I have heard many good things about Rolo's but had never tried them until recently. I enjoyed it immensely. It is very reminiscent of the small cafes out in the country where I grew up. That is very hard to find here in town. A few days after I first tried it, I had to come back. Then the very next day I brought my boyfriend along. I have to say not every single thing is perfect, but overall it is a very consistent and good experience every single time. My favorite part is the service. Everyone is always so friendly and the service is impeccable. If you are looking for a simple, down to Earth experience with yummy food and friendly service then this is the place for you!
Such an amazing place! You can truly feel the care that goes into everything here.. from the delicious food to the welcoming atmosphere. The staff is always friendly, and the service is top notch. It’s even more special knowing it’s owned by someone who truly cares about their customers and community. Amazing owner, and staff. Highly recommend!
The staff were very welcoming and accommodating for our reservation of our large group. The food was incredible, particularly the onion rings and fries. Prices were fair. I plan to go again.
This place is so good! Food is fantastic and the team is so welcoming and friendly! Found a new favorite place! The pork chop is incredible!!!
Stopped in for lunch, just wanting to try the place. I had convinced myself in my head that it was an order at the counter rather than sit down restaurant, but it's the latter, not the former. Luckily, I don't mind eating alone. I'd describe Rolo's as a local Cracker Barrel. Lots and lots of generic country cooking dishes are available: meatloaf, chicken and dressing, etc. It's a moderate size restaurant with a fair amount of seating, and it was busy around lunchtime on a Tuesday. Crowd was mostly older folks. One thing I was really impressed with was the service. The hostess got me seated right away, the cashier was pleasant when I payed my bill, and most of all, my waitress, Anita, was so nice and friendly. She took great care of me, bringing me a to-go drink before I even had to ask for it. Loved her! The food, however, was just okay. I guess it was about what you'd expect. I had the chicken fingers, fries, and whole kernel corn, with a roll. Sweet tea to drink. The sweet tea was really good. The French fries were okay, fairly crispy but a little under salted and had a sort of weird greasy aftertaste. The chicken tenders were also okay, but again, kinda bland and stringy, not a ton of meat to them. Lastly, the roll was the Sister Schubert variety (which I don't mind at all, but I really needed more than one tiny carton of butter), and the corn was flavorless but for a faint saltiness. Not sweet at all, sadly. I sound harsh; the food wasn't terrible, and I'd go back to Rolo's if someone I was with wanted to visit. However, my meal was also around 11 bucks, 13 with tip, and I can get much better tenders and fries elsewhere for less -- same with country vegetables. On the whole, just a so-so experience. Big shout-out to Anita, though!
