Mix bag here. The ambiance is amazing. Very warm, very cute, and so inviting. Sara was a cute little bundle of joy!! The food: The pancake platter. Pancakes, need more baking soda, to be fluffier. Potatoes, probably should have gotten the grits. Eggs are slightly overcooked, sausage burnt. Darn! Really wanted to like this place. So disappointed!!! I think my experience is not the norm, as I look at other plates and other diners. I hate wasting money!!!!!!!! Your Pal, Dawn Always an honest review read more

I used to work here and the kitchen is unbelievably disgusting and unorganized. There's no general manager in the store so everyone does whatever they want, whenever they want. They don't clean the kitchen, your food that's being prepped gets thrown into un-sanitized sinks that have already had shrimp juice, corn beef hash juice and whatever else in it, they under pay their servers (roughly $2 an hour!) so they force you to pay their 20% gratuity and they under pay their entire kitchen staff. Humble mentions that they hire crackheads from the street and sexual harassers and they don't do anything about it when you tell them these things. I can't believe they haven't been shut down yet. Hiring people for the kitchen that don't even know how to cook is INSANE!!!! Stop giving these people business! They made me take chicken out of the trash one time, rinse it off in the sink, season it and then put it back into the prep container so it can later be sold!!! No I am not joking!! Do not eat here!!!! (Another humble mention, they have made me work 3 different positions during my employment and paid me $11!!!) STAY FARRRRRR AWAY FROM ROSIES COFFEE CAFE!!!!! (AND THE WHOLE STAFF IS RUDE!) read more

food 2/10 service 1/10 they add 20% even if you do take out non negotiable took an hour and 30 to complete my order. I was one person and their were 5 tables wmoth people. if you go here order out and expect mid quality low grade food... will not be back on this location read more

Alexandria sucks. Genuinely that was the most obnoxious and ridiculous environment I have even been in. The food was mediocre. The cup was dirty. Not returning read more

Well, as all the other reviews, say once you get the food, the food is pretty good, but not very large portions for the amount of money you pay. The restaurant is clean and the waitresses are very nice. I think the majority of the problem is the food takes FOREVER to come out. And I know it's not to do with the food or restaurant, but they do not allow you to carry a concealed weapon on the property. And the kicker is they automatically charge 20% gratuity before you even sit down and then they text your tip as well so for those two last reasons we will not be back. read more

Visited Rosie's a few times for breakfast, which is great. Ordered the chicken salad sandwich. A suggestion I would give is to list that this item is served warm. I'm sure many people enjoy a warm, runny mayo chicken salad sandwich. I am not one of those people. That disclaimer would've steered me to a different menu item. Thanks! read more

The service was excellent and the ambiance was casual and relaxed. I had the chicken and waffles, the only thing I would say is that I would prefer a chicken breast instead of wings. read more

Rosie's Coffee Cafe - Taking the old guy out for brunch - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Carrollton, Georgia

Every once in awhile I find myself returning to Rosie's just to remember why I don't go there. The place has no atmosphere with hard and torn benches. The food is bland and cheap, yet with high prices for such a diner. The waitresses have no personality with the sensibilities of a trailer park. This time when we went, they were out of several things we ordered from the menu. They add a 20% gratuity no matter the size of the party and they include the gratuity when they tally taxes. Additionally, our waitress had the temerity to actually ask us for additional tip (for pedestrian service). Next time I think of going there, I hope I remember why I avoid it. We'd get a higher class experience at Waffle House. (A note to the owner : Please close this place and let a decent restaurant open there.) read more

Food was decent. Service was slow. The person I was dining with ordered French toast. Half of the order was burned, completely black. It was brought to the attention of our server and she basically said "we have new cooks, don't hold it against them." No apology, no effort to make it right. Left a bad impression for us. I'm not sure we'd go back. read more

Stale and bland food; I ordered a pancake platter which ended up coming out with lukewarm house potatoes and processed shredded cheese. Pancakes were doughy and barely cooked. Server asked me if I wanted peppers and onions in my potatoes and they weren't even served with my potatoes, never came. Service is generally slow but staff was kind. I wouldn't recommend coming here at all. Had to request staff update check to remove uneaten items. Not worth the stop read more

