Been twice for breakfast. Both times bacon cold and hard. Potatoes supposed to be grilled, wrong, boiled and seasoning salt on them. Much nicer places to eat.
Had an extremely satisfying club sandwich and sweet potato fries with spicy mayo today with good hot coffee on the last motorcycle ride of the season for me. Destination diner and friendly faces.
Excellent schnitzel, pr-Covid prices, great service. Wine 6.5$ a glass, sandwiches less than 10$…schnitzel around $20.
"I had a fantastic experience at Rockford Family Restaurant! The place is spotless, including the washrooms, which were impressively clean. The service was top-notch—our server, a very polite and quick young lady Amanda, made sure everything was taken care of. The portions were generous, and every dish we tried was absolutely delicious. If you're looking for a welcoming, family-friendly spot with great food, this is it. Highly recommend!"
Excellent breakfast. I had the scrambled eggs with bacon, deep-fried hashbrowns and white toast. It can be a busy place, as tables started to fill up quickly after we arrived. Service was pretty good. Will be back!
Home-made food, good and not expensive, great service always.
Excellent service, always clean and friendly staff! We love visiting here when up north! During the summer months it gets quite busy but during the winter months it’s calm. Lemon Schnitzel with mashed potatoes and gravy is a must here! Absolutely love the root vegetables that come with the meal. Everything is cooked to perfection, tender with amazing flavours! Always look forward to returning.
Schnitzel for breakfast is always a great option. It was tender and nicely breaded. Breakfast is ok. Nice having the grilled veggie side option. Service could be better but I do understand we went at a busier time. It would be worth going back for their apple pie. The pie would've been even better if warmed up but that option was not offered. It was taken directly from the fridge and served on the plate. They were so busy I didn't bother asking.
Had this food many times...usually eat in..this time I ordered out..asked for plain schnitzel and lemon on the side ...had fried onions and gravy on it....also second order was chicken prom...noodles where not cooked enough...service was friendly...meal was a 4 star only because the mix-up and noddles ..but will not keep me from ordering here again....Cheers
Always a great breakfast and great service!
2023 03 21 Eggs benny was good and my wife had the hot beef which was good too. Food
Quaint restaurant with great homestyle food and excellent small town service.
Had a wonderful Jaeger schnitzel there service was excellent and staff were very helpful and friendly, would highly recommend.
Great food. Friendly staff. Affordable family dining.
My sister treated me to birthday dinner at Rockford Diner and having grown up in Owen Sound Im ashamed to admit that was my first visit. It certainly wont be my last in fact Im returning for lunch this weekend I enjoyed everything about this restaurant
Family stopped here for lunch. Amazing meal. Pies were to die for.
First and last time. Had a Rueben sandwich that had 3 sliced pieces of meet. Can t say how dissatisfied I am.
Always good food always fast service and prices are very reasonable and affordable easy to keep u coming back Dietary restrictions: My mom is on a renal diet and they give her whatever she feels that she can eat that day for a side. Parking: Large parking lot
Best food! Prices and amazing and the staff was so friendly. Will definitely go back
Quick, friendly service and reliably delicious food - special shout-out to the bacon!
Amazing food, wonderful service, great prices. I only wish this place was closer to my home so I could eat here more often! Highly recommend!!
Best Schnitzel this side of Munich! Friendly and efficient wait staff. Picnic tables added for outdoor dining if you like. Food
Breakfast skillet is amazing. Good coffee and service.
A wonderful surprise stop on our travels. Very delicious schnitzel
Very busy place. Food is delicious. Well worth the trip. Was highly recommended and did not disappoint
Our waitress was the sweetest and don t get me started on how AWESOME the food was. We are recommending it to friends heading up to Owen Sound!! Great job!
Service with a smile! And enjoyed every last bite.
Great service, fair price and tasty vegetables with the schnitzel plates. Happy we stopped. Kid-friendliness: Crayons and colouring book was offered.
the bus
Food was really good. Very crowded and lots of loud. Food
Cute little place on the way up to the cottage
Nice place for a filling and hearty meal in cottage country. Very reasonable prices. Large portions
Great food. Even better prices
First time stopping here. Got an order of take out fries for $10. medium sized container one-third full. I have seen larger child sizes. Better value elsewhere
outstanding hamburgers!
