It was great best burger I have had in quite some time

Stopped here last week for the first time traveling for work and wow! Very impressive for a cafe! Food was fresh and made to order! Took a little time but you know the foods good when it’ takes a little while and comes out fresh and hot! Well worth the wait and well worth stopping by! Plenty of options and great quality!

My dad and I stopped here before we headed to an estate sale in the area! Very good food and a friendly atmosphere!

Friendly greeting. HOT, tasty burgers and fries. Attentive service. Reasonable prices. If you’re traveling thru Yadkinville on Hwy 421 (as we were) it’s worth taking exit 257 and driving the 3.5 miles to this small, no-frills cafe.

I have visited Rowdy's many times for dine in and take out. I love the atmosphere and the people. It doesn't matter if you get breakfast, lunch, or dinner; they have a good selection. It is my opinion that breakfast is where they truly shine and that they have the best pancakes on the planet! The fried livermush is excellent. They are happy to make a livermush omelet if you ask and like that sort of thing. They also have the keto plate with either chicken or steak--something you don't find most places. It isn't big and it isn't fancy but it has a charm I feel most places don't have.

We are so happy we discovered Rowdy's Cafe! We love to have the option of ordering direct from their website to get delivery here in Mocksville. They have a great menu with so many options, even Keto! We often make large orders with multiple plates, subs, burgers, sides and even breakfast sandwiches for the next day and every order arrives quickly, hot and 100% correct. Love supporting a local business that does it right every time and provides us with so many tasty options.

Small hole in the wall type place. Atmosphere was calm. Good fresh and hot. Expedient service.

Some of the best home style cooking around ! Def one of my favorite places!
