Take my advice and make a reservation, especially if you're visiting on a weekend. This place is hoppin'. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the kindest woman and seated quickly. Our waitress was warm, attentive, and genuinely lovely. Now, come in knowing this: the food is to die for, but there will be a wait, and it's 100% worth it. Your server won't let your drink run empty, the atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, and patience is rewarded here. We ordered the pot roast and the salmon. The pot roast was melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and the salmon was cooked to absolute perfection. I'm really hoping we can get in for brunch today, but I didn't make a reservation... rookie mistake on my part. Don't pass this place up. I've been coming to Lava for nearly 20 years, and Rogue Restaurant is officially my new favorite.

Dinner first time was good, but the kitchen messed up my order. What I got was not what I ordered. I hate sending food back to the kitchen, so I ate it anyway. The second time I had dinner was really good. I chose the filet with mash. I tweaked it a little by asking for a side of their pesto cream sauce from pasta entree, and add wasabi to the mashers. No problem. It was a really great combo. Steak was cooked perfectly. Also, the vegies were fresh and delish. I got the housemade carrot cake to go, and it was perfect. My waiter was excellant. Thank you.

The food here was absolutely awesome and earned smiles around the table. My mother-in-law really enjoyed the strawberry crepes and my wife and I both loved the steak and eggs. Kari was an absolutely awesome server too. We always run into problems, especially with breakfast due to some dairy issues that we both share and Kari was very pleasant and accommodating to ensure we were taken care of. Definitely get here early because the locals definitely know how good it is. By time we were done, there was a huge line out the door. Absolutely crushed it!

The food was okay-if a little bland on the hashbrown gravy. However, prior to getting our meal half of the dining room we were in was closed off and before we finished our meal (a good 45 minutes before closing) they were vacumning on the other side of the partition they'd pulled across. Not particularly welcoming, Elmer's and it's not the first time it has happened to us. This doesn't even include the table full of tomorrow's set ups that employees were working and gabbing at. Ultimately, either you're open or you're not. Vacumning around people trying to eat is rude. Be better.

They also had some cookies and pastries. Some of the photos said they were take-out only, but they must've recently added their little seating area. They had a "warming shack" seating area with space heaters and plastic tarps blocking out the weather. We kept our coats and hats on, but we were able to eat comfortably in this little area! It looks like they have some additional patio furniture seating for the warmer weather as well. There were only 4 or 5 tables inside. We were there around 12pm on a Sunday and we had the whole space to ourselves. I got the veggie breakfast burrito, which wasn't on the menu! I had originally ordered their regular breakfast burrito without meat, and they let me know they have a veggie option with eggs, cheese, hash browns, onions, and peppers. You can upgrade your order and get two hash browns and a drink, which we did. GET THE HASH BROWNS HERE!!! If you get one thing, make sure it's the hash browns. I don't even think I got a pic of them cause we ate them so quickly. They were perfectly seasoned and perfectly crispy and delicious. We almost ordered another order of them, but we were too full.

I've had breakfast here before and enjoyed it, and the server was excellent and very helpful. She recommended the chicken fried steak dinner, which I usually love, so I decided to give it another try despite not liking it years ago. Unfortunately, the food tasted very greasy and bland. The gravy had an odd, artificial flavor, and nothing tasted fresh, including the corn. The mashed potatoes had a good texture but lacked flavor, and the salad was okay, though I didn't care for the pickles on it. Overall, I couldn't get past the greasy, flavorless taste of the meal. Everything had that same weird taste that's difficult to describe. I'm guessing it was cheap grease/oil.
