THE place in DeRidder area for consistently friendly service and delicious fried chicken and sides. Always hot and crispy with just a hint of spicy heat, the fried chicken pieces are much larger than the Sailor's pieces down the street, so come hungry. We haven't made it past that to try the chicken wings, but I have no doubt they'll be a winner too. The sides are always piping hot (when appropriate) and fresh, especially the red beans & rice with generous slices of sausage, the golden-brown natural-cut fries, the crispy fried okra like Grandma used to make... man, even the coleslaw has a fresh twist! Their menu has seen some great Southern-style additions over time, like chicken cracklins and hush puppies. This kind of quality takes time, so don't get your drawers in a knot when it takes a little bit for your order to be ready. (I swear they drop fresh sides when you make your order!) We hit them up for good food more often than I like to admit, but they really shine on Sundays at lunch when they keep things moving and keep the quality steady despite the hungry turnout of customers. We've been customers for over two months and they've NEVER missed a beat. Coming as we did from the Baton Rouge metro area with all its chicken joints, we NEVER had this good an experience, so chalk one up for Big D over BR! From the cooks to the manager to the drivers-they and counter staff, things seem to run like a well-oiled machine, frankly because I think they really care about their product and the customers who choose to spend their hard-earned money here. We've been seeing the same familiar faces for nearly a year, which says to me that it must be a good place to work since they don't have a high turnover rate. One more thing before I let you go: , show your support by buying a baseball cap with logo, a classy look... especially the green one! Keep up the good work, Chicken Depot! It is not easy to do what y'all do, but Lord we're sure glad you do. That kitchen has a magic touch! read more

We have been here 3 times and every time it's amazing, the food is fresh and doesn't disappoint! We will chose this place for chicken every time, the others don't compare. Crispy chicken, crispy fries, soft rolls and delicious Cole slaw. They are in point! read more

Chicken very good. Clean friendly place. Never had a bad dish and have tried several. Will continue to go back often as possible.

Absolutely horrible service. It shouldn't take 30 minutes to order chicken and sides. Definitely not worth the wait. Would never recommend or return. I'd rather go to Popeyes. read more

Food was hot, perfectly seasoned and fried to perfection! Friendly staff. Food came out in a timely manner and was fresh. read more

This is our 2nd visit to Rooster's Chicken Depot. The Service was fast, efficient and friendly. We received our 8 piece Chicken (they were out of wings, but we did get 2 extra Breasts as replacements. That was a Win for us!). The chicken was cooked to perfection, nice snappy bite to the meat. Juicy and cooked to the bone. I like it better than Popeyes. read more

100% quality food. We visit this restaurant from time to time and we are ALWAYS satisfied with the food, service and overall price. Of course we've gotten the chicken strips, okra, and a chicken sandwich. Same great taste and flavor every single time. The strips are large and delicious. We don't go visit Derrider often but when we do we always stop. If you are in the area stop by and order some delicious food. read more

While working In the area I visited this place with coworkers who suggested it. I was hoping to find a grilled option or two on the menu. But I didn't see any. Ended up ordering a two-piece White with coleslaw for the side. The chicken was actually pretty damn good. Now I must admit it has been a couple of years or so since I've eaten fried Chicken. So that could be why it tasted so good because I hadn't eaten it in such a long time. But nonetheless it was good ( I did remove the skin before eating the breast meat) and the pieces were really big. The service was top notch on this particular visit. This was most likely my one and only visit to a fried chicken restaurants for 2022. So I'm glad it was a good experience on this particular visit. read more

Best "fresh" fried chicken, great sides, and friendly professional service in the area. It's always a pleasurable experience.

1st visit EVER and it didn't disappoint at all, we Ordered a 12 pc family meal with mashed potatoes and red beans and the chicken was seasoned just right, juicy, the sides were delicious as well, couldn't have asked for anything better. We will certainly be back from now on. read more

Chicken is always fresh and hot. Restaurant is clean and the staff is always professional.

The chicken is fresh and flavorful. The inside is always clean. It does take a little extra time to get your food because it's cooked fresh. So worth the wait! read more

Always a friendly staff and great Blue's Music set the atmosphere for the best chicken in DeRidder. I think the chicken sandwich is better than the "famous" Popeye's chicken sandwich. Tonight we tried their new Bread Pudding and it was equally fantastic. Rooster's is an easy favorite! read more

We eat there all of the time on our way to Toledo Bend. Best fried chicken hands down.

Lines were backed up at both Leesville and DeRidder Popeyes locations. Blessing in disguise for us as we found this place!! Friendly and smiling customer service, that made us feel welcome right away and the awesome fried chicken and okra was to die for!! Crunchy, flavorful, juicy, finger-licking awesomeness!! Reminded me of my granny's fried chicken. We will be back as this is now our new favorite!!! read more

Absolutely piss poor customer service. EXTREMELY rude! Very slow! The woman working acts like talking to anyone with respect is a burden.
