I highly recommend breakfast at Red Rooster. It has a very warm and cozy atmosphere. Our server, Megan, was absolutely superb! She had a lot of tables to take care and didn't miss a beat. Her recommendations were spot on! My daughter had the chicken and waffles and said they were the best she's ever had. I ordered the pancakes, eggs and red rooster hash brown casserole off the ala carte menu. The pancakes were huge but thoroughly cooked, the scrambled eggs were creamy - not overdone, and the hash brown casserole was absolutely delicious. Our entire experience from the host, the servers, the cooks and the food runners was perfect! We stopped here on our way from Orlando Florida to Charleston South Carolina and will definitely be back if we are ever in the area.

Excellent coffee and pastries. My coffee to go was light-roasted (overroasting is all too common, in my opinion). I got a small! Try finding a small in Starbucks where sizes range from Large, Huge, and Gigantic. 8-10 ounces is plenty! My mushroom-cheddar croissant was in a class by itself. The best savory croissant I've ever tried bar none. The mushrooms were cooked down to a dense flavorful filling, full of umami and seasoned with thyme and other spices. Light on the cheddar with nicely browned cheese coming out the ends. And not skimpy on the filling!. The dough itself may not quite live up to my croissant ideal (not quite flaky and crumbly enough) but came close. It was definitely not brioche-like, my chief complaint about bad croissants. The pecan bar was also excellent. Think pecan pie in square shape. Not overly sweet and sticky, a substantial shortbread crust, and lots of pecans with so much flavor they must have been pre-toasted. I had half which was plenty; the other half later today. Lots of breakfast sandwiches and bistro fare which I didn't get to try. The interior doesn't have that homey feel that is my coffee shop ideal - more like a retail store with seating - but it was comfortable enough. And the employees were welcoming, friendly, and patient as I surveyed the large selection deciding what to buy. Nothing like this exists near me, sadly. Maybe I'll have to move.

Amazing breakfast place! So many different dishes to choose from. I had the Mediterranean Breakfast sandwich on croissant and it was so good! The fruit as a side was so fresh. Crabcake Benedict, shrimp and grits, and the French toast breakfast were the others at our table and they raved about theirs. Service was top notch. Very family friendly.

The service was amazing! I can't remember my waitress name but she was AMAZING! She had Christmas socks and was super excited to greet all her guest. The food was wonderful and came out in good time. I also got the mimosa flight and throughly enjoyed that. Can't recommend enough

Wow! I took my mom here who was visiting from california. We went to the holiday boat parade on the water and drove out of downtown to find this gem of a place! The food was superb! The daily fish salmon special and oyster soup was A+! Mom loved it! For me I ordered the all sea boil platter and it was the best boil platter I have had from Hilton head to Charleston SC and back! Yum yum! The restaurant was clean - bathrooms were clean and the service was amazing. Sophia was fun and friendly. Frankly I don't know if we were in the Nautilus side or the Red Rooster side of the building but what I do know is I am coming back next time i am in Beaufort!

So delicious! We sat outdoors, and the amount of people going in for breakfast/brunch was crazy! This is definitely a hot spot for locals to grab food, and I see why. To start, we were given jalapeño cornbread. YUM. And I ordered a guava mimosa, so delish. Now to our main entrees- the cheese grits are probably the best cheese grits I've ever had. I kid you not ! The French toast breakfast, woah. I swapped out cheddar and added Gruyère cheese and onions in my scrambled eggs, highly recommend. Perfect French toast The fiesta breakfast bowl was delicious. This is THE brunch spot. We had our pup with us, and requested outdoor seating. They weren't prepared for outdoor seating since hurricane Helene just passed through, but they accommodated us which we greatly appreciated. Amazing service!

Every time we have tried to come here there is always a 30-60 minute wait on the weekends. Finally I got a chance to try it and I cannot sing the praises of this place enough. The ambiance is just ok. It's a little loud even when it's not full. But who doesn't enjoy a hearty conversation and laughter! It's the sound of good cheer. The service was average. I sat with an empty drink until the end of the meal because the waitress was so busy but I won't count it against them. The food though, wow. Easily one of the best places for brunch in all of Beaufort. This is a southern home cooking style place with a lot of soul food, and you can taste the soul in every bite. I couldn't stop eating and even when I was full I didn't want to stop! We started with the Rooster Nachos. Hand made chips covered in bacon, cheese, and ranch. Every bite was perfect. The chips really were hand made and not out of a bag. I got the Hey Y'all burger and fries. Shoestring fries and a burger with pepper jack and a fried green tomato and hand made house 1000 island sauce. It was great. Every bite was wonderful and the fried green tomato was the icing on the cake so to speak. Wife got the Grandmas Biscuits and Gravy. A recipe passed down through three generations, and it was the highlight of the meal. Smooth fluffy biscuits that were soft and warm and not too thick or dry. The gravy was a symphony of flavor, seasoned perfectly with lots of sausage and not too much pepper. We both agreed to come back and try more soon! Absolutely 5 stars. We will be back hungry for more.
