    Country fried steak Eggs over medium Homefries
    Anthony R.

    Really good, service was great. My wife had pumpkin pancakes and they were delicious. Country fried steak was also very good. One of the best local places for breakfast.

    If you are looking for country cooking, this place has what you are looking for in Rockledge. Good service and a cozy place.

    Country scrambler.
    Joyce C.

    First time here. Split the country scrambler, (scrambled eggs with green peppers and onions, home fries and sausage, topped with cheddar cheese and sausage gravy). Plenty for each of us! Definitely worth the money. The only complaint I had was that for the size of the restaurant there is only one restroom stall per gender and when I went in there was no soap. One of the waitresses had just left there, which surprised me because there seemed to be separate employee bathrooms. Told her about it and another person from my party went to the bathroom and said that it still had not been replaced. There were plenty of servers this morning so I was a bit disappointed that the soap situation was not resolved while we were there. Other than that, food wise, it was a delightful experience.

    Country Cookin Diner-Rockledge- 0.5-Stars ****SWILL ALERT**** "I will eat disgusting things, but only those with long-established culinary traditions." -- Dana Goodyear I abhor national chain restaurants, which is why you will never see a BBDO review for Chili's or, *shudder* Olive Garden. However, small local chains are something I do like to see, at least when they are slingin' quality slop, for nothing pleases me more than local entrepreneurial success. So, when Country Cookin' Diner showed up on my random generator, I was actually looking forward to trying their fare, with three locations I figured they must be doing something right. Judging by how packed their parking lot was in Rockledge at 9:43 in the morning, I again thought that they must be serving at the least, average foodstuffs, if not downright good grub. Upon entering I was greeted warmly enough and didn't have too long of a wait before I was seated. Turning my avid eyes towards their menu I found nothing extravagant, just your average diner fare, being a sybarite, I grudgingly came to the conclusion that there would be no eggs Benedict with fresh lox and homemade Hollandaise sauce this morning, but if the home fries were good, I could live with that. Soon enough I was greeted by a charming individual who introduced herself as Keely and asked me if I had any questions or was I ready to order. Keely, as mentioned, was charming as well as diligent and honest. Her service was the saving grace to be sure, but I get ahead of myself. I asked Keely if I could have the Country Fried Steak and eggs (over medium) with home fries, a medium-rare Patty Melt and a side of biscuits and gravy. As Keely scampered off to place my order, I took the opportunity to glance about the place. It was clean, tidy, well lit and did have a certain "homey" feel. If we at BBDO rated such things as ambiance, this place would be above average for a greasy spoon type diner. Considering how busy the place was, my food was brought out within an acceptable amount of time. As one can see by the photos, everything looked as it should and was not unappealing to the eye. However, once again, we at BBDO don't give all that much credit to the presentation, to us, it's all about the execution. First up on the Big Boy palate was the Country Fried Steak and eggs breakfast platter. Man, that sounds good, does it not? Alas, it was far from good and as it turned out, just this side of edible. The home fries were flavorless discs of carbohydrates, the steak was the proverbial hockey puck of grossness, while the gravy had that unmistakable made fresh from the packet taste. At least the eggs were satisfactorily cooked over medium and didn't taste bad. Turning my attentive taste buds towards the Patty Melt, I first pulled it apart to look at the patty itself. Did it look homemade? No, no it did not. Did it taste freshly made in the back? Again, no it did not. This was so disgusting that I had to spit it out. The fries were unmistakable the frozen not fresh variety and while they were deep-fried to a beautiful golden brown, they were completely flavorless. One bite and I was ready to move on to the final item up for review, the side of biscuits and gravy. At this point in the meal, I had a fair idea that the biscuits would be of the frozen plug and play type and I was not wrong in this assumption. They were flat and had that unmistakable fresh from the freezer after taste we have all come to know and love. The gravy was the same reconstituted flavorless powder crap they served with the Country Fried Steak and I assure you, it didn't taste any better here. It really isn't all that hard to make a gravy from scratch, nor is it all that difficult (as past reviews have noted) to make powdered gravy at the least palatable, with the right doctoring and execution. The fact that they have expanded to three locations does not speak to their fare, but rather is a testament to how little the bulk of humanity cares about quality food. I firmly stand behind my swill alert and 1/2-star rating. The Big Boy says, "this is swill through and through and should be avoided at all cost." Just to further drive home the point on how bad this stuff was, I actually stopped at a McDonald's on the way home to wash the horrid aftertaste from my mouth. That's right, I cleansed my palate with a Big Mac. That speaks volumes to the horrendous swill I had been served at the Country Cookin' Diner in Rockledge. #bigboydiningout #iamthebigboy

    Blackened chicken sandwich
    Nicolas T.

    This place might not live up to the standards of grown men who refer to themselves as "The Big Boy," but it's a damn good diner. It was packed when I came in for lunch alone, but they still sat me promptly and didn't grumble about me being by myself. The servers were super friendly, not just to me but also some older disabled veterans who were sitting nearby. That's something you really love to see. I started with the beef vegetable soup which tasted totally homemade. It had large pieces of cabbage which added great texture alongside the corn and carrots. For my meal I went with a blackened chicken sandwich and it was superb. Chicken was heavy in flavor but not over-seasoned and all the elements of the sandwich came together well. I can see why it's a popular hotspot in Rockledge and I hope to return soon.

