32786 Lougheed Hwy., Mission, BC V2V 1A7, Canada
Rocko's Diner is a 24 hour diner established in 1956. We serve homestyle Diner fare, breakfast 24/7, footlong hotdogs and have over 20 flavours of MILKSHAKES!! The inspiration for Pop's Diner on the TV series Riverdale, Rockos Diner has been a part of the Mission community for over 60 years. Rockos is fourth generation operated and we pride ourselves on having all briskets, hams, roasts, and corned beef; brined, cured, and smoked onsite. Finish up a meal with a slice of homemade pie or a soft ice cream sundae.
The food was decent, milkshakes are really good. Always fun to come here with friends, love the vibe.
Drove 2 hours from Vancouver to try Rocko’s, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Heard about this place through Riverdale. Food came out super quick and was delicious! Vibes were IMMACULATE in there.
This is a cozy, 24-hour spot that’s perfect for comfort food cravings at any hour. They offer an impressive variety of poutines and milkshakes, so there’s always something interesting to try. The chicken wings are flavorful, though a bit on the sweet side for my taste. The staff are warm and welcoming, adding to the inviting atmosphere. It’s a great place to relax and enjoy some classic comfort food options whenever you need a bite.
Retro vibes, great service and hot food. Rocko's 24 Hour Diner a great spot to visit, especially if you're traveling further east along Highway 7. We visited early in the morning, while traveling to Hope. Breakfast was exactly what you'd hope: warm, quick, and satisfying. The portions were great and it's a fun space to let your eyes wander while waiting for your food. I wouldn't mind popping in for some coffee and pie on another drive through the area.
It's a fun 50's Dinner famous for being in tv shows. Definitely try their milkshakes strawberry or vanilla is really good! They have soo many food options. The poutines are over all great and burgers are just okay. It's would be great date spot if you're willing to drive an hour from Vancouver.
The food was mediocre, to be honest. The milkshakes were alright, but nothing special. However, the service deserves a 0/10. I don’t understand how they can enforce such a double standard. They have signs that say “abusive behavior is not tolerated,” yet their servers are apparently allowed to mistreat customers without consequence. I usually don’t complain, but one server, who appeared to be of Asian descent, treated us quite poorly. After I asked a simple question, she responded with something like, “I hear what you said; you’ve already said it too many times.” Her tone was dismissive and rude. I’m not someone who expects perfection, but basic respect should be a given in any service interaction. This experience has left me with a bad impression of the restaurant, and I don’t think I’ll be coming back anytime soon.
The drive to this place from Vancouver is fun and the food is also good. Don’t forget to try their milkshakes. Portions are big and price is adequate.
I have been to Rocko's Diner a few times and this restaurant is pretty good as far as variety goes Some of the food is worth trying while others are mediocre. I have recently come back there to have the Deep Fried French Toast, which I found to be exceptionally good. The French toast tasted very deep fried yet crunchy and warm as well. It also comes with strawberry sauce and butter syrup for more sweetness. The best thing to have there are the milkshakes, which they come in a variety of flavours. You can even have two flavours in the milkshake if you want. When I asked if they could make an Eggnog Milkshake, they were courteous enough to go through the trouble. The interior look of the establishment looks nice with their 50s theme they have going. Overall, Rocko's Diner is a decent restaurant with some creative entrees to offer and would not mind coming back there.
Do you want to re-live the 19th or early 2000s Dining time line? Well isn t it your luckiest day, Rocko s Diner is the perfect match! It was my first time there and believe me I was very happy indeed. The food was awesome and the service was amazing. However, you can t forget about the atmosphere. Words can t describe the scenery, it felt like I was really back in time. Thank you for the great experience.
Very cool place to visit! Not many oldies dinners exist like this anymore. Facilities are clean and there is plenty of parking. There are plenty of great and interesting food items to choose from on the menu with some of the best mike shakes I have had. Food serving sizes are very fair as well as pricing. Love that this place is 24 hours as well! Definitely a must visit if you are in Mission.
