Omg, I've been having this restaurant on my must visit list due to all these reviews and it did not disappoint. The space is a lot smaller, hidden, but worth it. Focused on southern comfort food, we found the menu to have a lot to offer and the staff was amazing. Their biscuits are to die for. We loved the food. We want to come back and try more, def more during lunch. Can't imagine how packed it is for breakfast

Two Golden Brown Biscuits - highly recommend
Melinda N.

Ordered the biscuits, banana brûlée French toast, omelette, and rooster egg sandwich. The egg sandwich had very fluffy eggs. French toast was too sweet. Service was average-paced. Ice coffee was good 4 stars because too many flies. Even the kitchen looked like there were a lot of flies.

Shrimp & grits
Charles R.

Rooster was amazing! We had shrimp & grits which was very tasty and filling. We also had the peach French toast. So very well made. We loved it and will be back.

Wonderful! Fantastic food, service and ambience. I had the Rooster Benedict and hubby had the pimento cheese toast with eggs. Our server Abigail was top notch! If you do nothing else, or just take it home, the homemade hummingbird cake is to die for!

Brisket
Lloyd M.

Fantastic place for lunch. I had their renowned brisket and better than I even expected. The meat was good but also great combination of sauce and cheese. Lots of great and interesting flavors. I also substituted the cole slaw for fries, made it much more manageable and it was good slaw. I also enjoyed the fried green tomatoes, nice remoulade and well prepared.

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!

Shrimp and grits

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!

Famous Shrimp & Grits
Derinda C.

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.

I cannot say enough good things about The Rooster Food & Drink in Naples, Fl. When we first arrived around noon there was a line of people waiting to be seated because the restaurant is just that good!! In the scheme of things, we ended up not having to wait that long to be seated. They have an extensive menu of feel good food and many menu items can be made gluten free if they are not already and it is not a gluten free restaurant. They also have both gluten free biscuits and non gluten free biscuits and both incredible! I have to be gluten free and I was able to order The Rooster Benedict on a gluten free biscuit. Every morning they make their own lemon hollandaise sauce, in addition to, all of their other menu items. It also came with a hash brown muffin that was so delicious! I was in heaven that I could eat something like this and have it be so delicious at the same time!! My husband who is not gluten free ordered the biscuits and gravy breakfast and also ordered a side of brisket. He absolutely loved his meal too! I was also able to have some of the brisket which was so good as well! Our waiter was fabulous too! Not only was he so patient and kind but he was so knowledgeable about gluten, in addition to the chef, being very knowledgeable about what gluten was and what menu items I could have! It was so comforting to go to a restaurant and having this kindness and knowledge and deliciousness!! I loved the ambiance, decor and "warmness" of the place too!

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.

Jumbo Lump Crab Cake Benne
Abby C.

I took my dad here for Father's Day brunch and it was great! The interior is tiny so there is very limited seating but we went around 1pm and were able to sit right away. It was a little bit warm inside so you might find it uncomfortable if you spent a while waiting outside in the heat before sitting down. I had the crabcake benedict and it was amazing! The hush puppy muffins that come with the meals are delicious as well. We also had a pancake which was really yummy, but keep in mind the pancake style here is more thin and crispy than fluffy and moist. Also, the standard pancake batter is lemon flavored. There were a few issues with our order (brought over orange juice instead of apple juice and brought the wrong pancakes to our table) but they fixed both of those immediately and were apologetic. My dad also didn't like that his hush puppy was well done and they had no issues at all giving him a new one. Overall the service was great and the food was delicious! I would absolutely return.

While scrolling through some of the photos and reviews, I saw the stuff French toast and I was immediately in! We came on a Saturday morning and they were busy enough but not packed. We asked for their first available, which was outside. During summer it's a bit of a risk to sit outdoors, but it was in a covered area. They have a little side patio area, but a lot of the outdoor tables are randomly placed up against the building and in the walkway to accommodate additional guests. It's kind of weird when people that live in the building walk by as the walkways aren't very wide. The inside area of the restaurant is not very large. Our waitress was very friendly and welcoming. Even if she did spill a bit of coffee on me which she was apologetic for. My husband got the crab cake Benedict and I got the strawberry stuffed French toast. Absolutely loved everything! My husband's only note was that he did not like the corn inside crab cake. The cheesy hash browns were definitely a hit for us! The stuffed French toast was divine - basically desert! I like that the dish also came with eggs and bacon! The iced coffee was pretty good as well. Overall, this was a great experience with the exception of the weird outside seating arrangement. 8/10 recommend!

