Rose's Cafe Healy: Reviews & Ratings
When you want a traditional American breakfast, this is your place. Roses Cafe is a cute dinner in Healy, AK. The veggie omelette was good with a sourdough toast and I topped mine with their homemade sauce. The pancake was huge! The service is very friendly. We felt like having breakfast at auntie.
This is the only place for great food in Denali park .great food (see pictures) it opened for Bk and lunch till 2:00pm so plan ahead. Best Salsa ever .and it’s packed in dehydrated packages. We really enjoyed our lunch . Thank you
While staying in Healy (overnight) at Aurora Denali Lodge, we got the chance to eat at this cafe (not just once but twice, dinner and breakfast). The place is full of character, charm, and story to tell. I so love the simplicity of the place and the unexpected framed and funny quotations all over. So this place is usually filled during summertime, but in winter, when visited, we had the place to ourselves (tour group). We had so much fun (and laughter) dining at this place where we had great interaction with the owners and staff who are vivaciously funny. The breakfast menu is outstanding and has a big portion. I love the french toast. You got to love family owned diner that is being managed, tended, and served by the owners themselves. That in itself make eveything personal and special.
Great American diner. Food fabulous. I'll never get used to being asked so many questions about my breakfast, everything is optional. When you are used to either a full or a mini breakfast, with no options, the 20 questions is quite an ordeal. I'm not used to choice, and having to think in the morning. So it's eggs sunny side up, linked sausages and french toast, all choices I wouldn't get at home. I'll find out when they open in the morning, we'll come back.
An absolute hole in the wall! This place is one of the best comfort food restaurants I’ve ever been to. I got the Healy special and my boyfriend got the chicken fried steak. I opted for pancake instead of hashbrown/toast and it was MASSIVE. Everything was hot, delicious and service was friendly and quick. The whole place was full but service never slowed down. Ladies here are very friendly as well.
Very hearty all American breakfast. It was the best pancake I had in many while! Highly recommend if you are driving by
Great food - big food with homemade bread. Open 7 days a week for the summer. A perfect stop
A friend recommended Roses and it was as described. Food was plentiful and tasty. Service fast although our waitress was not one for small talk. She was all business and that's OK. A pleasant and delicious breakfast before our Denali visit!
