First time here and probably won't return. I ordered Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich and Waffle Fries with a pop. Cost was about $20 with a 10% tip I left for bringing me my food. The good: waffle fries dunked in Rooster sauce, which is basically a copycat to Raisin Canes sauce. The bad here is where it goes south. The chicken breast is huge and too big to get your mouth around the bun. It is obviously frozen as the crusty crispy part was hard as a rock. I removed the bun and cut with a knife but chicken was tough that it bent the tines on the plastic fork. The chicken also tasted rubbery. The coleslaw on top was a huge mess. I ate about 1/2 and brought the rest home to my dog. I removed most of crunchy coating. Maybe the chicken tenders are what you are supposed to order. I don't know. Super expensive for basicly frozen chicken. The mall was also basically abandoned. Go elsewhere!! read more

A great meal, amazing service!! Our Door dash person left half of our order at the store, but since we're so close (after door dash wanted us to fill out an email form ) my husband drove over to the store, got our food PLUS an order of fries....free..... And a gift card.... Even though it was not their mistake!! They've earned our business. And they were so very helpful!! The food was yummy!!!! Also, we just got credit from Door dash, which is very cool!! read more

This place deserves to be way more busy than it is right now. The menu variety is creative (along with delicious drink options!) and the chicken has great flavor. They do front load the carbs a bit, but I get it, food prices are going up and they're trying to make do. I just wish the ratio of chicken to rice was a bit better. What really sells this place though is the owner, who's always around and great to talk to. read more

Food was JUST ok. Staff was very nice, and restaurant was clean. I was not wowed by anything and the pistachio baklava was not good at all. The lemonade was amazing though!!! read more

Love the bone in wings, best chicken in hastings. The restaurant was clean and the customer service is great.

I ordered from DoorDash so I cannot tell you about the location. BUT....if you want GENEROUS portions and FLAVORFUL food, you absolutely must try this chicken!! It is so much more than I expected! My wife ordered the Original Chicken Wrap. It was larger than the thickest burrito that ever left Chipotle. She took out about half of a chicken worth of meat to finish most of the wrap with the veggies! I ordered the Parmesan Garlic Chicken with Rice. In the description it says, flavorful rice and they mean it! The flavor builds from a gentle pleasant taste to a more spicy taste as you eat it. The chicken itself tastes more spicy the entire time but the white meat itself is the less flavorful meat keeping the heat at bay. I had one black container of food, PACKED to the top. Enough for 3 meals...no exaggeration! Even the waffle fries are made with fresh flavor. If you find it too much, you can place special ordering instructions. Unique for the area, delicious, generous, thoughtful, and a place that I would be more than happy to return to and recommend! read more

Just meh... overpriced imo. $74 for a family of 4 for chicken strips and lemonade. Chicken strips were okayish. Dipping sauce was like Cane's. read more

Service was fine. The chicken was fine, but I got the Korean Chicken rice Bowl for $13.99 my boyfriend got the chicken hot honey crispy sandwich meal for $15.99. The Korean BBQ felt like an imposter. It was too tangy, too much vinegar based. It was spicy and not real Korean BBQ. If it's not made by actual Koreans, it's not going to be good. My boyfriend's sandwich was good, but extremely messy. We thought it would've been in a sauce, not drizzled honey all over. It was extremely messy and sticky. Not a way to serve this sandwich. The fries are waffle fries and I'm not a fan of the larger fries. The only thing they got right was the rice. Meh. I wouldn't come back here to eat. read more

the Mac and cheese is creamy and hearty, the orange creamsicle lemonade is to die for, made me remember my childhood

Why do I keep giving this place a try? I'm done! Overpriced tasteless chicken. Totally gross sides. Tried the greasy catfish . Maybe try a different business like construction or dry cleaning! You certainly don't have a gift for the food industry! P.S. fell free to hire someone with a personality! read more

My husband and I ordered Roosters on Saturday for dinner. It was absolutely delicious. I got the fried chicken sandwich with fries ... not just any fries waffle fries! My husband got the Nashville Hot chicken sandwich and was amazed at how good it was. The lemonade was phenomenal and I've been craving it since. The service was great and the employees were knowledgable on what to order. I forgot to take pictures of our meal, it was 10 out of 10. read more

Amazing service, these people deserve more business! Food is great too, they offered me a piece of cake while I waited and it was so good! read more

