My sister raves about the chicken nachos at Roosters- so giving them a try. First time trying the food here. Ordered nacho deluxe with Mexican chicken and an order of tater tots. Food was good. Not sure why my sister was overly excited tho, lol. The staff was very efficient and my pickup went smoothly. Only minus is that i did not get the side of salsa i asked for. read more

Always good food and nice wait staff!!!! Wings are very good and the Red White and Bleu salad with chicken on it is delicious

Roosters has never, ever let me down. This location (or any of the others) are always tasty/consistent tasty fast casual. Is it a place where I go when I'm feeling fancy or looking for innovative takes on a dish, nope. But if I want wings or appetizers this is where I come. Roosters serves my favorite wings (of the places I've sampled wings in the CBus area). The ability to mix and match sauces (and rubs) generally makes my day. I've always found that the wings are cooked to order. Surprisingly, their pizza is pretty tasty. Same goes for the caesar salad. Burgers are solid too but remember you'll need to add on a side as their menu is à la carte. Which is perfect if your snackish or want this and some of that. One of the only downsides is that the beer selection, for a city with so many wonderful breweries, kinda blows. So if you're really aching for local and delicious beer, there may be one or two local (at least from Ohio) beers on tap. There's always Rhinegeist's Truth, which is solid and balanced. Oh and this is totally where I take my 60+ parents when they visit as I know I can be satisfied but so can they. p.s. I have also always had attentive service. Regardless of it I am dining in or grabbing a takeout order. read more

We started our meals with a couple of appetizers cheese sticks and fried mushrooms. Both were okay but probably wouldn't order them again. My wife and daughter got the breaded chicken strips and I got the meat pizza. The pizza was about average wasn't the worst wasn't the best. My daughter and wife did not care for the chicken. I did tasted one piece and I thought it was pretty good. I would probably come back, but the family wouldn't. For that reason only four stars. A couple of side notes, it's very loud here the prices are very good and the service is average. read more

My experience at Roosters was great. The staff are friendly and provide excellent customer service. The draft beer selection is decent and the food quality was better than the other wing type sports bars. I loved the Donkey-Garlic combination wing sauce and the Bleu Cheese dipping sauce that definitely tasted house made; and it cooled down the spice of the Donkey sauce perfectly. COVID cleaning and spacing is also strictly enforced with mandatory face coverings so I felt confident that my dining experience was safe. Check out the coupons in the Entertainment Book. read more

Been eating at Roosters for nearly 20 years with that said tonight's wings were prepared and cooked to perfection . Usually I get boneless mixed with gold / donkey USUALLY they're either tossed in one of the sauces WAY more then usual ... not tonight , they were perfect . I also usually get drums hot tonight was no different . With the size of these wings and with the phenomenal deal on Monday it's easy to get complacent on the fryers with so much business and tend to undercook the wing ... once again NOT tonight these wings were cooked crispy and to perfection. Long story short ... keep being Roosters and having the best wings in the area . Special shout out to the crew in the kitchen on 12-7-20 awesome job thanks for making the food the way it's supposed to be made !!!! read more

This is literally the best place in the world. I went here 3 times and I had two waitresses already call me by my name when I walk in. I go to this place more than church! If you and your buddys need some wings and beer...well GO HERE! read more

I almost posted a 5 start but I do think there's a little room for improvement. First though, absolutely loved the lively sports atmosphere. Amazing and friendly staff. Customers love this spot. Funny note, the one TV running an infomercial for a unique and durable copper cooking pan juxtaposed the male energy portrayed in the surrounding TVs that screamed sports sports sports. My friend whom I was dining with made a point to go apologize for another sports oriented male who was trapped facing this TV. Thankfully, a waitress came to his rescue and changed the channel to a Cleveland Indians game. Crisis averted. The wings were absolutely delicious. I ate 5 Korean BBQ wings and 5 mild wings. I usually love blue cheese dressing, but I actually love these wings without it. The CBC east coast IPA is spot on. I'm a west coast hop head but lately, I've been enjoying ECIPA for their malt power and cleaner finish on the palate. Given this was my first eating experience in Ohio, is was a total success. Awesome. read more

