Rose’s Restaurant and Bakery

I love this place! The service is always great & the food is consistently delicious. My faves are the breakfast burrito, fish burger, clubhouse, chicken parmigiana, & beef stroganoff.

The Omelets here are big and good. Try the «death by chocolate «cake. Expensive, but you will never see a more chocolatey cake anywhere. Slices are small, thank goodness, or we would all be in trouble.

I had a wonderful Mother’s Day brunch here. Delicious menu options and great service! We will be back for sure so I can try and figure out the gravy recipe!

Roses rocks a bit of just about anything you could want to eat or drink. For a huge breakfast, the ranchero burrito is good to fill you up. The omelette are also very filing. For lunch to dinner the Rubens, other cold and hot sandwiches, pasta dishes, soup of the day, salads, to dessert all are huge and sure to have you going home with a doggie bag. The bar has video poker and a decent happy hour with Moscow Mules at $ 5 recently.

Been here twice again recently to find that burgers are what they do. Well-​cooked, well-​assembled, fresh ingredients. Thumbs up. I must also give a shout-​out to their chicken matzo ball soup. A solid demonstration of this east coast staple.

I’ve been here before and love the food. Things have changed for me and eating sugar is a definite no-​no anymore. I’m sorry they took off the sugar-​free desserts — yes, I did ask. However, the rest of it was so yummy. I had the salmon scramble and they were very accommodating when I asked for fruit instead of their variety of potatoes. Of course most of the rest of the family had their lox and bagels, which looked scrumptious! I wish they had a little bigger variety of bagels, but since I didn’t have one, it doesn’t matter this time. The service was fairly good, but they screwed up a couple of our orders which is why they didn’t get 5 stars. They should have a kitchen expediter, who checks the tickets against the plates being sent out of the kitchen. It wasn’t that hard an order.

The food at Roses’s is good. The service is average. The noise from the kitchen so loud we couldn’t even have a discussion at our table!

Horrible service. Our server in the bar complained to us that we had ONE MORE person than our original plan. She was so rude, forgot things, gave me the wrong change. Never came back with refills. Awful. Never coming back.

The wait staff was friendly, the portions large, the food wonderful! Highly recommend.

Stopped in as we were driving by. Sat in the bar for happy hour. Wasn’t really sure after looking at the menu, but turned out to be pleasantly surprised.
Blue cheese sliders, they were a little overcooked but still had good flavor. The steak bites were also a touch overdone, but a little less cooked they would have been amazing cause the sauce was so yummy! Soinach dip was so very yummy.
Service was not so friendly, and he seemed very uninterested and slightly unable to multitask. And no personality whatsoever!
So why four stars? Its really more of a 3 ½? But it has great potential and really good flavor.

For a place that has great food, the overall atmosphere is not great. The wait staff whine about having to be here and try to avoid having to help you at all. This is our third and last visit here. Each time we have had above good food, with sub par service and flat out rude staff.

Make sure you don’t order the cabbage rolls! Had some today and they were completely unacceptable… sweet, of all things with yucky ketchup topping. Green beans were ok.
Also service was spotty. Not planning to go there again.

Ordered eggs, bacon (extra crispy), country potatoes (but was served hash browns), and a biscuit that was split, buttered then grilled (never had such a thing). And everything had too much butter. The biscuit had no flavor other than butter & oil.
Partner ordered pancakes, scrambled eggs, and they accommodated him with some chicken sausage. Pancakes were light & fluffy & tasty. Eggs drenched in butter & he felt bad that they had gone to the trouble to make the chicken sausage, but it was tough as leather.
I would come back for lunch or dinner, but cannot recommend breakfast unless you specify «no butter.»

Great service and good food. Need to replace cushions on booths. Had Burger with bacon and avocado. Friend had chicken tortilla soup. It was all very good. Waitress and bus boy excellent jobs.

This is the go to place for happy hour and soup. When you have a cold, their chicken noodle soup is an awesome cure. We also love to go there for breakfast!

Our experience was good but the menu has changed — it’s gone away from the Jewish deli concept it used to have, to more routine American food. They don’t have potato pancakes on the menu anymore. The matzo ball had herbs in it and a darker color, different from the usual solid light colored ball of the past. I guess the changes made me a little sad.
Our server, Aaron, on the other hand, was marvelous. It would be worth going there just to sit in his section. Very attentive and nice without being overbearing. That made it a happy dinner time. I would go back but I think they should put some of the unique items back on the menu — those are what made it really special.

