Breakfast at Cocky Rooster never disappoints! Everything is delicious, but the pastelón omelette is my absolute favorite -- it's my go-to every time. My husband likes to switch things up, and honestly, we've never had a bad experience. Sweet potato was really good too! It does get pretty busy on weekends, so be ready for a bit of a wait -- but it's worth it! They've got cocktails and spiked coffee to enjoy while you wait (plus non-alcoholic options, of course ). Don't skip the fresh pastries and empanadas -- perfect little treats to start or end your meal. The whole place has a cute, homey vibe that makes you feel like a regular from the first visit. read more

Disgusting breakfast of sausage, gravy and biscuits. Biscuits were dry and hard, barely any a sausage in the gravy. No refill on coffee. I didn't care what I paid. I would've paid for a 2nd cup. read more

I love this cafe for so many reasons (attentive waitstaff, always clean, appealing decor, inviting sweets in the case, bar counter service/booths/chairs to accommodate larger groups, an easy menu to follow, and fair prices. Their food is consistently good. My small issue is that blueberry pancakes are $13, but I ordered pecans and banana. IDK, just surprised by the $5 difference. Little cheese on grits might cost an additional .20-.35 instead of $1.20. All in all, great place in the neighborhood of Deltona. read more

Cocky Rooster Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Deltona, Florida

We tried the pancake meal and the bananas foster French toast. Unfortunately, the food was very disappointing. The hashbrowns and eggs were extremely greasy, and the pancakes were bland. The syrup had no flavor at all -- almost like watered-down syrup, which was really surprising. The bananas foster French toast was just okay; essentially two croissant-like cinnamon rolls with banana and banana pudding in between, nothing special. The one positive was the service -- our waitress was very kind and the food came out quickly (about 15 minutes). Sadly, the food itself didn't measure up, and I wouldn't recommend it or return. read more

The restaurant is in a stip mall so there is plenty of parking. I was seated right away with no wait. Bethany was my server who was very happy, positive and attentive. I ordered the Crab Benedict and chose a side of potatoes. Not something I see a lot. There was plenty to eat and it tasted good. Checkout was quick and easy. Bethany left the bill at my table and you pay at the table. I liked that. I went to the ladies restroom with no intention of coming back to my table. The ladies restroom was clean and was equipped with all the appropriate supplies. When I came out "my" table was already cleaned and ready for new customers. Very impressive. I drove from Zellwood to experience this restaurant in Deltona. If you live in this area, I would definitely recommend this place. If you don't live in this area, there are plenty of other places to eat locally unless you like driving to other locations, like me! read more

The staff are rude. After giving a waitress a huge tip she spit in my face. I have PTSD She told me I was too polite How dare you I love the food but can't return read more

We chanced upon this cute cafe when we were driving through the area. It was early & only a couple of tables were taken. We noticed that the menu offered items out of the norm for a breakfast and lunch place, and I chose a Cuban medianoche and my husband got the chicken quesadilla salad. Both were really good and our server was friendly and made us feel at home. The restaurant filled up by lunchtime so we were happy to see that the restaurant was a popular spot! read more

We really like this restaurant and I wanted to bring my mom. On a Saturday morning at 11 am they had a 5 minute wait. My mom and I were happy it wasn't longer. When we were seated in a booth, Aleah came over to help with mom's walker (just to get it out of the aisle) and took our drink order. She was very friendly and helpful. They have some alcoholic beverages but I ordered a soft drink. We ordered empanadas as our appetizer. My mom decided she wanted the French Toast breakfast and I ordered the steak and eggs with onions and cheese on my hash browns. The food was excellent! The empanadas were so delicious! When we got our meals, everything looked perfect and tasted great! Aleah came by to refill our drinks and check in to see how everything was. We truly enjoyed our visit and plan to return soon! We'll ask for Aleah too! The atmosphere was lovely and the restaurant is always clean. read more

I've been here twice, once for breakfast and another for dinner and left both times more than disappointed. The second time I left angry. All I wanted was to pay my tab and it was like I was asking for codes to the nuclear weapons! This young dark haired girl with too many facial piercings even threw F bombs my way, the waitress, who expected a tip said that I had a f'ing attitude for wanting to pay my tab and leave. I wasn't going to hang around for someone to drive there in order for a printed copy. So to be clear, nobody working there could figure out how to print a receipt and expected the customers to just hang around and wait for a manager to drive there from home on a Saturday evening. How stupid is that. On to the food, it stinks, frozen cheese sticks and pot stickers with canned marina read more

Yet another fun get-together at this quirky cafe - only 3 of us this time, but as always, the food was delicious and the service was fantastic. They never rush us even tho they are busy! They have such a great menu, and this time we sampled breakfast/brunch items - since we usually meet for lunch - this was fun. Two of us had the special of avocado toast with two eggs on delicious sourdough bread. It was as good as I had in Costa Rica! Another had the French toast complete with strawberries and whipped cream! Thank you Cocky Rooster!! read more

