Happy Rooster Cafe

The Happy Rooster was Awesome Again and Again! Like always! Great Service from Summer (The Waitress)! She was very friendly and "Happy"! The Staff in general was very upbeat and friendly, I felt like I was a someones house for breakfast! Down home Feeling. My Omelette was delicious! There was No wait. 5 Stars across the Board!!!

Devin and company took care of me today. I am more than impressed with the friendly service I received. I do greatly appreciate it. The chicken potato soup was fantastic and the roast beef sandwhich was stacked and the potato salad reminded me of my wife's.

This is hard to do.

This is our second time here and by far one of my favorite family owned places In town.

We have been going here since my partner first introduced me to the place shortly after we got together. Great atmosphere, great food (try the tuna melt; it's the bomb!) The original owners started a great place in Tucson, and the current owner is doing great at keeping up the place. Would recommend.

Wonderful environment for the whole family. The menu had yummy options for breakfast and lunch. Prices were reasonable. Good was delicious. Our waitress was very attentive. Nice choice for something homemade versus the chain restaurants. I'll be back!

Our server was top notch. Thought the food was pretty good. My step father enjoyed the biscuits and gravy!

This place is awesome! First time here, gave it a shot and happy i did. Seated right away on a Sunday morning, coffee within a minute and back to take my order. Prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you receive. Service was very friendly and attentive. Definitely a must stop.

Been here many times and the food is always great. The chicken fried steak, burgers, omelets and waffles are some of my favorites. The servers are attentive and nice. Love the farmhouse paintings on the walls as well.

This restaurant feels and tastes like mama's kitchen. The service is absolutely great. Comfort food 100%. The prices are very affordable.

I genuinely like this restaurant. They also make the best biscuits and gravy in town here. You get a lot of food for your buck! Keep up the great work!

MY GOSH! WHERE DO I START? (Yes, I'm shouting! It's that good!)
I'll make this simple:
Manhattan Club $9.99
ham, turkey, lettuce, tomato & mayo on toast with fries!

I've always ask: "Why take PICTURES of your food?! Just eat it for Pete's sakes!"

I learned: Because the Sandwich is THAT GOOD, and THAT IMPRESSIVE!
ANY TIME I'm in Tucson, I stop at the Happy Rooster for a Manhattan Club!
WOW! It's GOOD!

It's like a little mom and pop diner. It's super good. The waitresses are amazing. The food is very flavorful, hot, and fresh.

Nice place for sure off the beaton track food is good services is good clean

I didn't take a picture of my food before because I was hungry and yeah it filled me up good. Burger and rings.
Wife ordered omelette with fries and we are both happily full and satisfied.

Been going here sporadically for the past 4 years and always leaving here happy. Waitresses are very charismatic and cool. I waited a little longer then I wanted but the restaurant was full on sunday at noon so 100% understandable and our waitress was attentive.

Great brunch, absolutely will come here again and again with my wife/family/friends. Also the iced teas were 👌

A trip to the Eastside sent us for the first time to Happy Rooster. This was originally a DMV office, so real vintage Tucsonans will be excused for trying to use the north door, which was the original entrance to pay for their car registration. Note: the only door is on the south end. A large sign to that fact would help.
Once inside, we were warmly greeted by the ladies. It's was cool and very clean, not a dirty table in sight.
After getting our ice teas in humongous repurposed quart jars, we selected from the vast menu of items. My bride had the hot lunch meat loaf with fries, toast and coleslaw, substituted for the day's undetermined veggie.
I ordered the French Dip with onion rings.
It was a bit of a wait but the ladies kept our jars full of tea and the atmosphere lent to conversation. At one point, they turned down the music without being asked.
Our food did come hot and right. Her meatloaf was more than generous, it was a Huge portion. She did comment it was a bit too full of veggies, but that's just a personal taste. The abundant fries were done crispy and pleasingly oil-dry.
My French Dip was on a crisped bread with white shredded cheese. Nice touch! The rings were crispy with a savory flavor. I hijacked her toast, which was delectable.
For a finish, I had what they call a Raspberry Mini-cake, she had the lemon version. They were just a monstrous cupcake with a scrumptious fruit frosting. YUMMM.
They were very attentive and asked more than once as to quality and our needs, but were not annoying. We were welcome to stay as long as we wanted, there was no rush to leave.
Happy Rooster is a small building north of 22nd, hiding behind the gas station. Parking is a bit rare but well worth searching for. Go on in,( south entrance, mind you) and take a seat. You will not be dissappointed.

Excellent omelet, however their could have been more hash brown potatoes 🥔 any rate the Italian sausage was very good very friendly staff the refills and attendance was 5 🌟 I will deffently return.

Without hesitation this is our favorite breakfast lunch and whenever place to go. Not only is the service superb the food is always awesome and the prices are quite affordable. Do yourself a favor get over there and have breakfast sometime soon and tell him we sent you!

Super nice staff. Food was hot and delicious, reasonable prices. Thanks for a great experience.

Loved the atmosphere. Very friendly place. Nice people and staff. Coloring books for the kids. Definitely will be back.

Love the food at Happy Rooster (I call it crazy chicken for whatever reason) I have been going here for more than a decade and get the chicken fried chicken every time 😋

Delicious hot breakfast diner classics cooked perfectly. Fast polite service. Large portions. Our current favorite diner in town!
