Been here a couple of times. When I can't decide where to go, and am not in the mood for burgers or bbq, I come here. The front of the house is really friendly. We have always been seated quickly. The dining car out front gets REALLY loud so I prefer to sit in the booths in the main restaurant. They make there own desserts - the blueberry pie and the Strawberry Rhubarb is delicious! They have a huge whiskey selection and you can join the whisky club. You get prizes after you taste 25, 50 and 100 whiskys! Of course, I joined! LOL. The fish and chips delicious. Batter fried, the fish is steamy and delicate. The fries are addictive. And the slaw met my high quality and high quality expectations. The Bone in porkchop was tender and flavorful. I never order pork chops because they can be tough and lack flavor. This was neither. The flavor was infused throughout the meat! The mac and cheese is HUGE! Not runny and not gooey. The cheese was thick without being cloying. This was a doggy-bag item and it heated up nicely! This is one of our regular places! read more

I lived in Somerville for 4 years and never ate here once! I missed out! It was great! I really loved the atmosphere and the Mai Tai was very yummy!! I ordered the BBQ Pork Flatbread and it was delish!! The Peanut Butter Fudge pie was to die for! Other people I was eating with REALLY liked the Strawberry Rhubarb pie that they had for a special. Definitely would go back! read more

Rosebud Bar & Kitchen - New American Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

I've been a loyal Rosebud Customer for years so I can't believe I'm writing this review. I always get take out and ALWAYS get the Texas Rachel. Recently, however, they've been pretty careless about slice of brisket that they choose to put on the sandwich- and this time I was horrified when my ENTIRE sandwich was mostly fat. I kid you not. Couldn't even eat it it was that bad as you can see from the picture I'll post. Usually I would chalk it up to a mistake, but there's no way who ever put the brisket on my sandwich wouldn't have noticed before it went out of the kitchen. It was pure laziness on their part. Never coming back. read more

Rosebud Bar & Kitchen - Texas Rachel- all fat no meat - New American Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Came to rosebud the other day for the first time. I've been eyeing this place for a while and finally decided to check it out. Was a bit of a wait. That being said it was Valentine's Day. We got the pu pu platter and were delighted. The Thai ribs are amazing, probably some of the best I've had. Staff was super nice but a little slow with the check. Would come back. read more

Classic diner. Great for brunch in a bustling, cozy environment. Should've split the veggie skillet with my friend, it was that generously portioned. The bloody mary was *strong* and delicious. It kicked my butt. Fortunately my friend was driving :) read more

i ordered the nashville hot chicken sandwich. this was easily the best chicken sandwich i have ever had. the service was great and the staff were so kind. the seating area was great because they had indoor and outdoor and the music was great. read more

About an hour for dinner for 2 without feeling rushed. We were seated for our reservation upon arrival. Our server came almost immediately to greet us and fill our water glasses. He came back to get our drink and cocktail order. We tried the calamari. The breading was crunchy but we thought the rings were chewy. My cocktail, la casa de azul, was good but not blue as I expected. I had the chicken fried catfish sandwich and my date had the fried chicken thighs. The sandwich was great. The bun was soft and even though I hate shredded lettuce, it provided a great texture but didn't keep my bun from getting soggy as I ate. The bbq bacon should be it's own meal or at least appetizer! The fries were hot and crunchy on the outside and meaty on the inside. The chicken thigh entree comes with 3 thighs mashed potatoes and slaw. The thighs were good sized but we thought it could've been seasoned better. The potatoes were good. The slaw was not good at all. The server was present but not intrusive. The requested condiments were brought before the meal hit the table. The appetizer plates were removed immediately prior to the entrees being served. My only complaint is the hostess who kept leaning into the "train area" to see who's almost finished or whatever. She leaned right behind my date about 4 times. It annoyed me considering she could've just walked into the area and saw everything. read more

