The food was delicious and my first time trying chocolate gravy was amazing!
Everyone in my group loved their food. We had a variety of items such as pot roast, catfish, hamburger, chicken and dumplings, and country fried steak. Everything looked and tasted delicious. The server was very kind and attentive even though we came in 30 minutes before closing. My plate had some other food items prior to the photo. Thought about it after everyone started raving about their food.
We had dessert first. Carrot and Mississippi mud cake. Dinner was chicken and dressing (could use more chicken) fried okra, mashed potatoes, and pinto beans. Buttermilk cornbread, not the sweet kind. Very good dinner. Friendly owner and staff! True local restaurant!
Very good place. It makes me miss my grandparents because they used to take me to get this type of food a lot when I was younger. Delicious simple foods, especially the mashed potatoes, like I grew up eating. Prices are excellent as well. I will definitely be coming back here frequently to eat. Next time I'll be trying the peach cobbler! Update: The peach cobbler is also delicious, although I wish it had more peaches and less 'bread'. Sometimes it's s little too runny as well. Breakfast is great. I got the French toast, bacon, and biscuit and sausage gravy. My boyfriend got the pancakes with bacon. Everything was good. I really liked the biscuit and sausage gravy. And the pancakes were really fluffy and moist and delicious. They used to have a chocolate gravy biscuit, that was really good, but unfortunately they don't sell that one anymore.
We love Rolo’s! Best biscuits in town. We meet once a month for breakfast with a group of 10 as do many other groups. Rolo’s is always very accommodating. The staff is very thoughtful and efficient—especially the sweet frau who covers our group. On other days just the two of us go for lunch. Food is always good and plentiful at reasonable prices. Great place! Sue & Jeff, 35802
I liked this place. Everything was pretty great diner food. We got breakfast and liked it. Cinnamon rolls were really good. Definitely will go back.
I very rarely give 5 stars but they deserve it!!! The fried green tomatoes my Lord!!!! The service was amazing they were so friendly. The atmosphere gives you a mom and pop feel that makes you feel right at home. This was true authentic SOUTHERN cuisine. I plan to go back soon so I can try more things.
We enjoyed our first visit! Service was great and it was a nice local meat and 3 lunch spot
