Probably my new favorite breakfast spot in the Cartersville/ Emerson / Acworth Area. If you have friends or family visiting out of town - take them to this hidden gem. The outside does not match how clean, kind, and welcoming this place is on the inside. A wonderful representation of what Cartersville is all about - Soul & Southern Hospitality at its finest. Sometimes it not about how fancy or expensive a place is but the true quality and soul. We will be visiting this place again soon- Thank you to the Rooster Shack team- yall delivered and we are thankful, cheers. read more

Rooster Shack - ROOSTER BASKET & breakfast burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cartersville, Georgia

I've been looking for a breakfast spot since I moved here a couple years ago. So sick of nagels bagels & I feel like there's just not very many options especially good ones. Found this place about a month ago, I've been in more days since than not. Easy to call in food & pick up. Cute casual inside. Everyone that works there is sooo nice especially the tattooed young guy. They always have my food ready quickly. I've had a few things from there now & NOTHING has disappointed. Great menu selection. Prices are fair. Literally obsessed with this place. read more

Very clean restaurant. Staff were very welcoming. Food made to order. Parking lot small. This place is a hidden gem. White gravy is tasteless. But they have several other options that you can choose from for lunch or breakfast. They close a 2 pm daily read more

Great service & great food! Place is warm & welcoming, like grandma's kitchen. Food was so fresh & just downright delicious. I don't think I can ever eat chicken fried steak from a place like IHOP ever again. read more

Rooster Shack - STEAK BISCUIT /GRAVY & scrambled with cheese - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cartersville, Georgia

Visiting town and went here for the first time. We will definitely be back. A few blocks away from the main square but worth the trip. Cozy, clean, friendly family establishment. Quick to seat and clean. Three of us this trip and I ordered the Rooster plate which consisted of an open biscuit with two sausage patties, two eggs and smothered in white gravy with Rooster rounds (hashbrowns). I got my rounds on the side. Wife got the pancake breakfast with 3 pancakes, 2 eggs, bacon and rounds. My son ordered the chicken biscuit with rounds. My rooster plate had great flavor. A very nice mix of items. The wife's pancake breakfast was delicious. Thin and light pancakes. Eggs cooked perfectly too. My son's chicken biscuit was very good as well. Flaky and tasty. Overall a great little joint for breakfast. Highly recommend if you're in the area. read more

Rooster Shack doesn't look like much from the outside, but when you walk in, you've got two dining room options that are very clean. I noticed a health score of 98. We were seated quickly and got our drinks quickly. The service was fast and courteous. I ordered the chicken biscuit with cheese and egg, and it was great. Chicken was perfectly fried and the biscuit was among the best I've had. Loved the place. They have tap-to-pay, making check-out very quick. We rode our e-bikes here from the Winding Waters RV Resort, and it was very easy to get here on mostly back roads. read more

What a great meal! My husband wanted breakfast and I wanted lunch. He had a breakfast burrito and I had the Daphne burger. When I tell you it was the best burger I have had in years, I mean it!! My husband raved about the burrito as well. The restaurant is family owned and the service was great!! The young girl serving tables was particularly amazing!! She was on top of everything and seemed to multitask flawlessly. Next time I'm in C'ville, I'll definitely be visiting here again! read more

It's true that hole-in-the-wall places have the best food. Rooster Shack is in a small, older, unpretentious building with excellent food. Nothing fancy like chain diners are offering, just beloved old classic breakfast and lunch items prepared perfectly and coming to the table hot. Service was very friendly and attentive. Perfect place to go if you want great food in a casual, relaxed atmosphere. read more

Simple environment with great food! The biscuits are light and fluffy. The fried chicken biscuit is worth coming for.

Food and service were excellent. Great offbeat place for breakfast and lunch. Reasonably priced and value.

