TESTIMONIALS

  Dear Mary:
I spoke with you on Tuesday May 9th, and I made a reservation for my parents to come in to Roussos for Mother’s Day/my Dad’s birthday. My parents came in on Sunday, May 14th, and had a wonderful time. I just wanted to thank you and your staff for the excellent service and great food that they thoroughly enjoyed. My parents said that the place was packed and you managed to make a personal appearance to them at their table letting them know you would take care of anything they needed. Also, there were balloons, cake and singing. I really appreciate the personal service and extra effort to making their day really special. Thank you, everything was perfect!

Kind regards,
Sharon Stolfa
 

People are quick to complain when something goes wrong during a dining experience, but I wanted to thank you guys for the level of service we always get at your restaurant. The food is wonderful, of course, but you treat us like you know us every time we come in. I know its a family-owned restaurant, but I actually feel like part of the family when we eat there.


Plus, my 5 year old gets excited whenever we head across the bay from Mobile because he knows we are going to "the place where I make my own ice cream".

We have never had anything but impeccable service, and Mrs. Rousso and Georgia make us feel at home from the minute we walk in. That sort of feeling is really hard to come by these days, and that is one of the reasons we love it so much at Rousso's.

Our home is less than 2 miles from Wintzell's, but we will always drive the extra miles for your smiling faces and your wonderful food.

Thanks again,
Tommy and Amy Patterson
