Step inside the Roscoe Diner!

The Roscoe Diner was built a long time ago, either in 1962 or 1964. It quickly became one of the busiest and most well-known restaurants along Route 17. Even though Roscoe is a small town, the diner used to serve hundreds, sometimes even a thousand, meals every single day! This amazing popularity led the diner to proudly call itself "World Famous."

What Makes It Special?

The diner's most famous food item is its amazing French Toast. It's made with super thick slices of bread, about 1.5 inches thick! You can enjoy breakfast meals all day long here. The food is served on special dishes made by Syracuse China.

If you look around the diner, you'll see the walls are covered with pennants. These are flags from different colleges all over New York and the northeastern United States. It's a fun way to see where students who visit the diner might be heading.

Modern Touches

The Roscoe Diner also has a modern feature in its parking lot. There's a charging station for Tesla electric cars. This makes it a convenient stop for drivers with electric vehicles who are traveling through the area.
