Wow!! My dad & I drove 12 hrs or so from Camden SC we were hungry & tired the morning we woke up in Owego. Found this tiny gem 💎 of a place to eat! My dad ordered sausage gravy over biscuits and loved it so much he talked about it for the next three days! I ordered a western omelet and it was amazing! The potatoes with it were so tasty.. You guys deserve 10 stars honestly. Our wait time to be seated was a little aggravating 😂 because the place was packed and I was tired from the drive and hungry BUT we were so pleased with the atmosphere and cuteness of the place and such delicious food the time we waited for a seat doesn't even matter. We thank you guys for such a great experience and great food. We live far away but will always stop in here now when we travel north. Thank you again!! Loved the adorable coffee mugs too! We were there on 8/18/24

First time here, it definitely won't be our last. Super friendly staff, clean and comfortable atmosphere, and the food was absolutely fantastic. From entering to eating, maybe 10 minutes total. Just amazing service, and both meals were delicious. One of the tastiest marinated chicken sandwiches I've had in a long time, and killer fries. If you are passing through the Owego area and are looking for a bite, I highly recommend the River Rock Diner.

This was a beautiful place by the river in Owego. They had both indoor and outdoor seating areas and took both cash and cards. There was plenty of parking and the staff was very very friendly and attentive. The food was outstanding, very prompt, and extremely reasonable in pricing. The serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner with adult and children menu options.

Good prices. My omelet tasted great, it had onions, peppers and sausage gravy over it. The service was SO FAST! I ordered my food and I swear within 5 minutes my omelet was in front of me and piping hot! I was amazed.

Today was our first visit and it was great! Nice service, great menu, and the food was fantastic. We had sausage gravy/biscuits, a breakfast burrito, and the best home fries I've ever had! I asked for crispy and they were perfect. We'll be back!

Great small town diner. Fresh food. Great and attentive service. For outsiders like us, dont let the outside fool you. You park in the back,took me a bit to figure that out, and walk up some steps passing a few tables and chairs for outside dining. On a nice day would be great to watch the river and eat. Great food, great service and clean overall. We will be back, this is our new stop on our vacation travels.