A great place to go for a special occasion.
this is probably one of, if not the best restaurant in the fraser valley. food is always fantastic, service is great, the waiters are always friendly, and the atmosphere is very nice, makes you feel like you re in a diner from the 50s. Definitely a recommended if you re in the area
Can never go wrong with Rockos! Always satisfied with delicious and filling diner food, the milkshakes are amazing and the atmosphere puts you right back in a retro era, as if Luke Perry RIP or James Dean were going to walk through the front door!
Its a popular place so theirs usually a bit of a wait. But totally worth it. Especially their milkshakes .
Food was great! But the service was not that great! I found the server not that friendly! She asked my partner to refill his ice tea but she ignored me! She didnt looked at me while taking order and even smile. My glass was empty. Didnt bother to ask her for water coz I felt her vibes. Sorry but I think she is not that friendly.
We have eaten here many times, its always delicious. Excellent diner fare served hot and delicious, the milkshakes should not be missed!
Great classic 24hr dinner. Delicious food.
Its the Riverdale, the heart of the city.. the service is awesome.. price is a little up there, but its a new experience for tourist! Vegetarian options: I am not sure, but its a good day to try eating meat for the first time too Dietary restrictions: All is good Parking: Staff are awesome and beautiful Kid-friendliness: They have changing pad and some drawing paper Wheelchair accessibility: Yes
Genuinely the worst food I have ever had
Always fabulous food and large portions
We eat here all the time when offroading in Mission area love the burgers and the breakfast as well as the shakes
Was a great atmosphere to be in. The wait staff were impeccable
Awesome food and a staple to the community of Mission
Tasty food and good service but somewhat small portions for a diner. Would recommend.
great atmosphere for a diner, very good food, wife loves the ham omelette & I like the veal cutlet.
Amazing food and service, I would definitely suggest going to Rockos for a bite to eat
Great place to hangout late in the night, got some amazing milkshakes. Strawberry milkshake is to die for! If you have watched riverdale, you know this better than anyone.
It s like I went back in time, and the milkshakes are the best.
Rats Flies Overrated Disgusting Food ass Frozen and old food Air fried Slow service
A great place to grab a burger and milkshake! A blast from the past- diner style! If you re going to check it out, you need to get a milkshake! They have a great greasy diner breakfast too!
Small, claustrophobic dining space. The food was mediocre at best. Two of the 4 meals arrived incorrectly and had to go back. Whatever they use as mayo is disgusting, the relish is even worse. The patties are frozen generic hamburger patties. The toppings on the chicken club were non existent and the sweet flavors from the mayo and relish were terrible. The poutine was just some shredded cheese thrown on with gravy on top. The milkshakes were ok. I wont go back, its too expensive for the mediocrity that was served on our plates.
Rocco s never disappoints.
Chicken Tenders with waffles. Everything out of a box, chicken and waffles were both overcooked and were just dumped in the fryer or popped in the toaster. I would not reorder but my buddy goth a breakfast bowl, corned beef with hollandaise sauce that was excellent, fresh and good tasting. Wish I could have said the same about the waffles and chicken tenders.
Awesome food and service!
Great food and service
I had driven by many times but not stopped in. We finally made it for an early morning breakfast. Service was great milkshake was amazing and the food was on par!
Like a trip down memory lane. Definitely a place you need to visit. What a 50 s vibe
Cool place.
Very pleasant host, big and tasty portions.
great little place its busy might have to wait but worth t
The best comfort food. loaded with flavor. love the service May you never ever close!!!
How can you not give this place 5 stars. Such a cool little retro diner, the food is great and the milkshakes are so good.
Service was bad food was terrible, deep fried pickles more like deep fried mush and the chicken burger tasted like dog food the cheese wasn t even melted. Never coming back.
What a cool little place!
Freaking delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!! Super sweet staff!!!!!!!!!!! Dietary restrictions: Can make anything to your needs
Best shakes this side of the Fraser. Good coffee and onion rings too.
