I did not update my review several years ago because I was disappointed I am happy to say on this trip - the food was good French fries are plentiful in an order and you can split them - they are $9 which is pricey in my book for ordinary fries that did not transport well - onion rings were tastier and fared much better during the travel time My clam roll was tasty, not greasy bellies a decent size on a nice hot dog roll I also got a hot dog which was delicious We were going to do doordash but the increase in price was ridiculous - not Rosewoods fault . We called in and picked it up ourselves . I was dismayed though when I looked at the receipt - they are charging either 2 or 3.5 percent takeout fee - this frosts my buttons. The packaging on the food items was minimal- would have been the same I'm sure if we dined with n - so we were charged for putting it in a paper bag and being handed through a window? Much less work than if all of us ate there - you would have had to clear and wipe tables I'm curious if there is a done in fee as well - based on the fee I would consider not going here - we did a rather large order for 6 people and the fees add up read more

Keeping the "Summer of Sweets" idea going while we traveled, we decided to stop and get some ice cream after dinner...because calories don't count when you're traveling, right? It was my first time visiting this spot, with an interior restaurant, and a walk up ice cream window. They offer a good variety of ice cream flavors, and have a nice outdoor area to enjoy your ice cream. The window attendant was friendly and quick to answer a few questions we had about some oddly named flavors. I got a cup of the "salted caramel chocolate pretzel", which was delicious! Incredibly creamy with lots of big chunks of chocolate covered pretzels mixed in. We enjoyed our visit, enjoyed the tasty ice cream and would definitely go back! read more

I ordered the Haddock plate with onion rings and French fries. The haddock was fried lightly and batter fell off the fish. Service was good. Too bad the food wasn't. It used to be so good. read more

Great ice cream , seafood is slowly going downhill year after year with the exception of the seafood chowder.Many coworkers used to go there at least once a week and now nobody goes.I stood behind an elderly lady and witnessed owners son be so disrespectful that it turned my stomach.I was going to step in, but bad things happen quick so i didn't.The rest of the staff is super nice and always help right away. read more

Best ice cream in the area! Love the dirty water flavor. Service is good. Only negative is that they aren't open year round :)

The food is passable but they need to do something about the bathroom it reeks, it's disgusting.

The food was great and the staff were lovely. The ambiance leaves a lot to be desired-though I don't think there's much the restaurant can do about it. The parking lot was packed and I was nervous there might be a fender bender pulling out because there were so many cars pulling in/out simultaneously, people wandering out distractedly with their children, etc. I had to walk through the deep ice cream lines to even access the restaurant. I paid $29 for a lobster roll and I think it was $3.50 for a small soda. The feel inside is much more that of a fast food-style restaurant. You order at the counter and bus your table yourself. The way the menu is positioned on the wall, if it's your first time there and need to read it, you are hovering right in front of others' tables while they're eating and also blocking the door's entrance. I ended up seated next to two tables with young children in the back because the place serves ice cream and clientele is understandably family-friendly. I've given four stars to Rosewood because-now that I understand what it is-I think it's great for what it is. At the same time, I don't see myself returning unless it's at a time of day when there are about a fifth as many people as there were tonight. If you're not going to make it to the Cape this year, this is a great way to get a taste of the roadside clam places, locally. read more

Amazing Crab Meat rolls. A must have! Great Ice Cream. Been coming here for years and always been very happy. Come during tweener times so it's not too busy. Lunch and dinner can be very busy. read more

Rosewood Restaurant - Chocolate Sundae - Seafood Near Me - Bellingham, Massachusetts

Clam plate is mostly French fries with very few whole belly clams. Very disappointing

That is my favorite restaurant, I usually buy ice cream all days. So, foods are okay and good. But I really love ice cream!

Not worth the money. Spent $$ on fried platter and nothing has flavor. Seafood is OKAY, honestly enjoyed the hot dog and root beer float more. The batter just isn't it for me, not a place I'd go out of the way for or crave. read more

Avery M, it is Good Friday and this is a seafood restaurant! You should have known you are going to wait! You should know you are going to wait when you order on door dash! Here is an idea, next time you want food pick it up yourself! This staff works hard to get many order out the door. I love this place and the food has always been delicious! read more

Took an adventure and we drove down to Bellingham to check out this plate. I ate the chicken tender plate and a hot dog, and the monster cookie ice cream. Chicken tender and hot dog were good, reminds me the summer is officially here! Got the ice cream and that was yummy! My husband ordered coleslaw and a tuna sandwich, it was fine with him but not memorable. Not pictured was the lobster roll, my husband was disappointed with the portion. It was on a hot dog bun with very little lobster meat, literally ate it in one bite. Expensive for the small portion. Other than that, it was fine. read more

Rosewood Restaurant - Cole Slaw Chicken Tender Plate Hot Dog Tuna Sandwich Lemonade - Seafood Near Me - Bellingham, Massachusetts

Consistently bad! We had take out on 2 separate occasions . The 1st time I had the lobster roll which was flavorless, on cheap hotdog bread and with shells on multiple bites. It came with a lays bag of chips got $29.... The second time we had the sea food platter that came with a heap load of soggy fries and soggy onion rings. The sea food was flavorless and very the fish was incredibly dry. For $42, Not worth it. The service as okay, the girls working seemed nice. read more

Love the ice cream here that we get it weekly! Also love their scallops and fried shrimp! Wish they stayed open until end of September!

