I haven't been here in years, & stopped in for dinner last night. Did not know they added a "bowls," selection to their menu, & it definitely adds more to their main theme of sandwiches with meat haha I had their garlic jalopeno burger. Meat had a lot of flavor, & the peppers were pretty spicy. The fries were good as well My friend had the chicken bowl, & it was deliciousssss. Next time that's what I'll be getting. So much flavor, & a good option if you're trying be healthy. So props to them for adding that to the menu. The service was good, our waitress was nice. Ambiance is that of a sports bar. TV's with games on, & can get loud haha read more

Good Texas BBQ (and other things) in a welcoming, fun environment. Excellent service in a pub-style atmosphere. North of Ft. Worth along Route 287, Decatur is a nice town to visit. Rooster's is downtown on the Main Street; easy to find right across from the county courthouse. I visited on a Tuesday afternoon and it was a bit busy but was instantly greeted, seated myself at the bar, and served a (very) cold drink immediately. I had the 2-meat plate with fries. Hot fresh fries; good smoked sausage and sliced brisket. I did as I like to do: took my time eating, visiting with the staff and local folks. I enjoyed every minute and every bite. I parked my 18-wheeler a mile away and walked into town; hadn't walked three blocks back and a local fellow stopped and says, "Can I give you a ride? It's awful hot." My kinda place. read more

Very cool BBQ joint right across the street from the City Hall in Decatur. It's an old building with tons of decorations inside. There are two floors and a back patio. They also have three pool tables and TVs. The menu is extensive and the prices reasonable for BBQ. Seems like a favorite of the locals. I though they would be playing C&W, but they had 60's and 70's music on. The squeeze and I split a two meat plate with brisket and sausage and two sides, cowboy cole slaw and Rooster Tails (Deep fried onion petals). The brisket was moist and very tender, with a slight smokiness. The sausage was deeply smoked, sliced in half and charred a bit on the flattop. The slaw and Rooster Tails were really good. A nice slightly spicy dip was served with the onions. Good BBQ sauce for the brisket, and they also had a wall of pain with some choice hot sauces on it. I didn't partake, since I have a flight to catch in the morning. They brought a second plate for no charge. The squeeze had a canned IPA and I had a Shiner Bock draft for libations. We really enjoyed the meal. Morgan was an excellent server and didn't try to shoo us out even though more customers were coming in. I wish I lived around here so I could try the other items on the menu. read more

It's a good place to eat food, it's a good place drink drinks and it's a good place to do both.

If I had one complaint...it's always cold in here! Freezing! 2nd complaint. They have semi outside seating in the back but always force people upstairs. Gorgeous day and we wanted to be outside! That said the food is always delicious. Started off with Fried Pickles. Lightly breaded and cooked to pure perfection with a slight crispy texture. Yummy. The double cheeseburger is the best in Texas..I'll keep saying it..or in their case screaming it from the roof tops (or upstairs since it's the only place they will seat us!) read more

Decent salad and cheap beer. Two dollar draft since it was the USA's quarterfinal FIFA World Cup match (they lost). The southern comfort salad was surprisingly more flavorful than I thought it would be but the banana pudding dessert fell a little flat though. Good service. HUGE TV upstairs though. read more

Rooster's Roadhouse - Huge TV upstairs - Barbeque Near Me - Decatur, Texas

Late weekday lunch with sister. Wanted something light and this convenient location was the choice. Loved the peanuts to snack on while waiting. Upstairs and downstairs were busy, but we were greeted and seated promptly upstairs. Bartender that day was our server. Ordered near beers and an order of the pulled pork nachos to share. Near beers delivered with cold mugs each time. Nachos took no time to be delivered. HUGE order! But boy were they delicious. We ended up with leftovers, which were actually able to be reheated. Had to ask for extra jalapenos, which took a minute. Check out was quick and service from everyone (we had a food runner and someone else checked on our drinks as well) was very friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. read more

I asked for lean brisket and got nothing but fat brisket. Love the atmosphere but not really bbq. Sausage taste like store bought from Walmart read more

Went to Roosters today. Not our normal experience. We had company from out of town so there were 6 of us. One of my friends is handicapped and so wasn't able to go up stairs to a table that could accommodate 6 people. We sat at two different tables. My wife told our friends from California how great the hamburgers are so they ordered burgers. All 5 burgers were way over salted. They told us that it was premixed. Kind of ruined the experience for us. My wife ended up giving me her burger and our guest got through half and just ended up taking it home. The manager came by and told us they were salting the burger by mistake so she told them not to. Would have been nice to offer making it right. I still like this place but will just send it back next time. read more

