I always come in, and bridget is simply delightful.. you usually see the same faces, get to know everyone and say hello.. I MISS THE $10 PLAY THOUGH. I get texts for $5 that's nice. pizza is decent for $5 I wouldn't stop in just to eat but ok comparable to chuck e cheese or maybe a step down from there and little ceasars, but it's perfect cheap snack while on the slots

Hidden gem on the chain! Green pepper and onion and sausage pizza. Taste like a home made pizza. Full sized green peppers and onions with chunky sausage. I am a pizza snob and this exceeded my expectations. I will be trying more on the menu when we return on the boat!

Everything we had was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend the bruschetta, pizza and Chicken Parmesan! I can't wait to go back and try other things on their menu!

Avoid this place, the service was horrible, the food was below average and the owner has a don't care attitude.

Excellent pizza....the best crust! We also enjoyed the caprese salad. The service was good, and the owner stopped by our table to introduce herself.

Went for half price pizza on thursday, a big mistake. Took over an hour and a half to produce 4 seperate pizzas. They use the same sauce as is on any pasta dish on the menu, very bland. Got an excuse from the waitress and mgr but no compensation for our inconvienence. I would nor could not recommend this place to anyone!

So we have seen the sign on Grass Lake road many times but decided to try Rosie's by boat. Easy to find and nice quiet docks. Upon entering we were greeted and seated quickly by Maria with a nice chat about family heritage. She also got us our drinks promptly. The place is rustic, nice and clean. It was about 2pm on a Saturday and it was not busy except for a table of 10 or so. Our waiter came to take our order promptly. Then that's when time stood still....we ordered the baked clams and the fried ravioli as an appetizer, both were good but took awfully long. We waited for nearly 30 minutes more with dirty plates in front of us for an eggplant sandwich that I had to waive at Maria to get for us. Ok, table of 10, 1 server but really. Great little place, the problem that it took almost an hour to get our food. Hey we only had a sandwich! There's a disclaimer on the menu that says "during peak times the wait for food will be longer". OMG I'm afraid to know what it would be during "peak times". As said in other reviews, bottom line is, " be prepared to wait a while." I would be afraid to recommend Rosie's due to the service, but hope they do well. Just get it together!

Had the cheese ravioli You really cant do much wrong with ravioli but the sause (ketchup gravy) was nothing short of bottle ragu Service was good but Ill leave italian food for homecooking only

I was excited to try this restaurant. You can't beat eating Italian food by the lake or should I say the bog. The menu looks great- pretty much something for everyone, pizza, pasta, burgers, and sandwiches. I tried the Chicago Boss... Italian bread toasted with salami, prosciutto, Copacola, provolone, tomatoes lettuce and Italian dressing. I opted to NOT include the lettuce. I feel it's a waste. That's my opinion. I asked for onion rings instead of fries. My husband ordered the Italian Beef (it came out lack luster. Cold on the top, hot on the bottom and dry as the desert) and my son ordered the meatball sub. I would say if you're looking for sandwiches that are hearty, these are it. They put plenty of meat on them. The onion rings are a different story. They were so greasy. All in all, the food is fine. I feel I made a mistake and should've ordered pizza. The people next to us ordered that and it looked delicious . We also tried the Bruschetta and Canoli. Both were outstanding in my book. The problem I have with this place is that it took an hour to get our food. For crying out loud , we only had sandwiches. FYI there's a disclaimer on the menu that says "during peak times the wait for food will be longer". I went on a Sunday night at 7pm. I'm afraid to know what it would be during "peak times". Honestly, I didn't feel there was an overwhelming amount of people there either. Bottom line is be prepared to wait a while no matter what you order and get average food in the process.