Fried Seafood and rings at their best. Classic vibe. The girls serving were wonderfully kind. The menu has everything Seafood and Ice Cream. We wanted to eat more than we needed. "I noticed the car and horses" kid said when asked if he wanted to eat ice cream in the parkland, a fenced in picnic area.The carousel from the 1970's is best bargain in town. "Can we come here again?" Kid said, obviously rhetorical read more

Had a great lunch here. We got the crab cakes ($8.50 for two) and fried clam/fried shrimp combo plate that comes with onion rings and fries ($32.50). The onion rings are lightly battered and thin - best kind of onion rings! The fried seafood was tasty - we liked the shrimp better than the clams surprisingly. They also have a few non seafood options - club sandwiches, BLT, hot dogs, and tenders to name a few. There are SO many different ice cream flavors, so i will definitely be returning several times to get ice cream over the summer! They are only a seasonal place, so definitely worth checking out while they're open for the season. The inside is a bit small, but has about 12 tables and chairs if you do not want to eat outside (there are a few picnic tables) or do takeout. read more

Ordered food and ice cream. They forgot our ice cream when they gave us the order. When we got home and checked the bag of food, items were missing. We were the only people inside when ordering read more

I love this place , I even bought a sweatshirt. Everything is clean and fresh . And the ice cream is amazing !!

6:01 in the restaurant at 6:42 asked for back and it still took him 10 minutes to get our money back and they even put the food in order yet and don't order on DoorDash there was a problem with DoorDash orders read more

Have been back for thjs season and the food is so consistently good. My go to is the shrimp plate and have yet to be disappointed. In fact just thinking about it has me wishing for a shrimp plate today. I will say that all the staff were quite young and not as attentive as they needed to be, hopefully just a green group that will learn. read more

I have been searching for big belly clams. I found them!! Thank you for having fresh, big, whole belly clams. We got the plates with onion rings and fries. It was amazing and there was just so much food! read more

Rosewood Restaurant - Whole belly Clam Plate - Seafood Near Me - Bellingham, Massachusetts

My mother in law loves the lobster roll at Rosewood and my sister in law loves the hamburgers. Both are very simple sandwiches and fairly reasonably priced. On our last visit I ordered the BLT, I was a bit disappointed. The sandwich had lots of lettuce and tomato slices but only two paper-thin strips of bacon. Next time I'll order something else. read more

This was recommended to me for their fried clams. Mind you, these are New England style fried clams. With the bellies. So they're huge. In my opinion the only way to eat them. Rosewood doesn't disappoint! They have plates with fried clams, scallops, or fish accompanied by french fries and onion rings. I'm not an onion ring person so they let me get more fries instead. Order at the counter and then pick a seat. The decor is vaguely diner-ish, air conditioned, and clean. Now to the clams. They're properly large, they weren't super greasy, the oil tasted fresh (this was also towards the end of the day so a good sign that they keep their fryers clean), and were piping hot. As a plus, you get served on a tray with wax paper (this is another New England thing) although on a styrofoam plate. Exactly what I was hoping for. They also serve ice cream (order at the windows outside). They had large lines when I went so they are popular. I was stuffed after the clams and fries so didn't try the ice cream this time. I'll be back to give it a try. Finally, they do take cards, **however** they can't put tips through on them. So bring some cash (they do have an ATM also) so you can tip the staff for the great work they do. read more

Everything! food was great would go back even if I had to drive a long way service was fine. Would definitely return.

I wish they were open year round!! The tuna melt is amazing. It is the only place I even get tuna melts from and I look forward to it every year! They are a summer establishment and they have an ice cream window, the ice cream is great too. I usually call and order for pickup. Highly recommend! read more

I grew up eating at this restaurant. all I can say is the food is great as well as the ice cream. But as for ever the cost is high but you can share the plates because one is enough for two people. read more

Food always good. Looooooong wait time takeout ordered & we waited over an hour for food.

