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
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.
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!
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!
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!
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!
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.
Food: 5 stars Service: 5+ stars Ambiance: 5 stars Highly recommend Pending review while I gather my thoughts and eat leftovers but enjoy the photos meanwhile
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.

I found a gem in Naples. They make everything from scratch. This quaint little restaurant serves great food. No wonder it popped up when I searched for good brunch spots around this area. The restaurant is cute. It has a nice colorful outdoor sitting area with plants all around. The inside is cozy with a nice country charm. The place is located in a plaza, in a corner. Just look for the red umbrellas I ordered the Biscuits with Jalapenos Sausage Gravy. Boy, this was good. The homemade biscuits are excellent and that sauce, delicious. I then ordered the Pork Pelly and Grits. That was another good dish. I don't know what was on that grits but it was good. I would order it again. I found it hard to pick from the menu. I was watching the plates around me and the combinations all looked good. The service was good and friendly. I do wish they had more of those chocolate chip cookies I saw in the back for sale. I left wanting one. I guess I am going to have to come back for more and that cookie. read more

This place is on a "Top 13 breakfast places to Try" list and so I tried it! O. M. G. !!!! Literally THE BEST biscuits I've EVER had. They are huge and served with their homemade jam. To. Die. For. I tried the chicken and waffles with a sweet and spicy sauce. It was Out of this world. This is a must try. A little pricey but so worth it. I've driven by this place 100 times And never noticed it tucked in the corner of a Small strip of stores. PLEASE do yourself a favor..: try it, you'll like it! I Cannot wait to go back! read more

What a cute little diamond in the rough. We walked in and luckily there was a table. The restaurant is small and very cutely decorated in country motif. We sat ourselves and we're quickly approached by the waitress. The menu was great with lots of scratch items. I opted for the salmon Benedict. It was delicious. It was a huge portion. It was not as hot as I would've liked. The homemade bread it was on was really good. I would've liked a little more lemon in the hollandaise sauce. The hash brown muffin was delicious! It was nice and crispy...perfect. I'll definitely be back when bonbon the west coast. read more

I went on a Sunday at 8am. This place is always busy and it's because the service is great and food too. I paid $60 for two coffees two biscuits and two entrees and tip. The service was great the server gave us recs since it was our first time. They place great music while you eat. I highly recommend this place. We will be going back for the pancakes and chicken and waffles. read more

The restaurant is located at a corner in a small shopping center. The place has plenty of parking around. The restaurant has a small sitting area outside with ref umbrellas. They can be seen well from the street. The inside is small and cute. I had a good food experience here. They make everything from scratch. The fresh homemade biscuits are a must-try. They are good. I tried the Jalapeno Sausage and Gravy Biscuits and I loved it. It was not spicy but tasty. The Pork Belly Grits was another good dish. I liked it. The staff was very friendly. The service was good and we all enjoyed the food. read more

I am visiting my folks here in the Naples area of Florida for a while. My father went shopping on Yelp and said we should try this restaurant so we made it yesterday for lunch. It was a lovely day so we sat outside on the patio with the dog. We were seated right away and began taking in our food options on the menu. There were so many choices and a crazy amount of unique items/food combinations you just don't see anywhere! There were so many temptations but I stuck with a low carb omelet and a fruit cup. The flavor of the caramelized onions and mushrooms was amazing and the texture of the eggs were smooth and silky. I think they call the style of eggs - "French eggs". My husband had an omelet also with cheese and bacon and the meal comes with a "tater tot". The tater tot was muffin sized and crunchily yummy. The bacon brand is named on the menu (I can't recall) but it was thicker than most and scrumptious. Their biscuits get a lot of compliment so he had one of those and really enjoyed the flavor and texture. My parents both had the Huevos Rancheros which included chorizo which I have never seen before. When their plates arrived we were surprised by the corn tortillas on the bottom - they were gloriously crisp! The presentation was just perfect! They dug in and they were both so pleased. My 94 year old Dad has eaten many Huevos Rancheros meals in many states including New Mexico. He thinks that might have been the best of the best! It has already been decided he will come back and have it again. We saw many dishes come out that looked crazy good. We talked to a couple of people about what they ordered and one was the grouper which was breaded corn flakes and almonds etc. The gal we spoke with said it is to die for and she gets every time. Apparently they also have some unusual grits dishes and unique waffles and pancakes. Check them out! read more