Our first and last time coming. Food was not good. Asked to add something to my order almost immediately after it was initially taken and the server relayed it to the cook. Evidently this infuriated the cook because we could hear her all the way in the dining area going off about it and that she couldn't change it. She was very unprofessional. I should have immediately left when I walked in and heard her talking loudly about keying someone's car and telling someone in the back "oh well, fire me". Others in the dining room turned to look at us when they heard how she was complaining about my simple change to my order. Never coming back and regretting spending money there. Save yourself the time and money and go elsewhere. The servers were sweet. Bless them. read more

Food is nasty and under cooked or over cooked!!! Priced wayyyyy tooooo high for the bs they pushing out that kitchen. I recommend Waffle House instead of here!!! Thank me later I ordered break bowl with potatoes and sausage... terrible bland food read more

Very disappointed. My friend and I visited on a Thursday @9:39 ,the only 2 customers seated in the restaurant. 2 Servers working and 2 Gentleman seated with workers just sitting there talking. We ordered our drinks server went back sat down with Gentleman and 10 minutes later came back . Took our order but not really knowledgeable about the menu and substitutions. Food about 15 minutes later was mediocre Scrambled Eggs ok Salmon Croquettes cooked in old grease, not freshly made. Server never followed up for refills or to see if food was ok. Greatly disappointed. If the 20% gratuity were not included this is one time I WOULD NOT have tipped. Service Poor, Food Mediocre. If the service were good and food mediocre or vice versa I wouldn't have even left a rating but failed on both. read more

The first time we came here it was great, and we do not mind the automatic gratuity charge; I've waited tables in my lifetime. We are typically high tippers and tip well over 20%. Last time we came here the service was not great. We came again today, but I'm not sure we will be back. Once again the service was terrible. I do not mind waiting for good food, but my order was simple and put in wrong. Again the service was SLOW and I feel that an automatic built in gratuity is not incentive to provide good service; it's an incentive for mediocre service and the good isn't worth that. read more

Waited for a table for 45 minutes, as the second party on the list nobody was seated as the line got longer and the restaurant had only 3 tables when we got there. when the last table left we were still not seated despite the empty restaurant. we decided to order food Togo after an hour. it was bland and mediocre. Not worth the prices, also i was eating at another restaurant and witnessed the owners being nasty and rude to the staff and complaining about everything. maybe they should worry about service in their own restaurant before criticizing others. read more

Based on other reviews, I really wanted to like this place, but it definitely fell short for me. We stopped in at 8am on a Sunday morning, zero cars in the parking lot. I questioned if they were even open. Walking inside, we were immediately greeted and able to pick our own seat, as no one else was in the restaurant. The original table we chose was really sticky, so we selected another. There was some syrup on the floor, but, other than those things, the place seemed really clean! (I did stop in the restroom and it was also clean/smelled nice. I dont remember seeing a changing table though.) I understand being environmentally friendly/it's hip to have a QR code, but my mom is old as the hills and would have preferred an old fashioned, paper menu. She didn't being her phone inside either, so we had to share mine. We ordered 2 breakfast platters-- mine came with French toast, meat of your choice (I chose bacon), eggs, and grits or potatoes (I got the potatoes.) This place has booster seats and high chairs... but no children's menu? At least I didn't see one online. We ordered my daughter a fried chicken breast, which she seemed to enjoy. Not gonna lie, my food was pretty lack luster. The eggs were decent, but cold on top-- which really surprised me because there we were the only people there. The French toast was also just warm and, surprisingly, really dense. I ended up not even eating the crusts and cutting out the middle. The bacon was good, but how can you mess up bacon? The potatoes definitely needed more seasoning. They were really plain. I did enjoy the bits of pepper that were chopped up with them, but I had to throw a bunch of salt, pepper, and ketchup on everything. My mom got the same thing as me, minus the French toast. The only redeeming factor for me was the coffee and I just drank it black. My mom got a hot, black tea, which she enjoyed. We spent $40 on just okay food-- I almost forgot to mention that they automatically charge you 20% gratuity for dine in and 18% on takeout! I think that's absolutely ridiculous, as their pricing is already on the higher side-- it was $14.99 for my meal and I could get more food at IHOP for that. 2 stars for the food and 1 extra star for being pretty clean and polite/friendly staff. Since I have family in the area, I might consider giving it another try, maybe they just had a bad day. This restaurant reminded me a lot of Thumbs Up in Douglasville, but I would honestly choose driving all the way there before going to Rosie's again. Sorry ‍ read more

