Description
The Roscoe Diner was built in 1962 and is considered to be one of the busiest and most well known restaurants along Route 17.[3][5][6] As of 2020, it is owned by the Niforatas family.[6]
Although Roscoe is a small hamlet with a population of less than 500 at the time of the 2020 census, the diner served anywhere between several hundred and a thousand meals each day at its peak,[7] leading the diner to declare itself "World Famous."[8]
Customer numbers have declined in recent years due to a decline in trout fishing, the region's main draw.[9]
The diner's signature item is its French Toast, featuring slabs of bread that are 1.5" thick.[3][10] Breakfast is served all day, and meals are served on Syracuse China.[8] Pennants from colleges in New York and across the northeast region decorate the walls.[2]
