Rockwell's Bakery, Cafe & Bar

Been there 2 times now, not disappointed, loved it both times. Eventually I'm gonna order something that's not breakfast related

I hail from Massachusetts so when I saw the Mass road signs, Fenway Park memorabilia, and Boston skyline mural - of course I had to check in. Was hoping to see some New England dishes, but nah, just regular diner food. The meatball sub - just ok. Pretty spicy and not so beefy tasting. I'll try this place another time. Hopefully I'll get something more tasty off the menu.

I visited this location twice. The first time last days of Feb, and second a few days ago. About a week apart. Location: located at the southern most end of San Clemente Outlets, off Vista Hermosa, where parking is plenty and the patio vibes are awesome. If its cold, they have outdoor heaters to allow you to warm up while you eat and enjoy the views. Service: the first time I went I asked if there was any discount if one was a member of their rewards program through SC outlets. I was told no. I didn't want to argue since something didn't seem right with that information and I couldn't pull it up on my phone to prove otherwise. I went to the VIP lounge/Customer Service reception asked for a print out and sure enough there was. 15% not including alcohol and other promotions. So, I went back the second time, asked to speak to the manager Receipt in hand and had a discussion. Im not complaining just stating facts. He agreed that its a training issue that should be addressed throughout and said he wouldn't be able to refund the $5.08 cents I was owed until he could speak to Chandler the owners daughter, which I would appreciate back. He did offer to replace the meal, which I appreciated but said I would be happy to pay for. Im not looking for a handout, just to make sure fair business practices are done and not have patrons be denied what is printed on the catalogue. Im still waiting for the call back. Jamie, offered a meal and I accepted. Which was appreciatedFood:was subpar and lacked taste. The fries were cold, and the sandwich subpar. After all this, im going to skip it moving forward. There are other options in the area.

This was my first time coming here. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the decor they have. Everyone was extremely friendly however it did take us closer to 45 minutes to receive our food. Regardless when it got here the food was delicious! The chilaquiles had a lot of egg and I asked for the black beans on the side. It had a good portion of salsa and they provided all the different brand bottled sauces too. The chilaquiles were GOOD! The salsa is everything. I appreciate that they added some avocado. I usually have to order it as an add on. I will definitely be coming back to try other stuff!

Ok each time I go here the service is just served with the biggest smile and the best mood, if I'm a little grumpy before having my coffee this place will turn that frown upside down! I also got my son's birthday cake here- they definitely do it right with the authentic German chocolate cake.

My mom and I stopped here to have breakfas.i recommend this I recommend this restaurant. They have a great variety on there

All the food was great. We ordered chicken pot pie, fried chicken steak type meal with gravy and Rockwell"s chicken sandwich. Service was great too.

This is the 4th time I've been here since this restaurant opened at San Clemente. I'm finally ready to provide a review.Food: it used to be good prior to the pandemic, but now I think the quality has gone down some. We ordered the ahi salad and an omelette. The ahi was not good; It did not taste fresh. It was really one of the not-so-yummy salads I've had in a long time. The other dish we ordered was an omelette. The eggs were over-cooked and the meats were on the dry side. The cheese was non-existent. After our meal, we were going to pick up some bake goods until a bug was spotted sitting on top of the bakery item we were going to purchase. No bueno! Overall, the food quality was not as good as it use to be years ago, sadly. Service: it's a mixed bag. It used to be terrific but the last 2 times we were there were... meh. I think if you sit indoors, you may have better service because the staff can see you better (at least based on my past experience). Ambience: surprisingly, it was not lively as it use to be. There was a sports game on TV in the bar area, but it was not busy as I thought it would be. It can get noisy indoors as the floors are concrete and the sounds will bounce off the floors and high ceilings. Outdoor seating is plentiful and can be nice on a warm day. The only negative about the outdoor dining experience is that the floors are not swept often. Under various tables, there were packets of sugar, plastic containers of jam, food items, straws, etc all over the floor. Perhaps it was just my observation during the hour I was dining there? I drove 30-minutes to this restaurant hoping that it was as good as is use to be, since the pandemic is behind us. However, I'm not sure I will come back again, based on my last 2 dining experience here.

Special menu item!! PRIME RIB, eggs, bacon and potatoes. Only served by Tammi while South OC Cars & Coffee aka Cars & Bloodies!! Enjoy A+A+A+

Came here with our dog and sat outside. It does not have the same vibe as the Villa Park location, not by a long shot. Very empty and not a lot that sets them apart from the other restaurants in the area. Our waiter was very pleasant and the food pretty good. It took about 25min for our food to come out. They have dog bows with water and heaters on their patio.