I ordered the original chicken sandwich. The chicken breast was actually so large that I had to cut the sides off to eat the sandwich. I think my whole meal was 14 dollars. Well worth it. The chicken was fresh and hot. And their rooster sauce they make in house, is delicious. The staff were very nice and professional. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Everything is just average about this place, the quality of the food, the service, and the ambiance. It's not "too" bad for the price you pay, but don't go in with high expectations, just another fast food joint for chicken. read more

It's alright. The Mac and cheese is a bit bland and the chicken is chewy. There isn't much else to say. Add some seasoning to the Mac and cheese. Throw in some bread crumbs. I don't know. The cheese works and I like how smooth it is but there just isn't a lot of flavor. And the chicken has a good crunch and a nice seasoning but the meat itself is just chewy. Also make some chicken Pattie's. With the chicken so big, everything in the sandwich slid right out. Onions are fresh and crisp. Pickles are tasty and not too over powering. Sauce tastes good and the cheese is complimentary. When I could eat it all in one, it was very tasty. Yelp when something is mid then there isn't much to say. It's not bad enough to complain nor good enough to rave. It's "you'll get there. Keep trying". Is that long enough for you yelp? read more

The chicken was great! Definitely a step above the chicken spots I'm accustomed to in the Midwest. Their signature sauce definitely has a similar vibe to the signature sauces you may taste in southern chicken establishments. Would definitely go again. read more

I guess if you like white pasty chicken it's up to you I prefer mine golden brown and crisp

my girlfriends, and I frequent roosters for lunch... I absolutely love their food! Every time I order the roosters deluxe, no lie the chicken breast is about the size of my face! I would highly highly suggest if you haven't gone yet you need to try it! I've ordered the buffalo mac & cheese multiple times and it is so yummy. They have great flavored lemonades and it's decently priced. read more

Great food!!!! We did 1,600 wings for a graduation party. All was spot on!!!!! Normally we would get any of the chicken sandwiches. Now this is my go-to place for wings. read more

We stopped by on our way home, which was 30 minutes away. I really wanted to like the place, my daughter raves about the chicken tenders and rooster sauce, but it was disappointing from start to finish. First, we placed our order and the girl said could you take this to go because we close at 8. It was only 7:25! I said we won't take more than 10-15 minutes to eat how long are you going to take to cook it?! There were no orders ahead of us so I didn't figure it would take long. It took about 15 minutes which was fine but 5 minutes into eating the same girl brings a small trash can and sits it by our table and says, we're taking out the garbage so if you could put your trash in here when you're done that'd be great. WTH?! It was 7:45?! Now we're feeling unwanted and pressured to get the hell out. The Mac and cheese was good but not as creamy as the pic on the menu, the tenders in my chicken wrap were extremely dry and my husband said though the batter was good, the texture of his fish was like jello or mush and threw half of it out. I was going to say something to the staff but since we already felt unwanted we just left, promptly at 8. Between the high price (34.57 for fish w/waffle fries and drink, chicken tender wrap and cheesy Mac), lackluster quality and totally unprofessional service, we are unlikely to ever return. read more

I was nervous due to all the bad reviews but was gladly proven wrong! Had the chicken strips myself-if you like lightly battered chicken strips like I do than you will like this place. The ratio of chicken to bread is spot on, in my opinion. The waffle fries are great as well. The person I was with had a sandwich and it was huge and crispy! read more

I just finished my third takeout order from Rooster in Hastings. I usually get the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and I love it! Today we got the 30 boneless wings and that is what prompts this review. I am always concerned about ordering boneless wings because you don't know when you will get chicken vs nugget. Let me tell you these were substantial 2 to 3 bites each and fantastic! Pretty sure they are using tenders and just cutting them down because this is big chunks of white meat. Easy ordering for pickup through their website and the order was hot and ready right on time. Great food at a fair price. All you Cane's fans are missing out because this place is waaaay better! read more

I have 4 experiences with Red Rooster. 2 dine ins and 2 take outs. The first dine in was the Greek salad which was good. The next two visits were take outs. One they forgot a salad which was on the ticket and paid for. The next take out I tried the Greek salad again. No dressing was included. Tried dine in yesterday late afternoon and went with the deluxe rooster sandwich. They left off the coleslaw. I'm probably done with them. read more

Just tried this place for the first time. Had the Nashville Chicken sandwich- it was fresh, hot, crispy and delicious! It's an entire chicken breast!! Looking forward to trying the chicken strips next time!! read more

I give a 3.5 - a half star deduction for the Mac and cheese alone, and another star for not impressing me thoroughly... don't get me wrong, you won't get a better chicken basket in town anywhere other than here. read more
