Rosie's Bar & Grill

This place is great, and the food is amazing with nice portions. They have a very good Sunday brunch and I have no complaints on the food or drinks at all. The only downside to this place is the service was slow, even during less busy times from my experience. The Sunday brunch is fantastic, but be prepared to wait for a table and for service - understandably so, since this place is always packed during it. I definitely recommend planning it out and going here if you have the time on a Sunday. The whole menu is delicious though!

From the moment we walked into Rosie’s Bar & Grill, we knew we were in for something special. The atmosphere is electric yet warm—a perfect blend of vivacious energy and neighborhood charm, with lush outdoor seating under tropical lights that sets the mood just right. The staff greeted us with genuine smiles and attentive service, making every moment feel like a few steps above ordinary. Now, about the food: outstanding. The burgers are juicy and inventive, each bite memorable; the big salads are fresh, ample, and beautifully dressed; the specials, especially the fish and seafood, are flavors that stay with you. Portions are generous, and the value is excellent. Meanwhile, the drinks are fun, well‐made, and creative—Rosie’s knows how to do happy hour and brunch right. Whether for a casual date night, catching up with friends, or indulging in Sunday brunch, Rosie’s delivers on all fronts. Delicious food. Top-notch service. A vibrant, welcoming ambiance. We’ll absolutely be back—highly recommend to anyone looking for a local gem.

This is my favorite restaurant, I go every weekend, it just feels like home. There is always a fun friendly vibe, the staff is great. I've tried most of the menu, the food is delicious. 10/10

Joy. This place is pure joy. The staff, the ambiance and the food. I cannot stop thinking about that pumpkin cheesecake. Alisha was our server and could not have been more fabulous. You will not be disappointed.

Servers are always super accommodating, and the kitchen was happy to allow me a couple mods to my Gypsy Rosie Lee Wrap. My FTL buddy Kent had a club sandwich that he loved. Had the Rhoda BBQ burger my first trip and I can't stop coming back. Great drinks made the whole meal. Colorful, relaxed outdoor spot and need to go there every time I visit Wilton from PA.

We came all the way from Dallas, get here lookin for a place to eat, Rosie’s was recommended and let me tell y’all, did NOT disappoint! Audrey is FANTASTIC, the food is out of this world and the driiiiiinks, baby the DRINKS!!!!! 100/10 would definitely recommend! Something for everyone!

What a wonderful place! First time in Wilton Manors and this place was recommended by friends and didn’t disappoint. Wonderful service, plenty of food of good quality. Loved their fun cheeky drink names and the whole vibe of the place was excellent! Look forward to coming back. Super friendly! Great food!! Lovely staff and great value!

It's not Rosie's it's Fort Lauderdale and Wilton Manors specifically. EVERYONE was white, male and 50 plus, it's an unsettling atmosphere for me as was a recent visit to Casablanca on the beach. Although a gay mecca this is middle America and with it in this age group comes an embedded world view, these people are comfortable in Rosie's, I was not. Burger was great and service fun but would I return, no!

Second time coming to Rosie's in a year. Love this place. The food is so good and the drinks are even better! (Strong AF) They do their Buffalo Wings right. Always my go to at any place that has them on the menu. The smash burger is legit. If you know what Frishes is then it's the equivalent to a "Big Boy" but way better. Rosie's is a great place for lunch and drinks anytime.

Stop number 2 on our bar hopping adventure. We were pulled in by the special of the day. $10 mojito bucket ! Sat at the bar nothing crazy. Our bartender was a little bit of the cold shoulder type but we got awesome recommendations from one of the other servers in the bathroom lol ! She sent us on our way to the next location. Above and beyond service from her. This place has great daily specials and i would love to grab a bite here sometime! Maybe a Sunday for the $4 bloody mary's..... Fingers crossed!

Came here for a quick lunch with my friends. The restaurant is large, clean, with a laid-back atmosphere. They only offer valet parking but it is tip based. We ordered the nachos; they were HUGE and fed 4 people (including 3 men) and held me over for a few hours. I also had the lychee martini which was delicious.

Very popular bar & restaurant that is popular with the boys, day & night. I don't normally order turkey sandwiches, but the turkey is made fresh & carved inhouse & topped with cranberry spread. The Onion rings were large and crispy. So delicious, Service is friendly. Highly recommend on the Wilton drive.

