The service was great just not thrilled with the hamburger that I ordered but I will try something else. I'm not disappointed

Amazing prices - delicious food dine in or pick up. So convenient and clean highly recommend this restaurant.

The Jimmy chicken sandwich was two chicken fingers side by side on the bun, which weren't just not hot, but room temperature at best. The bacon and cooked mushrooms on it were cold and the bun just fell apart. The side salad was ok, but the dressing was so cold it just plopped onto the salad and wouldn't mix up. May be good if you're looking for a greasy spoon style place, but healthier options were extremely few and far between if that's what you are looking for. read more

The spaghetti was good overall the food was good the cheese ravioli was ok the service was great

When "Rainy Days and Mondays" aired on the radio on this dreary morning which was also, fittingly, a Monday, the die was cast: I was headed for some comfort food. Karen Carpenter's smooth, beautiful contralto voice singing this doleful song was all but directing me to do so.  In a month that has been 5.3 degrees F below normal and has seen 15 out of 25 days (including the last 8 straight) with more clouds than sun, it was inevitable that this Miami boy find something to shore up his flagging spirit.  I chose Rosa Mae's Cafe, where I found what I was looking for. I had the ground sirloin, turnip greens, blackeyed peas, lima beans, corn bread, and sweet tea. The ground sirloin with gravy and onions was delicious--just the thing I was looking for. Let's face it: the vegetables were canned. But that is not necessarily a bad thing. All of them had a wonderful, comforting flavor that really hit the spot. The corn bread had a nice taste but was really dry. The sweet tea was about average. The service was friendly, but the price was a tick high. I am awarding 3.5 stars and rounding up to 4 because they met my need for some home cooking without the hassle of doing it myself. The forecast is bleak for sunshine--the rest of this week looks to be mostly cloudy.  Looks like I will be seeking some more home cooking. read more

Rosa Mae's Cafe - Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down...so I sought some comfort food. - Sandwiches Near Me - Highway, North Carolina

Food is very good always taste great, the service is grade and friendly, and the atmosphere is very welcoming.

Been eating here for years, always good...until today. Huge disappointment. Walked in and placed to go order, waited 30+ minutes on food; everyone is short-staffed these days, so I was being patient. Owner finally asked what I ordered, went to kitchen and returned immediately with my order. On the 12 min drive home, I got to wondering how long my food had been sitting in the kitchen. Yep, As you can see, my chicken wasn't even 100 degrees...on top of that they shorted me a side item, and the seafood portion was small. I did the right thing and called restaurant to share my dissatisfaction; owner had stepped out...Left my number for a callback. No call yet. If I wanted pasta I had to heat before eating, I would have opened a box of Stouffer's. If you want an adequate portion of seafood, visit Sunrise Diner on Randolph St. Will I go back? Depends whether proprietor calls me back. read more

Rosa Mae's Cafe - Sandwiches Near Me - Highway, North Carolina

We haven't visited this place in over a year, in fact we almost forgot it was just down the road from our house! But, to say the least, it is a wonderful FAMILY restaurant. I love that there are daily specials offered so you can try something new and save a few hard earned bucks. The inside is cozy with natural sunlight coming in, tall ceilings in the very center, and tables and booths nestled together in rows. The wait staff is friendly and easy going, always willing to help out with the menu, which is quite extensive. If you aren't sure what to eat, the menu may complicate your decision because they offer everything from soups; hotdogs; sandwiches galore: roast beef, chicken, bbq, burgers, chicken salad, tuna salad, clubs; loads of veggies to choose from; pastas; seafood; and entrees like smothered chicken, beef tips and rice, pork chops, and country style steak. There is definitely something for everyone to enjoy at Rosa Mae's Cafe and at an affordable price. I recently enjoyed the daily special, which was beef tips and rice with 2 sides, choice of bread, and tea. I chose baked beans and fried okra for my sides, cornbread, and sweet tea. Everything was served hot and fresh, the meat was tender, the rice fresh and soft, okra nice and crunchy, and the sweet tea was southern sweet, just right. No complaints at all! If you're ever in the Thomasville area, I'd recommend stopping by sometime. Oh and by the way, if you happen to save a little room for dessert, there's always something baked up fresh, sliced, and ready to go. I personally favor the red velvet cake but I'm sure their pies will make a perfect ending to your supper too... read more

Rosa Mae's Cafe - Beef tips with rice and gravy, fried okra, baked beans, and cornbread. - Sandwiches Near Me - Highway, North Carolina