I tried the shrimp and grits, which were terrific but had a little too much oil. The flavor was so smoky, and the grits were coarse, a first but excellent texture. The biscuits and gravy were good, but I recommend adding a protein to the dish. Top-rated grits, for sure. It's a tiny place, so be prepared to wait a little on the weekend. Service was average. read more
This was our first time here and definitely will not be our last. No picture of my husband's bacon cheeseburger, but he said it was the best he's had! The Rueben was so good especially with the jalapeño coleslaw. Can't wait to come back for breakfast. read more

Happened to be in the area this morning and found The Rooster across the street from my appointment. Never having been before I stopped in for some breakfast. This place is small, cozy, and pleasantly appointed. The service is personal and exceptional. The food is made from scratch and every bit worth the price. I had French style scrambled eggs, bacon, and hash browns that come in muffin form, toast with homemade jam, and a lemon blueberry pancake with real Vermont maple syrup that may very well be the best pancake I've ever eaten in my 47yrs on earth. My only complaint is that it's not closer to home in Bonita! I throughly enjoyed my stop at The Rooster today and look forward to coming back and brining the wife! Thank you Rooster staff for a great meal! read more

Found this place on Yelp, glad I did. Little place tucked away in a small strip mall. Amazing food and service. Had the pepper jelly pork belly with grits " wow ". My wife had an omelette she said it was wonderful. Service was quick and attentive. The hash brown biscuits are a must try. Good strong coffee. read more
My husband and I were visiting Naples for a day and decided to stop at this restaurant to eat! Thank God we did! This restaurant has a farmhouse vibe, service is impeccable and the food is great. Nice menu, something for everyone. We ordered the chicken and waffles, two eggs, hash browns, bacon, the biscuits, grits, crab cakes, pancakes coffee and Orange juice. Staff was attentive and polite, the restaurant itself was clean and nicely decorated. Overall, our experience was excellent! We can't wait to visit again the next time we are in Naples! read more

A cute breakfast/brunch spot with the friendliest staff. We were out of towners and we felt welcomed with open arms. Although packed when we arrived, we were seated almost immediately. With regards to the food, everything was fresh and flavorful. The shrimp chilaquiles was delicious but will get soggy after time so definitely not an "eat later" item. The portion sizes were also reasonable as well. I wanted to try the bourbon peach caramel cheesecake but it was sold out at that hour of the morning. Whomp whomp. With both indoor/outdoor seating, free WiFi, good food and accommodating staff, it's a great option to brunch at while in Naples! read more
Loved this place. A small taste of homemade goodness. Great menu & fantastic service. We had the Rooster Benedict with perfectly poached eggs and tons of flavor. Also had the pork belly BLT and it was so good with the best French fries ever. A must try is the Bloody Mary garnished with bacon, okra, stuffed olives and the perfect spice level. I definitely need to return to try the biscuits and some of the pancakes. Oh and the hummingbird cake was divine - huge thank you to the chef who sent this out to us to help celebrate my birthday it was a sweet surprise and much appreciated. read more

I ordered the shrimp and grits and it is the best I've ever tasted. The sauce is the secret. It reminds me of some Cajun dishes I've had in New Orleans, but not spicy. As I enjoyed the fresh, plump, perfectly cooked shrimp, I was pleasantly surprised to find smoked pork pieces intermixed with shrimp. As a side I ordered the fried green tomatoes. My wife had the blueberry pancakes with natural Vermont maple syrup. This place is the perfect comfort brunch food place and a must for anyone in the area! read more

Instantly got a seat and had a waiter, place was a little small and quite busy at noon on a sunday, but decorated to the resturant theme and cozy, 25 minute wait. The Rooster Egg Sandwhich had a nice garlic aioli touch that brought the whole sandwhich together, came with fruit. The Crab Cake Eggs Benny was delicious and came with a cheesy hashbrown 'biscuit' , but the crab definitely wasnt fresh. A bit pricey but expected, overall nice experience for a little brunch visit. read more

Literally redownloaded Yelp to write this review. This place will ruin you to all other breakfast restaurants. Every single bite was absolutely ridiculously delicious, and the service was spot on! Kayla was super friendly and gave great recommendations. BEST SPOT IN TOWN BY FAR! You will not be disappointed. read more
Fantastic food and service! My eggs scrambled soft were so dang creamery and buttery and sheer perfection--this is a high compliment because eggs, while simple, are also easy to overcook! My husband enjoyed his biscuits and jalapeño gravy which was unique with the right amount of heat. I had a side of hollandaise with my eggs and it was so good! Only note is that everything was a little more salted than I would prefer. Highly recommend this place, it's small and cozy but also has outdoor seating, and the bathroom requires you to walk through the kitchen (everyone stopped and said hello as I walked through) which was neat to see! read more
