I had heard the recommendations and high praise about Rosco's burgers, stored them in my memory banks and put that back burner and not prioritized it. Rosco's Burgers are now at the top of the list and most likely a second visit. Two of my party openly stated it's the best meal that they have had in AKASKA. How good are the burgers you may ask? Samuel L Jackson Tasty Burger good! It's not a great looking burger. It's the taste. Go for it. read more

Ambiance - Rustic demeanor. The chairs, tables and benches are awesome. They look hand crafted. They aren't easy to move, but they ARE sturdy. Lots of pun-tastic t-shirts on display. You definitely sit somewhere that allows you to see these. Service - Brilliant. Friendly. Kind. Fast. Waters came out immediately with freshly cut lemons. The water was crisp and cold. Among all the ordering, two people at our table who ordered sodas did have to ask for their drinks after the food came out. These sodas were promptly retrieved. Food - Parmesan garlic fries came with a generous helping of roasted garlic. Like full cloves. Fries were freshly cooked and very hot. The pizzas were quickly dispatched by their partakers. Both pizzas received praise from the eaters. We asked for things to be left off the burger and for things to be on the side. This was completed with accuracy. The taco salad was well done. The best part was the size of the plate and the depth. Because it was relatively shallow, it never felt like I had exhausted all the goodies only to find myself eating lettuce. In fact, I think there was something besides lettuce in every bite to the end. Notables - No beer, wine, or liquor. Prices were great for Alaska. read more

Rosco's is a Great Ninilchik spot for take out on the Sterling Hwy. All staff are very nice and wear face masks, and they appreciate it when patrons wear masks coming in or going out. Dining-in is great, too, if they aren't full of large groups during these Covid-19 times; their tables aren't spaced out as much as one would like. Rosco's sandwiches are what bring us back each time we travel through on the way to Homer or Anchor Point when we visit friends. We try to time our stop just as they open at 11:30am. In Winter, they close at 8 pm and are closed on Sunday and Monday. We always order their tasty potato salad, it's great, in place of french fries. Rosco's Cheeseburger is a favorite. Wild Willie's Blues Burger and the Big Kahuna Burger are good, too. My friend likes the Mexi Wrap. Be sure to pick up packs of mayo, mustard, and salt and pepper on your way out to dress your burgers. read more

Rosco's Pizza - Entrance from parking lot. Note, their sign is set back from the Hwy. - Pizza Near Me - Ninilchik, Alaska

One of the food items we have been missing since starting our adventure was a good pizza. It was wonderful to find this great pizza place in the small town of Ninichik. The pizza was so good that our traveling friends got one for themselves the next day. Service was good and the pizza was ready just a few minutes after I arrived, I had called in the order, so it was still hot when I got it back to the RV park. The seating area was very pleasant with lots of locals and visitors enoying a meal not centered on fish. read more

Roscoes has the best pizza! I've eaten pizza all over the place like many others and when I say that they are the top two best pizza's I've ever had I mean it! I recommend eating it there with the locals. You never know if a local tv star from Homer will be in there too. The locals are amazing people and are super friendly and know the fishing spots so don't be afraid to go grab some food at Roscoes and strike up a conversation with them! AND I also love their hamburgers especially the blue cheese and bacon burger. I love the Italian sandwich that has the pickled cauliflower and olives and salami. Its SOoooo amazing. The homemade cheese cake is amazing. I order a cheesecake or two during the holidays. In fact from now until April you can make orders for dessert from them. My personal favorite is the 3 berry cheesecake at room temperature with some of their whipped topping. I usually get it to go but it is a treat! The lasagna is amazing and a huge piece. I've eaten there at least 20 times and have never been disappointed. OH! I almost forgot to mention the clam chowder in a focaccia bread bowl. The best Ive had and the bread is the best part. You HAVE to try it read more

Friendly service and good food. Locally owned and operated. Wide variety of menu options. The peanut butter brownies are amazing.

