Stumbled upon this place unexpectedly, and very glad we did. The service and food was excellent. It’s also veteran owned. The owner came up to us and made sure everything we had was satisfactory. Very nice man and war hero. The fried bologna sandwich and eggs & corned beef hash were amazing. I also had a Tibetan coffee, which was a first. That was interesting, but very good. We plan on returning next time we’re in the area.

Rosie’s Home Cookin’ couldn’t have been any better, it was all that and a Big Apple Pancake! As soon as you walk up, you can instantly sense the pride in everything they do! From the signage to the warm and friendly good morning, you feel like you’re right where you need to be and amongst family.
I met a couple of fellow veterans so right out of the gate, the company was off the charts! The biggest challenge I had was where to start with that menu of theirs! Literally everything looked tasty and the smells wafting from the kitchen were like something out of a Warner Bros cartoon and I was Bugs Bunny with no control!
I opted to start with the Southwest Chihuahua Cheese Omelette and added the chorizo and copious amounts of their mouthwatering salsa for a topper! It came with 3 melt in your mouth pancakes and the best bottomless cup of coffee I’d had since I’d sailed the seven seas in Uncle Sam’s Navy! We added a Rosie’s Big Apple Pancake because it smelled like heaven and I’ve never been so happy with a fork and knife in my hand! I grabbed a dairy-free AND gluten-free order of flapjacks and a waffle to go and I don’t feel like I’ll need to eat for a week…
I’m definitely going back to experience the Fried Bologna Sandwich with a side of Officer Mullins Applesauce and will be forced to get the Hot Meatloaf Sandwich to go so they don’t have to roll me out of the joint!!
Don’t walk but run (at a full sprint) to this little slice of culinary heaven ASAP, I only wish I could find that 6-star button to accurately give them their props, just plain awesome!!

This place is fantastic. It was our first time eating here. The owner (Lynn) met us at the door and welcomed us in. It is a military friendly restaurant. Lynn served in the Marine Corps. The restaurant is set in an old style diner atmosphere. They give you a large portion for your money. The food is fresh and taste great. The staff was great and friendly as well. This has to be one of the best places around to eat at. I would definitely recommend you stop by and eat here and we’ll be back for sure. Definitely a 5 star restaurant.

Bit of nostalgia….delicious, clean, fresh, and comfortable. The omelettes are huge, pancakes are soft warm and fluffy. So many great options. Freshly made chicken sausage was fantastic. Has this 50s diner feel. Veteran owned and operated…another great reason to stop by. Servers are crisp and sharp. Tucked away, so look for the “Rosie’s” replica. Definitely worth your tummy time! Oh…they have fried bologna sandwiches!!!!

I’m a tad late in posting a review for Rosie’s Home Cooking. Went for breakfast with my sisters beginning of February. I had the apple pancake and I can say it was the BEST I’ve had. My one sister had the lemon pancake and it was absolutely delish. My other sister had an omelet, it was light, fluffy and so very very good. Our servers were Emma and Juan, who were both courteous and friendly. I travelled about 40 minutes to get there and will happily go there again. Everything and everyone was exceptional.

This was our first visit, recommended from Fair Oaks Ford, while we waited for our car to be fixed. The food has great flavor. You can tell they really season the food well. The potatoes had great taste, but they we’re only half cooked. I’m not sure if that is the way they we’re supposed to be? The portion sizes of our meals seem very generous and as I looked at other people’s they also looked generous. The biggest complaint I have is the prices seem very high!

8/5/25 update:
I had the Denver & cheddar cheese omelette. The size was pretty big and it came with 3 pancakes. It was filling and the taste was good. Prices were reasonable. Service was very attentive, much better than last time.
———————————————————-
At first, i was waiting a couple mins and no one helped me at the door, that’s why I took off one star. However, once I got seated the service was great. My drinks were never empty. Food was delicious. Pancakes without any butter or syrup, had a nice buttery taste. The chili cheddar cheese omelet I had had ample portions and very flavorful. I like the way they made the omelet, very fluffy. I read people said this place was overpriced, they clearly have not been out to too many breakfast places, the prices are very typical. There is a thing called inflation. If you want super cheap, go to a fast food place.

Overall, our experience at Rosie’s this morning was very disappointing. The staff was friendly and the ambiance is so inviting, with a lot of veteran stuff hung around, which is nice. The problem is the food: it’s awful. I ordered Biscuits & Gravy, and while it’s advertised as homemade, they were clearly from a bag or from frozen. The biscuits were dry and tasted old, while the gravy was flavorless and my over easy eggs were overcooked. It tasted so bad I sent it back and refused anything else. My partner got sausage and eggs, which was rather inoffensive, nothing tasted excessively bad, but nothing was particularly good, while the over medium eggs were very overcooked (akin to hard-boiled eggs) and the flapjacks were lacking heavily in flavor. I’ve had better Eggos. All things considered, especially given the higher price point a lot of the food has when eating out nowadays, this place is a pass. Regardless of how nice the staff is, terrible food is terrible food.

The atmosphere, the attention make this place really special. And the taste of the home made vinaigrette was the cherry on top! Thank you

The hash—so flavorful. The best ever. The omelettes are the fluffiest. I have Celiac so tried their GF pancakes. I hesitated because they are also dairy fee which normally is not good. Rosie’s GF/dairy free were so good. They had a bit of a nutty flavor and great texture. Thankful the server recommended them! The manager added he likes their GF/dairy free waffles made from the same batter but they are crunchy on the outside. Will try them next time! Love the vibe and the food here
