Lloyd M.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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 :)

We came to snuff the rooster and we succeeded! What a brunch experience! The Bloody Mary kicked things off and it both fulfilled our thirst and our appetite! It comes with a big piece of candied bacon, a piece of pickled okra and a jalapeño stuffed olive. The spice level was nice and mild. We wanted to try as much as we could so we played plate roulette. We had to go with the Texas Rueben, the blackened snapper benne and an order of biscuits and jalapeño gravy. The ingenuity and quality of these dishes was next level! Even the hash browns are cooked like a casserole in a cupcake tin! The quality of the meat on the Texas Rueben was just perfect. Smokey with just enough fat and topped with sautéed onions and coleslaw. The fries like the hash browns are next level! Thick cut beef tallow fries make everything all right! The biscuits and gravy were so indulgent and though it is jalapeño gravy it's not too spicy, in fact nothing was overly spicy. The snapper benne was made with fresh fish and went perfectly with the lemony hollandaise sauce. We also had to go full circle and get a huge piece of Mama's hummingbird cake. The server was friendly and attentive even though she was being run ragged. Not a lot of seating inside or out so there is a good chance you're waiting. Absolutely can't wait to come back and slip into another self induced food coma!

Brita R.

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.

Our 3 rating is being generous. Not even average compared to numerous other breakfast establishments we frequent. Service was okay, but the food was not. Hasbrown cakes were dry and cold. Eggs were small, toast was cold. Bacon was below average. 40 minute drive plus 30 minute wait....not again. read more

Man do I love this place and boy does it suck that I cannot sit down to eat here. I heard so much about this place and the owner that I needed to go. Now its become my girlfriend and I's favorite restaurant in Naples. What I love here is that it's a no frills style foo foo restaurant catering towards the democratic of old peoples boring taste of "what's good" in Naples. This isn't your gluten free organic wannabe food. It's got it's own attitude made with pride and it's full of creativity that let's your tongue tell your brain "this is damn good!!!". The head Chef and his son work together making Southern influenced dishes. Let's all support this man and the fact he is keeping his doors open to help his employees still have a living. The staff provides directions when picking up food for prepping it at home of there needs to be any. Please call ahead to make sure the hours. read more

There is plenty of room between tables outside to feel comfortable in COVID times. They have touch free menus by scanning the QR code on the table. We had to try the fried green tomatoe benny- which was one of the best decisions of our day! The Geico's rancheros was flavourful and the hash brown biscuit was perfect!

A cute breakfast/ lunch location with great food. We were interested in trying chef Brian Sutton's new restaurant, as Veranda E was one of our favorites in this area. The Rooster has a mom and pop shop atmosphere, and the food is top notch restaurant quality. It was our first time there, and it was semi busy. Our waitress was very personable and attentive. She gave us suggestions on food and listed off menu items. There was their standard menu, and a chalkboard listing an array of dishes they're trying out. We got two items off their standard menu: the grouper with faro and crab enchiladas, and added a side of roasted Brussels sprouts (has bacon, so vegetarians beware!). The grouper was the better of the two dishes with plenty of toasted almonds, but was slightly spicy. Both dishes were delicious and filling, and service was fast. The Brussels sprouts were amazing! They have homemade desserts, which we passed on this visit. Small aside: their bathroom is tucked in the back of the kitchen. You are led to the bathroom by the waitress. It was fun to see the chefs at work, and the kitchen looked spotless. Hoping they have continued success and looking forward to trying other dishes on their menu! read more

Hospitality + Intentionality + Love. These are (in my opinion) the essentials of a great restaurant/cafe. This place nails all three. Staff is great. Casual and genuinely attentive. There's an obvious amount of intentionality that goes into their menu. Everything was seasoned so well and incredibly flavorful (didn't touch salt/pepper or hot sauces). So enjoyed this place that I came back two days in a row. Shrimp & Grits were outstanding. Probably the best I've ever had. Cheese biscuit with jalapeño gravy was excellent (so hard to find good B&G's!!). Ordered the hashbrown biscuit and sausage as sides and they were both great as well. Definitely lots of love and care going into this place. Well done Rooster team! read more

All I can say is wow. Bravo to The Rooster! When I had first arrived by myself to reserve a table of 4 during peak brunch hour (11:30 AM), the wait staff was so accommodating and let me sit at a larger table outside prior to choosing indoor or outdoor seating. (I didn't know if my friends wanted to sit inside or outside). Once my guests arrived, we had the most troublesome time choosing what to order. Because the choices are incredible!!!

