Let me start by saying if I could leave half a star I would.. I decided on eating this place after another establishment I was looking forward to was closed but I saw that this place also had yakamein or "yat co mein" on there menu. We arrived here with a couple of people out in from waiting on their menu and appeared to be enjoying there food. I got the combination "yat co mein" beef/chicken. I also ordered a hamburger and fries. My friend had ordered the beef as well. Our food came out rather quickly but the girls working the windows attitudes could be greatly improved. The burger was basic and nothing really to rave about. It was the yakamein that blew me. This was my son and I first time trying it and as soon as he took one bite he told me it was nasty and refused to eat. I thought no? Let me try it. If this is what I have to look forward to at other places I'll never eat yakamein again. They legit need to take it off of their menu. The beef looked like gray beef cubes and the chicken pale. The stock tasted like seasoned pasta water with a ton of green onions. I tried adding hot sauce and it made no difference. Both my friend and I threw it away what you see in that picture attached is what was thrown away. If I could've gotten my money back I would have. I'd greatly appreciate the owner reaching out for a reimbursement honestly. It was the most distasteful thing I've eaten all year and needs tremendous improvement. The seating area provided is really cute. read more

Red Rooster - Combo (Chicken and Beef) Yat Co Mein - Seafood Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Ordered infamous "Yat Co Mein" and was disappointed. Soup lacked flavor, noodles were mushy, definitely not a dish I'd recommend on a humid day in Louisiana. It really just tasted like soy sauce and chicken broth with overcooked spaghetti noodles. Worst part was how excited I was to eat it (this dish has a lot of hype surrounding it). Would return to Red Rooster because service was friendly but will order something else next time. 3/5 read more

Red Rooster - Chicken Yat Co Mein - Seafood Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Theee best shrimp on bun I've ever had. The shrimp are fried and seasoned to perfection, stuff the bun and the bread is always so soft and fresh. There usually is a wait and a line but I understand why. Do yourself a favor and order one the next time you stop by. read more

They need to stop selling yakamein. Horrible! I've never seen beef look like that. Vert disappointing.

Good lunch spot. Reasonable prices. They also sell snowballs. Takeout only and you can call ahead.

One of the best snowball, multi food serving stands not just in the Uptown area but in N.O as a whole. Food is always delicious and they serve many different flavors for the snowballs along with being timely and great customer service! read more

That red bean and rice plate! Thee best red beans I've had here! The chicken was fried good, if you have HBP beware cause no seasoning is spared!! The snowballs were good too ! read more

Red Rooster - Beef Yet-Ca-Mein - Seafood Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

No trip to NOLA is complete with out a stop at Red Rooster. The prices are low, and the food is delicious. This is the best place in town for wings. I recommend coming here just for a snack. Get some small plates. Try a stuffed bell pepper for only $6.50. Or a meat pie for only $2! Or a grilled cheese for only $2.25! How do they keep the prices so low. If you want a meal, I recommend the 10 piece wing plate. It has french fries, tossed salad, toasted bread or cheese macaroni, veggie & potato salad. It will feed two people easy. read more

Dropped by Red Rooster on a whim after a long walk to nearby Michaels, and got a very nice snowball. They do have sugarfree flavors--strawberry and ice cream--though they are not on the menu. Prices are great, only 1.50 for a small. Overall a cool spot that seems very popular with the neighborhood. Lots of people getting takeout meals while I sat and ate my treat. read more

Yummy, yummy, yummy! I don't know why I hadn't visited this place sooner. Great prices, delicious food, great service. Everything is made to order so allow time for cooking.

Food is amazing . If I could give more stars I would. I asked the nice lady who took my order could I have crawfish cheese fries instead of nachos and they were able to. Would absolutely recommend. Food seasoned to perfection, fried perfectly, will be back. *also purchased a 12 oz Bahama Mama sno ball. Delicious as well. I saw most ppl Order them and add condensed milk as a topping (60 cent extra for toppings) which gives it an interesting twist. Check them out for some authentic New Orleans food. read more

It might be the Westbanker in me that loves a good roadside food shack, but this place is pretty legit. Came here for some grub before we started the whole house float thingy. Food was perfect! I got the cheeseburger on French and it is pretty tasty. The cheese fries is fries with nacho cheese sauce, but if you don't mind it like myself, you will enjoy yourself. Great food and pretty cheap prices equals a place I plan on going visit again. read more

Red Rooster - Nice menu! - Seafood Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I've been dining with red rooster for years, and this is the first time I was disappointed in the food. The chicken was burned and salty. The yam mean had pieces of meat I've never seen. I was truly disappointed in the food, but the service was great. read more

