I had heard that the place wasn't the same, but the food and service was excellent when the three of us visited in August 2023. Wonderful atmosphere--a Berkshires cross between a down-home breakfast place and an upscale bistro. Sounds a little strange, but it works. I highly recommend Rose's for all the right reasons. read more

Thanks ! Angela Y. read more

HOSPITALITY at it's finest, top notch and classy for the Berkshires. Very impressed by the outstanding service we received. We plan to return back as loyal guests, bring family/friends and spread the word. Our favorite spot to sit with or without our children is the bar. You can watch how much love goes into the place. The owners are on site, working hand and hand with their staff, to satisfy each and every customer. Looking forward to our next visit! read more

Good service, good diner food, decent environment. Pancakes were huge and light cake style with crispy edges (even the short stack was one pancake too many), the eggs just as requested and bacon crisp (if not thick cut). Welcoming and friendly and fairly basic read more

My husband and I liked our food there! Very homey feel and all the roses were a nice decorative touch! Made for a delicious brunch spot.

Amazing food, owner/chef came out to check on every table. Beautifully updated. Ramp could have a better set up but overall a great new spot! read more

This is a nice little diner in Lee Massachusetts. We came here due to the high and complimentary Yelp reviews. The restaurant is in a quaint, little converted red house. There is a parking lot in the back (it's pretty small). Breakfast is served until 12:00 pm. Lunch is comprised mainly of sandwiches and salads. The soup today was a carrot bisque, which was served piping hot. The soup was so good that I wished I had ordered a bowl. For lunch I had the turkey avocado bacon sandwich on toasted wheat bread. I had the onion rings for an extra $.50 charge. Both were excellent! We were just visiting area, and so would come back whenever we are back in the Berkshires. read more

This place is a treasure! My wife and I were visiting the Berkshires last Saturday when we dropped into Roses for breakfast. Never having been there before, we were simply looking for a decent breakfast on a day when restaurants were packed and the Berkshire area was crowded with tourists. Roses was extremely busy and we had to wait for about 20 minutes for a table to open up. But, oh was it worth it! Andreea, who greeted us at the door, has a charming personality and eyes in the back of her head. We watched the show as she chatted with customers, took their breakfast orders, and directed the staff, all at a fast pace while making it look effortless. I have stolen this spot-on description of experiencing Roses, from a previous reviewer: "From the warm hospitality to the meticulously crafted dishes, everything surpassed our expectations. Each plate was a work of art, visually stunning and bursting with incredible flavors." We both ordered the Huevos Rancheros. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the spiciness just right, and the portions huge. The story behind the restaurant should be displayed on their menus for all to see. Andreea and her husband, Fabián, are the new owners of Roses. Andreea, from Romania, runs the room and Fabián, from Argentina is the chef. Their menu reflects their unique blend of both cultures. How did they come to own Roses? During the pandemic, they took a very big gamble. They sold their home and bought the restaurant. Honestly, can you think of a more quintessentially American story? Roses is a Berkshire treasure that you should make a point of discovering. read more

Ate here for lunch on a Sunday just before closing for them @ 2. They were gracious and asked if we could just order quickly as the kitchen was closing. Other than that there was no rush, we could stay as long as we needed. The place is very quaint, the service is very pleasant. The food is surprisingly very good. I say surprising, because you never know up here in the Berkshires. I had the clam chowder which was excellent. Then I had the sauteed fish sandwich, which was actually tilapia. Very nicely cooked fish, on a nice baguette. My wife had the blt, which was huge. See the pictures. The bacon was perfect, nice ripe tomatoes, green leaf lettuce, good mayo, not sure if it was Hellman's, but it was fine otherwise. Prices are reasonable, service is quick and friendly, bathrooms are very clean. We'll be back next time we are in the Berkshires. read more

Seems a bit on the pricey side for what you get. It's a quaint restaurant with a few tables and limited menu for breakfast and lunch. My sausage breakfast burrito had a decent amount of sausage and was tasty, however my husband ordered one with bacon and there was one strip of bacon in the entire burrito. Not what what we expected. The burritos do also have a lot of potato in them as filling. Service was polite and courteous. read more

