My wife got the lunch buffet and she liked it. I tried a few of her items and everything was decent. I got the all meat omelette and it was good. The waitress and other employees were very friendly. Definitely be eating here again. read more

If you're not looking for old-school cooking, keep scrolling to another location. Salad is iceberg lettuce, many menu items are breaded and/or fried, and there aren't many lo-cal options. But if you're OK with that, it's a good choice. This is an old-fashioned breakfast and lunch diner - omelets, burgers, salads, catfish, salmon patties, etc. - with matching ambience, right down to the hand-written, tear-off order pad. I withheld one star for the lack of more health-conscious options. I chose a grilled chicken sandwich that had a good-sized portion of chicken, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise (I declined pickles) on a basic hamburger bun. Crinkle fries were crisp, and I substituted a green salad for the usual coleslaw. It was good, but basic. Which pretty much sums things up. read more

Good homemade food Friendly staff. Every time we have eaten there we have not been disappointed read more

I have always enjoyed their food. Biscuits and gravy, omelets, pancakes..... Now that I have to be gluten free, I can still enjoy their omelets. My husband loves their breakfast bar. The service is always friendly and the decor it random. We will continue visiting in occasion. read more

Awesome breakfast buffet on weekends til 1:30. Friendly customer service and the decor gives off a cool vibe. Located in quaint Danville, Ky. And go visit the Great American Dollhouse (miniature) afterwards. Worth the visit!! read more

This place is an overpriced frozen food restaurant. They heat and serve. The staff are to busy cuddling up with regulars to serve you properly. Don't waste your money on this dump. read more

If you like solid small town restaurants with lots of local color and delicious food, you'll like the Red Rooster Cafe. I'm not into national chains or fake theme places. Red Rooster is the Real Thing. Ambiance was terrific. Funny signage. Locals teasing each other from table to table. Efficient service. I ordered 1/2 burger with fries and cole slaw. Fies were hot and crisp and plenty. The burger was something I will not forget. Done perfectly. A hand formed all meat patty. I've been talking about it as we travel the country. It has become the measuring stick for all future burgers. It's breakfast and lunch only. And they offer a buffet meal sometimes. Check first. read more

Great little local restaurant, fabulous food, and awesome servers I definitely will go back. read more

Red Rooster Cafe - a plate of breakfast food - New American Near Me - Danville, Kentucky

You know what you do before a 3 hour tattoo...? you eat something good! I was passing through Danville on my way to get a tattoo and realized i needed to make a stop for breakfast. this is a great 'pit stop place' it's nothing crazy special about it, but if you just like a nice local diner this is the place. the staff were friendly the décor was 'ole timey'. i didn't feel out of place. the plates were affordable and the coffee was fresh. They were hosting a weekly group on the hearing disabled in the front of the house. it was so cute you could tell this was *their* joint. The ladies who were working their all but knew exactly what they needed and when. Several political types pulled up as i was leaving and they knew exactly how to help them too. It was friendly and right in the middle of town. When i go back again I'll be sure to drop in for a spell. read more

Red Rooster Cafe - Breaded tenderloin, Macaroni and cheese, Pinto beans and cornbread! - New American Near Me - Danville, Kentucky

I have been meaning to review these guys for a while now. The breakfast buffet is second to none. Over the past few months we have been 3 times. Every time has been perfect. The gravy and biscuits are made from scratch fresh and sooo good just like biscuits and gravy should be. It's all good. If it's been a while since you have been you are missing out. read more

Went here on the way to Cumberland Falls State Park. It was great! The food is amazing as well as the hospitality. I got bacon, eggs, apples, hashbrowns, and raisin bread for $9. They had some dairy free creamer for me and I liked all the license plates on the wall. Perfect little cafe!! read more

Always excellent and friendly service. Food is delicious and love the hometown feel.

The last couple of times I was here the food was just bad.. my advice. Just go to Cracker Barrel, save you the time and money.