The staff was welcoming and friendly.
Im giving a 3 star, is for this reason. We ordered a hot roast beef and asked for it to be a closed face Instead of an open one, and asked for horseradish as well. The server didnt mention that there is an additional $1.50 per slice of bread and 75 cents for the horseradish,not that it adds up to much but I would think its their job to at LEAST mention it to the paying customer!! I also noticed that the servers where wearing open toes sandles ( doesnt look professional) I didnt tip as the added cost for the bread and horseradish took care of what I was prepared to leave for a tip. Food is great but the service was horrible this time, kettles will get my business next!!!!!
The kids loved it! Great food and wonderful service.
I had the greek schnitzel, very good. My wife had Yager mister schnitzel, the sauce on hers was kind of bland.
It was always a great time and awesome food from Rockford Restaurant. The service was excellent and the food was great. We always bring our friends and family out there when they are visiting us.
Good food. Great service with a smile. Fair prices and if I didnt mention it, Good food...
Great!
We live really close and have had these folks feed our family way too many times since we moved here last summer. Always great service from great people. Ive tried most of the menu and have never been disappointed.
Excellent food! I had the Rockford Skillet for breakfast and it did not disappoint. The ladies all have a smile on their face and the customer service is top notch!
Excellent
Great food
Great food and great service!!!
Good food at a reasonable price
Home-cooked delicious food.
Great small town restaurant. Food was good and service was fantastic. Overheard another customer complaining about their meal at checkout and the way it was handled by staff was very well done. Kudos to that server. I will for sure be stopping in anytime Im in the area. Thanks
1st time here, great little place. Good food, great soups!
We ve eaten here a few times! Great burgers and salads! Awesome for bennies!
Had the Rockford Skillet this morning for breakfast and it was sooo good! The service was good. They had a system in place where you wait in your call and they tell you when the table is ready so no one lets all the cold air in. Fairly priced too! It was pretty busy when we went and none of our waiting time felt too long.
Great food. Had the Greek Schnitzel. Great service as well.
Rude Staff, Took forever to come to see if everything was OK. Coconut pie was the worst I have ever had. Was told that everyone loved their pies. First lesson that they need to learn is to respect their Elders. Do yourself a favour bypass this restaurant and stop at Kettles where the pies are delicious and the staff is very warm and friendly.
Great spot, well attended
Ithe best breakfast restaurant
Great food decent prices. Busy place
The BEST breakfast in town. Always consistent. Always delicious, speed of service. Theyre always busy, but everything is always fresh. Staff is always friendly. Eggs Benedict is my favourite & its never a let down.
We have been trying all of the restaurants near and in Owen Sound and Rockford Restaurant is a must! The food is delicious and Kiera, our server made our experience a fun one!
Great breakfast with lovely service. Coffee is wonderful
The menu has changed since we were last here. Not enough choices, but what you get is very good. Staff is very friendly. Prices a good. Very clean in restaurant. Would go back again.
The best old school breakfast spot and for an affordable price. The corner restaurant inflation never hit! Photo is the Jaegar Schnitzel with mash and veg.
We have stopped here twice for schnitzel, both times the service was great, and the food was terrific. Its nice to go to a place that is well staffed, it gives the employees a chance to excell at their jobs, everyone who works here seems happy and very friendly. The food is a good price, so take the opportunity to tip generously they deserve it
Excellent service and very fast
Food was delicious as always, hot and fresh. Veggies were root vegetables and what a treat. Server was pleasant and attentive.
My favourite place to get breakfast. Friendly staff. The food comes very quickly. I always get bacon and eggs and it is the best. Super affordable. It is sometimes busy but that is because it is just so great. Parking: There are plenty of parking spots around the restaurant off of the highway. Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu Wheelchair accessibility: All one level, There are no stairs.
Always a good breakfast. Often come here for work meetings. The service is great and are always accomdating of our larger groups
Great little spot out in the countryside. Delicious fries!
