Well, it's not the worst bagel I've ever had. But it is the second worst. And I have lots of bagels. However the service was far and away the worst I've ever had. It took 30 minutes to get 6 bagels and a waffle. And the 3 people who ordered after us all and I mean ALL got their food a full 10 min before us. All the whole the AC is out. It 85 degrees outside. Then after all of that this is the bagel I got. Supposed to be lox cream cheese. What would you call that? I'm telling everyone, stay away. read more

Rosko's Bagels & Waffles - a half eaten sandwich - Bagels Near Me - Jackson, New Jersey

Currently at this place... Sitting in the heat waiting for the order for like 20-30 minutes. No air conditioning. When we came in, we were the only people here. We have been been patiently waiting and since coming in, a few other people have come by and they have all gotten their orders. We just asked the guy behind the corner- he hasn't even started on the order! Abysmal service. Order just came out. It was sealed up even though we're dining in... The orders are all wrong. We shall remember this place. As we will not be returning... read more

This business is no longer at this location. When they were there, their bagels were excellent.

Saga continues - tried them again - I put on the order no cheese - I got cheese. They didn't have waffle mix. Time to move on...

I fricken love this place. Just get the bagels. You can wrap them in tin foil, freeze them, and then put them in a toaster or oven later to heat them up again. I love all of their flavors, but the whole wheat everything is my fav. Recent change in ownership, but they seem to have kept the same recipes. They did not change their sacred veggie cream cheese with the fresh chives. Get a pint of that while you're in there! read more

I absolutely love trying new places for breakfast and this little gem fit the bill. Mini-Me and I didn't want diner food or o go to iHop, we both wanted something different but easy on our wallets. Mini-Me wanted chicken and waffles, I am thinking whatttt? we are not in LA Cali anymore Missy (cuz ya kno' Roscoe's is the BE ALL END ALL). But this Rosko's small parking lot was packed! this place was hoppin' and business was brisk! from call in ahead orders- walk in take out- to orders for eating in. I was impressed, for such a small joint to have such a expanded menu but specific on dishes, something for everyone and reasonable on the wallet, I was in. The girls behind the counter were hustling the orders, smiling, helping new customers decide and the coffee brewed was so delicious, not sure if it because it was cold out, so early in the morning or just a great blend, but it was well appreciated. We also ordered the strawberry waffle with fresh bananas as well as blueberry waffles, fluffy, hot, crisp outside but so soft and perfect inside, just a little maple syrup to compliment the dishes, each was a bite of hearty happy goodness. Now, it is is Roscoe's LA Cali? no, it isn't and anyplace outside of the Manchester Blvd location would be a recipe hard pressed to impress. But does this breakfast/lunch spot give me the opportunity to enjoy a delicious breakfast with my Mini-Me to chat it up, laugh, and just enjoy the beginning of beautiful new day, yes it does and that's all that really matters, right? right! good food, tasty dishes a staff of employees that care, I really will be back for more breakfasts and of course chicken and waffles that fit the bill when you want something different. Rosko's its not huge at all, seating is an "L" section of tables against the front window area so sharing space is appreciated, there are a couple of 2 person seating outside as well and that's where Mini-Me and I sat to enjoy our Sunday breakfast. read more

Two sesame bagels with cream cheese toasted. I recieve a sesame bagel not toasted with barely any cream cheese on it. I mean either they are extremely petty with providing good food or they are incompetent. AVOID should change the name to Rosko's Scam Bagels read more

I just turned in my stamp card for a free hot sandwich so it's about time I write this. My fiancé and I have been ordering from here if not every week then every other week. (And all I turned in was one card?? Lol. I'm new in town and we didn't know about the card until a month ago.) My guy is simple. Anything with bacon. One of his favorites is The Belly Buster on a plain bagel. I, on the other hand, have been hooked on the ham and cheddar in a spinach wrap with lettuce, onions, tomatoes and mayo with a side of coleslaw. I'd eat half a wrap for breakfast and the other half for lunch. Service has been excellent, especially the back-of-the-house team. I, unfortunately, had to witness a mom chew out one of the guys in back over her bagel not being toasted. It's Mother's Day and you're going to embarrass your husband and daughter by throwing a tantrum over an untoasted bagel? I'm sorry you're that miserable. The guy even came out to apologize. I applaud you, Sir. Keep up the awesome hospitality. Your team rocks. read more

Great bagels. Even better waffles (but I bring my own maple syrup). Always a treat!

