They have a really good milkshake. If you appreciate a good Cuban sandwich, they make a good sandwich as well.

Best fish n chips I've ever had! My hubby liked the fries, and he's super picky. Can't wait to go back for breakfast.

Went in for their breakfast. Great corned beef hash & eggs. The service was delightful. It is attached to the Kasilof General Store and is a living piece of local history. A great place to stop on your way to or from Homer. read more

Quick and easy roadside place. They don't serve beer, prices are about what you can expect in Alaska. The mercantile is cool and we were able to get fishing licenses. Everyone was friendly. read more

Great place to stop if you are driving through. We were heading back to Anchorage after a weekend in Homer. The place was full from the music festival down in Ninilchik. The coffee was great and we enjoyed breakfast. I saw some comments about the prices, but they seemed on par with other places. I had the seafood omelette. If you love crab and shrimp, I highly recommend it. Don't be in a rush. It's worth the time to relax and en read more

Rocky's cafe /store/ video store So cute it is a tiny cafe in Kasilof Ak if you drive too fast you will blow by it. Nice place to stop for a bite to eat and use restroom. Take a step back in time as you pass through the video store going to restroom. The food was good but pricey for a little place. The general store has tons of goodies and souvenirs t shirts. Service was slow they only had one waitress working and she was busy. The cafe was very clean inside. read more

The price sacking in this business is beyond a lie. The restaurant is obscenely over priced let alone how over priced the grocery side is. The owner has no customer service skills and constantly does everything he can to take advantage of the local community read more

They are amazing. The food is delicious, service with a smile all the time. The atmosphere reminds me of an old fashioned sit down family meal. If you're out and about stop in and give them a try! read more

This place is so cute and unique. The staff was so friendly and fast. Checking on us multiple times. We ordered the meatloaves pizza and I was not disappointed. The crust was incredible. You could tell it was homemade fresh. The edges had like a garlic bread taste to them. It was crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. The center of the pizza where all the toppings were was a thinner crust so a little crunchy which I love. The sauce had a nice fresh taste to it as well. This was a bit on the heavy side and greasy but that's kind of what you ask for on any meatloaves pizza with that much fatty meat but so tasty. I will be going back again for sure next time I visit. read more

Being in real estate isn't always about just sitting at a desk waiting for those commission checks to roll in. Sometimes it can be a day of tromping though knee deep snow to look at property in anticipation of new tenants... especially in the short term rental game. So after property inspections and cold feet, a man needs sustenance! Luckily for me - I had the boss with me and it was a business lunch. With hunger rumbling loud and clear, the boss and I headed over to Rocky's for some world class burgers. After a short look over the menu, both the boss and I chose bacon cheeseburgers. Thick cuts of bacon adorned a half pound patty smothered in cheese. Service was great. Food was hot. Can't ask for anything more. read more

We order pizza to go and it was the thinnest pizza I've ever had!! Very chewy and not lots of flavor.. definitely not for us.. we like thick crust pizza.. read more

Great place for an Alaskan breakfast, great friendly service. Some days you might see a moose grazing across the street, all from your table. Rocky's has a genuine old school cafe appeal. read more

Yummy food and great customer service. The fish and chips and Western Burger are My favorites. read more

Pretty good service and tasty meals. A little pricy but we're in Biden's economy and everything has gone up.

We walk into this cute little cafe. Starving after a long amazing day of fishing. We are greeting at the cash register by a waitress with a frown looking at her watch. ''We close in 50 minutes, everyone is cutting it right on the line today'' hoping we walk out. I would understand if we came in with 10 minutes to spare but 50? No excuse to be rude. We are seated and pick out what we would like immediately to accommodate the not so accommodating waitress. Well the waitress must have been in to much of a rush, because it took a while to take our order. When we went to order they were out of almost everything. She would let us order then happily shoot down our order. If she is trying to get us out of there in time why wouldn't you let us know you are not going to be serving 75% of your menu. After doing the hokie pokie we finally were able to find something they had on the menu. The waitress spent the entire time out food was cooking staring at the cooks and she only gave us our salads a few minutes before our food came out. Which caused yet another delay. Food was better than the service. Calamari - good order that Chicken fried steak - used over salted brown gravy, mash potatoes appear to be boxed potatoes. Carrots appeared to be canned. I didn't hear any complaints about the burger or shrimp basket. As we walked out the waitress made a point to open the door after we left it had closed and scream at the top of her lungs "I'm locking you out!!!!!" After we had given a way to generous tip for her terrible service. "People will never forget the way you made them feel" I will remember this cafe forever for the way they made us feel. read more