My husband and I heard that the Philly cheese sandwich was good here. But when I saw a Patty melt on rye I couldn't resist. It was just lovely. Fries where also delicious. My husband had the fish and chips. It to was lovely. Would eat here again. Service was good and the decor was fitting for the location. Coming from California, this place was awesome read more

You don't have a lot of choices here so you get what you get. It was a cute little local joint but the food and service was less than ideal. Pizza was like it was store bought frozen and the service was without a smile. So like I said don't expect anything special. read more

What have I been waiting for?! I've been asked that a lot in the days after saying I'd finally tried Rosco's. Having heard great reviews from many people in the last couple of years, I just had no excuse to drive down to Ninilchik - plus seeing as how my body is not a fan of pizza (unless I have it without cheese, but who has pizza without cheese?! weirdos, that's who!) it just didn't seem like the right option. Boy, was I surprised. After spending the morning in the Caribou Hills to cheer on the Tustumena 200 and 100 sled dog teams, we headed back down towards home. The wait to eat at Freddie's Roadhouse was a tad too long and it was standing room only, so it felt smarter to try and find food elsewhere. This was my opportunity to try Roscoe's. Of course, they decided to have their customer appreciation 50% off that weekend, so it was very close to standing room only there, too, but we were able to snag a table as we came in. The wait to be served was a little long of a wait, but totally understandable. They were busy! I would have lost my mind working the counter, but the staff were all friendly and excited to be so busy! Wow! People who actually look like they enjoy their job, who knew! Dad and I both decided against pizza - not for any particular reason other than we wanted something a little lighter. Most things on the menu had cheese, so I settled for their chicken strips and fries basket and dad went with their Muffuletta sandwich and upgraded to onion rings. Wow. The chicken strips are pretty standard but they were served HOT and the fries were crisp. Dad's sandwich though - he won't stop talking about it. The bread is made fresh, and was not dry/stale. The flavor was spot on, and the onion rings were crisp and hot and just the way he likes them. We're now finding any and every excuse to get back to Rosco's. You can bet we will no longer just drive by on our way to or from Homer. read more

The pizza was amazing and hit the spot after a rainy day out fishing! Great crust and tons of toppings. By far the best part was the Peanut Butter Chocolate brownies! We cleaned them out ordering all they had left for the day!! read more

We have eaten at Roscoe's a few times. The pizza is always very good. We also tried burgers and salads this time. The burgers were a little dry, but overall pretty good. The salads and homemade dressing were great as well. We eat at Roscoe's at least once when we make fishing trips down to Ninilchik. read more

Great place with friendly people!!! We will be back!!! Food was very good and variety was amazing.

We stopped by after fishing all morning for some burgers. Everything was awesome--service, friendly patrons, and the food was great and came in sizable portions. read more

Loved everything about this place on our vacation. Food and customer service was GREAT!! read more

Excellent pizzA The absolute best - wonderful perfectcrust and great ingredients! Love the Redoubt, but it's all delicious!

We bought two large pies here and enjoyed them. As a native New Yorker, I'm a pizza snob. I've never found a truly good pizza in Alaska, but Roscoe's was the best to date. Their price per square inch isn't cheap, but nothing in Alaska is cheap. Next time through Ninilchik, I'll stop again. Friendly staff. Plenty of tables for eating in and easy to strike up a conversation with other diners. read more

Driving to Soldotna after an afternoon in Homer visiting the sites we were very hungry. Saw Roscoe's beside the road in Ninilchik and decided to give them a try. Boy are we glad we did. We had a large pizza with half of the Roscoe's special of various meat and cheese and the other half was artichoke, garlic and sundried tomato. Excellent. The crust was very good and the toppings just right. The pizza hit the spot and made the last hour of our drive much more comfortable. The side green salad was fresh too. The service was very good. People were coming in getting those orders for pick up and there were others in the restaurant eating too. The table and chairs are the heavy local wooden birch type and were comfortable. There's a nice aquarium full of tropical fresh water fish. Everything was clean. To top it off the left over pizza was great the next day for breakfast! Lol! We'll definitely stop again. read more

Wide selection of foods. Friendly staff. I had a Cobb salad that was fresh, delicious, and gigantic! My companion had a chicken wrap with fries and said it was outstanding. They gave us teas to go. Definitely worth a visit. read more

What a great place to eat. Food was hot and flavorful. Left with our bellies full and a smile on our face.

