Rooster's is downtown on the Main Street; easy to find right across from the county courthouse. I visited on a Tuesday afternoon and it was a bit busy but was instantly greeted, seated myself at the bar, and served a (very) cold drink immediately. I had the 2-meat plate with fries. Hot fresh fries; good smoked sausage and sliced brisket. I did as I like to do: took my time eating, visiting with the staff and local folks. I enjoyed every minute and every bite. I parked my 18-wheeler a mile away and walked into town; hadn't walked three blocks back and a local fellow stopped and says, "Can I give you a ride? It's awful hot." My kinda place.

My cousin and I have witnessed the employees playing on their phones, joking and not paying attention to the customers multiple times. And the employees flat out lie to customers. I witnessed one employee working on the ice dispenser. Two days later I went back into the location and asked the SAME employee if she ever got the ice maker working and she said she never worked on it. What???

The best things on the menu are the Honey Walnut Shrimp, and the Orange Chicken. These are the all time favorites. The restaurant says there isn't a vegan/ vegetarian option other than the rice, and that's due to cross-contamination issues. However, if you are health reason vegan, and not ethical vegan, there are many options available... but you will face probably cross contamination For PE pros, though, be sure to try the Orange Chicken with Bacon! Mind blown! If you are super low carb, you can get the beef with Cabbage! Almost no carbs at all, and it's delicious. The whole menu is hackable! Also, I wish they would bring back the spare ribs!

This location is attached to a gas station and the menu board was all scratched, so it looked sketch. But our order was correct and the food was warm so no complaints there. My husband and I both ordered the chicken sandwich. The breading has a certain seasoning in it that reminds me of frozen chicken you get from Walmart except this chicken also had a weird shape. It was not just a chicken patty-shape, it had knarls and kinks in it. Our sandwich was made with potato bun which is my fave which hosted a horseradish/mayo-type sauce on it, but I didn't like the way the flavor of the sauce clashed with whatever seasoning is in the breading. I am going to feel confident in assuming the chicken is not breaded in house but rather are trucked frozen so the taste cannot be changed though. No biggie, I can always go somewhere else for my chicken sandwich cravings after all it IS called BURGER king. My deduction of a star is due to the actual taste of the food as it wasn't my preferred taste, even though the fries are great! But customer is on point. So if you're driving through and need a quick place to stop, not a bad pick.

They weren't over powered with cheese. I ordered ham. It looked dry and I was worried when she was slicing it. It was anything but dry. Smoked perfectly and tasty. I loved it. Great flavor. The brisket was fatty, tender and pull apart deliciousness. My sis loved her pulled pork sandwich. Proudly exclaimed 5 stars! We tried their jalapeño Mac n cheese, green beans, coleslaw, potato salad, baked beans and macaroni salad. The Mac n cheese. Heavenly and the best I've had in Texas. We loved their potato salad. I'm telling you it was perfection. It's a mashed potato salad...and I'd argue like the Mac n cheese the best I've ever had. Coleslaw was creamy and not too sweet and we also really liked their macaroni salad. 2 things. Green beans weren't seasoned. Super bland. And I'm not a fan of how they prepackage their sides and you grab it out of the warmer or cooler. Their sides are some of the best in DFW. Let people see the product. Preparing them ahead gives a generic look and feel. I almost forgot the banana pudding. Soooo good. A must try! I liked that the lady stopped by and how everything was...it was warm and genuine. Bottom line 5 stars. We really really enjoyed it. We will back!

I met up with a friend, and we decided to give Gogo Gumbo a try. Excellent choice! The first word that came to mind during the meal was memories. Good food, good conversation, and a comfortable atmosphere have a way of creating them. We started with two Seafood Gumbo Cups. The gumbo had shrimp and crawfish, and the seasoning was just right and full of flavor without being overpowering. A great way to start the meal. I had a small cup of steam rice to add to the gumbo too. The atmosphere was another pleasant surprise. The vibe was relaxed, the staff was attentive, and, most importantly, we could actually have a conversation without fighting through a wall of unnecessary background noise. For our entrées, my friend ordered the Chicken Schizzle with grits, while I ordered the Etouffee. Yes, Etouffee (I believe that's French, and no, I don't speak French) I asked what it was. What I do speak is good food, and this was delicious. The Etouffee was rich, flavorful, and satisfying. I enjoyed every bite and definitely found myself savoring it rather than rushing through the meal. We had iced sweet tea and regular tea, although I'm sure they have some excellent drinks as well. Overall, this was my first visit to Gogo Gumbo, and it definitely won't be my last. Great food, good service, a relaxed atmosphere, and a place where you can actually enjoy the company you came with. I'm a fan, and I highly recommend Gogo Gumbo. Sometimes a good restaurant gives you more than a good meal; it gives you a memory.
