This breakfast spot was bustling on Thanksgiving Sunday. While other places were closed, Blue Rooster was serving up some delicious breakfast and big portions. I ordered the Wake Up Call $16.95 4 eggs, 3 strips of bacon, 3 breakfast sausages, 2 slices of ham, and pancakes. Please note the server asked me if I wanted chocolate chip or blueberry pancakes. I chose blueberry and was charged an additional $2.50. It would be nice if the server told me the upcharge for the blueberry pancakes. My wife who was celebrating her birthday got the Rooster benedict which came avocado and bacon. The poached eggs were cooked perfectly soft and Hollandaise sauce was on point. Their coffee is really good and bottomless. We had like 3 cups of coffee. Overall we enjoyed the breakfast and the service here is friendly. The dining area is your typical grease spoon type of diner. I recommend coming here for your brunch fix. They also have a lunch menu with some burgers, sandwiches, wraps, poutines, fish n chips and chicken n waffles. read more

We decided to give the Blue Rooster a try on January 2nd ! We were running an errand in Ajax and their skillets and pricing looked promising. Not surprisingly, there was a wait when we got there. We were seated within 10 minutes. The food lived up to its promised. The skillet was served pipping hot. My wife's bacon and eggs were done to perfection. The portions are huge! Everyone and I mean everyone got doggie bags. Bottomless cup of coffee. Reasonable prices ! read more

South Ajax has so many places that serve a great breakfast. The Blue Rooster, located on Monarch Ave, north of Westney, is one of those places. I dropped in recently for their Early Bird Breakfast. I had three eggs, bacon, hash browns, baked beans, and toast, all for only $7.95 (weekday mornings only). Everything was cooked perfectly, and delicious! The service was excellent! If you haven't tried this place, you should! read more

Another great brunch at Blue Rooster!! We love their pancakes. My son's Big Rooster Breakfast was enormous, he actually couldn't finish it so took the rest home for another meal. As usual Yvonne was cheery and helpful. She suggested buttering both sides of the pancakes. Yup she was right sooo yummy read more

We ordered the Elvis eggs Benedict. Pulled pork version of their Benedict. It had a lot of pulled pork on 3 English muffins with perfect over soft poached eggs. The hollandaise was good and there was ample. My wife ordered the 4 eggs sunny side up wake up call that comes with bacon sausage and ham as well as a pancake. Both breakfasts come with home fries which were ordered crisp. The wake up also comes with toast and beans. I forgot to take photos but the food was great and reasonable priced. The service was good too. We will be back for more and I will add photos read more

Came here on a Sunday morning around 10am after seeing a line up outside Angelique (too hungry and impatient to wait).

Our regular spot was closed, so we stopped into The Blue Rooster for the first time in over 20 years living in Ajax. It was a holiday Monday, but we only had to wait 10 mins for a table of 6 plus one toddler. Service was very slow, they might have been understaffed on a holiday. But they were very polite and apologetic. Huge portions, HUGE. And they have some of the best breakfast sausage, everyone agreed! read more

Was happy to get a seat on a weekend morning! No wait on that snowy day. Service was a little slow that day...wondering if they were short staffed due to the snow. Food portions were crazy big. Everything was fresh and hot. Would go back! read more

Awesome service and food for casual dinning. If you're looking for a quick bite to eat and sick of all the chain restaurants gotta stop in and try. I had the special today for lunch and it was amazing with a huge plate. very friendly staff and quick service. read more

Excellent for dinner! Now open for dinner on weekends. Great food, full breakfast menu at night, not crowded. Food was great, service excellent, generous portions and prices lower than normal. Love having a regular restaurant instead of just chains available. Beats Southlake Grill for service and price. read more

