    Ok, I may be biased as I'd consider the Rooster my local, but there's a good reason I'm drawn to it. The food is consistently fresh and always tasty. Everything is made from scratch and tastes like home. Staff are all super friendly, and there's always good company to be found at the bar. Above all, it's a proud locally owned business and has worked hard to deserve the support it gets from the community. Undeniably the best place in Saco for breakfast, and they serve lunch and dinner too.

    The home fries are amazing, have a blend of spices on them that bursts in your mouth. Their sourdough toast also has a savory heady flavor that lasts far longer than when you are eating them from. Overall a very enjoyable experience, I would suggest going again, next time the omelet looked tasty so that is the next try.