Me and my boyfriend and his grandma had came in to be a seated everyone was nice and the lady seating us was awesome! The server came up and immediately had attitude, when his grandma went to order she goes "HONEY I NEED YOU TO STOP IM NOT READY FOR YOU YET" then proceeded to give us the hand and walk off. We were stunned in my whole time living here I have NEVER had this issue. She comes back to get the order and acts like nothing happened. I ordered and then my grandma ordered. She looked me dead in the face glared at me rolled her eyes and walked off again. I get sometimes people have stuff going on in their lives but you don't need to make other people miserable just because you are. read more

The place to go for some home style comfort food. We ate here recently and enjoyed the friendly service, the fresh-tasting meals we ordered, and the decorations that give it a feel of a diner from years ago. They aren't open for dinner or on Sundays or Mondays, so plan your visit accordingly! read more

The home town feel of this place had me in love at first sight! The food and service were excellent! I am so glad we moved to the area and can frequent this place! The breakfast was just wonderful! We look forward to visits to come! Good for the whole family and they have a breakfast bar on Friday and Saturdays! read more

Visited for a late lunch. I found that they only had one server to serve approximately ten full tables. Naturally with a server spread that thin, there's no way to get good service. The hamburgers are pre pressed patties. I got the bacon cheddar burger which had unmelted cheese. To be honest, I probably wouldn't go back here. read more

From Frankfort, We found the Cafe through Google Search. Made reservations for a small group. We were placed in a small room, which was great. The service was exceptional. Everyone enjoyed their food. Will definitely go again. read more

The food was delicious , very fresh and hot! As crowed as the restaurant was our food was served within 10 minutes or less of ordering. This was the first time eating there, we were very impressed. We will be returning soon! read more

The Red Rooster Cafe truly has an Americana air to it. The pork chops tasted just like my grandmama made them. My favorite items were the green beans and pork chops! The price of dinner was low, and the level of service (and food quality) was very high. The Red Rooster and Harvey's Barbecue are easily my two favorite eateries in Danville. read more

I was passing through and wanted to sit down some where to eat and stumbled on this place. It was packed! The buffet had very good food and the staff was great. read more

The food is ok as food goes, nothing to rave about. The staff is cordial and efficient .The manager up there is too flirtatious to certain male patrons. When a couple come in to dine, it isn't necessary for the extra and excessive conversation and visits to the table. She has made it overtly obvious that she is in awe of or looking for a black man. The tall bald headed one that was occasionally coming in there is married and she needs to stay out his face and mine. She is boldly thirsty. We won't be dining there in the future All that flirting is disrespectful and management should make her aware of that! Wifey read more

We were searching for local food and found the Red Rooster and loved everything about it. Inviting staff, great food, reasonable prices. This is why you pull off the highway and do not eat at the chains. read more

Always good home cooked meals at a restaurant with very good service and not a very long wait at all, no matter how busy

This is the worst place I have ever been. We were there for one hour and never received food or even a refill on drinks after sitting there an hour. I asked if we Would ever get our food and the response was " you can leave if you want." read more

It's dirty, the booths are slashed, waitresses can't remember anything, food is bad. Aside from that, it's perfect. This place is a dump.

Little mom-and-pop type place in Danville Kentucky. Not horrible but the food seems like it came out of the back of a delivery truck. For a mom-and-pop place you would think delicious homemade food, but I just didn't get that vibe from what I ordered. I came in for breakfast and ordered the "big breakfast special" with country fried steak, biscuits and gravy, hashbrowns or fried potatoes, two eggs, and a large Orange Juice. The food was delivered relatively quickly considering they had to deep fry the country fried steak. I never did get my large orange juice that I asked for, and the "biscuits and gravy" came as a single biscuit, not biscuits plural, (it said biscuits with an s) and then the waitress brought out butter and jelly too! So I had to make a decision with my "biscuits and gravy". Use it with jelly or with gravy. Simple thing to do is add another biscuit, but alas I'm not in charge. But anyway, I never saw the waitress again to get my orange juice or to even get a refill on the water that I was sure glad I had asked for when I first sat down (I would've been really thirsty!). So red rooster Café you're getting a two star. That's the way the cookie crumble sometimes. But with a little bit of effort you could easily get to a four star. The food wasn't horrible, but between the "stock flavor" and then the lackadaisical service staff you are downgraded to a two. read more

