Pros: Nice staff, pretty quick service. Homemade rye bread is good. Not too pricey. Cons: I ordered a veggie omelette and it came with little actual vegetables. Also ordered a side of fruit instead of potatoes/grits and it was a VERY small portion of fruit. Overall, the taste is similar to Denny's. Nothing out of this world and there are much better breakfast options in Marco aka Doreen's. read more

After reading all the great reviews I wanted to try this place. Wow. What a complete disappointment. When I arrived, the place was dead. I wasn't even really greeted let alone anything friendly about the place. Nothing like what I experienced at other local spots. My waitress wasn't good at all. She wasn't very friendly. She wasn't suggestive nor helpful. After she took my order I never saw her again. Some other gal brought my food. I asked for extra butter. As you can see from the photo I received no butter at all. Let's add no silverware to that order. So by the time I received both, my food was cold. So let's talk about the food. Besides it being cold, it was not very good. My waffle was somewhat burnt and crispy. Didn't have much flavor. They don't serve real maple syrup. So for anyone with a corn or other food allergies this wouldn't be the place for you. I never saw one person after I got my food. No one asked how anything was. Nothing. And like I said, it wasn't very busy. Anyways. I hardly ate any of my food. I will not go back nor recommend this to anyone. read more

Red Rooster - Cold food. Burnt waffle. No butter or silverware. No service either. - Diners Near Me - Marco Island, Florida

This is one of the best places for breakfast / brunch or lunch on Marco Island. The food is good-very good. Occasionally during season (Spring Break especially), there will be at least a 15 minute wait before being sat. I got the Wednesday special, which was the Chicken Cordon Blue sandwich. It was pretty good. Not that awesome. read more

Red Rooster - The Wednesday special: Chicken Cordon Blue sandwich - Diners Near Me - Marco Island, Florida

We inquired about where to go for breakfast while visiting Marco Island. Everyone said Doreen's. So we went. The food was just OK, no flavor at all. But we looked up spots on our own and came across Red Rooster!! The food was GREAT & the price was EXCELLENT!! This is a no frill spot but full of flavor & kindness!!! We will definitely return here!!! read more

Excellent breakfast and service. Plentifully plates of food and many exceptional specialties dishes. Red Rooster has been around for many years and that's a lot to say in Marco Island. Much better than hotel breakfast spots, just see all the locals gathering there. read more

We just got into town and came here for brunch. We thought the food was good, fresh and excellent . The bread is home made and delish. I had an omelette and wife had a salad. Both were very good and the outdoor service was fine, but I am taking off a star because the hostess (maskless blonde lady) bragged about how Florida is an open state and no masks are required, while the staff wore them but she didn't. Shame on you. read more

Definitely our new favorite breakfast place. My partner, our son, and I went this morning and it was soooo good. We did have a mess up with my sons pancakes, that's why the 4 stars and not 5. But they handled it amazing and our waitress was the nicest. read more

Cute atmosphere tucked in a strip mall, clean and inviting. Got the shrimp Benedict and an omelette, both nicely done. The shrimp was fresh and cooked just right. Loved the rye toast if you are a bread fan, you'll appreciate it. I prefer to wear a mask so I will not return at this time, but recommend for those who are not picky about it. read more

We had a superb Sunday brunch here today! To start, the Bloody Mary and Mimosas were wonderful, and our entrees of omelette and shrimp avocado Benedict were delicious! We even got the outside seating which made us more comfortable in these COVID times. The service was good and the owner was checking to make sure people were happy. Would definitely recommend this restaurant and will be coming back! read more

Amazing food. Very consistent and the owner is super friendly. Waitresses are kind and very nice. Best breakfast on Marco island!

