This is one of the worst roosters in Columbus, Ohio. We ordered wings from this restaurant and the wings on the drumsticks, the meat by the bone was bloody. I complain to the manager and she said that she would credit us for the mistake, that they had a new chef and that the new chef probably did not cook the drumsticks as long as the flappers. When I return to the restaurant she attempted to credit me for the number of drumsticks out of the 30 wings that we had ordered. She was only going to credit us for 10 drumsticks out of a total of 30 wings because she said that only the drumsticks were bloody. If they can't make the order right completely, credit the complete order not just attempt to credit for drumsticks when the order was not right to begin with. The women working at this restaurant are incompetent and make excuses and alibis of why the food is not right. Stay away from this restaurant! Also we found a lettuce core in our salad! Run away! read more

Roosters - American Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

See all

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

Wings were dry and not as ordered...also ordered this sad rendition of cheese fries. At least I was able to get these up to snuff for an extra charge by ordering a side of cheese... read more

Roosters - American Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Roosters....ROOSTERS...I love you. I don't think I've ever eaten a wing so delicious. Carolina Gold is my sauce of choice, and it is...to me...the tastiest wing ever. I'm not a spicy wing type o' gal, so I veer toward teriyaki, garlic, etc. Roosters has a very new and a very soft spot in my heart. It is what wing dreams are made of. I live next door to a BW3s but will drive the extra distance for these. If you are a wing fan, please just check it out. I can't say anything about their burgers, etc, but the wings are top notch. read more

this is probs the worst service i've ever had. the waiting time for everything is so long. the staff stares at you when you haven't been helped and avoid you like your a sickness. this is probably one of the worst roosters in ohio. would not recommend read more

I feel bad giving this place one star, but I have to do it. I've had myself quite a few chicken wings in my day, and the wings at Roosters were by far the worst I have ever had. DISGUSTING. They were bone dry, fried til there was no juice left, and they were completely devoid of any sauce. Simply grotesque. Their happy hour is quite good. Standard watered down beer on tap but at a good price. $2.25 for a 22oz. Do yourself a favor and don't get food. If you are looking for a decent place to watch a game, then Roosters might be worth a look. Although if you're in the area I'd go over to Kenny and Henderson and check out Brewskys. read more

The food here is just ok, you really get what you pay for. Had a Long Island this visit and boy was it watered down. I would not recommend trying this on your visit. read more

I like to visit this location for lunch. Even though they are normally busy you can usually find a decent table. The staff is always nice and speedy. Food usually is hot and juicy. Never really had an issue with it. I will continue to visit This location. read more

A casual wings/bar food eatery. The wait staff (all female) are in shorts all year around (although nothing as sleazy was Hooter's). The food? Standard bar stuff. Not bad, but not great either. They do offer grilled chicken as an option to the deep fried wings, which is nice. read more

Fun place to catch the game or hang with friends. Super chill and laid back. Reasonable prices and food is good too. Great beer selection and a lot of great sharing options. read more

Roosters varies by location. This one is serviceable enough, but nothing special. It was a good move to add the outdoor seating last summer. I dropped in for a quick lunch and to catch a little of the NFL games. The service was better than normal on this day. The staff seemed to actually enjoy being there. Not always the case. The wings have always been better (bigger) than BW3, go for the boneless. Caution! They charge for everything including condiments. If you ask for an extra cup sauce, of ranch or salsa expect a charge. Also the selection of beer on tap is pedestrian. read more

The wings here are amazing. They are big, juicy, full of sauce, and packed with flavor. The servers are all attractive and fun to talk to. Roosters is a fun, casual joint. (Tip: Mix the Hot Donkey Sauce with the BBQ) read more

Never Again! The place is run by millennials who can't take direction. It's obvious the cooks don't understand any part of "Crispy, well done"! My wife actually thought that the wings were boiled, as they were so mushy and undercooked. What a waste of $22. The sad part is that it's not the first time Roosters has screwed up. It's B-Dubs or Bon Chon from now on! read more

Fairly inexpensive meals. Good place to go if you are looking for wings. I usually get their boneless drums - seems to be a little more meat and less hassle. Their sauce on their wings is NEVER predictable. Love their red, bacon and blue salad! Their staff ... always been their downfall in my opinion. Let's just say they seem to be more in tune with their fellow wait staff than paying attention to their customers. read more