I normally have weekend brunch at Angeliques or Scrambles but decided to try Blue Rooster since it has high ratings. Similar to the other restaurants, there was a bit of a wait when we arrived (11:30am) but was seated at the bar fairly quickly. Food 3.5/5 I ordered the smoked salmon eggs benedict while my s/o got the three eggs with sausage and bacon. The side shredded potatoes were delicious and overloaded onto the plate. They weren't served hot but would've even tasted better if it was. The eggs were cooked to my liking (medium) and were very fresh. The english muffin was perfectly toasted (crispy on the outside) and soft on the middle which was the perfect compliment to the rest of the dishes. Service 3.5/5 Our waitress was friendly and consistently made conversation with us. She was very attentive, always had a smile on her face and would check in routinely. I can't quite say the same about the other waitresses as they were busy with the other tables and the other seemed disinterested. Blue Rooster is a great place to have brunch and I'm looking forward to coming back to try other items on the menu. read more

This place was a'ight. It being cuter than your standard greasy spoon diner, I expected a bit more character in the food, but overall it was just okay. I ordered a veggie omelette with a side of sausages...it came with toast and potatoes of my choosing (I chose shredded). The portion was enormous! Seriously, was that a 9-egg omelette? Also, I was served enough shredded potato for an army. Overall, it was tasty enough, but I found the omelette to be a bit dry, the sausages too greasy, and the potatoes a bit cold and lackluster (not crispy at all, which I was hoping for). Hubby's chicken wrap had too much dressing for his taste, but otherwise he enjoyed it. Although, his fries were a bit below average. Sorry for the harsh review! Just keeping it real. On a more positive note, the service was excellent. And they seemed to have a lot of regulars. So definitely give this place a chance and decide for yourself :) read more

One of the very nice places to go for brunch with your family. We tried veg and chicken options and both tasted amazing. The service is quick and it's not too pricey. The ambience is ok. read more

We usually commute from North York to this nice brunch place. I took my brother and his girl here before and they asked to come back again. So we arranged today, I usually order the Egg Benny with smoked salmon $12.75 and add avocado ($1.95) They give you three egg benny and the home fries are nicely done. You can specify how you would like your eggs cooked. The service is very friendly and they will keep asking you if you need refills. read more

This place is okay. You can tell it's been there a while because the cushioning in their booths have ripped. The food isn't too bad. I tried their Rooster's Nest Poutine. I actually really enjoyed it! I would definitely recommend trying this. The reason I didn't give full stars was because my boyfriend's pulled pork burger was a bit dry and didn't seem to have much sauce as expected. Also, the staff hardly came to check on us, we were the ones constantly calling them over and it wasn't that busy. It's not a bad place to try if you're in the area. read more

Great little place for the best breakfasts! The staff are friendly and make you feel like family. Food is fresh and delicious and serving sizes are gigantic. Prices are good too. Definitely busy on weekends but if you're willing to wait, it's worth it. We avoided the Sunday church crowd so it wasn't too bad. Definitely coming back to try the plethora of items on the menu. read more

Quiet little breakfast place. Portions are huge but quality can be improved. Great for a large cheap meal. Eggs Benedict was not that great so stick with the simple breakfast options. Coffee was just right. read more

This restaurant has recently rebranded itself with renovations and has the same owners. I'm unable to comment on the changes as I never visited before the reopening. What I can say is the restaurant is well decorated and the furniture is new and clean. I like that there is a large window looking into the kitchen which is also very clean. I compare breakfast restaurants by their midweek special. Everyone has their favorite easy to cook the eggs, style of potatoe and method to cook bacon. Here they serve homefries that are large cut and very thin sliced bacon (both deep fried). My wife likes her bacon crispy but I prefer a little softness which is impossible deep fried. I enjoy a crispy outside of my potatoes which were cooked well. My over easy eggs were cooked great with yolks still soft. I'm rating 3 stars because it's just an average good breakfast. Price, portion and quality are all average. I encourage everyone (including the owners) to eat around the corner to compare to their competition. For $1 more the hash brown potatoes are grilled with a large portion, bacon is thick sliced and a great smoke flavor. But as I said, breakfast is a definite individual preference. read more

Blue Rooster - Weekday breakfast special is 2 eggs with bacon homefries and toast. I opted out of the toast so they added some fruit. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ajax, Ontario

