Excellent restaurant to have a event, because they have another room connected to the restaurant.

Just tried this place. Its been around for years and never knew it. Plate lunches that taste home cooked. The country fried steak was on point. Long line but the serve very fast and efficient. Kinda noisy with concrete floors and tin ceiling but a fabulous place for lunch. About 15 dollars with a drink plenty of food to fill me up. Steam table was completely stocked and steadily printing fresh out for the servers. Seems to be a more working crowd industrial area to grab a quick good lunch plate. Several choices of protien to choose. May return tomorrow for lunch try another dish! read more

You better come hungry. 'Cause this place is gonna feed you! Blue collar, cafeteria style joint. Not fancy. Not healthy. You are here to EAT! And boy it's good. It's a meat n three type of place. The kind of lunch that'll put you in a coma after you've finished . Line might be long but service is fast. Need to get filled up for a reasonable price and get out on time... try this spot. read more

On our way through town, we stopped for a quick lunch. My husband had hamburger steak, mashed potatoes, & corn. I had fried fish, green beans, & mac&cheese. We both enjoyed our lunch! It was delicious & going through the serving line "Luby's style" was very quick. We're so glad to have found this great place for lunch today! Thanks, Yelp reviewers! read more

Can be a little pricey but always makes for a good meal. I try to eat here at least once when I come to Beaumont.

I had lunch today at Rockin' A Cafe. The lunch was FANTASTIC and the prices were just as good. I should have gotten the hint early that this was a terrific place to eat because the majority of their customers are blue-collar men. They serve cafeteria-style and the atmosphere is casual. Today I chose the baked chicken. It was tender and flavored to the bone. The pieces are also large. My two sides were seasoned green beans and cooked carrots with a touch of sweetness. You get a cornbread or roll. I chose cornbread and it was very good. My lunch was $9.43 + tax and worth every penny. Everything was seasoned well and tasted great. I bought two more meals to go for hubby (for today and tomorrow). One was the fried chicken plate (sold only on Wednesday) for $9.43+ tax and a rib plate for $10.50 +tax. When asked if I wanted dark or white meat fried chicken I told them dark. The nice lady told me, "I don't have any more thighs so I will give you three drumsticks." A slice of lemon pound cake was $.50 and the peach cobbler was $1.00. I kid you not. The staff was friendly and the cafeteria was clean. I may have been sleeping on Rockin' A Cafe, but I won't sleep anymore. I hear their beef tips on Fridays are very popular. I will include a menu with my photos. This is a well-deserved best bites review. Check them out soon. You won't be disappointed. They are open M-F from 11-2. They are located at 3520 W Cardinal Drive in Beaumont. read more

Amazing crab legs. Boudan balls to die for. Crawfish were huge even meat in the claws!!

By far the BEST home cooking food you'll get in the area!!! Atmosphere is great. Staff is great! They're fast and consistent!!!

I like this place. Good home cooking. Lunch will run you around 10-12 dollars but you get large portions. I enjoy the meatloaf and sides. You go through a line buffet style like at an old Luby's. They have daily entrees and sides, so check their menu online. read more

Rockin A Cafe - Lunch with my husband - Burgers Near Me - Beaumont, Texas

I crave Rockin A Cafe!!! Yummy! My husband and I eat here often. We own a construction/concrete company and are always on the go. When we get together to eat for lunch... it's Rockin A Cafe! Everything is great here. I wouldn't know what to recommend. Everything has a different flavor and it always hits the spot... And let me tell you - the Yeast Rolls & bread pudding - ABSOLUTE HEAVEN!! And to top it off - Affordable pricing! My sons love their mashed potatoes and brown gravy, so when we go, I pick up a large order to-go as a side for dinner. It's a huge tub... for $2!!!! I can't even buy potatoes for that much! Definitely a must try. 3/24/17 Awesome every time! Had lunch here today č my hubby. We shared a plate... brisket, mashed potatoes, veggies and a side of mac and cheese. This is the only place that I will eat mac and cheese. Homemade! Amazing! Definitely a must do!! 5/8/17 read more

The food here is sooo good. I had the chicken fried chicken, mashed potatoes and fried okra. The okra reminded me of my grandparents. It was real okra fried to perfection!! My boyfriend had the smothered pork chops and the same sides as me. The pork chops were so tender they slid right off the bone! And the gravy was amazing! My only complaint was that it was really loud. The workers seemed to forget the restaurant was open and weren't really friendly or helpful with us or our choices. But the food more than made up for that. It was our first time here and we weren't sure how everything worked. Still not real sure but we ended up with some amazing food. We will definitely get the food here again but more than likely will take it to go. read more