Food wasn't bad key lime pie was horrible service from waitresses was great but for us way to expensive for what it was

Rosa Mae's is one of those small Southern town, fried green tomato, kiss-my-grits kind of diners - frequented by the locals, distained by the foo/foo crowd and the drive-by grazers. All in all a solid, relaxing place to grab a country cooking meal - that is what they offer, and they do it well - with good service, and a nice smile. The restaurant has some age on it, as do many of the diners here - remember, follow the blue hairs for value meals. The interior is a bit of a maze, a little dimly lit, but comfortable, relaxing. The menu is broad for a place this size - a nice list of sandwiches, including burgers, hot dogs (really, really good!) chicken salad, tuna salad, BLT, Flounder, Grilled Cheese, Hoagies, and more - and even an Open Face Roast Beef, and an even more interestingly, a Country Style Steak Sandwich. Variety of meat & 2 plates - Fried Steak, CS Steak, Chicken Tenders, Pork Chops, Chicken Livers, Beef Liver, Veal Cutlet, Ham Steak, a nice assortment of Fried Seafood, and even Chopped BBQ. Daily specials are available, and they offer over 20 side dishes to accompany these choices. Some Italian items - Spaghetti (a number of different ways, including Greek), Lasagna, Cheese Manacotti, Veal Parmesan, and yes, even more. Nice selection of salads for those wanting something lighter - not sure why, but some do. The Fried Steak (Chicken Fried Steak to me) was excellent - right up there with Smith Street Diner & Moose Cafe in G'boro - and a nice portion. The Fried Chicken Livers were also well sized, and delicious - crusty on the outside, tender and tasty inside. The Fried Okra was very nice, as was the buttered Rice with gravy - the Pintos were bland, and the Fried Squash was not memorable. Cheese Biscuits are nice - rolls, not so much. Chili dog was very, very, very good - great meaty chili with rich flavor, nice weiner, and a soft bun - at $2, a little hgh, but awfully good. They also are a little different for this type restaurant in that they offer beer & even a small selction of inexpensive wines. Thanks to Sharon P. for the call - was worth the short trip. read more

Each time I ate here, I ended up with a horrific stomach ache. The last time they had to keep taking it back because it wasn't prepared as asked. That last time when they finally got it right, I was sick. That wasnt my first experience but my last. The time before that I thought it might of been something else but I was positive that time around. Besides they're portions have gotten smaller but the price remains the same. read more

Great homestyle cooking , lovely waitresses , great prices , the only con is it can be a little crowded and loud.

The visit started off on the wrong foot when the new(ish) waitress put us at a table where the sun was glaring in my husband's eyes. We moved for obvious reasons. We eat here often and usually love the food, but this time the chicken fried steak with gravy was barely luke warm, the macaroni and cheese was not warm at all and by the time you got the waitress, it wasn't worth the time to have it replaced. The coleslaw was good though! It was not busy when we came in. So, not sure if it was the new(ish) waitresss who let the food sit before bringing out, having only two waitresses, the large catering order they were working on or what, but we were disappointed with this meal and don't think we will go back for awhile. read more

If you're thinking about going here, go. We always get takeout and oh boy it's so worth it!! Their bbq chicken is so yummy and comes with two sides plus bread. We go every Monday and two meals for $15 is so hard to beat! read more

Tired of fast food? Tired of the same 'ol stuff? Then get to Rosa Mae's in Thomasville. Ample seating, a great atmosphere and courteous staff are awaiting you. Jimmy (owner) treats everyone like family and if his menu covers everything from steak, seafood to Greek and Italian. There is something delicious for everyone! read more

We use to eat here often before they relocated, since then prices went up and quality of food not as good. Vegetables are not seasoned, Italian food ok, prices are not competitive for this area. Owner very nice and their desserts are fabulous... We just find other places to go now... Nice inside very clean! read more

One of my favorite lunch spots. Has lunch specials everyday. The soup and grilled cheese is great in the winter. All the soups are homemade. Also, the key lime pie and chocolate pound cake are melt in your mouth. read more

Food is good decor is great staff Is friendly and efficient be sure to try the Jimmy burger and hot chips!

Personally, I don't really like the country cooking, but my friends love it! Would I like to go back, probably not. When it comes to reviewing restaurants, it is more about individual's preferences. The place was clean, service was good and the food was ok. Please try this place, you might like it very much. read more