I would not recommend this restaurant for people who are coming in from out of town. The food wasn't terrible but overpriced for the portions. I was charged for their mess ups like we had a Sierra Mist that wasn't drank more than 1 sip and we asked for a orange crush instead and we got billed for both. You have to pay for every small add on possible, peppers, onions, etc. I had fajitas and my rice was covered in black beans and I didn't know that it would be so I asked for just rice and I got billed extra for rice and beans which was $5 more aside from the $16.99 for the chicken fajitas. I went with 4 other people and we spent $105.89 without the tip. I'm convinced there are better breakfast and lunch spots in the area without even looking for any more. read more

Great breakfast. An uncrowded spot off of the hotel beaten path. The food is great. Omelets are five eggs, so be prepared. The Belgian waffle is excellent. The staff is friendly and there is usually only a small wait. It isn't super noisy, either. And dog friendly. If you have a car and are tired of waiting to eat breakfast, head down San Marco to this great breakfast place. Oh - and it is 30% less than any place on the hotel path. read more

Ugh... so disappointed to be writing this, but new ownership is killing a great restaurant. Service has gone way down, they've switched to cheapo ketchup - and Pepsi! Products! Food is still ok, but the all new staff is really not up to the task. Also, a small thing but indicative of the new owner's non customer-centric operating style: the tv plays FoxNews (former owner had Weather Channel on). Politics aside (I watch Fox) it's just a tone deaf and senselessly partisan thing to do. Why alienate x percent of your customer base? read more

All five of us loved our meals - turkey wrap, Philly cheese steak, turkey club, chicken tenders, fries, potato salad, and biscuits & gravy! Everything was fresh and flavorful. The service was great and the staff was very accommodating. They even whipped up an amazing garlic aioli on the spot on request! My company said next time they visit we need to eat at Red Rooster multiple times. read more

First let me start off with the service. The person at the door was already taking out menus before we even walked in and when we sat down we were instantly asked about drinks. After we ordered drinks they came out within seconds. The food was excellent and the waffles I got were fluffy and moist. The decor in the restaurant was very nice and simple and the temperature was a perfect cool. The bathrooms were clean and roomy. This place is, in my opinion, one of the best breakfast places on the island. read more

First time coming, and it definitely won't be my last. Super friendly staff and intimate breakfast place! Felt like home. The biscuits and gravy were the best I've ever had. read more

Love coming here for breakfast and lunch. Make sure you try the California Scramble. Also, pay attention to their daily specials on the board. They can be pretty amazing. read more

Having spent many weekends here on Marco, I was always curious about Red Rooster. Place always seemed busy and a fellow foodie (Sef Gonzalez alias Burger Beast)had some good things to say about the food here. First a disclaimer, I am not a fan of breakfast foods. My son and I arrive around 8:05 am on Saturday. It was busy but we managed to score a table. We ordered The Tarra and Huevos Santa Fe. Food took 25 minutes or so to arrive at our table, a little too long for basically egg dishes. My son and fellow foodie was not excited about The Tara. I can usually tell he is not a fan of food when he makes no remarks upon first mouthful! Soon I see him pile on the salt, anything to get his food tasting good :-) My Huevos Santa Fe were OK, nothing special add to that how long the dishes took and you get three stars for effort. Prices are reasonable and service was just OK. I did have to ask for additional napkins from the hostess. Place is spotless and if you are married to a mr or mrs clean they would have no problem eating here. Marco has a few breakfast joints that are all OK with the exception of the upscale and expensive Doreens. I like it but certainly its nothing to rave about. read more

On vacation and went to wrong breakfast restaurant. Order one biscuit and was charged 10$ . Omelette was terrible, bacon overcooked, egg was like rubber...sorry but we won't be back. read more

We have eaten here twice since being on a 4 day vacation. The breakfast is great and the service is also great. You can tell this is a more local spot which is something we try to find on vacation. The food comes out hot and fast. I had French toast and the Santa Fe both were wonderful. Definitely recommend!! read more

This was our first time to Red Rooster and we liked it a lot! Everyone was so kind and welcoming, it was clear this is more of a locals spot (which is what I look for anywhere and everywhere!) the food was great and very flavorful, menu was both breakfast and brunch items, but we stuck with breakfast. I highly recommend it!!! read more

Love this little diner. Yummy think toasts, lean corn beef hash, pleasant servers. Maybe cuz we showed up at 1:30pm but it was not busy like the craziness at Doreen's when we went there at 11:30am. read more

This was actually the best breakfast, I've have ever had, in my LIFE! Eggs Benedict were to die for. Great atmosphere and staff also.