We came here for brunch and the food was delicious! We got a few things to share because we couldn't decide what we wanted, everything on the menu seemed so good! The lady that helped us was super sweet too! The whole place was cute and homey, and I hope we can come back sometime! read more

We live in the area and stopped in for take-out. Service was very friendly and food came out quickly. Hamburgers and fries were delicious and we can't wait to go back! read more

I went to breakfast at this restaurant this morning. The food was outstanding! They gave us more food than I could possibly eat and every dish was excellent. Chance was our waitress and she did a fantastic job. I will definitely make this a stop every time I come to Alaska! read more

This is our little restaurant in our 2nd home area. I want it to be awesome. It's decent. Room for improvement for sure. The food is a hit or miss and the poor waitress was super stressed out because she was alone with a few tables. Not her fault but it made the experience less than favorable. Will we go back? Yes, it's just not like "oh hey let's go for a super fun treat and go to Rocky's!". It's more like, "well I'm hungry and I don't want to cook, let's go to Rocky's." read more

Good food! Decently priced for Alaska. Emily is always awesome and will take great care of you!

This is literally THE ONLY place I eat in Soldotna.. Portions BIG.. price small.. service great.. its a tradition! read more

Ordered 3 sandwiches to go: chicken Malibu (awesome) Philly cheese (Awesome) and the chicken bacon ranch (awesome). They were ready in about 15 min. The customer service (at least for a guy with a man-bun apparently) was impeccable. 4 stars and a star for customer service. read more

Rocky's is a nice little spot along the highway, whether traveling through to Homer, or northward to Anchorage. We stopped in on our way south after starting to hear our bellies rumbling. The only ding against Rocky's was the timeliness of their service. We sat ourselves and waited nearly 15 minutes until the waitress was able to take our orders. Nothing against her...she was running all over the place, stretched too thin. Rocky's would benefit from adding another server to the payroll. The food here is as expected. Not a five star restaurant, but not a dive either. Expect greasy food that sticks to your ribs and allows you to make it to your next destination without stopping for food again. If I had the choice, I would drop by again. Pro tip: order the tater tots, not the fries. read more

Not sure where all the glowing reviews come from. The food is ok, bit overpriced, everything fried tastes like fish- if you're allergic to seafood don't eat any of their fried foods. I've been to this place numerous times, the store is great, the restaurant not so much-waitresses are friendly to guys. I watched 2 tables of ladies sit there waiting-they just throw their food on the table & run away! Hardly anybody in the restaurant. They had to get their own silverware, condiments- get their own refills on drinks while waitresses run around offering me free refills and no female gets anything! I saw a couple at a table- she only refilled his drink! Didn't even bothered to acknowledge there's someone else sitting there. So if you're a guy who wants greasy food that tastes like fish- flirt with girls, this would be your place! read more

Normally, my husband and I really love this place; ESPECIALLY the coconut cream pie! We were delighted yesterday when we were told they had coconut cream pie so decided to sit for 2 slices. We were served chocolate cream pie despite there being an entire coconut cream pie (the one with the toasted coconut on top of the whipped cream versus the one we were served that had chocolate shavings on top of the whipped cream) on display in the cabinet. We could not convince our waitress she was serving us chocolate cream pie. She was adamant the pie she was serving was "their coconut cream pie" and that both pies in the cabinet were exactly the same. My husband has a sensitivity to chocolate and we would NOT have ordered pie with chocolate. It was so odd an experience. The delicious coconut cream pie right before our eyes with a server convinced the chocolate cream pie she was serving was the same as coconut cream pie. Their food is good here. The CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE had a cream cheese style base that was very good... It's just not what we ordered. We left confused and for the first time very dissatisfied. read more

Great food and friendly service. Rocky's is a small cafe in the Kasilof area and a popular place in the summer. It's one of the only restaurants in this area close to the Kasilof river. read more

I have been waiting a long time to say this: Rocky's Cafe rocks your face. I was blown away by the changes that have happened at the Kasilof Mercantile. I havent been in there for years because it was kind of a dump. But now? Bright, cheery and looking like the tourist trap/locals pit stop it should be! But lets not confuse that with the restaurant, which I give all credit to. We stopped in here for a bite before fishing. Not only did they have REAL, AUTHENTIC Alaskan cuisine like Caribou (say it: CARE UH BOO) and Salmon, but the menu was so funny that we spent too long reading and had to get one to take with us, just to finish! Written by Rocky himself, the description of the items will have you rolling on the floor, or at least rolling your eyes at the clever puns. I quote: "Swisshroom Burger: Almost as fun to order as it is to eat, this burger's name was created by melting the words swiss and mushroom together. Swisshroom. Swisshroom! Say it fast three times and you sound like an extraterrestrial washing maching battling a jealous chainsaw on a pogo stick for the undying love of an invisible ice maiden from Outer Kentucky. You feel me? Oh, yeah." This just proves the old stoner adage "I get all my best ideas when Im high!" Who could possibly understand food any better? I WILL be back for dessert! read more