Great late night spot.. great retro ambience
Well, the last time I got the breakfast skillet. I was in bed sick for 3 days.Never going back
Some things dont change! And thats a good thing!! Havent been to Rockos in 20 years since I was a kid but upon entering i was instantly transported back in time to simpler days and banana milk shakes. My girlfriend was estatic about all the varieties of milk shake and we had a great breakfast on our way through. 10/10 stop. Thankyou Rockos keep being awesome!! Hope to bring kids of my own in one day!
Great atmosphere and food. Got the cookies and cream shake, as well as the wings, jalapeno poppers, and mac n cheese bites. 10/10, would recommend.
Always best food and great service. The burgers and poutine, a must try Parking: Lotsa parking front and round side Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, accessible
Really long wait..I got breakfast i liked it but the bacon seemed like it was microwave style.( really thin) My girlfriend ordered the waffle which was only half of a very small waffle plus she ordered it with strawberries and no whip cream but it came with way too much whipped cream on it... I might go again but I would have to really think about it and would have to convince my girlfriend to go back..the Coquitlam Grill is way way better.. Parking: Small parking lot. Some parking in the back. When its really busy u might have to park next door or somewhere else.(very shady neighborhood)
Everything was amazing from Rocko s. The food, service, everything!!!
Out of the 5 meals we ordered, two were enjoyed. Staff was friendly and the atmosphere is fun.
Is spectacular experience. I had the disco fries and my wife had a burger and we both enjoyed our respective meals immensely. Good service, cool atmosphere, highly recommended.
A gem in Abbotsford. Amazing menu. Need to return to try multiple dishes.
Be prepared for so much food you might want to share. Old fashioned diner...always a great place.
I love this place, great price, portions and service.
Had brunch here for my husband s birthday. Food was good, the servers were warm and friendly. Definitely recommend it if you re passing by mission.
The skillet was ok and the eggs benny was pretty small for what they charge. Not bad either way.
Great place for food. Its a smaller restaurant so it does fill up fast during peak hours.
We love this place. Delicious food, great people. Amazing place.
Kim is my go to Server!! Shes just amazing at what she does...Rokos food is delish!! Thanks !!!
When with my team last night, I had an amazing experience, and the milkshakes are out of this world
If you re looking for that old town diner vibe, this is the place. Food was great and they re open 24 hours!!
Peppermint Pat says the friendly service and fantastic shake menu selection accompanied by quality 50s diner food have shaped one of the fondest memories that I have dining with my dear younger brother MM and sister in law JA. Long lives Riverdale!
If I could leave zero stars for the service on this establishment I would. My family and I were so beyond excited to eat here we had a larger group and asked for two tables which they did have and instead made us cram into a booth all together and despite trying to explain we didn t want it they made us sit there, drinks took forever to get , all of us ate at completely separate times , due to how crammed we were in this booth my plate ended up falling on me to which I didn t even get to eat any of it, we explained it to 3 different people and not one of them did anything expect say oh I m sorry I didn t seat you , or I m Sorry you were unhappy, like literally no one tried to help us or take accountability for anything that occurred. We are more then happy to pay for things and leave tips but the service in here by everyone left us speechless and the snottiess, along with staff who shouldn t even be working in the service industry was disgusting especially when 3 of us tried to explain nicely what was occurring and why were not happy. Clearly this place is more about the money than they are customer service. I ll be sure to let everyone I know who planned on eating here to not bother
Excelent choices with great service.
Classic diner that is definitely worth the visit! Classic menu full of shakes, floats, burgers and appys. The quality and size of the portions compared to the menu price reminded me of 2019, a double patty burger with cheese and bacon for under $20! Definitely coming back to get more shakes, onion rings and the biggest burgers you ever seen! Staff were great and checked in regularly. If youre a fan of Riverdale its a bonus :) Kid-friendliness: Very welcoming and friendly. There is a sign near the front saying all patrons must be respectful with no bad language, vaping/drugs/alcohol allowed inside. Bad customers are banned to keep the place safe/nice.
Wayback time machine - step into nostalgia. Great milkshakes, cannot say about any other food, because thats the only thing I ever order.
Consistently awesomeness in every category! THE ultimate definition of diner food. Prepared and served so consistent and delicious... youll crave it upon mention of the mere name... Rockos! Love this place!
