The Sleepy Rooster

This place was a gem. The food was fantastic. Our server, Maddie, and all the staff we interacted with were so sweet & friendly. They gave my daughter a little turtle toy, which was so nice & she will have it forever. The kids' menu was a little pricey. It was $9 for one pancake, sausage & some vanilla yogurt. The menu said milk was included in the kids' menu, but it was never brought. The eggs Benedict was so good, I had it with the sausage! You could get smoked salmon, for I believe, $4 more, which sounded good. My hubs had the country fried steak & said it was really good, he only wished he would have asked for fries instead of the potatoes which he wasn't a fan of but in fairness he doesn't like home fries any where & we saw another table get a basket of regular fries that looked delicious. Good hot coffee! I liked that they left a water pitcher on the table. It was very clean in there, bathrooms included. I only took one star off because there was no changing table in the restroom, which was a real bummer when traveling with a baby. Overall, I definitely recommend if you don't mind the price for brunch.

If you have not been here, you’re missing out!! This place is amazing!! The amount of love that goes into the food is incredible. From the moment you walk in you feel right at home. Everyone is happy to see you and help you. The food is outstanding! The shrimp and grits is one of my absolute favorites. I like to add two eggs and extra sauce My husband loves the Craig’s Benedict with salmon served on their house made biscuit. Also they have these pancakes called rooster cakes which are off the charts delicious!!

The most amazing food and service. Feel so lucky to have it so close. Very difficult to pick from the great menu. Today we picked the salmon toast with poached egg and veggie frittata. Delicious!!!

The best breakfast place around! We just moved locally a few months ago. Getting breakfast here (and then bringing our out of town friends) has been one of our favorite decisions! The fried chicken Craig’s Benedict will change your life. Trust me. Call ahead and get the estimated wait time, and if you choose the right time sometimes there is literally no wait. A major win. The vibe is right and everyone on staff is so helpful and friendly. Feels like a family, which we love!

The BEST country fried steak I ever had. Everyone’s order was great! You won’t go away hungry or not happy!

Literally a perfect breakfast / lunch spot. Friendliest staff you could ask for, and an absolutely outstanding menu. Also the best breakfast potatoes in the area by far! Highly recommend the mushroom gravy, tastes great and even a bit healthy(ish).

Went for the first time today for lunch. My boyfriend got the griddle burger and I got Craig's Benedict. I stole a couple of my boyfriend's fries - they were fantastic! Cooked perfectly and fresh cut. The Eggs Benedict was the best I've had in a long time! The poached eggs were cooked perfectly! I got mine without the avocado. The restaurant was filled when we got there but we only had to wait a couple minutes for a table. Great service, great environment and great food!!!!

Woah. So good! Probably the best breakfast I've had in North East Ohio. Everything tasted homemade and fresh. The Rooster Cakes (they're like cheesy apple pancakes? - don't knock it until you try it!) and Eggs Benedict were amazing. Great fair prices. Nice, kind service. Easy parking (it's in a strip mall). Clean, modern, local vibe. Note: make sure you join the waitlist online WELL in advance before you show up. (You'll see it on Google here linked to Toast). I joined before leaving for the place thinking it'd go faster, and it was actually very accurate to what it displayed online (was like an hour - hour and a half on a Sunday). It's great/easy if you plan in advance, but probably minimal chance of getting a table if you don't plan in advance. Do it though. Go. It's fantastic!
