Red Rooster Cafe — Restaurant in Durham

I was greeted from the friendly staff while walking through the door. It is a small cafe but refreshing none the less. The counter seating was a perfect spot to sit at traveling by myself from city to city so, if a place to eat and rest has one, I am more likely to use it. Thank you for the counter seat.

I had the Grilled Cheese and Fries meal which seemed to be the least expensive. While getting into town nearing Lunchtime, my worksite was nearby and made it in town earlier in order to have the mandatory Break according to California Labor Law. I walk from across the street, I see an Mexican Restaurant on the opposite corner and next door. But getting closer to it I see a sign that looked interesting and decided to take a closer look.

I then read the Red Rooster Cafe sign, "Early to Rise Ready to Serve" and that by itself, hooked me. Thank you. The price points for the majority of the meals and items are not all too different from other Cafe's, Diners Drive In's & Dives in California. Checking out the menu, I see Chili.... which by all means and at every opportunity measure how a place is based on their Chili. So it was love at first bite as I savored the flavor of the seasonings and spices of what I have seen are both Red and Green type of chili peppers. The Chili Beans was a well blended concoction of seasons and Chili heat which allowed for maximize taste buds reaction to that chili that will rival Chili Competitors at the Monterey Chili Cook Festival Cook Off!!!! The BOMB!!!!!

Another big factor that I rate the Red Rooster Cafe their 5 Stars is that their honor to Military and Veterans for serving the US Armed Forces. Thank you so much for greeting me in, serving up some good grub and leaving even happier than when I went to...

I can’t say enough good things about The Red Rooster in Durham! From the moment you walk in, it feels like home, especially if you’re lucky enough to get Mama Theresa as your server. Her service is absolutely impeccable; she treats you like family and makes sure your coffee and smile are always full.

The portions? Absolutely massive and downright delicious. I had the prime rib breakfast, and wow perfectly pink, melt-in-your-mouth prime rib, crispy hash browns, and eggs done just right. The pancakes are as big as the plate and come with that glorious scoop of butter that melts into every bite. And the prices? Let’s just say I almost felt guilty for paying so little for food this good.

If you’re anywhere near Durham, stop at The Red Rooster. Ask for Mama Theresa, you’ll walk out happy and full, already planning your next visit. Everything will be back on my table next time I’m here!

Wow! This place was amazing! The customer service was great, the country/small town atmosphere was really cool and the food was delicious! I've am so glad I tried the Red Rooster Cafe out. I will definitely be back soon. I had the double bacon cheeseburger and beer batter onion rings. The onion rings were so fresh and had the perfect crunch. The double bacon cheeseburger was massive, just the way I like it. The bacon and beef were high quality and...
