The food here is always good, and the portions are huge. I brought my dog with me this time, so we sat on the patio. The staff was so nice and brought him a water bowl, even asking if he wanted some ice. They also have a doggy menu with options like eggs, beef patties, and cheese. I ordered the BAM Burger this time and devoured it. The string fries were also really good and crispy. Overall great brunch spot! read more

Breakfast Date with My Bestie! Came back here for a breakfast date with my bestie, and this spot is conveniently located in a plaza, so there's plenty of parking--always a win! We arrived around 8:30 AM, so the line was practically nonexistent and we were seated right away. I've heard this place gets pretty packed starting around 10 AM, so coming early definitely worked in our favor! Spanish Frittata + Home Potatoes & Sourdough -- $19.69 Rating: 8/10 The cheese on top was melted to the perfect amount, and the combination of avocado, chorizo, and bell peppers gave the frittata a really nice balance of flavors. The home potatoes and sourdough were a great addition to make it a filling breakfast without feeling too heavy. Overall, a really solid breakfast spot with friendly and fast service. Definitely coming back when I'm in the mood for another breakfast date! Happy eats! read more

Came here for lunch w/my family on Saturday - it was very busy but the wait didn't feel too bad. We sat inside and upon walking in, I was blown away by how colorful and busy the place was. The decor itself is such a sight to see. Lots of options on the menu - we tried the shrimp omelette, the banana nut pancake, the chilaquiles & the chicken fried steak. That banana nut pancake was amazing, it was my favorite item and it reminded me of childhood because my mom would always make banana nut muffins! Service was great, everyone was very nice and attentive. Would definitely come back to try out some other items! There's also patio seating as well. read more

​ A Fabulous (and Filling!) Mother's Day Brunch! ​Came here on a Saturday with my daughter and grandchildren for an early Mother's Day brunch, and it did not disappoint! The Violet Rooster is a fantastic little brunch spot with unique, charming decor and seriously generous portions. ​ PRO TIP: Reservations are highly recommended through Yelp! It is not a very large restaurant, so if you don't book ahead, expect to wait about 30 to 40 minutes for a table (which is exactly what we waited). Because of the cozy size, it's also probably not the best spot for big parties of more than 8 people. They do have both indoor seating and an outdoor patio option. ​Once we were seated, our server was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the meal. We started with drinks--a Violet's Secret Mimosa and a Paloma--both were refreshing and well-made. ​For food, we ordered a bit of everything: ​Feta Me Betta: Egg whites scrambled with spinach, mushrooms, red bell pepper, turkey sausage, feta, and everything spice. It came with homestyle potatoes, fresh salsa, and a piece of sourdough. It was packed with flavor! ​Traditional Eggs Benedict: Canadian bacon with a perfect traditional hollandaise sauce that my daughter loved. ​Happy Hendrix Pancake: A super fluffy buttermilk pancake with a smiley face made out of fresh fruit and confetti sprinkles. It was an absolute hit with my granddaughter! ​All in all, a wonderful experience. The portions are huge--we definitely couldn't finish everything and happily took leftovers home. As a bonus, the bathrooms were clean and well-maintained. Just keep in mind that the parking lot is on the smaller side, so give yourself a few extra minutes to find a spot. ​We will definitely be back! read more

This place is awesome. Very energetic kind if vibe of a restaurant. Music while you're eating is a good vibe. The interior decors are unique. So many things on the ceiling that I can't keep looking up. Now the staff is kind and fast but not attentive. The food, well compliments to the chefs who prepared it. I love my order. Everyone in my party was having S good brunch. I'm most definitely coming back here. read more

Heard this place was busy so we joined the waitlist online as we made our way to the restaurant and that made our wait faster. Burrito was delicious, I chose chorizo as my protein. The biscuits and gravy was okay, it tasted like it was missing something but I couldn't figure out what. There wasn't enough gravy that I was just eating the biscuit by itself. The interior was pretty cool and very different with the decorations. Only complaint is our waiter never checked up on us after our food was served so we kept having to find someone (anyone who passed by) for things we needed. We asked for a box and our check but only got the box. Then even after our plates were taken off the table, we waited 10min just for us to ask AGAIN for the check because our waiter was too busy chit chatting with the women next to our table. read more

We have been trying to eat at this restaurant for quite some time, but it is always so packed. We finally got a chance to eat here. It was a nice morning so we sat outside with our dog. The servers were nice and they were friendly with our dog as well. There is a pup menu for the fur friends! I got the chilaquiles and the food was okay, but lacked some heat and salt. The beans overpowered the dish. read more

This place is a nice little breakfast eatery. The decoration is fun and the food is great. My daughter had the French Toast and said it tasted like churros, and she was right. It was great and the portion size is huge. I had the Avocado Toast and it was great. The seasoning, the bacon crumble, and the feta made the meal pop. We will most definitely be coming back here. Also, they do serve lunch. read more

