    Rooster Chicken and Buttermilk Fried Chicken & Waffles
    Tina B.

    Absolutely worth the drive. The Rooster hot and crunchy grouper delivered an explosion of flavor--perfectly crisp on the outside with a fresh, flaky bite inside. Every element worked together, and the balance of heat and crunch kept you going back for more. This is one of those dishes you don't forget--I'd easily drive an hour just to have it again. The chicken and waffles didn't miss either. The chicken was unbelievably crunchy with a golden, well-seasoned crust, and stayed juicy inside. My mom couldn't stop talking about it the entire meal--that kind of reaction says everything. On top of the food, it's a cute, chic spot with excellent service. Jenna was especially accommodating and made sure my elderly mom and friend were comfortable, which really stood out. If you're looking for bold flavor, texture done right, and something that actually stands out, this place delivers.

    Famous Shrimp & Grits

    This place is a the end of a strip mall and it's a cute little restaurant. The biscuits are delicious. The jalapeño sausage gravy is soooo good and the fried green tomatoes were amazing. I think they could do a couple things better like my son said the strawberry French toast was way too sweet. Maybe because they say it in a plate of caramel sauce. And the fruit was not fresh or it was soaked in something sweet as well which made the bread soggy. I think the savory dishes were better than the sweet. The shrimp and grits were good as well. I didn't care for the blueberry lemon pancakes either. Our server was nice. Overall pretty good experience.

    A little hole in the wall located in a strip mall with parking being a little tough. There is a disabled parking space right in front however maybe a litle challenging given the slop of the space. This restaurant is very cozy with limited inside seating, there is additional outdoor seating available. I arrived mid morning and was able to secure a 2 top table indoors again - seating is very close together and you can literally reach over to the next table. Complimentary biscuits are served but we declined - we didnt want to waste food since we do not eat a large breakfast. Our breakfast tab was over $40 and felt it was a bit expensive since we only ordered - the Rooster Waffle, the Two Natural Egg breakfast and 2 beverages. The waffle and egg's are average at best but the noteworthy item was the Hashbrown Tater which is like a Hashbrown muffin and very good. Friendly staff even though our server was not that great ( even over heard another table tell her that her service needed work) Coke proucts are served but sadly no Coke Zero and the Root Beer is IBC

    Of course I was brought here by Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives and it was amazing. We got seated very quickly, which I was concerned about because the place is on the small side, but no problems. Our server was super fun and friendly. The place is small but very well decorated and there's a lot to look at, which was cool. We ordered the Texas Reuben and a Curried Chicken Salad. The curried chicken was delicious but the Reuben was to die for. It was so delicious. The fries were also incredible. Then we made a very wise decision to try the Hummingbird cake. It was like carrot cake had a baby with a pumpkin roll and that baby weighed 100 pounds! I was so full it hurt but it was a great meal. We even picked up some homemade dog treats! If I could change one thing, I wish they had fountain diet drinks. They have a few fountain drinks but the diet ones are in cans. It's absolutely not a big deal and I would go back any time!

    I think I have eaten out at every brunch place in Naples as a dear friend lives there and we meet up for brunch often. So imagine my delight when she says, "let's try the Rooster" which has been on my list for awhile now. We went on a Friday morning. It was a chilly Florida day but given the size of the place we decided to sit outside. Our server was over in a flash suggesting things and then he tells me they don't have a liquor license . . .and just as I was groaning about my lack of a Bloody Mary, he says they can make one with wine as the alcohol and I won't know the difference? Really? Well you know what? he was right! We had a large sized group so we got to taste a wide variety of the menu. I had the chilaquiles with shrimp that had the fluffiest scrambled eggs on them that I have ever eaten! I would go back for that dish alone. And ask for a side of bacon as you definitely get your money's worth! I bet there were 5 pieces of bacon on that plate! We also decided to share a sweet dish so we all got a bite of the Banana Brulee french toast which was heaven on a plate! Be still my taste buds! Others at the table at the avocado toast, shrimp and grits, eggs Benedict, sausage and gravy and the chicken and waffles. Everyone said at the end of the meal that The Rooster was now our fav place in Naples. Know before you go that this place isn't fancy. If you want to use the restrooms you'll be hiking around the building to the one seat restroom in the back of the place, but that's just part of the charm! I will definitely be back! What a find!

    Chicken and waffle with a side of scrammbled eggs
    Eli N.

