Rock Cafe - Buffalo Burger with fried green tomatoes - German Near Me - Stroud, Oklahoma

We had a great dining experience for breakfast at the Rock Cafe this past Saturday. The menu items were priced very reasonably and the portions were hearty. We enjoyed the beignets that are made to order as an appetizer. The service was also prompt and courteous...our server made sure we never had to ask for a refill or warm up on our coffee. read more

Been going here for years - other food has changed a little, not as good as it used to be, but still great atmosphere and good place to stop on route 66 read more

Planning a trip to meet daughter in law with our grandson halfway and found this little restaurant pretty much on our path. I guess in 2006, Diners Drive-ins and Dives did a show featuring their jagersnitzel, spaetzel, and Buffalo burger. We figured we should stop in. The entrance is annoying as we parked on one side and thought the door was on the front but had to walk clear on the other side and follow signs to an entrance that was like a back entrance. Then walked through a narrow hall to get to the diner. Not a warm feeling. I thought someone must have a German background to serve schnitzel but that isn't exactly the case. Back in the day of the DDD show the owner was married to a German guy and that is where a touch of German food came from. The ONLY thing that is German on the menu is the famous main dish and spaetzel side dish and they even spell it incorrectly on the menu. The meat was excellent: nicely breaded, good piece of meat but the janet sauce was extremely heavy and way over powering in our opinion. We lived 4 years in Germany and ate a lot of schnitzel. This wasn't authentic but I don't really think that was their claim anymore anyway but wanted a reader to understand in case they are like me thinking they were going to get some legit German cuisine. We started with fried green tomatoes and they had a nice batter and we enjoyed them but not outstanding. I finished with some bread pudding which I love and the caption on the menu mentioned Houma which is where I am from in LA so had to try it. It was not heated through so I had cold bites with hot sauce and took 3 bites and decided it was worth taking home and heating up correctly to enjoy. The sauce was a yummy rum sauce and it was quite tasty. They had gift shop which was basically plastic souvenir cups and a few t-shirts. Not worth the visit. read more

This is an awesome little diner off of route 66 FILLED with history. The fries are delicious! I would definitely make a stop back here for fries and pie whenever I'm in the area. They have a pie called, "poor mans pie". A twist on pecan pie, using oatmeal instead. They also give very big portions here (yay!). The Rock Cafe has been featured on many different shows including Guy's Drive Ins and Dives. The service is awesome. One of our servers took the time to share with us the rich history of the restaurant. The owner played the voice of Sally in Cars and in exchange, Disney aired an ad for the Rock Cafe internationally for a summer. I highly recommend coming to check this place out and will definitely be returning any time I am in the area! read more

For what is, the Rock Cafe has exceeded my expectations. I commute to Stroud 4 days a week, so I hit up the Rock about once a week and have yet to be disappointed. I've had breakfast and lunch there, as well as some of their specials. The service has been excellent and the food has that good ol' "home cooked" taste to it. I have been most impressed with their bacon cheeseburger. I know what you're thinking...how great could a bacon cheeseburger be? Well, it's not necessarily that it taste way better than any bacon cheeseburger I've had, it's just prepared completely different than any bacon cheeseburger I've had. Instead of putting strips of bacon on the burger, the Rock chops up the bacon and mixes it with the cheese, so that you're left enjoying bacon with every bite. It's little things like that that I truly appreciate. If you're ever in Stroud, (which might be never) stop at the Rock and enjoy a tasty meal. read more

Rock Cafe - Bacon and onion buffalo cheeseburger with fried okra! #Delicious - German Near Me - Stroud, Oklahoma

Outstanding Route 66 Diner with history dating back to 1926. A newspaper like menu with historic articles is available for 50 cents. If travelling thru Okla on I-44 take the Stroud exit. Good service, excellent food, recently expanded dining area. Try the Schnitzle, best I've tasted since leaving Germany. Home made onion rings are a great appetizer. read more

It was a little hard to find but it was worth it. We had breakfast and everything was really good. The people were very friendly, everything was very clean. Food was hot and fresh, service was wonderful. We would do it again. read more