Rosie's is the iconic restaurant on The Drive. You will not find a more festive atmosphere anywhere. The restaurant has the friendliest staff. The music is great. The decorations are well placed. It is not unusual to see servers dancing to a catchy tune. They have created a wonderful, fun environment. The food is very good and fresh. Great salads, wraps, burgers and sandwiches. The potato salad is the best on the drive. So is the chicken salad sandwich. On a recent visit for lunch, I ordered an item off the "specials" menu. It was a buffalo chicken salad. It came with fried or grilled chicken in a spicy buffalo sauce over greens with a buffalo ranch dressing. It was interesting to say the least. Very wonderful if you love buffalo sauce. I do! Until 7pm Happy Hour prices are half off. $3.50 house wines, etc. A huge rum bucket is only $8 and it supplies more than a day's worth of alcohol. Happy Hour is M-F. Half off a wine bottle on Wednesdays although their selection of wines could use an upgrade. Since COVID, the menu has been trimmed down. You won't find pasta or tuna fish at Rosie's. No Greek salad or a veggie wrap. No pork chops. With higher prices, I paid an extra $8 for salmon on a kale salad. It came to $26 (yikes!) but I have to admit the salmon filet was big and deliciously grilled. There is not a bad item on the menu. Many appetizers are only $14-15 and are meal-sized. The atmosphere here is truly the best. I love the place!

I am just going to start this review off by saying they are not pet friendly lol... It was 3 of us for lunch with my aunts little Chihuahua. We told the host "3 of us and a little pup" and she was even holding the pup so she was visible. We got sat outside, and everything was fine until (I think he was the manger?) came and said dogs aren't allowed to sit on your lap, and the dog barked and he said "ya, service dogs don't bark.." with a rude snicker. First of all, we never claimed she was a service dog nor did they ask. If they would have from the start we would say no... and leave. Anyway our waiter was nice and the food was pretty good. The atmosphere is fun and bright but it was just so uncomfortable because the dog was barking and we kept getting stares, this is not their fault at all but what made it awkward was how we could tell we were not wanted there and it could have been avoided if we were told from the get go that dogs weren't allowed. We were eventually told they can't have dogs barking so we left. We ended up going to another restaurant for dinner that night and the dog sat on her lap and didn't bark at all and had no problems. I'm sure this spot is fun but just know dogs are not welcomed, even outside.

Food was great, Service was fantastic and the vibe was just so much fun. This was my first time here but will definitely go back.

Food: fantastic! I've tried so many entrees on the menu and everyone of them has been great tasting, full of flavor, and just the right size (or bigger) for what you pay for. You're getting your money's worth. Service: even when packed right and lines are out the doors, service is always friendly, spot on, and great. Location and atmosphere: right down the street from our favorite gay bars! And you couldn't ask for better scenery! Such great tropical feel with so many planes and trees attempting to mask the street right on the other side - job well done. This isn't a fancy restaurant by any means, but it is one that you will right at home in with foods that will keep you coming back.

Food really good. Service with a joke and a smile. Colorful and exciting ambiance, good music. Highly recommend, will be back!:)

Had a terrible burger there today.Ordered medium rare came out more well done and dry.Fries were lukewarm and soggy.

We went here for a casual dinner as part of a birthday celebration and our server Audrey was so kind and awesome overall. She was quick, attentive, and very helpful in dealing with our larger group. The food was also really good! The atmosphere is also really inviting. I'll be back here every time I visit!

Rosie's is a great place. Been here several times the food is always good. Had the Rachel Rye and the turkey Lurkey. The Rachel was ok. Burger ordered medium came out well done. Still tastes good. The loaded potato salad was very good. The turkey lurkey was amazing. Highly recommend. Will definitely order again. Had the Ole Smokey, one of the best old fashions I've ever had. Sangria was just ok. Nothing special. Service was excellent as always. Waiter was very friendly and attentive. Checked on us multiple times. The ambiance is great. Sat outside. Had fans to keep us cool, Florida so very hot but fans kept us cool. Only issues weee a lot of flies but that isn't the restaurants fault. Not like they could keep them out. I need the fresh air and was a beautiful day. Will definitely keep coming back. Also had the raspberry white chocolate bread pudding. Was great. Glad we left room for it.

Great place to go if visiting the community and, as an out of towner, it appears the locals like it too. Our softball team was in town for an extra long weekend and this was a spot we hit up on more than one occasion. They have a large staff that makes it efficient to to be seated and not have to wait long for food and drinks. Every single employee we encountered was friendly and genuinely interested in ensuring we had a great time and nice experience.

