Three stars. Good food, decent service, and a nice ambiance overall. There was a piece of cleaning utensil inside the pancake but no biggie they were sorry and asks if we want anything else. read more

Stopped here for lunch today. Service was friendly and efficient. Hubby had a chicken Caesar wrap and I had the Italian grilled cheese. Both were good and my sandwich was nice and hot. It's a simple, comfortable diner. Will definitely go back. read more

Cozy breakfast diner with very friendly/ welcoming staff. Menu includes a lot of options with some basic affordable ones. I personally didn't like the corned beef hash and the potatoes were a bit cold but the eggs were cooked to order and the coffee was on point. read more

Great little diner! Stopped on our way back home, portions were huge!!! We had pancakes- 3 huge enough to share!! The corn beef hash came out extra crispy. The breakfast sandwich was huge- I was half way through before I membered to get a pic. But the highlight was the waitress!! She was hustling and busting her but and didn't miss a beat. Totally stop again! read more

Service is good. Layout is nice. Parking not so great. Then there is the most important thing food.... Went here for breakfast which generally I consider to be the easiest to prepare. However unfortunately I found the corn beef has to be flavorless and the hash browns. Not sure what they tasted like. I had to load up on salt, pepper, hot sauce and ketchup unfortunately. The place has a good reputation so maybe I just hit a bad day. I would give it a shot again but this time not so good. read more

Was in the area and needed to grab some Breakfast and that's when I remembered Rose's Place so I headed over. Many years back and long before I ever started Yelping I had stopped in here and from what I could remember it was a really good diner. Although since then there's Obviously been some changes in ownership here and they definitely aren't as nice and friendly as the previous owners were. Time has a way of changing some stuff so that's not really a big deal.   Anyhow the point is I've been here a few times since and have ordered some Baked Goods and Breakfast Sandwiches to go and in every case they were always very tasty and filling. Whenever I specified that I'd like my Bacon to be cooked Extra Crispy or to put Extra Taylor Ham on there they've always came through for me. Plus add to that they make a decent cup of Coffee here and you've got yourself a returning customer. Come And Get Your Munch On!! read more

Went for breakfast during a road trip. Food was yummy. Came out quickly Coffee excellent! Great service!

Standard small town diner. Very teal and pink decor. Lemon ricotta pancake special was good. No special syrups just standard generic syrup. Iced coffee served in Coke glasses. Waffle wasn't crispy, very soft. Eggs and hash browns were okay. Party of 8 and our food kept coming at different times. read more

Rose's Diner - a table with napkins and other items - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Netcong, New Jersey

I ordered the Cheeseburger omelet which is supposed to be ground beef and American cheese ONLY but it came with big, soggy pieces of onion and green pepper that seemed as if they were just tossed into the omelet from a bowl of room temperature, overcooked veggies. They definitely hadn't been recently sautéed then added to the omelet. I guess I got the Western somehow but that doesn't change the fact that it was very bad. The egg in the omelet was WAY over cooked and completely dried out and the entire omelet looked as if it had been flattened with a rolling pin. I imagine a giant spatula was used to mash it down. I'm a little disappointed. I just moved here and the place is a right around the corner and I really wanted to have a go to spot. read more

This is hands down the best place to get breakfast/lunch. I no longer live in New Jersey but always make sure to make a stop at Rose's while i'm in town. I came to Rose's with some friends for breakfast and was sat immediately. I like how you can pick your own table instead of waiting to be seated. Service was fast and our waitress was so kind and funny. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are a local or just driving through town! read more

Rose's has been in Netcong since 1990. I stopped in for a nice breakfast this morning. This is your real hometown dining spot. It doesn't try to be pretentious, it just serves good food. I chose blueberry pancakes and they were excellent. Service was friendly and prices very reasonable. Parking is on street, but not a problem at all. The place is not big, so there may be a wait for tables, but plenty of room at counter! read more