I'm not usually one to write reviews, but I'll say right off the bat that the 5 Stars are well deserved. As someone who grew up going to the original diner car, I have to say I was wary of the Rosebud's makeover at first. I couldn't imagine how they could take something so nostalgic and turn it into a bar. I prepared myself for the inevitable sadness of losing somewhere I had loved, but when I finally sucked it up and went to the new Rosebud for brunch, I was thrilled to find how well they managed to preserve the atmosphere. The menu finds a perfect balance between traditional diner fare, and modern American cuisine. Even the more "basic" options come with a twist, and everything is flavorful and cooked to perfection. I could probably eat the duck and fig flatbread every day for the rest of my life and never get tired of it. And don't even get me started on the pies- I'm already looking forward to the return of the seasonal peppermint bark pie! But it's the customer service that really pushed the Rosebud into 5 Stars for me. After having a small birthday party there and experiencing some issues with the service, I reached out and contacted them about my experience because it was so out of character with what I had come to expect from them. I only meant to give some feedback, but the general manager responded to me personally and hand delivered a pie to my home! It was such a kind gesture, and it really made me feel like they value every customer and the customer experience at the restaurant. Awesome all around, I'll be a customer for life! read more

Since we loved this place so much, we recommended it for a friend's birthday dinner. We had 6 people that fit comfortably in a big booth. Once again, I was impressed with all the food that came out. The pumpkin mac and cheese was a surprise table favorite. I got the shrimp and grits for a meal and thought it was flavorful. Loved the blueberry crumble pie for dessert! read more

This place is so beautiful and unique! Love the train car on the front, and the food and service was fantastic. I recommend making reservations ahead of time. We actually arrived 30 minutes before our reservation and they were able to accommodate us kindly. Three of us all shared the pumpkin macaroni and cheese, the friend chicken, and the kale Cesar salad - LOVED IT. I'm not drinking alcohol presently and very much appreciated and enjoyed my grapefruit sprintz. We still had leftovers between the three of us. Such a pretty spot and looking forward to returning! read more

Solid place for dinner. I shared the fried Brussels sprouts to start, and then the Texas Rachel in a skirt and the half smoked chicken. Fried Brussels sprouts - the sauce on these things was amazing, gave it a sweet/salty kick Texas Rachel - a lot going on here and quite messy to eat. I liked the brisket, the rye, but the combination of everything was a bit much for me. crinkle fries on the side was nice touch. Half chicken - the most lacking of the 3. The smokiness definitely came through,though lacked any flavor and needed more hominy! read more

Rosebud BLT Burger looked beautiful but had no juiciness, no saltiness, no flavor except from the raw purple onions. Not even from the bacon. I have eaten here pre covid but just had the blueberry pie, which was great! The menu is 3 pages of alcohol and one page of food so I am wondering if dinners are just not their strong point and better for booze and dessert. It's super cute and staff were fine so worth going for something but just not the burger which feels like a brick in my stomach. read more

Above average dinner food with REALLY good pie. Upscale diner ambiance with booths and all. Had a spicy chicken sandwich which wasn't very spicy at all. Best part about the meal was the pie...some of the best key lime pie I've had in my life. Would come back for the pie, not for the food, with all the other great restaurants in Davis Square. read more

My favorite brunch outside of Boston! Big bud with a side of pancakes the perfect hangover cure! read more

I love Rosebud. Mainly because I remember what Rosebud used to be like, a hulking carcass of a bar with a karaoke stage in the back, populated by stoners and all-out weirdos (I loved them too), that served stuff like hot dogs and mozzarella sticks, and there was a single pool table that nobody really used right in the middle of the shitty lawn chairs that were strewn about among the drunks. They burned all that shit down though and now Rosebud is all swanky and pristine. It still has that '50s diner car thing in the front, which connects to the dining room. There's also a downstairs with a bathroom. I didn't even know there was a downstairs, they must have carved it out of the earth and discovered the new restaurant like Roman ruins or buried treasure. I take all my OKCupid dates here, without exception. They don't know that it's a kind of religious observance of the past for me, or that I have a notebook with checkboxes so I can try all the drinks and food of the NEW Rosebud, and that really they're just serving as decorations for the interim. Like aquarium fish. They don't seem to mind though. You know before the old Rosebud closed down, my friend Jackie and I won the disco ball that used to hang near the karaoke stage in a raffle. It was sad, almost like when your parents get divorced and they argue over who gets to keep the dog. I miss hugging drunks. You have to try the BBQ cauliflower, by the way. I think I ate like 10 pounds of it so far. They also have pies. The food is a little bit expensive given what else is in Davis Square (maybe only by a couple dollars per dish), but I'll let it slide because they dress up the waitstaff in jumpsuits that mechanics wear. read more