We'd had dinner earlier in the evening, so this was really just supposed to be a drink with a friend who we'd just watched performing in a play, but we ended up getting a snack too... and then dessert! Rosie's is a neighborhood institution, cute as hell normally but lit up for Christmas it was even better, this is a special kind of place, one where the staff knows the customers by name, and the regulars know the menu enough to share the specials even before your server does! We started with cocktails and they were on point! Strong, tasty, and served quick! Our fried pickles were amazing. Hot, fresh, delicious, and served with a mustard sauce for dipping that beats ranch any day. The fish dip was good, but not great, a little too well processed so it was too... "soft" and not a great texture. Don't get me wrong, it was delicious but the texture was just a little mushy for me. The desserts made up for it though. White chocolate bread pudding was a huge serving of yummy goodness and the brownie went so fast I barely got one bite before it was gone. Well done Rosie's.

Such a good and happy place. Food and service is always great! I love how festive this place is, especially when it comes to the holidays. I always love coming here for lunch.

Went early Sunday afternoon. I had no idea they even served brunch! My partner and I had the Belgium waffle of the week, the very berry. It was drizzled in white chocolate and raspberry sauce with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries topped with whipped cream. Truly amazing!! Best waffle I've had in a long time. Service was amazing as well. We will be back as we are locals.

Came here with my ladies group for Sunday Brunch!!! The atmosphere is amazing- lots of colors. Great vibe!!! Music was pumping & was a bit loud for conversation but it added to mood. The service was especially good. The 2 servers were quick & we didn't have to ask for much- they took our orders, both food & drinks & we were able to enjoy!!! The food was really delicious!!! The menu is quite hilarious & will definitely come back for lunch soon to try more things. All in all- a very enjoyable time!!!

Amazing food. Friendly staff. Some of the best coconut shrimp and ranch dipping sauce

I tried Rosie's for the first time on a Saturday afternoon for lunch around 2pm. What really catches your eye are all of the bright colored lanterns hanging around the patio! The whole place is so bright and happy! Our party of 4 was seated quickly as the restaurant was about half full. For a starter, we ordered the fish dip, which was good. What I love about this place is the menu. There is something for everyone, without being too wide ranging, and the food was quality and yummy. I enjoyed naked buffalo tenders while others at the table had shrimp and burgers. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the delicious cocktails! We were able to modify our drinks for no simple syrup with no pushback from our server or the bartender. Our server was super friendly and accommodating, as we had a picky 13 year old with us. I'll definitely be coming back to Rosie's for the upbeat ambiance, big menu, and cocktails!

Staff is very friendly and helpful. Food is good bar food, nothing mind blowing but the food has always been consistent. Make a reservation on the weekend evenings as they can get busy!

Still great food and drinks. Went with the Ivanna Hooker burger with blue cheese, lettuce. Very good. Brandon our server took great care of us. Place was not as full as used to seeing but still would go back next trip.

I love this place!! The food was awesome, the drinks were strong, and the service was on point. The atmosphere is so welcoming. The music is excellent!! Special shout out to Hunter for his tasty recommendations and attentive service. Will be returning during my next trip :)

Rosie's has always been one of my favorite locations in Wilton Manors! A "must visit". Always has a great vibe, great food and great drinks! Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Bright, colorful décor. And you have to take notice of the names of dishes on the menu!! Lol They have valet parking, indoor & outdoor seating. Fun place!

Wonderful lunch at Rosie's! Everyone on their team was fantastic - our server, the valet, the hostess! And, the food was delicious - everyone in our group loved their food. So nice and relaxing sitting on the patio!

It appears the wait staff has taken over and is now free to raise a curled lip or serve you attitude in addition to serving you a cocktail.

This is was my favorite restaurant in South Florida. Every time someone came from out of town I made sure to bring them to Rosie's. Well I moved away for 3 years and just moved back and now I'm disappointed. The entire menu changed. They have a limited brunch menu. The fat Elvis is gone . The fat Elvis was a banana covered in peanut butter rolled in captain crunch and then deep fried. Now it's gone. Their service is still great and friendly and their drinks are great. $4 bloody Mary's! The vibe is also fun, they have a DJ and it's so colorful and fun. Still my favorite place but saddened about the limited menu now.

I've been to Rosie's a few times and the food has been inconsistent...so this last time, I decided to go for one of the dishes that I have always liked....the Big Catch (Grilled or Blackened salmon with rice and veggies). Sure enough, the meal was delicious and the service was really nice. Our waitress was very friendly and very much on top of our order. Stick with what you know here....

