The Ugly Rooster Cafe

Nice place to bring your family or just yourself for a bite to eat. The menu has different items than normal places which makes it more fun and exciting. I ordered the fried green tomato BLT and it was excellent. Silver dollar pancakes were a good price and you get 5 as well. French toast was good but expensive for just some bread, egg, & sugar! Lol Our waitress was kind, friendly, and patient as well. We will certainly be back!

Was toward the middle of lunch hour (12;30) when I got there. Place was packed, so I sat at counter. Waitress was on the spot. Service was quick, and as always, food was phenomenal, especially the hash. You gotta try the hash!!! Highly recommend both locations. You WILL leave full n happy!!!

I had a good experience! The food was delicious— flavorful and generously portioned. The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff making sure everything was perfect. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot for a relaxing meal. I’ll definitely be coming back in the future! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great breakfast or lunch spot.

This place is your typical, neighborhood greasy spoon. Our waitress was nice and friendly. She was patient with us while we took some extra time to decide. I had the Foghorn Leghorn Burrito and he had the Breakfast Club Sandwich. On my burrito I ordered it with jalapenos and subbed in cheddar cheese. There were no issues. We received our food in about 10 minutes and it was even better than expected. The meat on my burrito was well seasoned and the steak was tender. I thought the smoked paprika was a nice touch on my homefries. The cheese was gooey, the eggs were soft and fluffy, and they gave me such a great amount of steak! I wish the salsa was made in house but I can never hate salsa so I was happy either way. The bread on his sandwich was buttery and crispy. It had just the right amount of mayo. The vegetables were fresh and perfect. The waitress was attentive and checked on us during the meal to make sure we had what we need and the food was prepared well. Overall the portions were generous for the final price of 40, including an 8 tip. We had left overs for a couple of days. It was worth the 40 and we enjoyed it. The restaurant has heart. The walls are decorated with the restaurant’s philanthropic efforts in the community and the news stories concerning the restaurant and brand. There is a sense of humor in the way the restaurant is decorated in general and the atmosphere is fun and laid back while honoring the culture of the small town it serves. There is a gift shop in the back selling jewelry and even some more mystical items. The person working the cash register was sweet and nice. The only real complaint I have, and it’s not much of one, is someday the dinning room could use a new coat of paint and the seating could be updated but honestly? As a neighborhood greasy spoon with great service, good food, and a positive vibe, even those criticisms fade into the background. It is absolutely worth a visit, just bring your appetite.

So good! I went in with a party of 5 at 9am on Sunday. Historically a super busy time and day for any diner. We were seated immediately, despite visibly being busy. Our waitress was very friendly and the food came out hot and quick. Everyone at the table said their food was excellent! We shared an eggs benedict appetizer which turned out to be my personal favorite. The kids loved their waffles and french toast, and we all left with full bellies! Can't wait to go back for seconds

The food was delicious, the service was speedy & friendly and everything on the menu is within a reasonable price. Our waitress, Chrissy, was very personable and sweet. I love that they kept the tables from the "Malta Diner". We plan to go back again. Highly recommended.

We randomly stopped here on day one of a road trip and LOVED it. Intentionally made it a stop on the way back home. Everything was so fresh and truly delicious. LOVED The Farmer’s Daughter sandwich. Anywhere that allows you to order a single pancake for the table is a win in my book. Will be back.

Well, it is clear I have found my new go-to place for breakfast. I live a half hour away and will happily make the drive. 3 friends and I met here for breakfast on a Sunday morning. When I saw the packed parking lot, I thought for sure we were in trouble. On my way home, I passed a coffee station on the outside porch. I had never seen anything like it before and thought it was a really nice and considerate touch for waiting customers. To my surprise, my 2 friends that arrived ahead of me had already secured a table. It was definitely busy, but somehow, not so loud that we had to yell to hear each other. Despite the number of people, it was easy to converse with the waitress and each other. Our waitress was also super sweet and very helpful. She answered our many questions patiently and added items as we were ordering and realized we wanted something extra. And the food! Oh. My. Goodness. The amount of food was unreal. Do you see that pile of pancakes? If you have a sweet tooth, these cannoli pancakes will not disappoint. The homefries were perfect, which is amazing as it is very hard to find ones that are seasoned well and actually have flavor. Finally, that (homemade) corned beef hash. I usually wait all year for a trip to our favorite spot in Maine to get this. I am so excited knowing I have this option close by now, too! I did ask for it crispy, so I don't know if it would have come this way normally, but it was perfectly delicious. I highly, highly recommend stopping here for breakfast when you have the chance.