I've been here before and it was good. Today the service was slow, waitress never came to ask how was our meal or if we needed coffee. The grits were like plaster pushed into a bowl. The only other time they came back to the table was to bring the bill. No concern about whether we enjoyed our meal. Totally careless. I probably won't be coming back and will tell all who ask. read more

This is a quaint local place with home cooked comfort food. I ordered the pot roast and my coworker ordered the meatloaf. The meatloaf was cut pretty thin, but there was nothing left on the plate when Ryan finished his lunch. My pot roast was a very generous, serving, and all I could barely eat. I was certainly not full when I left. The service was very attentive, and we did not have to wait to have our drinks refilled, this is always a bonus during the summer time in Florida. The only reason why this dropped from 5 to 4 stars, was due to the temperature in the restaurant it was 96° outside and not cold inside. We didn't sweat but it was still warmer than what I expected inside a restaurant I do recommend you try this place if you're anywhere near this location. read more

Cocky Rooster Cafe - Bar back - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Deltona, Florida

This place is amazing! It's in a strip center and doesn't look that great until you open the door. I think you'll be shocked as to how nice and clean it is. The food was delicious. I had the eggs Benedict and my buddy had the daily breakfast sandwich special. We were extremely pleased with the food quality. Coffee was good. And they have a full bar in case you're celebrating a morning birthday, which we were. I can't wait to go back! read more

I haven't had the food yet. I plan to in the future. Whatever it is. Lots of beer drinkers in this place. Lots of locals and bikers. It's a great stop for bikers. Passing through. Have a couple beers while you sit out front and watch the traffic and bikes. read more

Tasty local restaurant with a lot of choices. We ordered lunch and breakfast items (which is served all day). Very nice staff. Everything was very good. The only thing that was just ok was the pancakes. Sometimes you get a pancake you can tell is homemade and has a great texture or flavor but this one tasted like a boxed mix pancake. Other than that, liked all the food. We will continue supporting for sure. read more

This place is what happens when you fusion Italian and Puerto Rican influences: deliciousness. What sets this cafe apart from others is 2 glass cases full of all sorts of homemade Italian desserts. You can even buy whole cakes! Or buy a slice. We had breakfast here and both left very satisfied. The portions were ample and all the food was so good. He had a spinach omelet, I had a 2 meat breakfast, with 2 eggs my way and 2 sides. All for a reasonable price. Cant wait to try it for lunch. read more

Great neighborhood place with eclectic menu, fair prices and pastries too. Food was excellent. I only wish I lived closer. I'd go more!

If I could give this place a zero I would! ABSOLUTELY THE WORST EXPERIENCE WE'VE EVER HAD!! We had to leave this place because of the exceptionally rude waitress there. She had black hair and facial piercings. Even after she noticed us up front she took a while because she was too busy chatting with other guests already seated. Then when she finally came to seat us we asked kindly for a booth and she commented rudely that oh no she's too busy to clean one for us. She was very rude and acted like she didn't want to even be there. We have been going there for years and it's sad to lose future business because of the lack of quality customer service. We will be mentioning this also to the community and on social media! read more

I first tried Cocky Rooster in 2014 when I just moved into town and was less than impressed. Flash forward to now and my father had visited with a buddy and said they apparently got a new chef, spruced up the menu, and the food was good! Went there for breakfast and it has promise. I usually judge diner-style breakfast by their basics and today I went for corned beef hash and eggs with a side of biscuit and gravy. Egg cookery was good, hash browns were cooked well but no flavor aside from potato and oil, hash was your standard "dog food style" (ie super ground with tiny potato cubes, the canned stuff) and that's not a negative in my book as long as it's seared with a good crust which this was pretty good. The biscuit was a bit sweet, fell apart but in sort of a dry, crumbly way and the gravy was standard mix with barely any sausage in it. Swing and a miss on biscuits and gravy, B+ on the hash and eggs. My father was the smart one and got the Frita Fresca special which was a fried beef steak topped with fried eggs, salsa, guacamole, pico, lettuce - sounds weird but it worked well and the steak was cooked nice and tender. So it seems like their appeal will be more for the unique items rather than the diner standards. The lunch menu has a big Latin influence so I'm definitely returning to try that, and the bakery cases look heavenly! read more

Best local breakfast around. Beats any franchise for sure. I've only had their breakfast. I plan on trying their dinner soon.