Very bad experience. Put me on hold for 5mins then hanged up my phone before I put any order. I went to the restaurant to make a order, and no apologies, rude serving attitude, leaked sauce everywhere in the carry out food bag. WILL NOT VISIT AGAIN So I tried this fking place two weeks later(what can I say, I am a idiot ), this time they put my first phone call on hold for 12mins. I called again, this time they putted me on hold even without my permission. What can I say? I waited 20 to make a order, I didn't get it. read more

I like their chicken wings! I usually get traditional wings on Carolina gold with rooster chips. I've tried their chicken fingers which are also good. Rooster chips can be very inconsistent. Sometimes they're very good and crispy, but sometimes they're too soft. The service is good too. They are nice and friendly. I would definitely visit again. read more

The boneless wings were huge, something I was not expecting. I ordered 20 because I was starving but ended up eating around 9. I ordered 2 sauces. Both were flavorful and had a kick (just how I like my woman!) The down side was the wait staff..... A group of us went for lunch on a not crowded Sunday hoping to get out of there in under an hour....1 hour and 47 min later we walked out. Pretty disappointed. We did see the waitress for a solid 40 min, 2 of the girls ran out of water in the first 10 min. Kinda ridiculous. The place also has plenty of TV to watch football, lacrosse or DSW, up to you. read more

The feeling when you place an order at 6:51 that's promised at 7:51 but they tell you they're running 15 minutes behind so you call at 8:51 and they hang up on you so you call back and sit on hold for 6 1/2 minutes for your call to be "answered in the order it was received" but your beau calls and gets through IMMEDIATELY so you know they were deliberately refusing to answer. read more

Great atmosphere and the servers are always courteous and prompt! The food is always great! Make this your Rooster's stop! read more

Roosters - Chargrilled Barbecue Sandwich - American Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Roosters is absolutely amazing except the wait at night even though is isn't that long they don't really have seating areas. But besides the seating problem Roosters is Great. Also I would recommend come to roosters before dark because high schoolers games end at dark and it gets PACKED!!! read more

I visit this Roosters location semi-regularly; latest was just the other day. So my notes are fresh in mind. Here they are: Plus: Food and drink are CHEAP here. This, and the quality of the fried chicken tenders and certain other items (salads, for example) are why I come to Roosters. Can't say it has really changed over time either; very consistent. And when the mood strikes, get the mini corn-dogs. Minus: The staff doesn't seem to communicate well, and so you may get the wrong item or wait an unusually long time for food that may be sitting in the window. Also, I don't think they have normal french fries, only curly fries or potato wedges. And the curly fries are never ever crispy. Booooo. The one really contentious issue: The wings. You'll either love em, or hate em. They're breaded. The sauces below the standard hot are pretty meh. And there's the issue of doneness. When I last visited they even had a sign at the front host table regarding getting wings 'well done'. People, chicken is either done or it's not. And I've had wings there which were not, so I no longer order them. So 'your mileage may vary', depending on how you like your wings. Atmosphere: At dinner, the place will be very full and very noisy. 3 stars for cheap eats and beer (beer: modest draft selection, some crafts, nothing too crazy). That's what Roosters is, no more, no less. read more

Their onion feathers are amazing! My boyfriend and I love eating and hanging out here :) He always gets their wings plain with donkey sauce on the side and they're superb! A++ read more

Roosters - $1.95 Miller Lights during happy hour!! - American Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Worst staff I have ever experienced , Me and my two Kids where treated horrible from the start and the manger Taylor could have cared less! I will never ever in my life go to this location, I don't think they take to kind to certain people. HORRIBLE! read more

So decided to stop in for my boyfriends birthday and received the worst service from eylise g. At the bar - will not be back.