Roosters - CBC East Coast IPA. Great beer, as a west coast hop head who loves aggressive hops. malt was on point for a more pleased beer with wings. - American Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Actually, I rate them as 4.5 stars. We have eaten in the restaurant a couple of times. The service can be slow, especially when there is a game on. Since we live nearby, we order usually get take out from them. The food is consistently good. When ordering chicken, we usually get the fingers instead of the wings. They have two options: breaded and grilled. Both are good. The fingers are a good size. A half order with salad and a side will fill the average person. We have tried a number of the sauces and have no complaints. Our favorites are the Carolina Gold and Sweet Thai Chili. We usually get a couple of appetizers (sides) and split amongst our family of four. We've tried several and have always been satisfied with our selections. We love the Red, Bacon, and Bleu salad and get it every time we order from Rooster's. We've also had the chicken sandwiches and burgers. Everything had been consistently good and well flavored. They are a bit on the pricey side. By the time we add sides and salad to our order, it can get rather expensive. That and the usually slow service prevents me from giving them a full 5 stars. read more

Don't go to Roosters as often as I should always consistent , went last night the place was packed but kudos to the wait staff all are really efficient and pleasant, flavorful wings cooked just right great size portions, really good value for money. read more

The food is great. The servers are always attentive and friendly. Seating is plentiful

Perfect place for casual family fun! This Columbus chain has a great menu that offers something for everyone...even a veggie burger which I tried. Loved that we could customize the sauce on our boneless wings. Dumpster chips were in point and the buffalo pizza with a wing on top was awesome! Lots of TV screens with interesting things to watch, friendly servers, and prices that don't dent the wallet make this a place to return to again and again! Love that they have the OSU football schedule cards. read more

My husband loves Roosters, but "it's ok restaurant"for me. We used to go to Roosters in Marysville, but their hot sauce tasted different... normally hot sauce has buttery taste but theirs was not. So my husband decided to change location to Roosters on Henderson. They're always busy but service is good. My husband never had an empty bud lite glass(he loves Bud Lite and drinks a lot!). Recently he tried Donkey Garlic sauce (Donkey sauce + Garlic sauce). It was good and he likes better than Hot sauce. read more

We love Rooster's. Good, albeit mostly fried and fattening food at fine prices. Strong drinks. Plenty of TVs, and cute, funny sayings all over the walls. I pretty much grew up on that other wing place - BW3 - because they had a location near my dorm at Ohio State. And you know what...?!? I genuinely like Rooster's better. Roosters' menu is broader, and their wings are definitely much meatier than those skinny little barely-any-meat wings at BDub. Roosters is better folks. Now go get some wings... read more

Roosters is generally a 4-5 star for food, but this location isn't great. The parking lot is SMALL and typically full if you're going during peak meal hours. Just park in the shopping center behind the restaurant and walk over. The inside of the restaurant is smaller than the locations on Olentangy and Gemini, which leads to longer wait times during dinner hours. You can't go wrong with roosters boneless wings with garlic sauce. The wings are massive. Huge chunks of chicken with a super crunchy exterior. I'm a fan of the nachos, roosters nest, and loaded tots appetizers. There is usually a 16 oz. beer special for $1.98. Today the special was Michelob Ultra and Bud Light. That price is good all day, every day so you can't go wrong if you're looking for cheap beer and good wings. If you want a sports bar atmosphere, Rooster's won't disappoint. However, I'd recommend going to other locations if you want better luck with parking/seating. read more

