    A bagel with cream cheese.

    Two sesame bagels with cream cheese toasted. I recieve a sesame bagel not toasted with barely any cream cheese on it. I mean either they are extremely petty with providing good food or they are incompetent. AVOID should change the name to Rosko's Scam Bagels

    Strawberry waffles with Fresh banana
    SuzAnne S.

    I absolutely love trying new places for breakfast and this little gem fit the bill. Mini-Me and I didn't want diner food or o go to iHop, we both wanted something different but easy on our wallets. Mini-Me wanted chicken and waffles, I am thinking whatttt? we are not in LA Cali anymore Missy (cuz ya kno' Roscoe's is the BE ALL END ALL). But this Rosko's small parking lot was packed! this place was hoppin' and business was brisk! from call in ahead orders- walk in take out- to orders for eating in. I was impressed, for such a small joint to have such a expanded menu but specific on dishes, something for everyone and reasonable on the wallet, I was in. The girls behind the counter were hustling the orders, smiling, helping new customers decide and the coffee brewed was so delicious, not sure if it because it was cold out, so early in the morning or just a great blend, but it was well appreciated. We also ordered the strawberry waffle with fresh bananas as well as blueberry waffles, fluffy, hot, crisp outside but so soft and perfect inside, just a little maple syrup to compliment the dishes, each was a bite of hearty happy goodness. Now, it is is Roscoe's LA Cali? no, it isn't and anyplace outside of the Manchester Blvd location would be a recipe hard pressed to impress. But does this breakfast/lunch spot give me the opportunity to enjoy a delicious breakfast with my Mini-Me to chat it up, laugh, and just enjoy the beginning of beautiful new day, yes it does and that's all that really matters, right? right! good food, tasty dishes a staff of employees that care, I really will be back for more breakfasts and of course chicken and waffles that fit the bill when you want something different. Rosko's its not huge at all, seating is an "L" section of tables against the front window area so sharing space is appreciated, there are a couple of 2 person seating outside as well and that's where Mini-Me and I sat to enjoy our Sunday breakfast.

    If you're doing anything special to your order, call it in or order in person.

    I just turned in my stamp card for a free hot sandwich so it's about time I write this. My fiancé and I have been ordering from here if not every week then every other week. (And all I turned in was one card?? Lol. I'm new in town and we didn't know about the card until a month ago.) My guy is simple. Anything with bacon. One of his favorites is The Belly Buster on a plain bagel. I, on the other hand, have been hooked on the ham and cheddar in a spinach wrap with lettuce, onions, tomatoes and mayo with a side of coleslaw. I'd eat half a wrap for breakfast and the other half for lunch. Service has been excellent, especially the back-of-the-house team. I, unfortunately, had to witness a mom chew out one of the guys in back over her bagel not being toasted. It's Mother's Day and you're going to embarrass your husband and daughter by throwing a tantrum over an untoasted bagel? I'm sorry you're that miserable. The guy even came out to apologize. I applaud you, Sir. Keep up the awesome hospitality. Your team rocks.

    Bagel with Jalapeno Cream Cheese

    The jalapeño bagel is so yummy and rich the service is also great and quick! And their prices are really good compared to other places around

    EGG & CHEESE IN EVERYTHING CROISSANT
    Anna L.

    Ever had an everything CROISSANT???!! OR A LOW CARB WEIGHT WATCHER BAGEL??? Didn't even know they'd ever exist till I came across Rosko's. BOGGLED MY MIND!! *stoked* and they're freaking delish, you MUST try em!!! Even their regular menu is delish! Usually get their spinach wrap avocado eggs - yumm, brightens the morning every time! The owner is always so so nice too!!!

    Avocado scrambler

    Came in for a late breakfast. Excellent avocado scrambler ( 10/10 will order again, did not expect it to be so good) and strawberry cream cheese on a blueberry bagel. My husband said his plain bagel and cream cheese were also great. They were pretty busy but got us our food in a timely manner. The staff is younger and really nice and the manager was very appreciative of them dealing with a difficult customer while we were here which was good to see. We are new to town and will definitely be regulars here :)

    I can't believe I waited so long to come back to Harvest. What was I thinking ?…read more We went out for lunch to celebrate my friend's birthday and Harvest turned out to be a great choice! The location is a little further than we would normally travel, but it was worth it. I loved all the farm to table foods they have. They even nicely promote all the partners they use right on the wall of the restaurant, so you know where all your food comes from. Everyone loved their meals! I had the Thai chicken sandwich and it was so flavorful and delicious. It came with a side and I picked baked sweet potato wedges that were really good and so memorable that a week later I am still thinking about them. Other dishes ordered were the chicken salad and strawberry salad which my friends both enjoyed. Our server was very good and didn't rush us as we were just chatting up a storm. The restaurant suggests reservations which are a good idea, especially for dinner. I will definitely be back and can't wait to put Harvest on my restaurant rotation. Sorry no photos this time... the food was just so good and we were hungry!

