This place continues to be a classic, little lunch stop with simple but beyond delicious sandwiches, burgers, soups, salads, and pie. It's the best place to stop in for lunch to see just about everyone that you know in town. The service from every waiter is always friendly and the atmosphere always reminds me of an old school restaurant. A very quaint place to be! read more

A great place to see smiling faces while enjoying a good meal. The pies melt in your mouth and so worth going back for.

Service was great the wait staff was very helpful. They have great sandwiches, salads, soup of the day usually two and quiche. The restaurant is known for their pies. There were at least 10 choices. All that we choice were fabulous. I had the Reuben sandwich which was excellent! Also had freshly made potato salad. For dessert I had banana split pie. Mmmmmmm. read more

Wow. Just wow. We are visiting my husband's home town from Chicago and came for a quick lunch before we hit the road. We were both blown away. The Rosebriar was a favorite of my in-laws thirty years ago, but it seems new owners have been able to both maintain the historic charm of the area while still keeping current with the times. Everything was absolutely delicious, especially the Ruben and strawberry custard pie, and the service was outstanding. Sincere southern hospitality, great food, and cute decor. This is on my must visit list every time we make it back to Albemarle! read more

The last time I went to Rosebriar they did not have air conditioning and it was in the summertime I don't know if they fixed it because I haven't been back They have awesome desserts but they're not good enough to sweat and eat !! The waitresses did not care that it was hot and the temperature was unbearable they should've closed the place down that day hot food and a hot restaurant with no air conditioning was just too much to deal with I didn't return they probably had the air conditioning fixed by now but this was something that left a bad impression on me so I choose not to return as of yet........... read more

Rosebriar Restaurant is an old grocery store that is now a lunch spot. Nothing ever changes here, which is why it's so popular. Homemade soups and salads (macaroni, potato) made daily. They make dozens of fresh pies daily also....so so yummy! Nice atmosphere. Business crowd. Only open weekdays for lunch. I could eat an entire banana split pie alone! Friendly southern hospitality. read more

My husband and I drove to Albemarle to go to R. P. M. Cycles. We stopped for lunch at the Rosebriar. We were both very happy with our lunch. I had the chicken and rice soup and a Swiss burger my husband did the jalapeño burger. The service was wonderful. You definitely need to stop. Make sure you bring some cash. You will not be disappointed. read more

One of my all-time favorites! There is nothing on the menu I don't like. The sandwiches are amazing, along with the burgers and quiche. Make sure and leave room for pie - or do like I do and eat it first! You won't be disappointed. read more

Burgers were excellent! - Rodeo Burger WOW - Cheddaburger was great. Traveling through from Oregon. This will be great memory !!! Thank you for a great meal!! read more

The food here is standard lunch fair - hamburgers, sandwiches, and salad plates. It has a nice, neighborhood atmosphere. Bring cash because they do not take cards. The pies have all been no-bake on my visits. If you enjoy no-bake style pies, you are in luck. Rosebriar has a wide variety of flavors. read more

The reviewers are right...the pie is delicious! I had the banana split pie and it was so good I ordered a piece to go, but I forgot it...damn, damn, damn. The chicken salad on croissant was great. My only complaint is they need some new chairs in this establishment. My coworker fell because their chair broke and they wouldn't even offer her a complimentary piece of pie. Furthermore, the waitress showed no sympathy and even asked her why is she breaking the chairs? #whodoesthat #thataintright read more

The food is delectable--particularly their pies!!! I would recommend it as a good lunch spot. My only criticism is that they don't accept credit cards. Therefore, if you plan on eating there, bring cash. read more

I had a good experience her at Rosebriar. I used Yelp to find a new place to eat in Town. I am not much of a pie person but my friend is. We both loved the pie that we had to have after reading the reviews. I had the Bluboy burger which was good. All in all the food was decent and their specialties are pies. I would go again. read more

Don't know what all the hoopla is about with this place. First off, their limited hours (11 - 2 M-F ONLY) meant they are not open at times when I would be able to dine there. C'mon, how hard would it be to be open on Saturday, or even Sunday for brunch? The menu has a wide selection of lunch fare--narrowing my selection was difficult. I settled on the cold plate: chicken salad, macaroni salad, potato salad, and fruit. *sigh* The chicken salad had WAY too much mayonnaise, as well as an odd, tangy flavor that bordered on being rancid. I ordered a _cold_ plate. The potato salad and macaroni salad were both a little *warm*. This made them gross, not to mention the potato salad also had WAY too much mayonnaise. I felt like I was being served mass produced slop from the grocery store deli. And the fruit? Straight from a can. Except for the honeydew slice, which was rock hard. Now, as for the pie, the selections were also numerous. I was leaning toward the pecan when I was told it was not made in-house. Nix that! *sigh* The pie was also mostly a disappointment. The biggest strike being that the crust was obviously frozen. To their credit, the staff was very friendly and on-the-spot with refills. I will come back to try some of their other dishes. Thus far, however, I am rather unimpressed. read more

Nice place for a different lunch experience with fresh food. Make sure you try one of the pies for desert! Yummy!

Fabulous food at great prices. . . . I have eaten there at least once a week for years and have never once been disappointed. My favorite is the French Dip with potato salad and the pies and cupcakes are the best ever! read more

Good soups and sandwiches, but you really go for the pie. Be sure to order yours when you sit down -- if you don't, your favorite may not be there when you're through eating. read more
