Rosie's Restaurant

Stopped by Rosie’s as I haven’t been there in years. Brought my Mom as her favorite place closed down recently and she was looking for a new one. Needless to say, we found a new breakfast place for her. The place is just like I’d remembered it from years ago, the staff was amazing and super friendly and the food was perfect. Rosie’s has that old (clean) diner feel to it with 70s/80s country playing, the staff treating you like they’ve known you forever, and food cooked just like you’d expect. We had omelettes and they were great. You could tell they weren’t like other places that skimp and add in pancake batter (yep, some places do that). The omelettes were cooked perfectly and had a great balance of filling (I had a Denver, Mom went with ham and cheese). The hashbrowns were fantastic; crispy but not over done. Mom had a biscuit which she said was good and I had some gluten free toast (I’m not celiac, but the staff even made a point of letting me know they were giving my butter instead of margarine as that has gluten in it; didn’t expect them to go to that level but what a nice touch). Good luck trying to finish off a cup of coffee without getting it refilled; the staff are all over that and make sure you’re never looking at an empty cup. I’ve tried just about every breakfast spot (Rosie’s isn’t just breakfast though) between Longview and Washougal and Rosie’s ranks among the best of them.

My kids have declared this a 5 star restaurant—after originally demanding a visit to the DQ nearby. Terrific burgers, huge and yummy shakes (their new favorite shake place), best fries, and huge pancakes. Only downside was over large portions, and that’s not usually a downside. I asked about the gluten-free toast I saw on the menu and the server sent someone across the street to the grocery store when she discovered they were out of GF bread. Terrific experience!!
