Michael G.

We loved Rox Diner. Extensive menu that includes all the diner faves, sprinkled with some Jewish and Irish faves too! Moderate prices, excellent table service, and clean bathrooms. Thanks for all that.

This was the kids meal.  Two cheese burgers.  It was awesome.

I love this place. Good food with a friendly staff in a comfortable setting. The thing is that they have really good quality food sourced locally. The menu is extensive for breakfast, brunch or lunch. So many choices. I had the farmers omelette that was delicious. I am sure they pickle their own pickles. The sourdough bread was fabulous as well as the potatoes. I need to go back for lunch. They had a house made vegetarian burger with sweet potatoes and black beans. I get it's the bomb. Good find.

Visiting town from Florida for work and stumbled across this charming diner! The amazing Rebecca was my server and she was fantastic! The 90s r&b jams was the cherry on my sundae. She asked my name from the start and used it the whole time, nice touch Rebecca! I ordered the G.O.A.T and side of fries, simple and perfect! And just get the pancake when she recommends it, you won't regret it I got mine to go for dessert later

French toast and eggs
Tom Y.

it was packed when we walked in, but a couple of two seaters were available, so the host told us to seat ourselves. we had the avocado toast, its different than other avocado toast we had. the toast was on a thin bread and had cheese on top of it. then we had a french toast combo, the scramble eggs seem like it was not from the real eggs, but the carton ones. was a bit disappointed because we wanted real eggs. the French toast was regular bread. it was ok.

The food was good, the service was great, and it was inexpensive. I left there very happy with my pancakes, bacon, eggs, and toast

There's something unsettling yet empowering about dining alone and pushing through the initial awkwardness. I was flanked on each side by two couples who engaged me with delightful conversation all sorts. The barkeeps (one British--Will, one Irish--Adam, addressed me as either 'love' or 'darlin', so I was smitten from the get-go LOL! (Will resembled a young, bearded Jimmy Fallon). The Bees Knees cocktail was delicious alongside the pork schnitzel with apple bacon slaw. Fun fact: they don't serve dessert of any kind, but they sure can make an espresso martini instead! (It was unpretentiously delicious).

A friend recommended this place and we were not disappointed. It was jammed for a Friday night and…read moredespite not having a reservation, the gracious hostess found space for us at a table across from the cooking area. The atmosphere was jovial and not too loud. To the right of the place was the bar area and to the left was the dining area with plenty of seating on both sides. Our waitress gave us the upmost attention and even other waiters talked to us while they waited for their orders. Our drinks were smooth and mixed well. I ate the best vegetable risotto I've ever had as the meal was fresh and hot! The portion size was generous and worth the price. For dessert we shared a warm yummy brownie as they were out of apple crisp. We lucked out with street parking and there was also residential parking. We were confused about parking in the back of the restaurant as we weren't sure if that was actual parking for the restaurant. I would recommend going here if you're looking for a special treat!

I ordered the smash burger with a side Caesar salad and my girlfriend got a salad with crispy chicken and goat cheese. The food was exceptional. My burger was super juicy and I added avocado to it which really enhanced the burger. The Caesar was great too. My girlfriend's salad had a really yummy poppy seed dressing and the citrus from the fruit, nuttiness, and creaminess of the goat cheese really made the salad. What a delicious combo. The crispy chicken was also perfectly cooked. I was waiting impatiently for my girlfriend to finish eating so I could finish her salad, it was that good. I will come back here over and over again!

What a great place in the area for coffee and pastries! I…read morerecently moved to the area and have loved trying everything in the area. I've eyed Recreo for a while and stopped in with a friend to visit, and we were so impressed! We got a pumpkin latte and a lavender matcha, the latter of which is on their summer menu. They knocked both out of the park - so flavorful and delicious! We both tend to prefer sweeter drinks, but we had a perfect balance of flavor with our coffee/matcha. My friend also got a mixed berry scone, which was solid as well but he found it to be a little dry. I would definitely look forward to trying a pastry in the future - I was eyeing their cookies, but wasn't feeling it that morning. I am so happy I live so close and will definitely be back! The baristas were all so kind and personable - in addition to making great drinks, they truly connected with each customer and everyone seemed so happy to be there. We sat inside with all the pollen outside, but the outdoor patio nearby was ADORABLE. Makes sense that it was full when we got there!

No wait, looks like they were just opening for the lunch session and we were able to get seated right away. We ordered the à la carte nuggets ordered by the piece. $0.60/ea piece. The batter was light, chicken tasted fresh. I probably could have used some more seasoning in the nugget batter itself but we opted for the spread of dipping sauces (i forgot how much that was but it wasn't bad). You get to try all their sauces: + chipotle bbq - Smokey tangy i liked it + honey mustard - my lady likes this type dip not I though. +pecorino ranch - this was new to me the pecorino gives it the feta cheese sort of flavor hit. Wasn't my cup of tea personally. + sweet and sour my least favorite + bird bath - hot sauce with flavor still. Doesn't kick you in the face The sandwiches, we ordered a ranch fried chicken and the chedder chipotle bacon burger! Both sandwiches had soft buns. The chicken was crispy and a good portion. The chicken was moist and I'm thankful! The fries were perfectly crispy. The relish and ranch made the sandwich pretty creamy, I hope they do a Nashville hot style or something with a kick as that's more my preference for chicken sandwich. The burger was juicy not overcooked and the flavor profile melted together well! The chedder and chipotle can't really go wrong after slapping some crispy slices of bacon on! Pleasant change of plans would return!
