I pulled into the parking lot at 10:50am and there were a number of groups already waiting in the parking lot waiting to get in. I was just stopping in to get a lemon blueberry pie on the recommendation of one of my neighbors. I was greeted and asked for one to go and let me tell you this was the best pie I have ever had in my 60 years. The restaurant was clean and the menu was extensive. Private parking lot with plenty of spaces. read more

My first visit in the 24 years I've lived in the area. I was very excited and the experience was incredible. The history of the restaurant dates back nearly 70 years. We had the Valentine Day special, prime rib, baked potato, house salad and dessert. Service was quick and friendly. Looking forward to another visit soon. Thank you !!!! read more

Outstanding place to eat, good ole country cooking, me and my wife eat there about twice a month. Had oysters the other night yummy good with all the fix'n's. read more

What a wonderful hidden gem. We were on our way from Kure Beach to Greenville. After we left Wilmington there was not a lot of restaurants near by. We walked in around 7 pm on Saturday night the restaurant was spotless, everything was clean from the condiments to the women's bathroom. My husband got the Captain's Platter, it had flounder, oysters, scallops, shrimp, crab cake and two sides. I got two seafood grilled shrimp and scallops with two sides. The seafood was fresh and seasoned just right. The oysters were nice and lumpy. The service could not be better. If you want a soda be prepared to get a can. Don't leave without getting a slice of cake. 16 layers of cake was delicious. We will definitely be back. read more

This is a great local restaurant. My wife always gets the fried oyster and scallop dinner. I like to try some of everything. This last visit I had the BBQ Pork Ribs with turnip greens and coleslaw. Everything was very good and we finished with a piece of their Blueberry Lemon Pie. read more

Rose Hill Restaurant - Their famous Lemon Blueberry Pie. Available only for a listed time, late May to Mid-August. - American Near Me - Rose Hill, North Carolina

Fried flounder, fried chicken, French fries, mashed potatoes, green eats and hushpuppies was what was for lunch. OH, MY!!! Good ole east coast country cooking at it's best. It hasn't changed in all these years since I was a kid and would go with my parents and grandparents. No disappointment here! A local independently ran business that has thrived for, I know, at least 45 years. Go and eat. You won't be disappointed! read more

Pit cooked dailey, hand chopped, pork bbq. Very nicely done! Not over cooked as I often find. Their homemade Eastern NC vinegar sauce was great, not too sweet. Hush puppies are the best I've had in as long as I can remember. Very light not dense and chewy. Even the coleslaw gets a mention for not being too sweet or too much dressing. Service was friendly. Would definitely go back next time. I'm in the area. read more

They charge me something different every single time I eat here and it's just another country restaurant that doesn't seem to really have all their $h!t together. I only eat here because it's literally the only thing in Rosehill. They also got new ranch and new honey mustard and they're awful. They suck. They actually lost my business because they don't have good ranch anymore or good honey mustard. read more

Upon my first visit to Rose Hill, I was happily surprised by this local establishment. You can travel far a wide over the South and hardly come across a restaurant like this with such a long standing tradition of serving hearty meals to hungry locals in a nondescript spot. Entering the restaurant feels like a combination of a diner and home at the same time. To the right is a hallway that looks strait out of a colonial home. A wood floor stretches down the narrow room, capped by a fireplace with a quaint selection of antiques and pictures. There are multiple rooms beyond this entryway that you can rent out for family and community events. On the walls you will see the history of the restaurant and photos of Ruth Buckner making her locally renown lemon blueberry pie. TIP: Try to get there during blueberry harvest, as this pie is only available seasonally. Once seated, we were handed one page menus with a brief history of the RHR on the back. The prices are very reasonable, most selections are under $10, so I splurged and ordered a fried chicken sandwich, which came out hot with lettuce and tomato, a barbecue sandwich (chopped pork), with a side of collard greens. The chicken sandwich was crispy and tender, the bbq sandwich was what you'd expect from a solid Southern styled eatery - moist and perfect for their house brand tomato based sauce. If you like collard greens, I'd recommend getting a side of them with your meal as they literally seemed to melt in my mouth. They had a light tinge of vinegar, but predominately tasted great with hints of butter and salt. Our waitress was busy and hardworking taking care of several tables during an active lunch hour. Overall, if you are looking for a quick bite, while traveling in or nearby Rose Hill, I'd definitely recommend this for people looking for old school southern grub. Enjoy! read more

We love the food and the family style ambiance. Everyone was very friendly. It's handicapped accessible for my dad.

This is my favorite local restaurant. Southern food and sweet staff make it better. The crab cakes are my fav.

