is it closed for good?

2/6/2008 12:20:58 PM

First I've heard of it...

2/6/2008 12:59:34 PM

Was that place any good? Maybe they could put something worthwhile in there.

2/6/2008 1:02:08 PM

their onion rings used to be awesome

2/6/2008 1:07:59 PM

we walked by during lunch today and there was a sign on the door saying closed and also where you could redeem your gift cards, but no reason.

2/6/2008 1:26:19 PM

WHAT????????

jesus I've been going to rockola since I started at state in the 90's

2/6/2008 1:33:48 PM

thats weird. I havn't been in months, but it seemed like their business had actually improved since they revamped the menu a year or two ago. Its actually a chain though, I think there is another one in Garner somewhere.

2/6/2008 1:39:03 PM

used to go there occasionally when i lived in Avent Ferry Dorms. Even as a poor college student I knew that place sucked

2/6/2008 1:40:20 PM

OMG wow, I just drove by there on Saturday and the parking lot was full. That was the first time I'd been in Raleight for months.

Isnt that where we met?

2/6/2008 1:41:15 PM

i didn't even know there was a rockola in raleigh. i went to the one in greensboro once.

2/6/2008 1:55:30 PM

WHAT?!?!

i don't see why... that place usually had a sizeable crowd every time i drove by...

they had some dank chicken strips.

2/6/2008 1:59:13 PM

their rolls w/ the cinnamon butter are awesome, maybe even better than golden corral's rolls

2/6/2008 2:05:21 PM

there's one on six forks too.

2/6/2008 2:20:24 PM

looool the one on six forks closed a couple of years ago

2/6/2008 2:22:53 PM

shows how much i eat at rock ola.

2/6/2008 2:25:16 PM

I hate that they closed down Darryls, too.

Super Snack Attack FTW

2/6/2008 2:29:51 PM

haha yeah we did get food at Rockola once... I had met you once before at Ruckus.

2/6/2008 2:34:34 PM

I wish they would put an ale house there.

2/6/2008 3:10:16 PM

^ugh one of the most overrated places ever.

^ thank you.

2/6/2008 3:16:40 PM

I used to go to Rock-Ola in Greensboro all the time with the family when I was growing up, but that location (West Market & Muirs Chapel) is long gone, and I think the other Greensboro location on Battleground closed also. Kinda sad that this one is closing too--I watched the State-UNC basketball game there back in '98 when we won 86-72. I wasn't even a freshman, was here with the parents on a visit...

agree 100%

2/6/2008 4:36:35 PM

I've heard their best performing one around here is actually Asheboro's... but that was before they got a Chili's which I'm sure took away from their business significantly

2/6/2008 4:49:01 PM

man the old one in charlotte was awesome, i used to go there all the time. I remember it being so big inside for some reason, i loved that place.

The one in raleigh was only so so.

2/6/2008 4:57:41 PM

anybody else really like their steak and cheese sandwiches? They had some damn good cheese

2/6/2008 5:02:50 PM

the one in Garner is still open...

i worked there 8-9 years ago in HS

2/6/2008 5:07:54 PM

I used to love the one in wilmington before they tried to make it an "upscale" restuarant. though I totally agree with the comment on the rolls and cinnamon butter

2/6/2008 5:12:45 PM

everytime I see Harry Brathwaite (creator of Goodberry's) I tell him he needs to open one up close to campus

I really think a Goodberry's at the old Rockola location would make a killing

2/6/2008 5:18:24 PM

damn i was just thinking to myself that that place sucked the other day....kinda freakin me out now

2/6/2008 5:41:15 PM

my wife waited tables for a while there several years ago. she said one of the best performing ones was the one in wilmington.

2/6/2008 5:42:21 PM

well ncstate ice creem is 1 dollar for 2 scoops. baskin robins on hboro is like twice as much and goodberrys is like 4 times as mcuh. you be the judge.

2/6/2008 7:44:01 PM

where the hell do you get NC State ice cream??

2/6/2008 7:47:48 PM

Talley Student Center C-Store has the ice-cream shop in it.
Man, now i want some. One of the few things i only had 1-2 times at NCSU.

2/6/2008 7:48:44 PM

oh, it's not a real store.

2/6/2008 7:53:11 PM

No, but it's real ice cream so who the hell cares?

2/6/2008 7:55:49 PM

apparently you can buy the nc state ice cream in bulk

2/6/2008 8:02:01 PM

ya that is what they sell in the c-store

2/6/2008 8:44:28 PM

^^that just made my night

2/6/2008 8:47:20 PM

oh yeah, speaking of ice cream




What happened to rockola?

2/6/2008 9:05:23 PM

I used to go to the one @ Celebration @ Six Forks. They closed that one a looooong time ago though. Food sucked, but nice to have around when you were in college.

2/6/2008 9:52:19 PM

so 3 gallons for 27 bucks...is that worth it?

2/6/2008 9:54:37 PM

One of my friends worked there closed Monday night and everything was normal. Went to work Tuesday morning and there was the signed that they closed on the door. He went in and they told him that if he wanted to make a little extra money he could stay and clean up....right when he found out he no longer had a job...he left.

2/6/2008 10:33:36 PM

^ Damn that sucks.

The loaded cheese fries were great, and the cheeseburgers were fantastic. Sad to see it go.

2/6/2008 10:51:27 PM

Their loaded cheese fries were stellar. RIP Mission Valley Rockola.

2/6/2008 11:16:45 PM

I still think that place sucked.

2/6/2008 11:23:25 PM

they charged like 2.25 for a soda and at a time years ago they didn't give refills


my friend would give me hell (when I was under 21 long ago) b/c it was cheaper to get a beer and get it refilled then it was to buy a diet coke

[Edited on February 6, 2008 at 11:35 PM. Reason : .]

2/6/2008 11:23:40 PM

I got an undercooked burger there once.

Ate it anyway, I was hungry, and it took forever to come out.

Shit my brains out for two days.

2/6/2008 11:26:50 PM

i didnt go that often, but the food there was actually pretty good

2/6/2008 11:50:55 PM

Rockola at Celebration at Six Forks closed down 3 years ago because of sanitation problems.

a girl in the grade above me was a waitress there when they shut down.

2/6/2008 11:55:30 PM

it always seemed busy too..

whats up lately with places being packed, yet failing....

see amedo's, damon's, rockola, etc
