First time visiting this place, and we were quite pleased! It's a cute diner paying homage to the 50's with its aesthetic. The food was really good. It's exactly what you want with diner food. I got the smoked sausage sandwich and onion rings. The sausage was cooked perfectly, it was juicy and flavorful and had a nice snap when biting into it. The onion rings were delicious and stayed nice and crispy. My partner got the omelette with 4 eggs. It was quite big, and it was also really good. The people were friendly and service was great. Our food came out pretty fast and it was hot and fresh. This diner is located in Irvington, in a less visited area, but definitely deserves a visit. Parking was on the side of the building. Highly recommend Rock-Cola 50s Cafe if you're looking for classic diner food and ambiance!

Adorable diner! It's small, so get there early! Food was great! Our omelettes were filled with all the deliciousness Service was great. Our waitress was kind and attentive. The decor in this place is great! Lots of interesting posters, signs and random decor to look at. We went during lunch hours but we're still able to enjoy breakfast

My husband and I decided to try out this little diner for breakfast today. After locking the address into our GPS, we still managed to miss it once we had arrived. It's really small and inconspicuous. Once we found it, we saw that the parking lot was nearly full and there were 3 open tables and space at the counter available.The young woman who served us was very nice and checked in with us often. The food came out fast and was decent. My husband and I both ordered a Short Breakfast plate, which came with 2 eggs cooked your way, your choice of sausage or bacon, and your choice of toast. We also ordered 2 slices of French toast, a la carte.The eggs were cooked right and the toast was buttery. No complaints there. My issue was with the cleanliness of the place. There was food on the floor beneath our booth and cobwebs covering the dollar bills that decorated the ceiling. As a matter of fact, all of the 1950's memorabilia was dusty and dirty. Also, we were given a huge bottle of creamer that sat on our table the entire time while we ate. This practice doesn't seem very sanitary to me, and it's just a bit unconventional. Sadly, at the end of my meal, I noticed a hair stuck to the inside of my soda cup. Ugh...barf!Despite all of that, this place seems to be a neighborhood favorite, as it was full to capacity when we left with a party that had just walked in sitting down at the table we'd just gotten up from before it could even be cleaned!My husband loves diners and we're on the hunt for a good one, but we won't be making the drive out to this one again...ever.Sidenote: all of the menu pricing has been marked out with nothing displayed or supplied to replace it, so either verbally ask for pricing or order at your own risk!

A fun throwback diner with cool memorabilia. It's small, but there was no wait for a table when we came for breakfast/brunch. The food is diner quality and comes out fast. The hashbrowns are the good shredded potato kind with perfectly crisp edges and a soft middle. Prices are reasonable and staff is fun and fast. The place feels like it could use a good scrubbing and the bathroom is...let's just say that if you can hold it, you should. Otherwise, a fun place to grab a quick bite.

Rock Cola 50's Cafe brings a nostalgic vibe similar to Steer-In, offering great prices and friendly service, though the food options can be slightly basic. One standout item is their chocolate milk--it's absolutely delicious!This place is perfect for hangover food; the comfort offerings really hit the spot when you need something satisfying. Overall, it's a fun spot to enjoy a casual meal and soak in some retro charm!

If you blink while trying to find this spot, you'll miss it but trust me, do not pass it by! This is a greasy spoon, locals only type of spot tucked away on the east side of the 465. There's only a handful of parking spots and tables to match. The decor is what you'd expect given the name. The staff is friendly and the food was quality. We did not try the choc-ola but I hear it's tasty and nostalgic. My mom and I ordered some sandwiches while the kids got chicken and burgers. My mom stated it was one of the better Rubens that she's had and trust me when I say, she's an aficionado.I ordered the mile high club and some fries. I definitely did not need the fries. The sandwich lived up to its moniker.The kids liked their food but adored their milkshakes. So much so they were put down for the count for a bit!Give this place a try if you're looking for some down home, old school eats.

We discovered this gem in 2023 while staying at an Airbnb nearby. We're in town every year to attend the Drum Corps International Championships at Lucas Oil Stadium and are always looking for local restaurants to dine at.This cute little diner does not disappoint! This is a small diner where everyone seems to know your name and has really delicious food! My husband and I each had some of the best hashbrowns we've ever had, absolutely done to perfection. A nice cut of bacon done very well, paired with such a welcoming atmosphere. We're already planning on coming back here in 2025.

We finally made it over to this nostalgic establishment this morning to enjoy Sunday breakfast. We knew this place was going to be good when we pulled into the lot and there were no parking spots available. Plus they look like they haven't had a renovation in 50 years so any place that looks like they're not trying to impress anyone with bells and whistles must be a master of their griddle! Boy, were we right! With only three friendly and welcoming staff coordinating the customer service of the whole restaurant, these folks crank out top notch diner cuisine! Offering such old timey plates as fried bologna sandwiches, malts, and Choc-Cola, they definitely have something for everyone. I opted for the Short Breakfast which was only $6.99! As soon as my plate arrived, I could smell the stick of butter in my Texas toast, and I immediately fell in love with the place! I stole a nibble of my boyfriend's Philly cheesesteak which was a total game changer! This tiny but mighty diner has it figured out! The only snag we could foresee is that the place is very popular and has extremely limited seating so it wouldn't take much to cause a wait, but the neighborhood locals who frequent the place seem to move in and out with precision. Plus the kitchen cranks out plates so fast your head will spin! We'll definitely be back to try about 20 more items on the menu. Highly recommend!

Service: bad. Food: good.First visit today, was taken to task by the elderly server for sitting at the wrong booth. Server's attitude was short, and a real turn off the entire visit. Menus had all the prices blacked out by hand, food was good but served with attitude. First visit and last visit here for me, just being honest, folks
