Service is great and food is excellent. I would never go to a restaurant and order a half chicken however when I tried it here for the first time I couldn't stop thinking about it. I have to give 5 stars to a restaurant that caused me to think about roasted chicken all the time. Apps and drinks are great too. I love all the sides. Nothing bad to say about this place.
Service was great. Came for brunch. The appetizer and two courses were just as good as they sounded.
Great good, quick service and reasonable prices for portions. Calm inviting atmosphere. Only issue was our drinks were mediocre at best and their was only one bartender on a packed Sunday brunch. Didn't get our drinks till we had already started eating.
I have been coming to The Rooster since it opened roughly 10 years ago, usually after my appointments at the area VA. While many restaurants lose their game after even a few years, The Rooster has consistently dialed-in their menu to the near-perfection it now enjoys. Today I had the Chef's Plate, and while I don't go crazy for chicken, this was something magical. The pâté was sublime... so smooth and flavorful. The dark meat is rotisserie roasted, battered (gluten-free!), and finished in the fryer. It was moist, and the texture & flavor are memorable. The Breast & wing were pleasantly moist, and atypically NOT at all smacking of dryness. This meal has me rethinking my stance on Chicken.
Rooster is an amazing restaurant with impeccable service and glorious food. They cater to allergies such a gluten sensitivity by offering many gluten free options The last time we visited they even gave us free rooster shaped shortbread cookies!! The truffle mac and cheese can be made gluten free and it is to die for! Their mussels in basil sauce is something I'll never forget. I was dipping everything in that scrumptious sauce and they gave me extra to take home for my future dipping pleasure! I had the chicken curry pot pie which by itself was delicious but then I dipped it in that basil sauce and my mind was blown! It's just an all around delightful experience from start to finish. I can't wait to come back!!
Was in the mood for some chicken, so what better place to choose? Being my first time at Rooster Co. I was pleasantly greeted with the aroma as soon as I walked in the door. I was also greeted by chickens everywhere! A nice fireplace was lit in one corner by the cozy bar and we were seated on the opposite dining area. Our server was super nice and offered suggestions while we browsed the menu. I went with my niece so we decided to share and try a little bit of everything. We started with a side of crispy Brussels and the lychee cocktail. For our main dish we had the half chicken with the creamiest Mac and cheese and cornbread with this amazing pimento cheese. Everything was amazing, even down to the dipping sauces which were a cola bbq and hot honey truffle. We also had the chicken parm sandwich with truffle fries. And of course can't forget dessert!! I ordered a cappuccino and had to try the potato chip brownie topped with vanilla ice cream and caramel that was very decadent. Good job Rooster Co! Had great food, great service and a great time.
I love this place. I love their food. The chicken Parma is my favorite favorite thing!! Unless it chicken Milanese night and I have that special. The fried chicken is pretty awesome too!! Eat here. End of story!
Great spot for dinner! One of the few spots open on a Monday too. I ordered the fried chicken and loved it! It doesn't come with any sides but you get to choose a sauce - I highly recommend the truffle hot honey. The fried chicken was cooked perfectly and not to greasy which always is a fear when ordering. The table loved the pork belly bao appetizer as well - incredible!
Parking: strip mall parking, limited spaces near a busy intersection. Decor: clean but nothing that really pops or sets it up for a special comment, mostly neutrals with a few pieces of spot color. The black ceiling was a nice touch Side note: there is a ramp when you come in the front door so it is handicap accessible! Staff: friendly and on point with your needs though a little slow even though not that busy Food: tasty but plating was a little lacking in the wow factor Price: very good pricing, if you're looking for good food at a great price, check them out! Overall: I would go back for more menu items as a trusted place to eat!
We arrived at 3:30pm to Rooster & Co, when it was not busy and it took approximately 30 minutes for our food to arrive, which was disappointing... and the traffic outside was VERY loud at times! I'm happy to say the rocky start didn't define the entire experience. The star of the show was the Crispy Broccoli!!! Oh my goodness ~ I would come back just to order those! If you try the Rooster, I'm telling you to order them. You will not be disappointed. I ordered the Crispy Salmon Wrap, which I'm not happy to report was a little fishy and not at all crispy. After adding some of my SIL's Goddess dressing to it, I was able to enjoy it. The fries did arrive lukewarm... but were the thin crispy kind that I know would be amazing if served hot. The complaints stop there... Look At That Goddess Salad! I'm a big time salad eater (was just feeling a little naughty that day), and definitely had salad envy! My brother enjoyed his fried chicken too and it was a generous portion. It was super nice being able to have my furry niece Lacey with us. A trip to the restroom allowed me a peek at their "Cheers-like" bar. All in all I thought The Rooster was a good choice and would be happy to go there again.