Chicken Fajita Omelette- Omelette was a great choice. The chicken was well seasoned and plentiful within the omelette. The veggies were fresh tasting and not slimy, which can sometimes happen when they're pre cooked or microwaved. Hashbrowns- These were pretty basic, but even the most basic hashbrowns can be bad if not cooked well. These were cooked crispy just how I requested. Buttermilk Biscuit- This is where the enjoyment stopped. I'm not sure if an ingredient was missed this day or what, but this might be one of the worst biscuits I've ever had. Grits- Basic diner grits, but we're fully cooked and once seasoned were pretty good. Overall the service was friendly, the restaurant was packed. If you're in the area like I was to play discgolf, it's definitely worth stopping in for some good food. read more

It's been awhile since I posted a review on this place, so I think it's about time for another. On average, I, as well as at least one other member of my family have a meal here once or twice per month. I usually come here for breakfast, though we do come here for lunch on occasion. The regular menu is awesome, and has many of my favorites. The money shot is finding stuff on the small, temporary menu. Anytime it's on the temporary menu, I go for the Breakfast Street Toast. By far, the best breakfast sandwich I have ever eaten! It's enough to fill you up, and the price is reasonable. The last time we went for breakfast, the Street Toast was on the temporary menu. Obviously, that's what I went for. On the other side, was a couple of lunch options that got my attention. We went the other day for lunch to test them out. The Teriyaki Sriracha Pork Belly Tacos, and the Chicken Chorizo Tacos both sounded great. I couldn't get anyone in my party to agree to ordering both and splitting them, so I ordered both for myself. I'm not gonna lie; I ate all four tacos! The Chicken Chorizo Tacos were good, but the Pork Belly was so good, I wanted to sew my ass shut! Absolute perfection! The fries were good as well, but I couldn't have cared less if I got any of them; I was focused on my tacos. The rest of my party ordered grilled cheese (kids menu), two Cuban Sandwiches and a Spicy Cuban. Five adult meals, and a kids meal was like $63. I figure that's a win. The three Cuban consuming members of my party didn't finish them, due to size, not quality. Each of my taco dishes came with fries (Cubans did not), and the fries were passed around the table, but we're not finished (again, due to quantity, not quality). Oh yeah, that $63 price tag included two pastries from the bakery. The only thing that disappoints me about this place, is that due to COVID, they stopped staying open for dinner (Prime Rib) on weekends. I never made it there for that, and to be honest, might be my biggest life's regret... Also, tremendous service by the host and wait staff! We live about a mile away from this restaurant, and every time we drive past, my four (almost five) year old shouts, "Cocky Roooooooooster"!!!!!!!!! She also gets a high five from Miss Nina every single time she visits. Awesome place! read more

Excellent!!! An unassuming spot in a strip mall turned out to be the cock of the walk! Thank you, Yelp, once again for the recommendation. The breakfast here goes beyond your standard fare. With choices like bananas foster French toast, Philly eggs Benedict, and my order the chicken and the egg. The chicken and the egg is a Parmesan crusted chicken topped with white gravy, two fried eggs, bacon crumbles, green onions, and parmesan cheese. Of course, your choice of potato and bread to accompany. A delicious combination. Or server was delightful and helpful with suggestions. She checked in on us regularly and genuinely looked happy to be there. I must go back to run through the menu. There are so many more things to try. read more

What an unexpected delight. Cocky Rooster sits in a small shopping complex in Deltona we stumbled upon. It's menu is filled with a range of Latin dishes and elevated breakfast options. I had the beef empanada and it was everything you'd want-flavorful, juicy, crunchy. My meal came with this cilantro aioli that I want to replicate at home. It was simple but yummy. My aunt loved her Cuban sandwich. We all agreed that the French toast were a miss. They were drenched in cinnamon so you couldn't taste anything else. The texture of the bread was off as well. All in all, this is a great atmosphere and offers a range of options. The staff is friendly and attentive. read more

There isn't that many restaurants in the Deltona area so we've been looking for a breakfast place and this popped up. It's about five minutes away from our house which is great. Busy Saturday morning everybody came in for breakfast so the parking lot was practically full. Went to the hostess stand then got seated immediately outside and then our server came within five minutes. Took our order, we got our drinks within five minutes and our meals within 15. I love that the service was fast and quick. The only good thing about my food was the pancakes and the Bellini . The Benedict was not good at all, I only ate half of one. The crab tasted really fishy and it had no flavor , I wish they made it into a crabcake. I may come back to try something else and give them a second chance since there's not that many options in my area. read more

Overall we had a great experience. The restaurant is clean and the decor is nice and the server was attentive. We had a Philly cheese Benedict and a meat lovers omelet with a side of the avocado salsa. The Benedict was overall tasted pretty good but the steak wasn't seasoned so that was the only down side about the dish. The meat lovers omelet was good they definitely do not scrimp on ingredients. The biscuits I would honestly skip the dough was just very dense and didn't have any particular flavor. The avocado salsa was the best part of the meal for me and it was an add on. Not a bad place overall would try again. read more
