The place

Rosie's is one of those restaurants that defines a neighborhood. In Wilton Manors — Fort Lauderdale's beloved LGBTQ+ enclave — Rosie's has been serving diner-style comfort food alongside drag entertainment since the 1990s. Weekend brunch here isn't a meal; it's an event.

The food is exactly what you want from a brunch spot: eggs benedict with hollandaise made from scratch, pancakes stacked high, strong mimosas, and friendly service that seats strangers together when tables run short. The drag brunch shows on weekends are the main draw.

Performers work the room while you eat, and the energy is inclusive enough that first-timers look at regulars thinking: we should have done this years ago. Reservations are strongly advised for weekend drag brunch.

What to expect

Drag brunch shows on Saturdays and Sundays. Reservations essential for weekend brunch (book 1–2 weeks ahead in season). Street parking on Wilton Drive. LGBTQ+ welcoming; all are welcome. Dogs on the patio.