From the moment we walked in, the hostesses and manager made us feel welcome and had us seated right away. Our server, Angel, was fantastic. He walked us through the menu, explained how many of the dishes were prepared, and made thoughtful recommendations without ever feeling pushy. We started with the octopus and fresh focaccia with honey. The octopus was exceptional--easily one of the best I've had and on par with dishes I've enjoyed at Michelin-starred and James Beard-recognized restaurants. We also shared the beet and goat cheese salad, followed by the local snapper and the ribeye cap topped with lobster claw and tail in chimichurri. Every dish was beautifully prepared and showcased the quality of the ingredients. The cocktails were well balanced (not overloaded with ice), and the Thyme on Thyme is an easy recommendation if you're looking for something light and refreshing. The wine list paired nicely with the meal as well. Watching the sunset over the water while listening to music drifting across the park made the evening even more memorable. Thanks to Angel and the kitchen for such an outstanding experience. Seventh South has earned a spot on our regular rotation whenever we're in Naples.

When we walked into the restaurant, we were presently surprised on how pretty the place transformed from what used to be Three60 Market. Cozy, rustic, chic. Since it is a small place, every table seemed to have a view of the river. They also had outdoor dining, which would be nice once the weather gets cooler. We arrived right when they opened so we were initially the only people there. However, that quickly changed in the next hour or 2. We were seated by the hostess, and our waiter quickly appeared. He was warm and friendly and was attentive throughout the night. They had a good selection of wines by the glass, and specialty cocktails From the summer dining specials, we all ordered different entrees. Everything was delicious. Both the appetizers and dinner were full portions. Great deal for the price. All of us will be coming back, and bringing our husbands.

You are automatically greeted by their warmth and the inviting restaurant with a vibrant mural on the wall and large chalkboard showcasing their specials. They feature diner classics, but it's all elevated due to the top-quality ingredients they use. Here's what we ordered: ~Double espresso, Cappucino, and Latte. Their coffees are so standout because they get fresh whole beans, rather than just getting sent the ground coffee which is easier, but less fresh. ~Triple chocolate muffin ~Bowl of homemade chili, This chili was so thick and hearty, full of meat, beans, and flavor and topped with tons of shredded cheddar! ~Reuben sandwich, Georgi told us they were known for their famous Reuben so we had to give it a try! We are so happy we did! It comes on thick Rye bread, and is grilled with sliced corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and thousand island dressing. It is served with delicious French fries and is a must-order! ~Georgi said his favorite was the Chicken Berry Salad. It has grilled chicken, spinach, lettuce mix, with grapes, strawberries, blueberries, candied pecans and craisins served with Balsamic vinaigrette dressing. This salad was the definition of freshness and all of the ingredients worked perfectly together. The candied pecans were divine and the produce was premium quality. This is another must-order! ~Now, it came time for Veronika's recommendation and creation: the Avocado Toast. It's on thick multigrain toast with fresh avocado, lemon, tomato, onion, feta, and 2 poached eggs finished with black sesame and olive oil. served with fresh fruit. All of the ingredients worked so perfectly together, and again, you could taste the quality. I like how they use fresh avocado slices rather than artificial spread. The yolks were nice and runny. ~Steak and eggs with over medium eggs, hashbrowns, and sourdough toast Goldie's Restaurant is my top brunch recommendation in Naples, FL. The food is phenomenal, and the owners, Georgi and Veronika, are some of the kindest and most hospitable people you'll meet.

You can see as I have that this place has great reviews and rightly so. This place was packed. The dining room was clean and cozy. There was only one table available inside when we arrived. There were several available tables outside open as well. But since we like air conditioning we opted for the inside experience. Our waitress was Viri. She was knowledgeable, attentive and personable. We wanted for nothing. All of the wait staff seemed very nice. But Viri joked with my wife and I and it added quite nicely to our overall experience. I ordered the Reuben Sandwich with Fries and a cup of their made from scratch New England Clam Chowder. The Clam Chowder was creamy with ample potatoes and a hint of bacon. It is very well made and something I could easily see myself ordering again. The Reuben Sandwich came out hot and crispy with the right amounts of corned beef and sauerkraut. There was a perfect amount of Swiss cheese and thousand island dressing. It was everything I hoped it would be. My wife ordered the Eggs Benedict. The Hollandaise sauce was well crafted and creamy. The eggs were cooked to perfection. She had hash browns with her meal that were also cooked well. Even though we drove from Fort Myers to we can easily see ourselves making the trip again just to eat here. From the clean dining room to the expert wait staff and the quality of the food (Shout out to the faceless cooks in the kitchen). My wife and I will be returning at a future date. I would recommend this establishment to any hungry travelers and locals alike.