I went to this place back when it was confined to just the little dining car, back when I first moved to Somerville. It's expanded quite a lot since then, but it's still one of my favorite spots for brunch or dinner. The dinner menu is delicious, especially their ribs and their loaded mac and cheese. Their brunch menu is your basic New England brunch, but everything on it tastes great. Their servers are knowledgeable about the menu and provide great service from start to finish. I've never tried their whiskey club, but they do have a whiskey club and really, how many places can say that? What I have tried is their coffee and oh. my god. It's the best coffee I've had anywhere, ever. So smooth and rich..it tastes as good as coffee beans smell, and utterly lacks that acrid taste in most coffee that makes me want to load it up with cream and sugar. It's the only coffee I'll take black and sugarless, and when I said how much I liked it our waiter actually got me some of the beans to take home and make myself! How sweet is that? Seriously, if you're in Davis you have to give this place a shot. Any time of day, it's always a good choice. read more

TL After a change in the head chef role there are obvious and unfortunate changes folks that go here will notice. Full disclosure I've only been going for 1.2 years now having moved to the Davis area. The burger is a burger... no longer sesame seeded and diner-esque, it presents itself as another burger. If you're after a burger that isnt the old sesame I'd venture elsewhere as you'll find it (the current one) anywhere, especially in Davis at that price point. If you approach the rosebud as a diner joint you'll still find they have shakes and their brunch is fantastic! As a restaurant and bar trying to compete with the rest of Davis, they only fall slightly short of the rest of established places and I think it's only because change is hard. If I walked in as a stranger this place is a 4/5 easily, the foods great, the vibes awesome and the bar is a great spot to spend a game, have meal with friends, or do a bit of work. But if they want to hold old customers two things need to happen. Empower the head chef to train his staff to avoid sending bad food, and bring back some diner elements. Its awkward when every new Customer walks in expecting a diner-ish experience and is presented with such a non-diner vibe. For folks who havent been...you'll see on arrival a beautifully restored diner car on the street side with classic neon signage but not much else on that road, shakes mentioned already. I was served something that simply should not have gone out, and I'm confident the head chef would have said the same, however they cant be expected to observe every meal that is served. The staff in the back of house must maintain the same standards the head chef does or else you end up with soup instead of mac and cheese. 3/5 only because there is clear room to improve to again become a staple of the Davis dinner experience. I dont doubt the folks next to me had a 4/5 experience or greater but I review what I see and hear and taste! Bar service was 5/5 and the selection is as broad as ever. The only thing lacking is tequila but that's pragmatic because the painted burrow is literally a feabled stones throw away and they have like a billion available. read more

If you're contemplating where to go to brunch in the area pick this place! The food is amazing. The brown sugar bacon is the best I've had and the chicken and waffles are delicious. read more

Are you kidding me? This was absolutely stunning food. I think I have the best burger I've ever eaten sitting in my belly right now and I'm really happy about it. Me and my girlfriend just popped in here on a Tuesday night. As superfans of Painted Burro, we knew this place was gonna be great but holy dingus this place is amazing. I got the Griddled Cheeseburger with apple smoked bacon and good God man...whatever sauce they put on this should be my new shampoo. My girlfriend got the Texas Rachel in a Skirt, a delicious smoked brisket sandwich that had her in amazed silence for like 20 minutes - something I've never achieved. ALso make sure to get the fried pickles as a side - they were sick. And I haven't even mentioned the perfectly done decor and ambiance - they really pulled off the modern twist on the classic diner thing they were going for with the reno. Just a great job all around. Wow. read more

