Great local restaurant. We went for breakfast. Full of locals which is a good sign. The food came out super fast, even though it was busy. Real people wait staff. Food was good. The views were beautiful. read more

Everything was great! Good food, good service, it doesn't get much better than that! What else can I tell you, stop in and see for yourself!

I chose this place because it was in walking distance to the hotel I was staying. It's not really a diner in a sense of you can order whatever you want at any time, I really wanted a burger but couldn't have because it was breakfast time. I had the one pancake two eggs two strips of bacon a slice of ham and a sausage patty, that's a whole lot of meat but I did skimp on the bacon the taste was not to my liking, it didn't have an authentic bacon taste it tasted cheap and paper thin. But everything else was pretty OK the service was good I would return if I was ever in the area. Get there early because the place fills up pretty quickly as it is a small space. read more

House made into restaurant. Right on the Susquehanna River, open 0630-1500 (3pm), seven days a week. Sunday's are their busiest. Home cooked food, friendly service. If you sit at the "bar" you get to be part of the kitchen drama/action. These ladies are running crazy, keeping their customers happy & celebrating their 9 year business anniversary. read more

River Rock makes THE BEST BURGER I have ever had in my entire life. The first time I ate one of their burgers I remarked that whoever made that burger was put on earth to make them. This still holds true. Typical diner atmosphere, but the staff is always friendly. read more

Food. Ate here for years. Never again. Omlet tasted like lighter fluid and metal?? Only ate , thought was going to be sick. Some kind of cleaning solution?? Waitress got the extra star for not charging me when she asked why I didn't eat. She was a doll. I would not trust it again. 66 yrs, never tasted anything like that. Took hour to get taste out of mouth. Wow read more

Just all around good food, I like that they serve breakfast all day as well. I enjoyed the homey atmosphere and being able to sit outside with a view of the River. You are sure to get value for your money spent here read more

We have stopped here several times and always a great meal and great service! Take out food is always prepared quickly. Cut deck out back with river view. read more

Stopped by here on a whim traveling. Typical diner - food was good nothing spectacular. Service ok. Two of my kids ordered sandwiches and on the menu they say they come with pickle and slaw. When they came out there was no pickle or slaw. When I asked the waitress about it she said there's a new owner and he only wants us to bring the sides out if people ask. Umm ok how about just maybe raising the prices? Or taking the sides off the menu? read more

Nice spot with a great spot on the river and the nicest people in town. Order ahead to take out, plenty of counter space for solo diners, or eat at one of the many tables or snag one outside. Breakfast & lunch only & credit cards accepted too. Tip 20% at least please folks. These ladies literally RUN to bring you hot fresh food in from the service. A couple extra bucks go a long way. read more

Our first visit to River Rock was short but not sweet. We arrived around 9:30 am on a Saturday. There were several open seats and we saw one waitress at first. After sitting for 15 minutes, a busboy asked if anyone had been over to give us a menu or get our drink order. He took pity on us and got our coffees. We then sat for another fifteen minutes while the waitress passed our table several times but did not glance our way. Needless to say, we offered to pay for our coffees on our way out and only then did we see two waitresses behind the counter At that point, they found the time to speak us to apologize and ask us to stay. The waitress even followed us out to the parking lot to offer a free meal. Maybe they should extend that same amount of effort when the customers are in the seats. Needless to say, we declined that extremely tardy offer, but did get a free coffee out of the very negative experience. There are several other restaurants in Owego where they don't ignore their customers. Go to one of those!!! read more

Very good family restaurant with fair prices! Food, service, view, ambience, location, parking

Had lunch today at the rock and the club sandwich was tasty... I also enjoyed the sweet potato fries which came out hot and crispy. Cole slow was good too, not too sweet, just on the smaller size... service was great too! Overall a fine lunch. read more

The prices here are pretty reasonable, entrees in the $3.95-$8.95 range. I stopped at River Rock Diner for breakfast recently. It was seat yourself and I found an open table. I ordered the Western Omelet ($4.95) with American cheese (add $0.50) and an ice water (I already had coffee beforehand). The food was served to me in about 10 minutes after ordering. The portion of food was the right size and filling. The rectangular shaped Western Omelet was the blended type with a mix of ham, green peppers, onions, and cheese. The homefries were seasoned chopped potatoes, grilled firm on the outside to a crisp. The wheat toast was already buttered, Smuckers preserves on the table. Overall, the breakfast I had was very good and reasonably priced. The service by the waitress was prompt and I was given another ice water as I finished the first glass. read more

I always have a great experience at River Rock Diner. The food and staff are great. Portion sizes are good at all meals, breakfast, lunch & dinner.

We have stopped there the last two years on our way back from Watkins Glen. It's simple diner with good food and good prices.

It is late September and the weather is absolutely gorgeous and a lot warmer than it should be for this time of year. My husband and I decided to come here after a doctors appointment for breakfast. We run our own little café down the road and don't get a chance to come up this way very often. Courtney was our server and she did a wonderful job! She was very accommodating and let us dine on the back deck. The weather was gorgeous,and their outdoor seating was lovely! They have a double deck with a very nice view of the Susquehanna River. The food was delicious and came out quickly. We had a delightful experience and highly recommend it for breakfast. We hope to stop back for lunch because they have an extensive menu and they are open until 3 PM daily. read more

Wonderful spot for breakfast and lunch. Friendly and quick service. Menu prices are reasonable. So many different items and specials, each cooked well and flavorful. Outdoor seating on a tiered deck adds something special in the warm months. Hidden gem- make sure to add this to your plans. read more

Such a overlooked jewel if you aren't from the neighborhood. Happened to have time to stop here (even though I was on a time crunch of 30 minutes.) I entered and right away felt a friendly ambiance. I asked to order take out and the items were pretty cheap. We thought no way could they be good, but they were! Ordered a tuna melt with sweet potato fries, chicken salad and New England clam chowder. While I waited I enjoyed the view outside and the hostess offered me water- even to pack my water to go. The cashier and I made small talk and my only regret was not having more time to actually eat here. read more

Beautiful location with excellent feta and spinach omlet. Friendly and efficient wait staff. Perfect for us while travelling on 17.

Food was remarkably average. Also, menu prices were NOT accurate! A veggie omlette, included with homefries & toast, was labeled at $7.25 on the menu. The check was for $18 after tax! This is ridiculous. Better off going up the street to a different place - don't waste your time or money here. read more

Stopped here on a whim after catching a movie in Owego. This place had good reviews on Yelp. Very impressed. We both had salads, Chef and Cobb. Both were excellent and large. I also had Manhattan Clam Chowder which was very good. Server Tara was pleasant and attentive. An excellent meal. Recommended. We will be back. read more