the food was good as usual, but the service was absolutely horrible. I went here with my friends after a football game and the manager came over to us, rudely asking to take off our dried body paint. I understand if this paint was wet, but it had been on for about 4 hours and she could clearly see that the washable paint was not staining the chairs, and even the adults around us were saying that she was overreacting. Anyways she said that we could NOT wash off in the bathroom and instead we would have to go outside like DOGS and wipe ourselves off with paper towels that our other friends had to get us because we were not allowed back inside unless we were clean, even though on the other half of the restaurant the kids at our school were not told to clean off like we were and they were fully covered in paint. We we're causing no trouble, but we're clearly singled out. Even after all of this our waitress did not fill up one of our cups once (it was not very busy you could see her and her coworkers standing around) and she basically threw our receipts at us (none of us were done eating, with my chicken wing in hand I was trying to pay the bill). Nonetheless bad experience and will definitely not be coming again, still all tipped 15-20% but wishing I had that one dollar back. Also as working in food service I understand that customers can be rude and ruin your day (especially on a Friday), but you do not have to take it out on these poor children like at that point I'll take my business elsewhere, thank you. read more

I've been told for a long time to come to Roosters from so many people. Today I finally decided to come and guess what the person who stood me up yesterday actually showed up! I got the benefit of the doubt and they paid for my lunch today, so we got ourselves the potato skins, 10 boneless wings and a side salad. I was just full after five of the wings alone. Keeping in mind that I'm on a strict diet for the next 2 weeks until my wedding so my food intake has been much less. I know you all are either A.) excited I have two weeks until the big day B.) happy the person actually showed up today or C.) happy I tried a new place and experienced the food. I would go with all the above since I like being treated these days and sometimes going out and trying new things is all you need when you are under a lot of stress these days. The reason I gave the restaurant as a whole 3 stars is because I'm not a fan of breaded wings, maybe because I have been eating a lot healthier these days. If you met me a while back maybe I would have been a fan of the wings but for now they were just okay, nothing too special. I guess my taste buds have changed these days. Oh well, I do give the restaurant kuddos for being nice and letting me sit wherever I want for lunch. read more

I either dine in or get carry put from this location on a weekly basis. The very first time I ordered a Fried Chicken Salad it was amazing. I've been going WEEKLY for months now. The last time, was the last time. I complained to the manager about a month ago regarding the lack of tomatoes and cucumber on a large salad and the fact that my chicken was not shaken. The manager made the next one to ensure the salad was made correctly. Since then, it has been back to the normal, tablespoon of tomatoes n cucumber and the meat being not shaken in BBQ sauce. I pay for extra sauce as all of sudden my salads started having sauce on 1 side, that cannot be shaken. The carry out team have my standing order on their computer. The only thing I will do is change the dressing sometimes. I quit adding bacon and eggs I have those things are home. I did not ask for egg yet I was charged for it. It's sad that I have spent numerous amounts of money at this establishment, was tipping on to-go orders until the order was not right. They can see that I am a regular customer EVEN during the pandemic I still supported them. I can clearly see the this location does not want my business. I would fight for the .79 credit but naaaaa go ahead n add that to the tip jar. This location is .04 miles from my home. If I really want a salad from Roosters, I will have to inconvenience myself by driving 4 miles to the Olentangy location. read more

We always enjoy our food here. I ordered the fried chicken salad with medium sauce. I did the half order. It is a big enough salad but had only one piece of chicken on it. I would probably order the full size next time. My son order 10 wings. The bone in ones are nice full size chicken wings and the boneless my husband got were big too. They have lots of beer happy hour specials everyday of the week. I like it better than Buffalo Wild Wings because it is local business, I feel like the chicken is better and bigger, and it just has a fun casual atmosphere too. I could not give 5 stars because the table we sat in towards the front of the building was cold most of the time. Cold air, from the ventilation system, would blow on us and even people around us were wearing coats. read more

I didn't realize how much I loved roosters wings until I moved out of Columbus. Both the sauces and wings themselves are delicious. I've always had good service at this location and am so happy to live close! read more

Food was great as usual. I got a hamburger and it was delicious. My boyfriend got the boneless wings and their wings are some of our favorites. Only con I have is the slow service when it wasn't busy. read more

I love the large menu. Their subs are really good but I love their wings and boneless wings. You MUST try the Roosters Red salad dressing. I would like to see healthier options on the kids menu. A fruit side dish would make Roosters more family friendly. read more

Our go-to place for boneless wings. They have the best cauliflower wings that I have found at a restaurant.