The best home cooking and freshest seafood you could ask for. Convenient from I-40. Warm and friendly atmosphere. Great personal customer service. Daily specials. Be sure to save room for the desserts. They are home made. Definitely don't pass this by. read more

I really and truly hate to down a place from my home county, BUT facts are facts. A friend of mine was going to be coming through Duplin county and asked me to ride along. I mentioned that the Rose Hill Restaurant had been around forever and supposedly had good food. Perhaps we hit at a bad time, but the hushpuppies were SO greasy that 2 hours later I'm still trying to get the grease out of my mouth. I had the sirloin steak tips, advertised as a daily special for $8.75; but somehow the bill for the 2 came up to $30.00. I'm still puzzled by the math there, since mine was $8.75 and his was $13 even. My meat was good, the green beans were fine, but for me the killer was the over greasy hushpuppies. What's sad to me is that growing up in this area my parents NEVER ate here, I guess I now know why. My friend felt so sick after TRYING to eat, he skipped trying the Key lime pie. So, I can't comment on the desserts. Here's the breakdown: Sirloin tips, good, cooked right, but was overcharged for my plate. Green beans, okay, nothing special. Friends' crab cake tasted very fishy, frozen French fries, slaw that looked like it came from the grocery store, and again the GREASY hushpuppies. Before ANYONE pounces, let it be known that I am a great lover of the hushpuppy! I've been known to eat so many I couldn't eat my "real" food. Their flavor was okay, just GREASY. I'm known to have a cast iron stomach, but I think the iron may be pitted after this. After sleeping on this 2 nights with an upset stomach I have to add the following: Flies were all over the place. Bathroom was dirty. Waitress began cleaning floor right behind us while we were trying to eat. Water wasn't refilled. Would I go here again? Hell, NO! Would I eat anywhere anyone recommended that thought this was good? Hell, NO! read more

Great, fresh BBQ! We arrived with a party of 11, we were seated promptly and the wait staff was wonderful. Lunch took a little while due to another large function in the back, however the waitress was very attentive and kept our drinks full. We definitely recommend this place, great food, good service and very reasonable prices. read more

Was recommended by a Duplin Co farmer. We stopped on the way to Wrightsville Beach. One word: WOW!!! The restaurant is gorgeous and spotless. The food is exceptional. Absolutely get the lemon blueberry pie. We plan on timing beach travel to stop here every trip. read more

We stopped at Rose Hill restaurant on our way to Myrtle Beach. It was raining on a cold summer day and it was a little bit uncomfortable inside because of the AC. I had the rib eye steak, medium rare, it was cooked to perfection. He had a double cheeseburger. Actually two, because they were tiny, but delicious. This place has one of the best hush puppies I've ever tried. Friendly service, cheap prices, good food. If I'm ever nearby, definitely coming back. read more

Traditional, southern small town diner. Good value, friendly staff. Wife had the fried scallops, said they were some of the best she's ever had. Good value, 2 of us ate dinners with appetitizer, bill $23 before tip and taxes. read more

The restaurant is found in a small town.. way off of I 40.. My family had mixed reviews..what we all agreed on was the lack of veggie choses. I had the fried pork chop with mash potatoes and cabbage loved it.. however, the Mac and chez was not good at all.. the crab sandwich was expensive but good.,..the stuff chicken was ok.. read more

This is a good local restaurant that has deep roots in Duplin Co. The food is usually really good, and tends to have a lot of returning customers. They are known for their chicken tenders and lemon blueberry pie (only seasonal). A majority of the waitstaff are great. It has an old school vibe that is kinda locked in time, but fits. If you're looking for a home cooking style dinner, this is it. read more

Here we are again at the Rose Hill Restaurant. Where fine food and a family atmosphere are outstanding. read more

I have worked in the area for over 20 years and have visited Rose Hill Restaurant many times. The food is decent across the menu. The ticket times are slow. I can accept these observations but the service is deplorable. The servers are rude and not very attentive. The cashier seems to ring up the same meal differently each visit when prices are same. It is regrettable that I feel impressed to leave such a lack luster review. I do not recommend this restaurant. read more

Very good country breakfast. We got run out of Topsail due to Dorian but going home this was a treat. If you are looking for clean and nice place to eat with great food I highly recommend Rose Hill Restaurant for breakfast. read more

This is a nice restaurant with a warm hometown atmosphere. My parents and I went to dinner here tonight while I was visiting. The service was wonderful. Cindy was our waitress. She was sweet and quite efficient. We asked many questions to which she didn't hesitate to politely respond...even with us arriving 30 mins before closing. There were only 4 other tables being served at the time so it wasn't as busy as one would expect for a Saturday night...perhaps this is a nice norm for a small town. Cindy brought us delicious hush puppies prior to our food arriving. Our food came within about 15 mins or so and was delicious. We had liver with gravy & onions, grilled pork chop (thick, t-bone), grilled ribeye steak...baked sweet potato, string beans, mashed potatoes, turnip greens, baked potato, Italian creme cake. Again, we enjoyed everything and ordered more to take home for tomorrow's lunch. My parents & I plan to make this a monthly date night! read more

What a hidden gem in the middle of the Rose Hill countryside. They have the freshest t fried chicken, oysters and shrimp that I've tasted in quite some time. Their dessert specials are better than Grandma used to make. A must try is the pig-pickin'cake and 16 layer chocolate cake. This place is yummy to the tummy.... read more

Mixed bag of reviews. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive. Went with my hubby and three teenagers on our way to the beach. Previous reviews and grumbling tummies along with limited options sent us past the World's Largest Frying Pan and on to Rose Hill. Fresh fried chicken was excellent. Would have loved the coating to be a bit crispier, but the white meat was cooked well and juicy. Better than grandmas which is plenty juicy, but pink and raw. BBQ pork plate was rated well. Pork sandwich and the two steaks were so so on reviews from the kids. 16 layer cake got a weak review from all of us. Frosting was ok, but not great. Other desserts in the cooler looked better, but my son wanted the 16. I would go back and try it again. Great family restaurant to break up a boring drive. read more

What a hidden little GEM! Seriously this place was great! Can't miss it if you're here!
