    Shakshuka Slinger

    This place was super tasty! Staff were friendly and amazingly attentive. Food was good. I thought the shakshuka slinger was delicious. Would totally come back someday!

    Brisket slopper no egg
    Sam O.

    Loved it so much the first morning I went back again! This time treated the brisket slopper and it was great! Highly recommend. Service was a bit slow; had to ask for a bunch of things (more coffee, refills, etc.)

    I should've checked the reviews before coming here but service was incredibly slow. The food was fine - the French toast was perfectly cooked, the fruit salad was washed and clean (but provided little variety, just grapes blueberries and a green apples), and the egg and potatoes were very salty. Since my food took a while to come out, I anticipated that it would be hot, but most of it was luke warm. The decorations inside are on-theme featuring lots of roosters, as statues, paintings, and vinyl. It's a relaxed atmosphere for sure.

    It was a busy morning at Roosters Downtown but the service was great. We were seated way faster than I expected to be. The server was polite and efficient even though the place was crowded. The sign of an experienced wait staff! For me, the food was just so-so. The biscuit was a bit dry and the potatoes over cooked and greasy. The dining area was loud. I wish restaurants would pay more attention to sound when designing their spaces. But I do love the paintings on the walls!!

    First time here and dont know if we will be back. There was a 35-40 min wait, no biggie. Then we were seated. It was hot inside the restaurant, very hot. So hot our waiter was visible sweating, and we were sweating just sitting there. Not sure if this place had air-conditioning or if it was broken but it was hot. They should have had fans.. I don't know if they were short staffed or just slow moving restaurant, but it took forever for everything. But the food finally came and it was good. But not worth sitting ans sweating and taking 3 hours from walk in to walk out. And I think it was over priced. 3 meals and our bill was close to 80.00. But if u have nothing better to do and want to wait and sweat this might be ur place to try out.

    We had a large group and they got us in fast at a community table. They warned us that food was taking 50 minutes to come out as they were backed up. Waiter was friendly but haggled. Food came out much quicker than warned even though mine came out 5 minutes later than the other 7 in our party. My only real complaint was that the food was just not that great. Potatoes were overcooked and tastes strange, eggs also had a strange flavor. Chicken sausage was decent and toast was good. But overall disappointed.

    This location provides a great atmosphere. It's not too busy and the servers are always friendly. The food is great, and always delivers . The service is fast and efficient.

    Again the food tasted well but it wasn't hot at all... not even warm. Also they have a server, i want to say his name was Justin. He has the personality of a potato... Probably my last time visiting.

    Tasty for breakfast, friendly service, and equally friendly patrons. Central bar area, tables surrounding it, high ceilings and windows, and of course, a metal rooster sculpture at the front. Apple crumble pancakes were very good. Pork sausage patty was large and dense, not my favorite. 3.5 stars but rounding up seems reasonable.

    Bread pudding
    Madison F.

    Needed a place for breakfast and this was perfect. I got the chicken sausage scramble and my mom got ham and Swiss scramble. Both were good. Loved the potatoes that came with it. Definitely a lot of food. Friends and family got crepes and omelettes which they seemed to enjoy. We shared the bread pudding as a table which was a good sweet treat. Also shared Turkish latte and cinnamon latte. Turkish latte was good with the coconut milk. Cinnamon latte was just an average latte with oatmilk. The glasses they had with the chicken and egg on it were adorable. Our server was very polite and attentive.

    Popped in for a quick bite, the food took a bit of time to arrive but once our plates were dropped we began to dig in. Our server was helpful and she had a contagious smile. The space felt inviting and open, I was surprised that more people were not dining but it was a Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Glad we sort of had the restaurant to ourselves. Note they have a bar... and the mimosa was delightful.

    Supposedly, it's a fruit salad! It is just a small bowl of blueberries, very disappointing!
    Shannon L.

    Since when is a bowl of blueberries and grapes a fruit salad? This cost me four dollars, not including the tax! The service was polite, though the server had to repeat themselves due to talking quietly. The noise level is loud because lots of people talking.

    The only reason I am recommending this place is because of the food which was honestly 4 stars but the front of the house is extremely poorly ran. It took almost 20 minutes before being seated and we were ignored for 30 min before we questioned the only waitress that was walking around. We finally pointed out that we had been waiting so long to the woman who passed by us several times before being told she didn't notice us at all until we said something. We decided to win her over with kindness rather than being upset, difficult, and complaining. She opened up and was much more friendly after a few visits but her attention to the table was lax at best. She could have been more observant, but maybe she had a lot on her mind and/or was having a bad morning. Still no excuse when you represent the establishment. All that being said, the food was amazingly good and well made. I saw reviews about the food being tasteless or not well seasoned. That is a problem with restaurants and that is why there is salt and pepper on the table. Once salted to each person's tastes, the flavors were there. This is NOT the fault of the kitchen but people who don't understand food service. Still, all in all, I would recommend the Rooster. Our problem was with this specific location and haven't tried the others. Maybe the front of the house is better run at the other locations but to say there is room for improvement is fair at the least without trashing the place in general. This is why I gave 3 stars. Improve the front of the house attitudes and attention and it would be a solid four!

There were at least six other tables with friends and family just chatting which honestly led to a really nice sense of community which a lot of places in America don't have.

For my main course, I opted for the BBLT, which was an enormous sandwich filled with all the classic ingredients: bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, over-easy egg, and aioli. It was served on a wheat bun with breakfast potatoes, making it a hearty and satisfying meal to kickstart my day. We also shared a giant blueberry pancake, which was a complete meal in itself.

It had some on top though and the flavor was still great, just a bit dry. I should've gotten a bit of syrup on the side. I washed it down with an iced French toast latte that was crazy good so I ordered one to go. Finally my server was Molli and she was just perfect. Sweet, talkative, and attentive -- oh and to top it off she saved my butt after I left my credit card there. I hope she sees this because I appreciate her! The next two times I visited that week I was craving oatmeal and they delivered in an elevated fashion. Their banana walnut oatmeal is decadent. I love boring oatmeal at home but it doesn't have to be boring. Half & Half elevates this humble dish into an incredibly tasty experience. I can't get oatmeal at other places now! I washed it down with some OJ that was just alright. It doesn't taste like it's freshly squeezed in house like other breakfast spots in Clayton but it's hardly a complaint. I will visit this warm and cozy spot many times over.

The total came out to $30.82 for two items, which is already high, but I was willing to pay it as long as the order was right. When I dropped the order off, my friend took one sip of the drink and immediately said, "What is this?" It was clearly not a regular coffee. So I drove right back. When I told the employee she gave me the wrong drink, she insisted she made it correctly. My friend told me the regular coffee comes from the machine near the door with caramel added--yet the employee pointed to the latte machine and acted like that was the same thing. It wasn't. Not only did she get the drink wrong after all the clarification, but they didn't offer a refund, remake, apology, nothing. Just a I'm sorry after messing up the order I tried so hard to make clear. Please check your order before leaving this place. I couldn't taste the drink because it wasn't mine. This review is strictly about the customer service I experienced today--it was frustrating, dismissive, and completely avoidable. Customer Service was trash 0/10
