Got sat right away.. got the kids situated and ordered a few mins after sitting down. Waited, waited and waited. Kids had to go outside to play since the food was taking so long. We had waited for one hour. Server never checked on us. No coffee or water refills. I finally asked how much longer our food would be. Said 5 more mins. Food came out served by someone else. Other people's food came out before us and they had gotten there after us. Maybe a mistake by the server putting our order in late. Kids were really getting restless so we had to eat fast and wanted to pay and leave. I noticed the sever twiddling his thumbs at the cash wrap quite a bit. Pretty frustrating to say the least. I literally stared at him for a good 5 mins and decided to walk over to the bar to check out. The bartender then called our server over and ended up checking out with him.. Never again. read more

The entire experience was disappointing. The service was slow, they seemed very short-staffed. It was New Year's Day, but if you're short-staffed, warn people. Don't bring out cold food, and then refuse to discount or comp it simply because the person didn't send it back (it took 40 mins to get our food in the first place-who would risk having it remade?!). Seriously. They actually told us sending it back gets a half off discount, but if you don't, you're paying full price (and she didn't even eat a whole egg's worth of the sunrise plate). The two we went with had been there a few times before, and they are, I quote, "never coming here again." If you go, ask if they're short-staffed. If yes, run away. The s'mores latte was amazing, the mimosa flight was good-but def didn't make up for a 90+ minute breakfast turnaround with room temperature food. read more

Two big pros, two big cons. I'll start with the bad... the ambiance sucks and gives me chain vibes even though it's not. I'm a big fan of charcter and cozy joints with their own unique thing going on, and this place looks like a 60 year old white lady went buckwild with cheap rooster decor. I went to the bathroom and it was nasty. It stunk like sewage and had one flickering light barely hanging on by a thread. All but one toilet was clogged the heck up. Depsite all of that, I am still giving four stars because our food was that dang good. I had some absolutely scrumptious tomato soup with a yummy grilled cheese, and the shrimp and grits was absolutely TO DIE FOR!!! I still think about it. Super flavorful and fresh and just amazing in every way. Also that dang jalepeno cornbread knocked my freaking socks off and we made sure to order more. Our server was an absolute angel. So basically go in with low expectations and hopefully you'll be as wowed as we were. read more

Ahh..this place is a hidden gem. Since I read ALL yelp reviews and review photos before I visit a place, I think I should give an honest review to dispel negativity regarding the service at this place. From the moment I walked in the door, I was greeted with a smile- the hostess was very welcoming. There was a 15 minute wait. I was seated timely. My waitress, Sophia had a smile the entire time I was there. I dined alone and brought along an e-reader so I was there for sometime. She did not rush me, gave great recommendations and was timely with my requests. Food was good. I ordered a speciality coffee (Caramel Brulee), Mimosa (Passion Fruit) and the French toast breakfast with a side of hash browns. The French toast was the only not so great item but I think it may have just been my preference in method. I'd recommend this place for anyone seeking some southern hospitality and seasoned brunch ...oh and mimosas are $3 on Sundays! read more

Wait was longer than expected since I was alone...food was great. My snickerdoodle latte was tasty - right amount of sweetness. My waitress was excellent. Sorry I didn't get her name - she answered questions thoroughly and brought my food and drink out in a timely manner. Kudos! read more

We looked for this spot the last time we were in town and we missed it. However, we found it this time. We were not disappointed at all! Our sweet little server was kind and accommodating. The food was good! Fresh! I could have ventured off the beaten path and order one of the RRC specials but the breakfast tacos were calling my name. They were good as to be expected for a taco. The pico was really fresh W/ just enough heat. The star of my plate.....the cheese grits!!! Momma shut your mouth! Creamy, cheesy, yummy! I love grits and these were REALLY GOOD! We had a good time (the mimosa's did not hurt! Lol) Take the time to stop by if your coming into Beaufort or the surrounding areas. read more

Overpriced breakfast. Understaffed wait staff. Long wait for everything, despite open tables.