    YES I am giving 5-stars because it was worth every penny spent…read more I had decided late Saturday night I wanted to go to brunch, but I didn't want to travel far and I didn't want to spend a fortune on items I didn't want to eat, I wanted a simply, tasty brunch/breakfast. So "Our House" !! Close to home, Mini-Me goes there for karaoke night and she enjoys the food there. Came here last Sunday 2/1/26 - Saturday night I made the reservations online- and Sunday we went on over- we found parking up front, even with the snow piled a mile high. Omelet station was doing a brisk business and although I am not much of an omelet person, I ordered mine, and let me say--theirs is really good! I also went up twice for the roast beef- the nice thing is, they don't cook a huge roast, it's medium size and seasoned and cooked perfectly, not a lot of fat, but the seasoning was fantastic. Chicken with lemon sauce, the pork in a really nice sauce, the house potatoes (really liked these- peel and eat shrimp were large and plentiful. Salads, sausage and bacon, sausage and peppers, and the desserts were so tasty. But lets talk about the waffles here- Belgium waffles , thick, fluffy and I absolutely enjoyed them, in fact I had two- I KNOW!! it was carbs, but who is counting carbs when it comes to a Sunday brunch?! I usually like Bloody Mary's at "Brunch Time", but this time, it was the mimosas calling my name- cool and refreshing and a perfect ratio of OJ and Prosecco. Mini-Me ordered a large apple juice to go with her mimosa's, lol. Coffee was hot and our cups were never empty. Serving staff was working hard, clearing tables keeping the patrons coffee cups filled and even taking orders for the bar service, I am not sure if patrons ordered from the regular menu, but it was busy!!! I have to say, there is something to be said about both a huge buffet and a buffet that caters to the basics of a good brunch- they do not over extend the items, I think that is were some places go wrong. They do 1/2 pans for the buffet so everything is fresh, and replenished quickly, nothing sits for long or is empty. The gentleman working the omelet /carving station was so friendly and nice, I couldn't help but smile each time I went up for "2nds". Anyway for $19.99pp plus tax and tip, it is definitely a winner in my book and a once a month breakfast on my calendar. When I asked about the Thanksgiving Brunch from people I know- Our House was given high praises so, my husband said I don't have to cook this year, we are going to OUR HOUSE!!!! and I couldn't be happier!

    If you drive through the wooded forest and found yourself on the main street of Farmingdale, you…read morewill find a Mexican restaurant that is a small town staple. Website: 8/10 It was easy to navigate within the vibrantly colored site. It provides an abundance of information in terms of the business itself, the menu items, the table reservations, the interactive Google map section, and the mobile app QR code. I did come across typos, defunct images, and I admit I questioned the authenticity of the testimonials. Brand: 8/10 Taco House and Grill's brand has a standard orange, black, and white color scheme, giving off the vibrant Mexican aesthetic, along with the minimalist symbol of the taco-and-knife. The interior of the establishment manages to evoke a warm, cozy environment with its plants and its black painted tables keeping up with the color scheme. Concerning the logo, it was barely discernible on the website icon with so much detail on it. I could barely see it on the top bar of my screen. Ambiance: 10/10 The wood tables had enough space for six customers throughout the establishment, with a few outside on the porch. While we became the earliest customers with no one reserving a seat inside yet, I can still clearly see how the ambiance would not be disruptive. If it would get disruptive, I can see how reservations can be made either in front of the counter or outside. The establishment had plenty of space. Service: 10/10 We had no issues with the staff, since we managed to receive our orders with no problems. Wait Time: 10/10 Although we came a couple minutes early, we managed to walk inside and wait while reading the menu. Our orders also came on time. No interruptions occurred as we talked and as I wrote. Food: 10/10 I ordered the ham, egg, and cheese burrito with sides of tortilla chips, green salsa, and an orangeade. The breakfast burrito was one of the best breakfast plates I ever ate. It had a warmness both in taste and temperature, for every smooth and inviting taste complemented the soft yet sturdy burrito wrap. It was further complemented by the hot sauce and the poppy seeds, giving the wrap its warm, inviting flavor. Their site argued that their food has "an explosion of taste of culture"--and I could not agree more. Worth The Money?: 10/10 Aesthetics-wise, Taco House and Grill could improve, while substance-wise, it helped me restore faith in my community. The owners care about the well-cleaned establishment and its unique place in a small town. I love spicy food and Taco House and Grill definitely delivered well on its menu items. The establishment relies on locally sourced ingredients and authentic generational recipes, which I always support. Local businesses should always source locally, because the money circulates throughout the community; and authentic recipes sets this business apart from larger chains like Chipotle. In terms of metaphorical price, such a business model is priceless, and in physical price, I would say that the establishment itself is worth it. Pertaining to the website, the accolades such as its awards and 5-star reviews would help solidify its ethos if the site specified them or had links leading to the specific awards and reviews worth noting. I believe them when they say they locally source their ingredients, and I would like for them to list the local farms they source from. Rating: 5/5 Stars To say I have hope for Taco House and Grill would be an understatement. I give this establishment an excellent rating and hope that it will continue to exist in Farmingdale. Recommend To... Anyone who lives along the main street of Farmingdale who wants to try authentic Mexican food. Since I overheard the owners speak Spanish, I could also recommend this establishment to anyone trying to practice speaking Spanish. Due to the cozy interior, I would highly recommend catering Taco House and Grill during the autumn and winter seasons.