Roosters should be your FIRST STOP when in Naples, FL! Quaint place with a clean cottage home feel and EXTREMELY kind staff. The food EXCEEDED our expectations and McKenzie was the sweetest waitress! I wasn't all that hungry and ate my entire meal (Shrimps & Gravy). I tried the other two meals, and FLAVORFUL is an understatement. This restaurant understands what it means to serve delicious meals and they deliver. The price range is $$ but, if you're like me and willing to pay for FLAVORFUL and DELICIOUS meals, you won't regret this one! This was our first stop and no one regretted the decision.

Another great visit to Backyard Fire Grill--this place just doesn't miss…read more Stopped in with my wife for a low-key evening, grabbed some wings and a couple of cold beers. Simple? Sure. But sometimes simple done right is all you need. The wings were on point, the beers were cold, and the vibes were immaculate. Great music, laid-back atmosphere, the kind of spot where you walk in stressed and walk out smiling. And then there's Tina. She waited on us again, and honestly, she's a big part of why we keep coming back. Always awesome, always on top of it, makes you feel like a regular even if you're not. Good service elevates a good meal into a great experience, and Tina delivers every time. Here's my only complaint: I wish there was one closer to Fort Myers. We'd be here all the time if it wasn't a trek. And honestly? This concept would crush it as a larger restaurant with a full bar. Palm Beach Boulevard is seriously lacking in quality restaurant options, Backyard Fire Grill would absolutely dominate that area. Just putting that out into the universe. Someone make it happen. The Verdict: Wings, beers, great vibes, and Tina taking care of us, another five-star visit to Backyard Fire Grill. This place has the formula dialed in. Now expand it so we don't have to drive so far. Please and thank you.

Our server Mike, did an excellent job taking care of us. We started off with a couple cocktails. I had an Old Fashioned and my wife had the Not Bogged Down. For dinner I had the Chorizo Encrusted Red Snapper and my wife had one of the specials which was the Tripletail. She said it was the best seafood dish she has ever had. For dessert, we split the special Crème Brûlée topped with diced fruit. We enjoyed the dessert so much, we purchased one for a sweet family of four sitting next to us. Our server Mike and the owner, Barry, helped make that happen and we appreciate it.

Service was excellent. Ambiance was perfect…read more And the cocktails were expert level. I wish I lived in Naples so I could visit here once a week until I have tried all their cocktails. Craft cocktails with homemade syrups, tinctures, house infused spirits, house blend vermouth, house blend bitters. Whoever runs their drinks program is paying attention & serving up delicious & unique drinks. It's becoming more rare to visit a restaurant that feels like someone's singular vision for a neighborhood or community (instead of a corporate venture). This place is unique & elegant but approachable & welcoming. Highly recommend.

Simple decor but the food and service is very good. We had Vegetarian Samosas, Garlic Naan, Tofu Tiki Masala, Bombay Aloo, and Vegetable Biryani. Everything was fresh and authentic tasting. We will be back!

I didn't really get very many vegetables. It was really good... just wished there was more of it…read more If I didn't get the Naan I think I would be hungry still. The rice is the main filler but the vegetables with the sauce is so much healthier than all that filler and frankly I am not into a stingy amount of veggies since it's hard to fill up on the healthy stuff. It's good but I feel like the price for Naan was just a huge jab. It's good but I mean most Naan is good but not $8 good.

The location is unassuming and kind of hidden but I felt like it was a good sign to see that it was busy when we arrived. We were seated outside under a fan and it was actually quite nice. There's a pool and an outdoor water feature which has a very retro vibe. I ordered the New England Clam Chowder which was really good. No joke, I'm thinking it's one of the best I've tried and I've tried a lot. I had the lobster roll, which was a cold roll, stuffed full of lobster. My husband had the shrimp and lobster Mac and cheese, and my son got the hogfish. All of our dinners were great. The hog fish was light and buttery, the green beans were amazing and didn't taste like an oversight, and the Mac and cheese was full of shrimp and lobster and not heavy. I wish we had saved room for dessert but we were full. Our waiter really seemed to enjoy his job and was so personable and professional. Highly recommend!

