Ordered takeout. A burger. Came wellllllll done with no condiments. Literally a dry burger. Never asked if I wanted condiments when ordering. No napkins in the bag. The fries were 10/10 but again no ketchup?????? Like this should have some aioli or something on it for 35 dollars. Presentation and looks tasty but was near inedible it was so dry and had zero flavor. I couldn't have squeezed 1 drop of moisture out of this burger patty. read more

Rose's - Burger - Mediterranean Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

Rose's personally doesn't do anything for me. The menu lacks the 'eat me' calling, and I think a lot of it relates back to the prices. $16 for a hamburger? $1.50 to add cheese? $2 to update to fries for a $20 burger? The food tastes fine, but it's not $20 average dish price wow-worthy IMO. Service has always been good when there, and place is cute and has a nice Reeds Lake view. Parking can be a big issue since it has a very small lot and the place is popular. Again, the food is fine - it's just not going to be my go-to spot. read more

We just had dinner at Rose's for the first time, and had a wonderful experience! Our server, Tim F. was absolutely incredible and made the entire evening so enjoyable! Food exceeded expectations and our overall night was great. Thank you again! read more

Excellent service. I wished I had asked my server's name last night to give him a shoutout here because he was so kind. It's also a beautiful restaurant. I sat on the heated, enclosed patio overlooking the water and it was so serene. Ordered the shrimp scampi and it was yummy; shrimps were large and well cooked. My only complaint was the sauce was a bit too brothy/watery but my server brought me bread to mop it up. Great place for a date. read more

SERVICE: 5 FOOD QUALITY: 5 DRINK QUALITY: 5 ORDER TIME: 5 AESTHETICS: 5 NOISE LEVEL: 5 MENU SELECTION: 5 OVERALL EXPERIENCE: 5 What a wonderful treat right on the water. Pretty large restaurant on Reeds lake with a first come first serve policy. We were able to get a table with a lake view within minutes on Memorial Day weekend. We ordered roses chips which were absolutely amazing. The sauces are to die for. My favorite was the warm cheese fondue it came with. For my entree I ordered the seared tuna and it was cooked to perfection. The edamame salad with onions and cashews was to die for. I ordered a French rosé wine which went perfect with the fish. They have a wonderful selection of wines if you like wine as well. The outside of the building doesn't look like anything special but when you step inside it has this feel of a San Fransisco wharf restaurant with the decor and the pier of boats on the lake. If you want a great meal with a great view and superb service then you want to make a trip to roses. read more

We stopped for lunch following the recommendation from the Orvis store, Trent. We are from out of town. The whole experience was great. We ordered the special pizza which had smoked salmon, caramelize onions and poached garlic. It was fantastic. The waitress was very attentive. Highly recommend. read more

This place has been on our radar for quite some time and we made it last Sunday at last! The location is one of the best in GR and the fall colors all around makes it even prettier. We sat outside on the waterfront as it was a beautiful sunny day and the food was just as good! Ask for the freshly baked bread to start with and you won't be disappointed. I chose the Rose's Burger with bacon and swiss cheese and it was made to perfection... the well done yet juicy meat coupled with pickles and pasta salad made it a wholesome dish. My wife chose the potato crusted walleye risotto and that was quite spot on as well. We finished our lunch off with the tiramisu and quite honestly it was one of the tastiest we ever had. Our server Kimberly was very attentive and the food came out without much delay. Overall we loved everything about this place and will love to come back sooner than later! read more

Positive first...great location, seated quickly, and the appetizer came quickly. Then, the waitress disappeared. 15 minutes before she came back to take our order. Long wait for food. 3 of us ordered beef tenderloin special. When food was served mine was placed in front of me and waitress said, "We ran out of tenderloin so taking $10 off for the smaller portion on yours." I was so surprised I didn't say anything. I should have been given the option to order something different when they realized they did not have a full serving. My tenderloin was half the size of the others' who ordered the same. Service was slow throughout the meal. I really want to like this place but notoriously slow and the weird handling of my order. read more

To start off, the service was absolutely phenomenal The food was fresh and the patio seating on a nice day was perfect. Highly recommended read more

Great location and a fairly diverse menu with some novel pizzas and seafood options. I also appreciated that the server was willing to make meaningful suggestions about dishes. It's also a place with real history behind it, which is fun in an age where so many businesses are basically disposable. read more

Always a good meal. Love sitting outside on deck! Been coming here for years never disappoints!