Quick stop off the mass turnpike , standard side of the road restaurant fare. Had the turkey sandwich on rye with coleslaw near closing time ( 2 pm , watch out late lunchers )... Was rushed to order by the waitress before the kitchen closed... She shouldn't have seated us if she would be able to provide normal service without a rush in my opinion, or at very least warned us it was near closing time before we were seated. As a result , I was rather annoyed during my meal ( perhaps unreasonably so ). As for the food itself : The rye bread was good and the turkey surprisingly moist for deli turkey. The coleslaw was good, but another persons fries were limp ( avoid theses ) . Overall , ok experience. Also , for what it's worth , the hand drier in the spacious bathroom is pretty weak. read more

Roses Restaurant - Spacious bathroom - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lee, Massachusetts

The absolute worst service of any restaurant that we have gone to this week on vacation! Took over 30 minutes to get the wrong drinks of coffee and tea then another 30-40 minutes to get the wrong eggs which were over cooked! read more

Stopped here on a road trip up to martha's vineyard, absolutely delicious meals, great service, and a really lovely place to sit for a little while. bathrooms were super clean and the whole resturant was overall great!!! read more

Yelp, the restaurant has changed owners and Menu. I believe it changed for the better, food and service was awesome.

We've been going to the old Roses for years and loved it! Unfortunately, th new owners have totally lost the local flare of Lee. The decor is way too contemporary for the Berkshire. The prices are outrageous for an egg sandwich or pancakes. The quality is below average. Totally not impressed. It will be our last trip to Roses. read more

We were in the area for four days. This was the best meal we had. It was their soft opening, but it was amazing. Good luck!

Under new ownership! Service was slow for the amount of people there at the time. Plus very overpriced for what you get. No kids menu. Not the old Rosie's Food not great or hot. Been going to Rosie's for years. Don't be fooled by menu online. Not the same when you go there. read more

Pretty bad food, everything was over the top and i had to ask for stuff with notthing like bacon and pancakes. Also, the bacon was so dry 0/10 read more

I hadn't noticed this place before as it's tucked in between a couple hotels but my wife knew about it so we stopped there before getting on the turnpike. We stopped there just as breakfast was ending and they were getting ready for lunch. I had the greek omelet and it was very tasty, a nice combination of items and the omelet part didn't overwhelm it. Coffee was good and they kept our cups full. read more

My husband and I recently ate there on a Monday 8/8/22 and the food was not good. My husband had pancakes with strawberries and cream on the side and he said that the pancakes were dry. I had the shaved steak chipolte and it was not good. The one piece of shaved steak was burnt on all the edges and very tough and dry, the one slice of bread that the steak was served on was very dark almost burnt and hard. The french fries were terrible very dark and poor tasting I think they were done in old oil that needs to be changed. We will not return. read more

After 15 years of stopping there we have decided to find another breakfast location. Very disappointed by new ownership. There's was no deviation from menu items. Wasn't allowed to order a side in addition to the item chosen on the breakfast menu. read more

Small place. Inside very loud when full. It's almost impossible to have a conversation with dinner mates. Food is fresh , can be pricing.

Excellent food and excellent service. Stopped in for breakfast as in Lee for a Tanglewood concert and was more than pleased. Will definitely go back again. read more

Rose's is under new ownership and was completely renovated. The former restaurant was good for a typical breakfast and some quaint old country looking design. The new Rose's is even better. It is beautifully redesigned, very light and open. The menu for breakfast has the usual eggs, waffles, granola, etc however, much tastier, better prepared and the bread is homemade. Staff was lovely; it was crowded and the service was a bit slower as they are adjusting to the newness and the typical challenges getting staff these days. I am very happy to recommend this place and I plan to try lunch there soon. read more

This place is my go to breakfast spot when visiting the Berkshire's. It's not in a big town, it's easy to get to, they have parking and it's so affordable. Their omelette are HUGE, their rye bread is DELICIOUS and their home fries are warm and hearty. Both waitresses I've seen numerous times are very sweet and always ready to come around with coffee refills. Just a delicious home town breakfast spot that's warm and smells of breakfast when you walk in. I have never had to wait, I am an early riser and this place is open early ! Great portions to start your day. read more

We had breakfast here two days in a row . Mocha is excellent food is excellent and the service is on point . So much options and great food !! read more

It's fantastic. Great food. Great staff. We are going back as soon as possible ! Classy yet welcoming.

