Reviews for Rock-Cola 50's Cafe in Indianapolis, IN
Don?t let the small size of the restaurant fool you! It?s small, on the outside it has a small side road feel, but that is... quickly forgotten by its strong personality on the inside! Ceiling filled with posters and signed dollar bills by customers andlocals (I presume), walls bursting at the seams with old time posters, the pink and turquoise paint job screams old time dinerand the food and people bring you into a local time machine! Great fried food (I enjoyed a hearty Reuben with a side of deepfried mushrooms), with milkshakes and malts? you can?t go wrong on their menu. They don?t reinvent the wheel, but if you likewheels the way they are, this is the place for you! Families with young kids eating milkshakes, biker crews stopping in for aquick bite, elderly men swapping yarns or reading books?you could run into anyone or anything that will make you feel like youstopped in for a casual Saturday afternoon 70 years ago. 5/5 for design and theme 5/5 for food and service* 4/5 for cleanlinessand staff friendliness * it would be hard to have more than 4-6 people in a group sit at the same table, so if you are a largegroup, call ahead Read more
My man is from Indy and recommended this place raving about their hamburgers?so we stopped in today. He wasn?t wrong. It?s a... quaint little restaurant with a 1950?s theme which I have a soft spot in my heart for (my dad grew up in that time era and usedto collect vintage coke machines). We were greeted promptly with a friendly smile and seated immediately. Our server suggestedthe choca-cola (which she described as ?like yoo-hoo but wayyy better!?) and?.she was correct. Ya gotta try it when you go. Weboth got cheeseburgers which were quite tasty and fresh!! The seasoned fries were hot and delicious. We will def be back! Read more
After getting interested in going to a restaurant (or café in this case) that would take me back into the 50s, I found this... amazing wonder. Walking in, I was immediately met with an amazing atmosphere. Sweet ole employees and good ole music. There weregreat decorations and amazing services. My boyfriend couldn't stop talking about how good their burger was with the eggs servedon it. I asked him if it was because of the eggs, and he said even the patty itself made it amazing. We had so much fun here,and one of the employees even took a picture of us as we were dressed up for the decade. Couldn't ask for a better place. Read more
Found this gem today while going downtown for Father's Day and glad we stopped by to try it. Great portions of Americana in a... fun retro atmosphere. The digital jukebox brings back childhood memories. Staff is fast and helpful. Plenty of parking. Seating inside but only 5 booths so plan accordingly! Restroom is available inside too. Read more
Always great! For breakfast I recommend the omelette and they have the best hash browns anywhere! For being a small place, I... almost never have to wait for seating. Door dash or someone is constantly running in and out! Try it! Read more
What a cute treasure in the southeast of Indy. You really feel like traveling back in time. We've been twice and both times... they had no music which is surprising. It seems strange not to hear Elvis' voice since his face is all over the walls. Foodwas very good both times. The hand-pattied burgers are bigger than the bun they sit on, but not too thin. Handmade milkshakescome in the metal tumbler they are made in. Check out Groupon for good deals if you want to save a buck. Read more
Good food and service. Rock-Cola 50's Café is a 50s-style diner counter with counter stools and several tables. They are... plenty of items on the menu to choose from. Standard diner food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Menu items include burgers,breakfast, ice cream & fountain drinks. There are plenty of nostalgic items. Many appearing to date back to the 50's.

We recently discovered this place right here in our neighborhood and let me tell you were gonna be regulars here. Everything... we've tried has been delicious. The owner does all the cooking himself and when I say it's good I really mean good. Definitelygive this place a try if you've never been before. Breakfast and dinner both have been amazing! Read more
