Rosie's Restaurant and Bakery - Gander

The food and service is awesome. they have the best Cold Plate you will ever eat, it's spectacular. The chocolate cake, shortbread cookies....oh my, delightful!

We arrived at 530 pm and were immediately seated. Our server gave us each water, then took our orders, which arrived about 15 mins after we ordered. Very good seafood platter, not all deep-fried items for a change. The Jigg's Dinner on a Thursday was lovely, as well, and included dessert. Excellent value for the price, and down-homey atmosphere with kind and friendly staff. The baked goods in the lobby were irrestistable, even though we were so full from dinner. We brought a few items to be enjoyed along our trip.

This is one large, open dining room with no dividers, etc. between tables. It can be noisy but the service is good and rather quick. The menu is varied and prices are average. However, it is the bakery that catches your eye as you enter the restaurant! You will definitely be taking something home with you - and it is so good!

The food is awesome. There were 4 of us and the meals eaten were liver and onions, roast beef dinner, pan fried cod and a jumbo hot dog. The portions were large. The fries were way to many but were sooooo good as they were home made. We were upset as there were no "moose farts" left. They are a baked good but we are not sure exactly what they are, must be good though as they were sold out. It was busy so it took a while but was worth the wait.

I chose this spot for our family based on reviews suggesting good value after breaking the bank at St. John's restaurants. The food was very good - like home cooking as reviews say. Menu prices were good but I was shocked at checkout that we were charged for Parmesan cheese that my husband asked for, for his spaghetti & meatballs, and for some extra gravy I asked for toward the end of my turkey dinner - I needed a little extra for my remaining food. In the end we didn't pay much less than we did in St. John's.