This is a somewhat legendary place for brunch and it is a nice bright venue with a cool vibe. All great. But... seriously each time I have been here the bar is overwhelmed, and well... it's all downhill from there. Being ignored for service is a tact but just think about that. Really brisk if not outright bitterness to people on three occasions now. It is such a surprise each time. That ruins everything. I've never seen this level of consistent disdain for people anywhere and I've traveled all over the world. We've decided to spread our wings. The table service is a different experience all together BTW and I DO recommend you get a table and avoid the bar if you want to experience some pretty good fixins.

Great burger menu, excellent service and comfortable atmosphere. I've tried several burger places and this one stands out. Excellent patty , generous fries and the burger is not soggy with creamy/sloppy sauces. The Georgia burger with goat cheese, caramelized pecans and fried onions is awesome.

What a delightful colorful tropical atmosphere! We had a round table of 6 outside on a beautiful weekend morning for Sunday Funday Brunch. We started with delicious Bloody Mary's. For food, our friends had burgers with delicious sides and raved about them. I had a mouthwatering French toast with a layer of pralines in the middle and smothered in berries on top. My hubby had the perfect flatbread with eggs and bacon and spice! Both were an explosion of flavor! We had to share as the portions are tremendous! We will be back!!! This place is a treat and a highly recommend... go enjoy....

Such a great and fun restaurant. From the food to service. No complaints from our party

Fun place for sure Good location Nice outdoor. Service is good. But the food. It's alright. Nothing Special and very pricey. I order a cheesesteak sandwich. The bread was mega dry. The onion rings dry. Same as all of our table. The order burgers. Breads are all dry. Not sure why. It's alright. Again fun place. Food not the best

Every time I'm in town I try to stop here. I have been coming here since it's existence always a fun place to people watch listen to music and eat and drink some delicious options

Friendly service and great food. This was perfect for a large group. Can't wait to go back.

Amazing atmosphere. Fun Menu. Great staff. I would highly recommend. Just GO! The place is tailored for an LGBTQ+ audience but it's so inviting anyone can enjoy the atmosphere and wonderful food. Everything was so hot and fresh, I can't wait to go again!

I go for brunch every Sunday love the music the service the food.. great ambience.. I took my dog I'm not sure if it was the host or manager .. he was upset because I had my dog with me and I told him she was an ESA animal and asked about my condition which I thought was rude.. He remarked because she was wagging her tail that she wasnt a. Serive animal .. which she was but I'm like well. Do you want me to sit on the patio if it's an issue? He was a little offensive and rude .. everybody loved my dog and she was extremely well behaved and I'm at the place but never had an issue.. and I only gave it two just because of this issue. Everything else was amazing.

A staple and must to go every time I visit Wilton Manors. Food, drinks and service always exceptional.

What a great place in Wilton Manors! Came here with a large group on a Friday and thank goodness it was off season because we were sat so quickly! Opted for indoors as it was quite hot and humid. Loved the vibe immediately, everyone seemed to be having fun and our server was really great. Fast drink service, apps came out fast, and our dinners came out perfectly. The menu had so much for so many and I was really grateful I could get a lot of cajun shrimps as they were QUITE tasty. Perfectly cooked with a slight grill char - YUM. The carrots and the slaw were also very good, made for a tasty light fare and really enjoyed the whole dinner! We surprised one of our party with a birthday dessert and the bread pudding is TO DIE FOR. We all kept saying "I'll just have one bite," and the 7 of us TOOK. IT. DOWN. We were all so satisfied and am glad we came!

It's a winner, baby! The Young Ranch Hand and Big Fish Tacos were perfect for a brunch bite! Very fresh 'n tasty all around. Great crunchy coleslaw, too. What's more to say?! Great local spot that's consistently good.

always love this place, the big dripper is the bomb comfort food. the best part is David the server, his spirit is amazing!

This place has gone from awesome to a total nightmare. I took three friends there for drinks and dinner around 10 PM, and the place was empty. We all got ID'd--my transgender friend, who looks nothing like his ID, wasn't questioned. I had an older ID, but with new face and full neck tattoos, and wasn't asked anything. My friend who lost 150 lbs on Ozempic faced no issues. Then it got crazy. The server gave my fourth friend a hard time, even though she looks exactly like her ID photo. She recently moved and wasn't sure which address to use. The first adresss she said was her old adresss in Westin, which didn't match, He interrogated her and refused to serve her drinks, which felt like overkill and ruined the vibe. We thought he was joking and fake sassy, but he was serious. We calmly canceled our order and left. The server's reaction was outrageous: he mocked us, threw his arms around, and talked trash to us. Mocking my girlfriend's voice. What used to be a great spot is now a mess with terrible service. I understand there's an argument saying that you should know your address on your drivers license, but that's not why I'm writing this review. His rude treatment and mockery reveal a serious lack of professionalism, which is why I'm writing this review.

