The Sleepy Rooster — Restaurant in South Russell

This place is definitely a diamond in the rough. Was a little taken aback by the 80-120 min wait time, and almost went somewhere else, but figured if the food was good it would be worth the wait. Boy am I glad we waited. Got lucky and only ended up waiting 10 min and we got our table. Staff was really friendly and upbeat, service was amazing despite how busy they were. Made us feel like the only customers in there. Menu was small but descriptive. I could taste the food just by reading the description. We picked our food and it came out in less than 10 min even though the place was packed. I was blown away by the food. It was the most delicious and fresh tasting food I've ever had at a restaurant. Everything looked and tasted like it was home made like it was a home cooked meal. Even the water was amazing. Coffee was very good and didn't need to be drowned in cream and sugar. I highly highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone. It was so good we were praising this place for an hour after we left. We made a point to tell the owner how great our experience was. We will be back every week from here on out. They deserve every bit of praise possible. Its obvious that the owner actually cares about the quality and the customers. Fantastic job. Thank you for being a cut...

This place was a gem. The food was fantastic. Our server, Maddie, and all the staff we interacted with were so sweet & friendly. They gave my daughter a little turtle toy, which was so nice & she will have it forever. The kids' menu was a little pricey. It was $9 for one pancake, sausage & some vanilla yogurt. The menu said milk was included in the kids' menu, but it was never brought. The eggs Benedict was so good, I had it with the sausage! You could get smoked salmon, for I believe, $4 more, which sounded good. My hubs had the country fried steak & said it was really good, he only wished he would have asked for fries instead of the potatoes which he wasn't a fan of but in fairness he doesn't like home fries any where & we saw another table get a basket of regular fries that looked delicious. Good hot coffee! I liked that they left a water pitcher on the table. It was very clean in there, bathrooms included. I only took one star off because there was no changing table in the restroom, which was a real bummer when traveling with a baby. Overall, I definitely recommend if you don't mind the...

I am not one to leave negative comments, but I have called twice now to speak to a manager to make them aware of this situation and was told both times no one was available. I left my name and number and still never heard back.

Yesterday morning my mom came for breakfast by herself and brought my 7 week old son with her. She sat and ate breakfast and when my son woke up she fed him a bottle and drank her coffee. Upon leaving, the 3 young girls working at the front made snarky comments about how long she was sitting at the table and how “it only took you 45 minutes” to feed the baby a bottle. This made her feel extremely uncomfortable and makes me feel like bringing my kids here will be an inconvenience and unwelcome.

I believe ownership should know about this situation but obviously the girls answering the phones are the same ones making inappropriate comments within earshot of...
