Cute and cozy restaurant. Enough on the menu to please everyone. Prices were great for the area. The liver and onions were really good and large portion. The fries were seasoned and thick cut. The burger was good and not overly large. It was our server's first day and she was learning the ropes, so a bit slow, but we were in no hurry. Sounded like it's under new ownership as well and maybe several new employees. I wish them all well. read more

My wife and I stopped in yesterday for lunch. It now has new owners and the name is The islands pancake house. The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was great and so was the owner Stacey. Service was fast and it was nice not spending over $100 which is hard to find down in the keys. Next time we make the trip down from Michigan back to the keys, we will be sure to stop here again and highly recommend! -Jake & Lenny read more

Fresh hot donuts ! Arrived on Fat Tuesday looking for a donut , now this is a mom and pop place and mom was in the back making donuts so fresh they hadn't hit the display rack yet , a great assortment that filled my truck with the aroma of a bakery , they were devoured quickly read more

Big Pine Rooster - Donut assortment - American Near Me - Big Pine Key, Florida

Had definitely an interesting experience here. We came during the end of breakfast and the start of lunch. I was craving something salty and sweet. The common American taste. And it was an interesting experience Bf got eggs bacon and French toast. They were pretty standard diner. But you see how big and perfect those bacon are? I'd have to say if you are just wanting a snack, COME FOR THE DONUTS. Miami just doesn't know how to do donuts and this place is perrrrrffect. I wish they opened a donut shop in Miami for me! They are so fresh. I'm glad I was able to get one. The jalapeño calamari was interesting and kinda disappointing. It was mostly jalapeños. The balsamic sauce and tomato were a really weird combo with it. It didn't work for me at all. It was very over priced as well. I'd skip that. Overall, cute place and very busy. We waited about 10 min to be seated with one group infront of us. read more

We eat here several times , every time we visit the keys. Food and service were excellent and the atmosphere is very cozy. They keep the place immaculate! My husband had the Cuban burger and said it's his new favorite meal. I had the whiskey chicken dinner and it was done to perfection. Sorry to hear the former owners are no longer there but the new ones are doing a great job! Don't forget the homemade donuts!! read more

Been coming here for years an iconic place on Big Pine. Usually a 4 or 5 star place. But recently went for breakfast and ordered eggs and pancakes no meat due to doctors orders. She still charged me the same price $17. Which I thought was a little high for 2 small pancakes and 2 eggs. The service was ok. read more

Great food, great people, and great prices... especially for the Keys. Their biscuits and gravy add eggs and pico de gallo... makes an awesome breakfast. read more

Wife and I came here last year and loved it, so we decided to stop again. Checked reviews and saw they had dropped a bit. The main complaint was service. While there was only one server, she was great. We loved the food . The whiskey was exceptionally good. Will be back again read more

We got a table right away which was great! There was only one server on and there were many tables so she was a bit reasonably flustered. The food was ok. My husband's fries were cold in some places and hot in others so we think they might have been microwaved. My wings were good. The decor is really cute! This place has potential. They might just need a few more staff members. read more

Service fabulous, cheese sticks, onion rings and chicken tenders all great. But really we would come back just for the service. read more

The huevous rancheros were delicious! Nice, clean, convenient & close to our stay! Plenty of parking!

Big Pine Rooster has been a favorite of ours since at least 2020; a "must stop" along the way to-or-from Key West for great food. . . Well, today on our way back from Key West we made our traditional stop. . . The place didn't look that busy -- people at 2-or-3 tables enjoying lunch; plenty of empty tables. . . We were seated almost immediately and provided menus; that was at about 1pm. . . We waited and waited -- no water, no drinks, no ordering; just our quiet conversation. . . We did get a polite "I'll be right with you" at about 1:20. . . We left at 1:30 -- not sure we'll be coming back. . . I understand the "laid back Keys" but this wait was a bit much. . . A short 10 minute drive later, we arrived at the No Name Pub. . . And we had an OK lunch (not as good as we had expected at the Rooster); served by an attentive staff. . . Had starters, drinks, and baskets -- departed at 2:30. . . Believe our traditional stop may have changed. . . read more

Very attentive wait staff . My (Rooster )Philly was delish . Very clean establishment.