Roosters is my favorite place in town to get wings. I typically go for teriyaki and honey bbq sauce and it does not disappoint every time. This particular Roosters location is busy and lively and service is pretty quick. The parking lot is not very big so you might have to park in the lot behind (Silla's and the pub) but it's a really short walk. I also love that wings are 79 cents on Mondays. read more

I love roosters. This is by far my favorite wing place I believe their wings are very large compared to some other places like a BW3 or Beef O'Brady's. The Waitresses are always really nice people are good they got great cold draft beer I got hot wings always go with the donkey wings with ranch and fries with no telling how much money I've spent in this place to be honest. But I've never had a bad meal here, steak and potato chicken wing type of dude and this is right up my alley I put this above Hooters I put this above any other wing place this is by far my favorite sports bars American bar whatever you want to call it. They always have excellent TVs and everything just is awesome love this place 5 out of 5 read more

Food was fantastic. soft pretzels, wings, chicken salad. Tasted great, love coming home from school and eating at roosters. The service was.......about as bad as it could get. She was their every 3 min pushing us along. "What do you want to order", "want you check now"...she actually just brought the check and put it on the table, we were going to order more food but she just brought the check. We hadn't even put a card in the black book yet and she just grabbed the book and came back and said did you want to pay for it yet... I'm telling you this, I will never eat here again knowing a waitress will serve you like that. I don't care how good the food is, if I can't even just sit an enjoy it for just a moment. Sorry roosters, you've got a horrible employee on your hands that's driving away I'm sure more than just me. "Do you want to pay yet?" read more

I have no idea why I have not reviewed this before...it's one of my favorite places in Columbus. My family loves all Roosters but Henderson Road is our favorite! The wings are tossed just right. The chips are extra crispy. The salad is fresh and crisp. And they serve the coldest, most delicious Rooster Red beer!!! If you want a great family atmosphere, excellent service and outstanding food...you must visit!! read more

This is my first time here and I was fairly impressed with the service here. I got this pickles which were so tasty. They were half off appetizers. Wings are huge, crispy, great size and decent price. I asked for honey mustard mixed with hot buffalo sauce!This place reminds me of a fancier Buffalo Wild Wings. It's a good place to hangout. read more

I hate writing negative reviews, but I felt compelled to do so on this one. While our service was pretty good, the wings just drove a giant nail in the coffin. I got 50 honey bbq traditional wings, and they came with VERY minimal sauce on them. When I say this, I mean I was scraping the bottom of the dish with each wing in hopes that I could get more sauce on them. Additionally, the wings were bone-dry. They were extremely hard to swallow, it was literally like trying to swallow a bundle of tooth picks. The leftovers were inedible, in that I couldn't swallow the chicken without partially choking. This was on a game day as well, where I know the wings should be being made fresh due to large demand. Very unfortunate experience. read more

Always good wings and burgers; but during Covid, we ordered their hand breaded fried chicken fingers with lemon pepper and garlic seasoning. We have since gone back about a dozen times for these finger read more

Very bad service . Food was cold ,didn't even get ONE refill, or checked on. employees were rude and also got The wrong to-go order .

