| - When I had the chance to go out to eat as a kid, I went to too many of these types of places: sit-down restaurants that have hamburgers, sub sandwiches, with one or two dishes that feature Italian, Mexican, and 'oriental' cuisine], casual dress, often located in suburban shopping developments, have sports on TVs in the background.
I'll admit my bias, I'm not really a fan of these type of places and Rockne's, sort of blend together with appleland [applebees], Fridays, Red Robin, fuddruckers, Champs, bennigan's, max and ermas, etc, etc.
So, for what Rockne's offers, it does all right.
The chicken and dumplings soup was the same [Campbell's] that mom used to buy from market day. On my most recent visit, I had a gyro that tasted fine. FYI: The Rockne's Sauce (not sure what it's called) on the burgers is the sort of thousand-island based sauce similar to McDonald's. Priced reasonable, menu items under $15.
If you're looking for a typical, Americana restaurant, Rockne's does a good job at it without being a chain. However, if you have any sense of adventure for food, you'll probably want to head elsewhere.