We took a chance and the busy wait is a good sign. Very interesting decor...a bunch of sign with funny saying pass the time. Menu is large and kind all over the place. But because of namesake Rooster...chicken was the preferred item on the menu. The food took a little time to get to us....and it all arrived at once...i gurs appetizers are side dishes. I got the fried cheken sandwich and had the buffalo sauce added. It was really good. Same with the Mac and cheese bite. Try to get the. spicy ranch sauce. Sandwiches are by themself. Yku have order fries, tots, etc. Its nice if you dont want to go to national chains..... read more

Roosters is what it's name says - fun, casual, dining joint. It is a place where you drop in anytime with friends and family. I really like their Chicken Wings. I haven't had Chicken wings as good as theirs anywhere else. Also the prices are so reasonable that I tend to get greedy about food every time I enter Roosters :-) read more

I've always loved Roosters because the food (American, fried foods, burgers, wings, pizza) is amazingly affordable. They are my go to spot for quick and delicious take out. Everything I've had has been good, and when it doesn't meet expectations, it was quickly fixed by a replacement being offered. I have had a bad experience or two, but if you speak up to a manager, it is quickly compensated with credits to your check and even a return gift certificate if needed. They have a dedicated fan who won't stop going for just one bad experience out of 100! read more

Their happy hour is priced alright, 2.75 22 oz domestic drafts. Too bad the beer selection is below sub par. It's a sports bar/wing joint. I shouldn't expect them to have craft beer. They have a house beer, "Roosters Red". The server said it was similar to Killian's. I should have taken her word for it, I don't care for Killian's. The place seems like a fine place to watch NFL games, so if I don't feel like going to the Chicago Bears backer bar in the area maybe I'll go again. read more

This place sucks my wings came out with pretty much no sauce in them, they were dry and the place was very very dirty. I will never eat at that location again. read more

Rooster has the BEST wings in the country! The sauces are fantastic. The size of the wings are like the size of chicken you'd get at KFC. Great service! I Highly Recommend Roosters! read more

I have placed many carry out orders, as I work down the street. They can't get anything right the last 5 orders were wrong. They keep giving me a credit but at this point I just won't go back. I love their food, I used to work at this location, but it has just gone downhill. read more

This place is great with prices on food staff is friendly nice great service did not wait long at all the grilled chicken strips were great the suace honey mustard delicious with a half ceaser salad definitely will go back read more

Best wings in town, hands down! You have to try the dumpster wedges. Also they definitely have the best boneless wings in town!!!

I love their boneless BBQ deep friend chicken breasts and dumpster fries. The chicken breasts are large and the BBQ sauce is sweet and tangy. The chicken wings at Roosters are really good as well, same as the chicken breasts, large and tasty. Compared to other wing joints in town I think you get the most for what you pay for at Roosters. Good happy hour prices, including half off appetizers, usually makes this place a quick stop for after work drinks/dinner for my friends and I. As for the different locations around Columbus, I have only ever been to two, this one and the one on Olentangy, but I am sure you will get the same results at all of the others. read more

Traditional wings are great! I like getting the garlic and medium sauces on the side so I can mix them and then dip the wings. It's not necessarily the healthiest option haha, but it's very good! If you're trying to eat healthier, take a look at the grilled chicken or salad options! read more

Though the wait always seems to be 15-30 minutes on a friday night it is worth it. I get a huge "side" salad, and the garlic wings, boneless. One of my favorite places to get wings. read more

I love Roosters chicken wings. They are always juice and tasty. Much bigger wings then BW3. I never had it "bone dry". Don't expect too much on the service, after all it is a sport bar. Sometime it can be a loooong wait and wings can be not as hot. I recommend not to order too many wings at once, even you can eat 30 wings. Order 15 then before you almost finish order the other 15. That way you will have hot & Fresh wings. read more

We asked for a booth and was seated at a table. When I reminded her what we asked for she told me that the one side that was against a high wall made it a booth. I looked at her like "really?" Anyhow, We got the buffalo shrimp with medium sauce, potato skins and wings; I got the traditional but I tried my man's boneless and they were much better. Restaurants to me do not thoroughly cook traditional wings and you cannot enjoy them. Although I did ask for them to cook them crispy they were still under cooked. The sweet Thai chili sauce was good though. Have to say this if anyone remembers the restaurant Spats they made the best potato skins ever and no restaurant has come close to theirs. I gave 3 stars because it is extremely noisey in there so unless that's the environment you like it wasn't for me. read more

They make some tasty grub and the rooster chips are great. Wings and pizzas are usually good.
