Very quaint small breakfast lunch restaurant. Wonderful service by a very courteous people. Even the bathrooms are well decorated. The food was fabulous the coffee divine. I had the à la cart omelette. Choice of five of the items that can go under an omelette for the same price. it was delicious. I recommend anyone going through the stop in and just enjoy this unique friendly restaurant. read more

We loved "the old Roses" for its fair prices, tasty breakfast/brunch choices and kind waitstaff. We haven't been since it has been under new owners so we were excited to try it out. I always want to support local businesses and I might go back and try it again but our experience was not great. Here are some reasons why: 1) service is very slow. It appeared as if they had plenty of help but for some reason bacon & eggs and a Bfast burrito took almost 40 Minutes to make. 2) Freshly squeezed OJ is not as advertised. I love freshly squeezed OJ and am ok paying a premium for this. Sadly this was just Tropicana OJ. It didn't have a nice fresh zing that OJ is supposed to have. That was disappointing. 3) prices are high and you leave feeling nickel And dimed. I ordered the bacon and eggs which came 3 pieces of very nice toast. I asked for butter and jam or jelly. They brought me a "berry compote". It was way too sweet and had the taste of uncooked cornstarch in it. The kicker was I was charged 75 cents for this. I just wanted a Smuckers peel back jam or jelly so this was disappointing. Everything seems to be an extra charge - extra refill on coffee, jam, guacamole etc. 4) inconsistent quality. The bacon was a nice quality, but one slice was limp and one slice was crispy. The breakfast burrito had a chopped up fried egg versus scrambled eggs and we specifically asked about that before we ordered it. There was some very nice sausage, but there were only a few small pieces in the burrito. It was just disappointing. Overall paying almost $50 for two breakfast entrées and an orange juice is just very expensive. If the quality was great, and the service was great, I wouldn't hesitate but overall it was just a disappointing experience. The last thing I'll add is that we specifically asked for no guacamole and there was guacamole on the plate so we had to ask to make sure that we were not charged for it. we were also told that they did mimosas and had beer and wine, but there was no menu and it was so busy and loud that without a proper menu we weren't really interested in trying to hear what the choices were. Hopefully they will have a written menu for the beverage choices, which I think it only help. read more

I love it here! Roses are my favorite thing in the world, so I loved that they went all the way with that theme. Lovely place, great service, our waitress was kind and helpful. The food was very good, especially for their very very low prices. Generous portions, too. I went here when I was about 8 and loved it, and had been thinking about it every so often since then and wondering if it would live up to my expectations. 10 years later, and Rose's exceeded them. So grateful this restaurant exists! Truly a hidden gem. read more

Had there been there a little more care with what goes on in the kitchen, this would have been a rave 4-star review. But first the good things. The restaurant is gorgeous! Befitting a place called Roses, the walls are rosy pink with rose accented wallpaper and curtains. What kind of artwork is on the walls? Why pictures of roses of course. Service was pretty good with quite a few check backs and refills. We walked in at 12:20 on a Sunday and were disappointed that the Breakfast menu was shut off, but hey.... the lunch menu looked pretty good with all kinds of reasonably priced sandwiches and burger and salads. We each went for a sandwich, namely a BLT and a Chicken Salad that ran $8 or $9 apiece with fries and a pickle.. My BLT may have been the BIGGEST BLT I have ever seen. Calling it a BLT doesn't do it justice, because it actually was an LTBLTBL, or lettuce, tomato, bacon, lettuce, tomato, bacon, and lettuce. It was so thick it looked like a triple decker sandwich. I upgraded to onion rings for a buck. The Chicken Salad was obviously home-made and pretty generously portioned. So where were the missteps? Here ya go. There was a bone in the chicken salad sandwich, and that could have been a real problem. The onion rings looked great on the outside, but they were a pile of mush on the inside. The bacon in the BLT, although a prodigious amount, was cooked very unevenly. Most of it was crisp and well cooked, but there were a few undercooked gross flabby pieces. I showed a piece to our server and there really wasn't much of a reaction. I could have sworn that every sandwich came with a pickle (I tried to check the website menu to be sure, but I can't find their website anywhere). Anyway, my BLT had no pickle. The chicken salad sandwich had one and just about every sandwich photo on their Yelp page has one also. If any of these missteps was the only one, I'd be OK with it -accidents do happen, right? But the accumulation of three and possibly four means to me that that there needs to be a bit tighter quality control back there behind the kitchen door. Otherwise, this would have been a rave 4-star review. read more

