I think it came from a cheesy early 80's sci-fi flick. Full quote is something like - "Just eat through the bars" "I'm a rock eater, not a bar eater, I eat rocks." Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
"Rock Biter?"
The Neverending Story?
I don't recall there being any scene in The NeverEnding Story in which the rock biter had to break out of prison (have to be a pretty damn big jail cell) or anything like that. Don't think it was in the awful sequel either, though I think there are more (animated?) NeverEnding Story movies that were released straight to video. Maybe there.
I think that this might be Rock Biter Junior from "The Neverending Story III" (Eeekkk!), but I do not have a copy of the film on hand to verify.

The third one has the whole Bastian gang trapped in a department store or something. I tried to block it out. It's not-so old.
The only other rock-lovin' character from an 80's movie I can think of is the big thing from Labyrinth. There's a scene where he gets stuck in a jail cell, and sings to some rocks so they set he and Jennifer Connelly free.
File Neverending Stories 2 & 3 away (far far away) with The Skateboard Kid.
Stop reminding me of these movies. Man that was bad. I mean, A TALKING SKATEBOARD?!? And why do things come to life by being hit by lightning in these movies?
This is from Galaxina (1980) starring the late Dorothy Stratten. Dorothy Stratten was a 20 year old Playboy Playmate of the Year who was murdered by her husband/manager Paul Snyder shortly after the movie was finished, The Rock- Eater was a prisoner on the Police space cruiser she piloted in the movie.
