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

Host was nice. Food isn't the best. Proteins are flavorless. French toast was dry. I'm not sure how I feel about the sourdough French toast. Portion is small. They fill up the plate with potatoes. You're just going for the ambiance pretty much. read more

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

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

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

I love breakfast and brunch. This will be added to my rotation of places to go. I had the hogfather omelette. It was very tasty. Good amount of filling overall. Everyone else loved their food too. Food came out fairly quick and they were busy. Good job! Service was good and we were well attended to. We just needed to ask for utensils when we got our coffees. read more

住在 Chino hills 真的很不錯，這裡不只環境好，還有很多很棒的餐廳，這一家公雞餐廳，不只裝潢非常的特別，菜色也小有特色，這次跟朋友來，光旁邊的擺飾，就讓我大開眼界，好特別的收藏， 整個環境也漂亮，服務不錯，唯一要小小抱怨一下就是咖啡的部分只有一般的咖啡，沒有我喜歡的cappuccino！ read more

SUCH A HUDDEN GEM!! The service is amazing, the atmosphere & music is comforting & their food is on point! 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. Lol My husband ordered off their healthy menu; can't recall the name but it was a feta scramble with veggies, (feta obviously), turkey sausage & sourdough bread and he said it was so satisfying! Will be back regularly!!! 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. The staff is awesome and sweet! There is always a wait but just get yourself on the waitlist and you are good! Love having an awesome breakfast brunch spot in Chino Hills. read more

Had breakfast there and found they had an abundant menu and generous portions. Food was awesome and great service. Definitely will return

I came here for breakfast, and it was busy!, so I recommend making a reservation! The service was great and food came out quickly. I appreciated that the server took time to reassure me that they take gluten allergies seriously and he explained all the considerations they take to prepare gf food safely. They have great options for those with a gluten allergy. I would especially recommend their pancakes! (It's hard to find good gf pancakes), and these were fantastic! I can't wait to go back! read more

It's a very loud atmosphere. If you want a laid back breakfast this isn't it. Also, if you want a clean place to eat... also not it. No, I wouldn't like someone else's lipstick on my cup. Didn't stay to try the food. read more

Great food, not great service. Came around 8:30 on a Saturday and got seated quickly but the line grew FAST after us. Ordered French toast, hands down some of the best I've had! However several tables who were seated after us had their orders taken first and we asked for a refill on coffee twice and never got one meanwhile right on the other side of the partition from us, the crew was hanging out and chit chatting, having a great time socializing. It's not illegal to have fun at work but to have to ask twice for a refill of coffee and still never get it? Also I paid extra for strawberries on my French toast and it was measly what they gave read more

Cute ambience and large menu. We went on a weekday so there was no line. The service was just OK. I also ordered my sandwich originally without bell pepper, and they made it with bell pepper. By the time they brought out the second sandwich, we had almost finished the first entrée that came out. read more

Wonderful Place to have brunch at with super delicious food with hefty portions and friendly staff. Shout out to Cooper for being an amaging host and taking care of us! read more

Always a pleasant experience here. Staff were great and very attentive. Coffee is top notch. Been on a chilaquiles kick recently. Theirs did not disappoint. Nice amount of chips topped with eggs, cheese, black beans and green onions. Red sauce was mild and flavorful, which was perfect for me as I do not like things very spicy. Decor is very eclectic and entertaining. Lots of unique items decorate the walls and ceiling. Nice outdoor seating area for a cooler morning breakfast. Prices are very reasonable and portions are decent. Popular place, especially on weekend mornings. Wait can be long at times, but worth the wait. read more

I've been there 3 times now and I can say this is a decent American style comfort food diner spot, with kind expedient staff. Inside looks cool with a lot of nice random stuff going on all over the walls and ceiling. It's also fantastic that you can reserve your spot on yelp so you don't arrive waiting in line. My main issue is the food quality you're getting for the price. I'm not getting anywhere near diner price, especially for the "good, not great" quality of food. My half stack banana pancake, feta omelette, and French toast was $57 before tip and nothing about it (aside possibly the French toast) was great. Staff is always friendly, and Katie was my kind server this time. Girlfriend and I reserved our spot on a Sunday early afternoon while we were 25 min away and our seats were ready when we got there, which was awesome. We ordered the feta scramble, banana walnut pancakes and French toast. The food came surprisingly fast, like less than 10min, which is impressive since it was fairly busy on Sunday afternoon. After trying the food, however, I would've appreciated more time in making the food better. The pancakes were absolutely drenched in whatever sauce it came in, there was no need for the syrup since this thing was drowning in the other liquid. It was also exceedingly sweet, so I could only stomach 4 bites and take the rest home. That may be the norm for their pancakes, but it's a first for me. The potatoes were bland, no flavor whatsoever. Just a crispy texture, that's it. The feta scramble was bland too, with the cheese only thing giving it flavor. The red sauce didn't help either. I've always liked their French toast and it didn't disappoint my girlfriend's first experience trying it. So that was nice. Overall, it's a "decent, not terrible" spot that offers cool decor and kind staff, consistently expedient service, and "ok" food. This is after 3 visits, so I'd ultimately say some of their other food is worth a try at least. Again, their downside is quality of some of their food vs price. I understand the egg shortage is influencing the price but that doesn't excuse bland potatoes and scramble, with drenched up pancakes for the high price. read more

We have been going to breakfast for many, many years! Great food and wonderful service. This morning the food was as delicious as ever. However our server needed more training. He did not seat us, (so we seated ourselves) did not ask us if we wanted coffee for over 10 minutes. We asked for cream, and had to remind him. We asked for to go boxes, more coffee and more creamers. He did not follow through and we had to ask again. When another server came to give us the bill, i suggested that our server may need some additional training. She looked shocked and stated he was actually training her!!! He was the managers son! I told her to keep up her great personality and attitude! Hopefully he can learn a thing or two from her!! read more

Great food, service and ambiance is good. Prices are reasonable. Go early, may wait a bit. Love going there.