Really tasty bbq brisket and mahi mahi fish tacos. Quick service. Large portions they make donuts fresh every morning

The place was empty, a bit surprising. The waitress was amazing. Met us at the door. Very patient as we altered the order. She said if we were covid conscious , we could order online for a contactless transaction. Not necessary, but very appreciated. The restaurant dining itself is a large open area for minutes seating. But looks like a great place. Food was tasty as well. I had the bbq brisket, with baked beans, fries, and Cornbread. The Cornbread was moist, buttery, with honey. Very delicious. Food was 4 stars, but the waitress level of service pushed to that rare 5ty star. read more

I ah e been here many, many times. The service is great! Soledad makes sure you feel welcome and make sure you get what you ordered. The food is very good. Unfortunately, they are victims of the times where it's difficult to keep anyone working. So the owner, Marcy does a lot of the cooking to stay consistent. They now even make donuts for the sweet tooth. They have nice desserts like traditional Keylime pie chocolate, peanut butter, brownies, and pineapple upside down cake. Along with the sweet stuff they have a bar that has wine and beer. A very good selection of each. They also offer frozen margaritas, strawberry, daiquiris, and bloody Mary along with mimosas read more

Cool place to walk into but not good if you are On a time crunch!!!! Avoid sitting on the couches... waitress forgets about you and your order. Was close to walking out to eat elsewhere. Seems like 1 waitress and 1 cook for 12 big family tables. read more

Really tasty food. HUGE portions. Pretty big selection on the menu. Friendly staff. I've been twice. Sat at the bar once which I liked better. It was a while ago but I think they only had. Wine & beer back then, the only reason i didnt give it five stars. Also I think they deliver - I think they are the only place around that does read more

Friendly efficient and helpful staff. Food wad delicious, prepared as ordered and portions (for breakfast at least) were quite generous. If I lived in the area, The Rooster would be our "old faithful" read more

Food is great. I had some chocolate chip pancakes with eggs and sausage and the pancakes were the best thing on that plate. They were to die for!! Everything else like the eggs and sausage were okay nothing wild. Service was okay, i don't like to complain because they were short staffed; one waiter for all their tables she did great for what she had to deal with. Ambiance is nice, it's chill. read more

10/10. Service was so friendly and the food was fantastic. Would definitely eat here again!

Marcy was our server and did a nice job but the food was just subpar. A few highlights were the calamari and donuts. The French dip and fries and other meals were just okay. Probably been spoiled with all of the fabulous food we have had in the keys but it was just okay. read more

The food is SO GOOD! I ordered the monster burrito (w chicken), and it was perfection. One of the best burritos I've ever had. The service was 10/10. Not crowded. Clean bathrooms. Fun stuff on the TV's (scuba, fishing, boating channels). Great experience!! read more

Great ambiance. Lots of cute decorative roosters everywhere. Menu has a great variety for everyone and a lot of unique things like the Asian salad. They even will cook up your fresh caught fish for you! We had the hamburger for our kiddo. The don't have a written menu for kids, but they do have one if you ask. We also had the beef brisket bowl with Mac and cheese. It's definitely home made Mac, but doesn't have the crumbles on it which I love. Still yummy though. Lastly we had the pulled pork with coleslaw which was also home made. Good portion sizes. We were all full. Four stars because the waitress put in the wrong order for me. She did the beef brisket sandwich with a side of Mac and cheese which for some reason was less mac and cheese and 2 dollars more. Granted, you did get a sandwich but I didn't want the bread and things that went in a sandwich. read more

We got here just as high season had ended and the selection of food was not as good as we had hoped for. The smoke fish dip was okay, but not what we'd been expecting. The woman who waited on us was incredibly kind and helpful. read more

Best breakfast I've had this trip, and a waitress that rocked it. She was alone serving the entire place, and didn't miss a thing. It was 11 am, so it wasn't packed, but there were six full tables. We had an awesome breakfast and would love to go back for lunch. Prices were reasonable, and they have Bloody Mary's and mimosas too. read more

Fun decor and great service (friendly, recommended fun things in the area). Food served timely and hot. We split an omelette , plenty for us. Hash browns crispy, biscuit griddle toasted. All delicious!And the chocolate donut was soft and chocolatey. We will be back!!! read more

Our food was delicious, I had the wahoo and my husbands pulled pork exceeded prior restaurants. We enjoyed the special TV programming of wreck exploration and sea life. The owner made us feel right at home I would definitely recommend traveling here for great food read more

We so wanted to like this restaurant! It was Thanksgiving Day and we were staying nearby. The older menu posted online was 4 pages but has now been heavily edited. Therefore there is very little seafood on the menu, which we were looking forward to. The country fried steak resembled a frozen dinner. The Seafood Alfredo had 3 shrimp and a small piece of fish that they said was Maui for $23.95. Very bland! The Turkey dinner was smoked and all dark meat. The Mac & Cheese was good! And there were only 2 servers to manage about 60 customers. Definitely not what we expected after the reviews here! read more

Husband and I came here for dinner while in the Keys for our annual trip. Service left a bit to be desired. Food was great portions and hit the spot for 2 hungry people. I got a baked potato bowl w bbq chicken and he got the Mac n cheese bowl - it was huge. We would come back again and try some other items. read more

Unique. Beach meets country. I found the place to be adorable. It reminded me of a Southern kitchen. I ordered the whiskey chicken sandwich, but added onions and barbecue sauce. Delicious! The patio was closed but it looked fun. I loved the decorations and mood of the place. I hear they have fantastic breakfast and I'm looking forward to it. Overall, 4 stars. read more