I really dislike leaving bad reviews so this one won't be terrible. I'll start on a positive note; I really enjoy the food very much. Everything I've ever had was as expected and their breakfast potatoes are actually my favorite of anywhere around. That being said, I have NEVER received the correct order when I called ahead for pickup. Something is always missing or wrong altogether and that's why I can't give a higher rating. I'm not the person to call and complain or ask for new food so I always just eat my meal in disappointment lol. If you are going to order ahead I recommend checking your food before you leave. I'll give them a shot again in the near future and will do an updated review. Again, the food is great. Just make sure you get what you asked for. read more

Ever had an everything CROISSANT???!! OR A LOW CARB WEIGHT WATCHER BAGEL??? Didn't even know they'd ever exist till I came across Rosko's. BOGGLED MY MIND!! *stoked* and they're freaking delish, you MUST try em!!! Even their regular menu is delish! Usually get their spinach wrap avocado eggs - yumm, brightens the morning every time! The owner is always so so nice too!!! read more

2 stars for the benefit of the doubt and the sentiment , but it really deserves lower. I've been living in Jackson for a long time now. This place is slowly getting worse and worse. It use to have seasonal painted murals on the windows, full menus, and fast service. Food was hot, and everything that I ever called-in to order was made on time when I arrive at the establishment. It was great! My family and I always had our weekend bagels from here! However, as of late (I'd say the past 6-7 months) I've noticed the place is becoming barren? The vibe is different. No more murals, posters gone from the walls, things crossed off the menu, and the food takes forever. Now, if I want good food, I'll wait 5-15minutes. No problem. Yet, past three or four times I've been there, I'm waiting forever for my food, and it's cold. Or waiting too long for something as simple as a bagel with cream cheese. Food less than $5 shouldn't take 15minutes. The final straw was my bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel was cold, and I waited 20 minutes. And that sad bagel was $7.25?! I don't go here anymore. It's sad too, because I had some friends that work here. I miss the old Rosko's! read more

Came in for a late breakfast. Excellent avocado scrambler ( 10/10 will order again, did not expect it to be so good) and strawberry cream cheese on a blueberry bagel. My husband said his plain bagel and cream cheese were also great. They were pretty busy but got us our food in a timely manner. The staff is younger and really nice and the manager was very appreciative of them dealing with a difficult customer while we were here which was good to see. We are new to town and will definitely be regulars here :) read more

Food was pretty good however our order was totally wrong. Missing the veggie cream cheese in the bag and also one grilled cheese missing. Had to reorder and the cook forgot to made it owner had to ask again. Took additional 30 minutes total disorganization of the staff but food wasn't bad probably won't return there are better breakfast spots to spend money and at least feel appreciated without having to do half the work! read more

Food was cold and did not taste well at all. Something is wrong there used to be good. read more

I read the reviews and really looking forward to eating here. What a let down. The smell of rancid oil will hit you when you come in. Waited for my breakfast sandwich a to go order for over 15 min only one other waiting. My pork roll sandwich had 2 wafer thin slices almost $8 sandwich Smh read more

Moved to Howell 30 years ago from Brooklyn. It's almost impossible to get a bad bagel there. The only time I can get a good bagel out here (major difference) is when I bring the back from my commute. Bagels shouldn't soggy. There should be a slight crunch on the outside and soft but not doughy on the inside. Most places here actually run out of bagels at 10:00am. Today I told myself there must be somewhere else. I was going to try BE then decided to go further. I found the promised bagel was hidden in a little hole in the wall. Finally a bagel as good as a Brooklyn bagel. I ordered 1 dozen assorted with a tub of their cream cheese. I started with a rye/pumpernickel marble. I had to have another type and had a cinnamon raisin. . Now, if they only made a raisin/pumpernickel, I'd be in heaven. read more

Amazing food!!!!! I come here all the time for their bagels and breakfast sandwiches!