Rose's has it all...I've been coming here for decades and it's never let me down. From the setting that looks out over Reeds Lake, the comfortable and relaxing ambience, the menu with just about something for everyone, and the "bend over backward" service from the wait staff, Rose's gas always been a great spot to dine and meet with special friends and loved ones. Oh, and the food had always been delicious too! The only down side in my opinion has been the occasional lack of available parking...although the longer walks also provide opportunity for getting in some necessary steps while taking in the natural beauty along the lakeshore. If you have never been to Rose's and are looking for a special place to meet and eat in the Grand Rapids area, this just might very well be and become a lial favorite of yours as well. read more

Rose's is always a great choice on nice weather days in Grand Rapids. The lake views are unbeatable. The food has a nice variety and isn't overpriced. Today I played it simple and went with the burger and a beer...no complaints at all. They don't take reservations, but we showed up around 1130pm and there were plenty of great seats outside. By 12-12:15 the outdoor patio was basically full, so plan accordingly. read more

Rose's - Rose's burger with fries - Mediterranean Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

The potato crusted walleye was delicious! The lobster ravioli was meh. The shrimp ceviche and creme brûlée were very good. If you order a Manhattan, be sure and specify 'straight up' or you're getting a glass full of ice with your cocktail poured over. Also, what's with the sports bar level maraschino cherries? You'd think Luxardo cherries would be served in a $16 cocktail. read more

From the ambience to the friendly staff, the experience was excellent. As we walked in we were greeted by Brooklyn, who not only greeted us with a good evening and a smile, but let us know that there were a couple seats at the bar available if we didn't want to wait longer. We decided to sit at their bar and have dinner and would highly recommend the chicken Parmesan. Overall, a really good time to be had. Wonderful views by the way. read more

Limited parking but overall really nice workers and great atmosphere. We started off at the bar with their Roses lemonade it's so refreshing and good made with Tito's. They have gluten free crust for their pizza and told them it was an allergy which they took precautions with. The pizza was great!! I love the pepperoni and the pineapple was a nice touch. My partner got the pasta special which was good but for him the portion was too small. This place gets packed so make reservations or walk in and know that there will be a wait which you can spend at the bar. read more

This is a nice place to go in the summer and have some appetizers and drinks on the deck. Other than that, the decor inside reminded me of a retirement community and the food is just ok. I will say the service was good as we had a large party and they were able to get us in fairly quickly and the server kept up with everything we needed. read more

Somehow I have grown up in GR and have never been to Roses before this dinner. We stopped in for our anniversary dinner around 6pm and the wait was almost an hour and a half. It is nice to be able to walk around the park and sit by the water while you wait for a phone call when your table is ready. The service was very friendly but our server was pretty awkward. We started with the root chips and they were fantastic. My wife enjoyed the goat cheese dip and I loved the pepper dip. For our dinner, I had the Sesame Seared Yellowfin Tuna. For being in Michigan, it wasn't horrible. It was prepared properly and I loved the side mix of cashews/veggies. The tuna wasn't the best in the world, but it's what you'd expect in Grand Rapids. My wife had the Parmesan Crusted Chicken and she enjoyed it. The portion was large and the server even said it was the biggest chicken he has seen come out of the kitchen. Overall, cool atmosphere with a nice view of the water. You'll end up waiting for a table and the COVID rules don't help that issue. The food is tasty but nothing too amazing. The drink list is average at best. For being Grand Rapids, they could offer a lot more local beers. read more

Stopped by for lunch on our way back to Chicago. The Reuben sandwich is absolutely phenomenal. The bread is fresh, the thousand island dressing is made in house. The corned beef was lean. Also, had a cup of chicken rosemary soup which was exceptional. Lastly, if you are lucky enough to have Julie as your server, you hit the jackpot. read more

A nice play to go for lunch with scenic views. We came as a party of 4 and ordered the vegetable bruschetta, a pizza, the risotto, and seared yellowfin tuna. The food was good, the highlight for me was the risotto. Service was also great and our server was very attentive. Recommend! read more

We love absolutely everything about Rose's. The location and being on the water just adds to whole experience. We've come here many times and have always been happy with everything we have ordered, but one of our favorite things are the root chips. The service is always great, but the last time we were there, Logan did a phenomenal job. She was so attentive, gave some great suggestions, talked highly of the restaurant, and just was a warm and bubbly presence that really stood out. We always love getting the little bit of caramel corn with our bill as well. We cannot recommend this place enough! read more