Absolutely agree with all of these other reviews. Arrived on a Sunday at 2:15 - apparently they now close at 3:00 on Sat & Sun. We were seated, but overheard "manager" tell rest of staff that we were to be the last ones seated. Patrons arriving 5 min later were turned away. Food was good, but served with plastic utensils - even though they clearly had regular utensils available. It is clearly noted throughout the Cafe that a "20% automatic gratuity will be added to all dine in orders" - OK, so at least give me real utensils to eat my Shrimp & Grits! Our server, Megan, did a great job, despite the constant haranguing by the manager who was loudly giving Close-down orders to all of the staff. We felt very rushed and clearly "not welcome". read more

Service was extremely slow. It was lunch and only two or three customers were in the restaurant. Food was fair but nothing that makes you want to return. read more

Let's get this straight, Rosie's decor was impressive. From the outside and the surrounding areas the restaurant looked unappealing. However once you step inside the ambience changes your opinion and you are eager to eat. However the staff is what makes the visit bad. The host and the hostess weren't the problem they were nice and respectful, but the wait for the food along with the understaffed and undirected staff made the place feel like it was run by college students. There was a long wait for food, which affected every table. The food was ok, no wow factor but i see myself going back and hopefully the wait won't be as long. read more

Really cute place inside and has so much potential. I was hopeful for good breakfast place during spring break but a big NO. Now I know why 20 percent gratuity is included. They know they can give any kind of service and get 20 percent. The servers were more worried about turning on tvs and talking about schedules then meeting customers needs. So unprofessional....because of that turn off, the food was not good. read more

The staff was perfectly friendly and timely. My issue was the food. Overall taste and freshness I would rate a 1 star. The potatoes were extremely dry, the onions and peppers soggy and cold. My blueberry pancakes only had 4-5 blueberries in them. The eggs were super salty and the coffee had an odd taste, almost stale like with a hint of cleaning chemicals. This was my first time here and definitely my last. read more

First thing- 20% auto gratuity is insane for what we received, coffee was fast but unimpressed with it, our food was absolutely not worth the price. Burnt food for my partner and he paid $11 for a breakfast sandwich that was tiny... my food was okay just sorta bland. They need to step up the food game a lot if they're going to add an auto 20% on to the bill for service. read more

I was craving a bagel and found Rosie's. This little place is intimate and adorably decorated, the staff was very helpful and kind, and their menu offers a lot of variety at a fair price. I ordered the salmon patty bagel with scrambled eggs and the homestyle potatoes that were described to include onions and peppers. The salmon patty bagel was pretty good! Bagel wasn't toasted but I usually lik mine lightly toasted (not hard.) I was sorely disappointed by the potatoes and I was really excited for them. They were quite overdone, had literally no flavor and I saw one almost microscopic cube of green pepper in the bowl. I added seasoning when I got home. I'd give them another chance, they had a lot of items I would've liked to try. read more

I've been here at least 8 times. I wanted to take my wife and child here since she had never tried it. Today was a complete fail. Our server Kylie was friendly but bad at her job. Forgot everything at least once. Got our order wrong. I sent my food back because my eggs were overcooked and my hash was undercooked. IT CAME BACK THE SAME WAY!! I gave up. I sent it back paid and left. I feel like the server abused the fact that gratuity was included. It wasn't busy. We were her only table and had to remind her about every item we ordered. read more

