I came here with a friend for Taste of the Tri-Cities and we were both amazed at the quality and…read moreservice we received. To begin, we were greeted by an extremely friendly and cheerful server who genuinely seemed happy to serve us. He took our food order first as we weren't decided on drinks yet and said he would return shortly after he put our food order in. My friend ordered the 3 course menu, while I ordered the 5 course menu. He did note that since they were still new at serving the taste of tri-cities menu he wanted to get our order in right away as it tended to take longer than some of the other menu items. A few minutes later he returned for our drink order, and I requested a grape-ade drink (white grape flavoured lemonade?). Another few minute later, he returned with our drinks. Mine was absolutely delicious and reminded me of a particular Japanese white grape flavour that I love. After getting through a third of our drinks, our server returned very apologetic. He advised that our courses were taking longer than expected to be served and therefore we would be able to order another drink of choice on the house. As it hadn't even been that long, we were surprised but extremely grateful for the upfront honesty and quick action on the part of the staff. After another 10 minutes or so, our first course was set on our table. My first course was a soup of the day, which turned out to be a delicious cheddar and broccoli soup. It had some carrot slivers as well, and was a perfectly well balanced soup. My next course, the seared scallops, were brought out quite quickly and were also quite delicious. Admittedly, this was my first time trying scallops so I can't truly review them one way or another, given I didn't know what to expect from them. My third course was the beef arugula salad and although it didn't smell as appetizing given the mixture of plates I had prior, it was incredibly delicious. The meat was cooked perfectly and was just as tender and juicy as I had hoped. My fourth course, the red wine braised short rib served with fondant potatoes and roasted seasonal vegetables, was positively to die for. I, admittedly, was stuffed at this point and already knew I'd have leftovers, but I wanted to finish every bite if I was able as it truly was perfection. Finally, for my fifth course, I was given the cheesecake which was rich, creamy and delicious. It was just the right size of slice and finished off the meal wonderfully. I could not recommend this place more given the service, friendliness, ambiance, and quality of the dishes. This restaurant is incredibly welcoming, with something for everyone from morning to night. It's well worth a visit!

There was not a soul in the restaurant. We weren't really treated so I asked if we ordered at the counter or should we seat ourselves and they would come to the table. He told us to take a seat. We did. We waited about 5 mins. Thinking they'd bring us a menu or ask if we wanted coffee. We looked at the menu on the wall to see what we might want. But no one came to take an order or bring me us. They just kept restocking and cleaning. So my hubby n I decided to leave. So really did t eat there. Got no service. Would not recommend.

A bit different than the standard breakfast menu. I had the halipino omelette and my partner had the mushroom omelette. I'm sure it is made with three eggs as it was a lot. It came with thin chopped potatoes and toast. There was plenty for us. This is a small dinner and the tables are the 50's theme. Chairs were newer. Big wall scenes enhanced the place. The owner was extremely friendly and I believe his wife does the cooking. Service was great and there were about 6 tables on going when we left. All were served quickly. The food came hot. It didn't sit around under food warmers. The place opens at 830 which I thought for a breakfast place is a little late for opening.

Rosie's Country Cafe is nestled in neatly between a mixture of businesses ranging from furniture…read moreand mattress supply, to IT services and beyond. This "diamond in the rough" cafe is just what any hard-working business needs as the go-to next door joint Conveniently located as they are, they're available for dine-in, take-out, or Food Delivery apps such as UberEats/SkipTheDishes. NOTE: menu prices are subject to change when using food delivery apps- so shop around! This time around I ordered UberEats, for pickup. My coworkers have ordered from here numerous times and finally.. today was my day. The ambiance was clean, open, and inviting upon entering and I was greeted with a big smile from the man behind the counter, serving two dine-in customers. I was welcomed and given my order, waiting, very quickly, by the front door, and was soon on my way back to work. The Cajun Chicken Burger was tasty, and cooked just right, though the spices were to be desired. I love my Cajun food, but here, they were overwhelmed by the other accoutrements on the bun itself. It almost may as well have been salted/peppered at most. That said, the Two juicy pieces of white meat chicken? How can you go wrong! The only way, would be if you don't ready yourself with some napkins - my chicken was sliding all over l, out of the bun, and my hands were covered in mayo. But, it was worth it to pop those birds back in and chomp away~ My fries were crispy, crackly, and fluffy on the inside, without too much grease. They were fried to perfection and when paired with the delicious gravy (tastes like chicken!) I was beyond pleased. Smooth, creamy gravy with savoury notes, that tastes homemade? Yes, please, all day~ To round it out, I also got myself an English Toffee coffee to go. Hot, smooth, creamy, and buttery all rolled into a delicious brew, to go. Again, how can one complain? If you're looking for a tasty bite with a smile, at a slightly higher cost than fast food (because this trounces those joints), in a convenient location, that hits it out of the park every time with what they dish out, then Rosie's door is open and waiting for you to sit down and prepare to be satiated~!

The two by five dish looked miserable, especially the sausage. They looked shriveled up. I swapped the toast for the stuffed hashbrowns and that was the highlight. The stuffed hashbrowns contained cheese, maple bacon, sour cream and green onions. Pretty much a meal on its own as it was quite a big portion. The hash was also crispy which was nice. The rest of the breakfast dish was passable but not wow. Excellent service by the server which made the experience not too bad. Hopefully the lunch items would be better? Not sure if I will go back again though.

They basically want you to order right after you seated and pay the bill as soon as you have your last bite still in your mouth. Nobody bothered to fill my water even they passed me many many times. The only time the waitress (all koreans, but speak English) talked to me was when I ordered, and when I literally just finished my food telling me to pay at the counter. If you do not want customers to hang out, maybe think about turning into a take-out only place. Then nobody would think "as soon as I finished my food, I'm not welcome here."
