Great Neck

About the restaurant

Created by his children and grandchildren, Rothchilds Coffee & Kitchen is a celebration and a dedication to the memory of Walter Roth. Our patriarch was a much loved and well-known personality in Great Neck, and his love of family was only matched by his love of great food.

The family has been rooted in Great Neck since the 1960s, and Rothchilds Coffee & Kitchen has been designed as a neighborhood restaurant, with the décor and menu inspired by the diverse and vibrant community of Great Neck and the surrounding towns. The intimate and casual atmosphere serves as a gathering place to celebrate food, friends, family, and community.

Always a delicious meal! The dips and pita were fresh and creamy. The filet mignon kabobs and rice with dried cherries and pistachios was perfectly cooked and the rice was fragrant and tasty. Service is always excellent but not obtrusive