We stopped on our way to Tobermory to grab lunch. Good options with all day breakfast. I got the honey garlic chicken wrap with onion rings. The rings were outstanding. My friends got chicken quesadillas with fries, eggs Benedict and pork schnitzel sandwich. Portion sizes are quite big. Fries could be improved. They were quite full but turnaround was very quick and service was very friendly.
Very slow to get food. Only to servires runnin dinner shift.
Just had breakfast.....delicious. Everything was the way I wanted it. See you folks next weekend.
My first time and I had liver and onions, it was great. Would recommend it.
Great food and nice staff. Convenient location.
Good home-cooked food. Large portions
Had the Rockford Skillet. It was delicious! Lots of meat. Served quite hot, which is a good thing!
The waitress was extremely rude, she seemed like she couldn t handle the crowd and had her outburst at me for no reason. I didnt expect a good service but I didn t expect someone talking to me like the way she did in a very condescending way & being racist.
Great folks. Treated me awesome.
We have eaten here several times and always enjoyed our meals.
Good, friendly service. There were 4 in our party. We had breakfast. The eggs were cooked perfectly and pancakes were good too. I had the skillet, which was very good and filled the plate. Youll leave here feeling as though you got your monies worth.
What a great place to eat. You get a plate full of food and the prices are great.
Go almost every Sunday for Breakfast. Service is fast but you dont feel rushed. Staff always smiling.
The table was a little wobbly. That s the only problem. Everything was FANTASTIC! I had the delicious turkey and homemade vegetables.
Good breakfast and lunch . Friendly staff.
Delicious food and friendly staff, highly recommend! The schitzel is delicious
Great food great service
Great food and service. The Eggs Benedict were recommended to me by a friend and they didnt disappoint. Sooo good! A great place to meet friends and relax.
Best coffee and sweet potato fries were awesome.
We got Schnitzel sandwiches. I thought that they were good. My partner expected the meat to be breaded so she was a bit disappointed. It was service with a smile despite the fact that we werent locals, of which there was an abundance. They all seemed to be having a good time.
Amanda was very helpful and quick with our order. Super service! Thanks so much Amanda, would recommend to everyone!!!
This restaurant has very hard working staff that go over the top for service. The food is well priced and has been delicious every time I ve been here. Definitely a good place to grab some grub. Vegetarian options: They switched out bacon for a fruit plate which was really nice!
Excellent experience this morning, a nod to our Hostess Amanda who in which was exemplary, greeting us with a smile and ensuring our time at the establishment was welcoming, comfortable, and accommodating. Our group thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We will return! A thank you again to the Staff for helping us start our day with a smile!
I cant understand why the restaurant reviews here are good. Today I had a very uplifting experience. From a middle-aged waitress with blondie hair.. The woman was very unfriendly and rude from the time I ordered, but when I asked for a napkin, she brought one and threw it away. This is the first time in my life to experience this. It was a very irritating and upsetting experience. please dont go to this restaurant.
Absolutely love this place. Best eggs Benny in the OS area. Great serving sizes for a good price. We dont go out to restaurants alot but when we do we pick this one more often then not
Always GREAT food at reasonable prices, with the most friendly staff. Never had a bad meal!
The schnitzel is awesome here. I could go back every day
Best poutine I ve ever had. Service was perfect. Food was amazing. We had the honey garlic chicken wrap, the chicken Cesar wrap, poutine and apple crumble. All 10/10. The poutine changed my life. It was too perfect - the gravy, the fries, the proportions of everything. I love the cook who made it. This is also the first restaurant I ve seen who put the croutons in my chicken Cesar wrap without me asking. In my opinion that is the only correct way to have a chicken Cesar wrap so I love them even more. All around amazing
Absolutely deserves a 5!! Great food at a very reasonable price! Worth wondering off the beaten path.
Loved it. Deb needs to bring back the snitzel cordon blue
Excellent as always
Their schnitzel is legendary, the chick Caesar wrap comes highly recommended Parking: Lots of parking, place gets busy though Food : 5/5 |
The staff is very rude and unprofessional. Didn t look us in the eye and talked rudely, part of which felt like it was due to our colour. We were a party of 4 and only one of us was hungry and ordered food, but 2 of our friends wanted to use the restroom and they straight up said that if one person orders, then only 1 person can use the washroom. There was no tables available, so we ordered take out. When 2 of us came outside and the other 2 were waiting in, one of my friend heard the waiter say keep an eye on them when they were waiting. Extremely unprofessional and unpleasant.
