It was a super packed Saturday morning (around 11am) but the service was still quick, friendly and the food was hot! We sat at the counter and Linda made sure we were well taken care of! I loved seeing how the waitresses helped each other out. They take cash only, and if you're unprepared, they have an ATM that charges a small fee. Here's the updated menu with the updated prices.

I first discovered Rosie's on Yelp when In search of a breakfast place. We have eaten here twice now. Old school reminiscent of a small town cafe. Friendly wait staff, quick, and delicious.

Cute little diner, located in the middle of a neighborhood. Heard nothing but good stuff and we had to stop in and try for ourselves. Service was great. Very kind and attentive staff. Food was quick, hot and delicious. I love that they have old trivia cards at the table to help kill time and helps you interact with your people vs being on your electronics. Hope to visit again. ***cash only but they do have an on- site ATM.

There was a slight wait and the servers gave us coffee to enjoy as we waited outside. How great is that?! The skillets are very good and Wisconsin-sized. It's charming in a yard sale sort of way ツ

Probably the local's secret spot, so don't tell anyone about this review. One of the best breakfasts in La Crosse, WI. Everything comes out piping hot, we had a quiche, veggie omelet with ham and the biscuits & gravy. Food comes out very fast too! Staff was nice and attentive with a couple people always walking around to warm up your coffee and check on you. Booths are nicely decorated and feel private due to the plexiglass left over from Covid times. Would definitely eat here again to try additional menu items.