Nope! Disappointing. Gravy from a mix and hard biscuits. Just average to say the least. I won't go back. Coffee was good. Wait staff had too many tables to keep replenished. Try somewhere else First.. thumbs down' read more

We went to the Red Rooster in Beaufort on a late Saturday morning. It was busy, there was about a thirty minute wait. While the food was good, the service was uninspired. It was like they hadn't expected the crowd. We'd been there before and had better service. Most of the breakfast dishes come with cheesy grits. If you aren't from the South, you may not have an appreciation for cheese grits. read more

Incredible food consistently!! They are very popular, so the wait times can be a little long sometimes. The food definitely makes up for it, though! read more

Good service, waitress was very friendly and informative about the area. Biscuits and gravy starter was outstanding and both breakfasts were great! Beautiful outdoor seating. read more

This place was absolutely delicious! A perfect place for a special weekend breakfast! The place is super cute it feels like I'm walking into a families home. Our waitress was kind and helped us pick some thing off their huge menu! So many options! They even give u corn bread before your meal with is so unique! Definitely recommend! read more

The food is "AWESOME", the service is great, and the atmosphere is wonderful. My family and I enjoy eating at Red Rooster.

Pretty great place to come for breakfast. Ambience was nice and food was good. I ordered the French Toast with fresh fruit. I was a bit disappointed that the French Toast did not come on the bread that was described in the menu but it was still good. Fruit was nice and crisp. Others in my party ordered a toasted coconut cappuccino wish was the special drink. It looked beautiful and tasted great as well. Definitely a place to try if in the area and want good breakfast. Waitress was as sweet as pie! read more

This is a great lunch spot. Casual with excellent food. There's a lot of really good looking sandwiches, paninis and burgers on the menu that I had difficulty deciding. After much deliberation I went with The Gobbler panini. The bread was grilled to a perfect golden and was filled with a good amount of delicious turkey. The sweetness of the honey bacon and the strawberry sauce was nicely mellowed out by the brie. Great pick for the type of cheese on this sandwich. As a side I went with the side salad. Since the salad is so large I thought they got my order wrong and brought me a salad instead of my sandwich. Really great meal. read more

When you enter the door of this establishment it says "best place for breakfast in Beaufort " That's unfortunate . We were seated and happened to notice that a party of two that sat after us had their order already taken (different waitress ). When we finally received our drink orders (two coffees and a water ) she said she would come back with a straw for my daughter , we noticed there were only three creamers on the table . We waited a good 10 minutes and when she didn't come back my husband stole the creamer and a straw from up front . While we were waiting for the food we noticed the ketchup bottle. It's obvious they are refilling glass bottles (which is illegal ). Please see the picture attached . It was enough to make me loose my appetite . I ordered two eggs over easy . They were slimy (picture also enclosed ) so I didn't eat them. It was also $33 for this horrible experience . Way overpriced ! So to sum up bad food, bad service , bad choice. read more

We entered the restaurant at 9:30 and was advised we would be seated within 25 minutes. Approximately 45 minutes later, we were seated, 20 minutes later our server came to the table. I ordered the Little Red Hen and 45 minutes later, the server apologized they had no yogurt, as the breakfast was being put on the table. Long story short, it was a bad experience! I have no desire to revisit! read more

After hearing so many people rave about the breakfast here, we finally decided to try it. Unfortunately, it did not live up to the hype.. Our 2 toddlers got the egg, bacon and cheese grits kids breakfast. The eggs were undercooked and wet. It wasn't butter or runny egg, seemed more like they were sitting in a puddle of water, which seemed super weird and unappetizing. The cheese grits were thick, sticky and bland. My husband got one of the egg benedicts, it was supposed to have tomato and spinach and he asked for an over medium egg instead of poached. The tomato was missing, the spinach was a soggy mess and severely lacking in flavor and freshness and the egg was cooked incorrectly. He scraped off the spinach best he could but it had completely saturated the English muffin. So at this point it was a soggy English muffin, no spinach, no tomato and the egg was an undercooked over easy egg instead of over medium. I ended up giving him some of my meal because it really didn't look good. I got grandma's biscuits and gravy. The gravy was pretty thin and it was lacking in sausage but the flavor was good. That's why they got 2 stars instead of 1. Also, our waitress was pleasant and the food came out in a timely manner. So there were some good things. However, a different employee brought our food out and asked us if we needed anything and we asked for 2 more napkins with silverware as we had only gotten 2 sets for the 4 of us. After we sat there with our food in front of us for 5 mins, unable to eat it, I went and found 1 more silverware set myself and we were able to grab a fork away from one of our kids that was not using it anymore at this point. Overall, not worth the $50 we paid for all of this. read more

Delicious breakfast spot. Service can be a bit slow. Great ambiance and farm decor. Very convenient location.

