly but the after church rush was starting to come. Still 5 stars and I'm sure it's the place to go in town!! read more

First time in! Cute little place with indoor and outdoor seating. Great oldies music. Great, friendly staff. 100 sanitation grade!! The food was delicious. Lauren's Grilled Turkey was really tasty. Loved the potato salad, too. My husband had the Hot Italian and said it was really good. Located in Danbury, a must try. read more

Great little spot right near Hanging Rock State Park! Solid sandwiches with fresh and tasty ingredients. I came by for lunch after my hike and doing some research in the area for a well deserved lunch. RRC did not disappoint and lived up to its positive reviews! There's plenty on the menu, it was so tough to decide! I went pretty simple and it was one of the tastiest sandwiches I've ever had out, but let me first talk about the kindness of the staff. The man that took my order was absolutely the nicest, most welcoming person I've ever met at a restaurant. He was just a divine human being. I can tell that's the kind of establishment this is. I watched a few other patrons come in and he knew them all by name! The restaurant is fairly small but there's a good amount of tables inside and out. You order at the counter and they call your name. It was super quick! The prices are also wonderful, especially in a time where costs are rising AND there aren't a ton of options around here, so for their prices to remain low is impressive. Now the good stuff! I ordered the Paul-Michael's sub. Smoky turkey and ham, the meltiest of cheeses, lettuce, tomato, and mayo on a hoagie roll, grilled to perfection. Seriously y'all I can't explain why this was so good but it was delightful. The pasta salad was also tasty, I prefer a little more creaminess but it was yummy! All around, 10/10 experience. I will definitely be back! They're only open 11-2, so make sure you plan accordingly and fit this stop into your day! read more

Love this place. They have really good flatbreads and sandwiches. The staff is really nice and the restaurant is clean along with outdoor seating. Love going when the weather is nice to eat outside. I definitely recommend this gem! We even order a burger patty for our dog and it's huge. My fur baby loves it!! read more

Stopped by after hiking and glad I did. One of the best potato salads I've ever had. Friendly people. Plenty of parking. Plenty of seating inside and outside. The French dip was also spot on - perfectly toasted bread with healthy portion of flavorful meat. I thought I'd save half for later but it didn't stand a chance. Demolished the whole thing. Also note Google has their hours til 2p, but they're actually open til 3p. read more

Great food. The Beef & Vegetables soup is like grandma made it (amazing). The service is 5*. read more

What a GEM of a Cafe!!! We had a late lunch here today - the gentleman who took our order was so pleasant and welcoming, it felt like we were in a friend's kitchen! The Carnivore flatbread was one of the best I've ever had anywhere - the crust was perfectly cooked and flavorful, every topping was fresh and so tasty! Not a morsel of the Chicken Salad sandwich was left behind and the same for the Pulled Pork Daily Special Sandwich! The space was clean and bright, filled with local pictures and information. We were so stuffed from the delicious food that there was no room for what looked like the best Chocolate Chip Cookie and Brownie I've seen in a long time!!! Be sure to check this place out in Danbury!!! read more

Brought 29 hungry Boy Scouts in 15 minutes before closing (called ahead of time). Not only were the staff extremely friendly, but the pizza was outstanding. Probably one of the best pizzas I've had in a long time. If I'm ever in this area again, I would go out of my way to stop here for lunch. Perhaps next time we'll plan better and arrive earlier. Thanks for the great service! read more

It's Danbury which has nowhere to eat. This is probably the best place which is still casual. I've had mixed experiences here. Sometimes super pleasant and good food....sometimes just ok. Because it's across from town offices...I don't think you are going to get unbiased reviews. Not many choices of places to eat! I would rarely ever listen to a Yelp elite reviewer lol ....apartments in the area lmao I would be afraid to see them. Danbury needs quite a bit of improvement........ read more