Food 3/5 Solid Ambience 4/5 Quirky /Eclectic Service -5/5 This is probably some of the worst service and witnessing of improper food handling. Why are the servers touching their phones and then touching the bread they just toasted and putting it on the food. Group of servers as a group standing around. We were done and waiting for the check. This was our first time dining and last. read more

1st time here. Located on an outside multi-business property with plenty of parking to include handicap. There is inside and outside seating in this quaint and wildly decorated restaurant. Has a really great vibe and very clean. We were greeted and seated by "Cooper" who is the epitome of customer service (don't let the tattoos fool you)! I say this in all seriousness because Cooper was genuinely kind, friendly and very helpful (what customer service should look like). If you like mimosas there is quite the tasty list of choices. Drinks and food were really good. We had "Nathaniel" as our server, and he too is the epitome of customer service. He was very attentive. Also genuinely kind, friendly and very helpful. Customers always appreciate experiences from genuinely kind human beings like Cooper and Nathaniel. So thank you both of you for setting such a great tone to the day. There are 2 single very clean a nicely decorated bathrooms, one for men and 1 for women. Will definitely come back to experience other drink and food items, especially knowing there is excellent customer service. read more

First time trying this place with friends. We put ourselves on waitlist on Saturday around 10am, got seated around 11am. Suggest you to go early or put yourself on waitlist ahead of time. Due to the shortage of eggs, they charge you extra for any dish that has eggs in it. (Literally almost everything has eggs in it. I believe it's $1 per egg) I ordered the following: - Loaded avocado toast: Its good for the first few bites, then bread gets saggy and not as great anymore. - Marie's magic mocha (more hot cocoa and didn't taste any coffee...) - Kids pancakes with scramble egg and bacon - Kids grilled cheese with french fries Overall good portion, and taste good. The place has all sorts of random decors. Servers are friendly. read more

The service was great, good coffee, I ordered the chilaquiles they were okay. Typical American food, I say it was mid, at least in my opinion. I would encourage people to try it, they might like it more than I did. read more

Take out breakfast was quite bad this morning! "Quite Bad" is putting it mildly, it was disgusting, and everyone had stomachaches after forcing down a few bites. The food was greasy, produce may have been spoiled, but it was definitely mushy and overcooked. The toast was more like soggy bread, and the potatoes looked like something that should have been thrown in the recycle bin. The online order of course prompted you for a gratuity and then when you pick up they add an additional fee.? $70 dollars later (2 entrees) and food that obviously should not have been consumed, I have to give this place a Negative Review. This was shockingly Bad! Be warned. read more

One of our favorite brunch spots. And just like a place that is good it's extremely popular. So get there early or expect to wait. We love the omelettes. They are huge. The bacon omelette is my favorite. The chicken fried steak is so good. My wife usually goes for the eggs Benedict or if she wants something sweet the pancakes or French toast. Never had a bad meal here and service is always spot on read more

Everything is good. Everyone is friendly. It's been getting more popular now so come early.

The food was really good. It was a bit pricey, but what isn't these days. Our server was very cool, but had to ask for water a few times. The decor was fun to look at. The mimosas were in a larger glass than expected so that was a plus and it was delicious. Would definitely return. read more

Service is horrible! Servers aren't attentive, or quick to stand, even the manager. Why did i pay 20% tip? They didn't ask me if I want a receipt . The manager keeps seeing me as I eyed him in the gesture for assistance, he just look at me and walk on around. I wanted my hand to ask for something. He mouthed he isn't the server, the other guy is. And it's all ignorance. Minding their own business. They should have been hospital and accommodating. It's getting worse than before. And I'm deaf. They aren't attentive. read more

Been here multiple times. I love the food. They have really great options. The service can be pretty good. I've had maybe one so so server but everyone has a bad day so I try not to judge too much but other than that it's a really great breakfast brunch spot and I definitely recommend it. Also, the interior is really fun to look at while you're sitting waiting for your food! read more

We visited this place after Eid and loved it, but the waiter that served us needs training on gluten free/celiac safe practices. Some of our order was incorrect and had to be replaced, and they were accommodating, but why even serve a burnt pancake in the first place? I am a pretty reactive celiac, and didn't have a reaction and the food was delicious. Another patron was told that they could have their toast replaced with one gf pancake and we wish we were told the same. I love that they have a celiac in the family, so they get it, but the staff just need a celiac re-train the place has such a cool vibe and can't wait to go back when visiting my family who live nearby read more

This place has a big head about their food and it shows in their horrible customer service. When we spend over $100 for a family of 4 to have a weekend breakfast, and you're going to be a jerk about me bringing in a Starbucks latte (when you don't have anything other than drip coffee on your menu) even though we buy your overpriced hot cocoa for our kids, get over yourselves. The waiter, after being sarcastic about "breaking their rules" tried to take it back when I said, I'm sorry but I didn't want drip coffee and that's all you serve, then said well if the owner was hear she would be mad, but he personally doesn't care. Be a man about it; either don't bring it up because you don't care and the owner isn't there or stand your ground on what you said the first time. Mind you, both of these are horrible when your job is supposed to be customer service oriented and one spending more than a do on a sushi dinner to eat your breakfast. To top off the horrible interaction, mid bite he brings the card reader and says I need to cash you out now because I'm getting off my shift Then he proceeds to stand there staring over my shoulder while I dig out my card and practically stares at the screen while I add the tip amount. Way to put more nails in the coffin! read more