An amazing Restaurant through and through. Wonderful service during the lockdowns and even better now that the dining room is open. The only thing that Rosewood needs is a pre-pay mobile order app. In addition to great food, Rosewood has amazing management and incredible employees. (Except one named Lisa, they should release her.) 10/10 Stars! read more

I've been going to Rosewood for decades. Usually my wife and I get Haddock in some shape or form. I had the Haddock dinner a few weeks back and was totally disappointed. I have long been told that if the batter easily falls off your haddock, the fish was previously frozen. Not charging that my fish was not fresh but by the time I got the meal home, (2 miles away) the coating on the fish was not on the fish. Fries and onion rings were luke warm at best. My wife and I each had Haddock plates this evening. Ya I went back because I gave them the reasonable doubt and thought my last meal at Rosewood as described above was a fluke. Well it wasn't a fluke. More like the start of a trend. The batter was falling off both meals, I asked for my FFP to be well done but they were limp like on my wife's dinner. The onion rings were luke warm. My meal and my wifes tasted lie they were steamed not fried. The steam just kills the crispiness in their Styrofoam containers. Smart food takeout places vent the top of the container to let the steam out. You would think that was as bad as a haddock dinner could be but you would be wrong. The worse thing about these lousy haddock dinners was the price. $45.00 for two haddock dinners. And the portions were not very large. Not nearly as large as I remember from previous years. read more

Went here the other day for my son's birthday. He and my wife shared a $41 dollar clam and scallop platter. It would've been $35 but they charge $3 extra for clam and $3 for scallops. Big pile of onion rings and French fries. About 6 scallops and maybe a dozen clams. The fries and onion rings were hot but the seafood was lukewarm. Standard frozen fries. Not seasoned in any way. Don't get me wrong , The seafood was ok tasting. Just bland and for the price, not much of it. I ordered a chicken tender platter and again: big pile of frozen fries. Not seasoned at all. Not even salt. The 4 tenders were those flat Tyson frozen chicken fingers. Just like they come out of the package. No seasoning. 16 bucks. Pretty uninspired. They asked if I wanted any sauces with my chicken and I asked for Buffalo and BBQ sauce. I got a little plastic tub of generic BBQ sauce and I got a big cup of Franks red Hot for which I was charged an extra $1.30 (which I would've passed on if they had mentioned the price). Ok the food was wholesome enough but way too much money for what you got. Bland and generic. I also was irritated by the extra charges. We will not be rushing back. I will also say the Service was courteous and friendly and the place is spotless and they have a lovely outdoor eating area. read more

I used to enjoy coming here during the summer months for seafood and ice cream. I decided to treat my family to dinner here last night. I ordered the whole belly clam plate for myself. I had been looking forward to fried clams for months! I was super disappointed. The clams were not very big and didn't have any flavor. Maybe I am remembering wrong, but this place used to kill it with their clams. Waste of $28 for one plate. Do yourself a favor and purchase your seafood elsewhere. read more

Amazing fried seafood. Some of these other reviews are laughable. The people are either cheap or never ate fried seafood in their life. Thai place is super consistent, fast and professional. Amazing family run business with well trained and ultra polite staff. read more

I ordered the Haddock plate with onion rings and French fries. The haddock was fried and didn't taste or smell fresh. I couldn't eat it. Next time, I'll order ice cream only. The service at the window was good. Too bad the food wasn't. It used to be so good.I recommend the ice cream. read more

The ice cream is awesome. Great selection of flavors. Very popular spot. Food is good also, but normally I go for the ice cream.

We have live in Bellingham for 14 years and have just tried Rosewood after so many rave reviews. I don't know how so many got this so wrong. We ordered a scallop plate, a chili cheese dog, a frappe and sherbet cooler. Our meals were ready rather quickly. The hot dog was long and skinny, not how I like them ;-). I got exactly 9 scallops with a huge mound of onion rings and french fries. The scallops were okay, coating doesn't stick and I added salt and lemon to them. The portion of the o-rings and fries we large but they were largely flavorless. I ate maybe four rings and 6 fries, not worth the effort to eat flavorless fillers. Our drink order was called and then the server said ohh wait that's not yours and took the drink from my spouses hand. I'm disappointed in the lackluster meal. We won't be back, I'd drive to Dennis MA next time I want fried scallops and go to Captain Frostys. read more

Cheeseburger and hot dog tasted fine, but what restaurant in their right mind charges $0.30 for condiments on a hamburger or a hot dog? $0.30 for mustard, $0.30 for relish, $0.30 for mayonnaise. What's next extra charges for buns and napkins? read more

Great seafood platters, inside dining not the most eye friendly, but, food and services compensate

This is one of my favorite places to get seafood in MA. My partner brought me here for the first time last month and we shared a seafood platter and ice cream. This visit I opted for a butter lobster roll (served with potato chips) and have no regrets. The roll was served with a generous helping of hot lobster with melted butter on a toasted bun, and satisfied my long craving for a lobster roll. Meanwhile I sampled my partner's seafood chowder-- perfect for the sudden temperature drop this weekend! Can't wait to come back :) read more