I've been here twice for lunch meetings, as my job is located right down the street. Its a fun place to meet as its very casual, the staff is super pleasant, and food always tastes great. This time, I had the veggy pizza and a side of garlic bread. I didn't ask for extra sauce for the garlic bread like I should have, but it only comes with a small cup of marina, FYI. The pizza had a ton of toppings and was cooked perfectly. Our waitress gave us free to-go cups of soda which I thought was a nice touch and also gave us promotional cards towards future visits. On a previous visit, I had tried the chicken buffalo pizza--which I thought was excellent, and the chicken quesadilla which I found to be really flavorable and a pretty big portion. I would definitely recommend this place for lunch, though just note that it DOES get pretty crowded! read more

My first time here. Will come back? Yes! Was the food awesome? Yes! Was the service great? No! But the food was good. I got the buffalo chicken sub and my husband got chipotle wings. My tequila sunrise was water down. The WiFi sucked. The water was cloudy. We had to get another cup of water. The bathroom was clean. The setup was nice. My waitress was okay but not the best. Started off rude but got better. At the end of our meal the waitress messed up our checks, but we understand she is new. read more

We picked up an order of chicken nacho deluxe and there was a piece of plastic inside our food. One of us almost ate it because it blended in with the food.

Can not believe this is how the restaurant is run. read more

Im going to just go ahead and give it five stars. I moved to Columbus 10 years ago, and discovered this place around that time. I think for a sports bar, it does the job well. They have TV's, nice dim lighting for watching the games, and an atmosphere that supports it. I havent ran into too many issues in terms of food or service, most people have been really friendly. I even attended the soft opening of the Hilliard location, and had a blast being apart of it. My overall feeling is the the menu is fair priced and the food aligns with it. Just the other day I paid for myself and another person, and for around $30 we got: iced tea, tall cider, two orders of 5x wings, ranch, a pepperoni pizza, cheese quesadilla, and a Italian sub. Ive been to multiple locations through Columbus, they were all clean, presentable, and friendly. P.S. I put a quarter in the Reese's Pieces machine on Henderson and got a nice handful of them. It may have been a fluke, or no one has noticed yet. So dont forget to bring a quarter and grab some on the way out. read more

I am glad that this Roosters off Henderson Road had finally taken down its corny, borderline sexist signs that use to litter the walls. Jokes like "you can take anything home, but the staff" always made me feel awkward while walking in alone to fritter an hour away on a blue Sunday, as if I had shuffle in to a strip club. I am not a prude by any means ( ask the staff at Kahoots) but I'd rather not be framed as an oogler when all I want is some greasy grub to nurse a post-game hangover. So I thank the management for that. About the above: Roosters had alway tried to be a mild version of Hooters. Abandoning that, it's a decent wings-sports chain that bills itself as a causal joint. To me it is more of a smaller BW3s, without TVs at the booths. This store though is surprisingly roomy, making efficient use of space, with a simi-octagon bar and plenty of booths behind. It also has a shaded patio nicely fended-in by black bars. It's about as nice as a patio can be with the view of huge strip malls around it. The food is good. Their wings play second fiddle to B-Dubs on taste, but I prefer them; they have more meat than the boney offerings of B-Dubs. I love their fried mushroom and other appetizers. You can't go wrong limiting your meals to that. For main course fare, the buggers here are not noteworthy. The parmesan chicken is often my choice, though in no way does it get close to anything near the top the city has to offer. It is hit or miss. At best it's a good bar meal, at worse the chicken is over cooked. The sauce, well, let's just call it eatable and not venture further. Basically what you expect from a sports bar like joint. They have a decent selection of beers on tap, and the service here is great--when the place isn't busy. At times though, the bar can have loud, ex-frat types who's woo-hoos can be annoying. Just get a booth and you'll be free of the sports bar atmosphere of the front. read more

Your wings are so delicious I would sacrifice my first born child, and I'm almost 30 so the price of said unborn child is rising by the minute. But just about everything else about you annoys the shit out of me. Your hostesses tell me to seat myself. Fine, at like 10 o'clock, but how about at 6 you seat all the screaming children that aren't paying/eating/drinking anything in one section, and myself in another. But I love your wings. Your tables are too often sticky. Spluge is, for one, not an approved cleaner, and surprisingly sticky when dried. Use something else. Anything. But I love your wings. Your beer could be cold. I don't need a frosty glass filled with 35 degree beer, but slightly chilled would be nice. I'll drink it. And order another. And drink that one. But I'd drink more, and TIP more if it was cold (sorry ladies) (oh yea, luckily I'm a dude...no waiters.) Yea, that's right, I just double parenthesized. But I love your wings. Bathrooms. Big, but that's it. Send someone in there occasionally to at least pretend clean it. But I love your wings. Mmmmm, you big, meaty, crispy delicious wings. I'm sorry I got mad, I really do love you. And I'll be back. When I feel like being adulterous, and venture away from you, I'm always disappointed...ALWAYS. You mean everything to me, I just wish I meant everything to you. See you Saturday, maybe you can do something to get that 4th star. And I love your wings. read more

