100% recommended 👌 We were 2 for breakfast and have enough left in our plates for LUNCH!!! Worth every cent = value, taste, cozy bench seats, friendly staff! (Our buttermilk pancake was devoured before we remembered to take a photo - equally delicious 😋 Our menu choices were Philly Cheese eggs Benedict & Italian omlette with goat cheese, rye toast, beans

First time eating at the Blue Rooster today - got French toast, the Wow omelette & the rooster Benedict! Good portion sizes & delicious food! Our server, Anna was super kind & attentive - coffee & water was filled constantly! Don’t hesitate - if you’re hungry & in the area - go there now :)

Having delivered here for years in the food service industry, I never had a chance to stop in and eat. But today I did! Geeze! The amount of food you get for the price is amazing. I had the eggs Benedict and it came with 3 eggs on 3 English muffins! Not to mention the deep fried home fries!! Wow!! My friend had the bacon and sausage skillet and it looked incredible. We were both unable to finish all the food there was so much. The wait staff is amazing and attentive. Never an empty coffee cup!

Delicious breakfast spot! We dove into the food so I forgot to get a proper photo. But we took the leftovers home because it was so yummy. We got the classic benny and the home fries were properly crispy and delicious!! The hollandaise was not the best I’ve ever had but was good. French toast was classic. Real maple syrup. Great service! Ana was our server.

Delicious breakfast! Visited yesterday (Friday around 11am) with some of my co-workers for a nice brunch. The food was amazing and very reasonably priced for the massive portions! Service was exceptional and I love that the atmosphere of the restaurant was very calm and peaceful, like a good family restaurant!

We arrived on a Saturday morning and recognized that it was a pretty popular location but were able to get a table within a 5 minute way. There was various parking spaces in the shared parking lot strip. There were washrooms available and about 12 seating tables or so. They accept cash, debit and credit (including AMEX). I ordered the "Roast Beef Dip Sandwich" for $14.95 before tax. I found the meat to have an odd flavour, which you use the saucing dip to mask but the sauce itself was not great either. It was a good size overall. The fries were pretty thick but dry with some sort of mild spicy powder. Ultimately, I don't believe I will return but if I ever do, I will try a breakfast dish instead.

The blue rooster was such an amicable location. The service was phenomenal and Dawn treated us with such kindness. The place felt comfortable to sit down and enjoy the meal. The food delivery was quick and the portions were above the standards. Truly loved this place and the food we tried. It’s the best breakfast I had!!

We went to The Blue Rooster today for the first time after hearing great things. We have found a new fave breakfast spot. We went in the afternoon so we were seated right away. Our server Ana was super friendly and gave us some suggestions and explained the menu and specials. We were served very quickly and coffee was continuously topped up and Ana made sure we had everything and were happy. I had an omelette with shredded hash browns ( they have choices for home fries which is great) and my husband had a skillet that was amazing. Portions were large, I brought half of my meal home and will enjoy later. Loved our meals. Great breakfast/lunch spot in south Ajax

Another great early bird ($7.99) breakfast experience at Blue Rooster. Eddie is amazing behind the grill. First time being served by Sashana and she was quick, attentive and very cheerful and friendly considering it was 7am. Great customer service and breakfast was perfect. Very generous portions. $12 taxes in for 3 eggs over easy, bacon (extra crispy), grilled home fries, rye toast and unlimited coffee. Only negative was my waitress forgot to bring the baked beans which was included in the early bird breakfast (it s ok, not a big deal). Have been here many times and will continue to come back.

Recently came here for brunch over the weekend. Maybe we got the servers on a bad day, but we definitely did not experience the stellar service that others have raved on about. Upon sitting down, it took more than 5min for someone to acknowledge us, where I merely had to flag someone down to grab our order. Not one of the servers introduced themselves. Had to ask for a coffee refill, meanwhile, the other lady was going around other tables offering refills but ours. Then our food took over 40min to arrive. Thankfully, I was able to keep my hungry toddler busy. Ive been to many breakfast restaurants and weve never had to wait that long. Then the server forgot to switch my bread for pancakes, even though we both nodded in agreement when she took my order. Not one follow-up after receiving our order. It was so off-putting that we didnt end up finishing our food there and took it home. I shouldve stuck to my first plan of going to Angeliques instead. Even if I did have a better experience, I dont see the whole rave about the Blue Rooster.

