    Wonderful! Fantastic food, service and ambience. I had the Rooster Benedict and hubby had the pimento cheese toast with eggs. Our server Abigail was top notch! If you do nothing else, or just take it home, the homemade hummingbird cake is to die for!

    I cannot say enough good things about The Rooster Food & Drink in Naples, Fl. When we first arrived around noon there was a line of people waiting to be seated because the restaurant is just that good!! In the scheme of things, we ended up not having to wait that long to be seated. They have an extensive menu of feel good food and many menu items can be made gluten free if they are not already and it is not a gluten free restaurant. They also have both gluten free biscuits and non gluten free biscuits and both incredible! I have to be gluten free and I was able to order The Rooster Benedict on a gluten free biscuit. Every morning they make their own lemon hollandaise sauce, in addition to, all of their other menu items. It also came with a hash brown muffin that was so delicious! I was in heaven that I could eat something like this and have it be so delicious at the same time!! My husband who is not gluten free ordered the biscuits and gravy breakfast and also ordered a side of brisket. He absolutely loved his meal too! I was also able to have some of the brisket which was so good as well! Our waiter was fabulous too! Not only was he so patient and kind but he was so knowledgeable about gluten, in addition to the chef, being very knowledgeable about what gluten was and what menu items I could have! It was so comforting to go to a restaurant and having this kindness and knowledge and deliciousness!! I loved the ambiance, decor and "warmness" of the place too!

    Fantastic place for lunch. I had their renowned brisket and better than I even expected. The meat was good but also great combination of sauce and cheese. Lots of great and interesting flavors. I also substituted the cole slaw for fries, made it much more manageable and it was good slaw. I also enjoyed the fried green tomatoes, nice remoulade and well prepared.

    A little hole in the wall located in a strip mall with parking being a little tough. There is a disabled parking space right in front however maybe a litle challenging given the slop of the space. This restaurant is very cozy with limited inside seating, there is additional outdoor seating available. I arrived mid morning and was able to secure a 2 top table indoors again - seating is very close together and you can literally reach over to the next table. Complimentary biscuits are served but we declined - we didnt want to waste food since we do not eat a large breakfast. Our breakfast tab was over $40 and felt it was a bit expensive since we only ordered - the Rooster Waffle, the Two Natural Egg breakfast and 2 beverages. The waffle and egg's are average at best but the noteworthy item was the Hashbrown Tater which is like a Hashbrown muffin and very good. Friendly staff even though our server was not that great ( even over heard another table tell her that her service needed work) Coke proucts are served but sadly no Coke Zero and the Root Beer is IBC

    This place is a the end of a strip mall and it's a cute little restaurant. The biscuits are delicious. The jalapeño sausage gravy is soooo good and the fried green tomatoes were amazing. I think they could do a couple things better like my son said the strawberry French toast was way too sweet. Maybe because they say it in a plate of caramel sauce. And the fruit was not fresh or it was soaked in something sweet as well which made the bread soggy. I think the savory dishes were better than the sweet. The shrimp and grits were good as well. I didn't care for the blueberry lemon pancakes either. Our server was nice. Overall pretty good experience.

    Of course I was brought here by Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives and it was amazing. We got seated very quickly, which I was concerned about because the place is on the small side, but no problems. Our server was super fun and friendly. The place is small but very well decorated and there's a lot to look at, which was cool. We ordered the Texas Reuben and a Curried Chicken Salad. The curried chicken was delicious but the Reuben was to die for. It was so delicious. The fries were also incredible. Then we made a very wise decision to try the Hummingbird cake. It was like carrot cake had a baby with a pumpkin roll and that baby weighed 100 pounds! I was so full it hurt but it was a great meal. We even picked up some homemade dog treats! If I could change one thing, I wish they had fountain diet drinks. They have a few fountain drinks but the diet ones are in cans. It's absolutely not a big deal and I would go back any time!

