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

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

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

Violet Rooster - French toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chino Hills, California

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

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

Food was great. Many options to choose from. Great ambiance. Server was great too. Will definitely return.

Friendly and attentive service. Food was excellent; fresh and hot. Outside seating was a good option.

This place is overpriced for no reason. The service lacked. The food was greasy and tasteless. Not worth the time or the money.

Just went to VR for the first time with my hubby and 2 babies. It was about a 30 minute wait but once we were in we were so happy we waited. The service was SO nice. It didn't even feel like they were in a rush. Specifically shouting out Anna, I hope I got that right. She was so sweet with my 2 year old, I've never had a server make small talk with her. The food was delicious, came out hot and was reasonably priced. Love how cute the restaurant was inside and whoever had the aux was playing great music! 10/10 can't wait to go back. 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

We tried the Violet Rooster for the first time this Mother's Day. The restaurant was fun and the atmosphere was comfy casual. It's a perfect place for brunch the food is yummy and reasonably priced. The food came to our table quickly and we didn't wait more than ten minutes to be seated because we got on the waitlist from yelp which I highly recommend on a busy day like today. read more

I really wanted to like The Violet Rooster because the atmosphere is actually quite nice. However, the food quality left a lot to be desired. The French fries were clearly frozen and were served slightly cool, as if they hadn't been fully reheated. I also ordered the French toast, which unfortunately was undercooked--soft and raw in the center--and completely overwhelmed with cinnamon and sugar. It felt like they were trying to mask the poor preparation. On top of that, I was concerned about hygiene. The staff preparing food--including adding final touches like butter and syrup--weren't wearing gloves. In my opinion, anyone handling food, especially when going back and forth between the kitchen and the dining area, should be wearing gloves. It just didn't feel sanitary. Overall, while the ambiance was pleasant, the food and lack of food safety standards made it a disappointing experience. I hope they take steps to improve both the quality and cleanliness. read more

Love it!!! Service is great, I like the eclectic vibe! Fun place and Great for Mimosas

Came here for brunch with friends and left pretty disappointed. The coffee was served room temperature, food itself was ok although they brought me carnitas instead of chicken, which is a big issue when you don't eat pork. What really stood out, and not in a pleasant way, was the service. In the middle of a conversation, instead of checking in on how everything was, we were abruptly asked "cash or card?" without even being presented with the bill. It felt rushed and dismissive. I understand that everyone can have an off day, but customer service here definitely needs improvement. read more

I'll be honest, we came with no high expectations of this place other than it looked like a typical diner with fun and quirky decor. I was so wrong. First and foremost the wait time was not bad at all, they told us 45 and it felt less than that. Our server was great and thorough and prompt! Thank you Trevor! The coffee. Was so good. It looks like your normal diner coffee in a mug from a coffee pot but the taste was so strong and delicious I regret not taking some to go and the refills were free! All our orders came out perfectly and together. I love when they serve everyone at the same time. I ordered the Fetta Me Betta scramble, (the names of the food on the menu were hilarious and I loved the quirkiness of this place overall) I LOVED it and inhaled everything, they have this spicy ghost pepper ketchup at the table that went perfectly with the homestyle potatoes. The salsa that comes with the egg scramble was even better and the rye toast was perfectly buttered. That plate was so delicious!!! I can't believe I ate everything in general the portions are huge!! I'm sitting here writing this and literally can't believe how incredible this little spot is, it's everything you want out of a traditional diner but with flavor and character!! I can't wait to comeback. read more

Came on a Monday morning which wasn't too busy. Came with my coworkers. Was able to get seated right away. So you get to choose where you sit, they will come and give you the menu. The server was new, first day on the Job but was super friendly and attentive. The restaurant was very clean and well decorated. We got Mimosas. Which a pitcher serves about 8 drinks. The food was delicious. I loved the banana pancake. Not too sweet. Fluffy and delicious. Ordered the chilaquiles which was good but just a little kick. Very good portion size. Would definitely come back. read more

Really liked their selection as there were many "off basic" breakfast options. I got the Super Veggie Scramble and enjoyed the great variety of veggies in it all cooked to keep their flavor and texture while still being tender ( spinach, red and green bell peppers, mushrooms, zucchini and I think onions) seasoned with their "Everything Spice". Definitely worth a try read more

Stopped by here on a Saturday morning after a hike and it was packed! Definitely recommend adding yourself to the waitlist on the weekends. Food was worth the wait and the place is super cute inside!

We enjoyed the secret mimosa which was delicious :) Overall a good vibe! read more

This first experience wasn't good. The blonde host was so rude. We had waited for 1hr and 15mins to be bumped by a family with a dog. After we were called, she told us where our table was, didn't even walk us back there. I wont be back, but if I ever did it would be with a dog to get a table before someone else. This was our first time oh and our last. We went to have brunch for my sister's birthday. She said she loved the biscuits and gravy. Her biscuit was so hard. The pastrami sandwich was missing a lot of pastrami. It was a bad experience. Food was disappointing and so was the service. The only good thing was the decor in the restaurant. read more

First off I wanna note that Connor our server was an absolute delight! His attention to detail and consistent checks to make sure we were good and that our drinks were full. I got a breakfast burrito that was super tasty with a cup of fruit that Connor mentioned is chopped fresh daily! I usually don't like getting fruit because a lot of the times it's soggy at breakfast places, but I truly was impressed! I do have a friend that is vegan who did not have as many options as anticipated as it seems the menu is tailored more towards vegetarians than actual vegans. Nevertheless, they have an avocado toast option. They offer tofu and vegan patties with a southwest omelette being their only vegan options. Overall, I highly recommend this place and hope you guys get the pleasure of being served by Conner!! The unique painted seats and decorations were so fun! @neeks93 read more

I am a fan of savory breakfasts so I was looking for a new place to try. I had seen that they had biscuits and gravy on their menu and it was the main reason to try it. I decided to try their Big country ($17.49) which had the choice of eggs, hashbrowns, toast, and meat of your choice. I chose their ham steak and their loaded hasbrowns for an upgrade price. The sourdough toast arrived nicely buttered and not too crispy. Their biscuit was dry and dense, the gravy was ok not too salty but it had a nice consistency with bits of sausage. The loaded hashbrowns was covered in melted cheese and sauteed onions. The ham steak was ok but I wouldn't get it again. The restaurant has outdoor seating and tables were filled inside. The staff is nice and they have an app. read more

I do the food is amazing. My go to is the chorizo Benedict with a side of hashbrowns or the fabulous French toast. Another favorite is the Cali shrimptastic with a side of hashbrowns. Can't forget the mimosas orange crush is our absolute favorite ! There's even something for the pups. They have a menu just for them! Our dog loves the ground beef, egg, and potato bowl! We love sitting on the patio it's nicely shaded. No matter if we go on a weekend or a weekday, we always have the best service. All of the servers are absolutely great! read more