Amazing food amazing atmosphere amazing service if I am ever out this way again from where I live I WILL definitely be back thank you.
Great food and service.
What a great experience. Friendly staff and amazing food. LOVED the Rockford Skillet!
Great service and good food. Stop by and warm up your insides! I love stopping by for a quick lunch or breakfast.
Delicious food, staff efficient and professional.
Friendly and great food and prices!
Great food. Very friendly staff.
Excellent food. Efficient friendly service. Lively restaurant. Affordable prices. Highly recommend.
Quite literally the best value and best food in the area. I worked a job in Owen sound and went there literally every day for lunch and dinner for a week. Love it here, would drive from Toronto to eat here and see the wonderful staff.
Food was great but waitress was rude
I stop over this awesome place on my way to and back from the cottage. Their food is delicious, their service is impacable and the atmosphere is that of a family oriented, beautiful Bruce Peninsula. And the price? You cant get the combo anywhere.
The Rockford Restaurant is a real gem, friendly staff, great menu and well priced. Love stopping here, always had great meals! Parking: Plenty of free park in restaurants lot. Wheelchair accessibility: Easy wheelchair accessibility.
This is an absolute hidden treasure. Most everything is homemade and delicious. Had ceasar salad and chicken parmesain. Absolutely the best. Service also excellent. Prices reasonable. New favorite place!
What a great little restaurant...I have been hear a few times and everything has been 100% each time. Great fast and friendly service with a warm atmosphere. I will go back for sure.
Absolute . You know this place is unreal when all the locals eat here . Amazing prices . Service is top notch . Home cooked meals at a discount price . Unheard of these days.
Great breakfast and lunch spot. Go early, it gets busy. Traditional style good food, good selection done the way you like it.
Its our go-to place when we are in Owen Sound. Consistently good food, well prepared and great service. Popular spot. We have only had to wait for a table a couple of times over the years. Food
The only reason Im giving this review an overall 3 stars is because the food was amazing. Good job kitchen staff! As for wait staff, they were loud (yelling at guests as to where to sit when they came in the door) wearing open toed sandals and watched one pick up pieces of pie with her bare hands and another filter water from a cup of ice back into their water serving jug through her fingers. Disgusting! We were sat and then watched 2 tables that came in after us get served. We were definitely forgot about. Once our meals were brought to the table, by someone other than our server; we never seen our server again until our plates were empty. Usually like coming here but today was a horrible experience. Our next breakfast date will be at Dragon Fly Cafe.
Note: 16% automatic gratuity for large parties (apparently 6 is large, including kids.) We were not impressed, will not return. Food was good, waitress was very loud. Food
Great breakfast spot on the way to the cottage
Great place to go and be with friends and family
Great food, little to no wait, good service. This isnt a fancy place, its a home style country restaurant. Lots of locals. Kid-friendliness: Most of the tables can easily pull up a high chair without being in the way.
Awesome place to eat has breakfast until 3pm the food is delicious
Very courteous, quick and wicked fries! Enjoyed lunch 100%
Great food...Great service
Amazing place !! The food is great and the staff is amazing !! You wont be disappointed !!
Excellent food and Service
Very good shnitzel . Great price. Amazing staff. Very Clean. Thank you.
Great food great service
Good
After trying to make a reservation and being told our party of five wasn t large enough to make a reservation, but told there shouldn t be a problem we showed up no table available. So we said we would wait but after the rudest encounter with the worst server ever and actually asking us to go wait in our car after a 40 minute drive we left. We never get to go out farmers. Completely ruined our day. Thank you for the worst experience ever. If I could give you negative stars I would.