My co-worker and I discovered this place through Groupon. We wanted to find something new to hit up for breakfast since our commute to work is from Franklin Park/Monmouth Junction to Lakewood. Rosko's came up around our way. We were very impressed with the customer service. They were nice and very helpful with their suggestions for us first time customers. The food may take time to prepare, but it was worth the wait for its delicious and freshly made waffles. My co-worker had the chocolate chip waffles and some sandwich I forgot. I was in the mood for some Chicken and Waffles for a very long time so I ordered the Waffelicious with Egg, Chicken, and Cheese. It was 4th of July in my mouth with the sweetness of maple syrup on the side, the soft and delicious waffle, and the saltiness of the breaded chicken and eggs. It was definitely worth it that I had it twice out of three visits. Other than our orders, I was mesmerized from the array of unique flavored bagels and cream cheese. So the third visit, I had the bacon and jalapeño on an everything bagel. I was expecting a little more flavor out of the jalapeño cream cheese, but it was still delicious. read more

I was having probably one of the worst days possible. My puppy accidentally ate my older dogs medicine so we had to bring her to the hospital. After leaving I hadn't eatin yet and was heavily craving pancakes and the only place near my house on the way home that wasnt closed and had them was Roskos. I placed the order on doordash which said they were still open. When i got there they had already closed which sucked but I get it covid hrs mess everything up and im sure it didnt register on doordash. I just wanted to know how to get my money back and im sure i sounded frustrated and exhausted which wasnt super pleasant to deal with but the Manager was absolutely so sweet and so apologetic. He gave me a gift card and even tho I didnt get my food I left happy. I appreciate above and beyond customer service and Roskos gives that. I will always come back here because of it. read more

Don't go here not worth it. They don't care about customer service or the quality they put out. Burned bagels, over load on cream cheese. They were amazing years ago. And I don't think the excuse is Covid. It's the fact that people just don't care! read more

Went in early morning and the service was great. Cute little place in a plaza but definitely had a wide variety of bagels. Has a great deal for 12 bagels for half price I recommend this for a quick eats read more

I always get a bacon egg and cheese on everything bagel with spk, they are the best breakfast spot around here.

I just moved to Jackson from old bridge this year 2/2020. I love breakfast & Rosko's has in my opinion the best breakfast sandwiches in the area. My gf and I find ourselves waking up to go here a few days a week. The hangover helper is my guilty pleasure regularly. Amazing food, great service, and not bad prices. read more

Lady at the counter not so friendly, she had the kind of attitude like she didn't feel like being at work that day. The best thing I had here was the Smoke Salmon, really good and really fresh. One of best ones I've ever had. The bagels were OK, not my favorite - they're on the hard side. I like Star bagels much better because they're chewy. read more

I really cannot say enough good things about Rosco's. I really believe that the secret to having a successful business is having staff that treat customers with respect and love the way you would your family. Rosco's does just that. I have been in here before with my special needs son, and the nice older woman that works there has always made him feel like a king. She has even gone so far as to give him a free mini bagel with a warm heart and a smile. On my daughter's birthday, Kim from Rosco's delivered a birthday basket on a SUNDAY morning at 7am on SAINT PATTIES DAY to our home, which was absolutely beautifully done, and included a birthday card as well as some samples of their specialty cream cheese. The location itself is small, and unfortunately, it has one of the worst parking lots in town, but the friendly staff and incredible food make up for it over and over. You will never have a skimpy portion, and you will always leave there fully satisfied and happy! This is a really wonderful local business that I hope lasts a good, long while in town! read more

