This is located in downtown Annapolis. There is no parking. They got outdoor seating and indoor seating. It's great to sit outside and watch the water. It's American food. I've been to this place twice I always love the watermelon & goat cheese salad. It's to the point that I create it at home. I just love juicy and sweet watermelon on hot summer day. It pairs well with goat cheese and balsamic glaze. We also got French toast and chicken. The French toast you really need to put the syrup on it. The chicken is southern chicken. I will say the sweet tea my preference needs to be sweeter. But my bf thinks it's too sweet. So you decide if you want it or not. Our waiter is super nice. He gave us recommendation. He even let me sample the sweet tea. Definitely come here! read more

First time @ Iron Rooster. We did not have to wait long to get outside seat for two. Our waitress "Paris" was friendly and quite helpful. Blackened Chicken Ravioli was Krazy good. Chicken was not dry and deliciously seasoned. But fries were cold not crispy. Crabby patty was OK as beef has no seasoning. They have many other options and service was great. We'll try again. read more

An excellent brunch spot for any number of people. We went on a Tuesday morning/early afternoon so it was mostly empty. The service was excellent. Our waitress had the biggest brightest smile while serving us. She was never too far to answer any questions or to make sure everything was going well. A+ Food was excellent. The pancakes were so fluffy. Definitely recommend getting a topping though as the pancakes soak up the syrup so fast because it is pretty lite. Bacon was cooked perfectly crispy and egg whites were also well done. We also got a half waffle and scrapple which were also nicely cooked. Parking can be troublesome due to location but that's to be expected in downtown Annapolis. Prices are only slightly above average from what we have experienced. All in all we would go back to try the chicken and other options! read more

Food was good but the place is so loud and the bathroom was absolutely disgusting. When I told the hostess she seemed concerned but the guy she told did not care at all. The entire restaurant seems a bit grimy. It has a lot of potential to be awesome but could do so much better. Our waitress Katherine was awesome but overall we were not impressed. read more

ok food very expensive. The food is OK. They really just specialize on breakfast food

Easily the best breakfast food in Anne Arundel County. I came here last week with my wife and was blown away. The crab hash and chicken and waffles were delicious and don't get me started on the breakfast eggs rolls. Our server provided excellent service, and we're already making plans to come back for happy hour. We had been planning to come here for some time, but now I wish we hadn't waited so long. Better late than never I guess. read more

The food was delicious! The service from the staff was excellent and very kind. The sound was moderate, the atmosphere of the place was all good vibes. The food did take a bit longer than anticipated but it was also very busy at noontime. Definitely keep in mind to be patient. The waitlist was only 15-25mins long but felt like 10 mins for my group(4 people) Thank goodness this place restrooms were super tidy and nice! read more

The food was great, our server was very nice but the management is just wow... We asked our server if we could substitute a kids egg for an extra piece of French toast and she said yes. After we started eating and were well into the meal the manager came over and told us "I have to charge you for the French toast, your server was wrong." Okay, we wouldn't have ordered it then but to charge us after the act is kind of unbelievable. If that's how the owners and managers run their business, it's hard to support. read more

Food was delicious. Though the avocado toast could have had more avocado. It was only a thin spread. Other than that, great food, service and ambiance. read more

After sending my son off to basic military training from Ft. Meade, I needed something good to eat. My husband, daughter and I decided on the Iron Roister. Any restaurant that serves breakfast all day is a winner with my family. It's welcomingOur waitress made recommendations and was so warm and welcoming. I was the oddball and got the buffalo chicken salad. All fresh ingredients and the chicken was flavorful, crispy and had just the right amount of sauce. My husband had the chicken and French toast. They give you a generous-sized chicken breast. My daughter had the brie French toast. She described it as a decadent grilled cheese-like breakfast sandwich (sorry no pics, she devoured it). I had to be different. I got the buffalo chicken salad. It was fresh and the chicken was seasoned and saucy. Everything was delicious! There was minimal talking at our table because the food was amazing. Annapolis is one of my favorite places, but now this place is one of the reasons why. The restaurant is tucked nicely between other cute restaurants/businesses. The staff was warm and inviting, which added to the wonderful experience. read more

