Wonderful staff, food, and atmosphere. 100% recommend! I suggest checking the waitlist on their website though

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.) read more

Rooster - Downtown - Brisket slopper no egg - Creperies Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

For five years the Rooster was my favorite breakfast spot as I came to downtown twice monthly. Haven't been to St Louis in four years and was excited to take my family to the restaurant for what I considered the best breakfast in downtown! Today, we were promptly greeted by our server and off to a great start. It took 36 minutes to get our food and we were short one meal. The server said the veggies were cooking (no veggies in the meal) and after 15 minutes I complained to the manager. I emphasized we have a flight and need her to be able to eat. He pretty much blew me off and stated he would apply a credit to my bill. And dipped out. No discount, another 10 minutes and she finally got her food. Biscuits were like rocks on my meal and her eggs ordered over hard were runny as can be. We cut our losses and dipped out. Very disappointing! I hope it was a one off for what I have long considered a premier spot to eat when downtown. read more

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. read more

Rooster - Downtown - Banana nut French toast is - Creperies Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

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. read more

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!! read more

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. read more

Rooster - Downtown - Farmers Breakfast - Creperies Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

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. read more

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. read more

Rooster - Downtown - Supposedly, it's a fruit salad! It is just a small bowl of blueberries, very disappointing! - Creperies Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

Really solid breakfast spot in St. Louis. The place had a nice, easygoing vibe and felt like somewhere locals actually go, which is always a good sign. Shoutout to our server Brandon--super friendly, on top of everything, and just made the whole experience smooth. He provided local recs as well. We tried the carrot cake pancakes, the Mo. Made sausage omelet, and the Hammy Bene. The pancakes were probably my favorite--really good flavor and not overly sweet. The omelet was delicious, and the Hammy Bene hit the spot too. I also got the chocolate bar mocha latte. Would definitely come back if I'm in the area again. read more

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. read more

It's been years since I visited Rooster and was excited to return. My husband had the opportunity to go yesterday morning and the whole family went again today. It seems they are severely understaffed. I hate to even say it, but it really impacts the service. When we walked in the restaurant had a really great vibe, however there's a sign to wait to be seated. We waited a few minutes before being acknowledged or seated. My husband it was the same way the day prior and he actually had to walk in to get someone to seat him. As we ate our breakfast it increasingly got busier and more people continue to wait to be seated for extended periods of time. My husband ordered the apple pie French toast and it was equally as good the second time. It's decadent, sweet and you swear you'll have a few cavities afterwards, but every bite is worth it. My daughter ordered the Nutella crepe and seemed pretty satisfied although sh don't finish it. I ordered the breakfast burrito. The tortilla was a little soggy, but the contents inside had really delightful flavor. The salsa verde was on the side and being from California I'm used to authentic salsa verde. I wanted to like it, but I think it was rancid. Something didn't taste right so I opted for the Cholula. It wasn't worth complaining about anything because again it was obvious the staff was doing the best they could given the circumstances. If you're looking for a good vibe, family friendly and plenty of seating this place is a good option. The food is decent and I would say overall a good value for the price. Right now, just expect slower service overall. read more

So much potential! The food was great, except the sausage was burnt and the biscuits were too crunchy. Gravy was yummy and the potatoes were great. Otherwise it would have been great! Super busy on Mother's Day, but got seats at the bar and service wasn't bad. read more

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. read more

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! read more

We came here on a Tuesday morning while on vacation, as our friend highly recommended trying Rooster. We were seated quickly. Our server seemed very overwhelmed and it appeared that they were severely understaffed for the amount of customers coming in. We probably should've left when we realized this. Service was terrible. Our food took a solid hour to come out and when it did, only 2/3 of the dishes came out so I ended up waiting an additional 10 minutes for my plate while everyone dug in. No one checked on us until we flagged our waiter down to pay the bill. The food was okay. The Croque Monsieur was weird, Biscuits and Gravy was blah. The highlight was the stuffed French toast though - it was very delicious. read more

I'm catching up on my long-neglected yelping duties. I last visited about 6 months ago and per usual, there was a line out the door and service was relatively slow once inside. That being said, the food is always good and the service is always decent. When staying in downtown St. Louis, it doesn't feel like you can get better than this in good walking distance from where we stay annually. read more

This place has gone downhill. I had been coming here for over a decade and make it in from Chicago at least once a year. This place used to be so refined and traditional but with some unique culinary flare. Now, it's just been turned into American slop. We will never be back. The image i provided shows exactly why. The crepe used to be the show piece here....look at this mess. It's just covered in sugar and canned strawberries. We couldn't even find the crepe when it came out. This used to be fresh berries with just the perfect amount of Nutella in it, beautifully displayed....has become what a grade schooler would make for himself with no parental guidance. Even my kids were disgusted and disappointed read more

Rooster was such a great find! The decor is playful and full of rooster-themed touches that make the atmosphere fun and inviting. The menu looked incredible, and I couldn't resist trying the Maple Bourbon Bread Pudding with a side of berries. It was absolutely delicious--rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The portion was generous (honestly too big for me), and I wish I could have taken the rest to go, but I was headed to work. Still, it was worth every bite! I would definitely recommend this spot and can't wait to return during my stay in St. Louis. read more

Great Spot for a Breakfast Meeting! I met a mentor at Rooster in downtown STL for a morning meeting, and it was a nice choice. The location is central, and street parking was easy to find at that hour. The atmosphere was relaxed yet vibrant, perfect for conversation. I ordered the French toast, which was perfectly cooked with just the right balance of sweetness. My mentor had the hash and said it was hearty and flavorful. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and had a great attitude, which made the experience even better.

