Central Cafe

The service was quick and very pleasant. The food was amazing. I've only ever had their lunch, but their breakfast is just as good. 👌

Very slow and mediocre food. White patrons kept looking at me like I didn't belong there. Definitely will never eat there again.

CENTRAL CAFE - The food steps up and the place steps back in time...GREAT!

A slightly different aspect is what I want to help uncover, a few joints or as we've called them for years, "jaints" just outside the Triangle cities, that are just a good drive away or if have to go to nearby towns.

Until today, it was years ago since I last ate in the Central Café operated by the Hardy family in Rocky Mount, NC since 1926. That's right 1926 as in after WWI but before WWII. Some call it the "Corner Café" but it is Central.

I had really great bacon, delicious scrambled eggs, good grits and whole wheat toast, all fresh, all hot, and real restaurant grade coffee! Everybody, including the help, spoke to everybody else, too!

Before leaving Rocky Mount several folks said that the Central Café, located on the corner of South Church St and Western Avenue has the very best hot dogs and cheeseburgers in town.

The Central Café with its high-back painted wooden seats clearly points to days gone by and you know, that felt pretty good, especially reading the menu listed on a Pepsi board! If I lived in Rocky Mount, I'd be a regular and am glad that while on business there, I drove by 15 restaurants (debatable definition) to get the café. You should, too!

Over charged from the menu amount and waited over 35 minutes for two burgers. Have eaten there many many times but won't be back.

Great burgers and staff.

Very good homemade burgers and delicious hotdogs....the ice is shaved! Great food

Get the chilli.....on everything! Tried and true Rocky Mount legend. Good burgers, good dogs, great prices!!

Nice place old timer food love it first time here but not last for sure

Food is always hot. Food flavor is okay. Customer service needs improvement. I still would recommend.

Best place around for hot dogs and burgers. Staff is friendly and really laid back.
