The food is not bad, but whenever I have ordered from there, and asked for no dill pickle in the box, one would always be in it. I hate pickles. Today, I made it very clear in the instructions that I don't want any pickles and don't want the dill pickle getting pickle juice on my fries. When I received my order, the box was covered in rude and snarky comments such as, "pickle phobia", "NO PICKLES and she means it!", "absolutely not one pickle", "not 1 pickle", and inside the box it read, "No pickles here either!". I will not be ordering anything else from them ever.

Cute yellow cat decor

One of the best places for breakfast in town. Service is friendly and helpful. I like my scrambled eggs, cooked but not browned, at all, and they are always cooked as requested. The same with the bacon, it's not too hard and it's not too soft, just right. They also have the best homemade breakfast sausage. I love hot sauce on my eggs and there are tons to choose from, not just Tabasco like a lot of places have. The prices are reasonable for the quality of food you receive. It's not overly loud, which I also love. I also really love that the owner or manager comes around and checks on you.

Breakfast burrito

This is a great, little locally owned spot with your standard diner breakfast and lunch fare at a great price. Bring your patience as there is usually a wait and slow service during peak hours on the weekend. Our most recent visit was a Saturday morning around 10:15. Our wait for a table was only about 10 minutes, but once seated it was 20 minutes before our waitress had time to get to us and then close to an hour before we had our food. Not ideal, but understandable given the fact that almost everyone is short staffed. Prices are very reasonable ($18 for two huge breakfasts) and service is friendly.

Hot Chocolate

I went in with my family for a Sunday brunch and they are super pack. However, people keep moving in and out fairly quick and the wait is not too bad. I highly recommend the Hot Chocolate. It came in a random cup and I happen to get it in a beer mug. It topped with whipped cream, along with chocolate drizzle with Gold and Blue sparkles [given it was Notre Dame home game weekend] The Two Eggs with Corned Beef Hash just hit the spot, along with the hash brown and 2 slides of toast. Totally love this intimate diner. The server is super friendly and attentive. The only downside is the parking can be a bit hectic during busy hours.

German Special
Cam G.

This food was soooo goood. I can't stop thinking about it actually. Both my bf and I got the German special. It's also sooo cute in there, and each table has its own unique salt and pepper shaker. When I commented on the aesthetic of the place to a waitress, she said, "oh yeah I love it - it's home." And if that doesn't make your heart melt idk what will

I stopped in a few weeks ago when in town for a job interview. Service and food were in point. Daily specials and good selection in the menu. Biscuits and gravy are very good. Everything is cooked fresh to order. If you are looking for a good breakfast spot this is your place. They have lunch also but not tried it yet. I am a breakfast guy.

In the Morris Inn, Rohr's is a classy spot for a nice meal in campus. The menu isn't extensive but…read morethere are a lot of solid options. I had the burger and fries (nothing fancy), and it was delicious. It's a great departure from the basic college food spots around ND's campus. Wait staff were amazing and the manager stopped in and checked on us as well. I'll definitely be back.

Came here for a business lunch with some customers. I do have to say this place is cool! It's right…read moreon the Notre Dame campus in the hotel. You drive up to the awning and a valet opens the gates for you to park. We had reservations. It was very crowded. I am told it's not typically that crowded. It was hard to hear it was so loud. Menu is large. Prices are higher. Be ready. I got the large chopped salad. It wasn't that large for $18. I changed out the dressing to ranch because I did not want the garlic salad dressing. Glad I did. The salad was ok. The salami was smokey it added to the veggies. But for the price it was small and disappointing. 2 people got the prime rib sandwich and it was pretty sloppy. It's better to eat with a knife and fork. I was told it was good. The sweet potato fries have cayenne pepper on them. The chopped salad with tofu was also disappointing. The tofu had a weird bbq type sauce. The server was nice and she was fine. The atmosphere is more high scale. Just disappointed in the taste of the food and portion to cost. Cool experience being on campus but you're paying for it.