Feet like family the minute I stepped through the door. Love this place! Dawn, the owner, is a true gem who understands the meaning of hospitality. I ordered the traditional cheeseburger and fries and was definitely not disappointed. Nothing fancy - just juicy, cheesy and meaty. The fries were hand-cut and just like mom used to make. Will definitely be coming back soon! While there, I met the film crew and personalities of www.onlymotors.com. They are travelling Route 66 and visiting any place that has anything to do with cars. Check them out on Netflix UK. Great bunch! Good to meet you, Jonathan. read more

Interesting little place with okay food. Hamburger okay, FF and onion rings greasy. Server very friendly and talked to us until motorcycle group descended and took over the place. They were a mob of foreigners on a Route 66 Tour that started in Chicago and was going to Los Angeles! I heard all kinds of languages. Made the visit memorable. New hours, don't close at 3:00 pm anymore. read more

Awesome breakfast in this iconic cafe. Route 66 memorabilia abounds. The original grill "Betsy" is still in use since 1939! We ordered the beignets (little powered sugar-covered donuts). They were a tasty treat before our omelets. Everything was cheap, but super good. I think the omelet and the hash browns were the BEST I had ever had. Seriously. Bacon was slightly sweet. Maple maybe. Outside, there are cutouts from the movie Cars for photo ops. Fun! read more

The rum bread pudding was EXCELLENT! It was the best part of our meal. Had the chicken fried steak. It was very, very tender but I thought it lacked flavor. The smashed potatoes and gravy were fair. Again not a lot of flavor but it does allow you the opportunity to salt and pepper as you like I supposed. Service was really good and friendly. It was a fun out of town diner experience. Will come back sometime and try the burgers and get another bread pudding. YUM. read more

Absolutely had a ball here! My family and I are on a camping trip following Route 66 and we heard about the Rock Cafe, which has been around since 1939. We're huge Pixar fans, so it was even cooler to learn how the writers and director of "Cars" drove Route 66 in 2001 for inspiration and based the Sally Carrera character on owner Dawn Welch! The food here was excellent. We had: the grilled ham and cheese; chicken club; spaetzels, fried green tomatoes and buffalo burger. I also had a side of pinto beans, which were authentic and a healthier option to fries. We gobbled it all up. Lane and Roberta (an exchange student visiting from Lithuania) took good care of us and made us feel special. Looking forward to coming back someday. read more

We ate at the Rock Cafe, it was interesting seeing their connection with the Disney movie Cars. The food was much better than anticipated and very friendly service. A good stop especially if you have young kids, it will be a nice quick distraction for them if your on a longer drive. http://rockcafert66.com/index.html read more

Great atmosphere inside and out. Ordered chili and grilled cheese. Both were amazing. Fries were good but nothing special. Staff was friendly and attentive. They also have a nice little gift shop. read more

Being a TV food finder and working in Shawnee OK this week I jumped at the opportunity to visit Rock Cafe in Stroud. Greeted by the friendly staff they make you feel right at home. They are also proud to work at this iconic local land mark. Cling me into the history of the place the owner and the origin of the gems. Dishes on the menu. The interior is quaint lodge like and filled with Route 66 Americana. The story of Betsy the Vintage Wolfe Grill that survived a devastating fire adds to the legend of this 75 year old establishment. It all adds up to a can't pass by destination on your Route 66 road trip. On to the menu. Hey what can you say there are some nice items on the menu and a couple German dishes. I tried the pork schnitzel with homemade spaetzel and I completely enjoyed it. I appreciate the portion size but most folks would expect more on the plate. The roar on the dish is a filler and I wouldn't have eaten it if there were a bit more spaetzel. White that said the price was acceptable but remember, I'm a biz traveler and we normally don't pay too much attention to the cost. Al in as way off the beaten path places go the Rock Cafe is worth the trip for the food and nostalgia. read more

Super fun stop on classic Route 66! I would say save your appetite for a stop here if you are between OKC and Tulsa. The decor is super fun with just the right amount of roughness to keep the authentic feel. The service was incredible and the food was like traditional home cooking. I absolutely loved the biscuits and the gravy bowl was dry from me getting every drop. Our car club will have a lot of fun cruising out here for breakfast or lunch soon! read more

I have eaten here, off-and-on, for over 40 years (WAY before current ownership and the movie "Cars" came out). I have always enjoyed the atmosphere and unique food options. However, with the latest ownership, I have enjoyed the unique food options even more! My personal faves here are the bison burger and spaetzle! I like the outdoor area. Great improvement! I have fun reading the hallway walls and looking at the decore! Its a fun and unique HWY 66 experience everyone, young and old, should try at least once (bet you come back too )! read more

