Looked like a cute little place online so we decided to give it a try. Service was very slow and the food was definitely not worth the wait. Had a apple cinnamon muffin and it was very dry. I had the home fries, scrambled eggs and toast. Most of the potatoes weren't cooked long enough and the eggs weren't good. My husband had the spicy rooster and said it was ok. read more

Great breakfast. Large portions. Hash browns especially good. We went back a second time on our trip.

Amazing place great food , the drinks are awesome. I had the French toast and the Bloody Mary

The waitress recommended the caramel Apple French toast which was out of this world! My mom's pancakes were huge and my daughter had the egg white frittata (which was dripping with butter, otherwise I would have given them five stars. read more

Truly wonderful. Lucky we found it our first day on a 4 day Memorial weekend vacation so we came back everyday we could after. Awesome and fresh food choices with wonderful and friendly staff. We tried most of what was on the menu and everything was stellar. My daughter loves bananas and usually we have to give her one before breakfast to keep her happy - they have a breakfast banana split with Greek yogurt instead of ice cream, fruit, homemade quinoa granola, some whipped cream served in an old school style banana split glass dish. Going to steal that idea for when we're back home our toddler (and I) love it so much! read more

Mother Clucker is a must. Waffle sandwich with egg, bacon, fried chicken and cheese with maple syrup drizzled on top.

We came to town for a family event and ate at this restaurant on Saturday. It was so good we came back to eat again the next day before heading home. I can honestly say it was by far the best breakfast I have ever eaten! They have so many great things on the menu. Our experience was top notch from the greeter to servers, and how fast our food was served! Overall experience was excellent! The owners need to train other restaurants on efficiency and quality because they definitely know what they are doing! read more

Julie is our very friendly server. It's very clean and the food is good with reasonable prices. I highly recommend this place.

Great atmosphere, food, and service! The staff is super friendly and the food came out fast. I had the breakfast nachos and my friend had the shrimp and grits. Both were fantastic. First time here and will definitely visit again when back down here. read more

I have had it two years in a row while visiting the Ozarks and the food and service were phenomenal both times!

Went for brunch and it was delicious! My hubby had the meat lovers omelet and I had my favorite eggs benedict on crab cakes. We both had such a large portion we have leftovers for tomorrow. Of course we had to try the cranberry mimosas and were not disappointed. Amanda was lovely and service was excellent. We will be back again before we leave this week! read more

Where on vacation from Florida, and looking around for breakfast found The Ru Rooster

We really enjoyed our stop at the Rusty Rooster. The crab eggs Benedict was spot on! The hash browns were perfectly crispy and the home fries were amazing as well. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was the monte cristo sandwich was ok at best. Wasn't savory or sweet enough. Everything else, including the rest of the food, was phenomenal. read more

While we've been coming to the lake fir many years, this was our first time trying out the Rusty Rooster- and we wish we had much sooner! We had a party of 6 who all ordered completely different dishes for breakfast and all of them were amazing! I had a spicy Bloody Mary which was one of the best. And above all, our waitress was so much fun! She started our day out right. read more

Great menu choices Food was tasty and well prepared Nice presentation and friendly staff read more

Been meaning to stop in at this place for a year now, since I drive by it about three times a week. My wife and I went for a late breakfast this morning and it was worth the visit. It's a pretty little place, clean and well-lighted and with some fairly generic kitchen-kitsch stuff on the walls, but that's okay. Took us a few minutes to get seated. Apparently only the hostess gets to find you a table or booth (we got a booth, so that was good). My wife ordered the stuffed French Toast, which came with a flask of syrup and a berry compote that she really liked. She ended up taking about half of it home. I had the traditional breakfast of two eggs over easy, a biscuit and home fries along with a side of link sausages. I took none of it home. We liked the coffee, despite what others might have experienced. It was hot and chock full of caffeine, which is what we want in coffee. A couple of demerits: my potatoes were extremely oily and a little undercooked. The men's room was a mess, but I blame that on the guy who had been in there right before me and looked like someone who figured his sh-t didn't stink (he was sadly mistaken). One big plus: our server Elizabeth, who was charming and friendly and attentive, was able to answer our questions and kept the coffee mugs full. Let's call it 3 1/2 stars, shall we? Yes, yes we shall. read more

