Rosie's is more than a burger joint. This place is the hub for the Wilton Manors community! Patrons meet beneath the multi-colored lights of the patio for power lunches, munching on (very delicious) burgers, steaks, and salads. Sunday brunch is a popular time to see and be seen, as well as weekend evenings.

Still feels like Hamburger Mary's
Like many gay restaurant/bars around the country that changed their name from the once-popular Hamburger Mary's franchise, Rosie's continues to provide the ambience associated with that fading chain (still found in Palm Springs, and a few other places). The outdoor patio is only slightly more tropical than the indoor area, which is very open and breezy. Drinks are humorous, clever, and strong. Food is average to above-average, but no one cares because it's the relaxing, fun, people-watching atmosphere that keeps them coming here (which is why it works better during the day than at night, when many go elsewhere). Sundays are great whether one wants to watch sports on all the flat-screen TV's, get plastered at the plentiful bar stools, or consume buckets of beer with their brunch or lunch on the patio. It's possible to cruise and meet someone here as well, though that's not the focus, which may explain the slightly-more-than-average number of women here when compared to other Wilton Manor gay establishments.
great place for dinner
Had great service here both times I've been and some of the best food in Fort Lauderdale. Should definitely be on the itinerary of anyone coming to Wilton Manors for the night
Nice Place to Visit Anytime
Great bar staff, fun crowd, food all day long, great seafood, and Patron tequila chilled to perfection; Ill drink to that.
