Best burgers around! Their menu prices are also great. If you are getting lunch here, you have to order before 11:30 or else it will take a while for your order. But, that just means business is good and that is a reflection of their fantastic food. I love the outdoors seating area when the windows are open read more

Rooster's Restaurant - Hamburger - American Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

Everything about this place was great! The food was delicious - they even bake their own buns fresh every day, and make all sauces in house. Their butter fries are tossed in a butter sauce with garlic and shallots, and are amazing. And every single person who works here was super friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. We would highly recommend eating at this gem anytime you're in Jackson. The whole area is fun to walk around and shop at too. read more

This place is pretty great. It's in a really nice area with lots of shops and things to do, and it has great tasting food (a lot of chicken). It is a bit pricey if you're getting salad, but it's good. read more

Good food, great location, reasonable prices. Roosters has a lot of good options whether you're in the mood for a burger, a salad, or some good down home cooking. They have good portions so you'll get your money's worth. I enjoyed the red beans and rice. I liked the touch of jalapeños. The roll was so super soft. House salad was good too. Good service.

I have been multiple times, and the food is always delicious! My favorite thing to order is the hamburger steak with mashed potatoes and green beans. The portions are also large, so it's a great bang for your buck! read more

Food was amazing! Service was great. It was very obvious they all cared if the food was good and we were taken care of!

Horrible customer service. The lady with dreads just stands behind the counter looking lost. Maybe it's her first day, more likely she's lazy and having a bad day. I stood in line for 10 minutes to be rudely greeted and during that time I saw them get 3 orders wrong. Avoid this place. read more

Some of the best fried chicken I've ever had! Not greasy at all, more like a baked chicken. Delicious creole tomato cream sauce, crazy good rolls, Mac & cheese. Chicken tenders are a full meal, much larger than their name implies. Friendly staff and quick service. We will be back! read more

The manager actually cares about you being there. The employees are friendly - and the food is consistent. My go to dish are the red beans and rice with a side salad. Always take some home with me. I have had the stupid burger, chicken cutlets, fried steak and other items from the menu and it has always satisfied. read more

I went to Rooster's today after not visiting for some time. Imagine my disappointment to find that the food was not good. My friend had a burger. I had the hamburger steak. Both meat patties seemed to have been sitting in a steam tray. Each had no color other than gray and were tasteless. Neither of the patties had seen a grill much less the charring I was used to. The gravy on the hamburger steak tasted stale and over seasoned. The curly fries were stems and pieces and big blobs of cold potatoes. Needless to say we left most of the food on the table and will not be back. Best thing I can say is that the restaurant seemed clean and the staff were friendly. I hate that this once dependable burger spot has fallen into such a poor state. Maybe it was a one of, bad day. I'll be waiting for someone to tell things are better. read more

First time in- the cashier who took our order helped us with the menu. "We have no freezer or microwave. Everything is fresh- our bread was baked this morning, our burgers were patted out--" Having read the Yelp reviews, I ordered the chicken tenders with red beans & rice, and onion rings, with a dinner roll. Seriously, when it arrived, it could've been lunch for two! Three large chicken 'tenders' (I would call them breast cutlets), hot and crisp. A bit salty for me, but no matter- tender and juicy. They must marinate and tenderize them. I don't usually prefer white meat as it's often dry. Not the case here! Onion rings were good, Thin, battered, rings. The red beans and rice... meh... ok, but lacking something, perhaps the smokiness of sausage or ham? But maybe they are keeping it vegetarian (I didn't ask.) I liked that the jalapeno slices were right on top so I could easily remove them. My companion had the fried chicken sandwich with curly fries. Enjoyed every bite. Fries were piping hot. The bread was yummy like a fluffy cloud! I had overlooked the Mushroom Swiss Burger on the menu, so I'll have to return to try that. The dining room was spacious and clean, with an open air porch-room on the perimeter. There was plenty of staff, serving and bussing as well as in the kitchen, and they seemed to like working there and being together (unlike some places where the employees look like they'd rather be anywhere else!) Prices were reasonable for the large portions. read more

Roosters is always the best around Jackson. Fast service, easy seating, and delicious food. Sit by the windows the people watch fondren. We ordered the burger and fried chicken salad. Something about this fried chicken is just special. It's so soft and flavorful. And it's huge. Covers almost the whole salad, southern style. The sweet tea was great as well. Love roosters! read more

Food is always so good and the staff couldn't be friendlier. Hands down the best fries in Jackson.