First off, I want to say the food is excellent. I have mostly done breakfast here. The coffee is out of this world. The wait staff is very friendly. Why only 4 stars then? These are the main reasons. 1. You don't accept over the phone orders. I get it, you don't want people calling in then not getting their food. However, that is a small risk to the bigger risk of people just going somewhere that will take an over the phone to go order (Waffle house, Jerry's diner, Martins, etc...) 2. You offer online ordering and paying, but your location is NEVER on the website. I have mentioned it several times and it never seems to get fixed. This combined with #1 means I have to go in, order to go, and then wait. Again, there are quicker options. 3. Automatic 20% gratuity on all Dine in Orders regardless of party size??? Really? You have lost the concept of a gratuity. If it is mandatory, it should be called a fee or a tax or something, cause it isn't a gratuity. I think if you fixed some of these things, this place would rock out. BTW, tried the salmon patty this morning and it is fantastic. read more

Had high hopes but, NO. Very short-staffed when we arrived. More employees began to appear but the service speed didn't change. Server was very nice but not very knowledgeable. Asked for water. Never got it. Couldn't tell me the difference between a latte and cappuccino. Said she didn't drink coffee. At a breakfast place she still should've been an expert. Our plates finally arrived. Still no drinks. Or silverware. She finally brought little packs of plastic forks because they were out??? Our food was ok. About Waffle House quality. My biscuit wasn't even warm. The butter I had to ask for remained so hard it wouldn't spread. Was never offered jelly but after all the waiting for everything else, I let it go. But most people like syrup with pancakes, right? Guess what. Had to ask for that too, as well as more napkins because the little tissue paper ones in the packet weren't getting the job done. Had to wait again for the check. Finally got up and went on toward the door and cash register and there was our server at the register! So all this for two $25 breakfasts, to which a 20% gratuity had already been added. We couldn't do what most paying diners should be able to do, which is to reflect the service we'd been given by the amount of the tip we leave. Big disappointment. Two people had recommended this place. read more

Sat there for 20 minutes without anyone coming to help, ignored by multiple servers so we left, most of the "workers" were in the back talking to eachother the entire time. Garbage. read more

Pretty good breakfast spot food quality wise, but hard to recommend any place that's $50 for a 2 person brunch. A 20% mandatory tip for any tab, complete with lackluster service at best, isn't great either. read more

I order out here frequently, but I finally was able to go sit down and eat inside. The dining area is absolutely adorable! And the whole place had a very happy feel to it. The food tasted amazing, and the presentation was also gorgeous. They also have a full bar, as well as a coffee bar. This places waffles are TO DIE FOR but I decided to branch out and get something different and it still did not disappoint. Everything I tasted was delicious. read more

This place is yummy!!! Our food was amazing and cooked perfectly. The coffee is delicious! The price is a little high for breakfast, but it was worth it. They add a 20% gratuity no matter the party size which I think is super weird, especially for carrolton, but it really just hurts their servers. We will for sure be back! read more

Overpriced and automatic 20% gratuity added to bill if you dine in! Services was slow too! Would not recommend!

We had the best breakfast and I highly recommend! The service was great too. We had the French toast, shrimp and grits, and chicken sausage. All of it was amazing & we will definitely be back read more

Food was always pretty good although somewhat overpriced. I never had service there that merited an 18% gratuity and now with a mandatory 20% gratuity, I won't be back. I wouldn't be surprised if this puts them out of business. There are other places close by with better food, better prices, better service. read more

Went here for the first time, they were not busy. Sat us and no one approached us again for over 15 minutes. Other tables were sat and served, when we decided to leave no one said a word and all the workers just looked at us. Several servers walked by our table multiple times noticing we had not been served even drinks and no one asked if we had been helped. We had a two year old also, in the middle of the floor so we didn't go unnoticed. The servers stood by the checkout area socializing instead of working. Will not be trying this restaurant again. Do not recommend at all. read more

It's over priced mediocre food, I wish I could put a sign up front where I could warn people not to waist time and money

Service was slow with only a few customers there at lunch. There was barely any chicken salad on the sandwich ordered, had to refill our drinks myself and they still got the 20% gratuity that they automatically add if you dine in. Will not be back!! read more

Whenever I want some real brunch in Carrollton, I go to Rosie's. Cute simple interior and the food never fails. Service is great and filled with smiles to brighten the morning.
