I’d heard this place made a big, excellent chicken-fried steak. I’d driven past it many times. But today, on my wife’s recommendation, we tried it. It was, without question, the best chicken-fried steak I’ve ever had. All the food was great. The service was very efficient and pleasant. The environment was clean and comfortable. No complaints.

We live not far from here. In the 6 years we’ve been eating here, every visit has been consistent. We arrive and get a table fairly quickly. Then it takes a short while to get drink orders. Then we wait. Drinks arrive and food orders are placed – now the real waiting game takes place. I do give them grace since after we arrived this time, a deluge of customers show up. But our food orders are placed 10 or so minutes beforehand. The food did arrive at around the 1 hour mark. And it was fantastic. I still can’t believe the size of our chicken fried steaks!! Overall great food but definitely understaffed. They did try to check on us when she could.

The Rockett cafe is a local and a personal favorite of my husband’s and mine. The pork chops are generously sized portions, juicy, and cooked with a little pink. The burgers are well seasoned and a nice medium rare if you ask for it. But what they’re most well known for are their chicken fried steaks, which are outstanding.
Ask for Gary, he’s a fantastic long time server!
The renovations are amazing!

OK, where I work they told me about the rocket Café club. So I decided to try it today. Upon entering was greeted fairly the host was friendly. I sat down And I looked at the menu and saw the catfish and that’s what I decided. I wanted it. The waitress came she took my order which I ordered catfish double fries and sweet tea. I didn’t feel a friendly vibe from the waitress, but she was professional. When the food was ready, there was a couple that came in after me and the waitress took my order first. Maybe I’m being a little too petty but when the food was ready and she brought it out, she did take a couple of their food first and then came to me. As far as the food, the taste was OK. The fries were a little hard if that makes sense the fish I can’t say how it was to me. It was fried a little hard but overall giving everything a one out of 10 to include hospitality. I would give this restaurant a four out of 10.The cost was OK. I don’t think I’ll be dining here again. I will be adding photos.

The food was OFF THE CHARTS! I so wish this was closer to my home. I won’t be driving almost 3 hrs to go eat there but if/when I’m in the area or passing through, I’ll definitely make an attempt to visit. In addition to the quality/taste of our meals, the portion size(s) were unbelievably large. The plates we ordered were chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes & fried okra and chicken tenders with the same sides. The sweet tea was some of the best I’ve ever had!!!!!

I have to admit the atmosphere has changed. It use to be a quaint mom and pop style restaurant with old nostalgia everywhere. Now there is a pool table dance floor and live music with multiple sports channels. … Looks great but I do miss the nostalgia. The food is still amazing as it was before… They are the best original chicken fried steak… I still have to take home left overs plan to go back and have more!!! Staff is still down home friendly which is so rare these days… love it!!!

We had heard that this place was pretty good, so we thought to give it a try. Don’t know if you’ve ever seen a 1 lb burger before, but that thing was HUGE! Service was a little slow, but it was nice. It’s a country feel. My chicken fried steak looked really big but it was more breading that meat. The pork chops were over cooked & was a little tough. The burger was the best thing. It was tender & moist.

A must stop if you are even remotely close to the area. Really fun bar with live music. Iconic country setting and establishment. The food is great, they are known for their huge chicken fried steaks but the catfish is my favorite.

The Rocket Cafe is great place to go and have a great meal with friendly fun relaxing atmosphere. It is definitely worth the trip and great prices. The last time I had the chopped steak. It was as delicious as we ate this time. They also have live music on the weekends. It is a must try. We will definitely make the trip again.