A step above most breakfast places I have been to. The remodeled inside is very nice and much more contemporary than I remember from before ownership change. The server/hostess/ owner for all I know was Extremely knowledgeable and detailed in describing the wonderful local sources of everything and how they make the sausage and breads. The Berkshire biscuit meal was a great collaboration of flavors and perfectly cooked. Loved the moist and terrific seasoning of the chicken with waffle. The waffle was not as light and crispy as I prefer my waffles. My wife loved it. Wish more choices on menu though like cheeses in the omelette or types of fruit with pancakes. read more

The best of the many quality restaurants that we have enjoyed in these past few years on both Coasts. First visit made at the recommendation of two different, enthusiastic neighbors. The food was a creative take on very strong basic themes, a waffle bacon egg sandwich with maple syrup & Gruyère cheese, absolutely scrumptious, every ingredient properly done to meld together perfectly. Strong delicious coffee served with a demitasse spoon in uniquely attractive cups & saucers with a complementary creamer, matching plates and silver. Warm, attentive staff from first seating throughout the meal. The restaurant is a conversion of a rambling former home with porches. In the Summer, we will sit outside. Will return often for other intriguing menu items. read more

What a find! Excellent food, excellent service, and casual atmosphere, at reasonable prices. Highly recommend.

Really enjoyed this breakfast in fact they're open Monday when Joe's is not. This is basically like more of a restaurant in a country house. We found a corner table with the window open next to it. The waitress was so thoughtful sensing we were managing risk and respecting our concerns. The breakfast was great hearty and delicious. Quite a pleasant, welcoming & still intimate environment, great coffee and a wonderful way to kick start our journey home. Thanks Rose! read more

We are somewhat local but had never been to Rose's. We chose to give it a try because it is right off the turnpike which made it a good location to meet family traveling through. We all liked the decor and atmosphere. It has a modern feel but with a French farm kitchen twist. The service was very friendly and attentive. Coffee wasn't the best but the decaf cappuccino had a nice presentation. The food was flavorful but extremely greasy. There was a puddle of grease left on my omelette plate. My mother didn't eat her scrambled eggs because they were so greasy. Ironically, the toast didn't have enough butter. So, more butter on toast and less butter/oil on eggs would be preferable. They had gluten free toast as an option. The prices were reasonable for the area. It was $75 for breakfast for 4. read more

Breakfast for 2 was delicious. Forgot to take pics of the menu (I believe it's been recently updated) but there's a wide variety from light (croissants, yogurt granola), to heavier (burritos, meat options), to sweet (pancakes, waffles) menu items. Ingredients complement each other well. Good coffee options, machine made (not diner style coffee). Fresh, clean, great decor, super friendly staff. Highly recommend. read more

Perfect place for breakfast in every way. Large, delicious portions, great service. Went with party of seven for a celebration and everyone felt the same way. One of better restaurants of the year! read more

Recently went to Rose's for lunch. Been a while since we were here. It is under new management. We were surprised how good everything was. Service very attentive and our food arrived quickly. Surprised as the place was busy. Everyone enjoyed their meal. My wife had eggplant and it was delicious. Abundant portion. Grandson had chicken schnitzel sandwich. Hugh portion with mountain of fries. You know it is large when he could not finish. Had a house salad with grilled chicken. Very large portion. Price a little high but you do get generous portions. Breakfast items looked great, but that will be for another visit. Happy to return to this restaurant again. Will definitely be back. read more

Not good for young children. No children's menu offered. Asked for a grilled cheese on wheat to at least take care of an autistic they bring out an opened faced grilled cheese on white. Was told they don't have a way to make grilled cheese after they brought the food. I would have just left or got her dove thing from somewhere else. I had also asked for a refill on my coffee was ignored more than once and then I asked the server why I did t get the refill I asked for I was told it was a dollar for a refill. Really, spending around 80.00 for breakfast and you think I'm not going to pay the dollar. Don't understand how they can make eggs over easy but can not do a basic grilled cheese read more

