Cock-A-Doodle Cafe - Best 8 oz. Black Angus Mushroom Swiss Burger - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Elkhart, Indiana

We're new to the area and went for breakfast. The food was delicious and inexpensive. But even better, our waitress was so personable and friendly. It was a delight. If it's your first time, note that the menus are in a slot just below the table. It's also a smaller restaurant with limited seating, so it may be best to avoid the rush. My wife has food allergies and breakfast sometimes is hard, she's both gluten and dairy free. They helped her put a steak meal together and she was pleased! We will be coming back! read more

If your looking for a little dive restaurant with decent food and excellent service, then this is the place for you. The menu is basic and extremely cheap, but if you dont feel like dressing up and want to grab a bite to eat then throw on your trucker cap and stop into this little place. The service is outstanding and extremely friendly. Never once did I need to ask for any type of refill. I never saw the bottom of my coffee cup until I told the server not to fill it. Definitely a divey mom and pop type restaurant great for family lunch and breakfasts. You definitely get a lot of food for the money you spend. Didn't expect to walk out with a smile on my face but I did and will definitely come back. I would have given the spot 5 stars but there was a little spot on the table that was a smidge sticky. Other than that zero complaints. read more

Cock-A-Doodle Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Elkhart, Indiana

What a cute place. Unassuming from the outside but super cute on the inside. Food was fast and gigantic. Never have I been to a place that refills your coffee so many times. Thank you for such prompt service. Gotta stop by. We are from out of town and will be back when we scoot through town. read more

I went this mornin, to get a full order of biscuits and gravy. I got a half order, the potatoes underneath were burnt, and my oatmeal was runny. You can definitely tell it's new management and employees, because years ago it was excellent! The food and service. I hate that I will not be going back, to a place that me and my family enjoyed going to for years. read more

Quality has really gone down the past few years. If you are wondering what happened to Debbie. She was sent a text that they no longer need her. They are hiring their daughter. After 24 years of service that is how they treat people. What happened to loyalty. I will never go back. read more

Nothing here is bad. The only thing you will regret is maybe eating too much. But it's so good you might not care.

This place is a great place for Breakfast ,Lunch, and Dinner. I ordered a Grilled Cheese with bacon meal. The grilled cheese was really good, it was crispy and the cheese was melted, and the fries were okay. I love to go to this place! It's near by and they serve breakfast... Everyday! Their biscuit and gravy are the best in the area! I AM NOT LYING! It's a good restaurant for locals and travelers to dine here! "This place has pretty crispy grilled cheese!" read more

Great breakfast: when I order pancakes and get warmed syrup, so I knew I was in the right spot! Perfectly cooked eggs with crispy bacon. Dark coffee and attentive servers. Nice sized parking lot with an extra lot for RVs! read more

This place is a hidden gem. Great staff and a very good breakfast. Definitely a place to go if you like family restaurants.

Breakfast here today was excellent! Great prices/portions and comes out hot and don't have to wait forever for your food! Had the biscuits and gravy! Love their home fries! Updated review... Lost two of my stars... I just stopped in here to place a carry out order because I wanted to try them for dinner for a change. To my surprise they were not busy but yet I sat for 14 minutes and couldn't seem to get waited on however I saw people getting cashed out someone was filling the cappuccino machine right in front of me and could've probably turned around and help me and didn't. Then the phone rings for a to go order and I see her start to take that order before she's taken my order when I've been sitting there for 15 minutes. I walked out! Pass...I will spend my money somewhere else. read more

Came here on a recommendation from a friend. A cute little diner with great service. Our food came out super fast and was tasty and inexpensive, just what I like in a breakfast dinner. If you are looking for quick, traditional, and easy on the wallet, I would recommend this place. read more

My sister and I usually go for brunch on sundays and try to go to a different diner every time this past Sunday it was this lovely little place. I've drove by it numerous times and always said I wanted to try it so we did this time. When we walked in we got a table right away and our server was over pretty promptly. We scoured over the menu and I chose a steak w eggs and home fries and also a waffle on the side. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures... I know what kind of millennial forgets pictures of their food. Whoops !! The most impressive thing about the service is that our food was out within 7 minutes of placing the order !!! On a busy Sunday!! So awesome. read more

Don't let the outside fool you. Great lunch and breakfast items. Neat location. Old time diner feel. Sausage and biscuits was awesome. Lots of sausage. Another person in our party ordered a salad with grilled chicken. The lettuce was very fresh. The chicken was great. read more

Cock-A-Doodle Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Elkhart, Indiana

Your typical go-to local breakfast spot. My boyfriend and I frequently go to Cock-A-Doodle since it's closer than Bristol Street but it's still just as amazing. The cinnamon roll French toast is amazing! Can't go wrong with local on a Sunday morning. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Yep, those are some tasty biscuits and gravy, just like everyone else said. But, man, those portion sizes are NOT kidding around. I ordered the full size with the potatoes and almost made it through half. The hubby ordered an omelet that felt like it had a full package of bacon tucked in to it. He made it through almost half. The leftovers were very tasty later, making another full meal and change for each of us. The diner itself is pretty typical and very tidy. The staff were friendly and offered to refill coffee promptly. We were there midday so customers were ordering a combination of breakfast and lunch. Only down side there was that the smell of fried perch didn't go very well with bus this and gravy, but it wasn't overwhelming. Prices were just about right. I would guess there can be a wait for tables at peak brunch hour, but we didn't have an problems and tables were turned pretty quickly. Exactly what we needed for a late weekend start. read more

