Rosie’s Home Cookin’

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!!

Great local, veteran owned diner that replaced the train diner! Lynn was welcoming the minute we walked through the door, even giving us a few quarters to use for the horse for our son to ride. Our waitress was great. Service is exceptional! You can tell they really care about their customer’s experience. My son has a severe dairy allergy and avoids gluten. Loved the fact that they have a gluten and dairy free pancake (amaranth) for him! (Heads up it does have eggs) He really enjoyed them. Unfortunately the potatoes are cooked with dairy/butter which is a favorite part of our breakfast usually. If this ever changes or there’s a different potato/hash-brown option offered without dairy, we would love to make this our go to breakfast spot.
