Reviews Summary
Rusty Rooster Southern Breakfast is praised for its generous portions of delicious breakfast and lunch items, including unique offerings like French vanilla cold brews. While many enjoy the all-day breakfast and friendly service, some reviews mention slow or inattentive service and occasional issues with food preparation, such as bland home fries or overcooked biscuits.
"The food and service were great. I would eat here again. My omelette was good and my wife enjoyed her pancakes. A great place to stop for a bite to eat when you’re on a motorcycle trip. They get a 3/4 Dang."
Lonnie Cross
"The service was good. The pancakes and eggs Benedict were outstanding. The home fries were not good—bland and somehow both mushy and not completely cooked at the same time. I would absolutely go back but might make different food choices."

"We often visit Mt Airy, but not had a chance to try Rusty Rooster Southern Breakfast yet. We really didn't know what we were missing! We arrived for our breakfast late, luckily they serve breakfast all day. We started with ordering French vanilla cold brews, served in Mason jars with handles and topped with whipped cream. They were so good. We told our server Savannah how much we enjoyed them, she explained that she has been told she makes them really well before. We definitely agree. He choose to pair fresh squeezed orange juice with his bacon, egg, and cheese on toast with home fries on side. I ordered the breakfast burrito, also with home fries on the side. Both meals were fantastic! I wish I had added an order of pico de gallo to dip my burrito in, but didn't even think about it until I was almost done. We are already looking forward to our next visit and planning what to try next."

We visited the Rusty Rooster for breakfast one morning during our visit to Mount Airy, and liked it so much, we ate there again the next morning. While the name says "Breakfast," they do serve lunch as well. They offer a large and family friendly dining area, and our experience deliver excellent service, large portions and a great breakfast.
