ose’
s Fine 
Food is set up 
to be a long-
time mainstay on 
Detroit’
s east side. Rose’
s 
delivers an ultimate 
gourmet twist on typ-
ical American diner 
food. Located on 
10551 E. Jefferson at 
Hastings St., there is a 
giant sign you cannot 
miss. The free-stand-
ing building is adorned 
with a steel smoker out 
front emblemized with 
roses. 
The Detroit-chic 
diner occupies less than 
1,000 square feet, leav-
ing you with an intimate feel. This 
may be in part to the welcoming staff, 
who are knowledgeable, friendly and 
easy to converse with. You could sit 
and shmooze with them like old-time 
friends! 
The tables are salvaged wood, and 
chairs have been collected through 
the decades. Or park yourself at the 
diner counter on a leather swivel stool 
with a chair back. The mismatched 
vintage china flatware, mugs and cups 
are dainty and eclectic. Live succulent 
plants along with jars of house-pickled 
kimchi, onions and cucumbers line 
the floating shelves above the kitchen 
line. It’
s your classic open-style kitchen 
dining experience. The overall feel of 
Rose’
s is a nostalgic vibe with the abso-
lute freshest ingredients. 
Enjoy the fresh smells of daily home 
baked items inside an antique dis-
play case and definitely indulge in 
one. The most recent delectable dish 
I tried was a rhubarb yogurt pie. The 
items rotate along with daily drink spe-
cials such as lavender lemonade. 

The menu is fairly 
stable but does change 
per the season as Rose’
s 
focuses on fresh, locally 
sourced ingredients. 
Fun fact — one of the 
part-time chefs is a full-
time farmer whose urban 
farm is about six miles 
away in Detroit. 
The menu clearly 
marks which dishes are 
vegan and gluten-free.
Staple items are 
Grandpa Richard’
s 
Pancakes (stack of 
delicious cakes made 
with organic stone-
ground flour, Michigan 
maple syrup and cul-
tured butter), Staff Favorite 2.0 (a 
bowl of heirloom rice topped with 
maple bacon, mushrooms, house kim-
chi and avocado with a fried egg on 
top), and you can’
t go wrong with one 
of the lunch sandwiches. 
Don’
t skip out on the variety of 
side dishes: organic grits, toast, herby 
beans, grilled potatoes and sides of 
flapjacks. Fresh sides of meat include 
applewood bacon, corridor sausage 
— pork or chicken. Corridor sausage 
is a local product to Detroit. Maybe 
you’
ve seen the Corridor Sausage deli at 
Detroit Metro Airport or Ford Field. 
The 40-seat artisanal gem of a diner 
is best with a small group of four or 
less. It is also a great place to dine alone. 
The dynamic duo behind the ori-
gins of Rose’
s Fine Food are Molly 
Mitchell and Lucy Peters. They are 
cousins and named the restaurant after 
their common grandmother. Next up 
for Molly Mitchell will be a Polish-
inspired restaurant serving up perogies 
and more in Detroit’
s West Village at 
the corner of Agnes and Van Dyke. ■