American brunch in a retro diner full of hipsters, donuts and good vibes Loved the ambiance at Rosebud! Its retro but its sleek too. This place is poppin on the weekends so get that reservation in! Loved my croque madame -- so cheesy and so heavy! The donuts are a must have! Different flavors on a rotating basis Only have simple coffee; it was okay. In all -- tried, tested, approved.

I love love love this place!!! I can't say that enough. I'm not even exaggerating, but I am there EVERY weekend. It's almost embarrassing. They must think I can't feed myself hahaha but I live in Davis Square so, why not? I didn't have the opportunity to dine here before it was revamped so I can't compare it to what is was before, but I don't even care because it's just so great as it is now. The food is AMAZING. I've had the Griddled Cheese Burger numerous times (with all the add ons) and it keeps getting better, the ribs, the pork chop, the chicken thigh platter and even the hogs head. Get a side of the Mac and Cheese, you won't regret it. The food is just soooo on point. Don't even get me started on brunch!!! (heart eyes emoticon) The Biscuits and Gravy with eggs should be a new religion because I literally worship it. Add a side of brown suger bacon. And they have a whiskey iced coffee that is perfect around noon on a hungover Sunday. Great cocktail and beer selection! From the hosts to the waitstaff to the bartenders, everyone is so friendly and welcoming (and they are all easy on the eyes which is NEVER a bad thing. Beards and Lumbersexuals run free and wild here #CanIGetAnAmen) The vibe is just so great. I'll probably be there this weekend so come say howdy haha. Five stars all around!!! read more

Good for brunch. Apparently it got revamped a few months ago which is why it came up on my radar. All of their items sounded so tasty. I liked the interior decor a lot. Well assembled and redone for so many different types of seating - from their little diner popout trailer type extension to their inside seating and bar area. Friendly service, which is always important to have on a Saturday morning. So i went with a few girls, so we all got different items to try. Not overly priced, matching most prices in the Somerville area. Texas Hash & Eggs - not overly salty hash & eggs were sunny side up **Duck Flatbread - quite large and i enjoyed the fig & duck pairing **Baconater Benny - eggs benedict with home fries - classic dish that you can't go wrong with French toast - the brioche was a bit hard? But personally I didn't mind it. We could have used more syrup, but for people who don't like it overly sweet, I didn't mind. The marscarpone was a great compliment to the texture of the french toast Madame Croque was also ordered but I didn't get to try / ask about it. ** = highly recommend I could be over reaching with all 5 stars, but there was nothing wrong from my visit. It could have been a combination of the company and the holiday decorations, or the fact that this hit close to home where nyc can do brunch well (albeit overpriced), but I really enjoyed my brunch. read more

I've avoided Rosebud for a while now, because I always thought that it was a bit pricy for boring-sounding food. I'm here to admit that I was wrong, wrong, wrong! First of all - the shrimp and grits!!! I lay no claim to any sort of southern heritage, but the grits, oh my god the grits! So buttery and smooth, yet a good kick of spice. Covered in gravy and six fat shrimps. Wow. Next time I come back this is going to be my entree, no sharing!! Entrees were the ribs and country fried steak. The ribs were done well - fall of the bone good, but the sauce was a bit too sweet for me (maybe I'm just getting old) and the sides were not great. I think I ate more of my husband's dinner - the country fried steak was tender and juicy, and it came with a side of BACON SALAD, enough said. Too full to try any of the beautiful pies, but will definitely be back! read more