Violet Rooster - Avocado Toast w/ egg and fried potato's - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chino Hills, California

Unable to seat any party properly for the entirety of my visit. Tables of 4 given to parties of 2, workers arguing openly and giving rude looks. Dismissive staff that wastes time talking amongst themselves instead of seating the families that have been here for over an hour. Rude host in the front giving dirty looks after being asked for sugar for a coffee. The first impression I got of the waiters was them forgetting the only thing I asked for... an arnold palmer that inevitably tasted rotten. Trevor was the only breath of fresh air for this visit, his hospitality and friendly personality really made the experience a lot better. The food was okay, the only 2 extras that were asked for were forgotten. However members of my party immediately started to feel sick and the trip had to be cut short. read more

Enjoyed breakfast with my beautiful friends! We met here at 9 on a Saturday and thank goodness there was no wait as I usually see it is always crowded. Ambiance inside was super cool and the outside patio is also nice! Service was great they were very patient with us when ordering and the plates had lots of food! Breakfast was great! The French toast seems like a lot and one you can share! Next time I will be bringing the fam! read more

We arrived early and waited outside with a bit of a line. Someone arrived and walked in and didn't say anything to the customers waiting outside. We all walked in and waited for someone to seat us. It was another few minutes before a second person arrived and sat everyone. He was the only server. One person in our group of 5 received the wrong order (pancakes instead of French toast). That individual also ordered the magic (I forget the name) but it was a mix of coffee and hot chocolate. There was no magic (sprinkles) so I asked the waiter for her to get them. As far as food... out of the five of us only two really loved their dishes. I ordered the tots and I swear it stated there was nacho cheese but they had queso. I do not like queso at all so I wouldn't have ordered them had it stated such on the menu. The tots were also soft, I would have preferred crispy. The country fried steak and the omelette with jalapeños got good reviews. The breakfast burrito was described as ok as well as the French toast. The salsa came for the burrito at the end of the meal as well. Maybe they had a server call out, maybe they always have just one. It was a far drive for me so I'm not sure I'd return. The server was very friendly at least, I just think he really could've used some help. read more

So much personality in this restaurant! We added ourselves to the waitlist around 11am on a weekend and got a call that our table was ready. I was amazed at how it looked inside. So vibrant and lively, and loved how the tables, chairs, and walls are decorated with such intention. The walls are personalized with travels, while all the chairs are handmade and painted as well. I loved hearing about heater behind everything! Food was delicious! Big portions and worth sharing. The breakfast burrito was tasty, and you can choose potatoes or tater tots on the side. The biscuits and gravy was huge and pretty good too! Service was great and even got a $10 voucher to use any time after that day. Note: You can ask to use it on merch! read more

Came here for breakfast with a friend and had such a good experience! The food was honestly delicious, we ordered the sandwich sammie with house potatoes, fluffy pancakes, and avocado toast with fruit, and everything was so yum. The vibes were cool, but I have to say the interior made me laugh a little, definitely not your typical aesthetic breakfast spot there were Christmas lights inside and it's pretty dim, which kind of adds to the charm in its own way. The servers were really sweet and attentive too. Overall, a solid spot! read more

Service and being attentive of customers, did not come to check up on us until we we're ready to go

Came on a Sunday. We put our name on the virtual waiting list so we didn't have to stand around until a table was ready. When we got to the restaurant we were seated right away. I ordered the Cali-shrimptastic omelette and got it spicy like the pro tip suggested. It was absolutely delicious. At one point, I was full, but couldn't stop eating it!! I definitely recommend getting it spicy. The hubby ordered the Chicos chorizo Benedict and said he really enjoyed it. There were so many options on the menu, it was so hard to choose. I will definitely come back and try some more things. Service could be a little better. We had to flag down the waiter for condiments and our check. It was busy though. It's a fun little place to go for brunch read more

Me and my family arrived around 0830 right before the crowd started to come in. We were seated immediately and drink orders were taken, however they took like 15mins to take our food order.

Definitely a great brunch location in the area. Mind you, it can get busy, so I would definitely try to join the waitlist early or be prepared to wait. The inside has such a fun vibe and the service js great! I've tried many of their breakfast items and the portions are huge! Whether or not you're vegetarian, plenty of options. Worth checking out the next time you're in the mood for brunch! read more

Join the wait list online...it gets crowded! Ambiance is fun and festive and very purple inside. The patio is nice and covered too. The avocado toast was a bit bland. We added the chilis and sour cream to the tots and they were awesome! The waiter earned us against the veggie patty not being a crowd favorite and he was right...wouldn't pay for it. The fried eggs also looked a little light. read more

When we came they were busy, waiter took a while to come get our drink order and by that time we were ready to order we ordered and food was good. I got chilaquiles, my son got a hot chocolate which was huge with whipped topping like he enjoys. My husband got the huevos Rancheros. As mentioned it was a busy Saturday so the waiter didn't check on us and we needed refills we flagged someone down and they still did not bring the drinks. So we ended up getting our check paid and left. Food was good but a little pricey for the whole experience. read more

This place is delicious! The menu is fantastic so many delicious courses you don't know what to chose but it's okay because you know what to get the next time you come! The mimosa are a GREAT size.

