There is something deeply nostalgic about dining on the historic Decatur square, where the…read moremajestic, pink-granite Wise County Courthouse has stood watch since the late 1890s. Stepping into The Rooster feels like stepping right into the heartbeat of that history, but with a vibrant, modern energy that makes you want to pull up a chair and stay a while. We stopped in on the eve of Independence Day, and the atmosphere couldn't have been more perfect. Our server, Kannan, was an absolute delight--a bubbly, "I love America" kind of gal whose infectious energy and warmth made the whole evening feel like a celebration before the fireworks even started. As for the food, it completely hit the mark for both of us. Brian went the classic Texas route and ordered the catfish. It was fried to absolute perfection, complete with golden hushpuppies and a side of fried okra that tasted like it came straight out of a family recipe book. I was craving something a bit greener and opted for the Cobb salad. It was fantastic--incredibly fresh, crisp, and loaded with all the right toppings. Finding a spot that nails authentic, comforting classics alongside exceptionally fresh, vibrant greens is rare enough, but finding it at such great, family-friendly prices right on the historic square is a jackpot. The Rooster is a true Decatur treasure. We'll absolutely be back!

Very cool BBQ joint right across the street from the City Hall in Decatur. It's an old building…read morewith tons of decorations inside. There are two floors and a back patio. They also have three pool tables and TVs. The menu is extensive and the prices reasonable for BBQ. Seems like a favorite of the locals. I though they would be playing C&W, but they had 60's and 70's music on. The squeeze and I split a two meat plate with brisket and sausage and two sides, cowboy cole slaw and Rooster Tails (Deep fried onion petals). The brisket was moist and very tender, with a slight smokiness. The sausage was deeply smoked, sliced in half and charred a bit on the flattop. The slaw and Rooster Tails were really good. A nice slightly spicy dip was served with the onions. Good BBQ sauce for the brisket, and they also had a wall of pain with some choice hot sauces on it. I didn't partake, since I have a flight to catch in the morning. They brought a second plate for no charge. The squeeze had a canned IPA and I had a Shiner Bock draft for libations. We really enjoyed the meal. Morgan was an excellent server and didn't try to shoo us out even though more customers were coming in. I wish I lived around here so I could try the other items on the menu.

The nice lady at the counter walked us through the process and explained the menu. In order the fish and shrimp combo with tater tots and it came with a "salad bar" and pinto beans. The salad was really fixings for a sandwich or burger and some sauces. My Wife ordered their famous cheeseburger that appears to have won "Best Burger" many times by the plaques on the wall, and their onions rings. Everything is made fresh so we waited about 15 minutes while sitting in the dining room with a great view of Lake Bridgeport. Food was delivered and it looked great and smelled good. My fish was crispy, with a cornmeal batter that was seasoned very elk and it tasted GREAT! The shrimp has a panko breading that was crispy and cured my craving for fried shrimp.Tots nice and crispy, maybe just a little too crispy, but they were very good. Large portions for sure. Our appetizer was a jalapeño sausage, wrapped in bacon and topped with melted cheese. Wow! Excellent pop, not too spicy and the flavors melded great together. The cheeseburger was a short rib grind burger patty, thick and full size. Taste was excellent but the firm texture of the short rib meat may surprise you. The star of the burger was the bun; jalapeño bread reminiscent of a Shlotskys sandwich bread but nice and soft. I could eat just an order of those buns. Overall food 5 stars. The dining room a solid 4 stars as it is showing it's age but we will visit again the get of their great, well priced food.

This is a very popular local place with quick delivery which earns it some high ratings…read more We stopped in after reading the YELP reviews, but there was only 1 table which was taken. There's a hallway to another room, which could have been another business, but no one was in there... and the hallway was kinda blocked by stacks of boxes. I can not tell if it was additional seating or not, but it was very uninviting. While not necessarily rude, the lady at the counter was not welcoming, and appeared to be in a huge rush. The kitchen seemed to be in a state of chaos with several people screaming at each other. As it was us and one other couple, there must have been tons of call-in orders or something... but we seemed more like we were in the way, rather than they appreciated our business. The philly steak grinder, unseasoned with a 1/2 melted piece of provolone thrown over the top (see pic), which would rate a 2. The kids garlic butter spaghetti, was super garlicky... not my preference, but not a big deal. The pizza wasn't cooked through, and was soggy and greasy with no color on the crust at all... 2 stars. There's nothing to say about the Caesar, and the Tiramisu is the same Lisanti frozen product you can get at every Italian joint in the county. There's nothing here that warrants the return drive. 2 STARS

Tried our local Whataburger again, I thought maybe, just maybe someone had tried to change things…read more But, alas, no such luck. I ordered a bacon whataburger with nothing but mayo and asked for extra mayo. What we got was the normal amount of mayo, which was just enough to make the bun shiny letting us know something was there, and tomatoes. Last time I checked "nothing but mayo" ment no vegetables, just mayo. Our other sandwich was a whatacatch with extra tomatoes. What we got was 5 shredded pieces of lettuce and 2 thinly sliced tomatoes. And to top that off the fish was over cooked (DARK) brown, which tasted burnt, our maybe it was cooked in old oil. Very sad, very very sad.

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.
