Food was good and portions were large and priced nicely. Service was extremely slow although there looked to only be one up front worker present. An overly strick no substitution policy which seems odd for a diner. The worst part was the ultra biased political tv channel they had playing which made the place very uncomfortable.

Right wing propaganda central...similar experience to other reviewers - NewsMax blaring on the tv, asked politely if they could turn it off, or at least down. The server refused "no, we leave it on", "no, we don't turn it down". We left.
I went there today, a Sunday*, and I truly enjoyed the food and the service, and I have to add an angle to my perspective, that I would have not had to add to my review, had I been writing this fifteen years ago. That now, I like a place like Rocco's for what it is not and doesn't have. What it has is normal food. Seeing the negative reviews, my curiosity was piqued to see just what type of diner the people who did not like Rosco's DID like, and the answer did not surprise me. It was like playing a guess the stereotype game: a lot of them gushed on other diner's yelp pages about them having vegan donuts and gluten free this or that. Oh brother. So if you are looking for the hip, trendy, "healthy" reinterpretation of comfort food, by all means, go elsewhere. But those of us actually looking for simple old fashioned food, go here and you will find exactly that. * on a Sunday, you can get only breakfast food. You have to make time on a weekday to try out their lunch, and Greek foods.

DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS. Mediocrity doesn't even begin to describe this sad, sack of doo-doo, small business. Charging $1.50 for an ice water, from the tap. I'm guessing they have to charge for the water because they can't keep the business afloat and are desperately scrambling for profit. The fruit cup was so old and inedible, the grapes looked like green olives, and the cherries looked like they were pulled from last year's fruit cake and repurposed (not joking). We didn't entertain eating the old fruit and instead sent it back after letting the server know it wasn't good quality. We were still charged for the poop cup. Sorry, fruit* cup. The ambiance is extremely awkward and uninviting; no music, political news channel on the only tv, watching the severs text on their phones and chew with their mouths open. After reading some of the other reviews I'm actually disappointed in myself for spending any money and slightly supporting this business. I will not be making this mistake again and I urge you to go elsewhere. Also, if you work in the restaurant industry and value your position and you decide to try this place, be warned that the service and everything else at Roscoe's will make you cringe.

Fantastic local diner. Great options for breakfast, brunch, and lunch. Some surprising menu options as well, including traditional Greek dishes and quite possibly the World's largest version of a Boott Mill sandwich (might be a 4 egg omelette!). Our server, Kat, was very friendly and attentive to our party's special needs. The food was very good and well portioned. A great place to stop if you're visiting the area!Parking: Common lot for the area and on-street parkingWheelchair accessibility: The area is wheelchair friendly, but there are two kind of awkward steps into the premises.

The food and service at Rosco's are both top notch. The pancakes especially are delicious. I unfortunately had to take a star off for atmosphere due to the loud political programming that's always playing on the TV whenever I've been in. Regardless of political affiliation, that's just not what I want to listen to while I'm eating breakfast.

Couldn’t even get someone to tell me where to sit or a menu to look at. Stood and waited in the dining room for 15 minutes without a person in sight. Wanted to try a new place but too bad.

They charge 1.50 for ice water. Food isn't good enough to justify this oddity.

Food and service was pretty good, but being forced to listen to far-right propaganda blaring on the TV ruined the experience. Will not be going back.
Eggs and English were great. Steak was tough. Server was friendly and attentive.
