I'm staving off a food coma as I write this - forgive me. I've had several really good breakfast meals at the Rooster. Today I tried French toast for the first time: amazing. Can recommend pancakes as well. Great bacon. We've never had to wait for a table, we're always 4 or less. Food takes the appropriate amount of time and tastes fresh. Today's sausage pattie I swear was oinking yesterday on a farm nearby. Don't hold me to that. They are doing a really great job here and it's been a welcome addition. Today my husband got the hungry farmers platter: good lord. Feta and 3 eggs over homefries with onions? I wouldn't have ordered that, and I'd have never known how delicious it could be. I most highly recommend the Rooster. (Out of towners: Go during church hours on Sunday) read more

We've been waiting for this new restaurant to open. It officially opened on 12/8/21. We stopped in on their second day so we expected the new staff to still be in training. They close at 3p so we arrived a little after 2p so it wouldn't be crazy busy. The inside has been beautifully renovated so everything is new and clean. The waitstaff was excellent as was the service. We had a little wait for our food but again, everyone is learning so it wasn't an issue for us. I ordered the California omelette and it was a WOW! Great flavor cooked perfect. The sausage gravy came steaming hot and was great as well. It's rare that I leave a restaurant 110% satisfied but today I did. The food was perfect! My husband ordered the Meemaw Platter- don't you just love that name? It came with a little bit of everything. He commented that the grits were steaming hot, which was unusual. In other restaurants they are usually served warm at best. They offer an extensive menu with lunch options as well such as burgers, subs, etc. We are thrilled to have found a breakfast place other than what is currently in this market. We are excited to return. read more

Rusty Rooster Southern Breakfast - Front photo - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mount Airy, North Carolina

Went there on New Years Day. No wait to be seated. Many many food choices. Food was very good but it took a while to get. There was a very large party that came in just before us. We think the kitchen was either under staffed or concentrated on the large party. The food was worth the wait but hopefully next time won't be quite as long to get served. read more

The food is excellent at Rusty Rooster! I have only had breakfast there but it's been really good every time. The service is mostly great also. I recommend it as a place to go for a quality breakfast every time! read more

We arrived about 9am. Food tasted good but seemed like we were eating warmed up food. Beacon was way too done and not barely warm. Seemed like all our food was barely warm. But I would return here for breakfast and hope the food is fresher. Great atmosphere. Waiter acted like he just woke up. read more

Great food and awesome friendly service. The place is really cool and we'll be back for sure!

Food was really good the service was the down side took us 25 minutes to get our drinks after order only reason it didn't get 5 star. Ambiance was very nice. Will eat again and hope for different server read more

I cant begin to express how amazing this restaurant is. Its very clean.. Spacious and the wait staff is amazing. The food is to die for!!! Not only is the food really good... But the amount you get for 1 person could feed an army!! Today my husband and i went for the first time..... We couldnt finish our food because there was just so much and the best part.... It only cost us $17.00 I cant wait to go again... This is an absolute must visit if you are ever in town or even a local. read more

This is my new favorite place when I come to Mount Airy. Try the papas & huevos. The biscuits are good and so are the waffles!

Great breakfast food & great service! Large restaurant that's well staffed, so we did not have to wait for a table on a busy Saturday morning. read more

Great food. Staff was awesome. Quick to seat at lunch. Breakfast tacos were a great value and lots of food.

First time eating here and last. All the food was barely warm, It was almost cold. I was not by any means impressed with the food. Who wants to pay that much and get food that is barely warm...Not me read more

Great food great service. Fun for breakfast, especially after a hard night Reccomend! read more

Yum! Yum! Yum! Biscuits, check! Sausage gravy, check! Poached eggs, check! Service, check! Enough said.

We set up my first order and they forgot the beans , the food it's little expensive that we tougth, they have a lot of people on sundays , but the food is good, I recommend it, they should put more attention x take out orders , I called them back x refund money x the besns but they put me on hold x more than 20 minutes, I didn't get my money back read more

I hope that this place makes it! They did a great job renovating a former Sagebrush Stk house. Great menu with good prices. Service was very good and quick. A definite improvement over the usual breakfast/lunch menus out there. The 94.5 Health inspection is not acceptable though, please train and correct shortcomings... read more

I'm so glad Rusty Rooster opened. We were needing a good breakfast restaurant with excellent service and delicious food. The Rusty Rooster didn't let us down. I always look forward to eating at the Rusty Rooster. read more

We had business in Mount airy one morning and was excited to see a new breakfast restaurant open, my wife loves breakfast anytime of the day, however it was closer to lunch so I opted for the hamburger steak, creamed potatoes, pinto beans, and coleslaw, the menu read like a novel, and made everything sound fabulous, that wasn't the case, the menu said the hamburger was patted out by hand fresh, they served me a frozen meat patty about a quarter of an inch thick, the cream potatoes tasted like paste, you'll find better coleslaw in the Walmart deli section, and I don't know how you screw up a bowl of pintos as bad as they did, I tasted everything on the plate, then slid it over to my wife, just to make sure it wasn't me, it wasn't! I had them take the plate away and scratch it from our check, my wife had a waffle and eggs Benedict coffee and tea, and it was still $25, and I try to never say never, but I really don't see myself going back in there read more

The remodeling looks amazing. Service was excellent. Food took a while but they're still a new business. Will definitely be back!

I thought I'd try Rooster's and ordered breakfast. The biscuits and gravy were terrible, sausage links were cold and the eggs were runny.

Food really tasty and great selection to choose from on menu. Service is really attentive. Hard to tell this restaurant just opened.

food was great. service was horrible. been there several times and the service is consistently horrible. takes forever to get the drinks then forever to get food. doesn't matter if its crowded or very few people in there it still takes forever. read more

This was our second visit to the Rooster since opening. Our first visit was great! Coffee was good food was good and hot and service staff was great. On our second trip, today, welllllll... I'm not sure what happened, new cook? New management? Don't know, but anyone who is a coffee drinker knows what the bottom of a pot that's been standing for a hot minute tastes like, nope, sent it back, second cup was no better. Both my husband and I ordered the Avacado toast, I asked for poached eggs and the avocado on the side...and this came with home fries. First off the food was Luke warm at best. The avocados were not edible to say the least, brown as all get out, and to my thinking poached eggs are runny, at least a little bit, nope, fully cooked. Didn't eat those, the home fries? Ehh, nothing to write home about that's for sure. I did eat a few of them and a piece of toast That was only toasted on one side. Our server,(seemed like he might have been fairly new) was friendly and kept apologizing for the food, not his fault, he wasn't in the kitchen cooking. I did ask him if he had let the manager know, he said yes....ok, well it would have been nice for the manager to come out and check on us. Not sure if we would go back or not. Definitely not taking any out of town guests in.... Sorry Rooster, but your quality is going down, already. read more

We have been wanting to try the Rusty Rooster for some time, so we went in this morning. We were seated right away and waited for a server. After 13 minutes with nobody even saying we will be right with you. Then we noticed people being served that arrived after we did so we left and went elsewhere for breakfast. we may or may not try it again, but I cannot tolerate being ignored that long. read more