Feels like a small town diner. Busy little place with exceptional staff. There was a bit of a hiccup with the ordering system on the day of my visit that caused some delays with the food but our waitress Ana was so sweet and apologized for the wait. She was very hospitable and sincere and the food was amazing. Considerably large portions. Great coffee. Great service. Great food.

Eggs Benedict were sweet, tasted awful. Seems they added too much vinegar when poaching, it was inedible. Also the Benedict sauce is definitely the powdered type and not made in house, really gross tasting. Benny was not good, fries were good, service was very decent, portions are big.

One of the best places around. Dining room staff tend to be swamped and could use more help. Could wait up to an hour for a table. 2024 - under new management - old management working by the hour.. The cooks have no idea how to cook eggs. For a place that has 90% precooked, it still takes an incredible amount of time to get your eggs. The service has declined over the years as well. They lost another long-time customer.

Spontaneously went here for a late brunch. The food was good but the service by Sasha was horrible.

She wasnt very friendly or responsive.

On Mother s Day, we want to the blue rooster for breakfast as we do most Sundays. There was a short line to get in, but worth the wait. Sasha was our waitress and she was swamped, as was the rest of the staff. They all went out of their way to make sure we had what we needed coffees filled, a rose for my wife. The atmosphere there is usually amazing because we are treated just like family. We went again this Sunday and once again had exceptional service from Sasha and the rest of the staff.

Hidden gem in Ajax! Most omelets with avocado you have a few slices or maybe a few chunks. Here I had avocado in every bite. You could also see and taste the other veggies. Our coffee cups were refilled after each drink we couldnt keep up. Will definitely be back.

April 21, 2024

Gross, selling your customs stale food is bad practice. Its not a skill to know when food been sitting for awhile, especially meat. Musty and rancid, just awful. Whoever has sent me this message.I guess its the owner, trying to convince me that they have NO FROZON FOOD Yeah sure!! and everything is fresh!!! I should have had you taste the food that day before giving it to my children. Please dont try to convince me that NONE of your food is frozen... To be honest the way that meat tasted that day, I wouldnt be surprised if you guys did have it out in warn temperatures for long periods of time , Please read your reviews and you will see that someone else has complained about your meat and it tasting rancid. Just bloody awful! No thank you.

Located in a industrial feeling area but easy to find with plenty of parking. Restaurant is bright and clean. We were promptly greeted and everyone we spoke with was polite and pleasant and friendly. Orders around the table were Spanish, Philly and Classic Bennys, side pancakes and French toast and Blue Rooster combo. Ive been to many breakfast places and peameal bacon is always on the bottom of my fav list because its usually dry and chewy. Peameal bacon here is juicy and tender. Even the wife said the same thing. Pancakes were light and fluffy without that thick batter feel. French toast was one of the best Ive had. Fluffy, light and has that eggy taste I like. The Bennys were also well liked around. Hollandaise sause was very creamy and did not have that tangy taste that some places have. Cant wait to come back and try the rest of their menu. Really wish I had stomachs like a cow! Was too hungry and only remembered to snap a pic mid meal.

Decided to go out for breakfast with my family for the first time in a long time over the weekend. Immediately when we started searching for places, our minds went to the big franchise breakfast joints. We decided to do something different and try a place we ve never been before. We decided to come to The Blue Rooster and mannn we were not disappointed. The service was spectacular , the food was fresh and delicious (and they provided a ton of food) I m not saying this lightly; I have definitely found my new go-to breakfast spot.

December 21, 2023

Outstanding service from Dawn, she is the epitome of service with a smile.

December 21, 2023

When regulars aren t happy and note to the manager when she comes to the table, that it isn t the first time that there has been a problem, after it happens yet again and that enough is enough and time to take our business elsewhere, as we are frustrated that things haven t improved. Instead of providing excuses and asking how they can make it right, how about acting as a manager should, provide a sincere apology and note that they will do better. And do something to make the situation right without me having to tell you what that is. What would you want to have happened if the rolls were reversed. Something should have been done so that we feel you have taken our frustration seriously and value our business and time. In addition to loosing our regular business (2+ times a week and referrals) along with the the take out orders, including the one today that we were going to make but definitely didn t after our dine in experience. What can be done. A new manager to start, that understands customer service and managing the kitchen/floor. Kitchen staff that put orders up, in the order placed. And not claiming one came out ahead of other because it was a simpler order .hmmm two breakfast orders is easier then one? Again more excuses.

