Solid place for food in Bayville area!…read more Heard about this place on social media. Stopped by on an afternoon to try their enormous mozzarella sticks. They did not disappoint! Normally when a food item is made big, the taste suffers. However I can say these ones were great. The breading was great, the marinara sauce was good and the cheese itself was solid. Honestly worth the price and I wasn't hungry for the rest of the day. The restaurant itself was very clean and service was friendly. They had other things like shakes and burgers and I would love to come back to try them!

You feel like you are walking into a family establishment Cookie and Gina are the best at what they do. They make you feel welcome from minute 1. Then there is the service. Sean and Tracy are amazing--very attentive to all your needs and always kind. Next is the food -- I haven't had anything that I didn't like yet and I am in this establishment A LOT. And the drinks are an equal match. Between the chef and the bartenders this place is a must! For the dessert--you must try the Pignioli cake and the TiraMisu made by a local artisan--honestly the best dessert I think I have had in my life. Trust me when I tell you - you get what you pay for and Rosie's delivers on all fronts. Thanks Rosie's! Heather and Family

I don't know how old the restaurant is, but I believe it's relatively new as it looks very clean, modern, has very high ceilings and a modern rustic type of feel. There are steel beams in the ceiling to the floor. The flooring is a warm laminate wood. They have booths, tables and a nice bar area. The dining room also has windows with natural lighting and also lights that come down to each table. We are greeted by our waiter and sat, he was friendly and attentive. The only thing that was odd, he didn't check to see if our main courses came ok. But overall, we really liked this restaurant. They have a very eclectic menu. We shared the Bavarian pretzel, the mustard and the beer cheese were excellent. I had the Tuscanwich with breaded eggplant. It also comes with broccoli rabe, roasted red peppers and house made mozzarella on Joe Leone's bread. It was awesome. It also comes with housemaid potato chips, which were excellent. My wife had the Smashburger with sweet potato fries. She said it was amazing. I had a Franzeskonner beer, which is very hard to find so I was very happy about that. My wife had a winter tequila cocktail, which looked beautiful and also tasted great. We passed on dessert, but we will definitely be back. They also have other really great entrées. They have a really good wine list and many awesome cocktails.

I was too tired to go in & eat but I made myself pull into bc I was too hungry for another bowl of cereal for dinner. I didn't realize until I was brought my order that it was closing time but when I asked for my dinner to be boxed so I could eat it at home so they could close up, they wouldn't have it, they told me not to worry about the time, but to please sit and enjoy my meal. I'll be honest..this southern girl didn't expect this type of hospitality in NJ but I was pleasantly surprised & gracious for it. From that meal forward they were my go to diner. I didn't have anything that I didn't like. The seafood Alfredo was one of my favorites! And on my last day at the hospital, I asked the owner to cater breakfast for my coworkers as a way of me thanking them for being so welcoming & he went above & beyond with the variety of food & the amount of food he delivered far exceeded what I paid for! All the staff loved the pancakes, sausage, French toast, bacon, bagels, fresh fruit, etc. There was enough for 3 different units to eat! This diner truly went above & beyond on making this out of towner feel at home. Thank you Band Wagon Diner for your delicious food, awesome hospitality & keeping this tired nurse fed!!

Best to check online menus for lunch and dinner as well as days open. The Italian hot dog was blistering crisp with sautéed peppers and onions and fried potatoes scooped onto their HOMEMADE FRESH BAKED ITALIAN BREAD.
