  1. The atmosphere is really fun, and it's in the heart of montrose so there are a lot of different shops surrounding it.
  2. This is a great diner and great decor-- if you are going to the Montrose one for dinner, there are waiting list at popular times-- but it is worth the wait -try kitchen sink omlet, and brown cow shakes
  3. Food is pretty good, interior is fun, service is good (sometimes very good), and prices are a bit high.
  4. The 50's Decor is fun.

Cute lil Diner

by Jenny H

Don't come here expecting a filet mignon. It's just a cute lil diner with quick and easy meals. The atmosphere is really fun, and it's in the heart of montrose so there are a lot of different shops surrounding it. I like to get their chicken wings..super deelish!

  • Pros: Great atmosphere, great area

Bad Quality

by 1262006

in my experience of going to rocky cola cafe was HORRIBLE! The service was okay but the quality of the meals were awful. First, the water tasted like it was tap water with a somewhat of a dirty cup. Second, my burger wasn't even cooked at all. I took one bite and saw "fluid" leaking out of it with every press to the patty. Finally, if you go there with young children, the waiters make a big fuss that if your child does not stop crying, we will have to ask you to leave.

  • Pros: service
  • Cons: everything else

Everything is out of a can. No fresh cooked food at all.

by leevining

Everything on the menu is out of a can.

The "Oklahoma Chili" is really Smart and Final restaurant supply bulk chili.

Nothing is fresh cooked at Rocky Cola at all. French frys were defrosted in the morning then lightly nuked for your enjoyment! - Bon Appetite'!!!

The food is horrible, expensive, and sloppy service.

Rocky Cola is a tourist trap, plain and simple.

  • Pros: On a beautiful street.
  • Cons: Tasteless food. Just frozen and warmed or out of a can.

Poor family service

by zachsmom

I grew up going to Rocky Cola Cafe...as a teenage I ended every CVHS activity with a trip there for fried zucchini and vanilla coke. BUT my trip there last week as a mother was a totally different experience. First of all, no changing table in the bathroom. Then I am sitting there with my baby who is breastfeeding and cooing and the manages walks over and tells me another customer is offended by your baby and you need to leave. So I left immediately...and the waiter chases me out to the street to write down my license number to call the police cause I didn't pay for my food. I tell him, I'll pay for my soup but you have got nerve asking me to pay after asking me to leave! Anyways, he walks inside with the credit card then comes back out with the slip for me to sign. He says he is sorry they asked me to go but the offended party wanted to relax. (mind yoiu the juke box was playing louder that my baby was cooing..it was the breastfeeding that annoyed these folks!) When I called the next day to complain to the owner they DID refund my cresit card for the meal BUT I would say this is not the best choice to bring young kids too.

  • Pros: the staff will make sure all babies are quiet and bottlefed
  • Cons: no changing table and babies must be quiet
