So we returned a year later because we believe in second chances (and hate giving bad reviews). Came for lunch and we each ordered a sandwich. They were both very very tasty. Still a tad pricey for sandwiches and it took a while for them to come out of the kitchen, but it was a MUCH better experience than last time. Also, their fries were completely different from last time and tasted 100x better- no more store-bought taste! read more

Good greasy spoon breakfast with very good flavor in the corn beef hash and chorizo scramble. The hash brown were cooked perfectly. Staff was very friendly. read more

We really enjoyed this little restaurant. We took a weekend trip for for our anniversary and stayed at the Point Arena Lighthouse. Just a short drive down the road, about 2 mi. is the Rollerville Cafe. We had two meals at Rollerville Cafe. Rollerville Cafe is a family run restaurant and the staff are very friendly. On our first trip we were welcomed with a cheerful greeting and seated for lunch. I had Fish and Chips and my gal had a Reubin corned beef sandwich. We shared one another's plates. The Reubin was fantastic. It's corned beef was uniquely spiced and it had a zing to it.it was cooked perfectly, dressed with a unique sauce, and we both loved it. The fish 'n Chips was also excellent. The fish was perfectly cooked, the batter was crisp, and the fries were cooked just right. They served it with a uniquely flavored "coleslaw" that we thoroughly enjoyed. The food arrived at our table piping hot. We were so impressed we went back the next morning and had breakfast. I had the Corned Beef Hash and Eggs my gal had a Spinach, Mushroom, Onion and Bacon omelette, with a cheese on top. I think the corned beef was ground too fine and very unfortunately, it caused it to taste far less palatable that the corned beef on the sandwich the day before. I was disappointed. It was 'okay'. The eggs were cooked to perfection and the toast was good too. The Omelette was very good with the vegetables sauteed and folded into the center. It was light and fluffy. Overall the breakfast was good with one disappointment. We enjoyed the Rollerville Cafe. We'll revisit next time we are in the area. We recommend it as a place that has inventive and unique flavor signatures, created by people who are very interested in culinary exploration, They have a friendly staff, and if you are traveling nearby, we suggest you stop in and give it a try. read more

Great little place tucked away on the road to the Point Arena Lighthouse. It street of struck me as a "hole in the wall" when I first walked in, but the staff was very friendly, and the food was awesome! From the Frickles (fried pickles) appetizer, to the fish tacos the food and service were outstanding. I would recommend this place to anyone traveling down Hwy 1. read more

3 stars for food 4 stars for service! Very attentive staff, small restaurant (big parties might have to wait or sit outside if weather permits). I've been here for breakfast only- locals come here for mainly the service. The food is your average diner fare. This last time I had their biscuits and gravy- biscuits are cakey and fluffy...gravy is very flavorful. Just sits in your belly like a ton of bricks.....but still very tasty. Kid1 loved his pork chop breakfast...kid2 said her french toast was very good (big servings!). Lover likes chicken fried steak at Meza Grill better but still orders it from here because the servings are so big. Locals say this city is considered Manchester...but address is in Point Arena. There are bungalos here for passer-bys.....close trip to the lighthouse. All in all, a good place to eat. Based on the service and serving sizes alone! I'll add more when I can get here for lunch.... read more

We used one of our timeshare weeks at the Point Arena Lighthouse Point cottages and the Rollerville Cafe is right there. This place is a surprising treasure location and is an unexpected culinary adventure in a remote location. The cafe is walking distance from our cabin and it was wonderful. We had the steak and my wife had the fish tacos. Both excellent dishes.. I think the term Cafe can be changed to Bistro in the case of this place. If you are in the area, you cannot miss this place. Plus its the closest cafe to Hawaii on the coast! read more