We were looking for breakfast in Lee, Massachusetts, and the positive reviews of Rose's Restaurant led us to give it a shot. . . Unfortunately, while the food was fine, it was overall an unpleasant dining experience and we won't be going back. When we arrived, there was one couple waiting in line at the host station to be seated. We got in line, and then. . . waited. And waited. And waited. There was no acknowledgment whatsoever from the staff, and the couple in line in front of us commented that it seemed like the staff was actively avoiding making eye contact with us. We contemplated just leaving and going someplace else, but ended up staying due to a combination of sunk cost bias and curiosity about whether we'd ever be acknowledged by the staff (let along seated and served). After about 20 minutes, the line was now 4-5 groups deep, still with no acknowledgement from the staff. At this point a new couple walked into the restaurant, literally shoved themselves to the front of the line, and took a seat at the counter, ignoring the queue of people who were waiting to be seated. Apparently they were "regulars", as they were warmly greeted by a waitress, asked how they were doing, and offered menus and coffee. After that indignity, we were ready to leave without being seated, but miraculously, we were grudgingly acknowledged by a waitress and finally seated. Our waitress took our order without pleasantries or small talk, and the food was fine - standard diner-level restaurant fair. I had a western omelette and my better half had a ham and cheese omelette. Again, both were fine. The awkwardness of waiting to be seated could have totally been avoided with SOMEBODY acknowledging us by saying something like "We're backed up and it's going to be a while to get a table, thanks for your patience." But simply ignoring people standing in line (and then warmly greeting regulars), was unnecessary. I realize that restaurants are short-staffed and the service industry is currently under strain, but there are different ways to deal with those stressors. . . and at least when we were there, Rose's Restaurant was NOT doing a good job with these challenges, leading to a very unpleasant dining experience. read more

Roses is the real deal, here's why. Friendly staff and food made from scratch, with high quality ingredients you can taste. The Belgian waffle was perfection with a side of homemade caramel sauce and real maple syrup. The granola bowl came with Greek style plain yogurt and fresh berries that must have been hand selected, every one of them was perfect. I overheard the chef/owner talking to a patron that he's make's his sausage from scratch! If you are in the Berkshires and want great food, served by genuinely happy hosts this is the place! read more

We had a very nice breakfast here today. They just reopened with new ownership. The new owners are lovely. They did a complete renovation of the space. The food was excellent. If all you want is a couple of eggs on the cheap, it may not be your choice. If you want some interesting breakfast food, give it a try. read more

The owners are a very kind Argentinian and Romanian couple. That is reflective in the menu and it's amazing. My favorite dish is the espresso French toast I must say it's flavors are on point. read more

We have been here several times for breakfast & lunch, and it never dissappoints. The food is delicious and they make a great Bloody Mary. The staff is always so pleasant & friendly. There can be a wait but it is worth it. read more

It seems like all the negative reviews are from people that do not like change. I had never been to Roses under the prior ownership but I was absolutely blown away by my lunch recently. We had 5 picky kids in our party and they all cleaned their plates. It's a little pricey, but totally worth it. The open face eggplant sandwich was delicious. My only complaint is that they aren't open for dinner. We will definitely be back read more

We got there about 15 minutes before they were closing up from lunch. The accommodated us anyways and also our dog. They sat us at the tables in front and even brought the dog water.

They were very attentive and accommodating to my wife's dairy allergy. Highly highly recommend worth the little extra. Good job. We did miss the pictures we were just hungry and the food was so good. Definitely recommend the chicken. read more

Roses Restaurant - Fresh Avocado? - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lee, Massachusetts

Personally I love roses.. but if you're looking for cheaper prices do not go here. Service can be slow at times as far as the wait staff goes but my food always comes in a timely manner. Their food is definitely worth the prices in my opinion. All I can say is the wait staff could try a little harder.. and I say that lightly because I know as a server myself the job is not easy. Overall I love roses. read more

We heartily recommend Roses as a solid meal choice. The coffee was fresh and hot (and surprisingly robust without being bitter at all). I had the ham stack which had incredibly tender flavorful ham! My husband had their bacon cheese burger and was also happy. We each chose the fries and they did not disappoint! Great value on both the meals. Our coffee cup was kept full and our service couldn't have nicer or better. We picked Roses because it had good reviews and was close to the tollway with a quick off and on of only a 1/4 mile. read more

Exactly what you'd expect. They fill you up with delicious food and give you that local charm.

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

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
