The Rock Cafe

Good food. Great selections. These college kids don't know how lucky they have it!

So delicious, affordable and abundant! Other posts saying there was no variety of food must have come at a very odd time. The restaurant is on a college campus with many students as employees, so it stands to reason that there will be times that not all of the food stations are open. A+++

The staff stands out! I am ALWAYS impressed with the friendly, courteous and kind staff members at The Rock. The food is of excellent quality! I saw the staff taking food temperature measurements today, which indicates attention to detail. I like that. Highly recommended!

Just found this hidden gem today. It's on the campus of Ferris State University. It's a little bit of a drive to Big Rapids but if you're going by there it's not far from 131 and definitely worth the stop. Even if you're thinking of taking a road trip just to get out of town, this is a good destination. I like to take the slower, more scenic 44/Wolverine Blvd./Northland Dr. to go north. They are open 7 days from 7a.m. for breakfast and don't close til midnight. It is a buffet with a Mongolian grill also. It's less than $11.00 per person, including a drink. There is a large variety of things to eat and drink. A lot of it is self serve, but there are people working behind the counters that are willing to help you with anything you need. You put your own dirty dishes on a conveyor towards the back of the restaurant. The restaurant is huge (the picture showing the inside of the restaurant is only about half of it. There's another side off to the right and an enclosed dining room.) and kept very clean. The french fries were cold but everything else was fresh and delicious. We went Saturday on Memorial day weekend at about 4:00p.m. and it wasn't too busy. But when we were leaving at around 6:00p.m. it was getting really busy by families with lots of kids. Check it out!

What a great variety of food for any taste at a great price and buffet style! The cost was very affordable and the food was delicious and fresh. I want to go back and hope they go nationwide.