Had breakfast here this morning while in town for the weekend, and it was great! The restaurant is decorated really fun (even more fun if you're a chicken lover like I am). The details in the decor like the lamps over the bar top being eggs just makes it even cuter. The food was great, we got the lemon blueberry crepes, biscuits & gravy and sourdough toast with a couple scrambled eggs. The food came out pretty quickly and tasted great! Their sourdough was REALLY delicious huge. By the looks of the line when we were done, I'm assuming everyone around here has already discovered this cute little place but if you haven't yet, I'd definitely try it! read more

My best friend and I visited St. Louis for the first time and rooster was on the list. It was walking distance and it was a beautiful day, but the weight was absolutely ridiculous. We joined the waitlist on Yelp before we left and still had to wait a while to be seated. We were told they were short staffed and it only seemed like one person was operating the seating. We eventually sat at the bar and ordered our meal. I ordered the breakfast burrito and it was really good. My friend ordered French toast, eggs and bacon. The drinks were also refreshing as well. The staff were super attentive and took care of us. I will say it was a delicious meal and we did enjoy your time but the wait was a huge factor in this experience. I would absolutely return, but I would have to call and understand the wait time before making that commitment again. The service was so fast that we were shocked that we were in and out so fast. Overall, give it a shot, but just in case grab a snack so you don't get hangry while you wait. read more

Take a while to get served. Even on a day that isn't busy. But the food is good, the drinks are good. Just the wait is my issue. From start, you have to wait to be seated even if the place is empty mostly. Saves time seating myself, then once you order, it normally is supposed to take 15 minutes (from what is told to the customer by the server) but the time it takes from ordering to prep to the food being in front of me, was 30 Minutes. Made me late for work. I usually stop in this spot for a quick bite to eat and pick me up before work. But I may have to start going an hour or two early just to make sure I can eat in peace. Other than this, the place is flawless in their decor, and execution. This is a prime date and brunch spot nonetheless, just make sure you got some time to waste! read more

Luckily we were in St. Louis on a Tuesday morning. We've heard this place can get super busy on weekends. The hostess seating us was not friendly. Everyone else that we came in contact with was extremely friendly & helpful & Gabe recommendations when asked. In my party we ordered coffee (which was great) Mo Made Crepe, Chicken Crepe & Rooster Slinger. All were extremely good. The restaurant was spacious with nice decor. Like I said we went on a Tuesday morning so the ambiance was chill. Wish there was a Rooster's were we live. read more

Love the vibe of this place - great decor and big and open. We were seated immediately on a Saturday morning. Great coffee and good food.

I wanted to love it I really did. I had heard great things about the Rooster and have been wanting to try it for a long time. It is very cute and cozy inside. However, the wait time for someone to seat us was a bit long and then the server seemed annoyed we were there. It was not busy at all. Once we did get seated, it took over 15 minutes for anyone to get our drink order. The service overall was just not great. We both asked for customizations on our orders and they were able to accommodate us. However, again the service was not good. Two separate servers tried to bring us food that was for a different table two separate times. Once we did get our food it was pretty good but not exceptional. The taste of the French toast was good, but somehow it was dry. The farmers platter was good, pretty standard. I would consider giving Rooster another chance. Maybe it was a bad day or I might try the other location. read more

On our way to St. Louis, we stopped by Rooster after it was highly recommended. One great feature is that you can go online to check the wait time and save your place in line. I only waited about five minutes, which was perfect since we'd been warned there might be a long wait. The decor is super cute, and they have adorable drinking glasses that add a charming touch. Despite being a bit short-staffed, with part of the restaurant unoccupied, the service was still excellent. I sat at the bar and enjoyed a delicious vegetable skillet - those potatoes are to die for - and all at a very reasonable cost. The staff was friendly and accommodating, making it a delightful and budget-friendly stop on our trip. Highly recommend! read more

I arrived during the operating hours posted on Apple Maps. Upon entry the manager Alisha or Aliyah says they are closed. When I informed her of the posted time she states well that's only listed on one website, which is Apple Maps used by millions, and says I didn't do it. Did not so much as offer an apology or a water as I drove as considerable distance in the rain. Worst manager I've encountered in a while.

The biscuits were amazing! They were soft, but also had the perfect crust crunch. I enjoyed the tomato soup as well; probably the best tomato soup I've ever had. My friend enjoyed her banana nut French toast. This meal included Pecans, pistachios, pumpkin seeds, and maybe some more hidden nuts. My other friend enjoyed her b.e.l.t. she wasn't able to finish the dish. However, the HOMEMADE mayo sauce on the sandwich stole the show. As well as. The HOMEMADE ketchup. Everything on the menu is homemade and it is clear that each dish is culinarily studied to enhance the dish. In Contrast, our server (lady) seemed quite asleep while serving us. We could barely hear her, and she wasn't very present. I'm not sure if she had a late night, but she gave us our food and condiments in a slow manner. I'm not sure if that's the pace of the restaurant, but I compared her to the other male waiter and he was communicating with his guest in a delightful manner. read more