Absoloutely delicious food! Their special chicken quesadilla is perfection with what a quesadilla should have and taste like! The potato skins are the best I have ever tasted in any restaurant. Seriously so delicious and at a great price. Lets not forget the owners and workers are AMAZING PEOPLE. These people fed Netcong Firefighters when they were taking down a massive fire for hours and never expected compensation. Meanwhile Carmines Trashy Pizza fed the fire fighters but complained when they werent compensated. I know this directly from the fire depot. So...support the better restaurant/owners.....Roses RULES! read more

Very pleasant, clean, and organized establishment. I would certainly recommend a visit here when in the area. Solid breakfast and lunch fare, fresh, and correctly prepared. read more

Outstanding people. Outstanding service. The food is solid nj diner. I wish more places were like this. read more

As someone else noted, this is NOT the same Rose's Place with American Italian cuisine originally owned by the Polo family since 1990, whom immigrated to America from Italy. Now it is something completely different with Armenian and Middle Eastern cuisine. Too bad. Another era of an American favorite is now in the past. A sign of the troubling times in our country. read more

I met a friend here for breakfast and it was a win! French toast was delicious. I ordered eggs with cheese and the cheese was just sitting on top which I thought was odd, but it was served hot and melted when mixed together. Service was quick and friendly. I parked on the street. I would visit again. read more

Rose's Diner - cars parked in front of the store - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Netcong, New Jersey

Okay I don't understand the amazing reviews here. The only great thing I can say was that my food was cheap which luckily it was because they only take cash and I had to pay for my table since no one knew. Yes they do have an ATM if you need it. Service was super slow. We were lucky when we walked in that we got a table right away but I could see how weird it would be to be stalking out tables since they have no hostess managing the process. No list or anything like that. Once we sat it took an hour for us to get our food. We were starving. Almost all of us had eggs over easy with toast and a meat choice. Eggs were fine I mean not that hard to get right after taking an hour on them. The bacon was cooked well as I asked. Homefries has little flavor just cooked potatoes. The French toast was pretty bad. It had burnt griddle egg on it and just tasted like weird hot semi sweet toast. I would not return here. read more

I've eaten at Rose's many dozens of times over the years. To be honest, the old Rose's (when it was owned and run by the Polo's) was a five-star establishment. The new owners are striving to keep the same level of service but are falling a bit short. The food is affordable and service is generally pretty good. read more

Love this place. Old school diner like NJ is famous for. Great service, and the french fries ate crazy good.

Great food, ambience and Service will be back- it's very difficult finding good food in this area

Haven't been in Jersey in a long time. Was told this was a good place to check. Boy were they right. Coffee was great and had a delicious Taylor ham, egg and cheese sandwich. Hit the spot. Service was very good. Will definitely stop here again. read more

Our family stopped by Rose's on a road trip to New York. So glad that we found it! We could tell that this was a place for the locals and for regulars. It has a very warm vibe. The portions are HUGE! And the food was good. Service was fast and good. Clean bathrooms. read more

Rose's is a great local breakfast sandwich spot. It's clean. Food is good and the staff is always nice. Definitely stop by if you're hungry. Or just have a coffee and chat. read more

We had to leave another local diner after we weren't even asked what we wanted to drink after 15 minutes. Drove approx 6 minutes away and found this place. Prompt polite service and big portions. Will be back! read more

New owners, not the same. Service was extremely slow. Only 2 servers when they probably needed 4. Food took over half an hour to come out. I think they were literally cooking one ticket at a time. Kind of gross watching a guy thru the kitchen window eating and licking his fingers while beating the eggs. read more

Waitress must have been having a bad day. Took forever for her to bring our drinks & barely cracked a smile or spoke to us. Service like that really sets the tone for your dining experience. This is a local place with no parking - so the parking is tough. The breakfast that we had - omelet, over-medium eggs were OK but there are other places I'd rather go to with better attitude & food. read more

Solid place for a hometown diner breakfast. We stopped here headed back home from a road trip. Service was friendly and fairly quick, yet the staff still had time to chat with locals. The food was jus reheat you'd expect from this type of location: hearty, well-cooked, and tasty. read more

Very friendly staff, very little wait for food and food very good. Had Taylor pork and American cheese omelet.