Quick drive to the little sleepy town of Decatur (about a 30 minute drive from Fort Worth) you will find this fun dive bar and grill. The immediate aroma of BBQ when you walk in tells you this is good stuff. The plates are reasonably priced, good portions, and plenty of options to choose from like chicken fried steak, salads galore, and hand held classics along with the BBQ. The service was a bit slow but after talking to our waitress we realized she was the only one working the floor. Either way they were super nice, and kudos to her- she managed all the tables without missing a beat! This place has a second floor. read more

Roosters Roadhouse was a good find driving thru Decatur on a Thursday night. Think Texas Roadhouse vibe but way more authentic than a chain can do. Blues and funky music. Server awesome with great suggestions. They have extensive BBQ and burger selections, and prepare their meats onsite. We chose the Cheddar Bacon Jalapeño burger and Chicken Bacon Quesadilla. At server suggestion chose the Rooster Tail onion rings vs standard homemade chips. Food was very good, and the Rooster Tails perfectly prepared (done but not too dry). Comes with its own dipping sauce. Small pet peeve had a beer and it came out in the can with no offer of a glass. That said, overall fun place, solid food, service and experience. read more

We were near on a business trip. Found them on Google maps. This is a nice restaurant in what appears to be the old town square. We ordered the special which was catfish. The fish was fantastic and the waitress was very nice. The location was very clean. They would get a 5 star if they work on those hush puppies a little... They are just a bit big... maybe make three out of the same amount of bread as two are now. I would certainly visit here again and recommend them. read more

This is a fun place for a casual meal. We were driving through Decatur on the way to Amarillo and dropped by for lunch. The restaurant itself is unique, with two floors that can seat a lot of folks. The service was excellent and they had an interesting menu selection. We both had barbecue plates with brisket and sausage. My wife's side order was black beans and rice - tasty. I had the Rooster Tails which is an interesting twist on Onion Rings. The brisket was very lean and a little on the dry side. If I came back, I'd order it moist. If you're in the vicinity, give it a try. read more

We always visit, and I mean ALWAYS, Sweetipie's but decided to give Rooster's one good try. We were not disappointed! We were seated immediately and our orders were taken to the kitchen promptly. The food took less than half an hour to receive despite the busyness of Friday lunch rush. We started off with a half-order of bacon cheese fries which were soooo good! They are served with ranch. I ordered a patty melt since it was starred on the menu as a favorite. It was amazing, the sweet caramelization of cooked onion topped a cheeseburger and had a delicious sauce. I could only finish half the sandwich, it's huge. My kiddo had the Texas sliders (kid's meal comes with 2 sliders and the adult slider meal comes with 3). Hubby ordered a three meat plate, which I thought was just okay. The sausage piece I sampled from his plate was kind of burned and tasted like it had been reheated. I'm picky about smoked meat though, so I don't order unless I see it being smoked in front of me (ie Hard Eight) out of fear of it being old and dry. I do have a few cons to point out, but I didn't deduct stars since overall it was an enjoyable visit. Our server didn't keep our drinks full, she did walk over after we had our food to ask if we needed anything though. Also, she didn't offer to-go boxes even when she noticed how much food we had leftover. There is a bar so if you are looking for a Date Night idea, perhaps Rooster's would be a spot to try in the evening hours. read more

Good food with burgers and barbecue sandwiches dominating. The house made chips are really good also. Top them off with a cold beer (or cocktail if you prefer). It looks tiny when you walk in, with just the bar and a few tables downstairs, but it opens up on the second floor with another bar, several tables and several TV's with sports running. This has been my favorite watering hole after a round of golf. read more

The ambiance was fun with all the interesting signs on the walls and the great music. The food was even better. We had the King Brisket Burger that was big enough for two and it came with a side. Next, we had the churros and ice cream with drizzles of chocolate and caramel sauces. The churros were freshly made and amazing. The service was as good as the food. Our waitress was helpful and friendly. We'll definitely be back. read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this Roosters yet. Only been here a dozen times. Sometimes while at work and several times 15 mile drive just for their food. Love this place. Great ambience inside with the historic building on the downtown square. But in all honesty, it's the food that brings me back every time. Although I've never had bad service and the wait staff is awesome! Today I had the single Bubba with mushrooms and substituted the fries for rooster tails. They have one of the best combinations of burger patties and buns. So much flavor packed into that handmade burger patty. A perfect combination. Let's talk about the rooster tails though. If you like onion rings then you're in for a surprise. These are the best tasting onion rings I've been had. Period!!! Then their dipping sauce takes it to a whole other level. A longtime faithful customer! read more

Food was average, not that great and not bad either. There was two large parties that took up the majority of the upstairs at least during the time we came in there wasn't much of a wait. Waitress, IDK, telling us that this her second day working. That's cool, but not really hungry for good tips. Not checking to see if my family needed drinks or anything. read more