    I think I have eaten out at every brunch place in Naples as a dear friend lives there and we meet up for brunch often. So imagine my delight when she says, "let's try the Rooster" which has been on my list for awhile now. We went on a Friday morning. It was a chilly Florida day but given the size of the place we decided to sit outside. Our server was over in a flash suggesting things and then he tells me they don't have a liquor license . . .and just as I was groaning about my lack of a Bloody Mary, he says they can make one with wine as the alcohol and I won't know the difference? Really? Well you know what? he was right! We had a large sized group so we got to taste a wide variety of the menu. I had the chilaquiles with shrimp that had the fluffiest scrambled eggs on them that I have ever eaten! I would go back for that dish alone. And ask for a side of bacon as you definitely get your money's worth! I bet there were 5 pieces of bacon on that plate! We also decided to share a sweet dish so we all got a bite of the Banana Brulee french toast which was heaven on a plate! Be still my taste buds! Others at the table at the avocado toast, shrimp and grits, eggs Benedict, sausage and gravy and the chicken and waffles. Everyone said at the end of the meal that The Rooster was now our fav place in Naples. Know before you go that this place isn't fancy. If you want to use the restrooms you'll be hiking around the building to the one seat restroom in the back of the place, but that's just part of the charm! I will definitely be back! What a find!

    Solid. Great food. Great service. The chicken and waffles with a side of bacon, damn, it was good. Leave the pepper jelly sauce on the chicken. The place is packed. The speaks to the food and service. The place is small, very limited parking. Worth the wait. Make sure you don't need to go to the bathroom or you'll have to walk around the whole building to get to it.

    My husband and I returned to The Rooster this week to have one of our faves, Shrimp & Grits and to try the Hot & Crunchy Grouper. Both were perfect - the shrimp dish was even more delicious than I had remembered! We will be back soon. Thank you for your expertise in the kitchen!

    Carolina BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich on a GF biscuit

    Gluten free biscuits! Normally that would be enough but the service is outstanding and the food is world class. All in a strip mall in Naples. Go if you are in the area (and go out of your way if your not) and bring your dog.

    Reuben Sandwich
    Matthew O.

    Found this place because of Diner, Drive-Ins, and Dives and was glad that I did! Super friendly staff that were very helpful with navigating the menu. The portion sizes here are massive! I got the Reuben Sandwich and it was huge. Layers upon layers of corned beef all between two slices of rye bread. The inclusion of coleslaw helps to cut through the richness of the sandwich. The only slight issues I had was that the bread got soggy too quickly. So about halfway through, the sandwich was falling apart. But other than that, the flavors were excellent and the restaurant gives up such friendly and good vibes :)

    I went to The Rooster for lunch with my husband and daughter. I ordered their Curried Chicken Salad. My husband got their Fried Chicken Sandwich. My daughter got their Short Rib Benedict special. My husband and daughter liked their meals. I thought my meal was just ok, just too much mayo in my chicken salad. We sat on their patio outside to eat, which was nice. Our server was nice and personable. Overall, pretty decent experience.

    Stopped by Tsaocaa in the Coastland Center Mall food court on June 30 while visiting Naples. My…read morehusband ordered the Taiwanese sausage, Chicken Tonkatsu Ramen, and a Sakura Oolong Tea. The Taiwanese sausage was surprisingly good. If you're familiar with Chinese pork sausage, it's very similar in both size and flavor, but a bit leaner and not overly fatty. It made for a nice snack while waiting for the rest of the order. I didn't get a chance to try the Chicken Tonkatsu Ramen myself, but judging by the empty bowl, it definitely hit the spot. The portion looked generous, and my husband finished every last bite. The Sakura Oolong Tea is definitely an acquired taste. It has a distinct floral, earthy flavor that may not appeal to everyone on the first sip, but it became more enjoyable the longer we drank it. If you enjoy trying unique tea drinks, it's worth giving it a chance. Our order took a little longer to prepare than expected, but that's understandable since the ramen is made to order rather than sitting under heat lamps. The wait was worthwhile for freshly prepared food. Service was courteous, and the food court had plenty of seating. Overall, Tsaocaa was a solid stop for a quick meal and drink while shopping, and I'd return to explore more of the menu.

    Decent boba with an anxiety attack for a menu. The boba isn't bad, it's not the best boba I've ever…read morehad but that's more because I probably ordered wrong on the kiosk. Service was fast and it felt clean and the large boba cups are giving me life. Doesn't taste fake or soapy; kinda mid but again that's probably on me for what I put in to order. Okay so the tea- Love the kiosk option because I'm a bundle of anxiety; short lived because they've got enough on the menu to fill a novel. It would've been better if their kiosk menu was a bit more idk consistent? Basically there's five different versions of every boba option spread out in every drink category. They all look basically the same? Some have the same photos, so I'm not sure if it's the same thing or if they input the same drink because they wanted you to find it on other groups. I've dealt with intense menus before but this was a LOT. Until I can understand the menu enough to know I actually ordered what I think I ordered this place is gonna sit in boba limbo. Genuinely not sure if it sucks or I'm just confused. Order at your own risk