I have an idea--your dog is kind of old, so let's kill it and mount its hollowed-out carcass and let some new dog sleep in there, and pretend it's still the same dog. Worked for the Rosebud, right? They demolished all of the Rosebud--a place with history, meaning, and purpose--except for the outer shell, then filled it with faux-weathered wood and faux-antique light bulbs, which I guess is appropriate since that's the cookie-cutter look of today like diners were 75 years ago. I know the front and back of the old setup never worked well together, but to destroy something important to create this run-of-the-mill place is just such a letdown. read more

Had a very nice lunch at Rosebud today. Service and food were great. Only minus's we're they were out of 2 local brews advertised and soggy crinkle fries were terrible-I think they were those frozen ones your mom used to make on a sheet pan!! Loaded tots were delicious as was my chicken BLT!! read more

I've tried to like Rosebud I really have. The website is awesome (for a tech guy that's important), the ambience is great, the service is pretty good... But man this place has way too much of a corporate feel to me. The advertising doesn't live up to the quality. Desertwise: Pass on the fruit pies, really... The turtle one is delicious though. Brunch: was ok, nothing unique or special. And really for the price I would expect a little more wow for my buck. The success of this restaurant seems to hinge on the location. Dinner: I ordered a sandwich for dinner (I still want to get the the hog head). The sandwich was under average. The sound of rosebud is great, but when you get in you the slew of disappointing experiences cannot help but frame your feelings. read more

Great atmosphere -- a little gastropub-y with a flair of elegance. Came here with friends but also saw families with young children, people with their parents, and people on dates. The new Rosebud will fit in nicely with its Davis Square counterparts on Elm Street. The menu is great. Most of it is traditional BBQ fare with a twist -- a lot of Asian nuances (dashi broth kale, a pseudo-ramen dish, etc.). We started off with the green beans, which were hot, juicy, and came with chunks of pork shoulder. It was our humble attempt to eat something vaguely healthy before we chowed down on our fried chicken. Fried chicken was crispy and super moist, although the skin didn't stick to the chicken very well so I had to use my fork to eat the chicken and then scoop up fried bits to make it one cohesive bite. Save room (or don't, and just feel sick afterwards...which is what I did) for PIE! Warm pie. Cold pie. Seasonal pie. There's also a couple of other non-pie dessert options if you're terrible and dislike pie. We got the chocolate pie, lemon meringue, and banana cream. All were fabulous. Also highly recommend the Lunch Car cocktail. I had two. We came in at 5:30 on a Saturday and there was no wait, but the line was well out of the door by the time we left at 7:30. read more

The toughest chicken fried steak I've ever had. An oil soaked bacon and spinach salad beside a deep fried slab of tire rubber makes me sad on the inside. The staff seemed friendly, though heavily over worked. I only got table service 2 times in over an hour, wherein I ordered and was asked if I wanted my check... They apologized for their rushed state, but that only goes so far. Okay, so let me explain what was wrong with this steak. Chicken fried steak is made with round steak. A very tough poorly marbled slab of muscle that can have a lot of flavor, but if prepared like other steaks will turn into rubber before you even think it's warm. So, unlike other steaks that you can leave medium rare and assume will remain tender, round steak needs to get itself beat down into a whimpering mass of tender deliciousness. This physical damage breaks apart the muscle fibers that when cooked contract and contribute to the tough rigid nature of the steak. The cooks here took the easy step (understandable for someone that had not made this dish before) of undercooking the meat, however this left me with a nearly inedible flap of beef for dinner. The salad is a another sad tale of a missing touch of love. The oily, heavy dish needs a clean vibrant flavor to cut though it. Add a small splash of ranch and remove some of the excess oil (towel off the bacon/onions) and this thing would be a clear cut winner. All together this was a sloppy meal design that left me hungry and disappointed. read more