Headed in here with my girl on a stormy, windy Monday noon in mid-Feb. Had clam chowdah, fish n chips, and the Captain's platter. Chowdah very tasty with notable bacon contribution, clams seemed to be fresh. Mains: Both were very good, the fish freshly battered and fried. Calamari on the Captain's was very tender and tasty. They offer malt vinegar in addition to the usual tartar sauce and shrimp-cocktail-like sauce. Nice to have the choice! Interesting take on coleslaw - Asian flavors thanks to toasted sesame oil and mirin or rice vinegar plus black sesame seeds. Not bad at all! Service is friendly and fairly attentive. If you want a good burger and/or nicely battered/fried seafood, a good choice in the Pt Arena area. read more

Good stop on Hwy 1. We had breakfast around 9 am. It was busy and very quaint. The inside seating area is small so you might have to wait. Worth it! Loved the food and the service was quick and super nice. We had classic eggs--- everything you want in a roadside cafe. read more

Rollerville Cafe - Right next to the resort. - American Near Me - Point Arena, California

As a hamburger connoisseur, I have high standards for this traditional American delectable. Hands down, one of the best burgers that I have consumed in recent memory. Hamburger nirvana! As a family run business, it was the next best thing to have a fresh burger delivered to you from a backyard BBQ. So glad we took the time to stop after our visit to the lighthouse. read more

It's pretty frustrating that you won't answer the phone and you tell customers to leave a message but no one gets back to you. So much for placing orders to go. read more

Flys, cobwebs, dirty table, soap residue in water glass. waitress who is also the owner never smiled, never welcomed us, never acknowledged our thanks. Food is too expensive. I grabbed the ketchup bottle and my hand became covered in someone else's slimmy food. When my biscuits and gravy came, they were cold, the gravy was more like a glue paste, the biscuits were hard. The sausage in My husbands omelette was clearly frozen, leftover sausage patties. Discusting. This was the 3rd chance I gave this place. Every time has been the same experience. I watched a couple walk out on their food during my first experience. read more

One of the best breakfasts I've ever had in my life. I grew up in a bed and breakfast that makes great food, and this place beats it. Wonderful and friendly service. That 'family business' vibe that I just love. Eat here, don't think twice. Careful, massive amounts of food will be placed in front. Bring a hammock to nap in after. read more

We just love the Rollerville Cafe....and visit every time were in the area...Excellent Breakfasts....Unbelievable fresh Burgers!!! and plenty of friendly Folks!!! Fish n Chips and Seafood are excellent too!!! read more

We enjoyed this cafe for breakfast twice during our time in the Gualala area. The time from when we placed our order to when the food arrived was slow and the meals are on the pricey side, but neither would deter us from coming back on our next trip. The staff was friendly, food portions are very good and what we are was really tasty. If you're here and have time, stop at the nearby lighthouse. It provides some seriously beautiful views. read more

Great stuff but every time I've been there it takes at least 30-45 minutes to get my food. Which for a sandwich and salad is ridiculous. read more

Breakfast was above average - nothing special. Pancakes were really thick if you like that kind of thing, but also a little burnt. Kids weren't big on the flattened out sausage! Location is perfect for a visit to the lighthouse though, which was really fun! Good for a stop if you are pairing up with the lighthouse. read more

The staff is very nice, very helpful, the restaurant is quaint and humble, but the seafood is quite good. I got the seafood platter and the prawns and cod were excellent. The fries were excellent and the cole slaw was good too. Portions were generous. Would definitely recommend. read more

Try the Frickles!! Deep Fried Crispy Pickles with dippin sauces! They also have killer sandwiches, and excellent desserts. Sometimes things can get a bit salty so be sure to wash it all down with extra water! read more

We stopped here on the way to the bay area. This place is really quiet and looks like it's family run. The ambience is very casual and the food is good. Although a little pricey, they pack in a lot of meat for the buck. We ordered orange juice, veggie sandwich and a tuna sandwich. The Tuna S/w was very meaty and filling, will definitely try other stuff if I ever cross them again. read more