Very good food, big portions and friendly service. Reminds me of the diners in the 80's

I used to frequent this little gem for lunch years ago when I worked in the area. I recently remembered it and after all these years it still does not disappoint. If you're in the area for breakfast or lunch I highly recommend you give this place a try. read more

We were there on a Sunday while visiting friends in the area. I wanted a diner-type breakfast and found this place on Google. The place looked packed and my husband immediately said let's not go, but I resisted. What a mistake. There were people waiting when we walked in, but nobody greeted us. I spied 2 counter seats, thinking that our breakfast would come faster. Mistake #2. We ordered scrambled eggs, home fries, toast and my husband had sausage. It took nearly 40 minutes for our food to come out. At one point I noticed somebody calling this woman Rose and she came out and berated the staff for not putting in the orders correctly. But the problem really seemed to be the cooks. There were 3 and although orders were coming out, they were way behind. When we finally got our food, my potatoes were swimming in grease. The scrambled eggs tasted like nothing and the sausage on the side was also very greasy. This place would be a great candidate for Kitchen Nightmares. Gordon! The only good thing I can say is that the waitresses were working damn hard and they were great, despite the long wait. We should have at least gotten our coffee for free. read more

Rose's is a small corner restaurant/diner in Netcong. If you drive over 35 MPH you may miss it and its 6 parking spots but what it lacks in parking it makes up in menu selection. Always equipped with daily specials on soup, sandwiches and entrees, you are always up for a meal that will fill you up. The food is good and the quality of service is what you would expect from a diner. For a nice relaxing lunch, this is a good stopping point. read more

I was very disappointed as this place was recommended to me. I had a omelet with home fries and rye toast. The omelet was decent but the home fries you could tell were old and reheated to the point of being inedible. Also, everything from the table, ketchup bottle, syrup bottle and salt and pepper shakers were sticky and dirty. A semi- decent 24 hr style diner at best. I will not be returning. read more

Love this place! Been coming here for years. However, they should provide a number or waiting list for when you walk in and it's a full house. People wait by the door and by other tables while others are eating. I feel bad waiting around for a table by others while they eat. Nice family place. Food is great! read more

Quaint little diner. The best place to go if you're looking for somewhere you've never gone before. Do yourself a favor and order the eggplant parmesan. read more

I having grown up in NJ know a great diner when I see one. This place is the real deal! Clean! Friendly staff! Fast service! Cozy! Great food! I was getting my car serviced at Family Ford and I am so glad I found this gem! read more

Some of the best and cheapest food around. Love eating here after a long day highly recommend

Best breakfast I had. Nice cute place by the lack. Good service. Quaint little town. We will be back.

I recently went into Rose's Place to get some breakfast on a Friday afternoon. Mildly busy, I looked around for a clean empty table. Three of four tables were empty, but still not cleared. I sat at the counter because it seemed to be the only cleared spot. The waitress taking care of me did everything but care. It almost felt as if she neglected my existence. I understand being a quiet person, but i saw the attention she was giving the other customers; which was the exact opposite customer service I was receiving. The only good thing about my stay was the food even though it took 25 minutes to come out. About half way through my meal, the waitress who hardly checked on me, dropped off the check with out saying a word. After putting my cash on the counter & waiting about 10 minutes for her to retrieve it, I look over to see her texting on her phone, while eating an apple. My experience here may have been better if I had gotten the other up beat, bubbly waitress who had to get a box for me because my waitress was too busy on her phone. read more

I live in Manhattan and have a lake house on Lake Hopatcong. I was at the lake with my wife and kids during the week and decided to get out of the house to have some breakfast and get some work done. I went to Rose's place for breakfast. When I finished my breakfast, I stayed for coffee while answering email and getting some work done. The waitress got increasingly unpleasant and then abruptly grabbed my check and added three coffees to it. I found this very strange since the place was more than half empty. It wasn't as if I was keeping them from having more customers. I brought this to the attention of the owner and let him know that I would happily pay for the coffees, but that he just lost a customer for life. He said he didn't care ... "if I lose one customer, two more walk in." Terrible customer service. I thought I found a place that I would frequent often and bring my family, but at this point I will stay away and recommend that you do too! read more