This is a 50-year-old shop with a large portion and delicious milkshakes. 24.8.30
Busy but always a fun place to stop in. We like going for the milkshakes. We take them to go and find a park, or stay when its not busy
Got the deepfried perogy not fried enough and they put in long onions before they were chopped wasnt as good
Retro diner, great food, great service. Do I need to say more. Get in here already.
I love Rockos! Finally got to bring my siblings here from out of town, and they loved it! Food is always hot and delicious. Our server Ava was on point and super friendly. Thanks again!
Its just what I like. Great food and great prices. Maybe to many options but at least there is something for everyone
Really disappointed, drove all the way from Langley to get milkshakes. We paid and waited outside for 20mins before someone told us the machine was broken and that we have to get refunded. Would ve preferred a heads up sooner rather than waiting for 20minutes with nothing said to us about what was going on. I recommend phoning them ahead of time to see if their machine is working if you want a milkshake to avoid being disappointed like when McDonald s tells you their ice cream machine is broken
Beautiful deep yellow eggs which you dont often see these days.
Staff are so nice I missed my bus back home and they let me sit there till bus came
Great place to eat. Enough said.
the food and service has its days where it is very good or very bad, just like any other place. Either way, we still like coming here!
Food was soooooo good! Will go back for sure!
Came here on vacation because its the film location for Riverdales Pops diner. It was cool to see inside the diner for a fan of the show, but the food fell short of expectation. I got Waffles which were cold, and served with Strawberry sauce. I was expecting fresh strawberries considering they grow abundantly in BC. The bacon was super thin, no better than Tim Hortons. And then I got a milk shake which was too sweet. I think it was made with chocolate sauce instead of chocolate ice cream. Everything was kind if a disappointment.
Food was great, quick and for a great price. I just love the atmosphere. Their milkshakes are to die for.
If you like frozen burgers, frozen fries and canned mushrooms for $25, this is your place! Come on Rocko, make fresh food, not frozen garbage. Tourist trap, will never eat there again.
Paula needs an attitude adjustment real quick.
The food was good, overpriced but good, we had gone on a weekend and waited 40 min for a seat. The milkshakes are
The food was good, no complaints at all. We enjoyed the vibe and waitress was great, only thing Id suggest is outside seating for people who have pets with them.
Wicked place. Lots of great things to try and some really adventurous options too. Thanks for a great meal and that cherry shake!!
The best!! Pickup was fast, delicious and service was great!
We were served by a lady with a nasty bitchy behaviour, worst service in my entire life. We also had to wait a long time for our food and it was plain and cold. Came excited for the experience but left disgusted and disappointed. Never coming back!
Always a good experience.
Delicious burgers and milkshakes. Fries kinda mid. Prices are expensive. Nice vibe
Very expensive but absolutely great milkshakes lots of flavors
It is our first time at Rockos and we went there coz its famous. But the food is not good at all! The hotdog is too salty, the beef patty?!?! Its just a frozen patty like a sausage patty. Its no good at all!!! We were very disappointed with the food! The only thing is good is the potato on the eggs benny and thats it. The caramel milk shake doesnt even taste caramel. And thats not funny at all! We drove 1 hour just to try what they offer and we were all just disappointed. The washroom is stinky and the forks were dirty. The food is not cheap at all! So it is liter and not worth it to go there.
I love rococo food is always great and will m9st definitely be going back
Very unique spot to enjoy a milkshake, burger, and fries. We all had different milkshakes, and they all had amazing flavors. The decor reminds you of the 50s, and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. We did not have to wait to be seated. However, it was quite busy shortly after we arrived. Everything we ordered arrived quickly, and the fries were very tasty. Will come back on our next visit to the area.
Good food and service, but the place looks tired...
Blatantly makes fun of celiacs (an autoimmune disease) who need to eat a gluten free diet to survive.
The food here was great! Cozy, ambient 50 s Diner atmosphere and the staff are friendly. I ordered the Gladiator Burger, removed the lettuce and tomato then added a few of their delicious onion rings on top. My girlfriend ordered the Reuben sandwich which was also delicious. Can t wait to return and sample the rest of their menu!
amazing little retro diner. Highly recommend. Great for a date night, or small family gathering..