The food here is amazing. Such a friendly family that runs this little diner. If you were familiar with the old Whistle Stop that was in Cartersville, the Rooster Shack is in the old location. All of the food I have had here is absolutely delicious. They are open 7-2 each day except Sunday when it is 8-2. Great addition to the breakfast and lunch scene in Cartersville. Best grits I have eaten in my life!!!! I love grits and these are the bomb!! read more

Today my Son and myself went to the Rooster Shack for the 1st time and I have to say that we were very impressed with the size of our burgers. I got the Charm burger with cole slaw and he got the same with just chili and cheese. The burgers were cooked to perfection and were very tasty, Cooked on Texas toast was a delightful twist. The fries were a little undercooked is the reason for the 4 star and Im sure they would have made it better but I hate to ask once it's served. The place is basically a burger place but I understand their breakfast is fantastic so I will have to try them out for that! Do yourself a flavor and try this hidden gem a try. I think you will be happy you did! read more

Rooster Shack - Chicken Biscuit and coffee - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cartersville, Georgia

Everything we ordered is good. Definitely get a fried chicken biscuit! We will definitely be back to try more menu items

It's a hole in the wall but the breakfast burrito was amazing! Great cup of coffee too!! It was big enough to satisfy our appetites but not so huge we were stuffed! read more

This is a nice local spot for breakfast. Prices are on par and actually by today's standards very fair. I had the biscuit gravy with country fried steak. The biscuit was a perfect size about 3" and it came with 2 pieces of steak. The steak is a fried from frozen bought variety but so is about everyone else in this business. It was good but not great. The biscuit was very good and complimented the steak and sausage gravy well. The gravy was ample for the portion and may or may not have been from a mix. It was very creamy and good with small pieces of sausage . The seasoning was on point for me and I didn't need to add salt, only a little extra black pepper. The coffee was hot and strong . Service was in point with just one waiter but he hustled and did a good job of servicing the tables . This was a Tuesday visit and I came at opening so it was not extremely busy. The ambiance is of an old country diner which is appropriate as that is what it is. Lots of locals here and most folks seemed to know each other which is a good sign . Overall I would definitely come here again and try other fare from the menu. read more

Loved this small but delicious little cafe. Family and locally owned, everyone there was attentive and helpful. Clean tables, utensils, glasses, and restroom. Hard working people who made a wonderful chicken biscuit and gravy. The rounds were great too and the gravy was tasty. I loved it so much I bought something for my husband who couldn't come. Refills were free and plentiful. Service was friendly and efficient, I will def be back, but be warned- the door to enter is NOT on the back lot, but in the large parking lot where it looks like it is drive through. So glad they let me in or would have missed out on a great breakfast! read more

Rooster Shack - Chicken biscuit, rooster rounds, and a side of gravy. The biscuit was large! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cartersville, Georgia

Met friends for breakfast on a Saturday morning in Cartersville after driving from south of Atlanta and Nashville. Very friendly folks and food was great.

This is an awesome and affordable spot for breakfast! I have traveled a LOT and I believe these are the absolute best biscuits I have ever had! No jam or jelly added!

Really good coffee too! We had a small wait on Saturday morning but well worth it! Great service! This is a must stop!! Sorry no pics we were hungry and dug in! read more

This place has the best burgers in Cartersville. However you have to get there before 2pm. As they are breakfast and lunch spot.

Delicious biscuits and friendly service. We stop there not for ambiance but good food in a hurry

It's basically seat yourself family restaurant. the menu is not very big which I personally like because I'm not a fan of a ton of options. They only serve breakfast and lunch. I got the Philly cheese steak and my daughter got the cheese burger. The Philly cheesesteak was very good. My daughter liked her cheeseburger. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying their breakfast food. read more

Excellent breakfast food. Friendly and fast service . Would definitely return when back in the area read more

Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious breakfast! I got the chicken biscuit and cheese grits. They were both DELICIOUS! Everything was seasoned perfectly.

The service was great and the servers were very attentive. Definitely stop by if you can! read more