Ok so in the interest of full disclosure: I love chicken wings and theirs are head a shoulders above any others I've had in Columbus and that weighs heavily on my choice to give it five stars. I've been going to Roosters forever and the wings just keep me coming back. They're huge and meaty. The sauces are great and they come out with a perfect amount of crunch from the breading without being overly breaded. Should you for some reason decide to go to Roosters for something other than wings they do have a large amount of sandwiches and other offerings that may not make any best in Columbus lists, but they're consistently good. The atmosphere is always laid back. During NFL games things can get spirited, but it's typically in a fun family friendly sort of way. The staff is usually very accommodating when it comes to finding you what ever game you want to watch, so long as the Buckeyes aren't playing. My only gripe with this was when they were the official viewing location for my Blue Jackets, I felt like they should have given preference to the Jackets games for sound over the handful of Buckeye games that overlapped, but they wouldn't. I don't really blame them given the disparity in popularity of the two, but if you're going advertise as the official viewing place for something you should probably have the sound on for it. Perhaps I was being greedy hoping to be able to enjoy the greatest wings in Columbus AND watch my Blue Jackets during OSU Football :) The staff is for the most part very friendly and quick. Every once in a while you'll get a waitress who clearly doesn't want to be there. The good thing is as someone who goes there as often as I do I can attest that the good ones stay and the bad ones don't. When things get really busy on game days you might not see your waitress for a while, but if you open your eyes and look at the jam packed restaurant around you, it usually is pretty evident why. Bottom Line: Best wings in the city and perfect laid back sports bar/restaurant. read more

Roosters (you don't need an MBA to realize what you're getting here) equals chicken wings. Roosters is a casual joint that falls into the 'sports bar' category with a couple separate casual dining areas. I love the wings at roosters because of the unlimited number of sauce combos and the meatiness of the boneless variety. The sauce choices range from teriyaki (for the kiddies) to super killer (not even if you paid me $50) and you can combine up to 3 different sauces as your taste buds see fit (personally I prefer the mild/garlic combo). I really like the boneless wings (known amongst coworkers as 'clown nuggets' as in 'chicken nuggets that you'd order at a fast food restaurant yelling into the speaker of a clowns mouth'). They are the best boneless wings I have ever had (much better than Bdubs). The regular wings (AKA 'John Wayne' wings, clearly the more manly older brother of the clown nuggets) seem larger than most wings I've seen at other establishments. Sometimes the wings seem to come out with a lot of sauce and other times with less sauce so if you have a particular preference let the waitress know how you'd like them (or to be on the safe side you can say "Extra sauce, on the side, sweetheart"). I've tried very little on the menu besides the wings but the fried mac and cheese wedges are good (with words like 'fried' and 'cheese' it would be difficult to go wrong) and the previously mentioned crew seems to enjoy the curly fries. The ambiance at Roosters could use some improvement. The tables seem oddly close together and it can be difficult to find a spot for a larger group. In addition, the bar stools don't have a back and are difficult to sit in whilst drinking several (several means more than 3 but less than 8 right?) beers. The service has been good and by that I mean my beer glass stays full and my order has always been right. Roosters can be a difficult place for a drunken happy hour because there are usually families and children around but if you are looking for a low key place for an adult beverage and the best wings (or clown nuggets) around give Roosters a try. read more

It is a very exciting place and everyone is so kind and the food is even better the fries and wings are just amazing