Well this used to be my favorite breakfast spot. It has gone wayyyy down. I asked for my potatoes to be deep fried but apparently that means my bacon goes in there too. Absolutely ridiculous. The eggs were barely cooked and hardly any cheese on them. I won't be ordering from here anytime soon. read more

This place is epic. The best pancakes and waffles in monmouth/ocean county. Menu is huge, loaded with fresh ingredients. So many options from bagelini's, wraps, platters, breakfast sliders and more. Peanut butter cup pancakes and all the avocado sandwich creations are a must try. The bagels selections are in a world of their own. St patties bagels, easter bunny bagels, capt crunch bagels, peanut butter bagels just to name a few!!! If your in the freehold/howell/jackson area be sure to check this joint out!! read more

One of the best bagel shops around the way. Food is delicious, could be a little cheaper but always done right! Love a good bagel!

This place use to open @ 5 now it says they open @ 5:30am and they are always opening up late don't know if it's the owner or an employee but they should advertise the correct opening time . If they open up @5:30 open up at the correct time . People have to work and it's a waste of time when you drive a out the way to find out they don't open up @ the advertised time .... get your life together read more

I have been here many times The bagels are the best I like everything bagels and they load them with everything topping. I have not tried any breakfast items it is usually packed and I just pick up bagels to go. The interior is always improving they are making money and putting it back in the business which is a great sign. When the bagels are fresh out of the oven they are so great I don't put anything on them perfect. read more

Visiting area for a quick weekend trip and needed a just as quick bite before starting the day. After seeing roughly 6 other bagel spots open at 7:00 a.m. I went with Rosko's for one clear reason, the opportunity of a waffle sandwich... When, if ever, have you had the chance to start the day with a waffle sandwich? Probably never, right. Here's my order: Iced coffee and the waffelicious sandwich which comes with choice of meat, two eggs, 2 slices of american cheese, and a sturdy and well cooked waffle. Went with sausage for the savory and sweet combo but if back will try waffle and chicken combo. Service was quick, friendly, and very attentive. The sandwich, however, was the star. With enough food to placate any hunger I immediately demolished my first half before noticing I needed oxygen. Then took my dignity and other half back on the road for a busy day. If in the area and seeking nutrition, don't miss out on eating at Rosko's Bagels. Do it! read more

Been coming here for years and think I'm going to branch out look at other places, I've ordered a pork roll egg cheese hash brown and two bagels and it took over half hour for my order which makes no sense feels like there going in the wrong direction read more

Best bagel place in Jackson. Their breakfast sandwiches are hearty and you can't beat the prices. Sometimes the wait is long on the weekends but you can order ahead for a quick pickup. Their fruity pebble bagels and captain crunch bagels are amazing. read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would. Waiting 45 for 2 breakfast sandwiches while other that walked in after me were being served their food before mine. Once I finally received my order, it was completely wrong. Had to wait for them to remake it. No refund offered. Don't waste your time. read more

If you would like to place an order and wait 5 minutes before it's supposed to arrive for it to be cancelled then you've come to the right place. Food is pretty good but they are so ungodly unreliable. I've given up on this place and you should too until they get their shit together read more

A GEM. I've had a hard time finding a bagel place locally that I like and WOW I found it. Huge bang for your buck, sandwiches are filling like no other. Bagels are fluffy and crispy. Exactly what I want when I wake up with an empty stomach. They have lots of options and I would recommend this place to anyone, 10/10. read more

Used to love Rosko's. The last three times I've gone there has been something wrong with my order each time. Today, no croissants or thin bagels. Don't know if this is a Covid thing or a Rosko's thing. Terrible to see. read more
