This is a great little place along Route 66. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Love all of the Cars memorabilia and celebrating the movie. The menu is huge. We had fried green tomatoes and spaetzle as appetizers. My aunt got the Rueben sandwich with onion laces and I got the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and fried okra. It was so much food and tasted delicious. Gourmet Magazine featured the chicken fried steak and spaetzle was featured on Diners Drive-ins and Dives. They have a gift shop too. It's a fun little place! read more

We stopped on the way back from Oklahoma City to the rock Café been there before this is my third or fourth time there I had an appetizer onion rings and jalapeño peppers wasn't the best that I had the best that I had was that Linda Mars in West Tulsa back to the rock café. I think everybody should try it because it is on route 66 and it's old-fashioned. The food is good. The service is good. The ambience is 1940s café middle of nowhere Oklahoma but it is on route 66 and it is cute and if you've never stopped, you need to go see what all of the hoopla is about. It's just fun seeing old stuff I remember coming down route 66 in California to Tulsa in the 60s I remember all these places if you haven't been you need to at least visit once just to say that you've been there love route 66. I can't say that I have traveled the old route 66 all the way from California to Chicago not too much of the old parts left but what is left you need to see it taking everything on route 66. read more

I took a route 66 trip with my family and stopped at this amazing place! The food options were amazing. They also have a gift shop. The service was wonderful and friendly, and the place was clean with beautiful art. I would definitely go back. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Rock Cafe! Our food was delicious. Our server was great. She offered us the opportunity to sign their guest register. Our only wish was the napkins were bigger. We needed multiples after the juicy hamburger! The atmosphere was small town friendly. Who could ask for more? Keep smiling. God loves you! read more

I believe that this restaurant should have better then 4 stars. The sausage and eggs are a must try and if you like biscuits and gravy you will find none better from here to California, believe me I've tried. If you get the opportunity to stop and eat you will not be disappointed!! read more

Fun place to visit while traveling Route 66. My husband loved his bacon cheeseburger. My breaded chicken tenders were more breading than white meat. My mashed potatoes and green beans were flavorful. The waitresses were very attentive and they kept our drinks filled. You can take home your souvenir cup. The staff handled the crowd with ease. The diner was appropriately noisy with the buzz of hungry patrons. We will come back if in the state again. read more

The Rock Cafe was a fantastic stop on Route 66, Stroud, Ok. This is a historical building made from the old Route 66 highway. Destiny was our waitress. She has a wonderful personality, is well versed in the menu and the history of the Rock Cafe. Don't be shy to ask questions!! We went during a slow period (4 pm) and met with all of the staff as they took their shift breaks. We were able to see Betsy, the 75 year old powerhouse grill. Betsy, along with the fireplace, were the only two interior survivors of an atticfire in 2008. The mashed potatoes were homemade, The brown gravy...delicious. The chicken fried beef steak had minimal toughness & the hamburger steak was great. We will definitely be back!! read more

This was a great place to grab a Saturday lunch. I told my wife that we'll start taking a Saturday or Sunday and try different restaurants in OK. We chose the Rock Cafe as our destination. It was an hour drive from Oklahoma City and upon arrival we parked but couldn't really locate the entrance. Once we did we were greeted and seated immediately. There were several open tables and it appeared that we may have missed the lunch crowd. A delightful server (Alyssa - no clue if we spelled her name right) guided us through the menu and made great suggestions. She checked on us periodically and at one point in time provided history regarding the restaurant. Very informative! Especially to tell the story about Betsy, the name of the grill. She even took us back to the kitchen to check it out after we finished our meal. Pretty awesome to know that the grill was the only thing left after a fire destroyed the restaurant in 2008. We decided on Fried Pickles as an appetizer they were very good. Both of us decided on the Chicken Fried Steak. It was good but to be perfectly honest a steak knife would have worked better than a butter knife. The mashed potatoes were real, the fried okra was perfectly cooked and crispy. I was pleasantly surprised that I could order dessert. Typically I don't but this time I managed to save room. We choose the Peach Cobbler to split. I found it to be overly sweet and although we ate it all it was not my favorite. After we finished eating we made a short walk to the Ed Smalley Centennial Park which is adjacent to the restaurant. A very nice tribute to those who served in the Armed Forces. read more

Was not good, food was bland, seemed to be all frozen or canned nothing seemed fresh. Restaurant was small and seats need a refresh. Service was alright. read more

Not what was advertised online. Mediocre burger, fries were fried and not salted. Tasted like oil.