Nice homey feeling great place for breakfast Parking: Lots of parking Kid-friendliness: Yes Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to get in and out
Basic diner-type food with the German bend. But don t be fooled, the quality is outstanding. Schnitzel is a must have: it was tender and juicy, and the proportion of breading to meat was spot on. Came with great mashed potatoes and fantastic coleslaw. Portions are huge, so get ready to be full. We couldn t fit the pies, so we took some pieces to go. Great idea! They come from a nearby bakery and taste like grandma s: lots of filling, not too sweet, and dough is of high quality. Overall highly recommend!
Parking: Good parking Kid-friendliness: Family place good for all Wheelchair accessibility: Easy in and out.
We stopped at this country diner. Our waitress was very accommodating and helpful. I ordered the eggs Benny. It was delicious probably the best I ever had. Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu.
Great food
Arrived at 11:50 AM, 45 min wait to be seated, mmm maybe is something good. 30 min waiting for fish and chips, two pieces overcooked (almost burnt) no flavour in the fish, coleslaw and tartar sauce average. We left at 1:10 pm very disappointed.
Amazing home cooked food! So happy we stopped here, perfect family/diner restaurant
Place is fast and great food.
Yum what a treat! Wonderful food, close to home. Servers great. Enjoyed my first breakfast out in 2 years. Thankyou
Eggs Benedict were amazing.
Hot food, friendly service, and great portions! Parking: Plenty of parking Kid-friendliness: Plenty of kid-friendly options
Great service good breakfast
The fresh cut fries arr amazing!
Highly recommend checking out this restaurant! Lovely staff, HUGE portion sizes - and food was so quick coming out to the table. Everything we had was delicious!!
Very good food and fast service. The food was perfect and so were the servers. Theie pie is to die for. Would always go back to this place whenever I am near by.
Great food and our waitress Steph was awesome!!
Friendly with good food
The food and service was fantastic. The schnitzel is amazing
Fast, friendly and attentive service. Serving size and pricing incredible. We both had the tasty schnitzel. Mine had the most delicious mushroom cream sauce. Im not a big fan of restaurant vegetables but these were fresh not frozen and roasted to a sweet perfection. Never knew radishes could taste so good. Sadly, the restaurant is nearly 2 hours from our home, or I would be eating here frequently. **Review from 3 years ago.** First visit back since the pandemic began and my 5-star rating is now 2-stars. As soon as we entered the restaurant we were confronted by a very unpleasant, older, short haired blonde woman. She seemed upset at everything and everyone and I imagine her face would have cracked if she had attempted a smile. Dont like customer service, then get a different job. I ordered the same schnitzel as our previous visit. This time the paper-thin meat was overdone, and the mushroom sauce was some nasty thick gelatinous and sparse afterthought. The few roasted vegetables we got were still good, but not enough to save the meal. Tried a piece of homemade coconut cream pie. Horrible, artificial concoction!! FAIL
They were very busy so we had to wait a bit . The food was good and I had to take some of it home .
This was our first time there, we always said we were going to and we finally did. The food was awesome. The staff were very friendly. We will definitely go back and recommend this place!!
Always Great Breakfast
Pork schnitzel was tasty and filling
Great place to stop in for a bite Friendly staff and great service Food : 5/5
It was my first time to this restaurant.The food was absolutely delicious. The service was great.
Amazing breakfast would definitely go back
Had the Rockford skillet today for lunch and great as always!!
asked for seating for 7 people on a super busy Saturday, the amazing ladies that waited on us just asked for 10 minutes to get tables together and even came outside to tell us they were ready for us. was our first visit and weve been back twice, highly recommend visiting this restaurant!!!!
This became our go-to in the months we were living up on the Bruce. It s worth the drive and they have the best breakfasts! There s sometimes a wait, but it s worth it. The waitstaff work their tails off and deliver great service.
I love this place. As a man that loves a hearty breakfast, please try their Rockford skillet. They offer great options and took special requests with a smile and offered great advise on menu options.
Been many times, enjoyed all meals Ive ordered, waitress was very friendly, thanks again for cooking dinner tonight
Great schnitzel
The place was busy... but the service was spot on. The food was home made. Excellent. Bought a banana cream pie. It was awesome..
Quick, friendly service at a reasonable price.
Loved the Christmas tree as soon as u walk in. Friendly staff and the food was delicious. The apple caramel pie is worth the calories
Great server