Remember the old Rosebud? So wonderfully divey. This... isn't that. I can't say it's better (apples and oranges) but I will say I like it and here's why. Space: The new Rosebud is all dark rustic wood and sexy red booths. An ideal space to post up for a cocktail and Southern favorites with an interesting twist. Service: All smiles, peaches and cream friendly - but slow. Super slow. I've had to hunt down my server every single time I've been here after lengthy absences for everything from a water refill, a menu question or after a painful 30 minutes of what felt like waiter hide and seek, our check. Dinner: Order Southern favorites and you won't be disappointed. Similar to Sweet Cheeks but with a more innovative approach to dishes the Ribs, the Chicken Thigh Platter and the Fried Catfish are fan favorites. I also particularly liked the Duck & Fig Flatbread, the Fried Brussels (the Tabasco BBQ gives a nice kick) and the Parker Style Biscuits. You can't go Southern without doing Biscuits well. Cocktails:Their bourbon collection is serious and the cocktail list is promising. They did well with classics - the Last Word is really tasty and I enjoyed their Mint Julep. In this neighborhood I don't know if I'd pick here over say, Saloon, for cocktails alone but they hold their own pretty well. It's not my jam but others get pretty excited for their barrel-aged Negronis Brunch: I was thrilled to sample their brunch, since my love runs eternal for the Burro's morning offerings. Unfortunately I think I may have ordered wrong - my french toast was bone dry and the blackberry compote didn't do much to help. On the plus side, the same (or similar) brown sugar bacon that Painted Burro slings is delicious here. More than willing to return and try out something else from their morning line-up. And true to their past life as a diner, they make pie. Come on, everybody loves pie. read more

4.3701 Stars Nice update on the old place hadn't been there since grad school. (years of attending GS redacted, ok Bill Clinton first term era...) Eat in the diner car, make a reservation; we did. The bar is ginormous, and there are large booths in this room. They have a large number of taps, bottled beer list is long, and a great whiskey (Americano) selections. It looked like there was outdoor seating but it was raining when we went. Servers and bartenders were knowledgeable and affable. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Clearly front of the house has good training. what we ate: NOLA BBQ Shrimp - the cheese helped cool the hotness of the sauce (5/5) Wedge Salad - More like pruned romain with other salad fixings on top (4/5) Not Ramen - Like the champagne vs sparkling wine, it's a version of ramen, very tasty but the bok choy was slightly over abundant. (3.5/5) Smoked Half Chicken - this was a leg and thigh not a half chicken. It was delicious but no breast meat. The fried chicken on the menu specifies a leg/thigh. Still the skin was delightfully crisp and the meat was cooked thoroughly (in some bbq joints you might get under cooked chicken), yet it was moist. (3.7/5 would have been 4.5/5) * Not crazy about the music, but the men's room has near perfect acoustics! * Davis is much more pricey now then when I haunted the place, so yeah not a cheap date spot. * Going back for more bbq, fried pickles and catfish. * Parking is a biotch, except on Sunday, Day street lot is my goto spot. read more

We're going to bullet point this review for easy reading and bcz I don't want to relive the experience through writing. It's been a while since I've come to the Rosebud bcz I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and try as many other neighboring restaurants as possible. As a result, I wasn't aware of the renovation. Upon entering we were asked if we had a reservation which caused my friend and I to look at each other like Scooby Doo and Shaggy. After that the visit went downhill. Long story short: - Surly hostess and 'manager' of the bar area (the restaurant manager was great) - Great server - Noisy - Super slow service - Great bacon (that's all I ate) I know the Rosebud was a bit of a greasy spoon. However, it was a greasy spoon with heart and warmth. The staff made you want to come back and were extremely welcoming. I understand wanting to upgrade an image but they should consider changing the name (as another patron pointed out). This is no longer the Rosebud and they should not be allowed to bank on the good name that was earned over the past few decades. read more