Great food best price for the amount of food ( paid 4 dollars more for less food of lower quality in my home town) beats any of the larger chain places definitely my new go to in the area for breakfast. Cheers

Classic breakfast items that hit the spot. The main downfall would have to be the slow service. From seating to check ins. Have to wave servers down for anything needed. Might consider adding another body or two during breakfast to make things more seamless.

The food was really delicious and a great price! The staff were super friendly and we were seated quickly. The table was clean and the sandwich my server recommended was great. And the extra hot hot sauce was very good! My very picky niece finished her French toast and asked for more. The portions were big so we all had leftovers for lunch later. It s quite busy though, there was a line out the door when we were leaving.

The Blue rooster excels in every aspect. The inviting ambiance, impeccable service, diverse menu, and mouthwatering food make it a must-visit spot for breakfast enthusiasts. Whether youre seeking a quick bite or a leisurely morning indulgence, the Blue Rooster is the perfect destination. I highly recommend this delightful breakfast place to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience to kickstart their day.

Food not good, presentation of food is good. Asked for over easy eggs; I got smelly, raw eggs (I didnt eat it; afraid of salmonella) Service and the feel of this place is mediocre. Table plastic covering was still dirty when we were seated. It was not busy. We were seated quickly. Lack of attention from the server ( I needed a 2nd cup of coffee with my meal but I got much later when I was done eating). The cooks in the kitchen were eyeballing the guests (creepy). We really wanted to get into our favorite place, Angeliques but the line up was long. We decided to try Blue Rooster for the 1st time. It was a disappointment.

Had a decent breakfast but service was not good. Plates came out at different times, missed orders, and the waiter had a visible argument with the chef. Our waiter tried really hard which is the only reason why this is a 1-2 star

We have been here quite a few times, and food and service is a hit or miss, depending on who you get. The very last time we went, it wasnt busy, but it seemed like a mess. We only got one refill on our drink. Food came late, and with a million mistakes, as our plates were taken away and brought back to us multiple times a point, we were confused as to what we even ordered. Our previous visit was on Fathers Day, and we were told it was the busiest day in the year, but we had an amazing waitress, and food was on point, everything went smoothly (pictures shared is from Fathers Day).

Overall great experience. Parking is easy. The restaurant is clean, and well laid out. The staff are all friendly, and personable. Better service than Ive had anywhere for a long time! The menu has a wide variety of options that should suit everyone. The service was quick, and the food was ready in a reasonable amount of time. It came out hot, fresh, and in a very decent portion. Prices are reasonable compared to other restaurants nearby. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone!

Its so unfortunate because weve been to Blue Rooster once before and had a great experience. Today was Awful, and to no blame for the staff at rhe restaurant. They were heavily understaffed today and it really showed. We were seated right away which was great, however it took 20 minutes to get someone to our table to ask for water. Keep in mind, there are 3 adults, with one pregnant, and a 3 year old kid our order was taken then it took roughly another 30 minutes to get our order, or should I say Partial order. Things were not ready by the kitchen so it took another 10 minutes to get the finished hashbrowns and bread. My 3 year old sons Kids Choclate Chip Pancake was the last thing to come.......... the staff mentioned the Managers and a bunch of other staff was on Vacation so the blame is on the Manager and Owner. Id advise you to be less greedy, and hire more staff or be more prepared ESPECIALLY on a Sunday! Dont think Ill come back for a long time, which is unfortunate to the poor staff that tried their hardest.

Absolutely loved this place! The Blue Rooster doesn t get enough credit especially being so close to Angelique s. I prefer the Blue Rooster because there are no frills, fair prices, and the service is exceptional. I don t remember the name of my server but she was a sweetheart The eggs Benedict and home fries were some of the best I ve had recently. The amount of food I got was the right amount. I actually took a little box to go.

The hashbrowns and pancakes were great, but the pulled pork eggs benedict made me sick before i could even leave the restaurant. It was so busy that i didnt get a chance to tell the waitress something was wrong with it, so i just didnt eat it.

Went there with my best friend and asked for a booth. We were told no because we are only two people. Not even 2 min after being sat they sat two people at the booth we requested. Our server didn t once check up on us, we had to wave her down and remind her that she forgot our toast, never came by to top up my water, and when I asked a question her tone in response was very rude. Food was mid, nothing to write home about. Won t be coming back.