Tragic. Food and drinks? Excellent across the board. French dip was on point, burger either an over easy egg snd multiple apps disappeared quickly, baked potato done right, and the espresso martinis were dangerously good. Major shout-out to Ashley behind the bar -- absolute pro -- though honestly the entire bar staff deserves applause. Watching the bartenders run the room is like watching a choreographed ballet. They somehow keep a mental spreadsheet of the waitlist, open seats, timing, and guest flow, seamlessly slotting people in without chaos or drama. It's impressive, calm, and clearly run by people who know exactly what they're doing. Now, to the inevitable dog commentary: yes, restaurants have rules. Yes, health codes exist. And no, a dog in a baby stroller is not a service animal. That stroller should be reserved for, stay with me here, babies. Leave your dog at home for two hours. It will survive. So will you. I will happily return to any restaurant that enforces Collier County health code, serves great food and drinks, and employs a staff that runs the room with confidence and competence. BrickTop's checks every box.

There is a lot to love about this place! I love the simple clean interior, the plates, tables and decor. I love the large bottle of ice water on my table. What I love love love are the tiny hitchers of 1/2 & 1/2 for their delicious strong brew. I hate hate hate those tiny small packs of cream! The four waitresses are very warm and accommodating and the chefs and kitchen staff do a nice warm smile and wave which I appreciate! But most importantly is the food. I had the Rooster Benne with Lemon Hollandaise guaranteed to send you straight to Heaven. The shrimp and grits were as good or better than anything have had in New Orleans. The fresh biscuit with homemade Jam is a religious experience. I noticed a review or two mentioned the prices are high, well folks you get what you pay for and quality products cost at little more. I also notice one rude mention of a gay bar and to those of you that don't know it is a decent restaurant with great karaoke. This place is a little piece of Heaven and could I just mention that Lemon Hollandaise again! They also serve espresso, latte and such but the coffee is sooooooooooooo good I haven't had it. Thanks for the good old fashion Southern Charm! read more

The Rooster Food & Drink is a must-visit breakfast spot in Naples. If you care about quality, flavor, and food made with real soul, this is your place--we will absolutely be back. They delivered the best breakfast we've had in Naples, and honestly, one of the best anywhere. The scrambled eggs alone deserve their own standing ovation--soft, buttery, and rich in a way that makes you realize most eggs you've had before were just pretending. Whatever blend of butter and magic they're using is next-level. The smoked salmon Eggs Benedict was flawless--perfectly balanced, indulgent without being heavy, and clearly made with intention. And the hash browns? Unreal. Crispy, deeply flavorful, shaped almost like a muffin, and impossible to stop eating. And you have to start with the biscuits--perfectly warm, soft, and paired with a homemade jam that's absolutely outstanding. It sets the tone right from the first bite. The space itself is small and cozy, which adds to the charm. Every bite felt thoughtful and dialed-in. This is the kind of place that reminds you how good breakfast can actually be when it's done right. read more

Birthday Breakfast the Rooster in Naples my absolute favorite place to have breakfast when we are here! They remembered us from the last time we visited and when we mentioned it was my birthday the chef had them bring out his grandmother's famous carrot/hummingbird cake with cream cheese and pecan icing and it even has a candle in it! Such a great little gem that truly goes over and beyond to make you feel welcome! Thank you again and I can't wait to go back! 42 ant to shabby! read more

I recently visited The Rooster for brunch. The food was okay--nothing extraordinary but certainly not bad. However, the service was painfully slow. It took a long time for our order to be taken and even longer for the food to arrive. If you're in a rush or looking for quick service, this might not be the best spot. Overall, it's an average experience with decent food, but the wait times were frustrating. A little more attention to service speed would make a big difference. read more

I love this place. The entire menu looked delicious so we tried not to order everything. All of the specials were so enticing we ordered two: Steak benne and Artichoke and poached egg. Then we regretted not ordering off the menu so we ordered biscuits and gravy. Excellent. Portion sizes are super generous, there is a ton of variety on the menu for everyone, decor is sweet and simple, and it's easy to find and park. read more
