The Rooster Food+Drink

Amazing food and service was excellent! Ordered chicken and waffles! Biscuits with jalapeño sausage gravy ! Yum! Peach brûlée peach French toast Everything is made from scratch! Best chicken and waffles I ever had! Tried the other dishes absolutely amazing ! They opened 2017 a hidden gem. Guy from Drivers Dine and drives was here in January 2025 see pic. Will be back for sure!

Decided to do a random Google search today and found this amazing place. Had no idea it was on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Drives, but quickly found out once they seated us. A cool surprise! They check you in on a notepad and once they clear tables - they call the next party. Our wait was about 20mins Our waitress asked if it was our first time there (it was) and she was very informative of what was popular. Definitely let them know it's your first time if you are unsure, they have amazing recommendations. The food was 10/10. To start - we had to get the biscuits with jam that they are known for. We also got one of the specials - short rib Benedict with hollandaise, cheese, serviced on sourdough. The second meal was the egg sandwich that had an amazing sausage patty and an aoil sauce.

We come to Naples as a family every year and when I saw the episode of Diners, Drive Ins, and drive, I couldn’t wait to come and try out The Rooster! Our expectations were surpassed! We had an amazing experience! It is a quaint little restaurant that is full of life and has a home like feel! There is seating inside and outside. All the staff is wonderful! They were kind and down to earth! The food was delicious! Large portions, made from scratch and full of flavor! We ordered: The crusted grouper: it was featured on DDD and was incredible! The curry sauce had a sweet flavor with a little bit of heat. The crust added great texture and loved the farro that came with it. Jalapeño gravy and biscuits: the biscuits were delicious and buttery Cheese grits: some of the best we have ever had! Avocado toast with scrambled egg whites: loved the addition of strawberries on top and the hot honey! I hope you come and support this local gem!

First time while visiting Naples. Seen on DDD with Guy Fierri. I ordered the Texas Reuben that was featured on the show. Didn’t disappoint. The jalapeño slaw was amazing- my fav part of the sandwich actually. The brisket was very good. The sandwich was served on top of the fries so the fries were pretty soggy which was a disappointment. My spouse had the chicken and waffles - he described it as “good, not great!” The waffle was a bit wimpy- he prefers them a bit crispier. The chicken was very good. Certainly worth a visit. Service was great and the quaint atmosphere was inviting.

We had a fantastic time at The Rooster! The best part was the biscuit they served us at the beginning—absolutely delicious! We enjoyed a great time with family in a unique atmosphere and loved the food. Highly recommend!