My second review... there is not a better place to get chicken tenders. Perfect, every single time!! Get the cheese grits, dip the tenders in their comeback sauce, and get some chocolate chip cookies! Love this place! read more

picked up lunch during a stay at a local hospital. keeping that in mind, the food was still warm and tasty. we both had burgers that were cooked to perfection and served on the freshest bun. the order was exactly as ordered with no missing request. we phoned in the order and it was ready just when promised. again, we didn't eat in but the place is nice enough, conveniently located and clean. great lunch option! read more

On a quest for decent food in this town. Hard to find great food but I'd say roosters has someone in the kitchen who cares about food. My chicken fried streak was tasty but it did need some salt and they forgot to bring my onion rings. All in all I'll repeat this spot. read more

I never order chicken tenders from anywhere, but I will here. I've never had such gigantic tenders. They were juicy, crispy, and hot (temp). Something I'll crave for sure. You get two sides with the 3 piece meal and it's a steal. Basically 2 meals for me. The onion rings were perfectly crunchy while the coleslaw was a little tangy which cut the richness of the mac and cheese. Fries were good, but I recommend the other 3 sides more. Service was fast and staff was kind. I could eat tenders like these everyday! read more

My husband and I are new to the area and love visiting local restaurants. We were welcomed by the owners wife who was beyond welcoming and told us all about the menu! No refrigerators, no microwaves and everything is made fresh daily. It is phenomenal!, read more

The food was not seasoned at all. The service was just barely ok. The atmosphere was nice sitting in the open window. I would definitely not go back. read more

Great food!...The side salad was delicious, and the bacon cheeseburger was flavorful. I should have chosen the jalapeño cheese bun instead of the white bun. The prices were reasonable and not too expensive, including the 4% credit card transaction fee. I would consider returning again. The menu is simple and mostly a la carte, but sometimes less is more! read more

Not the same as the fondren location. Hot chicken sliders had no hot seasoning whatsoever and my order was incomplete. Very underwhelming visit read more

Man, I must admit this was some of the best food I've had since I have moved to Mississippi. My wife got the Stoopid Burger, and I got this Chicken strip club sliders plate. Both were great. You could actually taste the burger and chicken. I love Mississippi more than anywhere on the planet, but down in Simpson County where we live there are maybe 2-3 places that are good to eat. They are unfortunately at least 20-30 mins from my house. Rooster is in a nice safe modern area of Jackson that was really nice to see. But Apple Maps took us through the hood heading back to work. It was amazing to me to see the destruction of a community by greedy politicians that only fill their fat pockets and do nothing for their people they represent. Worst road I have ever driven on besides in the oil fields in OK and ND. I literally rolled through that area with my G19x on my lap with hand resting on the grip while sketchy crackheads walked up to my car at the lights telling me to give them this or that. Sorry Rooster's. I got sidetracked. Eat here, food is awesome. Lol read more

The young lady had a very bad attitude and only gave me one of my orders I had to go back and get the other one. the chicken was so salty and burnt on one side I couldn't eat it. The string beans was just poured out of the can and heated. ordered a fried Ceasar salad and they gave me ranch dressing. No More Roosters for me. read more

Never disappoints!!! Even when it's to go. Yes I was missing a couple of things, but it was still so good. I'm got the a stupid Burger this time! Cooked to perfection! read more

If you have never been to Roosters and/ or Basil's in The Fondren District of Jackson, MS, then you do not know what you are missing. These family owned restaurants are both unique and the food is to die for. They are located in opposite ends of a the coolest building. My husband and I go ALL the time and as often as possible. My husband always goes for Roosters and his poison is the HUGE Country Fried Steak plate with mashed potatoes and Mac & Cheese. This time he got a salad for me, because he didn't know I was getting my own salad across the Hall at Basil's along with my favorite Panini. I always get the Turkey and cream cheese panini and have to them to add olive salad... OMG it's amazing. Roosters' also sales the best cheese burger in town with a jalapeño bun of course. You should for sure go visit, you won't be sorry. read more

I ordered Rooster in Flowood for lunch/dinner today and was very disappointed. The food itself is great.. what I got of it anyways. I waited 30 minutes for my food and didn't get several items in the order. The girl who I spoke to about the time and missing items could have cared less. I waited another 10 minutes for the remaining items, which I still did not get before I finally just had to leave to get back to work. I hate that this experience was so bad because I love their food. I'm not usually one to complain, but when you have to pay extra for certain things and then don't get them... that's not cool. :( read more

We were traveling and found this place on Yelp and thought we'd give it a try. When you walk in you order from a counter and then your food is brought to your table. The place was neat and clean. There was an indoor area with glass walls that lead to a place with seats that were open to the outside by way of garage doors that opened. All the staff were friendly and helpful. I got the hamburger steak with gravy, mashed potatoes, and green beans and was well satisfied with the quality and quantity of the food. I left stuffed. My wife had a chicken sandwich and curly fries; she said the sandwich was good but they were some of the best curly fries she had ever had. I was traveling when we started looking on yelp for a place to eat and I'm glad we went there. read more

Really good food, it was classy, the banana pudding was delicious!!100% recommend it!!!

Burger was alright, and the fries tasted like they were a day old. Could break a stick easier than those things. For the price of a meal it was disappointing read more

To start with, the service was bad. The waiter didn't know what came with the meals, she charged us the credit card charge even though we paid cash, and other people received the food before us that ordered after. My girlfriend ordered the grilled chicken cutlet and it was fried, while the fries were good the green beans tasted like they were from a can with no seasoning. My burger was mid and was $15 with fries and a drink even though I ordered a small one. We are just visiting but I'm sure there are better restaurants in the area. read more
