the staff was exceptional nice food was fast and good for the prices,

the atmosphere was warm and cozy and we loved the decor

i would go back and back and have told all my friends

We arrived an hour after opening on a Saturday and the line was already there. We were hoping that this was a sign that the food was that good. Unfortunately it was a sign that the payment systems were down, so cash only, the cooks were running late and the servers had no idea about the restaurant.



1) Sat by hostess and given menus, water and coffee.

2) Server comes with menus water and asks if we want coffee.

3) We are ready to order and the server has no clue about the menu. We even thought about ordering by number and she just could not get it.

4) They have whole wheat pancakes so I asked if I could have whole wheat waffles – the server looked at me as if I were speaking Greek. But said she would see.

5) Finally after painfully writing down every item, she submitted our order.

6) No coffee of water refills and 30 min later, the food arrives, but only half and the server behaves as if the missing portion is our fault.

7) A trip back to the kitchen and one plate of the remaining food

8) Another trip to the kitchen and the other plate of food.

9) Eating the meal was a lesson: thinking that just because the name Rosscoe’s is on the front does not mean it tastes anything like Roscoe’s in Cali. The waffles were undercooked and tasted like water and the chicken was overcooked – order plenty of gravy – but you may not get it until you leave.

10) Server brings the bill and tells us the cost will be 50% less since we had to wait so long, but wait, she comes back and says she is wrong – we have to have a coupon for that.
