    First time here and it was as FANTASTIC! Will definitely return. They were really busy when I walked in but I was greeted promptly and seated quickly. I got the jalapeño cheeseburger and a breakfast plate (I’m fat, don’t judge). I can honestly say this was some of the best food I’ve had. Burger was obviously fresh and breakfast was homemade as well and to die for. Wonderful atmosphere, very clean and inviting. So thankful to have found this spot! Also, they didn’t judge me for eating more than one man should legally be allowed lol.

    I can't wait to go back honestly. The food was very good and the service was so friendly. We went on a weekday, so there were tables open when we arrived, but they filled up pretty quickly. Our server was kind and answered all my questions about their menu since it was our first time there. It was good, it was tasty, it was comfort. I had gotten my wisdom teeth out a couple of days prior and was miserable, man this really hit the spot for me, for us. My husband got the fried steak with gravy, eggs, pancakes, and hashbrowns. I got their bacon, eggs, hashbrowns, apples, and tomato slices. It was really a great breakfast.

    Old school breakfast cafe in downtown Danville. It's wonderful to see lots of big tables, full of neighbors chatting and enjoying breakfast. The place is so much bigger than it looks from the outside. The menu is huge and everything isn't homemade here. Their biscuits are wonderful, fluffy and cooked perfectly. I had french toast and it was yummy. Out there breakfasts are healthy portions and great prices. Highly recommend stopping here for a bite.

    The food was fantastic and large portions (especially the country ham!—see meal in the Photo section). Price was good for a big breakfast (served throughout lunch also). Service was good as well as the atmosphere. If you’re passing through Danville, this is a must eat restaurant!!!

    I love the homey small town feeling of this restaurant! The staff are all pleasant, and the atmosphere is fun. The prices are fare for the serving sizes as well. I love the private rooms they have for larger parties. The food was tasty, and I appreciate places I can get breakfast the whole time. We didn't get to try the buffet yet, but they looked good.

    Probably the best taco salad I've had ever! Everything about it was amazing! The atmosphere is simply something needed everywhere! Will be recommending this cafe to everyone! I can't wait to try everything on the menu!! Yum! I cannot give enough stars to this place.! Went again!! Got the Philly cheese steak and peeps!! Rec-a-mended!! Their salad dressing is crazy good as well. They have "the good" ranch!!

    I was passing through Danville while out on a delivery run and decided to stop for a quick bite. Ended up at Red Rooster Cafe — and I’m glad I did. The food was delicious, the service was friendly, and the place had a cozy, welcoming vibe. It was the perfect spot to take a break and recharge before hitting the road again. If you’re ever in Danville, definitely check this place out!
