The old fashioned diner. But good only so so. If you go only order simple diner dishes. Honestly me and my wife were a bit disappointed as there was much hype. read more

We bought a house in Livingston manor and have been coming to Roscoe for two years. While the prices have increased to gouge tourists, the quality has steadily declined. On my last (and final) visit I decided to order off the specials. I went with the cod and it was a comically puny filet, (on what looks like a prison tray)frozen veggies, and what was advertised as potato was actually French fries. This meal was the final straw for me, I might have been more forgiving if it wasn't $18. My boyfriend ordered the Trout, same exact problem. So hungry when we left, should have went with our first instinct down the road. read more

Iconic diner that I've heard about for years. Breakfast was crowded, nice fall weekend. Lots of staff but slow for getting food out. Hash was worst I've ever had. Nothing really remarkable. It was disappointing. Nothing special read more

Everyone should stop here!! A classic whether your going upstate or coming downstate! Staff is friendly and the food is excellent.

This diner is a perfect old fashion diner. The menu here is very robust and the food is good. They have ample parking and a row of Tesla charging stations. The prices are also very reasonable. I ordered their Bonko burger which includes a burger, ham, fried onions, bacon, lettuce, tomato and I added an egg. It did not disappoint. It came with a side of fries and pickles and coleslaw. I left here full and happy! Worth checking out if you're in the Roscoe area. read more

I used to go here years ago and so wanted to like this place but couldn't We stopped in here for what we thought would be a quick breakfast while driving rt 17. It took forever to get our food. The disappearing waitress seemed unhappy and grumpy, we asked for 1/2 and 1/2 for the coffee, was given a choice of " non dairy creamer" ( yuk ) or milk . The french toast was hard as a brick , I tasted some ketchup on my home fries, I did not put any ketchup on them.... Hmmmmm.-Wonder how that could be. Portions were marginally mediocre in size at best. Later that night my girlfriend was sick - coming out of both ends... we both shared a meal later in the day and I was fine- Can't say for sure if it was the breakfast, but after using the mens room on the way out, I would avoid this place. Took almost an hr to get in and out of this place on a not busy weekday morning. Oh and btw- while walking out, the owner was sitting in the closed off section of the diner to the left drinking coffee and there was a qt container of Half and Half on his table. Guess he doesn't like "Non dairy creamer" either- Smh ...... It looks like the diner is leasing some of its property to a Tesla charging station facility, so I guess they don't rely on delivering a good meal or service to stay in business . Next time I'll try the Cow Cafe breakfast place around the corner. read more

Everyone talks about the famous Roscoe diner so today my husband and two children stopped in for breakfast. The food was just ok, your typical diner food. The orange juice was terrible, I'm convinced it was watered down with tap water, even the kids hated it. What really surprised me was how dirty this place was, absolutely filthy - from the window sill, to our seats, to the floor. Having my two year old son touching everything just made me cringe. How can the owners allow this to happen?? Shouldn't these places be spotless since we just had COVID?? I surely won't be coming back. read more

Got ignored by the sad looking face waitress for 10 mins. Finally got to order they charge me tips and packing fee without informing me but I don't mind. The worst is the sad face looking waitress keep rolling her eye when she's taking and giving my order. I guess she is just been racist cause I'm Asian. :) read more

Comfort food all the way! Service is friendly and on point. Classic diner inside.. love going there always feel comfortable like I'm sitting at my own table in my house read more

Could this place go downhill any faster. This place never fails to disappoint. Each time I eat here I think against logic that maybe today will be better. It's Sunday afternoon and the place is not so busy but my waiter just informed me that they are out of knives, last week they ran out of plates. How does this happen? The seating hostess and the cashier are the same person so you won't be seated until everyone is finished paying their check. Their bumper sticker says this place is famous, if you ask me it's getting famous for being awful. read more

Stopped at the Roscoe Diner for lunch with my wife on our way home. Last time I was there was about 7 years ago driving home from Oswego with my son. The food was typical diner food, nothing fancy but good, priced competitively and the service was fine. The bathrooms were smelly and filthy, filthy filthy!!!! The mens room looked like it hasn't been cleaned since the last time I was there seven years ago and my wife said the same about the ladies room. Won't be back! read more

