Red Rooster Cook's Choice Four-Piece Dinner
Tom D.

The "legend" in this establishment is the owner/manager Ron Tegtmeier. He has opened numerous restaurants in various locations and has been extremely successful with each of them. Why? Ron has the keys to running a great restaurant in his DNA. 1) Knows and loves good food; 2) Truly has the gift of hospitality; 3) Has a magnetic personality that attracts top quality staff and connects with customers. You can't teach this...it's just part of some people, and Ron is one of them! We arrived at 5:35 pm on a Saturday night in January. They open at 5:00, in the little town of Ceresco, Nebraska. The place was packed and we had a 30-45 minute wait ahead of us. We talked about going somewhere else to avoid the wait...but when you feel the vibe, see the food rolling out of the kitchen, and see Ron and his talented team serving people with a smile, you don't want to leave. We stayed, and we were so glad we did! I can't say enough about the genuine connection and the true passion for hospitality that Ron's team exhibits. It's a rare sight in the restaurant world of today. Consummate professionals in every part of this restaurant, many with decades of restaurant experience. Our server, Phil, was a great example. When we left our table at the end of the night, we sought him out (and Ron) to tell him how much we enjoyed the experience! We started with their legendary onion rings (two orders) and nearly devoured them all. Then it was on to the Red Rooster Chicken, Chicken Fried Steak, and Country Fried Chicken. They were all five-star! We topped it off with their homemade pies and cake (coconut cream and carrot) and couldn't believe how good these were. In summary, an amazing night in a small town restaurant, staffed by people who truly appreciate you as a patron and love serving you. We had food that rivals anything you can get in cities the size of Lincoln and Omaha (we're from Lincoln) for a price that's very fair. This place should be a must try on your list of road-trips. You will be glad you did. It is named "Legendary" for a reason and it lives up to its name!

Chicken fried chicken and mashed potatoes.

This is a great small town restaurant with friendly servers, homemade traditional food and a very comfortable restaurant setting. And a super cool pie case from an old ice freezer...check it out when you come. I loved the bookshelves that Grant our waiter took my squirmy 6 year old to find some books to read while we waited. The walleye and chicken fried chicken was amazing! The kids loved the chicken noodle soup and chicken strips. We ate the fried pickles too fast and didn't get a picture before they melted in our mouths. The batter was so crispy and reminds you of something your grandma would make. Ron the owner was so sweet to sit and talk with us a few minutes and he is proud of his new business and staff and with every right! What a great addition to our town. We are planning on being regulars.

See all