I am a Yelp devotee, but if it wasn't for Google Reviews (and my husband's insistence that they are more reliable than Yelp reviews) I never would have tried this place. When my husband suggested we go someplace new for breakfast, someplace known for their biscuits and gravy, someplace where the two sets of reviews couldn't be so different, I was nervous. But I try to compromise, and my husband relies on Google reviews, where Cock-a-Doodle blows the competitors out of the park, so off to Elkhart we went. I hate to admit it, but in this case, Yelp failed me. This place was great! It is nothing to look at on the outside (or even the inside, really), but it was packed. We didn't wait long for a seat at the counter and had coffee in no time. It is a real team effort. I think we had a total of 6 people waiting on us for this or that, but not in a disorganized way - more like a well-oiled machine. The coffee was good, with some flavor I couldn't put my finger that made it cozy and comforting as I looked over the HUGE menu. I would have poured over it for an eternity if I hadn't arrived prepared to order B&G. The food came out quickly and was delicious. A to-go order for the teenager back home was well-wrapped and stayed hot all the way back to the Bend. The three of us ate for under $20. It seemed like a deal to me. I'd have to try other things at Cock-a-Doodle to give it 5 stars, but I was really impressed with the down home, family atmosphere. I also loved the diversity in clientele, where everyone seemed welcome. I'll certainly be back. read more

Today my best friend and I went to breakfast at this restaurant. The food was AMAZING!!!!!!!! It's a small restaurant so if you don't go early, you'll have to wait to be seated but the food was delicious and affordable. This place will now be our breakfast spot after to take the kids to preschool! read more

People love breakfast food here. Overall the service is good. The table arrangement is crowded. Outside the door there are extremist magazines which make me question ownership. I have chose not to eat here because I do not support any business that allows hate to be propagated. read more

Cock-A-Doodle Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Elkhart, Indiana

Cock A Doodle Cafe is our favorite breakfast/brunch spot in Elkhart. Good food, reasonable prices, big portions and always great service. We're not alone, its always busy, but usually there's no wait. They have more than breakfast on the menu, and its good, but we almost always have breakfast no matter what time of the day. Its that good. If you're not sure what you want, get the scrambler, and if you're cutting back, get one and split it (they're big!). Stop in, I think you'll agree with me and the wife. read more

Cock-A-Doodle Cafe - Cock A Doddle Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Elkhart, Indiana

I can't believe that I haven't reviewed this place yet. I've been here a number of times when it was very busy and now today when it wasn't so busy. The service has always been superb, the food came to us fast, the prices are more than fair and is some very good eating. Plenty of parking, easy in and out and very friendly service. What more can I say? read more

I love this restaurant, I really do. The food is pretty good. However the service is disappointing to say the least. The waitresses do NOT like gay people. She was clearly agitated with us being there, she asked if it was together or not before she took our order, which is something we get all the time. It drives me crazy! If I want the check split I'll tell you! Anyhow, was asked What do you want? Gave her our order. She then took another tables order and was very friendly. She did not turn our ticket in first she turned the other tables in first, so in turn we did not get our food until way after they did! She checked on them twice while never returning to our table to ask how everything was. Never getting a refill on coffee unless it was by the hostess lady that was walking around with coffee. This is not the first time we have been treated like this here but it will be the last for a long time! Haters alive and well at this place! read more

Best hole-in-the-wall breakfast place I've ever eaten at. The food is fresh and it comes very quickly. You cannot go wrong with the Biscuits and Gravy over Home Fries, or the Omelettes. If you leave this place hungry then you've ordered the wrong thing. The quantity of food you get with every order is fantastic. Best place for when I have a day off. Breakfast old fashioned style. I love it. read more

I love this place! I always come for breakfast! I get the Rise n Shine every time! The consistency with this place. It's great EVERY time! Bacon is made to order, mine medium. Yum! The over medium egg with just the right amount of yolk. The little things in life...The fluffy light pancakes that are sooo delicious! Not everyone can make good pancakes and Cock-A-Doodle got it figured out! I was born and raised in Elkhart and I love eating local! Thank you Bree, and Debbie for your great service! Top notch crew! I'll see you again soon for another amazing breakfast. read more

Went here for the first time on a Saturday morning. The outside is a little rough looking. However, when you walk in it is nice and quaint. The restaurant was full (which is always a good sign). Menu is large and offers many options. I ordered the Mexican skillet. It was quite large! It comes with salsa and sour cream (which their refill at no additional charge). I was only able to eat half and loved every bite! Made even better left overs! My husband got the western omelet and devoured his! We also got a side order of biscuits and gravy since we had heard that they are really good. They certainly did not disappoint. Pricing is a little more than other breakfast places in the area but not terrible. For Omelet with toast, skillet with toast, small side biscuits and gravy, and 2 coffees was $33 not including tip. The inside is small and it is seat yourself but the tables turn quickly. We will definitely go back! read more

If u r looking for some delicious home cooked meals then look no further. The biscuits and gravy here are amazing. The portions are huge and service is always quick and friendly. A true jem of the area. read more

OMG, I have never had breakfast served so fast in my life. Fast food restaurants aren't even this fast. We were wowed. This is good, old fashioned home cooking. Superb quality and friendly service. So glad we stopped here. read more

Sat for 10 minutes, watched people who came in after us get service, so we left. No one even bothered to acknowledge us.
