Stopped in for lunch with a friend and ordered a burger and found a hair in it. Owner tried to claim that one of us put it there. The chicken I ordered was rubbery and tasteless. Owner argued with me and claimed it was fine. He was extremely rude to us the whole time which I guess explains why there were no other customers at lunch time in a busy town center, also no wait staff. read more

Servers were kind and fast. So that was a huge positive. I also love a local place and live to support small businesses. I loved the homey feel of this place but the news max blaring on the tv was a little off putting. It didn't make it seem welcoming to everyone. The food was a hot and came out quick. It wasn't the best eggs Benedict I've ever had but also not the best. I really want to love this place because I do genuinely love the vibe and the local feel but unfortunately it wasn't the best experience and I probably wouldn't go back for breakfast. Maybe I'll try again for lunch or dinner. read more

I simply didnt care for the food. It wasn't as hot as expected when served. It wasnt the worst. Other diners to choose from.

Food fantastic, always as I order it. Staff are always kind and helpful to me and my friends. Ambiance is a plain Ole dinner. Owner is very kind if you show him respect. I love going there read more

Excellent breakfast. Quality and quantity was perfect. The waitress was police and nice and will get a 35% tip. The location is perfect and plenty of parking. I uploaded photos of part of the menu for everyone to view. read more

I went there today, a Sunday*, and I truly enjoyed the food and the service, and I have to add an angle to my perspective, that I would have not had to add to my review, had I been writing this fifteen years ago. That now, I like a place like Rocco's for what it is not and doesn't have. What it has is normal food. Seeing the negative reviews, my curiosity was piqued to see just what type of diner the people who did not like Rosco's DID like, and the answer did not surprise me. It was like playing a guess the stereotype game: a lot of them gushed on other diner's yelp pages about them having vegan donuts and gluten free this or that. Oh brother. So if you are looking for the hip, trendy, "healthy" reinterpretation of comfort food, by all means, go elsewhere. But those of us actually looking for simple old fashioned food, go here and you will find exactly that. * on a Sunday, you can get only breakfast food. You have to make time on a weekday to try out their lunch, and Greek foods. read more

Rosco's Diner - Their Greek omelet. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chelmsford, Massachusetts

I went in there for an early morning breakfast before work. I sat at the counter and the waitress was lovely and efficient but all I can hear was someone yelling in the back. It made for such an unpleasant breakfast that I'll never be back. The food was okay not great. Kind of shabby inside. Seats weren't very comfortable. There's better places around. read more

The food was mediocre. the atmosphere was toxic. No one greeted us. Why eat out when you can get ignored at home ?

Eggshells in the omelet and alt right propaganda on the tv, what's not to hate? The food that wasn't eggshell wasn't even that good.

Would've been an absolute five! But food had a bug in it which obviously ruined it/food. Other than that, food came out fast, we ordered the hot cake special and eggs benedict with spinach for 35$. Iced water was charged which we didn't like too. But food was delicious! Besides bug that was crawling in my toast and eggs. read more

Owner kicked everyone out, then got in someone's face when they said they'd call the police. Dishes were heard smashing while he yelled, and when told they were going to call the police the waitress said "please do". Very bad experience, owner kicked people out WHILE they were eating! It looks nice on the outside but it was scary. read more

First time eating there, homefries were good, got eggs bennie, it was average, asked for well done bacon, not well done at all. Food overall was meh...service was ok....they had political stuff on the tv that made for an uncomfortable ambiance. When you enter, their board states no dogs, no outside drinks, no changing the channel on the tv? wtf. Never again. read more

always a great breakfast. family owned. rosco is very nice but he his english is not that great but he and his family are great and put out a consistent great breakfast. there are alot of negatives from people for politics because the place. also i think its rude to bring in food or coffee from another breakfast place. no class. yes i agree that 1.00 for water is not common but for the great food price they want tou to orser a drink read more

I'd give it no stars if I could. Ordered the waffle a la mode...vanilla ice cream and berries. Got a waffle topped with coffee and sherbet?! And when asked to try and fix it the server threw a fit and asked us to leave. Never heard of anything like this much less be treated like this. read more

DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS. Mediocrity doesn't even begin to describe this sad, sack of doo-doo, small business. Charging $1.50 for an ice water, from the tap. I'm guessing they have to charge for the water because they can't keep the business afloat and are desperately scrambling for profit. The fruit cup was so old and inedible, the grapes looked like green olives, and the cherries looked like they were pulled from last year's fruit cake and repurposed (not joking). We didn't entertain eating the old fruit and instead sent it back after letting the server know it wasn't good quality. We were still charged for the poop cup. Sorry, fruit* cup. The ambiance is extremely awkward and uninviting; no music, political news channel on the only tv, watching the severs text on their phones and chew with their mouths open. After reading some of the other reviews I'm actually disappointed in myself for spending any money and slightly supporting this business. I will not be making this mistake again and I urge you to go elsewhere. Also, if you work in the restaurant industry and value your position and you decide to try this place, be warned that the service and everything else at Roscoe's will make you cringe. read more

Food is gross and so is the owner. There are so many better breakfast spots to choose from in the area.