My mom and I decided on another one of our day trip adventures. We decided we wanted to take the scenic route out by hanging rock. Since we left so early, we knew that we would have to stop for lunch somewhere. I checked my trusty Yelp up to see if there was anything recommended in the area and found this lovely little treasure. I am more convinced than ever, that Yelp has helped me find some of the sweetest, and cutest, little places to eat during my adventures. This is the sandwich place. It's in the cutest little town called Danbury in North Carolina down the street from hanging Rock State park. Inside it has about six to eight tables. You walk up to the counter to order what you want ( it's hot sandwiches cold sandwiches chili) We both got the Lauren, which is smoked turkey with lettuce and honey mustard on marbled rye bread. Mom got hers cold, I got mine grilled. It doesn't sound like much but let me tell you, they were REALLY good Sammies! This is a very popular place and while we were there some lunch regulars came in It was so friendly and so jovial I honestly wanted to look at apartments for rent in the area! It has been a long time since I have been someplace that made me feel this welcome. I earnestly hope that if you go out to Hanging Rock (and why wouldn't you?) that you stop here for lunch. Oh! On an aside....CLEANEST bathrooms EVER in ANY restaurant I have ever been to. SPOTLESS. read more

Yesterday was our first visit here and absolutely everything was perfect ! First of all, I was won over by the fact that they not only welcomed our fur baby Crowley, but they actually have a section on the menu JUST for dogs! We ate outside and enjoyed talking to Violet, who brought Crowley's steak and cheese platter to the table , complete with a bowl of ice water! Everything we ordered was SO good , especially the potato salad. So much so that we all wished we had more of it after we got home :) Pasta salad , Buffalo chicken wrap, the cheese sandwich - every bit of it was delicious! Another positive - and very important to me - the sweet tea was as good as mine ! Already planning on going back and also taking more family members to this cool little place! BTW, I never leave reviews for the most part. But I was definitely impressed with this place and wanted to share this great experience! read more

Food is very good, nice place, just a little too small. Service is good too One small issue: when we asked for fries with our cheesesteak sandwich, the cook in the kitchen replied with an affirmation that they want to keep it healthy! Just to let you know sir, nothing but your salad on the menu is healthy, and replacing a side of fries with a side of a bag of chips does not make it healthy either :) Just say that you do not have a hood and therefore you cannot install fryers, better than bragging about something you do not have. Or just say that you do not have fries and you offer bags of chips instead. Simple. I read more

They are only open during lunch hours, at least during the work week, but this place has everything to eat as. Everything our party had was super delicious. read more

Ate lunch here before hiking in Hanging Rock State Park. Wife had a flatbread and I had a sandwich. Huge selection. Good portions. Looks like all the police in town eat here so you know it must be good. Food was a bit salty but still very good. Would recommend! read more

THIS IS THE BEST FOOD I HAVE EVER HAD. I am not exaggerating. My husband and I stopped here after our hike at Hanging Rock State Park. I saw that it had good reviews and it's one of very few places around so we decided to test it out. The man taking our order was so incredibly friendly. The food came out so quick too. My husband got the BBQ chicken wrap that was on special. It was chicken, bbq sauce, ranch, lettuce and tomato in a wrap. It was absolutely amazing. I got Yogi's sub which was smoked Turkey, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato and Italian dressing on a hoagie roll. It was incredible. Their potato salad and pasta salad were both super good too. They had cookies and brownies at the front counter too which were very tempting but I abstained. I am seriously considering driving back the 2 hours to Danbury just to eat here. read more

We often stop here after hiking at Hanging Rock. Great little cafe! Friendly service and great food! Highly recommend it!

Great little sandwich shop right off the roadway. We picked spur of the moment and it was fantastic. Great sandwich variety with simple sides and drinks. Perfect for a stop while enjoying the local colors and scenic area. No good pic as I ate too fast! read more

the food was delicious, i got the flatbread pizza and it was huge and so good! the workers are so nice and they have a good variety of sandwiches, salads, and pizzas. thank you! read more

Came into this restaurant after seeing it from the roadway a few times. This establishment is only open for lunch M-F 11-2 and Sa/Su 11-3. I ordered the Wildcat #21 which was a Rueben Sandwich. It was quite tasty, and easily one of the top 10 Rueben's I've eaten. I had potato salad as a side wasn't too impressed with it because it had a small sweet taste. However, would highly recommend this place for anyone to grab lunch with if I'm going to the State Park with which is right down the road. read more

Great location close to hanging rock and friendly staff. The flatbreads were really good especially the one with mushroom, peppers and smoked turkey. The actual flatbread part is nicely baked and chewy textured. Would recommend this place. read more