Absolutely delicious. We stopped in for breakfast and were seriously impressed. The poached eggs were cooked perfectly, and the corned beef is made in house, tender, flavorful, and packed with character. But the real standout was the chipotle hollandaise sauce. Tangy, spicy, and totally addictive. I would put that stuff on everything. This place knows what it's doing. Great food, great vibes. Highly recommended. Would 100 percent suggest to anyone in Annapolis looking for a breakfast worth waking up for. read more

The staff was great, helpful with suggestions on food, and joked around with the different tables. Such a hidden gem. The food melted in our mouths so flavorful. read more

This location has metered street parking but it is free before 10am. It is a big restaurant with an upstairs with more seating and a full bar. We were seated quickly. Our server was in training and did a great job checking in and taking our orders. Our food came out quickly. This restaurant doesn't have gluten free toast. The food was good. One of the better hollandaise sauces I have had, not too much mayo and good flavor. The Hashbrown were perfectly crunchy. I would definitely be back for the eggs Benedict. read more

This is a super cute breakfast spot in Annapolis. We went on a Saturday morning and it was busy, but we were able to get a table within 10 minutes. They have indoor and outdoor seating, so we sat outside. For food, I had the Mick's griddle. The sandwich was really good on the French toast. I got home fries on the side and I wish they had been crispier, they were more mushy. We also shared the candied bacon. We didn't realize the bacon was going to be spicy, so we weren't as into that but we clearly just didn't read the menu. My friend got the pina colada crush and I tried a sip and it was so good. When I visit again, I'm definitely getting that drink. The service was a bit slow but they were quite busy. Definitely a cute spot to try if you are in Annapolis. read more

My family and I went to Iron rooster for brunch. Upon arrival we were greeted and seated. On the inside, they have a homey ambiance and outdoor seating. Our server Meg was a delight and offered many suggestions. We tried the Salmon which has a nice honey flavor. The blackened chicken ravioli which my mom enjoyed. I had chicken and waffles. The chicken was okay - the breading was falling off and crumbly. The honey mustard vinaigrette was yummy! My boyfriend got the burger which he enjoyed. To me, I am grading this as being okay 7/10. read more

We stopped here for breakfast while staying in Annapolis and the food was amazing! My breakfast sandwich was huge and the garlic aioli on it is to die for.

Highly recommend this place if you're in town. I want to try one of the rooster tarts next! read more

Iron Rooster - The Bar - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

One of our go-to brunch spots in Annapolis. Most recently went on Friday for lunch, and there was no wait; however, this time we were seated on the less spacious side of the restaurant - the right side next to the bar. We ordered the Brussels sprouts as an app - a little bland and each bite needed some bacon to add some flavor. For entrees, the classic Benny and fried chicken & pancakes are both solid choices. The home fries were a little mushy. Fried chicken was nice and flavorful. read more

My friend and I sat outside on a beautiful day. I got a nice ice tea with lemon and the veggie omelette. They don't have much for vegetarians so I tend to get the same thing every time I eat there. Iron Rooster didn't you get the memo that yolks are good for you? Please stop with the egg white omelettes already. It always tastes a tad fishy too like they just sautéed shrimp in the same spot where they are cooking the egg white. It's has lots of diced veggies and goat cheese tho so I really like that and came with a nice little salad. I think toast or muffin should be offered on the side. Good service. read more

We were looking for dinner in Annapolis and chose Iron Rooster because of its high ratings. I was a little disappointed. I will preface this by saying our server was really nice - I forgot her name but she was very kind and helpful. We found a hair in one of our entrees and she apologized sincerely although it wasn't her fault. She let her manager know without us asking and removed it from our bill, which was very considerate. Iron Rooster also has a ton of great options, including breakfast all day. There was definitely a lot to choose from, and it seems like a good brunch place. However, I was excited to try the honey glazed pork chops, but the texture was off and it didn't taste very fresh. My family didn't seemed super impressed with any of our entrees, although they sounded good on the menu. I'm not sure if it was just an off day. I think Iron Rooster has potential, but it just missed the mark for me. Maybe I'll try something new next time I'm in Annapolis. read more

On our third or 4th visit to Iron Rooster on a sunny Friday in mid summer, the extremely competent wait staff again did not disappoint. They handled the crowded dining room and outdoor seating areas with expert aplomb, and moved people in and out with keen efficiency, which we appreciated given our afternoon boatride tickets. Breakfast seems the call here, no matter the hour. For many lunchtime restaurants do not open til 1130 or later, the earlier seating really makes IR a find. read more

