    We shared our breakfast so we could try more stuff!!

    This place is so awesome! Service is incredible, not easy to come by now a days! Our food was great! Chicken and waffles, cinnamon roll and eggs! Our son comes a lot because he says the milkshakes are amazing and they have a monthly special shake too!! Don't miss it!

    We had an amazing experience at Rosie's Diner this morning! The food was phenomenal, service was super fast, and our waitress, Kristina was so incredibly friendly and sweet. She helped us start our day on the right track! We would highly recommend this place!

    It's a diner which brings nostalgic memories. Quite a crowd during the weekend lunch time. A lot of to go orders being filled as well. We sat at the counter as there was a long wait for a table. And we could watch the 'action' as well of the kitchen line cooks and servers fulfilling the orders. The portions are large we could see. There was a Southwest chicken salad served in a fried flour tortilla shell which looked intriguing. I would have ordered this but I decided to try the fish and chips instead. He chose the turkey pesto croissant sandwich without the alfalfa sprouts. I also ordered a chocolate milkshake because why not? I'm at a diner and milkshakes scream diner to me. You can make it a malt for an extra charge. I still don't know what the difference between a shake and malt is taste wise. The fish and chips had three large pieces of slender fish and some fries. His sandwich came with a huge pile of fries and he commented that they gave him some of mine. The fish and chips were average. Nothing which would make me come back but it was a filling lunch. I didn't eat all of it. Took the rest to go with his fries. He said his sandwich was fine. Nothing special. The servers were friendly. Yinneth was our server and she checked on us. The servers take turns bringing the food to help each other out and all were nice. The chocolate milkshake came with whipped cream and sprinkles and is the stuff of movies. So cute and yummy. I did enjoy it a lot and took some to go instead of wasting it. The women's restroom was clean and large. A little deceiving when you head to it. The private parking lot is small and we parked in the adjoining shared parking lot. A solid place for lunch on our road trip.

    We've visited this spot twice now, and we've loved it both times. It's never overcrowded, our food always comes out quickly, and the portions are generous with great prices to match. The classic diner vibe and fun décor make it even better!

    We stopped here to fuel up on our way to the Manitou Incline and it was perfect. The scrambled eggs were perfectly done and I liked that the hashbrowns could be substituted for cottage cheese or fruit. The banana walnut pancakes were good too. The classic diner atmosphere was very cute and made us want to come back. Service was also very friendly and quick.

    Great prices and a 1950's feel. I got a breakfast burrito that had pork green chile sauce, egg, sausage, cheese...it was all very good and enough to fill me up. The shamrock shake was also a big hit. I came with a group and everyone enjoyed their meals. The Staff was great, and the bathroom was clean.

    Not a bad view from the lot

    This place is like the holy grail of Monument. Amidst the small mountain town at the foot of the Rockies sits Rosie's. A true cliche in the form of diners. If this was on Triple D it would be the truest diner you've ever seen. Complete with little juke boxes on the tables. Daily specials are consistent. The waitresses and front of house seem to know most everyone on a first name basis. They spin their own shakes. Cmon this place is legit! You can see the kitchen staff busily working to prepare everyone's offerings to completion with the stereotypical 'DING'. My own plight is, as a diner, it is pretty pricey. You aren't getting out of there without a lighter purse/wallet. At any rate, if you're passing through def stop!! Bon appetite!

    So great!!! Popped in here with my family last week and we loved it! Giant portions so definitely worth the price. Milkshakes are amazing and my mom LOVED the cheesecake. She said it was the best she had ever eaten! So cute and loved the theme. We also had an amazing server, I can't recall his name but he said he had been there for 16 years! Very attentive and knew a lot about the history of the diner! I will be back!!!!

    All Americana! It's the diner that you only see in movies now. Retro to the R! One of the breakfast places that open early. It's the basic. You don't come here for fancy or trendy stuff. You come here for sustenance. You leave almost happy and fed as we did a bit rushed! Staff were on top of it but a tad in a rush to get you started and going. Hurry up and wait! The very tall male staff that helped us had a date with Peggy Sue that I decided to forego my asking him about my beverage choices and went for water instead. The man had a date! Who am I to delay him? Anyways, I had the Corned Beef Hash with a +1 of a two stack pancake! Two eggs over medium and water.‍ The food is very average. The pancake especially had nothing special to it. Dry.dry.dry. Even with syrup poured all over it.( yeah cos that's how I roll. I pile them on). They got the eggs almost right. The hash is promising. Top side cooked and tasty. The corned beef? Canned. Big order. Will I be back? Why not? One annoyance doesn't and won't distract me. Although this place is going to be on my mental list of the last place I will go since there are many other choices around. C'est la vie!

    If you like diner food then this is the Mecca! Great service, great food, good prices and big helpings. On the way to Colorado Springs for the day we came here for breakfast from Centennial. Took about 40 minutes to get there. We were all nice and hungry! They have so many options you can get anything off the menu all day. The meatloaf sandwich was a favorite of my son. The gravy was rich and delish. There is plenty of parking and the bathrooms are nice and clean. It's an easy on off freeway spot so make sure to try it if your traveling on I25.

    Great 50s diner. The cinnamon roll is a meal in itself. We had to ask what "frings" were- french fries and onion rings.

Bun was weird, their aioli would have been better suited on a turkey sandwich and the bacon was burned. My mom ordered the Reuben and it was so wet and soggy, the bread fell apart. Meal wouldn't have been good even if it had been cooked correctly - had to be an off day because this restaurant has great reviews, but we won't be back.

We were a party of six and the largest table in an otherwise nearly empty restaurant. I was dining with my autistic son and politely requested his burger and fries at least three times so he could sit and settle. Despite this, his food took over 30 minutes and all meals came out separately. While waiting, I was actively supervising and redirecting my son in the empty restaurant. The owner approached me and stated that if I couldn't get him "under control," we would need to leave, repeatedly mentioning that she also has an autistic child--an irrelevant and dismissive comment. Autism is not one-size-fits-all. Once my son finally received his burger, he sat calmly and ate without issue, exactly as explained. Instead of enjoying time with family I hadn't seen in 20 years, the situation escalated unnecessarily. After the meal, the police were called to trespass me despite us already leaving. The officers were polite and professional. Food quality was also lacking (the fish was chewy). Children, including autistic children, belong in public spaces. My son didn't need entertainment or judgment--he needed his food. This restaurant failed in service, accessibility, and basic decency. I was not able to even get a picture with my family.....

Just a note that if you're going there in the future, looking for gluten-free items, they don't truly have a gluten-free menu. It's more like gluten friendly.
