    Having fun

    Fantastic downtown diner for pop. of 12,000 residents - a local favorite since 1939. Super friendly new owners are rockin' this place. Food is not fast but sure delicious:

    Food was delicious! Service was friendly! Food was cooked fresh as you order! It was a whole diner experience. We will definitely be back!

    After reading all the reviews of Rosy's, I decided to try it. It's very much a small town restaurant where people seem to know each other, but even just travelling through, I felt very comfortable and welcomed. The menu had lots of options, but I decided on what I called "boring" : eggs, sausage patties and potatoes. The server, however, called it classic. There was only one cook working at the time, so it took a while for the food to be served, but the most important part -- the coffee! -- came right away. Once my food came, I was astounded: the sausage patties were each almost the size of hamburgers! and they were perfectly seasoned as well. The eggs and toast were pretty standard, but they were cooked just like I ordered them. The potatoes were like shoestring potatoes -- kind of between hash browns and French fries. They were pretty good as well. Definitely worth visiting. They only take cash, but if you don't have any on you, there is an ATM machine at the front of the restaurant.

    My sister was visiting family in Esky and had breakfast there today for the first time. She said the corned beef hash was Amazing! Great food, staff and ambience where everyone was friendly and knew other! Even Santa Claus was spotted at the counter! Definitely check it out.

    Our waitress was the sweetest person I've ever met. The cook was really nice too. All the customers were accommodating to our party of 6 and getting a table to fit all of us. The food is really good. I'm recovering from wisdom teeth surgery and the food was soft enough for me to not have any issues :)

    Does Rosy's Diner have booths or just bar stools?

    I believe there are just tables and not booths. My memory might not be correct. But you do not have to sit up on the bar stools.

    Oh, man. You ever do that thing where you want to try a pasty for the first time, so you search for…read morea good restaurant that has them, then go about your business for a minute, then search the google map for the restaurant based on memory alone, then go to the restaurant only to find out you went to the wrong restaurant because you have the memory of a goldfish? No? Nobody? Just me? Damnit. The silver lining? A wonderful breakfast meal and cheap to boot! Since I realized I'm part idiot (and not the good part), I decided to eat breakfast at my accidental restaurant. Mostly because I was already sitting in the booth and did NOT want to admit defeat. And boy howdy, am I glad I did! I ordered the French toast, eggs, and bacon. Two toasts, two eggs, and about three bacons. And a breakfast Coke (which is normal coke, but in the morning). First off, the eggs. I only eat scrambled eggs because I'm a child. Salt and pepper, then into my mouth. I don't like creamy scrambled eggs and I don't like scrambled eggs that get that weird skin on them for cooking too long. These ones were perfect. I garbled them down. My trick is to heavily salt and pepper them THEN cut them up and mix them together to disperse the seasoning. Eggs 10/10 The French toast? Perfect. Good size slices, a ball of butter on top (thankfully enough to spread over all four triangles), and a ramekin of syrup. They were the perfect portions. The FT (French toast) had the best sponginess and fluffiness. French Toast (FT) 10/10 Finally. The bacon. Look. I am a huss for bacon. I'll do some shady sh** for some good bacon. But I ain't going back to prison. I always ALWAYS request my bacon be floppy. Some places call it limp. I call mine floppy. Because I'm a professional. A lot of places struggle on what floppy should look like. I've had floppy bacon I could put through a plate glass window. I've broken a piece of floppy bacon on a table edge and shanked somebody (see prior prison comment). But here? This place? Sweetie pie, I could tie my shoes with this bacon it's so floppy. I could lasso a baby calf with this floppy a** bacon. If you don't believe me, I attached a photo of what floppy bacon should look like. Professional Floppy Bacon 12/10. I would also like to mention the Coke this place served was top tier. It's like it's chilled prior to coming out the fountain dispenser. It just went down SO smooth. Drink some. Also. It's a medium-quiet place. Family friendly. Has that down home look and feel.

    After reading the menu my cousin and my wife and I selected items for dining. The waiter urged…read moreselection of 3 sides for my cousin - and, since my wife likes sweet potato fries, added the sweet potato fries to her order for steak and shrimp plus 3 sides. I ordered the cod and 2 sides (reduced to two pieces of cod) from the same menu. at that time, NO mention was made of price changes for the sides. We think - if the menu says 3 sides included - that they should not incur an 'add-on' charge - the word INCLUDED doesn't mention additional cost. those that incur a cost should be separated from the selections that are included, and not listed mixed into the included ones. We dined, but the waiter apparently does not have much experience - and had to be asked for steak sauce, and shrimp sauce. Those normally are either offered at time of order - or brought with the steak and shrimp. When I received the bill, I was surprised that the "included sides" had been charged and the price for them changed from what shows on the menu. When I protested that isn't what the menu states - the other waiter (older and maybe more experienced), said that the owner increased prices on the add-on sides. I replied, "that isn't what the menu lists and I'm not paying for increases not listed." I consider this deceptive advertising - it would have taken only a few minutes to adjust their printed menu prices with an ink pen and be 'up front' with diners about the prices one is expected to pay. I wonder how long it will take before the prices are either inked in to be accurate or reprinted menus provided... I don't know what others think about this, or how many others actually look at the prices - - but I plan to find other places to dine out when I come to visit my cousin for a couple weeks a year. The bar two doors over has great food too - and their menu reflects the prices that are on your bill. I looked at the Jacks online menu today, May 8, and the higher prices for add-on sides shows there. The increases/changes are not reflected in the in-restaurant printed menus as of May 7. Things like that might have something to do with the rather sparse turnout last evening or it could be some other factor in play. Years ago, Jacks was always crowded when we came to visit.

    Very friendly service and the food was amazing! Great battered cod; the soups were delicious and…read morethe cheese curds were yummy! So glad we found this restaurant during our trip!!
