So far, I've found the service very lacking, the portions small, and the prices high. I can't see what everyone's so excited about. |

Do you eat out often? I found their prices in line with the Diners and their food much much better. I like the decor and the staff is friendly.
We need more businesses not bashing. |

Constructive feedback builds a better business...
I personally enjoy going in for a cup of coffee and a snack. I have not had lunch there. |

Do you think comments like the first one constructive? To me I found it to be rather rough.
I too think the portions could be larger, but I like that they are all natural. The cost is okay considering the ingredients are more expensive. They use real maple syrup which I like.
I wish they'd change their menu a bit and offer bagles on the weekend. But, that's not their thing...wish it was. |

This just shows different people have different opinions. A business no mater how good it is cannot please all customers. But if the majority of the visitors there like the food and services, then it will be a successful business. The true test is time. |

Their prices have increased since they opened. It cost me $26 for breakfast last week. The food is good but not worth the cost. |

How much do you want to spend? 2 people, OJ or coffee and a meal 13.00? I pay 8.50 at McDonalds for one meal. A few dollars more and healthy to me sounds like a prettty good deal. |

I love the Blue Rooster! Many people eat too much anyway, so I think their portions are an appropriate size and in line with a healthy diet. I always leave full after having a half sandwich and cup of soup. The pork sandwich with cheese was amazing. (ok - maybe not the healthiest thing on the menu )
Breakfast is a little pricey, especially if you order fresh fruit. But their breads, danish etc prices are in line. The quality of the ingredients does matter, and you get what you pay for. I'll pay a little extra for quality. The cheesecake is scrumptious.
They could use a little extra help at the take-out counter during the after-school rush.
I love the "feel" of the place and wish the Finigans success. |

My mother loves the BR. She just hates going. The stairs are tough on an eighty year old. Hopefully they will get a second entrance. |

The Blue Rooster is a keeper in fact I bet if they stayed open later on Friday and Saturday nights they could pick up some nice dinner business by simply offering their lunch menu during those evenings. |

Wow, I dodn't know what you're buying at McDonald's but we can feed a family of 5 for $16. I've done breakfast there for $2.50. |

If you get the breakfast meal, medium/large OJ and coffee that's the price. Yes, if you buy a coffee and hashbrown you can go cheap. The point is for a meal, the BR isn't much more and offers better food. |

Comparing the Blue Rooster to McDonalds? I would hope you could come up with a better example then that. The Blue Rooster has its own niche with a high price point. For those willing to spend the money it can't be beat for convenience. Unfortunately, it appeals to a limited population unless you are going there just to fill your coffee cup. It seems busy all the time so the owners can't be complaining. The prices have gone up but people don't seem to mind. |

What my illus was trying to show was that it's a few dollars more for a better quality product not the restaurants. People were saying 13.00 for a meal was expensive. It's all relative. If you eat at a rt 130 diner it's the same cost, but better ingredients (smaller portions). If you eat at McDonalds it is more expensive by a few dollars a meal.
We're not talking major differences. I paid 65 dollars for a 2 people plus another one who had coffee at a breakfast in NY a few weeks ago. That's expensive. The BR is in line with the area. |
