    The savory crepes were a bit dry, and the nutella crepe with fruit was good initially but gets pretty sweet. The side of potatoes were just okay - not sure if we'd order them again. But the BBQ dish was a seasonal item that apparently just got placed on the menu today, and that was delicious! It took a bit of time for our food to arrive, but service was super friendly and attentive!

    Food was good, went à la cart to get the specifics I wanted. Inside is bright and pretty cool. Staff was nice, I'd recommend during the weekday if you want a good meal.

    Brisket slopper no egg

    Loved it so much the first morning I went back again! This time treated the brisket slopper and it was great! Highly recommend. Service was a bit slow; had to ask for a bunch of things (more coffee, refills, etc.)

    Again the food tasted well but it wasn't hot at all... not even warm. Also they have a server, i want to say his name was Justin. He has the personality of a potato... Probably my last time visiting.

    I should've checked the reviews before coming here but service was incredibly slow. The food was fine - the French toast was perfectly cooked, the fruit salad was washed and clean (but provided little variety, just grapes blueberries and a green apples), and the egg and potatoes were very salty. Since my food took a while to come out, I anticipated that it would be hot, but most of it was luke warm. The decorations inside are on-theme featuring lots of roosters, as statues, paintings, and vinyl. It's a relaxed atmosphere for sure.

    This is not the place to go if you are in a hurry. But if you have a leisurely morning and want to meet friend(s) for brunch, this spot is perfect. The food is amazing and for the portions you get, the price is right (2026). The staff does their best under tough conditions.

    It was a busy morning at Roosters Downtown but the service was great. We were seated way faster than I expected to be. The server was polite and efficient even though the place was crowded. The sign of an experienced wait staff! For me, the food was just so-so. The biscuit was a bit dry and the potatoes over cooked and greasy. The dining area was loud. I wish restaurants would pay more attention to sound when designing their spaces. But I do love the paintings on the walls!!

    This place was super tasty! Staff were friendly and amazingly attentive. Food was good. I thought the shakshuka slinger was delicious. Would totally come back someday!

    I hate breakfast. Never eat anything related to it if I can help it. Well... I heard amazing things about Rooster, and I just had to check it out. The prices seemed a little high, but just figured it was city pricing. I was not ready for what I experienced. We walked in just after opening and the place was cheery and ready, with excellent lighting and fun staff members. We ordered. I see why the prices are what they are. Everything from the drinks to the sauces to the food is made in house and is farm to table. The portions are ginormous. You can taste the freshness. The coffees have good-for-you milks and ingredients. I don't like French toast, and this was arguably the best breakfast I've ever had, and now love French toast. THIS PLACE IS A MUST!!

    We had a large group and they got us in fast at a community table. They warned us that food was taking 50 minutes to come out as they were backed up. Waiter was friendly but haggled. Food came out much quicker than warned even though mine came out 5 minutes later than the other 7 in our party. My only real complaint was that the food was just not that great. Potatoes were overcooked and tastes strange, eggs also had a strange flavor. Chicken sausage was decent and toast was good. But overall disappointed.

    This location provides a great atmosphere. It's not too busy and the servers are always friendly. The food is great, and always delivers . The service is fast and efficient.

    Tasty for breakfast, friendly service, and equally friendly patrons. Central bar area, tables surrounding it, high ceilings and windows, and of course, a metal rooster sculpture at the front. Apple crumble pancakes were very good. Pork sausage patty was large and dense, not my favorite. 3.5 stars but rounding up seems reasonable.

    First time here and dont know if we will be back. There was a 35-40 min wait, no biggie. Then we were seated. It was hot inside the restaurant, very hot. So hot our waiter was visible sweating, and we were sweating just sitting there. Not sure if this place had air-conditioning or if it was broken but it was hot. They should have had fans.. I don't know if they were short staffed or just slow moving restaurant, but it took forever for everything. But the food finally came and it was good. But not worth sitting ans sweating and taking 3 hours from walk in to walk out. And I think it was over priced. 3 meals and our bill was close to 80.00. But if u have nothing better to do and want to wait and sweat this might be ur place to try out.

    Do you offer a free brunch or any other birthday specials?

    Do they do weekend brunch mimosa specials?

    Hi Melissa, We do not have a mimosa special, but we do have special mimosas :) Hope to see you soon!

    How is the parking situation?

