Great food, nice people, big portions. Definitely a good place for breakfast.

This was a surprise find in Healy. It looks like a DIVE on the outside. When they brought the food I was in shock. We ended up asking for details on the recipes because the food was so good. Just goes to prove that you can't always judge the food by the exterior decor. read more

Typical diner food, nothing special. This place gets 5 stars because the staff is so nice. This is obviously a family run business. There aren't a lot of options around, especially in the winter.. but this place was perfect for the drive to Denali from Fairbanks. read more

Great homestyle food. Ask for their homemade salsa, you'll want to put it on everything! Definitely stop here on your way to/from Denali National Park! read more

Very nice dinner here March 12, 2019. The place was rather empty when we arrived. Water was on the table in no time flat. We had three breakfast orders and one dinner, all whIch was served promptly. Took less than 10 minutes and the food was all consumed. Everyone agreed it was definitely great. The homemade sourdough bread was the clear winner. It is also the bread used in the French toast. Overall, worth a stop if you are up this way in AK. read more

Big servings. Old fashioned home style cooking. Better than the big hotel restaurants which are expensive and crowded. Good service by friendly people. read more

Food. Fish and chips. Small portions (4) but very tasty and strawberry malted very tasty. BLT was on sour dough bread. Bread very good. BLT OK. Bacon cheese burger was good also. So bottom line service is good. The food is average to good. You will not go wrong eating here. Prices are fair also. read more

Possibly the best breakfast I've had at a diner anywhere. All food was cooked perfectly, and they had homemade donuts and pies. I rarely ever give 5-stars on Yelp, but this place is a close as it gets. It's so good that we'll be back again before heading out for Anchorage. read more

Wonderful place, pleasant, friendly service and delicious food. I had the breakfast sandwich served on biscuits with bacon and eggs. It was cooked just as I had requested and the portions were large so go hungry! The guys ordered burgers with fries and onion rings to fill up before hiking. They loved it and the onion rings were amazing thick slices, truly the best. read more

Great casual dining. The food is home cooked and amazing! The diner atmosphere makes you feel like a local. Friendly staff!

Went here for lunch twice; had the crispy chicken sandwich which is outta this world. Sooo good. Wasn't too impressed the second time, got a burger that tasted like frozen meat, also ordered the chicken tenders and the portion was definitely skimpy for $15. But otherwise, portions are generally large, with lots of fries/or onion rings. I'd go back again, and maybe try breakfast! read more

I can't even begin to say how amazing this little place is, if it's full of locals you know it's going to be great. One bit of advice; order only 1 pancake! With the family running the eatery and the kids bussing tables and helping out it was truly a fabulous place to sit down and enjoy. read more

The Grizzley Burger is BIG... And I dominated it. Not many choices for places to eat in this area. This place was rather pricey for a small "diner/cafe". Good service and good burger though. read more

Delicious food, great service! Highly recommend stopping here for breakfast when staying in Healy or just passing through

Loved our breakfast here! Warning, the pancake is HUGE. Highly recommend the biscuits and gravy, and their breakfast sandwiches were a wow. Everything was delicious! read more

Best breakfast I have had in a long time. Driving to Fairbanks from Anchorage and stopped for a little bite to eat. The food was good and is definitely worth the price. I hope to stop in again on the way back to Anchorage. read more

If I could give this place 3.5 stars I would. The service was great, considering it's a greasy spoon located in Healy. We found our way out to the patio after discovering the cafe to be full. The patio was screened in which was great. Filled with locals and tourists alike. Staff was friendly and accommodating. They are known for their fresh sourdough bread which tasted a bit less sourdoughy and more like white bread out of a bread machine. The fresh salsa was delicious on my biscuits and gravy. Added a nice kick to the canned gravy. I knew it was canned mostly because of the large empty can of gravy that had been transformed into a "butt can". All in all - enjoyable little cafe! The service and salsa were the two things that made this place. read more

We lucked out when we found this place- delish, affordable, filling, and down to earth. Drive down to the main Denali strip and everything quadruples in price and isn't as good as this place. We visited for breakfast and dinner and left happy and full each time. Great sandwiches (I'd stick to them) and their Huckleberry ice cream is a dream! read more

After a whole day of walking, we were HUNGRY! Maybe bordering on hangry. Rose's Cafe had great reviews so thats where we went. It is a small restaurant with an old school diner feel but it does not have a "stay for a while" ambiance. The service was good and our waitress was very personable. We ordered grilled cheese, fried chicken, and a chicken burger. Three simple meals made to well and enough to satisfy our hunger. Portions are generous and prices are very competitive. Best food in the area for sure. read more

Great stop on the road. It's a home cookin kind of place with great flavor and friendly staff. read more

Classic dinner food. Super nice staff. They were in the middle of a company dinner but got up to help one another mid meal. They even brought us a free salad when we requested vegetables and they had no veggie side orders. Really lovely people. read more