Red Rooster Cafe - Country Fried Steak breakfast platter. - New American Near Me - Danville, Kentucky

I miss Red Rooster! The service is always good, but now that it has been changed to AJ's, there have been changes, and not all for the better. I loved going in and getting the smoked sausage (no longer on the menu), and fried potatoes with breakfast, because they were cooked PERFECTLY! Just the right amount of crispiness! Now it seems like they are barely even cooked. Blah. The food is still decent, and the price is very reasonable, but it has been stepped down a notch or two. Also, they used to have free wifi, and I believe the last time we went, it was no longer available. Please, bring it back to it's former glory!! read more

Best home style small buffet breakfast bar on the weekends. Where all locals go. Throw back to early 80's roster Resteraunt.

I had breakfast here yesterday, it seems to have improved, my pancakes were really good. read more

Great hospitality and good food. We came around 2 right before closing and still had great service. Thank you from california visitor

This is a really good place to go for some good homemade breakfast and lunch I would give it 4 stars but they do need improvement in a few areas like service there good but could be a bit faster read more

VERY DISAPPOINTED AND SHOCKED!!!! So, today my daughter and I came in for some breakfast. Our waitress wasn't very talkative and that's fine. Our food was ok. We received 2 bills. I guess the waitress had assumed we wanted separate bills. When reviewing the bills, which I never really do but I did this time since they were separate bills. I notice I was charged $2.29 for something I couldn't read on my check. I asked the waitress what the charge was for. She then said it was for the ice tea in a rude manner. I said for 1 ice tea? She said yes, do you have a problem with the price? I said I guess, Its kind of a lot for a plain tea. She said well the prices are on the menu if you looked at it. I wasn't trying to get anything free. I just couldn't read the scribble on my check. I was just shocked. It wasn't a sweet tea...it was plain. They charge .99 cents for coffee. I was only just asking. She (owners daughter which was our waitress) proceeded to tell me that they are a family business and maybe I should go to Cracker Barrel and check out what they charge. I told her I'm not trying to be rude and she said, oh...I'm not either. (In a very sarcastic way) I feel she was so very rude and if that is her families business why would she want to act that way? I meant no disrespect and she was out of line. I was asking a simple question and she became defensive and abrasive. I will make sure I never return and neither will anyone I know. I will make sure I spread the word. I would think as a small business owner you would want to act in a professional manner. I guess not everyone cares. read more

Food was amazing! Burger, coleslaw, and fries were fantastic! Friendly staff couldn't ask for more!

AJ's Cafe, formerly Red Rooster Cafe, is a wonderful down-home country cookin' restaurant in the heart of Danville. Located on Main st just before you get to the post office, this quaint eatery has that warm, comforting food only mama could make. Favorites of mine are the breaded tenderloin, country fried steak, corn nuggets, and pinto beans. The sweet tea is always southern sweet like it should be, and their breakfast is great, too! read more

Great coffee shop. I've been there several times while visiting relatives in town. Good menu. Much better than that place from Seattle.

Best little restaurant in Danville. Country setting with family atmosphere. Many locals eat here regularly including our "My Town" country music singer, Eddie Montgomery. Lots of wonderful food to choose from as well as a buffet filled with down home country cooking. My favorite place. read more

Best Restaurant in Central Kentucky. Best green beans (with ham & onion) and fried cornbread you'll find anywhere. The fried fish is Awesome !!! Best country fried steak/ mashed potatoes topped with white pepper gravy you'll find anywhere. Lemon Icebox Pie is to die for. The food has been consistently great for over a year now. Once I made a suggestion to the owner or manager who was on duty that day that a specific food should be hotter. Within 2 minutes he brought out a sizzling hot, new plate of that food. The service here is top-notch every time. I visit about once a month. read more
