Rocky's

This little diner is a staple in Bloomfield's Little Italy.No frills design and decor as you'd expect a good diner to be. Though it does remind me a bit of a residential kitchen/dining area of the early 80s. It's clean and comfortable.The food is good and solid diner fare at reasonable prices:Eggs, toast, home fries and choice of meat for $4.99. Add a beverage and special is then $7.49.Great way to fill up for the day.Cheap and good doesn't get any better.

Rocky is the man. My dad and I used to eat here once a month while getting a haircut at Cercone's barbershop up the street. It was our tradition from about 1999-2004. I came back last year and rocky was still behind the counter serving up food the same way as always. It's home cooking with no frills. It's just downright good and hearty food.

Cash onlyYou'd never find this place if you weren't looking for it - a tiny little diner near the hospital. Their hours are somewhat erratic, I believe they're closed Fridays and only open until 1 on Saturday. Upon entering you're greeted with a prominent view of the kitchen(One guy cooking on what appears to be a standard stove), a breakfast bar that seats about 15, and about 10 tables that could seat 2-4. We sat ourselves at one of the few open tables, the people inside were a few senior couples, one lone older man at the counter, and a young couple. Just about everyone seemed to be a regular and know each other by name. Their menu lists breakfast and lunch, with most of their 'a la carte' breakfast items being a few bucks each, and their breakfast plates being about $5. I got an egg sandwich with homefries and coffee for $5, my girlfriend got 2 eggs with toast, homefries, and juice for $6. My girlfriend asked if instead of meat she could get cheese and the eggs scrambled. When the waitress took the order back the guy behind the counter started at the slip in a "what the hell?" kind of way but didn't complain.Our food arrived in less than 5 minutes, a large plate which had a sizable amount of food on it considering the price, and very few frills. Our coffee was kept full and our order was correct, no items having been forgotten. None of the food was notably good, but it was all tasty and had a "homecooked"("rustic"?) feel to it. Also, bonus points that the eggs and homefries we were served were not dripping in industrial butter-like oil.A point worth noting is that while our waitress was very nice to us, it appears they are happy to tell it to you like it is, telling and older man who seemed to be a regular after quite a bit of chit-chat that if he couldn't finish his meal by 1pm then he ought to not bother ordering. For $11 and a tip we got a 2 decently sized breakfasts, juice, coffee, and extremely quick service. $6 is about as expensive as anything in there is, so I'm sure we'll be in here on many weekend mornings in the future.

Your typical greasy spoon. The hours are a bit odd; another yelper called them erratic, which is a perfect description. I have seen this place for years and I think I've seen it open all of twice, today being one of those times. It's also very small and manned by Rocky himself, who does all the cooking, so even though its small there can be a wait if the tables are full. They are only open for breakfast, so the menu is limited. Just eggs, omelets and pancakes mostly. The most expensive thing on the menu was $6.99 and you get a very large portion, so it's definitely affordable. Like I said, your typical frill-less greasy spoon.*the Yelp header describes it as Italian, Mexican and Sandwiches (????) which is grossly inaccurate, so please don't try to go there for pasta or tacos

Rocky's is the kind of place my family loves, and I look at them like they are crazy. Extremely greasy, divey joints are not my thing. At all. But they dragged me here one Saturday morning, and Rocky's is what it is. No frills divey breakfast.Exceptionally greasy food makes me ill, and Rocky's succeeded at doing that. I don't eat potatoes, and every breakfast meal option came with potatoes. There is no variety, the menu has 10 things tops. To top that off, they were out of a lot of things. But you know what? Where else can you go for breakfast and eat for around $5 per person including a drink?No bathrooms. They must be grandfathered in, or they are just running a super illegal business. Either way, when you are feeling violently ill after eating a meal here or just need to pee from drinking coffee, you'll be miserable, if you are like me.Why three stars? Because my dad is watching me type this and told me that I couldn't give them two. So for my dad and the cheap prices, three stars. Bring your family members ages 50+ here. They'll appreciate it.

This is a great little breakfast nook in Bloomfield! The prices for their classic American meals were reasonable, and the food was good! This restaurant area is small, and the menu is typical American breakfast food. Not many staff members, and a cash only restaurant.

Breakfast is good but the service is a little lacking in the friendly area. Server and cook were both iffy with their attitudes.. it almost seemed as if neither wanted to be there.

I heard that "The Earth without Art is just Eh."Well there is no art in this cooking but it is cheap and a "real" neighborhood experience. I eat here every once in a while and though I wouldn't recommend it to people, I would bring them there with me.These people have been here forever and when they run out of something they simply tell you "nope". When they run out of lot of things... they close.I hope they are here forever and ever.

hmmm rocky? are you only open now on weekends? id like to try out your breakfast...heard it was a lil greasy spoon which is fin me

Good cheap eats. Fast, friendly service too. My favorite place to get breakfast on the weekend! Just a heads up: it's cash only but they have an ATM on site.