Customer service was rather slack, it took about 20 mins for my server to greet me. My table still had water marks on the table from a rushed wipe down of the table. read more

Very nice. Great location. Friendly service. Good selection on menus. Drink and eating. Would recommend if you're in the area. We went for breakfast after a long night of drinking. It really hit the spot. read more

I rarely give a place 5 stars the first time I visit. However I had the chicken and waffles and they were really good. Crispy outside moist inside and the waitress and hostes were very nice. I will be back to update my rating. read more

The service was a little slow but I understand since Covid it's hard to fully staff a place. The food was delicious and worth the wait. I ordered the Yo Adrian sandwich with a side of pasta salad. Very Tasty! read more

I actually came back 2 weekends in a row. The waitresses were super friendly and attentive. She even got me a new chair because the one I had I thought was uncomfortable. No matter how hot it was outside they were out there wearing their masks! The food was delicious. I got lucky because it was half off of mimosas... and they were pretty delicious! read more

Highly recommend this establishment! We had a bit of a wait for our party of 19 but they opened up the other side of their restaurant to accommodate us. The hostess was so pleasant and kept us informed. Our server (I forgot her name - Kaycee or Karli maybe- sorry) was GREAT! She was the only server assigned to us and did a great job... not to mention, the food was truly phenomenal! The restaurant was clean and lighting was good; the decor and tables reminded me of a small town country flair. The decor may not be up to date but the food is really good-- everyone in our party enjoyed the food! read more

We ate here a month or so ago and I totally forgot to review. We enjoyed breakfast! I had French toast and the cheese grits were delicious, it was all delicious. We took some food to go for my daughter and they made fresh drinks just before we left. She also enjoyed her breakfast. Servers was quick and the menu had a lot for all tastes. Will be going back. read more

Love this place!!! There were things that could be better (non attentive wait staff & bathroom issue) but the food was so yummy the other stuff isn't worth mentioning! I enjoyed The Gobbler and homemade chips (in photo) while hubby enjoyed a Good ole Boy. He was pleased with his but I was a little more excited about mine! I wish we were staying another day bc I love the look of most of the breakfast items. We will be back to enjoy more of this deliciousness!!! read more

I love coming here. While a little pricey I do love getting the smoothies I don't know why they are so addicting. I really enjoy places that serve breakfast all day. The staff has always been very friendly to me and I really like the atmosphere in this restaurant. If anyone likes mimosas they have a wide selection and they can bring them by the picture. Honestly I recommend this place and I think it's also great if you and your friends want to go out to eat somewhere together. read more

Great Breakfast and truly worth the stop if you're hungry. You might have to wait a few minutes but well worth it.

The food was very good. The reason for two stars is the lobby smells of pee and considered leaving but stayed because one in the party insisted on staying. The food took forever. Over 30 min. We had a one year old who grew very impatient. That changed once his food came. While in the restroom after another customer engaged me stating that mabye the place had changed hands recently because it was nothing like the last time he visited. read more

Service was exceptional!!! Bree was on top of everything. Never wanted for anything. We told her what we wanted to order and not one thing was written down. No mistakes! Food was delicious!!! Thank you!!! Breakfast at Tiffany's I would recommend!!! Thank you! FYI Bree needs a raise!!! read more

Amazing food and amazing service. If you have to wait in line on a table, it is definitely worth it!

Great food and service. I will definitely be going back! Loved it!! Check it out. Wish they had dinner too!!

Cute building, but......Very slow service. Our waitress disappeared for 10 minutes at a time. The coffee was hot but tasted awful; definitely not what i expected from a cafe. read more

Truly enjoyed this place! Food was fresh and we loved our waitress. For an entire group of 7 to fully enjoy their food and dining experience I'd say it's a decently impressive accomplishment. Awesome atmosphere, and restaurant was also clean. Pricing is also good! read more

My husband and I were desperate to find something to eat while in the area for work on Thursday (during covid-19 lockdown) we decided on this place 10 minutes before they closed and I cannot express how incredibly happy we were for that decision! The family running the place was so nice and welcoming. And the food was absolutely outstanding. I had the Jack Sprat with Asian slaw and my husband had The Mamba with Homemade potato chips. Mine was so exactly perfect and delicious and to quote my husband, his was "amaze ballz"..haha We will definitely be back. Awesome customer service, fantastic staff (and I believe owners)..and the food stands for itself. read more

Weekends are a bit crowded but they have lots of seating. The food is very good and some nice choices. Breads and cornbreads are great and served with the meals. Quick time to get seated, but a bit longer to order. Still worth the visit and will continue to go back. read more

Food is amazing. Servers are so polite and hard working. Definitely a fantastic brunch spot!!

Good basic food at a reasonable price. We went to the restaurant when it was on rRibaut and much smaller than it is now. Last time I was there, I ordered chicken tenders, and they were excellent. read more