We went for lunch- on the weekend- place was packed. There had been a graduation, so that explained the crowd. We were seated immediately - got our drinks in a timely manner. The staff were friendly and hustling, working the crowd. There was a very long wait once we ordered our lunch. Everyone was happy with their food- (4 in our group). However my Ruben- was so over heated the corned beef was dried out, as were the sweet potato fries. Because it was soooo busy - I didn't complain to the server. Not her fault. We will most likely come back to Roses - it is a landmark in the area of Grand Rapids. I was visiting from NJ. read more

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was quaint and warm. The waiter, Marcus, inviting and knowledgeable about the menu and the area. Will definitely return on our next vacation. read more

I came here after bike riding around reed lake on lunch rush hour. I had quick seating on the inside patio. On this chilly Day the patio was Well heated and very warm! The servers were swamped but doing well. Took about 10-15 minutes after seating for service. After ordering everything came out pretty quick. Thankful-- The server brought out the kids Mac and cheese and fries for the little one because it was finished before my tacos. I always love when servers do that. All the food was great. I would recommend the fish tacos and a side order of chips. I don't eat Mac and cheese but the little one loved it! Will be back soon! Enjoy the sunshine, Jennah read more

Rose's - Nice calm lake lunch - Mediterranean Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

This place is consistent...great food, great staff, Nice lake setting. Sat in the covered patio for lunch. The farro salad is one of my favorites with broccoli slaw, feta, pepitas, dried cherries. My dad ordered a new menu item - cauliflower rice bowl and loved it. My mom ordered the burger, and it was cooked a perfect medium and came with their delicious root chips. The staff have always been so friendly and love the delicious caramel corn you get with your bill (and can buy a small bag too if you like). Parking is limited. read more

Roses has always been a go to when in GR. It sits on a beautiful lake with a wonderful atmosphere. Once inside you will be greeted and seated. The appetizers are filling and delicious. The main courses are many and before I went plant based i really enjoyed the burgers. Now its the salmon or the walleye both excellenat. Did i mention the drinks and the bar tenders, non better. So when you want to get away but stay in the city do yourself a solid and piny up to the bar for an enjoyable experience. read more

Cutest restaurant! The best vibes by the water and service was amazing. A little underwhelmed by the food I have to say which was for sure a bummer. Not a ton of flavor but a very fun evening nonetheless! read more

We had lunch here today and boy what a great decision that was. The location on Reed's Lake is spectacular and we sat outside to better enjoy the view and the great weather. Our waiter was so nice and informative and made excellent recommendations which we took and were happy we did. We had the Root chips with two different dips which were so yummy. We split a salad that had mixed greens, roasted red peppers and artichokes. Then we split the Walleye fish with Swiss Chard and risotto. Delicious! We will be back. We highly recommend eating here. read more

Can I give this place more than 5 stars? TIM IS MAYBE THE BEST WAITER EVER!!! I was visiting family in Grand Rapids from Brooklyn, NY, and a stranger recommended Rose's to me. I am so glad I went it! The food was fresh & amazing (I loved the salmon), but Tim really made the night. Thank you Tim & Rose's for making our family reunion extra special. We will be back!! read more

Excellence. Excellence is a word given to things that exceed expectations. Excellence to me is nothing less than Rose's in East Grand Rapids. Let me start with the lemonade. This lemonade tasted like a strawberry river with a zing of happiness. Next up, the pizzas. Chicken Pesto with no Artichoke. And a Margherita. Yummy in my tummy. But of course none of this would be possible without our lovely server Marcus. Marcus was not only an exemplary server but an truly HEROIC person. Marcus went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. Me and my associates love Marcus and we love Rose's. read more

Rose's - Perfect view with a nice glass of Rose' - Mediterranean Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

In my opinion, Rose's is a solid three stars. Ambiance is great if you can sit outside with a lake view, but the decor kind of feels like a visit to your grandmothers house or a Denny's if you sit inside. The appetizers are fantastic, but I've never liked an entree I've ordered here, and neither have any of my friends. Service is hit or miss, but has been mostly miss in my experience as well. I think this is a great stop for some apps and a drink or two if you can grab an outside table. Otherwise, I'd probably skip and drive a few minutes to much better options in the neighborhood. read more

Been to Rose's so often throughout the last 30 years and their food & service have always been very very good. Zero complaints!

Always love to sit by the lake! Great food, service, and ambience makes for an excellent venue
