There are some major food critics in the reviews of this place. Rockwells is a family friendly spot where you can get some simple breakfasts before hitting the beach all day. They are incredibly busy (which is amazing for them!) so like any busy restaurant you will have to wait until your turn. This place is not
meant to be fine dining. The staff has always been kind to me, coffee is solid, and I appreciate the location!

I
ordered my birthday cake from Rockwell Bakery, and they did an amazing job. They were quick, professional, and made exactly what I asked for. The whole process was easy, and they really delivered on what I had in mind.
The cake looked beautiful and tasted great, and it made my birthday even more special. It’s clear they care about getting things right for their customers.
Highly recommend them if you need a custom cake — they’re reliable and do great work.

Stood at hostess stand wanting a table for 6 minutes while seemingly drunk bartender turned around to look at me, then proceeded to ignore me while she talked to a couple sitting down about car maintenance for an uncomfortably long time. A waitress passed me twice with an unhappy look on her face without acknowledging me. I had come inside after waiting outside on the patio for someone to notice me with my dog for ten minutes?! Super weird. Took a photo after I left just in case the owner sees this - here is who was standing in proximity of the hostess stand while not acknowledging me. All anyone had to do was say something like “be right with you”. Only 4 tables were seated so it wasn’t like they were slammed. 2 bartenders and 2 waitresses - all ignored. Twilight zone.

I love their brioche cinnamon roll! Best cinnamon roll ever! I had gotten the chilaquiles which was also very tasty.

The experience overall was ok. I would try it one more time, but was not wowed.
They serve breakfast all day, so I got the corned beef hash, eggs, and hash-browns. It was fine. Nothing special. And bland overall. Hot sauce was necessary.
My friend got the ahi salad. The tuna was very dry and tough