1/28/19 Having passed the World Famous Roscoe Diner many times as I traveled along Rt.17 (now I-86) over the years made me want to try it many of those times, but I never was going by at a time of day to make the stop worthwhile. That finally changed on this last trip by. I was not disappointed. It was a very cold January day, so I asked for a mug of nice hot cocoa, and a bowl of soup was a nice way to start at lunch time. My son had the cheddar-broccoli soup that he said was really good. I ordered chicken rice soup that really "hit the spot", and took the chill out of my bones. The "kid" (he's almost 40 years old) had an open face Monte Cristo sandwich that was large, and generously filled with meat & melted cheese. It also had French fries included. He devoured it quickly, so it must have been pretty good! I had a Philly cheesesteak sandwich that was generously filled with thin slices of beef, along with mushrooms, onions, and melted cheese, and served with a bland pickle slice and good French fries. It was a very acceptable lunch, served quickly by a lady that seemed to be having a bad day, or perhaps is just not a friendly person, but did her job well, otherwise. Glad I finally got around to trying this cool diner! read more

Roscoe Diner - Diners Near Me - Roscoe, New York

Husband and I stopped here for lunch for the first time. It was pretty average as far as a diner is concerned. Lots of typical menu items. I had the chicken quesadilla which was tastier than expected, and my husband had a breakfast option: eggs, bacon, sausage, side of hash, and a waffle. My quesadilla was considerably better than his breakfast: the chicken had a really good grilled flavor, the salsa and sour cream were a nice addition. He didn't find his breakfast all that exciting: the bacon was the Black Label microwaveable kind, the hash tasted too acidic (his words), and the waffle was tasty but flat & crispy and not puffy like a Belgium waffle. Not bad for a breakfast but he says he's had better at other establishments. Service was good. All in all, we would come again when on the road, maybe just not for a breakfast. read more

It did take a while for us to get our food. We were told that the chef had cut his hand. Previous visits hold, however, that Roscoe just takes a bit to serve its customers. The food is definitely worth it, just don't expect to be in and out. Amazing fries! read more

Went on Sunday morning ,not busy at all and service was very slow. Food is sub par at best. Corn beef has was out of a can and inedible. The place used to be awesome but that was years ago. The place is rundown and overpriced which is a shame because the town is really nice with plenty of other places to eat. Don't bother coming here. read more

Today we were very hungry travelers and were recommended this diner. We entered and there was no greeting. After being seated, it took forever for the waiter to approach. There were at most 5 other parties. There were no pleasantries or effort to be friendly. While waiting for our food, we had to listen to the staff squabble over their sections. Food was decent. Atmosphere was sad. At check out the especially unfriendly hostess never made eye contact or smiled at both the beginning and end of our visit. Go someplace else! They take advantage of their location and minimal choices in the area!! There are places out their that are probably better to support! Too Bad! read more

I don't know how o u can't love the Roscoe Diner! It's a staple stop for anyone headed up north for school (or coming back home for break). They have pennants from all different colleges and universities which makes the place fun to look around. They have a typical menu and prices for a diner and the service is always extremely quick. Always worth the visit whenever I'm driving in 17! read more

Fun old fashion roadside dinner.. unbelievably huge slices of cake.. stopped in while out in the countryside upstate New York enjoying the views of fall foliage.. not too busy on a late weekend afternoon. Very friendly waitstaff.. interior a bit worn but added to the country charm.. read more

I had heard about & passed the Roscoe Diner many times & being a nice day, my friends & and I decided take a ride to the Diner for breakfast. Big mistake. We got there about 11:10 so sorry, no hash browns after 11am. Huh? I can get french fries with my eggs. Er, no thank you. So I ordered a Western omelet & I'd just skip the fries. The omelet came & they seemed to have forgotten the western part. Oh wait, there's a tiny piece of ham & yes, I found a sliver of pepper. A western it is, I guess. You know those little jellies, usually grape, that you get on the table for your toast on diners . Nope. Come on, not even a napkin dispenser. What a waste of time. There are some things you expect from a Diner. They must be running on reputation alone. All I can say is, don't bother. At least we had a nice ride. read more

Very reasonable and friendly and fast service! The food is what you'd expect for a diner, and the atmosphere is a little dated and dark. My dad and I got the Castkill Grilled Chicken Sandwich: grilled chicken with mushrooms, peppers, onions, and American cheese on a hard roll. The chicken was good, but whatever it was cooked with was kind of salty/almost brine-y. The veggies on top of the chicken were most likely canned and unfortunately didn't add much flavor as a result. Their fries were great and the bite of my friend's chicken tenders that I had was also delicious. read more

Roscoe Dinner has almost a monopoly as the place to eat or stop for coffee between Binghamton and Monticello NY. It is also an oasis of sorts. Stick with the breakfasts at any hour, and you'll do fine. They do a huge volume Debating between 3 and 4 stars...Roscoe Diner earns 4 based on our many visits read more

Our call in order wasn't registered so we had to reorder when we arrived and wait for 30 min. And the food wasn't very good