Would leave zero if possible. Owner is confrontational to the point of nearly assaulting customers, food is bland, oh and he denies seeing eye dogs and diabetic service dogs! The gall of this owner is amazing. Yellong in women's faces is a regular occurrence from personal experience and other reviews, beware of this restaraunt. read more

Have gone back frequently for breakfast, still recommend it, good, fast, traditional American food at reasonable prices

Inconsistent service. Food is decent, if you keep it basic with scrambled eggs, bacon, and home fries. I ordered a side of "homemade corned beef hash," and received a plate of grade A dog food. Was nervous to send it back because of previous reviews where the owner screams at his customers. Not to mention, he came out and slammed our plates on the counter when delivering our meals..... read more

Rosco's Diner - "Homemade corned beef hash" - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chelmsford, Massachusetts

My boyfriend and I are having breakfast here right now and its amazing. I ordered the "Captain Crunch French Toast" and it THE BEST FRENCH TOAST EVER! You will NOT be disappointed AT ALL! So delicious! Crunchy outside and soft inside, sugary and scrumptious! read more

The owner kicked us out for bringing a Dunkin iced coffee in. We were going to order food and drinks. We just didn't want the coffee Culotta to melt. He was rude, upset and obnoxious and kicked us out. read more

Server was the rudest person I ever met in my life. We left, didn't even bother to stay, they can keep their food, place didn't even look that good to begin with. Needs a good cleaning. read more

Went there with my wife this morning and felt super uncomfortable. Tv was blaring a news channel that was accusing Fox of being too liberal and one of the waitresses was wearing a shirt reading "Raised Right" with republican images in it. I don't care about your political views but it's hard to enjoy your mediocre food with this kind of environment. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! This place is a complete disaster. MOST awful experience in a restaurant EVER! Let me start with the highlight if the experience!!! Owners daughter said "I do not give a shit about you and you can talk to my Dad but he doesn't give a shit about you either!" What?!? OMG. So we tell her- we're going to give you a bad real yelp review and she said "I don't give a shit about your review. we've been here forever, and will never go out of business!" Really? Ok. What prompted this behavior you ask? We must have done something to be treated this way?! Well, this was the response to a simple ask for extra bacon on a sandwich. She said we don't put extra meat on sandwiches so you'll have to get an extra side of bacon and pay for it. We said we understand the cost and we're happy to pay for the extra bacon, but can you please put it on the sandwich and she said: "NO, put your own bacon on your sandwich!" "Are you that lazy you cannot put your own bacon on your sandwich?" (Are you disgusted yet?) I am completely appalled and never have I received such bad customer service, or encountered such an entitled brat working in the service industry! Clearly this family thinks that they're above taking care of customers. Needless to say we will never be coming back to this family owned shit hole and we will be telling everybody that we know in town not to go there. You have plenty of other choices with nice kind, small business owners in Chelmsford, Westford, Littleton and Groton! Please, please take your business elsewhere!!!! (Extra bacon to go please!) Ps- she should read the 6,000 Egg book- read more

Only ones in there, sat at the counter with my 7 year old son and the TV was blaring Fox news at a high volume. I asked if we could turn it down to eat and was told the boss will not allow it, I asked if we could change the channel or turn it off since no one else was in there and was told the boss refuses. Very odd place, we left for Doty's down the street. Just trying to enjoy breakfast with my son! No wonder no one goes there and it was empty. read more

Sausage omelette with spinach and home fries was good if you like omelettes you deff should try

Where do I even start with this one, cripes! Okay, stopped in for breakfast with the hubby on 10/31. Sat at a booth near the bar. Food was decent, service was okay. So why only the 2 stars? Well, it's quite simple actually. It's difficult to enjoy a meal when they've got the Trailer Park Scientology channel (OAN) blaring on the t.v. FOX News is one thing, but OAN? Really, come on!!! That just killed the whole vibe of the place right there for us. If you ask me, 2 stars is generous! If I could give the place just 1 1/2, I would. But, unfortunately Yelp doesn't do 1/2 stars. Now, I really wish I had read the reviews before going. Because, not only a lot of the reviews are complaining about the same things I am, but to read that they've also refused service animals on numerous occasions (Which is ILLEGAL), basically solidifies my chances of never going back. Disgraceful. read more

