Roscoe Diner - Roscoe, NY

"A classic, albeit unhealthy lunch at this diner in Roscoe, NY."

"Real turkey makes the club sandwich at Roscoe a good version of a diner classic."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle

"There is a section of the menu devoted to wraps, and they are attractively assembled."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle

"It's hard to find this these days in restaurants. Crunchy outside and warm and soft on the inside."
Stephen Rushmore Jr.

"This paper thin beauty can be served by itself, or topped with runny eggs."
Stephen Rushmore Jr.

"The rice pudding is homemade (and, in fact, rice pudding is often the only homemade dessert in diners). Roscoe's pudding is popular, although today's specimen was not good."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle

"Not recommended."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle
