Ohhhhhh man! The St. Louis food scene is a foodie must stop ! 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 . read more

Waited 10 minutes after being seated for a server to stop by. After order was taken it was a 40 minute wait, and in the meantime the server never stopped by our table. Food delivered by someone else. Food was good enough to score 4 stars. Had to track someone down to be able to pay. Person who took our order never came back to our table the entire time. Not a single person ever came by to see if we wanted more water or anything else. Will never go back. read more

I stopped by Rooster and was reminded why it's such a local favorite. The atmosphere is bright, lively, and welcoming--the kind of place that instantly puts you in a good mood. The menu has so many creative twists on breakfast and lunch classics that it's hard to choose just one thing. Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. You can tell they care about quality ingredients and thoughtful combinations. The service was friendly and efficient which made the experience feel smooth and enjoyable. Portions are generous without being overwhelming, and every bite felt satisfying. It's a great spot whether you're meeting friends, grabbing a casual date, or treating yourself to a solo brunch. Rooster consistently delivers comfort food with personality. Definitely a go-to for a delicious and reliable brunch in St. Louis. read more

We didnt know what Rooster was until I was scrolling through door dash and was like its close let's go try it. We went in and immediately were sat. The place is a decent size place with outdoor seating that's covered. The menu is the perfect size. We ordered the Cuban and the pork slinger. I wanted to try to gooey butter pancakes and was able to order just a single one which was perfect. The food came out and the food was the perfect size portions. Everything was flavorful. We will definitely go back. read more

We came in about thirty minutes after opening on a weekday, and there was plenty of seating! But people definitely come in soon after so if you're coming in on a weekend I'd definitely come early and plan for parking because I can see how it would fill up fast. The seating is a bit strange, it's aligned like long tables next to each other in the main room so it can feel a bit cramped if it's busy. Our host and server were both wonderful and kind, everything came out quick. I got the chicken crepe and the chocolate mocha. The mocha was alright but I'm not really a chocolate person- but if you're a chocolate lover I would recommend it! I LOVED my chicken crepe, there was plenty of chicken, tons of flavor, crepe was cooked to perfection, and the sauce was amazing. I dream of that chicken crepe, definitely coming back for that again, soon. read more

Its tight space at the bar but didn't have to wait, so that was a win. Got menu and water quickly, however the glass had lip stain, so absolutely not. Took a minute for them to come back to me also, so much so that some overly talkative guy that sat beside me immediately got to order and I still had to wait 5 more minutes (great). I ordered the Farmer Breakfast (subbed the sausage/bacon for v. version) they opted to not season anything, the vegan sausage can not hold up mine if it tried (I could taste the sodium but not much else), the eggs were warm to cold, the potatoes were meh. The drip coffee was ok, but they just never checked back with me and I had to make deliberate eye contact to get a refill. That being said, I mainly came for coffee and whatever would come with it so ...le sigh. Overall assessment 2/5 not returning. But they are not worst ever, just my worst local brunch establishment; I could have made such a better meal with little effort, but I needed fresh air and wanted to try a new to me Breakfast location. read more

We usually love coming here. This morning I got on the list quite 20 mins in advance despite no wait because we have a larger party coming. We got there and I let the hostess know we were on the list, she asked my name and said "yeah that's gonna take a while because I'll need to wait for people to get up so we can seat you." As someone who was a server/host for 6 years, I don't understand why that wasn't something you did when I got on the list 20 mins ago? Why are you not being proactive? The food took a long time despite it not being crazy busy and I swear to god the bathrooms were just locked. I stood there for a good 10 mins before just deciding to change my children in the car. Usually you guys do better than this. read more

Came here after a race downtown and it was definitely worth the wait! We loved that the venue was dog friendly and the drinks were delicious. The portions were more than enough to fill us up. Unfortunately, one dish in our party was delayed - they forgot to leave off arugula. But everything was delicious and we left smiling read more

Visited on a Saturday around 12:30 with a group of six. Was surprised we were seated so quickly because it was packed. Ordered the vegan slinger which is sour dough bread topped with Rooster potatoes, tofu egg, vegan sausage and vegan gravy. I wish I remembered that I had ordered the same dish in the past. Not very good. I think it was the sausage that was overly salty. And, the gravy was very odd tasting....bland but with spices? IDK. My husband ordered the biscuits and gravy with an extra biscuit. Comes with two eggs and Rooster potatoes. He described his meal as mediocre. Coffee was not hot. Service is extremely slow. The two star rating came from the atmosphere. Fun open space with long communal tables. read more

This is my second time at Rooster and I've had nothing but great experiences all around. When I came in I was seated and my order was taken promptly. I ordered the lemon crepe with chicken sausage patties on the side. By the photos I've seen online of the lemon crepe I was hesitant that the combination of the lemon curd, berry compote, and streusel topping was going to be overwhelmingly sweet, but for me personally all of it was the perfect amount of sweetness. It wasn't overly sweet, and all of the ingredients complimented one another. Overall my experience was great!! read more

Rooster - South Grand - Lemon crepe with streusel on the side - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Tried Rooster for breakfast and had a mixed experience. I ordered the sweet potato hash and the biscuits & gravy. The hash was unfortunately the low point for me, I'd give it a 4/10. It lacked seasoning and depth, and overall just didn't come together the way I was hoping. On the flip side, the biscuits & gravy were solid, definitely the highlight at an 8/10. The biscuits were soft and well-made, and the gravy had good flavor and richness without being too heavy. Overall, it was a bit of a split decision meal. I'd come back for the biscuits & gravy, but probably skip the hash next time. read more

We ended up eating here after the STL Marathon (we had 2-runners in the group of 3). They were busy, but service was also slow, and our waitress came to the table to take our order, bring drinks, and then bring the tab. We were missing coffees after being told it was on its way, and my meal was made incorrectly, so I had to flag down another part of the wait staff to get our own waitress, so I could get the correct meal. That being said, the re-make came out quickly, but the people I was with were nearly done with their meal by the time I got mine. We sat on the patio with my service animal, and were able to enjoy the breeze. There were other dogs on the patio as well, and the dog owners were respectful with giving us space. read more

Whenever we came in to get our table, we saw the rustic modern aesthetics. The line looked like there was a wait. But the restaurant just opened. The line went fast. And we were brought by the hostess to our table. A lot of the tables were connected. Then, our waiter came over to our table. He took our drink order. Our waiter was pretty new working here, and a bit slow taking our orders. I kind of get it. Seats were a bit bouncy since no back support. And of course, I ordered a vanilla shake. For my entree, I ordered the Goat And Cheese Omelette with Ham. The omelette came out slow, but crispy and the ham was plentiful and perfectly cooked. The arugula was a nice garnish for a photo. What an amazing time I had at Rooster. read more

Our server was new but he was not very attentive. It took him too long to do anything. I got the ham and jam sandwich with the potatoes and a side of gravy. Gravy was gross and the potatoes had a weird seasoning on it. Didn't eat either. The sandwich was the best thing. My son got the pork slinger and he hated it. He didn't eat any of his food. The gravy was gross. I ended up giving him one of my ham and jam sandwiches. I would not suggest going here. They are slow and the food is too expensive to not be that good. read more

This is a cute and spacious place with friendly staff and comfortable setting. The service did take a long time but there was a large party seated before ours and were told there was one chef and one chef in training. We were kept updated by our very friendly waiter who kept drinks filled and answered all of our questions. I want to start with my meal of biscuits and gravy which came with two eggs and potato's which were absolutely delicious. The whole plate was divine with one exception. One biscuit was very hard and couldn't be fully eaten due to this. The scrambles are delicious and the chimchurri amazing. When asked the waiter said everything is made in house and it tasted as if it was when it came to the eggs and even the soft biscuit. The gravy was delicious and everyone loved the potato's which rather than being hash browns or home fries were true cut up fried potatoes that were well seasoned. The coffee and lemonade were delicious! The one thing no one liked was the crepes which were too thick and rubbery in texture. While the flavor was good, the texture and thickness was just a turn off. In fact, my daughter had been looking so forward to crepes she ordered two different kinds and did not like either. The waiter was very accommodating and fair in that they were both removed from the bill because she did try to eat them and ate enough that we should have paid for what was eaten.... But a discount for the portion she did not eat was discounted and we were charged for the new meal she ordered. I was happy with that solution and thought it a compromise that I wouldn't have complained had they not made because she did get what she ordered and tried to eat it, just didn't care for it. Now the replacement meal with the chorizo scramble and she absolutely loved that. She said it was delicious and took her leftovers home to eat tomorrow. Overall, I really enjoyed my breakfast here as did some of my party of six while others did not and I think it came down to choices made in ordering. Would I go back? Most definitely! I look forward to trying other delicious dishes that they have on their menu. read more

I hadn't been to a Roosters in ages but it was time for a friend date and this was the perfect place!! All the windows and family style seating with wall seating as well!! We sat at the bar and Jourdan was the best! Yea that's how it's spelled!! But he made the best expresso martinis with actual expresso!!! I truly enjoyed my Tuesday friend date at Roosters. read more

Rooster - South Grand - Expresso Martini - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

This was a cute breakfast spot! The service was probably the highlight here; our server was quite sweet and fast, and assisted my party in splitting our check efficiently. Most of the food was just serviceable, based on what my party ordered. My friend and I ordered the Vegan Slinger and the Rooster Slinger respectively, and they were just alright. It needed to have the flavors and proportions balanced a little better, since it was heavy on gravy. My other friend got the Chicken Crepe and said it was one of her favorite breakfast meals she's had, though she would have portioned the included tomatoes differently as well. For drinks, I got the Mocha, and that was well made (I am picky about espresso drinks, and I had no complaints here). Overall, we would return here with different orders, since the ambiance and service were great, and we would love to give the food another chance. read more

Came here with our family on a rainy Wednesday morning. Walked in and were seated quickly. Ordered the Rooster Slinger, Chicken Crepe, Strawberries and Cream Crepe, and Berries and Cream Pancakes. Pancakes were enormous. Slinger was good sized. Crepes were savory and delicious. Quiet ambiance with long tables and family style seating was nice. read more

Rooster has taken a nose-dive. Today, our order wasn't right, what was served was cold. The restroom was filthy. It's like the building hasn't been maintained...let along the quality maintained. It's sad, Rooster was our go to. After the Clayton closure, I guess the Bailey group is having financial issues b/c shortly there after Rooster began to slip. Today, was terrible. read more

We waited for about twenty minutes for our server to come to our table. No water or anything. Once we ordered, it took another 20+ minutes to get our drinks. We asked for plates for our appetizer, that took another 20 minutes. It was not crazy busy in there. Our mimosa glasses had food remnants in them, our silverware was dirty, my food wasn't good, and the bathroom floor downstairs had urine in multiple places. It was not worth the over two hours we spent there. read more

Large space for breakfast / brunch or lunch conveniently located on South Grand. Parking in the back. Large open space in the restaurant on long tables which works well. Service was attentive and accommodating for a group of us. I enjoyed my vegan dish, although wish they could offer a bit more for gf customers. Can get alcohol or nonalcoholic drinks. Nice place you can count on for consistent choices. read more

I enjoyed the aesthetics and the layout of the restaurant. The music was fantastic and gave a great vibe to the restaurant. I also enjoyed the service (Eddie), the server was very kind and offered suggestions since this was my first time. I ordered the farmers plate as I enjoy variety. The bacon was delicious but everything else was okay. I ordered French toast instead of regular toast. The French toast seemed like it was missing something. My food also didn't come out hot and I asked to warm up. $20 for food that doesn't come out hot wasn't cool. Overall it was a decent experience and may return to try something different on the menu. read more

Waited 30 min, which, wasn't bad. From sitting down to getting our food, 1.5 hours. Server got us waters to start. We asked for some menus, which took awhile to arrive. Drink orders (outside of water) wasn't terribly complicated, a few coffees and hot chocolates. Forgot one hot chocolate, took about 20 min to get that. Food came in waves. Aside from that taking quite a bit of time as well to arrive, the yogurt and granola that was forgotten about, took another 15 min to arrive. We sat at our table for 2 hours from getting seated to food finished. I feel as a restaurant, that's something they wouldn't want, but here we are. read more

There was a bit of a wait. Fortunately, they have a wait list and we were seated around the time they estimated. It also seemed to be able to accommodate larger parties. Food was good. My scramble could have used a sauce as it ate a little dry but the flavors were good. The churro donuts were dense and not my favorite. My kid had the farmers platter with a pancake and loved it. It was a nicer day so we sat on the patio. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. Will definitely eat here again. The menu is worth exploring. 4.5 stars read more