Every time I travel to this area to visit family, I have to eat here. Rollerville Cafe is, easily, my all time fav place to eat. The food is amazing, the staff is friendly and attentive and you certainly can't beat the view. For me, what I look forward or is their breakfast. Their hash browns are incredibly delicious and unique - I have never had any that compare. If you're anywhere in the vicinity of Rollerville Cafe, make this delicious destination part of your journey. You will not be disappointed. read more

Food is great. However service is kind of strange. I got the feeling that the owner lady does not like me, but for the life of me cannot think of any reason that I pissed her off. Well, May be just not my day. read more

Had a much needed yummy lunch here after a hike. Food was very good and we had great service! Very accommodating to us and our fur baby eating outside on a beautiful sunny day! read more

Delicious breakfasts. Many choices. Lots of good food!!! Don't miss this place on the way to Mendocino.

First impression not so good. No ice cream when we wanted a shake. Got a burger a couple nights after that was completely raw. Ordered a shake and the cup was small and filled 3/4 way full and a lot of whipped cream. It's $6.50! When I called her in it she became a not nice person and my daughter saw her give me a nasty look. Not a lot of restaurants around so we went back. I had the most amazing Reuben sandwich. I guess I have a love hate relationship with this place. read more

Looking for seafood and trying to find somewhere open on our way from Bodega to Fort Bragg. Great food here and easy in and out for our take out lunch. Loved my Fish & Chips, hubby loved his Baja Fish Tacos. All around pleasant experience. read more

We went for lunch- the milkshakes were the one redeeming part of our meal- they were the bomb! The rest was just ok, I expected much better for the price. read more

Stayed at the resort for the weekend. The breakfast was really good. Best part was the biscuit & gravy, it was delicious. Pretty sure it was hamburger gravy, but it had a rich full flavor. Dinner was frickles, fried pickle, they were OK, if you like fried breading. The dipping sauces were good. Had prime rib, it was overlooked, but a great au jus made up for that. Rosemary mashed potatoes were tasty, used the au jus for gravy. Service overall was passable, two young ladies were working their butts off. read more

Amazing chicken fried steak breakfast. Nice staff too. Awesome place and we'll definitely be back!

Best Biscuits and Gtavy in Northern Ca. Very friendly staff. I a Veey Cute family Orienteted restaurant. I definitely recommend stopping by and having a bite to eat when your in Point Arena. read more

So adorable and one of the best breakfasts I've had in a long time. The Chicken Fried Steak, French Toast and Pancakes - all yum! Friendly waitstaff. Definitely worth a stop. read more

Stopped in for a quick breakfast while on a motorcycle trip down Highway 1/Pacific Coast Highway. If you have the chance to stop here, DO IT...you won't regret it! Absolutely awesome food! Probably the BEST corned-beef hash I've ever had. Friendly and swift staff, quaint little place. I'll definitely stop here again! read more

Rollerville Cafe - American Near Me - Point Arena, California

Stayed at the Point Arena Lighthouse lodge for three nights, and ate here the morning we left. I wish we would have tried it out, earlier. We were there for breakfast at 11 a.m., and the waitress was extremely friendly, efficient, and professional, all while handling multiple tables. We never had to wait for anything or chase her down. She was completely on top of it. For breakfast, we both had one of the specials, which was the chipmunk omelette. Basically, it was the monkey omelette with chicken apple sausage added, and it was DELICIOUS, not to mention it was large enough to feed at least two people, maybe three. The hash browns that came with it were even tastier and hands down the best I've ever had, and I'm fairly picky about my hash browns. Will certainly be back here on the next trip up Pacific Coast Highway. read more

We had breakfast here on a Sunday. It wasn't full but still lots of customers. Service was swift and friendly. But unfortunately the food wasn't that great. The eggs and bacon tasted good, but i guess you can't really screw that up. But seriously, the pancakes are terrible. They taste like breakfast at a very heap motel - like cardboard. I'm not sure how it is possible to produce pancakes that bad - but this place succeeded. read more