One of the best restaurants in Wise County. One of the best bars in Wise County! The Redneck Sushi is perfect for shared appetizers with your drinks! Brisket, rolled in tortilla shells, with a horseradish type dressing, is AWESOME! Sounds weird, but it's a total local favorite... it will be yours too! You can eat upstairs or downstairs, and sit at both bars! You can get a bucket of peanuts, but come on... lets throw the shells in the bucket! Yes, you are allowed to throw 'em on the floor, but who wants to slip on that stuff? The wait staff is usually pretty quick. Hint: the busier they are, the faster the wait staff goes! If you are the only one in there, you might have to wait! 5 STARS read more

We stopped here while passing through and were really happy with this find! I wish we had one closer to home. Loved the decor and vibe, although we had carry out because we had our dogs with us. The brisket burger was delicious - the burger was seasoned so well and the added slices of brisket put it over the top! The Texas Hot Chicken sandwich was amazing. The chicken was juicy and crispy at the same time, it was just the right hot with the addition of some sweet pickles (I don't usually like sweet, but this was so good) and the toppings and Texas toast... just try it! Substituted the Rooster Tails for one of our meals and they were fantastic. Again, we had carry out, but everyone was friendly and our order came out when promised. There's a bar on both floors and a pool room with 3 tables on the first floor in the back. I'd be here several times a week if I lived here! read more

No menus. Bring your QR reader or you're out of luck. There was one server who helped their customers by telling them what appetizers they had and how good their bbq is...that was not our server! Our server acted like we were bothering her. It took forever to get her to come back and take our order. I didn't know what they had so I just ordered a cheeseburger with mustard. The mustard was SLATHERED on both buns. My hands were stained! My son, for the first time ever, did NOT eat all of his BBQ. We will never be back. read more

Been here several times. Always delicious and staff friendly. 5 star for sure. food is fresh.

I happened upon this place during a road trip as I was burnt out of fast food and wanted to try something unique and local, and what a pleasant surprise this was! A total gem! * Great & Friendly Service! * Great Environment & Atmosphere! * Delicious High Quality Food! Highly recommend the Redneck Sushi if you want BBQ brisket with a twist, it's complimented well with a horse radish based sauce that is great! All Beef is lean, tender and packed with flavor. Their menu is fairly large. If you have a large appetite try your hand at the Triple Decker King Brisket! If you're in the road and looking to get out of typical fast food and want to experience a local dive. This is definitely one for the books! read more

Always enjoyed going to Roosters. My chicken bowl was very filling. They had just the right amount of chicken, rice, and corn. If I would've thought about it, I would've asked to add black beans! Hubby had the cheese buffalo burger with french fries. The burger had mushrooms, bacon, cheese, and a fried egg! The french fries were good and crispy. We enjoy going here whenever we are passing through Decatur. 5 stars! read more

On a road trip to Colorado made a detour to Decatur to try Roosters Roadhouse other than being located in a town square where there is minimal parking close by, the atmosphere and food was pretty good. Decor was kinda cool. We were sat upstairs so there's seating upstairs & down. The menu is accessed by a QR Code but they do have a paper menu you can look at if the code doesn't work. So the clan (my family) enjoyed their meals they chose my husband wasn't a fan of the sausage he had. They serve Coca-Cola beverages but have alcohol we just didn't get any this trip. read more

Overall a solid place to eat, great staff, good atmosphere. I'd sit upstairs if you want to hangout with the family though!

We had redneck sushi, burgers, and a salad. Burgers were good but not a fan of the salad or redneck sushi. Service was alright. You get roasted peanuts while you wait. read more

Came here twice while in the area for a wedding. The Pit Sandwich is the bomb and the home made potato chips were really nice as well. The service was friendly and there are a lot of interesting trashy decorations inside the restaurant which gave it a lot of characters. If a restaurant gave me the "I wish we had this restaurant back home", it definitely deserves a 5 star rating. read more

Parking was a challenge but well worth the walk around the block. It is a Roadhouse so a lot of character in the decor. Looks to have a full and active bar for drinks. Wait staff was friendly and helpful. We had the Patty Melt and homemade tater chips. They set a new standard for Patty Melt and all will be judged by it henceforth!! It was great! The chips were fresh and crispy and the side of okra was the best. We will try the Roosters in Denton and see if it is as good. read more

The Rooster Tails were delicious; they were served with a mildly spicy sauce. It's an appetizer of deep-fried onion slices. My plate was a double-meat barbecue plate.

Visiting with some good friends near Paradise, TX that recommended Rooster's Roadhouse for dinner - good sign, the place was packed so it has to be good! We were a party of four and had a brief wait of about 20min before getting a table. Being in Texas, I ordered and enjoyed a double patty hamburger (comes with a side of homemade chips). The burger was served hot off the grill, literally - one of the best home style burgers I've ever eaten. read more