Charming and immaculate restaurant in the heart of downtown Annapolis with an excellent variety of top-notch food! We opted for the breakfast type items: Angry Pig Omelette, Chicken Benny, Waffles and their homemade pop-tarts. ALL were fantastic. The home fries are especially delicious. We loved being upstairs with a view overlooking the harbor. It will become a favorite tradition when we visit Annapolis. read more

We had an early morning breakfast here outside on a bright sunny day. It was a decent walk from our hotel and we enjoyed the outdoor seating. Not all of the tables had good shade so arrive early because the tables fill up fast! Our server was a nice guy, but the wait at times was a bit long. I suppose they were understaffed in the kitchen or busy on the inside. The menu has a lot of breakfast options with early morning cocktails if that's your thing. Most of the tables around us looked like they were occupied by co-workers meeting up talking business over a meal or friends meeting up for breakfast and a drink. We were one of several families. I had to try one of their Roos Tarts. My advice would be to split this with someone because they are a meal on their own! The brown sugar I ordered was very sweet, but neat to try. I don't think I would order one again. One of the kids combos came with a mini tart so you may want to snag some off your kids plate! A regular sized was $5.37 and had whipped cream on the side. I had two eggs sunny side up with rye toast and turkey bacon. The potatoes on the side were so so, but the eggs and bacon were delicious. That came in at $14.95 which is a bit steep for a 2 egg breakfast in my opinion. The kids enjoyed some eggs and French Toast with my wife. The portion of French Toast was very big and enough to feed more than one, unless your extremely hungry. The French Toast came in at $14.50 and the kids combo at $11.95. All in all we had a good breakfast, but I guess your paying for the ambiance of being by the water and/or their high rent? read more

The Only Review You Need To Read In our usual quest to try new places whenever my best friend and I get together, we went down to the waterfront in Annapolis, noticed this restaurant and decided this was the place worthy of our quest for nourishment. We were seated quickly and our order was taken pretty quickly. I was craving Eggs Benedict, but I noticed they had a Crab Cake Benedict on their menu. It looked intriguing so I ordered it - hoping that wasn't too out-of-line to order crab while in Maryland. I have to admit, I was slightly disappointed. What was missing was the salty taste of Canadian bacon to bring out the flavor of the egg, hollandaise sauce and crab cake meat. In the place of ham was a tomato slice which didn't really bring anything special to the meal. You would think with everything contained within, it would be an explosion of flavor, but honestly it all was a little bland. I had to keep adding salt all over it to get any distinct taste. The home fries were fine. My friend was impressed with the marinara sauce that came with his grilled cheese sandwich, with a chocolate milk on the side. And no, my best friend is not seven years old; he's a grown man (don't hate because I still eat peanut butter & jelly sandwiches when I take my lunch to work). We agreed that we would definitely be up to coming here again for another meal because there were several other items on the menu that sounded pretty good. And a shout out to our server Taylor who was super friendly, had an awesome smile and was very attentive with anything we needed. read more

Can't complain. We decided to go there cause I had heard so much about it, and it lives up to it's reputation. So glad we did. The menu is vast really does give you a variety of options for breakfast. I started with a bloody Mary, which was very good. Then I got the California club omelette, it was big and filled with to brim with goodies and topped with guacamole. My partner got Chicken and french toast. This item can with homemade hot sauce and syrup. My partner could not stop raving about this dish. My server was very nice and responsive. Seating is ok, especially for Annapolis. Parking is mostly a miss. This restaurant should be saved to your must go list, I promise you won't be disappointed. read more

This was my first time at Iron Rooster in years! The food was good, but for some reason, there was a huge disconnect with getting our omelet order right. We ordered the California omelet with turkey bacon and the chicken sandwich. The food took FOREVER to come, and when it finally did, there was crab meat all over the omelet. We don't eat crab and none of the omelets come with crab, so no idea how that happened. A while later, a server brought the plate back, but this time it was a wrap, not an omelet. The 3rd time was the charm! I also got a mimosa, which seemed like mostly orange juice. I'd skip that next time. Despite the mix up, customer service was good. We went able to make a reservation and it was pretty busy, but we were seated right away at a small table for 2. read more