Classic diner atmosphere! Love coming here for their wide range of milkshakes!
I swear everytime I decide to come here with new people, I remember why I should have just went somewhere else. Last two times I went, the service left much to be desired with no refills on coffee and dirty plates left at the table despite our server passing back and forth multiple times without it being busy. And when we went today I ordered a side of hashbrowns, poutined with hollaindaise and cheese and it was rung in as a Breakfast Poutine without eggs or meat which was double the price when that was not what I ordered and ended up paying $17 for hashbrowns, hollandaise, and some cheese that would have costed me $7.75 normally. To ring in a customers order as something they did not order is unacceptable.
We stopped in for a milkshake and fries around 7pm. I ordered a black licorice milkshake...do not make the same mistake! It tasted like chemical. My son had the maple walnut and was very happy. The poutine was okay, made with what appeared to be McCains fries with packaged gravy with grated cheddar. The young ladies serving were fantastic. Fun ambiance!
Awesome! Love the food & everything else!
I love this place. Food is so good. Specially the pulled pork poutine. Mike shakes are over sized which is so good as well.
Great experience.
Food is just average. Friendly and attentive staff.
So cute here!!!
Always great food and service
Didnt like it much the food is sloppily made dont care for the service not friendly just a big rush. Dont get the popularity I find it really dirty n greasy n dont smell all that good at times. just my personal opinion. But then again I dont like Rickies either
Burger patties are terrible, milshakes are good and the atmosphere is wonderful. Definitely always busy however
Pleasant first experience. Just like the show Riverdale the milkshakes did not disappoint and was delicious. Same thing with the burgers and fries. They were pipping hot. Great experience overall and is a must try if you havent already had Rockos before.
Was there for two hours, but should ve only been there for one. Waited a long time for service, food, and getting two boxes for to-go. Staff is busy, will forget about your requests and their attitude is just not it. Food is nothing special. Wouldn t go back.
If its busy, it can take a bit to get your food. Its a bit of a tourist trap lately with Riverdale so if youre a local you might want to skip it. Food is decent diner fare.
My family and I (7of us) went here for breakfast today. My mom has severe allergies to pork. Due to this we made a request if we could get the eggs made separately or far from the bacon and the waitress bluntly said it s not possible. We asked if we could get the eggs done on different pan but she said something that didn t even make sense. She said we use the same pans over and over. What does that even mean? Can you not wash it? For a customer ?? Who is extremely allergic?? I even asked her if they can wash it .. she said something that just didn t make sense. Overall people with allergies don t go to Rocko s because they don t care about your allergies whatsoever. The server who I talked to wasn t polite at all.
I came here today with my wife and children, my wife has an extreme allergy to pork and when we asked the cooks to not cook her food in the same pan they cook the pork they said they couldn t do that. We even explained that she could go to the hospital but they refused to go out of their way to wash a pan separately for my wife. This is horrible customer service and I am deeply disappointed in the way they handled this
Wanted to go for breakfast since I have pork allergies so I always have to ask and make sure things aren t fried near pork and I kindly asked if they could be considered of my allergies and all I received was a straight no, I kindly asked if they could maybe just wash one pan and I still was a straight no I m very disappointed since I heard so much about this place.
Always amazing. Every. single. time
10/10. The staff is always the best
Great place to bring the family.
They use frozen patties for the burgers, would have been nice to have been warned. Everything else is fine, good milkshakes, really cool vibes otherwise Food
Delicious burgers, poutine, and milkshake!
A great place to go for some good classic diner food
Everything we had hoped the experience at Rockos would be. We took my grandson for grad dinner as he watched the full series of Riverdale and asked to go. The food was truly delicious and did not disappoint
Went there because as funny as it sounds my dogs name is Rocko was great place a bit pricey but great food great service and great atmosphere
Dietary restrictions: Probably go elsewhere as they dont really care about your dietary restrictions Food
You enter the place and not even Hello or how can I help you anything, they just stare at you like a strange animal, good food, terrible service
Best Eggs Benny Ive had in a long time!!
