Vote The Rock Cafe

For the fifth year, American Express and the National Trust for Historic Preservation are partnering to support 50 small, independently owned restaurants across the nation through the Backing Historic Small Restaurants grant program. Each selected restaurant—recognized for its contribution to the unique character and history of its community—will receive $50,000 in funding to enhance their business and strengthen their local impact.

The Rock Cafe is proud to be preparing an application for this incredible opportunity—but we need your help!