    Solid. Great food. Great service. The chicken and waffles with a side of bacon, damn, it was good. Leave the pepper jelly sauce on the chicken. The place is packed. The speaks to the food and service. The place is small, very limited parking. Worth the wait. Make sure you don't need to go to the bathroom or you'll have to walk around the whole building to get to it.

    Carolina BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich on a GF biscuit

    Gluten free biscuits! Normally that would be enough but the service is outstanding and the food is world class. All in a strip mall in Naples. Go if you are in the area (and go out of your way if your not) and bring your dog.

    Reuben Sandwich
    Matthew O.

    Found this place because of Diner, Drive-Ins, and Dives and was glad that I did! Super friendly staff that were very helpful with navigating the menu. The portion sizes here are massive! I got the Reuben Sandwich and it was huge. Layers upon layers of corned beef all between two slices of rye bread. The inclusion of coleslaw helps to cut through the richness of the sandwich. The only slight issues I had was that the bread got soggy too quickly. So about halfway through, the sandwich was falling apart. But other than that, the flavors were excellent and the restaurant gives up such friendly and good vibes :)

    The food made our head spin, the service was top notch, the ambience was an excellent experience of a small diner. If you want food that will make your tastebuds explode, look no further humans!

    Bloody Mary
    Teddy M.

    We came to snuff the rooster and we succeeded! What a brunch experience! The Bloody Mary kicked things off and it both fulfilled our thirst and our appetite! It comes with a big piece of candied bacon, a piece of pickled okra and a jalapeño stuffed olive. The spice level was nice and mild. We wanted to try as much as we could so we played plate roulette. We had to go with the Texas Rueben, the blackened snapper benne and an order of biscuits and jalapeño gravy. The ingenuity and quality of these dishes was next level! Even the hash browns are cooked like a casserole in a cupcake tin! The quality of the meat on the Texas Rueben was just perfect. Smokey with just enough fat and topped with sautéed onions and coleslaw. The fries like the hash browns are next level! Thick cut beef tallow fries make everything all right! The biscuits and gravy were so indulgent and though it is jalapeño gravy it's not too spicy, in fact nothing was overly spicy. The snapper benne was made with fresh fish and went perfectly with the lemony hollandaise sauce. We also had to go full circle and get a huge piece of Mama's hummingbird cake. The server was friendly and attentive even though she was being run ragged. Not a lot of seating inside or out so there is a good chance you're waiting. Absolutely can't wait to come back and slip into another self induced food coma!

    I went to The Rooster for lunch with my husband and daughter. I ordered their Curried Chicken Salad. My husband got their Fried Chicken Sandwich. My daughter got their Short Rib Benedict special. My husband and daughter liked their meals. I thought my meal was just ok, just too much mayo in my chicken salad. We sat on their patio outside to eat, which was nice. Our server was nice and personable. Overall, pretty decent experience.

    Chicken and waffles
    Holly P.

    Visiting Naples and stopped by The Rooster for breakfast on the way out. It was so delicious I just wish we went here the first day because this would have been where we ate every morning. I had the pimento cheese toast and my husband had chicken and waffles. Both were outstanding! Oh and the biscuits with jam, next level. So yummy! Next time in Naples we'll be back.

    Decent boba with an anxiety attack for a menu. The boba isn't bad, it's not the best boba I've ever…read morehad but that's more because I probably ordered wrong on the kiosk. Service was fast and it felt clean and the large boba cups are giving me life. Doesn't taste fake or soapy; kinda mid but again that's probably on me for what I put in to order. Okay so the tea- Love the kiosk option because I'm a bundle of anxiety; short lived because they've got enough on the menu to fill a novel. It would've been better if their kiosk menu was a bit more idk consistent? Basically there's five different versions of every boba option spread out in every drink category. They all look basically the same? Some have the same photos, so I'm not sure if it's the same thing or if they input the same drink because they wanted you to find it on other groups. I've dealt with intense menus before but this was a LOT. Until I can understand the menu enough to know I actually ordered what I think I ordered this place is gonna sit in boba limbo. Genuinely not sure if it sucks or I'm just confused. Order at your own risk

    Located inside the food court of the mall, this was the closest boba tea shop to where I was, so I…read moreended up here for my inevitable boba craving. I tried the rose oolong milk tea ($7 with oat milk) and enjoyed it! The boba pearls were high quality and the perfect chewy texture. I appreciate that they have nondairy milk options, although it's a $0.75 up charge. The major downside is the "medium" size is only around 12 ounces and extremely small. Not worth $7. Ordering is a smooth process using a kiosk. My drink was ready in minutes despite there being a line when I went on a Sunday evening. They also have a 10% discount for students and mall employees.