Never a bad time at Rosie's. The food is good, the atmosphere is party like and the service can be counted on to be friendly and competent. Such was my recent Sunday Funday at Rosie's. I grabbed a couple of friends and headed over- hoping the line wouldn't be too long and it wasn't. While we waited for our table, we sat at the bar engaging with the friendly bartenders. The Bloody Mary was a little weak (I think they had them staged and the ice had melted) but it was okay for a warm up cocktail. The rest of the cocktails we had were perfectly poured so it may have been a glitch! We got seated at a cute table outside on the patio under an umbrella and a fan. It was the perfect seat as when the storms came pouring down, we didn't get wet at all. The food is always good- their fish tacos call to me they are so good! We also had a burger and a loaded chicken sandwich which my friends also raved about. And then there is my all time favorite item and that is TATOR TOTS! Any place that has tots in addition to fries is my kind of place! And if you drive- there is valet parking as street parking is sometimes hard to find. Go for the food, go for the fun, or just go to hang out. Rosie's is sure to lift your spirits!

This place was amazing. The staff was so kind and friendly and really made us feel at home. My husband got the turkey burger and I ordered the kale salad. They were great. No complaints. Prices were fair and they had some awesome happy hour deals on drinks. The place was busy but service was very fast and everyone working was very efficient and on top of things. It's very rare to see a restaurant these days that is well staffed with people eager to deliver good service. Our server Michael was just the best. I will definitely be returning soon!

I absolutely loved the service our server was a sweetheart we were a pretty large group and everyone was pleased by the service and food. The place itself is very nice as well kept loved the decorations.

We waited 55 minutes for the food to be served even though the place was not busy at around 8:30 one . Service was basic to put it nicely, we were not offered the drinks special where tonight just happened to be half price on bottle wines, we were not advised or approached to let us know about an issue with one of the items after waiting for a long time for the food Ambiance was okay. P.S the burgers were dry, (overcooked)

Rosie's is owned by John Zieba and Cliff Mulcahy who opened the restaurant in 2006 on Wilton Drive in Wilton Manors. The location used to be a former Burger King which was renovated and then they built a patio outside with lush landscaping creating a tropical oasis of fun, food, and drinks. They offer easy complimentary valet service and they serve lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch. My friend and I met up here for a Saturday night dinner. I love how open it is. There is a main room with a bar where we were seated under a rainbow of hula skirts and there are also two wings of outdoor patio seating with colorful lanterns and plants. The menu can best be described as a diner comfort food with a twist. The menu items have entertaining double entendre names inspired by people like Gypsy Rose and Brittney Spears. It includes fun cocktails, bowls, burgers, sandwiches, and big plates. We started our dinner with a shared appetizer of ooey gooey, cheesy artichoke spinach dip. We both agreed it was one of the best we have ever had. For my meal I took my friends suggestion and ordered the Bacon Bitty Bang Bang, a burger topped with Rosie's homemade bourbon bacon jam, chipotle Bang Bang Sauce, roasted plum tomato, and creamy Brie topped with kettle chips. I loved all of the flavor, especially from the bacon jam. Watching the fried chicken top salads flying out of the kitchen made me want to try that next time. With the cute decorations, music, and diverse crowd, the atmosphere here is like being on a vacation. I love the bungalow Keys vibe. The portions are large and the food is fresh and tasty. Our server was prompt, friendly, and attentive. Rosie's has all the things you could want in a restaurant. Come for cocktails, a full meal, meet up with friends, or make new ones. Count me among Rosie's fans.

Yummy food especially their fish tacos, quinoa/brown rice; drinks are great, friendly staff, both indoor and outdoor seating,, busy but joyful ambiance, parking at location plus street parking.

Great food and drinks at a gay friendly neighborhood. Burgers are excellent and drinks are strong

Rosie's is an icon on The Drive. Great staff, food, and drinks wrapped in an inclusive festive tropical cocoon. This place is the go-to when on The Wilton Manors Drive. And don't even get me started on the Sunday Funday Brunches with the DJ... just three word: FAB - U - LOUS!!
