It appears,. am going w a four for now. Appears they've just reopened, (October 16 202 0) Well, this establishment has been around a long time, and I'm going to miss the pre covid Rogers; 1st though / past reviews complained about slow service, and having to use cash, since using charge was not an option. Well that among other things hanged. New owner Ashley chose to remodel the old Rogers; gone is the luncheon counter, which could seat 6, and 4 person booths. The interior now has an antiseptic look and feel to it. Modern registers, shiny new appliances,, tables, chairs.
Tiled walls; it doesn't feel like the old diner-style Rogers, because it's not. It's changed to meet post covid. Looking around today, and counting heads, the entire restaurant can hold 12 people (more or less) when once the front section alone could seat over 20. I can't help wondering how it's going to survive with such limited seating and little turnover. Maybe they're counting on taking out. They kept the old ceramic coffee mugs, and that's a good thing, but large, the ceramic plates have been replaced with plastic. Service was slow today, but they're two days in with a new staff. - Given there were roughly a dozen people seated and three waitresses...there's room for improvement. Prices went up a bit, but you can still get a full breakfast, w toast, a muffin, and coffee for under 9.00 dollars. That's pretty good, ok. :-) in my book. I hope they make a go of it.
Oh, the breakfast, was good, cooked and presented well on the plate, a trophy meal, reminded me of a Dennys, Ihop, or Newport Creamery breakfast. I miss the old soaked in butter garlic, and paprika tasting and sometimes slightly greasy, sometimes burned around the edges home fries, lol - fortunately the toast was a little burned, so good to know not everything changed. Coffee wasn't that great, whatever brand
they use now, bleach! C(_) Does come with the meal, so suck it up.. I hope they make it in this post Covid world, I really do. read more
