The Sleepy Rooster

Amazing experience, can’t wait to go back! Pancakes and sausage I’ve had were probably the best breakfast I’ve tasted. Local maple syrup was a wonderful touch. Even butter was very tasty. Staff were amazing from waitresses to the cook who all wanted to make sure that my experience was exceptional. Service was extremely quick and despite busy dining room, my order came right up. I also loved the atmosphere - elevated breakfast diner experience. Thank you so much for wonderful morning. I’ll be back to try other items on the menu!

Great friendly staff! Very homey and welcoming and the atmosphere is clean but very branded with the roster vibe (not too busy). I ordered the burger and a salad, and my girlfriend ordered the chorizo hash. Both meals were intoxicatingly good. It's one of the best burgers I've ever had in my life. Definitely going to be a repeat visitor!

Stopped in for a late breakfast. Very busy. Our server Maddie, was very pleasant and seemed to always be around if we needed anything. She was great. I had the traditional breakfast and my wife a frittata. Both came out hot and at a reasonable time. Breakfast was wonderful. We also enjoyed the Guatemalan coffee. Very happy this place has succeeded. Don't visit as often as we should, but this place is very consistent with all of their dishes. Glad we were able to stop by.

Probably one of the best frittatas I have had!
The coffee ☕ was flowing, along with the outstanding, caring service!
My Compliments to the chef!!!🐓
A Job Well Done by All!

Hands down, without question, the absolute best breakfast place in Ohio. There's not even a close second. This restaurant has really friendly staff and the food is out of this world.

I'd highly suggest putting yourself on the waiting list online. It will help your party get seated much more quickly. As this restaurant gets very busy on the weekends.

I get the pancakes every time I go there and thry're phenomenal. Also this place has homemade buffalo sauce that's unlike anything you can get anywhere else. I like to get it with my fried steak. Adds a nice little kick to the dish.

What an amazing surprise. Food was plentiful, fresh and very good. Can't wait to go back. Had the avocado toast with a side of lox which was fabulous and my wife had the vegetable frittata with locally sourced goat cheese which was even better than the avocado toast.

Truly enjoyed our meal and was worth the wait. We will be back.

Brought one of my daughters for brunch this past Sunday. There was a wait, which was to be expected at about 11am. I Had a great conversation with one of the owners Sara and witnessed a wonderful sense of pride and appreciation for being able to serve their community. We were seated as promptly as possible, and our meal was delicious. My daughter got the pancake, yogurt and sausage from the reasonably priced children's menu, while I enjoyed the French Dip Grilled Cheese. Easily top 5 grilled cheese I've ever had.

Side note: definitely get the house made buffalo sauce, it's killer.

5 stars, Will eat here again. 👍

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!!!!

Who would have guessed you could find such a delicious brunch spot tucked into a strip mall in the Bainbridge/Chagrin Falls area.

My husband and I shared:
- Fried Chicken on a Biscuit (The Sweet)
- Pork Belly BLT
- The West End

Everything was quite delicious. The BLT was the best version of a BLT I've ever had. The tomato was fresh, the pork belly was tender, and the garlic herb mayo was the perfect addition.

The West End was the perfect combination of flavors—savory and sweet. It was a very large portion size. I'd recommend getting it on rye bread.

The portion sizes seem to vary greatly. The West End was huge. The BLT was normal size. Then the Fried Chicken on a Biscuit had about two bites of chicken on it.

I'd absolutely come back here again! There is a lot more I'd like to try on the menu.

i never get brunch or breakfast food because i find it super overrated and most of the time it’s underwhelming.

the sleepy rooster is honestly the best breakfast/brunch/diner ive had in years! everything is excellent, from the food, to the atmosphere, to the service. the homestyle potatoes w ranch and bacon are to die for. lox was amazing, i love the fried capers. coffee is great and servings are generous. i also love how family friendly it is! i can’t wait to come again!

My first visit to this cozy diner was a very pleasant one! The staff were attentive and friendly and the menu has lots of great options. I was adventurous and tried the "Cheddar Pancakes" which have spiced apples in the batter. Sounds weird (and the menu calls that out), but it was fantastic! Great flavor combination, excellent texture (crunchy cheddar on soft pancakes), and a pleasant balance of sweet, salty, and savory. I will definitely be back to try other items on the menu here!

This place is fantastic. My boss and friend told me about it and we frequent the location. The menu items are unique and consistently good. Fresh, hot, served with kindness from the staff. My only critique was the way I was approached during a visit by staff. One time I guess I was sitting and didn't have a belt. I thought one of the hostesses told me my butt was showing and that no one wanted to see that. Harsh but OK. I made the necessary adjustments and realized I was officially middle-aged. Still getting over that bruise to the ego. Otherwise great interaction with everyone and I do see my part in what transpired. Note to self: Don't dress lazy. I also appreciate that almost every time we eat there the manager/owner comes by and asks how we liked the food. Very nice touch. Would love to see more merch, love the logo and the branded sweatshirts and t-shirts! Big fan, highly recommend.

Had a brunch here with my friend. Love the vibe of the restaurant, neat, stylish and peaceful. Great place to bring your friends and have a bunch together!

The soup of the day is the most impressive one from the food we ordered. At the very beginning, we just ordered a bowl of soup to share, while right after we both took a sip of it, we decided to order a 2nd bowl. 😆(You could tell how tasty it was that we don’t wanna share! Haha) The ingredients they used are very fresh.

The waitress and the chef are very nice and friendly, check on how we are doing regularly. We went on a weekday for brunch, no need to wait, not crowded.

Thank you for feeding us well, sleepy rooster. I will def revisit shortly!

Great breakfast with new and different items to try.
They should have a larger place to include the waiting number of people.

The people working were super friendly, and the kids cup is ADORABLE, but you seriously need to work on your eggs! I ordered the traditional with eggs over easy, and they were practically hard-boiled. Our food was good, and my son loved the cinnamon sugar puffed dough. Obviously it's a new place and I'm sure they'll figure it out. We are looking forward to trying lunch!

The brunch here was amazing. Fresh ingredients and delicious. We got the pork belly BLT, traditional brunch, and pancakes with real maple syrup. Besides the good food, the service was also great. Everyone seemed like they enjoyed working here and it showed in the service.

Simply amazing! We got there early as we were told the lines get long. And now I can see why. Every single dish was phenomenal and the service was spot on. I have uploaded their menu so you can peruse before you go. Try the pork belly BLT and cherizo with eggs. Then, move in to their chicken fried steak made with ribeye. Wow...

Just WOW! What an awesome breakfast! Best I’ve had, hands down! Anna was the best server. We had a traditional breakfast and eggs Benny done the Rooster way! Sarah the owner came to our table it was so pleasant! Might even go tomorrow! So glad this is an option! Well worth a trip!

Our new favorite breakfast spot! Even my homebody husband doesn’t mind the 35minute drive from our house to get here. Delicious food and excellent service.

Been here twice now. SO. GOOD! It’s hard to choose what to eat. Iv settled with the eggs Benedict each time as it’s heavenly with the home made biscuit. Luckily I was with my partner too so I get bites of what he gets. -The German breakfast dish (Goetta) is incredible and special. Was visiting from out of town. Will DEF be back! The Rooster decor is super cute too, modern, a bright highlight to the sleepy area of location.