    An omelet,  biscuits and gravy,  and corned beef hash, eggs over easy with hash browns. Good stuff!
    Jen B.

    I was in need of a good place to grab some breakfast and thanks to my Yelp app we found this diner tucked away in a strip-mall. The place was packed at 10:30 on a Thursday morning. That is a good sign in my book. Our server was sweet and attentive. I had some eggs and corned-beef hash, my wife got an omelet. Both were delicious and super filling. Their coffee was good and strong. This was just the place we needed. Thanks my fellow Yelpers!

    Just like homemade

    Good down home Southern comfort cooking that even a New Yorker can appreciate . First time I tasted country fried steak. Tastes like a veal cutlet. Great service here .. lots of regulars. Second time here and I will be back.

    bacon & egg sandwich
    April D.

    cute diner , very clean. Great breakfast ! Fast service. Bacon was crisp and delicious. The strawberry belgian waffles are AMAZING !! Don't let the strip mall location deter you -step inside , have a seat!

    Because it's America
    Alexa C.

    Good ol' wholesome dining in a warm and hospitable setting with oodles of comfort food and loads of potatoes. There's just something so delicious about country southern food that stirs my soul. Everyone is so proper and nice. They might be located in a strip mall but don't judge it by that. Whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner- this place serves up a nice hot meal at a bargain for the serving. The sausage gravy alone is worth the trip and you can get a dipping portion of it for your toast so you can see why it's worth your time. Heck, they even have beer during breakfast time. It's not a fancy spot, it's a yummy and indulgent place where the dress code is nonexistent and the coffee is bottomless. A simple diner with character and savory dishes you just can't order anywhere. Low key yet genuine- I'm a fan.

    Mimi was our server and was excellent, very knowledgeable and helpful…read more One of us ordered the meatloaf along with 2 sides, broccoli and baked potato. There was plenty to take home and have a second meal, and she said it was all delicious. I ordered the soup (clam chowder) and house Caesar. The soup was nice and hot and tasted great. The salad was good, though a tad heavy on the dressing. A general note about Miller's and its kids' menu: I have eaten at a few of these places around the state, and I find their policy about adults eating off the kids' menu to be weird. Some servers are fine with it and some claim management won't let them allow you to order of the other menu. Most items on the kids' menu cost about $8. The (adult) meatloaf is $8.50. The fish and chips are $7.99. So, what is the big deal about an adult ordering off the kids' menu if the costs are the same? Some of us don't want a 1/2 pound burger. The kids' menu has a 1/4 lb. burger. Also, we sometime dine with our disabled nephews, and they usually prefer "kid friendly" dishes. I wish Miller's would review this policy.

    Not a good visit. Maybe we caught them on a bad night. The food ranged from mid to not good,…read morewhile the prices were high for what we got. The staff were very busy, maybe shorthanded? But the mood was friendly. Like I said, may have just been a bad night.

Marker 24 is in a residential area and accessible by land, as this restaurant is on a waterfront, and most diners pull up in the little boats. There is indoor and outdoor dining; we saw a few people outdoors but it was chilly when we were there, so we opted for indoor seating. A few stalls for parking across the street, parking stalls divided by little fish painted on the ground, which was a cute touch. Happy hour was spectacular, with buy-one-get-one-free drinks and the food prices were super reasonable to us (coming from Hawaii, where everything is super expensive). My husband ordered a Spicy Mahi Sandwich with Potato Chips (instead of fries, that's how it came) for $20 and I got a roasted mushroom flat-bread pizza for $15.00 and our appetizer was the smoked fish dip for $15.00 which came highly recommended, and we did love it, but when we saw the crackers, we were laughing. We were expecting bread or flatbread, but that's just fine, being a waterfront casual restaurant. Total bill = $70.62 without tip. Everything was delicious, no complaints. Service was attentive and friendly. After dinner we took a stroll out to the back of the restaurant onto the pier and watched the sun go down. If we lived in the area, we would visit frequently!

    An eclectic menu done right!…read more LongDoggers is one of those rare places with an eclectic menu where everything we've tried actually works. We've all been to restaurants with big menus that only execute one category well--or where the American food is solid but anything outside of that completely misses the mark. That hasn't been our experience here. This was our second visit. Two years ago, we happened upon LongDoggers while traveling to the drive-thru Bethlehem at Lakewood Park Church (which is phenomenal and highly recommended). Heading down again for the same event, we considered trying somewhere new, but the good memories of LongDoggers brought us right back. The atmosphere is casual with a bit of a sports-bar vibe, and the food is genuinely good. No photos this time because we were way too hungry to wait the extra five seconds , but I did grab pictures of the menu. Our table ordered the Blackened Shrimp Lettuce Tacos, a Banzai Shrimp Bowl, the Cool Ranch Chicken Sandwich, and a Buffalo Chicken Wrap. Every item was a hit. Entrées were $15 and up, especially with upgrades, and meals come with kettle chips. Service was another plus. Our waitress was friendly and attentive without hovering--prompt but not overbearing--and she shared the specials and offered recommendations. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. We stopped in around 1:00 pm on a Saturday and were seated right away inside at a booth-style table. By the time we left, there was a clear line and a wait. If you're passing through or looking for a casual spot with a varied menu that's executed well, LongDoggers is absolutely worth the stop.