Horrible experience. One server and took 10 min to get her tour table. Then ordered two 1/2 orders of biscuits and gravy an 2 eggs a piece. $27.26 for breakfast. And the gravy was luke warm and no taste. The biscuits were packaged and warmed up. Terrible! read more

Great little hidden gem! It doesn't look like anything but a mom and pop dinner on the side of the road but we went here twice in a week we were so happy with the food! The halibet fish and chips were the best we had all week and their pizzas are so good! Smokehouse pizza has to be tried! Little slow service since it is a small place and food takes longer from the kitchen but good solid food and has a convinence store attached if you need other stuff there! The carrot cake is a must as well! Take one home with you! read more

Great service. People here are super friendly and very helpful. Cute, little store with knickknacks and tchotchkes-- exact same souvenirs are a lot less expensive here than some of the tourist traps in the bigger places. Highly recommend stopping by for a quick bite. read more

this place is terrible the food looks and tastes like it straight out of the freezer isle in the store I got food poisoning 4 times from this place I kept coming back every year to see if any improvements were made and the food was still terrible only good thing they serve is the biscuits and gravy read more

Horrible experience, horrible waitress, horrible looks and stares from the locals. From the beginning we entered the diner and the store clerk was very friendly. Sadly that was the one and only friendly face we interacted with for our 30 minute wait. One server, elderly and on the verge of a nervous breakdown any minute immediately upon seeing us yelled about letting her clean tables before sitting down. The server sat us by the door isolated from the rest of the patrons in the restaurant. Locals walked in and we received the most awkward, Un-welcomed and annoyed looks from everyone. After about 15 minutes, we told the server we were ready, and she snapped about how busy she is. Other families walked in and they were seated in the dining area, another worker came out to greet them and explain the menu. Really off putting and odd experience in soldotna. I would never recommend anyone coming here. It seems strictly local only , the type of stuff you see in movies. We left after 42 minutes. No tip. read more

There was a little wait but it was acceptable due to social distancing. Service was very friendly and you could tell she was handling customers and the phone. The corned beef hash was made to perfection and it was a good experience. The eggs were perfect because they actually cooked them as ordered. Will definitely be back again. read more

We stopped for lunch and had two seafood sandwiches. The menu stated crab, shrimp, and provolone. I had mine with fries the best part of the $16.99 meal the grilled cheese sandwich with fake krab, bay shrimp, and a little crab crabmeat was barely edible. I guess truth in menu advertising doesn't exist up here. I figure they had a 18/20% food cost......but the fries were delicious and if they hadn't tossed all the other debris from the fryer in the fries I may have given them 2 however service was good and my buddy said the milkshake was great.....save your money buy something else. read more

This little cafe is off the Sterling Highway and the sign is from the show Northern Exposure. Looks just like Roslyn's cafe. It's tucked inside the gift shop and you seat yourself. It's very clean and the service is friendly. Not super fast so don't eat here if you're in a hurry. But, sit back and relax and enjoy the food. I had a patty melt and it was cooked to perfection and to my picky palate. Golden brown rye bread and a big juicy burger and served with tater tots (bonus). The hubby had Philly Cheesesteak, but it had melted mozzarella instead of the original processed cheese. Not that that is a bad thing though. We then topped it off with huckleberry cheesecake ice cream. Delicious! If you get the chance, stop here and grab a greasy bite to eat. Put the diet on hold. read more

We tried to find you! Really wanted to read your menu but ended up at a vacant lot... I gutless there are no tourists allowed. Update... We found Rockys and loved it for lunch! I had the seafood melt and my hubby had fish & chips!! Fantastic and fresh! read more

My family and I came to Alaska on vacation from Florida, and had our vacation planned out down to the local restaurants we wanted to visit. We walked in at 9:45 am for breakfast, and looking around the place didn't seem very busy as there was no line and open tables. The hostess that greeted us with "how many?"...when I said there were 6 of us, she said "we're full". I was a little surprised by the response and stood there waiting for her to follow up with how long the wait would be, but she repeated the fact that they were full and then said they still have people waiting for their food. Well, yes, I would imagine so...because that's what happens in a restaurant. Why even ask me how many are in my party if you were not taking any more customers. Not to mention, they were open for another 11 hours. So, was it the fact they didn't want to wait in a large party or the fact that we weren't a local. Not sure, but that was extremely disappointing!! read more

Rocky's Cafe is nasty. It's got gross food (especially the pizza) and HORRIBLE service. Everything there is SO slow.
