Went there for breakfast very good atmosphere friendly staff. My only real complaint was is that there wasn’t much seasoning on the food had to salt and pepper pretty much everything. But the biscuits tasted homemade and the gravy and the pancake was amazing and huge for four bucks. We’ll definitely be back.

Rosie's is an institution in Ozark. Food is always good. Serving staff is fine but 3 stars as sometimes food delivery is slow. For just a few bucks more than the fast food joints down the street, you can enjoy a real sit-down meal here.

This is the 4th time I have been here. And after our visit today, sadly we will not be back. If it was one or two issues, we could overlook them, but it was so that and a health and safety concern. I do understand it is the holidays and they are busy. So service suffered. Not very friendly staff from any of the staff we encountered. We had to wait a while to get service at our table. We went to get our own menus due to no service. We will survive. Service unimpressive. Eggs came out hard for basted medium. Never asked how food was. We will survive. My husband watched a man sitting at a table at the end of the restaurant for probably half an hour during our time there. A staff member came to that table to wrap silverware. They were touching the eating end of the silverware. Hopefully the

If you’re looking for a meal that feels like it came straight from Grandma’s kitchen, Rosie Jo’s is the place to go. Their fried chicken is legendary—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and clearly made to order. I highly recommend the fried mushrooms and the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes. We also love the potato skins. And if you love chicken livers… you’ll be in awe of Rosie’s crispy taste on a southern favorite. The portions here are huge, the prices are incredibly fair, and the staff makes you feel like family the moment you walk in. Don't leave without trying a slice of their homemade pie (the coconut cream is a game-changer!) and they serve a scoop of ice cream for every costumer. It’s a local gem for a reason. Check it out!

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Heather White · Jul 2025

This cafe, located in a strip mall, is an odd one. Upon entry, we noticed several dirty tables and had trouble finding a clean place to sit. The waitress approached us several minutes later, and was short, wanting us to immediately order. Because we’d never been there and hadn’t had time to look over the menu, we obviously felt rushed. I guess that it was good that she showed up then, because she never really returned. At one point, I saw an older man enter the kitchen area, and I heard a waitress ask him where he was sitting. She told him to go sit down and she would bring him some pie. Later, we observed the same man busing a table for two older ladies. From what we could see, he was a customer and not even an employee there. I saw him return the rag that he used to the waitress station.