Super busy for brunch on the weekends but they still manage to find h seating! The workers are hard working and very fast. The inside is spacious with lots of seating. The bathrooms were pretty clean as well. I got the chicken Caesar salad and left nothing on the plate. It was so tasty and filling! My friend also got super full off her juicy burger. I would definitely come here again for brunch and try a breakfast item next time. They have fun drinks too! read more

They were seating people at the long neverending tables 1 seat away from one another. Typically that would not bother me but it just seemed crowded. We ended up sitting at a table alone which I was happy about. Our waitress might have been new. She was friendly but it did take us a while to get boxes and a check. She checked on us at the end and we paid and left. The food is always just okay, nothing amazing but good for a quick breakfast. It was very crowded for a Monday morning but the noise level was average read more

Rooster S. Grand Quick Review (1-5) Food: 5 People: 5 Ambience: 4 Everything I wanted. Rooster has all my breakfast favorites, reimagined versions, and options to push my breakfast boundaries. My group shared the brisket chili slinger (I didn't know I liked chili for brunch, turns out I do, and you could easily split this between 2 people), the bacon, goat cheese, red onions, arugula, tomato jam (wooow), and pesto (double wooow) scramble (yes, the scrambles could use easier names to order, and yes, everything melted together in the most beautiful taste), and the roasted apple crepe (y-u-m). When I say we split, I mean we all ate way more than we should've and had a bit of a food coma we had to walk off, so it's a good amount of food for your money. Also, there's a wonderful selection of breakfast drinks (coffee, tea, and adult beverages). Ample amount of cafeteria style seating, though they do their best to provide some privacy between seating groups, and each setting feels cut and cozy. There's inside and uncovered outside seating (as available) and they use a phone based wait list, so you are not tied to a cramped standing only waiting space. The fact we stayed through a 20 minute wait says something about the promise and delivery, because I'm impatient but it was well worth it. read more

Food was fantastic! Service was even better!! Our new favorite for breakfast and brunch

I've been to this Rooster location a handful of times and it's a pretty solid spot. The interior space is super open and bright, but can be a little loud and hard to hear during peak hours. The community style seating looks pretty, but in practicality isn't my favorite thing. The menu has standard brunch offerings, and while I enjoyed my food and latte, it wasn't anything groundbreaking. Our server was quick and friendly and it was the first time I paid with a QR code receipt, which made it convenient for our group to pay separately. Overall, Rooster is conveniently located and worth trying if you're around the area and you'll get what you'd expect from a typical brunch place. read more

I was there for Mother's Day. We waited over an hour over our original wait time and once seated it took at least 20 mi minutes before our order was taken but then another hour for our food. When we put our name on the list our time was approximately 11:15-11:30 it was all but 3 when we left. They were SEVERELY understaffed for it being Mother's Day I expected for the is to be a little slower but that was ridiculous. I will say I did really enjoy the bacon cheddar pancake and the biscuits were fire. read more

The service: 5 stars. First - we had a great experience with the service. Seated promptly, greeted by a kind person who answered all of our questions. I ordered a gluten free crepe and the chef came out and said they were out of the MO sausage and if I would like to swap for ham. Great service. The food: Woof. Please see my photo. I ordered a gluten free crepe, which I have had at other locations before. The crepe mixture was *not* cooked. It was a globular wet mess and it was like eating raw Bisquik and that is not how gluten free crepes are. It was a sticky mess. I was with a friend who loved her entree and I did not want to cause a scene so I just scraped the meat, apples, and cheese, what I could, out of the crepe and ate those bits and moved on... I am not saying I won't return - but I was so triggered by the texture of this... I mean you can see the photo for yourself... I may not be able to order another crepe anywhere again without seeing the finished product before ordering it. Gluten-free peeps beware. read more

Service was very inattentive, even though it looked like a pretty slow day. For example, we all got coffees and only some members of our party got a refill, and we were there for ~2 hours (and we had to ask multiple times even for that). It was a bummer to pay for a coffee with refills and not get any. My friend's sandwich came with (I kid you not) visibly moldy bread. I liked the dish I ordered (goat cheese scramble), but the potatoes were a bit cold. It's a shame bc it seems like the place has a lot of potential: the vibe is good, the menu has some great-looking items on it, but I think they need to pay more attention to the quality of service and food, especially since it's priced above average. read more