Have been to the Red Rooster in Marco many times & have always loved the ambiance & the food. Went again this weekend but not as great of an experience. Ordered the coconut french toast & found a long string in the food! The waitress spoke to the kitchen staff & they said it was from the cook's dish rag! She offered to bring me a new order but I told her it was ok as I didn't want to wait for it nor make a big deal of the situation. I was disappointed & shocked to see the plate was still on our bill, they really should have taken it off. We paid our bill, but probably won't be coming back. What happened to customer service? read more

Friendly, friendly, friendly. They are so friendly! I felt like I was home. And a unique spin on choice serving quality food made well. This isn't a chain. This is mom kitchen - and trust me: You will never walk away hungry! Don't miss this chance. Go. Enjoy! read more

I don't usually leave reviews but I wish someone had left a review like this so I would've known not to come here. Very startling to see a restaurant operating without social distancing measures in place and NO employees were wearing masks. Also, food wasn't good. My entire party barely touched their entrees. read more

Favorite restaurant we ate at during our time. Madeline was the sweetest waitress and very attentive and helpful!! Food was delicious as well and came quickly. The whole vibe of the restaurant was amazing, felt like home. Would come again and again read more

Best breakfast brunch place I have visited in the island. Customer service and attention to detail was great. Food was so fresh and so tasteful. Will definitely go back more often. read more

Ate here many times and love the lobster quiche and Mexican scramble is good too. Nothing disappointing at each visit.

Delicious breakfast spot on Marco Island. I had the Tara-a cheesy grit bacon parfait. Delicious. Staff is very friendly. Dogs are welcome outside and they have water bowls for them! I appreciate dog friendly. read more

We love to eat here for breakfast. My daughter had the pancakes - definitely a top 5 favorite. Try their pancakes, waffles, bacon and sausage. Get there early to grab your favorite spot. The rooster decor makes the atmosphere perfect. Good amount of outdoor seating available too. read more

I had the pancake combo with eggs and bacon, the bacon was crispy and very good, pancakes were good as well, and the eggs were good when you add a little salt and pepper. Food: good, 4/5 Service: good, very friendly, 5/5 Cleanliness: very clean, 5/5 Value: a little more expensive than most places, 3/5 Would I go back?: yes read more

We are locals and Red Rooster and Bistro Soleil are our go-to restaurants for breakfast. This a nothing-fancy, old-style diner with a friendly staff and good food. Good sized portions, fresh ingredients (their bread is great), and reasonable prices. The owner is always checking on guests to make sure you are happy. Highly recommend for the service, food quality and reasonable prices. read more

The bacon and pancakes are to die for. The prices not expensive also it's never that crowded. But some people may be disturbed by all the roosters in the room. They are obviously not real though. read more

Loved this restaurant! We were welcomed to come in for lunch even though the restaurant would be closing soon. The food was fresh and delicious! Our server was attentive and served our food in a timely manner. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Eggs must have been from a nearby farm - the yolks were so golden and tasty. Everything was yummy, well prepared and service was outstanding. Coffee pretty good too. Bread was excellent. read more

Red Rooster - Diners Near Me - Marco Island, Florida

Red Rooster is an awesome place for breakfast or an early lunch! Their chicken ranch wrap is my favorite! So yummy!

Pretty sub par. The best part of our meal was the biscuits and gravy, everything else was just ok. We had a new server so I guess it wasn't her fault for not being able to answer the two questions we had about the menu. However, what really did us over was the manager interrupted our server in the middle of our order to ask a question that could have been answer after we had completed. Everyone seemed very friendly and nice but overall not very impressed, probably won't come back read more

Slow service and served burnt blueberry pancakes which they tried to "hide" by placing burnt side down between 3.

I do not like their omelets. They are eggs that are "stuffed" with fillings, kind of like a taco - when you try to eat it everything just falls out. I prefer omelets were the ingredients are cooked in the egg and the only item that is folded into the omelette is the cheese. Everything else was fine, people at my table seemed to like their breakfast (note they did not eat the omelet!) read more
