Don't waste your time or money. While this small cafe has been nicely remodeled following their fire, the staff seems to take for granted their customers, the food quality, and the value of their food.

Let's start with service. We waited over 50 minutes for four sandwiches and a chicken fried steak order. Never were offered drink refills without asking and were only given any silverware if we requested it. They had six staff members working, most of whom stood at the counter and talked to each other.

Okay, now the food. The alligator burger was only $4.25, but was very small. The flavor of the meat was overpowered by the peppers in the mix. The Reuben was good enough and of decent size, but the buffalo burger was very small and not really special in any way.

That leaves value. All I can say here is, do not order any sides. An order of fried green tomatoes is $1.75 and includes two small end slices only. When asked if they missed part of the order the waitress smiled and said no.

Overall, a very disappointing experience. After nearly $45 spent, we had to stop and get food somewhere else. Never leave your customers hungry.

Here's a fine Route 66 Breakfast: chicken-fried steak with gravy, hash browns, and a couple of sunnyside-up eggs. The steak is unique because it is made not from beef, but from a pork cutlet.

Here is a close view of the pork chicken-fried steak. Luscious isn't a luscious-enough word to describe it.

The counter at Rock Cafe affords a good view of the pass-through window to the kitchen. This photo also gives a hint about all the stuff that decorate the wood-paneled walls.

For 67 years, Rock Cafe has been an oasis for travelers along Route 66.

The old interior was a cozy spot to come for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Since the fire, the kitchen has been moved and seating capacity has doubled.

Not to be confused with the Hard Rock Cafe, this place is one-of-a-kind.