Came upon this place before heading out of Nola and OMG it is SO good!!!!!!!!!!! Got the shrimp poboy with ketchup instead of mayo & the hot sausage sandwich with cheese and grilled onions. One of the best meals we've discovered in the Garden District! They have a big menu, and a whole snow cone section too. And a mom runs it with her adorable daughter who was helping take orders. This place is a GEM! read more

Baby when I tell you, the best nachos in New Orleans hands dwn, I haven't tried the food plates , but I already know it's DA BOMB

All I could say is omg I always pass this place up but I finally went to Red Rooster I had food from here soooooo delicious will be back soon read more

It's a neighborhood snowball place that's as some of the best yet-ca-men in New Orleans and the snowballs are great large selection of flavors read more

If you're looking for the best New Orleans creole cooking with a, you're eating at grandma house today, type food that awakens your soul, this is the place to go. Do not go eating else where in New Orleans and saying, they said their food is the best in New Orleans but they just ok, without trying Big Mommas food at the Red Rooster Snowball Stand. Don't just search for Red Rooster either, because you know other businesses always steal a name if they know the name is popular. Don't say you ate at The Real Original Red Rooster if they do not sell snowballs. Their seafood platter and nachos with crawfish and cheese, is to fight for. You better make sure you look at the number on your ticket, because if you go grab my plate when they call my number, it is on and poppin, we gone fight. read more

Food Review: The roast beef po-boy is TDF!!! I recommend calling ahead with your order. Ask for extra meat, extra pickles and extra mayo. You will not be disappointed! read more

My favorite place to eat in NOLA! They are a staple in the community! Try the shrimp po boy, nachos and fries!

Me and my family whent hear to get a snowball and it was sooooo good and the Po' Boy we got with it they were so delicious

A friend that use to live out here recommenced Red Rooster. A nice getaway from the tourist area. When my husband wazed the address it sent us to the wrong place, you have to get directions from google. Anyway..it's clientele is mostly New Orleans Natives so you already know! We ordered the shrimp po boy, yet-ca-me in chicken, and wings. And of course 2 snow balls. The fresh and flakiness of the bread of the po boy made half of it the breaded shrimp made the other half. The wings were perfectly crunchy with no seasoning on it. The yet-ca-Mein although I don't know where this plate originated from, it reminds me of a dinner that your mama had to invent when groceries were low at the house. Very tasty and filling! Try something different try Red Rooster. read more

I come here often, and it never disappoints. A nice place to get a good meal. This place is a very small walk-up stand, but the food is really good. Small menu, but food has big flavor. From their chicken plates, sandwiches and poboys, and other small items, you can't go wrong. items, I truly recommend this place. They also have a variety of delicious snowballs to choose from as well. read more

I've been going to Red Rooster since I was a little girl ..I'm 43 now...Every time I return home to visit, I make it my business to run uptown for a snowball from Red Rooster..But listen, I need them to invest in some gloves or something..It is not sanitary to be pressing down on the ice that's in the cup with the palm of your hands ....I guess this is done to make room for more of the shaved ice...ok, I get that..But this should not be done with the same hands you've been handling money with..Not to mention some people's palms are sweaty ...I watched one young lady take orders, take and count the money, then proceed to making the snowballs without washing her hands or even as much as grabbing a lil sanitizer ...I'm all for productivity and I understand they're trying to get the orders in and out in a timely manner...However, there should be some level of cleansing ness in the process ..And don't tell me nothing about ice don't carry germs ..BULL&@@$! Also, if there is syrup dripping down the cup, it'll be nice if they would take the time to do a quick wipe down..If not, please supply the customer with enough napkins to clean it themselves ..Nonetheless, I live for the Wild Cherry & Hawaiian... Carry'on read more

This place makes good snowballs and assorted snacks at far better prices than many of the other more popular snowball joints. The neighborhood definitely still has authentic Central City eccentricities with things like Ya Ka Mein and people banging on the window of the snowball stand yelling about money they think was charged wrong. It is usually a really quick turn around and faster than many of the other snowball joints about town. read more

I love this place! Everytime I come to New Orleans I have to visit. My favorite is 'Yet ca mein' read more

Snowballs year round--even on the coldest day of the year!! Coming from NY I had no idea snowballs were seasonal (and that NOLA gets seriously cold!) I found Red Rooster after searching for winter snowballs all week in the French Quarter. We stopped here on our way to the airport. My snowball was fluffy and smooth and everything I had hoped for! Next time I will also have to try the ya ka mein!! read more