Have heard a lot about this place being on Diners, Drive-in's and Dives. Was very excited to try it! I ordered the chicken fried steak, fried okra and french fries. The okra was crispy and wonderful! The fries were greasy, a tad crispy, but still greasy. Couldn't eat them. The chicken fried steak and gravy had no seasoning at all. I couldn't really tell if the meat was costed or not before frying. Didn't eat much of that either. The whole place is eclectic and fun! Just didn't enjoy most of the food. Won't be back. read more

Stopped here again for a hamburger and patty melt. Both were excellent again. Nice friendly old fashioned cafe. And fun decor from the movie Cars. A must stop and eat destination. read more

This is a one of a kind little jewel you will want to stop at when traveling down Route 66! Excellent service, good food, and a fun and funky atmosphere! My Burger came with a knife and fork and it was a good thing! They make their hamburger buns fresh every day! Hubs loved his chicken fried steak, homemade roll, mashed potatoes and okra! read more

I was so excited to try Rock Cafe and mark another restaurant on my Rt 66 journey! It's even in the "100 Essential Stops on the Mother Road" book (Amy Bizzarri). One of the best features of a Rt 66 stop is engaging with people, both workers and patrons. Rock Cafe, on Dec 29 at 6:30pm, was NOT such a place. The restaurant was dark and we couldn't tell if anyone was there. One car was in the lot, so I went inside to check. The waitress was rude and pointed to another table, saying, "See? There are people here!" That should have been my tip-off. I brought the family (of 6) inside and we got seated. From the moment they got drink orders, the wait staff (2 young ladies) acted as though we were bothering them. Not once did they smile or even talk, except to get our orders. I asked questions about items and the menu and they had no clue what anything was. The flippant and uncaring attitudes continued throughout the meal. I even got the stink-eye when I asked for a final refill. As we ate, I noticed the cook (dishwasher?) taking plates off of people's tables prematurely and did the same to us. Clearly they had somewhere else to be, and wanted us gone. We should have taken our $140 elsewhere. The food was good and we got free cups. I definitely would not recommend this place to anyone, and the stop should be removed from Ms. Bizzari's otherwise excellent book. read more

Holy cow- their chicken fried steak is awesome. Texas toast was perfect. Mashed potatoes and gravy. Yum!! My husband had the taco salad he said the meat inside it was amazing. We were just driving through and found the reviews on yelp. Definitely worth a detour if you're in the area. Good home cooking like momma use to make! read more

My buddy took me here because its a local landmark and he like the food. So we drove in from Tulsa to have lunch. The food was ok, what you would expect to find in a diner, and the service was good as well. If your in the area, hungry and looking for some of the local color then you'll like it! read more

Great nostalgic place to eat and full of memorabilia. Stop by and give them a try if you are passing through Stroud, OK - you won't be disappointed.

It was horrible! I think it was a Friday evening. There were four of us and none of us could even eat it. We will Never go back. The server kept talking about how everything is homemade from scratch. We really thought she might have been experiencing some sort of mental disorder. She also kept telling us the bikers loved the place for the basket meals and cheap beers. Maybe we just expected something a little better? read more

This is a very cool place to eat. The decor and atmosphere is definitely a unique dining experience. I had the jaeger schnitzel. It was good not great. The spaetzle was ok, but edible. They put gravy all over everything, and it was just ok. I wish the meal would have came with some kind of cabbage dish. It is not great German food. However, I think it would be a great place for burgers and fried food. Come here for the unique experience, not for the food. The atmosphere is awesome. The food is very average. read more

Servers were friendly... However there was a very long wait and seemed a bit unorganized. The kitchen had gotten backed up and so the servers just quit taking orders for a little while. Once the food arrived however the place redeemed itself. The Buffalo burger was delicious as was the spatzle. We also ordered beans and cornbread. The cornbread was a little too sweet for our taste but I'm sure lots of people enjoy it. The place is a bit of a novelty as the "Cars" movie was inspired by this restaurant, and was on the original Route 66. Overall a pleasant experience and good food. read more

They have the best cheeseburgers in the area. Probably the state. The Bison burger is awesome.

Menu is not German. Just the usual burger fare. Try another real German restaurant in town.