Yeah, OK I am completely done with this place. We've been on vacation and haven't frequented as often as we normally do. Maybe 6x from our last visit. Things have not I'm proved, we used to really love it here. We are 100% done with it. Went for breakfast this morning with another couple, who it was their first time here. They couldn't believe the lack of service and professionalism. Whoever is the owner should really be present more often or assign a manager who holds standards. We ordered 4 breakfasts and coffees. Again, no service. We all finished our 1st cup of coffee before any server approached us to take our order. I got up and again, the servers were around the corner joking around doing what appeared to be nothing. I asked if I can get more coffee for the whole table and we are also ready to order. One of the guys said he would get our server. time went by without coffee or service. I got. up a 2nd time and the same 2 guys were in the corner joking. I didn't ask, I told them to do their job and take our order. after that, every time one of them came to our table it was nothing but attitude and it was obvious we were a nuisance for them. we weren't difficult, no special requests, we just wanted our coffees refilled and our order taken. Our friends kept asking us why we liked this place. And honestly, I agree with them. The staff here need to be re-trained. We won't be back. And like always, even when we get bad service we tip very generously. Today, ZERO tip and very proud of it. This place has gone so far downhill. Won't be back... ever. read more

First time eating here with my mom. My mom was the one who found this restaurant on Google. I wasn't sure about the restaurant by the pictures of the food. We decided to try it out since the rating was pretty good. You never know until you try it. We were quickly seated, got to choose a table inside and saw one available table in the middle. A lot of decorations, which made me think of a boutique or an old small shop. Like the ones you see in Claremont or somewhere similar. The food was pretty good. They give way too much potatoes and French fries, but it's good for what the prices are. The French fries could have been cut a tiny bit larger and the potatoes could have had a little more seasoning. I guess that's what condiments on the table are for, but the potatoes were cooked pretty well, I could say better than the French fries in texture. The coffee is not the best, but sure better than Denny's. I would go try more of their food because after all the eggs were great! The option of Smuckers Jams are great, which they have orange marmalade, strawberry, grape and mixed berry (which I've never seen mixed berry at any restaurant). The one negative was although it seemed busy at first, the food came out quick, it was not that busy after we received our food. The workers kept walking back and forth in the backside to the kitchen, so was slow to get refill on our coffee. Update 6/19/26: I would recommend people to try this place out at least once, but thinking about it, maybe the meals are a little overpriced for being eggs and a lot of potatoes. read more

Great spot for comfort breakfast food! The portions here are generous and the prices are super reasonable--perfect for a satisfying brunch or casual morning bite. One thing you have to try is their banana nut pancake. Just one pancake is massive, and it's packed with flavor--soft, fluffy, and perfectly sweet with the right amount of crunch from the nuts. And yes, that's just one pancake, not the whole order! read more

Arrived on a Sunday morning around 8am. We were greeted right away and a table was cleared off for us. Once we were seated it took a while for anyone to check in to get a drink order in(coffee juice and a Bloody Mary). When the drinks arrived we ordered food. The food came out promptly, but the wait between interactions with staff steadily increased, despite there being more staff arriving. This was very frustrating. So much so we didn't order the other items we had intended to order. I ordered a fountain drink that never arrived. After watching 3 employees gather and chat while we attempted to get their attention for water we decided to get up and ask for boxes and the check. Food was good, decor was nice, service was lacking. read more

Here they come to snuff the Rooster, aw, yeah! This place is a hidden gem for breakfast/brunch. No, it really is hidden and not very visible from the street so be sure and use your smart maps! I love the vibes at this place and the decor is captivating. All created in the mind of the owner/operator, Kaylynne Ruiz. The spelling of her first name is as unique as the menu. Lots of delicious food choices. You won't be disappointed. The staff take after the owner. Warm, friendly and professional. Too distracted by all the amazing art? It's ok! Plenty of outdoor patio seating as well. Only downfall is the 2PM closing time but whatever, wake up earlier! read more

I had the Grown Up Grilled Cheese and added grilled onion w/a side of garlic fries & I was FLABBERGASTED! So simple, yet so delicious!I'm going to crave these fries often.

Will be back regularly!!! read more