Was in the area and went in get breakfast , WHAT A MISTAKE , proceed to look for look for the restroom to wash hands prior to sitting down & man watching me as I entered ,restaurant Owner , Worst breakfast ever , eggs were flat ? Felt sick when I left , never going back again , 1st and last time going to this place, Board health should shut it down , bathroom was out of service as we!! read more

Brought two hungry hockey players (11 year olds) here after an early game on a Sunday. They left stuffed and were asking if they could come back every weekend. We sat at the counter (lots of counter seats). There are booths and tables too. One got the pancakes and sausage and the other got 3 eggs, home fries and sausage. The food was delivered quickly and was fantastic. The home fries were seasoned nicely and cooked perfectly oN the grill so you get a little crisp on the potatoes. The sausages (4 of them) were moist and delicious and the eggs were cooked well. I can't wait to bring the boys back here again. GreaT find, although we drove right past it the first 4 weeks later. I told you we couldn't wait to come back. The hockey player got the pancake and sausage again. The waitress was super nice and attentive and the food was awesome again. Looking forward to our next early morning game in the area! read more

Tried out this place for the first time, my mistake was waiting so long! Small lively place, friendly waitstaff, great breakfast foods! Pancakes big & fluffy! My son order the gyro omelette, quite interesting full of flavor and taste! Breakfast combos are really good! Looking forward to going back! read more

There are several reasons to like and dislike Rosco's. Here's my best assessment; Pros: while understaffed, our server was wonderfully pleasant. The interior isn't fancy but it's clean and the tables aren't crammed on top of each other. There's air conditioning! Menu is far more diverse than most New England diners with a good deal of Greek inspired fare. Portions are generous. Cons: there are only two people working. One server and the owner who I believe doubles as the cook. It's fine if it isn't too busy but a bit slow once it gets busy. As a couple other people noted, it does seem like some of the food, notably the home fries, are frozen and then reheated as opposed to freshly made onsite. Neither my partner nor I asked for any accommodations or substitutions so we had no trouble ordering. I thought the hollandaise for my Benedict was a little bland. Biggest Con: patrons are subjected to watching the right-wing, for profit garbage spewing "news" network OAN. we simply can't go back for that reason alone. read more

This is a go-to place for my sons and I on a weekend morning. The waitresses have always been friendly, and the food is classic diner! We never go home hungry. I love the home fries - perfect combination of crunchy but potato-y. Will go back again and again! read more

I've never been 'kicked out' of an establishment in my life. My family was asked to leave because we brought our coffee cups in. We were visiting family in the area and we were trying to support local shops. We brought our leftover coffee cups in from visiting a local coffee shop and sat them on our table. Despite the fact they were empty, the owner took offense. My 9 year old got to see how grown ups can be really stupid. The owner yelled across the room at us in front of everyone "I'm not serving you because you went somewhere else and bought coffee - Get Out". I'm still laughing at the stupidity. read more

If your really hungry, don't come here , took 45 minutos to get our food, and there was only a few customers here, can't imagine if it was busy, I asked for refill my coffe, they forgot had to go walk over my self to get it, food was ok, read more

The place is dirty. Dirty silverware, gross carpet and saw that the kitchen looks suspect. It felt risky to eat the food given the state of the dining room. read more

Food was pretty okay.. however the service is not. Waited 10-15 minutes to place an order; 30+ minutes for food to arrive after that. The place was not busy with three servers on. We asked politely about the progress on the food and the response was short and unpleasant. The servers then continued to walked a few feet away and openly complain about guests, including us, all within ear shot. I heard EVERYTHING they said it was wildly unprofessional. Only eat here if you like oppression because the staff are experts at making you feel unwelcome. 2stars only because the kitchen prepared a decent plate for us. I worked in food service for many years at fine dining and catering restaurants. My expectations were inline with any other diner. This place just doesn't get it. read more

Showed up and stood at the "Please wait to be seated" sign for 5+ minutes. No one came to seat me. I then sat myself at the counter. I ordered the Irish Benedict without the hollandaise sauce. They told me that the cook would not allow it. They said it is a waste of food. WAT???? They then suggested another item on the menu which was basically what I asked for. The food came out within 5 minutes. It was definitely cooked but it was clear than none of the food was made to order. That includes the hash, potatoes, and ham. The entire meal was luke warm at best. Let me rephrase, the meal was cold. All the items seemed like they were cooked earlier and then reheated. The hash could have been great but there was something off about it. It just didn't seem like it was fresh or prepared recently. read more

Love love love having breakfast here! Always an awesome meal. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended!

Right wing propaganda central...similar experience to other reviewers - NewsMax blaring on the tv, asked politely if they could turn it off, or at least down. The server refused "no, we leave it on", "no, we don't turn it down". We left. read more