We just came in for a couple of shakes. The shakes were delicious, very frosty and large. Perhaps they could consider having a smaller size for those who cant enjoy the full-size version. The price, $20 for two shakes, is definitely on the high side.
We arrived with lots of customers at noon today. I ordered take-out meals. Maybe the waitresses are too busy. I just got boxes. So I went back for forks and napkins. Later. When I ate the fries, I just found we have no ketchup. I paid some tips when I made our order.
The place is neat, 50 s diner vibe. Unfortunately the service is confusing. We got placed at a table right away, we gave our drink requests. Then within 3-5 min of reading the menu we had 3 different waitresses ask us what we d like to order. Sorry but our faces are still buried in the menues, not ready yet. Our drinks never showed up. We then placed our menues down and we had to make eye contact with a waitress in order for us to place our order, which included a reminder of the drinks we ordered. Once our milk shakes arrived there was no whipped cream and a spoon. My 6 year old saw the other tables milk shakes so she of course set her hopes up for the same experience. The waitress definitely could have asked if we wanted whipped cream if it s optional. Our food arrived and that was the last time we had a waitress visit our table. No water refills either. The food was meh, the burger patties are bear paw stamped formed frozen western family quality patties. Quite disappointed. For 2 adults and 1 child it was a $80+ bill. Oh, and they don t have AC, the waitresses were wearing neck fans to help cool them. They were all sweaty as were all the guests. Definitely will not be giving this place another try. Very unfortunate
Nice place to eat. I had Albert as a waiter and he did amazing. 10/10 will definitely be going again!
A cute diner with great burgers and ok service. Dietary restrictions: No gluten free options Food : 4/5 |
Service seems to have taken a hit since last time I was there but everything else is still top tier in books
Shakes are never served always machines are not working, went specially to eat from Vancouver but food quality was very poor and took half hour to serve water and food was almost another 30 minutes.
Bit pricey for the food tbh, but theyre open at 2am so given the competition is drive thru fast food, still a win really Service was a bit slow due to late night staffing but not unreasonable, and once they were focused on you, service was prompt and friendly. Kitchen was surprisingly efficient even at 2am
Great atmosphere food was awesome. Your typical old-fashioned 50s diner.
Service was awful. Had to ask someone to take our order, and after that the only time a waitress came to our table was to deliver our food. No AC. Food was fast but just ok, not anything spectacular as would expect from a diner. I wouldnt go back.
Milkshakes top notch, staff really on the ball and the atmosphere is definitely hitting what its aiming for.
The food was great, it was busy there should have been more staff.
Finally got a chance to visit this famous diner, and it did not disappoint. Food is great.
Delicious food, Great customer service Jennifer is the greatest server Rocko s ever had!!!!! Food
Finally got to visit this diner from a show! Staff were super friendly, great food and the servings were massive. The server/cashier with the piercing legit looked like Betty and Veronica combined. Will revisit
Food was very greasy overpriced I had breakfast skillet and apple juice tasted like water service was very well
From the eggs Benny to the milk shake it was excellent!
Classically great breakfast. Always a solid choice when in mission. Check it out!
This place has a really unique, old-fashioned feeling to it, it reminds me of what Red Robins used to be. The food, though not bad, was nothing to write home about. Very heavy on the carbs, very light on the protein. However, the atmosphere is really special, and I would recommend this place almost exclusively because of that. It almost felt like a tourist attraction to me, and if I lived closer I would frequent this place!
Great food home style
Busy and short staffed, food was only ok
Best shakes and burgers
Love it all!
Dude we waited an hour, nobody came, barely full, honestly dookie boooks
Fun little diner. I got some ridiculous burger wrapped in bacon, it was huge. I would definitely get it again.
Went to this diner because of Riverdale, much awaited dining experience and the service was excellent.
My husband, children and I had a great time. It was a super low key and relaxed environment. The food was great, the fries were so so. The milkshake was SO DELICIOUS. My fish burger was delicious but fell apart in my hands, I ate the rest with a fork! It was quite expensive.. but a fun experience.