I was in Alaska with my family for a vacation and while en route to our cabins in Healy we all started to get very hungry. As expected, we were close to Denali National Park and cellphone reception was non-existent so we simply kept our eyes peeled and sure enough, Rose's came into view. We stopped with a group of six and despite the place being fairly busy they had seating ready for us immediately. We sat outside and luckily their back porch was netted (if you haven't heard, the state bird of Alaska is the mosquito) so it was very comfortable and the weather was fantastic. Our server appeared to also be the owner (Rose herself, perhaps?) who had a FANTASTIC sense of humor and was very attentive to my family despite the inside of the cafe being nearly full. The menu had enough options to please my whole family (including some local game meats, caribou and the like) and it was cooked wonderfully! I imagine I will never be back near Healy again in my lifetime but if I were ever lucky enough to I would be sure to stop in! Keep singing, -Jerron read more

Good, honest diner food. Breakfast is great. Burgers and sandwiches are solid. Get a homemade sourdough donut is they have any left. Awesome! read more

This place is the best! Service was good but the food was out of this world. The giant pancake are to die for. Fluffy and buttery despite the large size. Hash browns were amazing, but the home made salsa is killer. Put that on everything. read more

You could miss this place if you were paying attention as you drove bye. I'm glad we didn't though because it was the best meal we had had in days. The burgers and fries were awesome and that onion rings were huge and delicious. Staff was quite friendly. The Decour was interesting. I wish we had a place like this in my hometown. 12 stars read more

My husband and I wanted something near by and stopped in for dinner...maybe the breakfasts are better, but the dinner was a disappointment. I ordered the pork chop dinner which came with a salad (weak), mashed potatoes (out of a box) and gravy (canned), green beans (from a can), bread (hot dog buns toasted), and two small fried pork chops over cooked and tough as jerky. My husband ordered a cheeseburger and he got the soup as a side (tomato/macaroni/ground beef) which was pretty good as diner food. The waitress was pleasant. Maybe they are better with breakfasts and lunches.... read more

Such a quaint place for breakfast or lunch! Take the Grizzly challenge & get your picture on the wall. I ordered a hearty breakfast of the Chef's omelette with a side of seasoned potatoes. The food was super delicious and reminded me of breakfast at my great grandmothers place. This place is definitely not glamorous at all, and reminded me of a 1970's Golden Girl Episode. The coffee pot broke while I was there and the whole restaurant seemed to have a collective "whaaaaaat?!" after the news broke. It would have been nice for a restaurant of this size to have 2 industrial coffee pots just in case one breaks. The bottom line for this review is that the food is great & will definitely fill you up for a reasonable price. Check it out if you're in the area! read more

MEAT BREAKFAST! Being allergic to eggs makes finding a meal at breakfast pretty tricky sometimes. Most of the time I order a la carte and piece together a perfect combo. Rose's Cafe has the meat breakfast! Problem solved, even though Rose always asks, "How you want yo egg?!". Other than my plate with piles of bacon, hash browns and toast, there are giant pancakes and all kinds of delicious, greasy-spoon type food. This is the best breakfast in the Denali area and it's always full of a weird array of locals and employees who haven't gone to bed yet. read more

Rose's quenches your need for basic brunch like nobody's business. No frills cafe with a diner feel. It's pricey but it's Alaska and you won't leave hungry. The house made sausage patties were tasty. I was hoping they had reindeer but I believe it was just pork. I loved their house made salsa which was great on the crispy hash browns. They also had a variety of Tabasco sauces including the diner elusive chipotle. Thanks Rose! read more

Great burger and pancakes. Great family run restaurant. Very nice owner and we had a great experience.

This is a great little diner to get in your caloric intake before your long day ahead. We had a breakfast sandwich with bacon on sourdough. The sourdough bread is ginormous and quite tasty. We also got the biscuits and gravy which was also very hearty and tasty. Their homemade salsa was delish. Homemade is the best. It had a little bit of a kick to it which was perfect for me (granted I love a little spice). We weren't expecting too much for a little diner in the middle of nowhere but we were quite surprised and enjoyed our breakfast. It made off to a great day. read more

Great breakfast place if you're staying in the Healy area. Like most restaurants in Alaska, it's nothing fancy, but the service was fast and friendly, the food was tasty and the portions were generous. read more

Going five stars. Thick chewy amazing pancakes. Fluffy most omelettes. Great coffee. I infer that the other menu choices are just as good. And, one of our least expensive meals in a place where everything is $$$$. read more

Looks iffy from the outside but everything was a-ok on the inside. Had a great grilled cheese and ham and why not a shake too! Went down great. Onion rings were awesome...they really know how to fry here. Wait staff was friendly too, and it made for great people watching. This is like your favorite diner in your own home town. Try it, you'll not be disappointed. read more

Great family owned cafe. We came in 30 minutes before close and they were extremely gracious and cheery. The food is all homemade and delicious. I had the grilled chicken salad, my wife had the tuna melt, my daughters had the grilled chicken sandwich, chicken fingers, and biscuits and gravy. We were all extremely satisfied. We were disappointed that we had not saved room for dessert, because there was a variety of homemade pies,but that will give us an excuse to come back tomorrow. read more