Rollerville cafe is awesome. The fish tacos rock. Excellent burgers. Always consistent. The staff & owners are always super friendly. Very homey atmosphere. Love this place. Definitely recommend eating here. Thanks guys. Xoxo. Nikki Piper read more

We spent the weekend at Manchester KOA which was awesome and had breakfast here, for the 2nd time and once again it was excellent!! I would recommend this place to anyone cruzing up or down hwy 1 read more

The food is amazing, from scratch. Great Benny crab cakes, awesome chicken fried steak with perfect gravy. Awesome burgers. Homemade blueberry pie was the best pie ever, perfect crust. Family owned. One daughter takes care of the pies, one son cooks the bennies and makes the amazing gravy. Great find. Very friendly. I normally do not eat at mainly one restaurant when traveling, love to try other eateries, but every dish was great. read more

Exceeded expectations! We ate here for lunch and breakfast the following day. Both times we had great service and great food! The side salad had crisp, fresh veggies and my Reuben was huge and delicious. It's sometimes rare to find a small restaurant with such good ingredients and unique menu items. I would highly recommend making this a stop along the coast! read more

The Rollerville Cafe looks risky, like you might get something cool, but you also might get grossed out. Even though I've only been there this once, I think you'll get something cool. My husband and I were visiting Mendocino County this weekend and went to the Pt. Arena area for lots of walking on the coast. Pt. Arena is a very small town and on a Sunday, not much seemed to be open or going on. We had driven past the Rollerville Cafe in search of something in town, but finding nothing appealing, we circled back. And I'm sure glad we did. Now, I'm not a a professional cook or a food critic, but I love a good burger and know one when I get one. Living in the land of foodies in Berkeley, one would assume that having a really good burger would be an every day feat--not so, unless you have burgers at my house. There are many places there that tout excellent burgers, but they do not actually have them. Feel free to check this out for yourself. Here at the Rollerville Cafe, however, they serve the best burger this side of north Oakland, and perhaps even farther south, one that is the closest to the burgers served at my house. The special burger on the menu is the Nelly burger---hamburger, apples, rosemary, garlic, onions. Big yum. I was debating whether to play it safe with a veggie burger or be daring with the Nelly burger when I asked the woman waiting on us for her opinion. Low and behold, it was Nelly herself, the inventor of the Nelly burger! Thank you, Nelly, for being there. Not only was it very tasty, it was huge, and moist, even though I asked for it "medium", something I would not do if I knew the restaurant--I am a medium rare burger eater. And the fries that came with it were the combo of freshly fried crunchy, fatty, starchy goodness one wishes for in fries. My husband got the fish and chips, with no chips but an extra large helping of the slaw. The fish was also very freshly fried, big chunks of cod (or whatever passes as cod these days). The slaw was an Asian-style sweet slaw with sesame oil. All yum. The ambience is decidedly low-key, but clean and friendly. I recommend that you walk all over the Mendocino coast, then sidle up to the Rollerville for a big plateful of goodness. Warning, you'll need another walk afterward. read more

Friendly and prompt service at the Rollerville cafe. We were heading home for a quick camping trip and wanted to grab lunch. We shared a chai milkshake (yummy!) and got a couple of sandwich plates with fries. Everything was tasty. Good, typical cafe food. A good bet if you are traveling up the coast and want a spot for a quick lunch. read more

A step back in time. A small wallpapered restaurant/cafe stating "last cafe till Hawaii" or "first cafe from Hawaii." On our way back from the Point Arena lighthouse, we stopped in at the menu changeover point from Breakfast to Lunch. We watched 2 very hard working employees take orders, serve and check into each and every table (inside and outside) to make sure that everyone in the busy dining room needs were met. As busy as the staff was - they were so pleasant and courteous. We were given the choice of ordering from either the Breakfast or Lunch menu. We chose Lunch and ordered sandwiches that came with fries. The BLT and Grilled Cheese with Bacon each had a half pound of Bacon on them - no skimping here. We were so happy with our choice. When in the area - stop in - I don't think you will be disappointed. read more