First and last time here. We ordered the "Wake up Call" breakfast which is bacon/meats, eggs, potatoes, toast, beans and pancakes. After waiting 30 mins for it to come out (the restaurant wasn't busy), the order came out wrong and had to be sent back. It came out again and the food was horrible. Eggs were watery, potatoes burnt, beans bland and salty. Coffee tastes like piss water. The pancakes were ok. Service was slow and inattentive. Bathroom was filthy. Feces on the toilet, used sanitary napkin on top of the open garbage bin. Overall it was not a positive experience and we will return to Angeliques where the food is always excellent. read more

My local breakfast place since I've moved to Ajax. Donna and Nivia are great and full of spunk. The atmosphere is good. It can get busy on the weekends but you will get a seat. Breakfast is straight forward and done properly. Healthy servings at a good price. Did I mention I like the servers !? read more

One of my top two breakfast joints in Ajax. The tables fill up quickly mid-morning and on weekends. The food is consistently some of the best in Ajax for breakfast. Staff is friendly and quick. read more

The restaurant is very nice and clean on the inside! The owner was very nice also. The service was fast!

Great food and great service. Be prepared to wait a bit on the weekends as it is a popular place but definitely worth the wait!

Went there for the first time for breakfast. Donna made us feel like we were regulars, very warm and welcoming. Her passion really made the experience for us. Food was also great for the value - big portions. A little too salty, but didn't mind it. Wasn't a big fan of the room temperature tap water but it's something I can look past. The restaurant is small but we didn't have to wait too long for a table. We will be back ! read more

I was looking forward to this restaurant after reading the reviews but ended up leaving very disappointed. We waited almost an hour for our plates even though most of the customers had left after we were seated so not sure what they were doing in the kitchen even though we saw at least 3 people working in the back. After the long wait the food was way below average. I had the eggs benedict and the eggs were cold. The English muffin was burnt black and gross and soggy. I had asked for soft eggs and they were cooked hard. They do not know how to poach eggs properly. The hash browns were limp and under cooked. My friends home fries were burnt black. The server was friendly but we felt we were being rushed to leave because they wanted to close early being told they were going to turn the lights out and the bill being shoved towards us while we were in the middle of eating. I would never go back here. read more

This is the best breakfast joint in Durham Region. Two words...breakfast poutine. They offer gluten free options as well (sadly, not the breakfast poutine, yet). The eggs benny is soooo good, especially on the hash. The service here is beyond great. I can't recommend this place enough. read more

if i could give zero stars, i would. the service is HORRIBLE. server didn't come to the table for 15 minutes, had to ask for water and napkins 3+ times. they need more than one server on at a time, sitting at a table and waiting so long for service is ridiculous. AND WHY IS A SMALL FRUIT BOWL $6?! read more

This place is like 10 minutes from me and I think I've found my new go-to brunch place! My friend loved her mimosa and I had the eggs benedict and it was sooo good. Yum! Prices are average. I can't wait to go back and try the other stuff :) read more

I love this place, I go so often that they already know what I want when I sit down. I can tell they throw a bit extra on my plate, because they're amazing! The staff is great, the owner is very nice. And I keep coming back for more. I usually once during the weekend. The prices are great too!! and the coffee is great! read more

$4.25 for two eggs, home fries, four of slices of bacon, and some nice rye toast. The eggs were a tad overcooked for my liking, but other than that, everything was good especially for that price. Our server was very nice and our coffee was refilled often. I would deffo return here. read more

Food was ok. Nothing to scream about. They can't beat Angelique's breakfast. It is very clean though. Just went to give it a try. Probably won't go back. read more

Very very good, top notch breakfast, we enjoyed everything, ask for crispy bacon and get crispy bacon. Light fluffy pancakes I highly recommend. read more

We had a nice breakfast here on a quiet Tuesday morning just after opening. My husband and I were greeted in a very friendly manner and chose an empty booth. We both had eggs benedict dishes. There were several to chose from, and they all looked amazing. Our dishes were great, especially with the slightly crispy shredded hash browns on the side. It was also a pleasant surprise that the coffee was so good. Not at all bitter, as restaurant coffee sometimes is. Highly recommended. read more

Good food. Good service. Nothing to complain about. I had the spanish eggs benedict. Very creative. Great for breakfast.