Went here for breakfast this morning... I'll save you reading further; it's exceptional, you should go. If you want to read more the staff was very friendly, the food came out very quickly, the country decor was nicely done. There's a nice blend of classic choices (Eggs Benedict) and fun, new ideas (Breakfast Nachos). I had the Eggs Benedict, it had thinly sliced ham which was ridiculously good and I thought the sauce was fantastic as well. I'm going to go again tomorrow before heading home!!! read more

Went here with my fiancé during the week. It was not super busy, so we were seated quickly and the staff was very nice! I had the country fried steak with eggs and hash browns, and she had the bananas foster waffles. The gravy on the steak was great and the hash browns were nice and crisp the way I like them! Our waitress even gave me a free coffee to take on the road when we were heading out! I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to treat themselves for a low price! read more

everything went rlly well here! there was lots of people and only a 5 minute wait for me and my cousin, we got our order taken very fast and our waiter was so kind and talkative. we loved our experience and i got the eggs and hasbrowns and i think it's a great resturaunt and i would love to go again! read more

The food and service is always good here. You might have to wait for a table but it's worth the wait.

We got the farmhouse plate and split a Belgium waffle with berries. We were both full when we left and loved our meals. Definitely coming back here! read more

Stopped by this fun little place today. Larger breakfast menu filled with classics and some fun combinations. My family ordered the farmhouse platter, eggs Benedict and hash. All of these were good, but the winner was the breakfast nachos! Delicious!!!!! Who would've thought? Glad we found this gem, we will be back. read more

Great breakfast and a very reasonable price! Had the chicken fried steak and eggs. Very good

Loved my first time at Rusty Rooster for breakfast! We stopped in on a Sunday morning and it wasn't crazy crowded (not busy season). I got the breakfast quesadilla and it was delicious. Would not recommend the "iced coffee" as I'm pretty sure they just put ice cubes in hot coffee. read more

Stopped in for breakfast with a groups of six. We greeted & seated by a super friendly hostess/waitress. Our food was awesome and the service was excellent. We are not from the area, but will make a point to eat there again when we return. read more

Found this on Yelp and it didn't disappoint. I was very happy with everything and impressed by the service with how busy it was. The mother clucker was excellent but with them having two per meal, I would recommend splitting it. Two of us at our table ordered this and I barely finished the second and the other person gave out his second one to everyone else. read more

Service and food were exceptional! Our food came out very quickly and the staff were very friendly. Overall a great experience. Would recommend for anyone looking for good service and food at a reasonable price. read more

Everytime we come to the lake we have to have Breakfast at The Rusty Rooster! Great Service and amazing food! My husband's favorite is a Bloody Mary and Corn Beef Hash. I try something new every time and always love it! read more

Breakfast is well worth the wait. Once you get a table the service, bar and kitchen are expeditious.

The wait is a little long, but so, so worth it! The staff is super friendly, attentive and efficient! Food was so tasty and appetizing! Way more food than what you pay for! The atmosphere is fun and friendly! Owners were there and working ad hard if not harder than anyone! I will go anytime I am even remotely close! Highly recomend! read more

Excellent!!! Great place to grab breakfast and great service. The Ozark Apple Pie Ala Mode was absolutely tasty!

Absolutely the best bloody Mary's at the lake! Make sure you try the steakhouse fries, they are fantastic. Only open 7-2 but 7 days a week.

Wait was worth it. The food was great! The staff super nice and friendly and the place is nicely done! Clean and fresh. Definitely a great find. read more

Been coming on vacations for a while. Prices seem the same but they pulled all the meat. I basically had a veggie omelette instead of a sausage one. Wife had a pancake burrito same situation. Probably last time here read more