Awesome, stick-to-your-ribs home-style cookin'. I've been craving beef tips for months now and today the gods blessed me some lumpy brown goo in a stainless steel tray. I was going for the ribs, but when I found out the slop was in fact beef tips, I went for it. So f'n awesome! It came with mashed potatoes and corn that covered the entire plate and a roll and a brownie. Everything was awesome and it looked like the rest of the menu was just as good. The place was full of content looking, big-bodied customers. I've heard the line can be out the door if you don't get there a little before noon, we got there at 11:30 and got right in the plate assembly line. Some of the best comfort food I've had in Beaumont. read more

Great food and good portions, this place is not a fancy place but very solid comfort food and great service attitude. I had the hamburger steak and it was baked or broiled not pan or plate fried. The meat was juicy and had great flavor with a delicate crust. The rice was good and the green beans were great. The pinto beans were sort of charros beans with meat and spices. I was too full for desert but it all looked great as well. I will be back to sample the ribs and fried chicken. read more

I've only eaten here a couple of times, and both times it was super crowded, very hot, and they ran out of white-meat fried chicken before we managed to make it up to the food. Of course,the reason they run out of food and are so crowded is that the food is delicious! Definitely arrive early if you want any chance of sampling everything they have. It's also best not to have your heart set on something so that you are happy with whatever entrees are available when your turn comes. I'm still hoping to try the chicken some day! HA! I hear it is fantastic! The meal is not very expensive and provides good southern cookin'! read more

Just recently got introduced to this place and oh my!! I have been missing out. I love everything about it. The service, atmosphere, cleanliness and most of all the ribs!!

In town for business and tried on a recommendation. Delicious food and friendly wait staff. Plenty to choose from to eat with ample food on the plates. This place isn't fancy but food is fresh and delicious. A must try. Almost went into a food coma afterwards. read more

I thought the food was really good and the staff was super friendly. Anytime I'm in the area, I'll be coming back.

Very good! Home style food. Growing up in the country on a dairy farm, this food reminds me of home. Tastes like Mawmaw's cookin'. On our way home to Louisiana from Houston and so glad we stopped! We will make it a stop anytime we are in this area for sure. For $20, my husband and I are stuffed! He had pork roast over rice and I had meatloaf. read more

I miss food like this. This place gets busy during the lunch hour. Try it out. You will love the food and leave stuffed.

Beat the lunch crowd and get there before noon. A ton of food for around $9.00 and you'll probably need to take some of it home.

Today, my lunch consisted of rice and gravy, carrots, greens, a corn bread muffin and a slice of lemon pound cake with water to drink. The total cost was $2.15 tax included!! Eliminate the "meat" and a drink, and this is THE best value restaurant/cafe in the USA!! read more

This place is worthy of a 5 star rating for 5 reasons: The food is absolutely delicious. They give very large portions. The menu is extensive. The food is cheap. No waiting on your food to come out. The chicken fried steak and fried catfish are rock solid. Love this place. read more

Good home comfort food cooking at a good price. The dish is plenty large so you won't leave hungry. You will get your food quick because its set up cafeteria style making it a good place for a quick lunch. read more

Everything that I have tried is great. The burgers, the onion rings, the fish, even the side dishes. It does have a funny name and strange location, but it matches the unique industrial building. Always crowded because it is good, but worth the wait. read more

Ate food from here all week while attending training in Beaumont. Never went to the cafe as the food was delivered to us, but it is some great homecooked food, just like Grandma used to make it. read more

One word, AMAZING!! This place is truly a hidden gem. The mac and cheese is one of the best I've ever had. Full meal including desert for 10 bucks. Do your self a favor and try this place if you're in the Beaumont area! read more

Very good home style food. They are a+ when it comes to catering. They did our family reunion and everybody was very pleased.

Rockin-A-Cafe : they always deliver when it comes to home style cooking. The best chicken fried steak in Beaumont, Tx..

Really good home cooked style food. Good price $20.20 for two meals that come with a meat, they had brisket, baked chicken, ribs, chicken fried steak, fried fish and hamburger steak. comes with 2 sides and a roll or corn bread and dessert. Bread pudding is awesome. read more

It's good food and plenty of it. I really thought it was good but not great. I went there for lunch and it was pretty busy but the line moved quickly. It is Southern cooking which can be a good thing. I am not a big fan of cafeteria/buffet style places but I make an exception for this one. The veggies are good and the meats are better than average. I usually end up getting whatever meat that is swimming in dark gravy, rice, greens or beans. I have eaten the fried chicken that I rate as very good and as good as any in town. It's not a place to impress your new flame but it's a good place to eat. read more

Held my 35th. and 40th. class reunion at the Rockin A Cafe the staff bent over backwards to accomodate, great food, banquet hall had good sound system, do what you want to do as for as decorations, lighted parking lot, a good safe enviroment. Had time to decorate before reunion never rushed, cost was very reasonable, thanks Butch looking forward to our 45th. reunion at the Rockin A read more

Best lunch in the area, they cater and you can rent there reception hall for a reasonable price great for High School reunions! Butch takes great care of his customers! read more
