Google needs to adjust what can be constituted a “restaurant.” This is more of the level of a Denny’s Knock Off rather than an actual restaurant. Food quality is that of a fast food “restaurant” and service was that of a gas station where they’re annoyed you’re even there. Like a deep hatred of their jobs underlie taking your order as if theyre doing you a favor by taking your order.

The Black Cuban Bean soup was very good, as well as the Ruben sandwich (I shared the sandwich). The basket of fries was marginal; small potatoes with lots of tiny end pieces. There was room for improvement in the area of service. It wasn't pleasant to observe how the wait staff treated other diners. We picked up facial expressions and an attitude of discontent when KM waited on specific customers. Moving on, the prices were reasonable. This location has a pleasant atmosphere and plenty of parking. It's one of my favorite places to dine and is noted by the city of Akron (7 consecutive years) as one of the best casual places to go. Because wait staff is a variable, Rickne's is still a sure bet.

My mom and I stopped by Rockne's for lunch. This was the first time we ever dined here. Before we venture to any new establishment, I typically read the Google reviews, as they always provide good insight from previous patrons.
Upon walking into the restaurant, the decor made me think of Cheers (the show from the 80s). There is beautiful wood paneling and neat memorabilia that fill the walls. The bathrooms are located right off the entryway and are very clean, by the way. We were promptly seated after our arrival. Our waitress was Sarah; she was quick to take our drink order and made our meal choices simple by making some suggestions. My mom and I started with a couple of side salads and an order of sauerkraut balls for an appetizer. We did not wait very long for this to arrive. The salads were massive and plentiful. I ordered balsamic dressing with mine, and Holy cow, was it amazing!! The sauerkraut balls were some of the best we've had. The honey mustard dressing was the perfect complement for them! Our main course arrived at great time, as we had just finished up with our appetizers. My mom ordered the Terminator sub, and I had the Jumbo Fajita Plate. Both dishes were well portioned. So much that we had lots of leftovers! My mom loved her sandwich and said it was not greasy and had great flavor. My fajitas were perfect! The chicken was very tender and came with amazing flavor, too. It was not salty, spicy, or bland - it was just right. Sarah came by quite often to check on us and replenish our beverages. We really liked talking to her and appreciated her kindness and patience. She is such a lovely gal!!
In all, we left extremely satisfied with this place and would highly recommend it. It's a cool atmosphere that was very clean and tastefully decorated. I found the floors to be really unique! There is plenty of parking, too.
We can't wait to come back!!

Parking lot was super packed, ended up parking way in the back, just north of Kentucky I think. I got inside, plenty of tables. Don't let the lot fool you. The food was better than I've had at other chain places, nice staff, very toddler tolerant. We'll be back again.

My god they're so nice. I don't eat out because I can never get just plain veggies with no oil, so I asked on their Facebook if they'd do that and not only did they reply immediately but they asked which location I'd go to and let me know exactly what to order. Upon going, I was served by cierra and she was absolutely amazing. Literally the sweetest girl. Even the two hosts were extremely nice. The interior was immaculate. Just the vibe itself legit makes me want to work there too. Such a great, accommodating crew.