I remember going to this diner many years ago and it was always great. Those days are long gone. The food was terrible and service worse. I had a salad and it looked like it came out of the garbage. I will NEVER step into that place again nor should you read more

Years ago this used to be a good place to eat and super convenient stop on way to NYC. Been here twice in last couple of years and will never go again. I debated 1 or 2 stars. It is pretty bad. Don't let the old hype fool you read more

This is an institution. It's a must stop diner going North on 17. The food is diner style in every way. We had huge portions. Got some paninis and they were outrageously delicious. Been here many times and never disappointed! read more

The service was the high point and it was definitely not great. The food in general was overpriced and its quality was poor. The spanakopita in particular was offensively expensive for the meager amount, the non standard serving (I can't even describe it other than to say it was like a spinach filled unsweetened donut.) I am embarrassed that we didn't look at Yelp before stopping because we could have avoided wasting thirty bucks. read more

I pass it every time I go back to college in upstate NY (look for the college pennants!!!). It's standard diner fare that always is delicious, with a wait staff that is incredibly friendly. Make this your diner stop on Route 17, you won't be sad you did! PS: Get the milkshake. read more

Roscoe Diner - Diner at night - Diners Near Me - Roscoe, New York

The Roscoe diner is pretty much your basic diner. It has been around a long time and it's one of the easiest places to get to off of 17 if you are headed upstate or coming down from Binghamton way. The food is pretty much regular diner fare, nothing special but the times I have been there it has always been good. Service has always been great and they staff has always been smiling. Today was just a quick stop for dessert and coffee and both the cherry pie and coffee hit the spot. read more

Good traditional diner fare. Nothing more, nothing less. Breakfast is probably the highlight. Our party of four had pancakes, waffles, eggs, everything was A-OK. $45 for breakfast for four (not including tip). read more

Visited for my birthday a week ago. Solid local spot. Classic decor unchanged since the 70's, Nothing fancy, simple greasy spoon. Wait staff is very friendly and attentive. Prices are catskills prices but fair considering. I recommend the milkshakes (real ice cream and milk), apple pancakes, Burgers and clubs with fries. read more

I was very excited to go to this icon diner. My daughter had a tuna melt which she loved and I had the chicken souvlaki sandwich. It was pretty good for an upstate diner. The servers were very friendly. The atmosphere of the diner was fun with all the college pennants. read more

Really horrible, not worth a single star but yelp doesnt give a feature for zero stars. Took 20 minutes for our order to be taken. 40 mins for our food to come out and all we ordered were grilled cheese, waffles and homefries with eggs. All the food tasted like disgusting, trashy cardboard. I had to salt my potatoes THREE times just to taste anything. That food was disrespectful. I dont understand why the service was so bad considered the diner was mostly empty. That's another thing I didnt understand, barely any tables were taken however there was a line that went out the door. Also, the owner of the diner was sitting on his *** 1 table over laughing it up with his friends. Such horrible management. I left feeling hungry and nauseas. SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY. Avoid that dump! read more

Was there last weekend after opening our place up in Downsville for the spring. Dependable, but nothing fancy. Everyone was friendly, portions were more than ample, and reasonably priced. Always a good choice when in the area. read more

Always tasty and flavorful. Staff is always friendly! Please is a must stop when in town. Great diner food. our usuals are the buffalo chicken wrap, gyro, their special French toast (it's massive), mozz sticks, and a few other things. read more

They are just a minute off 17 and between two gas stations for those of you commuting. Service is quick and courteous and the food is tasty, albeit a bit pricey even by Hudson Valley standards-- but that's OK because the fries are crunchy and delicious and they make cheesecake in-house. My server Bertie was personable and sweet, despite having to deal with me. There was a short wait time for food, likely because it's winter in a tourist town. Felt like there were as many staff as customers and I'm not being hyperbolic. A true diner experience despite the fact they close at night (which is fair considering locale.) read more

Has been great for take out! Staff is friendly, service is fast. They always accommodate special requests.. My favorite is Philly Cheesesteak extra cheese/ no meat!! read more

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the food here was garbage but I genuinely expected that at the very least this place could pull off breakfast. It's a diner after all. Two orders of pancakes had to be sent back (they were straight up batter inside), undercooked eggs and freezer burn sausage. read more

Nice dinner. Had a few sandwiches and nothing bad to say. Large menu with lots of options. As expected.

Came through headed to a family's funeral. Once we hit our destination, we kept saying how the coffee and service was the best during our trip. Staffs like a warm family member serving comfort not just food. Funny, thinking I'll make the 4hr round trip for a day. Excellent!!! read more