The food at River Rock is always good. The carnivore flatbread pizza is amazing! Service is as fast as you can expect for fresh-made food. read more

Excellent food and service. Always stop by when in Danbury. I don't know what else to say, since yelp requires you to have a certain number of words in their review. read more

Great unexpected place in the quaint town of Danbury. They have an extensive menu but so far I've only tried a few of the sandwiches which have been excellent. Grab your lunch & head up the road to Hanging Rock and enjoy lunch al fresco - or if you're on the verge of hanger, just have a seat inside or out front at one of the covered tables. :) read more

Food is absolutely delicious!!! Sandwiches, pizza, burgers and flatbreads are all good!!! The "Big Bear" is my favorite sandwich, horseradish sauce (homemade) really sets it off. One of the best sandwiches I've ever had in my life. Great service experience every time I visit!!! read more

It's a treat when we get to eat here. Always fresh, lots of variety and always delicious. Friendly faces and good food, can't beat it.

Great food and nice staff! We were visiting from out of town and they accommodated us well .

Really good. We came around 1 on a Friday after visiting Hanging Rock State park. There was plenty of seating and the food was made quickly. Everything we had from the kids grilled cheese to a Jack pepper sandwich, pesto flatbread, vegetable beef soup, was very good. Prices are very reasonable and there is a lot to choose from on the menu. Staff is friendly, bathrooms are clean. We will be back! read more

We love the Dan River Club, it's so good! River Rock is a great local option when in Danbury. Really good quality food and the service is excellent. read more

Great food, would definitely recommend eating here. Food is a little pricy for what it is but very delicious!!

This place is up on the hill, you'll miss it if you drive by too fast on the main road. It's attached to a few other businesses. This little spot is a God-send for hungry campers after a long drive! We also ordered extra wraps/sandwiches for our hike the next day and they kept well. The menu is great with lots of options and the food was tasty and fresh. The restaurant isn't full-service though, order up at the front. Great that they're open late in a small southern town read more

Real homey place, tucked away in the mountains. The service was fantastic, they were patient and very helpful with my family who has many food allergies. Staff was great and they use cast iron for their sandwiches! I got the rocky river pizza as a flatbread. The rest of the flatbreads look fantastic too, I highly recommend! read more

Great sandwich shop that also serves salads and flatbreads. All I've tried are fresh and delicious. Some of the sandwich items offer a full HALF POUND of meat! Order at register when you come in. Normally you can sit inside. As of this writing, because of the Covid pandemic, there are outside tables for you. Or call in. Pick it up. Close to Hanging Rock State Park, Stokes County Courthouse and Government Buildings, the Dan River, Danbury Arts Center. read more

Great place for lunch after hiking Hanging Rock- we all (kids and parents) had something we loved. Super friendly, fast service. Fresh, homemade food. Will be back again when we hike! read more

We were looking for some place to get lunch after tubing on The Dan River and this place is just down the road from the general store. I had the Green Heron which was one of the best flat bread sandwiches I've ever had. All of food was excellent, even the sweet tea was on the money. read more

Stopped to eat here after hiking at hanging rock. While the tables were appropriately spaced outside, I was shocked to see that none of the employees were wearing masks. This included not only the woman taking orders but the cooks! Absolutely not appropriate in the time of COVID. read more

Solid sandwiches to consume after hiking at Hanging Rock. It is very close to the park entrance. I like their bread.

We had been hiking at the Hanging Rock State Park and were quite hungry. We drove back to Danbury, looking for a place to eat. We ran across River Rock Cafe and decided to give the cafe a try! The food was great! The service was wonderful. The prices were quite reasonable. We would certainly recommend that you stop by to try their sandwiches and burgers. read more

Really good sandwiches with good portions and Cheerwine at the soda dispenser. Close to Hanging Rock, the courthouse and the library. It costs more than going to Hardee's 10 minutes away but you get what you pay for. There are a couple of grills up the road if you want a cheap sandwich but I'll pick this place over those places any day. read more

First time here and we loved the food. Shared pizza and a pressed sandwich. Both were so yummy! The service was nice and friendly too. Will definitely go back! read more