Great service! Great food! And they bring you in through what feels like a back door, but it's so you get to see "Betty" the mighty grill! read more

Rock Cafe - Jagerschnitzel! If this doesn't fill you up, nothing will! So delicious. My plan to save room for peach cobbler was a total fail! - German Near Me - Stroud, Oklahoma

On a cross country road trip and were on our way from Oklahoma City to Tulsa and stopped at Rock Cafe for lunch. I have traveled all around the world and eaten at all sorts of amazing restaurants. This was one of the best meals I have ever had. We were chatting with the super nice Lorah and was asking her what she recommended. One of the ladies cooking happened to be walking by and asked if I liked burgers and I said yes. We talked about what I wanted and she made me a bacon cheeseburger with fired jalapenos. It was literally the best burger I have ever had. The fries were good as well and my mom loved her meal as well. We took fried hand pies to go and at them later at our hotel and they were also good. Service was great as well. YOU MUST STOP AND EAT HERE!! read more

Delicious. You can taste the history. The bacon was so good. You can taste the grill flavoring. It is the same grill from 1939!! read more

Although, I've eaten at this place many times, I think it's time to review it again. I have always enjoyed this restaurant. The breakfast is good and so are lunch and dinner. My favorite things I've tried here are their indian tacos that they serve as the Thursday special and their jaegerschnitzel. The service is almost always above and beyond. The Cars decor is fun. Definitely worth stopping in if you're traveling Route 66. read more

Delicious home style food with a nice 70s and 80s vibe, however the prices are rather high. The service is nice and polish as well.

Cute little restaurant on historic Route 66. Hands down, the best chili I've ever had!

Stopped in for lunch today and it was amazing. Food was great and the service was outstanding. I'll be back.

On a bucket list road trip on Rt. 66, my husband and I stopped for the night in Stroud and decided to eat somewhere with a history. The Rock Cafe fit the bill perfectly. Even though it has been rebuilt, it's true to the previous structure and has the feel of a place that has been here for a very long time. The decor is charming and relevant to its history. The staff was so friendly we felt like we could have been regulars, and the food was the definition of comfort. It's a must if you find yourself in the area. read more

Rock Cafe is on Route 66 and it's a must stop! The food was delicious southern food. The hamburgers are so good and I enjoyed the peach cobbler! The waitstaff was very attentive. And you can catch lots of fun Route 66 decor in the restaurant. There's also a gift shop to visit! read more

The food was delicious, and the staff was friendly. The peach cobbler was particularly tasty, and the sweet tea was also very good. I also love the cars theme from the Disney movie in the building. read more

I was here yesterday, mid-afternoon. The entire property is littered with homemade, rickety signage, a bathtub (standing upright) and lots of other items like a junk yard. The chicken fried steak is NOT fried; rather it is cooked on a flat top griddle. Guy Fieri stopped here once. So, there's that. This says nothing about the quality of food. Don't come for the food. But it may be a fun pit stop on your Route 66 road trip. Take pictures, get fast food somewhere else. This place is tired, worn out, and trashed out. read more

We tried Rock Cafe today and were expecting more of a German flair. It was a typical greasy-spoon-small-town-diner. Getting to the front door was tricky. It was like a maze. Service was friendly enough. Ambiance was quirky - as expected for a Route 66 stop. We both ordered Jagerschnitzel which was completely "one note." It tasted like greasy deep fried pork smothered in brown gravy. The speitzel itself was good and if we return, I will likely just order that. Otherwise, our meals were just dominated by brown gravy and grease. We both left with a bit of indigestion...but full. read more

