For many residents, it’s the go-to for breakfast or lunch and the best hole-in-the-wall restaurant near me.
Unfortunately, as big-hearted as Rosy’s may be in service and flavor, it’s rather - let’s say “intimate” - on the interior.

On busy days, you may need to squeeze in and make some new friends or wait a bit for your breakfast. But believe me, it’s worth it!
Everything is prepared short-order style right behind the counter.

We like the flaky biscuits with homemade sausage gravy.
And with the big food it serves up, such as this delicious chicken sandwich, you’ll certainly forgive - or even come to embrace - Rosy’s tiny space.

The specials are always interesting, such as the Gut Pile Skillet which comes with American fries, onions, green pepper, mushrooms, jalapeños, bacon, ham, sausage, corned beef, American cheese, and sausage gravy, topped with two eggs made your way, and a choice of toast. (What?!)
But don't forget to try the house-made cudighi sandwich which is native to Michigan's Upper Peninsula!