    There is a small lot behind the restaurant. Otherwise it's street parking on South grand which can get very crowded

    There are so many more top brunch places in St. Louis-- Egg, Polite Society, Songbird, Bowood,…read moreBellwhether, Have a Cow Cattle, Clover and the Bee-- but I keep coming to Half and Half because it's relatively less expensive, simple, fresh food, and I am always able to snag a table on a busy Saturday or Sunday morning. There's a waitlist through Google, too.0 It's been around for awhile and always busy with locals so I think it's stood the test of time. If you haven't been here before, get the Clara Cake (13.5) or they're considerate enough or I have single slices of the Clara and other famous toasts / pancakes that range from 5-6.5 to try. Everything else is simple and fresh. You might leave a tiny bit hungry or 80% full which is good place to be Also parking is easy ish since there's a neighborhood nearby and after all it's just St. Louis not SF or LA!

They seated us at a long table with people at the other end, but we still had ample space. To started our meal, we ordered a hot chocolate and coffee, along with some of the delicious doughnuts. Those doughnuts were scrumptious, and I even made sure to save one chocolate for after my breakfast. For my main course, I opted for the BBLT, which was an enormous sandwich filled with all the classic ingredients: bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, over-easy egg, and aioli. It was served on a wheat bun with breakfast potatoes, making it a hearty and satisfying meal to kickstart my day. We also shared a giant blueberry pancake, which was a complete meal in itself. I'm still reminiscing about that delicious pancake along with everything else and can't wait to return to this place for another delightful brunch experience!

    On my first visit to Rooster, I quickly discovered why it's such a beloved St. Louis brunch spot…read more We chose it for a family brunch to celebrate my son's 21st birthday, and it turned out to be the perfect place for the occasion. The atmosphere was bright, lively, and welcoming, creating a fun and relaxed setting for our celebration. The menu features creative twists on breakfast and lunch classics, making it difficult to decide what to order. Everything we selected arrived fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The quality of the ingredients was evident, and each dish was thoughtfully prepared with great attention to detail. A special thank you to Veronica, our server, who was friendly, attentive, and efficient throughout our visit. She helped make our celebration even more enjoyable with her warm hospitality and excellent service. The portions were generous without being overwhelming, and every bite was satisfying. Whether you're gathering with family, meeting friends, or treating yourself to brunch, Rooster delivers comfort food with creativity and consistency. Our family had a wonderful experience celebrating such a special milestone, and after this first visit, I can confidently say we'll be back the next time we're in St. Louis. Highly recommended!

    Ohhhhhh man! The St. Louis food scene is a foodie must stop…read more! We popped into Rooster - South Grand today and it was clear they had just been slammed and were recovering from breakfast rush but we still were greeted and seated with a smile and great conversation with our hostess. Had a moment to check out the merch - cute ! Coffee, "eat local "swag , etc . We opted for slinger dishes , I chose the vegan slinger (Tofu eggs ,vegan sausage ,roasted potatoes, vegan gravy on a fat pice of sourdough ) and hubby went with rooster slinger version . We happily devoured our meals , yum. They do offer vegan crepes here ,which is a RARE find . The only gripe here is they don't have anything spicy ... Sure they've got Tabasco and things like that but some real spice would have set the dishes off . Sticky icky salt and pepper shakers & syrup bottles and The bathrooms downstairs really needed some love and cleaning , even the stairs leading to the restrooms were full of cobwebs . Nothing that would keep me from coming back but the state of the bathrooms didn't match the vibe . The service here was wonderful .

    We were in Saint Charles for a breakfast date and thought this would be a nice place to check out…read more On paper it seemed ok. The interior is small, about 20 seats spread across different tables. There is an area to place orders, but that's for carry out. You also check in there and then grab any open table if you are going to eat in. The interior is decorated with random stuff that is meant to look French, but just makes it appear cluttered. We ordered a couple of breakfasts and waited for a while for them to come out. Coffee was basic and the London fog was really watered down. But the worst was when the food came, I ordered over easy eggs, and the came out way undercooked. Like, still very liquid. But since our server never came back to check on us, I ate everything else. While we waited, we heard them explain to someone that they don't make most of their pastries, which was disappointing. When our sever finally came back to drop off the check I showed her the eggs and asked for them to be taken off the bill. She tapped on the handheld device for a second and handed it to me for payment. When I asked for a copy of the receipt, she seemed nervous. After I got it, i noticed that it had not been taken off. She left to go to other tables and I didn't feel like being there anymore. I would suggest skipping this place and trying the other restaurants in the area. Better food and better service!