Rock Cafe - Jagerschnitzel - German Near Me - Stroud, Oklahoma

Small town diner -- a Route 66 icon. We were driving our 1963 Falcon up and down Route 66 and decided to stop at the Rock Cafe for lunch. The first thing I noticed was the open parking right at the front of the building, between the front door and Route 66 -- I wanted to park my classic car there for a photo, but it was NOT available for parking. Kind of odd. We parked in the gravel parking lot in the back, and followed the obscure signs winding through a gravel maze at the back of the building, near the kitchen entrance marked "employees only". Again, kind of odd. We walked past what appeared to be two outhouses, and entered the restaurant on the side opposite the parking, near the back of the building. Again -- kind of odd. Upon entering the building, you have a bathroom on the right and a kitchen straight ahead. It is not clear you are supposed to walk down the long hallway to the left -- someone in the kitchen told us what to do... We were seated quickly at noon on Saturday -- we expected it to be absolutely packed, but it was kind of dead in the dining area. Two tables were being used as office tables -- with computers and papers on them. Again -- kind of odd. (Do you see a pattern here?) Food was good -- hot and fresh, and delivered quickly. Chicken fried steak was kind of odd -- it seems they "fry" their chicken fried steak on a hot grill, which means the breading was kind of thick, heavy, soggy, and "kind of odd". Mashed potatoes were good. Gravy was good. Okra was hot and fresh and crispy (so they do have a deep fat fryer -- they just don't use it for the chicken fried steak!). Everything there was kind of laid back and low key. Our waiter was attentive, until the end of the meal when he took our plates and said have a nice day -- as if to say we were free to go -- but he never gave us our bill! We waited a long time and eventually had to ask him for the bill -- he said he simply forgot! You guessed it -- add another tick mark to the list of things "kind of odd" at the Rock Cafe... Leaving the building, you can't go out the door to the north (front door), or the east (side door that seems like it would dump you in the front parking lot) -- you have to walk down the long hallway to the kitchen, and go out the back, and then all the way around the back side of the building to the parking lot... The whole experience can be best described as, "Kind Of Odd". Or maybe "Route 66 charm"? Definitely different. Honestly, I think the Rock Cafe deserves something less than 5 stars, but I want to support Route 66 businesses. read more

Stopped for lunch here on our way to Tulsa. They were very accommodating in light of one of us having a disability. It was our server's first day on the job, and she did great.

Can't speak to the food, never got to order. Waitress never even acknowledged us. Too bad. I had heard good things.

This restaurant was so cute! The Bacon Cheeseburger is the best burger I've had! Also is "Cars" themed which made it all the more charming.

First time here and it was absolutely amazing. I had the bacon cheeseburger. My husband had chicken fried steak, okra, mashed potatoes and gravy and a biscuit. The biscuit the burger and the chicken fried steak were the best that we've ever had. This will become weekly regular. read more

Staying in this town for a week for work so decided to try the local fare. Had a nice outside patio but was cold so ate inside. The menu is like comfort food with German flair. Went with a colleague and had the chips and salsa to start that was fresh chips but the salsa would have been better if fresh made. For entree I had the Wiener schnitzel with spaetzel. The pasta dish was a little salty but overall very tasty including the mushroom gravy on top. Had water to drink after a long day but the real star of the show is their poor man's pecan pie dessert. It was a warm oatmeal cookie type pie served with some vanilla ice cream. Overall with limited offerings locally was a welcome retreat. read more

The service was really good but the food was greasy with no flavor with the exception of the chicken bites and they tasted like they were fried in old grease. The manager took those off the ticket. (I asked) Like other reviewers said it's a weird place...front door is hard to find and you have to walk on shredded tire to get to it...wear flats...it was 100 degrees outside and 80 degrees inside...I like a little more air conditioning. I won't be back. read more