My husband and I went here for a late breakfast today. Despite the fact that it was very busy, my husband and I were seated immediately. Our waiter came promptly to take our drink orders. My husband ordered the chicken and waffles. He prefers when chicken and waffles is served with chicken on the bone, but despite the fact that these were chicken tenders, he said they were seasoned very well, and he really liked the gravy that came with his order. I ordered the Belgian waffle with chocolate chips, Nutella, and bananas. The waffle was huge. The only thing I can say is that they were very heavy-handed with the Nutella. For some that is definitely not an issue, but I found it very overpowering. I did appreciate that the banana slices helped to cut through the richness of the Nutella. Had I realized how much Nutella I would have, I definitely would not have asked for the chocolate chips. They got lost in everything! Atmosphere was very welcoming, and the restaurant was clean. If you are in the city dock portion of Annapolis, you should definitely check this restaurant out. However, be warned... Can be a little tricky. read more

Went to this hidden gem the morning of my friends' wedding. It's a lot bigger than I expected. It has an outdoor section and two floors. The decor was simple but with a lot of natural light. Our server Chloe was the sweetest! She was very knowledgeable and accommodating. I ordered the orange juice and the chicken and French toast with the side of Mac. The orange juice was so fresh I almost drank it in one sitting. The chicken and French toast were so good as well. The mac first came out with Unmelted cheese on top and I was a bit concerned, but once I bit into it, I was unexpectedly surprised. The chicken tasted good alone, but once you dipped it in the hot sauce provided, it really set it off! The french toast was good! I just wish there was more of it. My friend has the breakfast quesadilla and she ate in silence because it was so good. In all, I definitely feel like Iron Rooster is a must-stop for brunch in Annapolis! read more

Very mediocre spot in the dead center of the main Annapolis water front area. I would give it another try if there wasn't anything else I was craving. My husband and I tried the chicken and waffle from here. It was mediocre- slight dry fried chicken and pretty good waffle. However, we both have low tolerance for dry fried chicken...especially in the DMV area that is known to have great friend chicken and waffle places. The service was pretty good, not TOO slow. Ambiance is casual. We ordered for take out and ate by the water. The restaurant is located in the dead center of the touristy area of Annapolis, so Iron Rooster might be one of the better options in the area read more

Food was amazing!! We got the smoked salmon avocado toast, steak and eggs, the breakfast burrito and the seasonal pumpkin pop tart.

Went here for breakfast. The food was excellent, as was the coffee. We sat outside, but we weren't cold because the heaters. It was gorgeous. We will definitely be back. We also got the roostart, which is what they are known for, and it was awesome. We got it to go because we were so full and then toasted it in the oven for 7 minutes later that day. Yum! read more

Oh how I wish I wasn't writing such a poor review. I'm only giving this low of a rating because of the rude and blatant actions by the manager. The food & service were most certainly up to par. I arrived alone for a solo brunch before I went to the mall. Parking is scarce so if you do t mind paying to park then you should be fine. Otherwise you will be circling the surrounding areas forever trying to find parking. So I park about a block away and walked over. I was greeted by the hostess as the manager stood close over her shoulder. I told the hostess that I was alone and only needed a seat for myself. She walked away and manager chimed in with I'll probably be sitting at the bar. The hostess returned, signaling me to come follow her so I walked around and followed her to the bar area. The bar was pretty full so she directed me to a tall bar side table with two chairs. I thanked her and sat where my server came and greeted me. Now here is where my experience went sideways. The manager comes around with two individuals a few minutes later. As he passes my table he says to me "Next time ima need you to sit at the bar, these tables are reserved." I looked up at the table directly beside me and noticed an older woman (who looked like the manager) sitting alone enjoying her cocktail. So now I feel like I'm being singled out unfairly. My reply was " I was directed to sit here at this table." Where he then replied "I'm sure you were, but next time just sit at the bar." At this point I'm trying not to overreact because I feel like that's what he wanted me to do. So I just replied with "How about you notify your employees of this same rule." As I ignored his snarl and kept scrolling through my phone. I wanted to get up and leave. But, since I had paid for 2 hours of parking, and there were no other food choices I wanted i decided to stay. Needless to say I won't be returning to this particular location. The food was good (pancake lacked flavor) and the service was good. But the manager needs to work on himself. read more