Stopped in from Western Mass on our way to NR Museum. Excellent service friendly and down to earth. Plus the food was amazing. Ordered the stackable pancakes, fluffy and light. The Polish omelette and Spinach/Mushroom were really good. I'm glad we stopped in as it's a great place for breakfast. Definitely be back when we are in the area. read more

Great place for breakfast; Blueberry pancakes were terrific and eggs cooked perfectly.

We stopped in for breakfast as we were traveling across i90 and didn't expect much. Yeah his place exceeded expectations and was absolutely fabulous. The chef came out and greeted us with a surprise sampler of their homemade sausage and biscuits. A great treat. Portions were more than generous and absolutely fabulous tasting. Will always stop here as I'm traveling through. read more

Very good food and very friendly staff. However, getting your order takes a while as they have limited kitchen ability. We would suggest not going a prime lunch time. Other than that issue this place is worth a visit. read more

The omelettes we had for breakfast was delicious with a capital D. The 1st omelette was the special of the day mushrooms, onions and pepper jack cheese. The second omelette was the spinach, bacon and American cheese both were too kill for. The waitress greeted us with an amazing smile and treated us like we were locals. That was a special touch which can make this place amazing for any customer. I would definitely come back on my next visit. read more

Amazing. Great service, wonderful food. Absolutely recommend for breakfast. Baked good made in house. Delicious!!

Really solid food and I enjoyed the vibe. Was just visiting. But would go again when I return

This place has changed ownership and is not reminiscent of the traditional mom and pop diner vibe it used to have. There are still plenty of those places in Lee. This place was recently purchased by the new owners - a chef and front-of-house couple - who made major upgrades to the physical place. The food is impeccably and locally sourced, they do their own smoking, make their mocha sauce for the lattes, and everything has a beautiful presentation. The dinnerware is lovely. Coffees are all sourced and special. Can't wait to go back! I hope they do great business. read more

This hidden gem is so great. Service is quick and friendly. Have been here a few years ago for breakfast and it was delightful and returned for a delicious lunch. The homemade chicken rice soup was the best I've had, which sold out within the hour of the lunch service being open. My son who is super picky about his chicken tenders said they were super yummy. He also loved the sweet potato fries as well. The best part is if you are gluten sensitive any of their sandwiches can be made with gluten free bread which was delicious! read more

I waited with anticipation for Rose's to reopen after the new owner shut down for renovations. Had lunch there and was extremely disappointed. First, my 2 favorite waitresses were no longer there. They were part of what made Rose's such a great place, and will be missed. The menu is extremely limited with very few lunch options, and the prices are too high. I fail to understand why someone would buy a successful business, virtually a turnkey operation, and change it so drastically. I would be very surprised if the new Rose's is successful. This is a real loss for the town of Lee. read more

Very busy- waited to be seated. The hostess moved a single person from the 5 top to ensure we could sit quickly. She was a bit rude doing so and then didn't change the place (silverware) setting where he was siting and drinking coffee. When I sat I asked her to change and she rudely ripped off the table and went to get new. I'm Sorry but I didn't know what he did or didn't use. Waitress was lovely and fantastic!! After the hostess issue, everything was good. GL toast, eggs cooked to perfection! Out of hash so couldn't rate that :( WhT we did eat was 4 stars. The hostess and first impression unfortunately gives me giving 3 stars. read more

Very friendly staff. Breakfast was very good. I had a spinach and mushroom omelette. They use fresh spinach. A big plus in my opinion. The restaurant is clean except for ceiling fans and light fixtures. Full of dust. read more

Easy to find off the highway, friendly and quick service. My portion of food was huge. I believe it was a polish omelet. The potatoes were yummy and the omelet I gave some away. Unfortunately the portion for my friend was really small. It looked like two table spoons of hash with an. Egg upon each. Overall the food was good and the price was right! read more