Very disappointing. I've been to Rosebud twice since they've renovated and I wasn't a super-fan of the old rosebud, so I don't feel like my review is biased. Both times I've been to the new Rosebud and both times the service was SO DAMN SLOW. I went for brunch on two different days, once on a Saturday and then again today on Easter Sunday. I don't think restaurants should get a pass because it's a "holiday". The service should be just as good because it's a busy day regardless of the holiday. In fact, it's not like they had a special Easter Sunday brunch menu. It was the same brunch menu as always. Both instances, we (party of 2) sat for about 20mins ( i timed it the second visit because I'm that person) before anyone came over for water or asking what we'd like. Ordered food as soon as a waitress came to get our drink order because we had enough time to choose food and didn't want to wait another 20mins until we could order food. 1st experience we got our food and it was fine. I had the biscuits and gravy which were pretty good, so that's why I wanted to come back again today. Friend had the spinach omelet and she said it wad fine, but had to season it. This second time, we got only half our order because they brought us someone else's food, and then shortly after the rest of ours. Husband didn't finish his Salmon omelet because in his words "This isn't good. Bland. goat cheese was gross. over stuffed with salmon that isn't cooked well and the egg is too thin, like, there's no egg here." I made him describe it because his first reaction was " This isn't good." and pushed the plate away. I had the sausage+egg flat bread which was under seasoned but alright. I was satisfied. My overall issue was with the service because the waitress never came back to ask if we needed anything or to give us more water. I won't be coming back. read more

Couldn't ask for more!!! Lovely meal for my date night. I loved the chicken waffle, perfect seasoning with chilli and maple syrup, super crunchy chicken batter and the meat was soft inside. The lamb kebad tastes awesome, the only minus point is that the bread was soggy because of the sauce. Maybe they should've put the sauce in separate cups (idk ). The staffs was nice and lovely. I'll absolutely come back to try their brunch menu read more

Rosebud Bar & Kitchen - Chicken waffle, lamb kebab, and chicken wings - New American Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Amazing brunch spot would recommend to anyone. The chicken and waffles were to die for!

Summary: Trendy, unique, upscale, but too expensive and the occasional "meh" food and small portions. I've been twice so far, and will go again; hopefully, Pros: -Great service -Unique food (upscale comfort/BBQ with a bit of fusion) -Great whiskey list! (organized by distillery) -Wedge salad is romaine instead of iceburg, and was delicious Cons: -Even for the upscale bistro schtick, way overpriced -I liked their original opening menu a bit better (kale salad has disappeared) -They don't have a veggie side, and their salad choices aren't great. I'm low carb and it was surprisingly hard to get a hearty dinner ordered -Neither my companion nor I liked the pickled veggies read more

Rosebud is truly amazing. The food is great, the people are great, and they allow dogs on their patio! I suggest the hogs head what an adventure, for the more timid, the Mac and cheese is great too ;) read more

I don't think I've ever actually intentionally gone here, but somehow I end up here after having no luck trudging down Elm St. hoping for a spot to squeeze in at the bar. Their food is okay, don't get me wrong, and their drinks are tasty, and their staff are friendly. The problem is that they are super expensive for the quality. For an app, two drinks apiece, and two entrees, I paid close to what I paid for a ridiculously over-the-top meal at Sarma. There just isn't anything that makes it stand out, and the only reason I find myself here is because it's often one of the only spots that has seats available and it's just a little bit of too far a hike to Highland Kitchen. read more

Went here last night, the food was incredible had the fried chicken sandwich and wow! It was insane, the place is beautiful, the service was great. I will be returning soon! read more

This place is OK. They took some stuff off the menu, jacked up the prices, and the last time I ate here I found the food very unremarkable. The ambiance is nice, but that's about it. read more

Okay the Kale Gouda omelet here is life changing. The perfect amount of cheese, TONS of kale, eggs cooked perfectly and not too greasy, not too dry. HEAVEN. The breakfast potatoes were also so flavorful and cooked to perfection - and I typically pass on these! The dish even came with a nice side of greens with some amazing lite dressing. Oh and the biscuits. Homemade - order these instead of the donuts. HEAVEN with homemade preserves! The only disappointment was that I have never met a donut I didn't like. Until here. Maybe it was the flavors... They do not have standard choices like glazed. I got PB&J and it was awkward and not worth the calories. Service both waiter and hostess were also SOOOO nice and great! read more