In the Summer, I drive frequently between Anchorage and Homer. The small town of Ninilchik is in between "Speed Zone Ahead" and "Resume Speed" on the highway. I've noticed Rosco's for a while now, but just stopped in the other day on my way back to Anchorage. First of all, the smell of a true pizzeria was very welcome as we entered. The menu included more than just pizza, and I wanted one of everything. I ended up choosing a burger, and it was excellent! They make their own buns here, and it made a big difference. One of my party had the pulled pork sandwich, and it was good too. A cobb salad rounded out our group's choices, and it was full of variety. Next time, I'm trying the pizza. Hand-tossed, and the smells coming from the kitchen were just divine. We were on a time crunch, or we would have taken the time to have a pie. read more

Rosco's is the best restaurant in Ninilchik. We go here often. They have delicious pizza, sandwiches, and salads. The wedge salad is a great option. The service is wonderful. You will leave full and happy. If you are in Ninilchik, you should definitely come here for a delicious meal! read more

This place has a little of everything. Which was nice, because we had already had pizza and I needed a change.

Only pizza and calzones after 9p. We arrived about 30min before closing time, and so I thought it was nice that not only did our order arrive promptly, but also that we were not rushed to finish by the staff. As one of the few places to eat around here, I was impressed by the quality of the food. The crust was thicker, but perfect in texture (crispy exterior, fluffy interior). We got the Mediterranean pizza, and they had ran out of spinach, but we were happy to replace it with mushrooms, which were fresh and NOT of the canned variety (yuck). We must have been starving, b/c we finished the large. The breadsticks were not that good and def not worth $5. I don't normally order breadsticks (seems redundant with pizza), but the bread was foccacia, and it sounded interesting. The product though fell a little short. I would be more than happy to return here if we're lucky enough to return to the area. read more

This place is the best great service and food anytime I am up fishing the kenai or on the way to Homer we stop in last time was 2 years ago and this time was just as good. Lot's of local flavor and cute waitresses. I will be back next year.....wish they had mail order! read more

This place is great and never disappoints. Great service and excellent food made with quality ingredients. Everything I have ordered over the years is delicious, but my favorite are the calzones that are crazy good. Even though they are huge, I also try to save room for the amazing desserts. read more

Such a great spot to stop along our road trip to Homer! The staff was SO friendly and the food was exactly what we needed- delicious and quick! Cozy, casual atmosphere. read more

They make the best pizza on the kenai peninsula. They have the best fish and seafood baskets. The most outstanding desserts.

The pizza here at Rosco's is very good! I would say it is the best restaurant in Ninilchik. Admittedly, I didn't have high expectations for a pizza restaurant in small town Ninilchik, but was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the pizza was. I often don't eat the crust of the pizza because it can be disappointing, but I gobbled up all of the crust from every slice! If you are in Ninilchik looking for a bite to eat, come to Rosco's. I'd also add that the service is excellent and the staff is very friendly. We came in with a large group and they took great care of us! read more

There are very few food choices in Ninilchik. Rosco's on the outside is not the most inviting looking place. And we're snobby NY foodies. So we were a little nervous walking into the restaurant. We were glad that the food got rid of any concerns we might have had. The pizza was actually really good, the service was excellent. The ambience isn't so great but we were starving so that was not an issue. I would definitely come back here. read more

This place is fantastic. My Dad ordered the baked lasagne, which came with a green side salad. The salad had nice and fresh leafy green lettuce - none of that cheap iceberg lettuce prepackaged salad nonsense some restaurants serve. His lasagne was beautiful and disappeared quickly. I am a vegetarian and the chef (owner?) came out to talk to me personally and was very accommodating. My dinner was full of veggies and super tasty! Tables were clean and our server was friendly. read more

I haven't been back to Rosco's after that single disappointing trip, but Ross, the owner of Rosco's, has contacted me about my review. I'm impressed and appreciative that he takes feedback so seriously. I value this highly in a business owner. He assures me that our experience at his place was atypical and based on inexperienced staff and cooks at the time, and that this issue has been taken care of. He seems genuine and eager to prove his establishment is a five-star place. I've appreciated my correspondence with him and based on that would be willing to try his restaurant again. I'm not sure if I'll have the opportunity in the near future, but I do wish owners of other establishments took reviews as seriously, respectfully and professionally as Ross has. read more
