Iron Rooster- Annapolis

This is my second time eating here. We recently stopped by this place for dinner one night and it was delicious! Food came out fast, our server was very polite, and the place is really cozy. I got the pancakes and waffles with homefries.. absolutely delicious. The pancakes were fluffy and crunchy around the edges and the chicken was very flavorful (not dry at all). I was not the biggest fan of the bourbon butter and would order regular butter next time around, but that was not a deal breaker for this place. My boyfriend got the burger and fries and the fries were absolutely delicious as well. Super crunchy and soft on the inside and lots of flavor. I am sure I'll be eating here again next time we visit Downtown Annapolis.

Alright sports fans, my boy and I came to Annapolis to watch Navy win on a fine Saturday evening. Gotta love Navy blue and gold. We headed out the next day and the man-cub chose the brunch spot. Huge line at the Iron Rooster, but it moved faster than advertised. We got seated on the patio. Crisp fall day, but the heaters heat! Don’t overlook the outdoor seating. Lexi the server crushed it. Great recommendations and she is a welcoming/warm human. Thanks Lex! Great food, coffee, and a great cap-off to a victory weekend. I think they might even serve you if you are Army, but feel free to explore other venues.

Such a cute little restraunt! Ordered 1/2 waffle with home fries, and an omelet. The vanilla, cinnamon deliciousness that was the waffle, was to die for!!! Yum yum yum! Not one bad remark!

Food is amazing very clean service is fast and attentive the atmosphere is almost like farm like. The prices are reasonable not too expensive. The lemonade is great not too sweet I got the chicken and pancakes which was very good chicken was moist and tender not fried too hard the pancakes were good too a little thicker than usual but not dry homefries were season and very good. Cakes on cakes which was a corn meal pancake with crab cake fries green tomatoes it was excellent well season evenly proportion no filler in the crab cake great experience one of my favorite restaurants in the area

Delicious American-themed restaurant breakfast to start our day in Annapolis. Food was delicious and filling. Service was efficient. Atmosphere had 1980s classic rock tunes + cute animal pictures on the walls.

Went there yesterday for breakfast. Got the Cajun shrimp benny, eggs, and French toast that we split. Food was excellent! Service was superb! Coffee was pretty good too. Sat outside and found it to be really enjoyable.

Breakfast all day is always a plus in my book. Staff was friendly and efficient. Food was tasty, fresh and flavorful.

Awesome breakfast/brunch menu. Crab hash, homemade poptarts (pictured), chicken and waffles, as well as many others I'd recommend. Don't bring your keto buddies! Terrific, quaint pub atmosphere with historic tone authentic for the area.

Holy wow. What an amazing menu, great service. Had the chicken benedict and the crab omelette. Heavenly, enormous. Definitely choose something a bit more decadent than you might usually.

So we went during the labor day weekend and it was pretty crowded but since I was visiting from NYC I am not too sure how packed it usually is. The wait was about 30 min, and they give you options to dine inside or outside. Aside from that the food you get here is mainly breakfast focused. I didn't know it was going to be like that so I was pleasantly surprised. I forgot to take a picture of the full menu but here are some of the dishes we ate.

During a recent pit stop in Annapolis, Maryland, I discovered a true gem for brunch lovers: The Iron Rooster. This cozy establishment specializes in all-day breakfast and comfort food. The standout items on the menu left a lasting impression, making me eager to return and explore more of their delicious offerings.

To start my brunch adventure on a delightful note, I couldn't resist trying the Mixed Berry & Brown Sugar Homemade Poptarts. These heavenly treats surpassed any store-bought version I had ever tasted. Each bite was a symphony of flavors. The poptarts were served warm, straight from the oven, adding an extra layer of comfort and freshness to the experience. This delightful appetizer set the stage for an unforgettable meal.

For my main course, I had the pleasure of savoring the Crab Hash, and it was truly a revelation. Made with Maryland Blue crabmeat, the dish showcased the region's culinary excellence. The combination of succulent crabmeat, perfectly seasoned home fries, crispy bacon, and fried eggs created a harmonious blend of textures and flavors. The addition of asparagus and roasted red peppers added a refreshing touch, while the chipotle hollandaise provided a delightful hint of smokiness. Each forkful was a celebration of Maryland's culinary heritage.

The Iron Rooster in Annapolis is a brunch haven that offers a warm and inviting atmosphere coupled with exceptional comfort food. The combination of flavors and attention to detail showcased the chef's culinary prowess. With an array of tempting dishes still left to explore on the menu, I eagerly anticipate my next visit to The Iron Rooster, where I know I'll be treated to another brunch adventure to remember.

Adorable downtown spot on top of the most amazing food. I got my crab fix with cran dip and crab omelet. Soooo delicious. If you don't care for seafood there are plenty of other options and must try the poptart! It's out of this world. Will be back.

Always love dining at Iron Rooster when passing through Annapolis. Everything on the menu is very good. Amazing service and atmosphere and most importantly kids friendly service. Even if you didn't make a reservation, it's definitely worth the wait. :)

Cam our server was so great!! We ate outside and it was perfect. The shrimp and first 10/10 and the pop tart was WOOOOOOW

Came here for brunch and had a great time. Not the best coffee but by far. The best brunch and customer service is 5 stars. It was freezing outside and we got to sit next to these fire heaters that they warmed up for our comfort. This place really cares about you and goes all out. So make sure to order big, because the food just hits the spot.
Great place

Everything was delicious, service was great and overall fantastic!!! Pop tarts and the shrimp and grits were incredible.

I’ve been to Annapolis so many times & visited just as many restaurants, but somehow I missed this gem. It looks small but they can accommodate at least a party of 6 or 7 comfortably. Our server, Moses, was great, friendly and patient. The best was the food selections, the best avocado toast I’ve ever had and the crab omelette was full of lump crab meat inside and on top of it, so delicious. Can’t wait to do it all over again.

I absolutely love this place! Any time I am in Maryland, I make sure to visit for breakfast at least once and get their fantastic house-made pop-tarts. I have yet to find something here that I have not loved. Make sure you come near the opening time, and if you can avoid academy graduation weekends, you will have a packed house with quick service! Also, get a cool shirt on your way out.

Thank you all for keeping your food standards high and service impeccable!

Found this gem as we arrived in town early to depart for our cruise. So convenient to the port and we enjoyed a delicious breakfast! Treat yourself to the Flight of Waffles! Great idea and great portions, not overwhelming. Very nice staff and environment. Hope to get back here someday in the future!

Highly recommend the fried chicken benedict! Very good and large portion. The Bloody Mary was well seasoned. My husband got the daily special fried chicken sandwich with old bay and honey. We wouldn’t recommend that as it was small and the fries were not up to par. But great location and service!