I went and saw Grandma Rose tonight :-) :-) Yes… Going to Roses is a flash back to good olé Gramma’s cooking. I remember going to the one that used to be on 102^nd when I was a kid.
It all started in 1956 when a gal named Rose Naftalin who moved to Portland from Ohio and opened a small restaurant on NW 23^rd Avenue. Soon her Reuben’s, matzo ball soup, desserts, specialty cakes and Rose’s Original Giant Cinnamon Roll were super well known. Rose was well known as a great chef and cookbook author. She gained recognition across the nation as «Grandma Rose.» There you have it!
Upon entering this location I was greeted and seated promptly. The restaurant was about ½ full. And I noticed that Gramma Roses has a lounge as well now… odd for this kind of place. Actually weird! Gramma’s probably spinning in her grave.
The waitress came by about 4 minutes later and provided me with a menu and took my drink order. She was pleasant and helped answer the questions I had about the menu.
So anyhow… I chose the Chicken Bacon Pasta from the extensive menu. It comes with a salad or soup and a couple thinly sliced/​toasted bagel with a lil cheddar on them. I received my salad promptly and it consisted of romaine and iceberg lettuces, tomatoes, cucumbers and black olives. It was fresh and good.
It took awhile for the pasta to come but when it did it was piping hot and looked wonderful. The taste was spectacular… True comfort food. I wasn’t so keen on the bagels chips… They were hard and dry. Yuck! I was however given a piece of garlic foccocia bread which was A ok.
Now here’s where the not so happy comes in. After I got my pasta I never saw my waitress again… Well at least at my table. She was visiting with people and having a great time. I finished and she still didn’t show up with the check but she was still laughing and visiting with others. Usually a good waitress will come by and check how your food is, refill your drink and ask if you want dessert (especially in a place that features desserts). I got none of these!
Finally after not seeing my waitress for about 35 minutes my impatience caught the eye of another waiter and they gave me my check.
Too bad… Something that started so good, ended so wrong.

This place continues to flounder. It has gone through some more management changes and menu changes and still lacks anything «special». I may be jaded because I am old enough to remember the original Rose’s and when they first brought back the brand several years ago it came back with all the tradition and flare of the original. It’s had ownership and management change I don;t know how many times and it really just isn’t anything special anymore. They have added so much to their menu that instead of doing a few things really well they do a bunch things just ok. Luckily for them Sherwood doesn’t have a lot of other options, so people eat here for lack of other options. suspect that is why their other locations like Beaverton and closed. I hope they get it together because as Sherwood grows and more places open, they wont be able to sustain «just ok» for much longer.

I was here recently for a late lunch with the MIL and our kiddo. A nice little family get-​together. I’ve seen this place in passing and it’s fairly close to the MIL. It’s located in a strip mall. There is a dining area and a lounge. When you enter, there is large display of desserts. The cinnamon roll is HUGE. It looks like a loaf of bread and their french toast is a slice of this cinnamon roll.
I thought the prices of the desserts were a little too much. I did go home with a cannoli and it was delicious but I didn’t think it was worth the price I paid for it. The food was good. They serve breakfast until 2pm on the weekends and we were there just before then.
Our waitress was very friendly and nice. It was quite busy. I ordered the Mexican Chorizo and Garlic Shrimp burger on a brioche bun with their potato salad. The burger was good. The chorizo is not overpowering and the shrimp was delicious. I thought the potato salad okay. It was a tad bit on the sweet side for me. Like sweet pickle sweet.
The sweetheart ordered the Mac & Cheese Burger which also came on a brioche bun and you can substitute with a honey wheat or gluten-​free bun for free. It was a heaping burger with thick-​sliced bacon and he ended up eating it with fork and knife. The MIL ordered their pancakes and she seemed to have enjoyed it. Our kiddo ordered the french toast, the one with the slice of cinnamon roll. He liked it so much, he cleaned the plate.
All in all, it was a good experience and I liked the food. I’d like to try their breakfast next time.

Rose Naftalin must be rolling over in her grave.
The service is atrocious. Everyone is nice, but the system is terribly inefficient. Upon arrival toward the end of the lunch time frame with one other person, I was told that there might be a wait for a table. I looked around and saw numerous empty tables. We were seated after a short wait, but then it was a long time until a (friendly) waitress came along. The menu is overpriced and limited. The sandwich section mentions nothing about corned beef or pastrami as an option on a «regular» deli sandwich, while it trumpets them as part of a reuben only. Clearly, the management wants you to buy a $ 15 Reuben and not buy a more reasonably priced sandwich. There is also no section for «sides» on the menu. The children’s menu was quite expensive — $ 6.99 per item (I’m used to $ 4.50 or so).
The food was thoroughly mediocre. More disturbingly, it took FOREVER to reach the table. After fighting my way through the menu, I ordered a cold pastrami sandwich with potato salad. How long does that take to throw together?
I didn’t order desserts, but noticed they were overpriced as well. Napoleons and cannoli here in little old Sherwood cost about twice what they cost in NYC!
I will never come back.
