I called in a take out order: my wife had the Southwest Eggrolls and I had the chicken tenders and fries. I can't speak to the eggrolls, but she said they were "wonderful". So wonderful that they were done before I could get a picture! How much can you make tenders your own? Roosters Too! manages. The tenders are lightly breaded chicken breasts that are sliced and tenderized before being battered in the same type of batter you usually see on walleye shore lunches. This made the tenders "tender" as well as having a light batter which complimented the chicken rather than overwhelms it. The bartenders were super friendly, outgoing and polite, when I came in to pick up the order. Side note: we've been there for brunch several times and their breakfasts are outstanding as well. Roosters Too! has become a go-to for us for a casual meal out. read more

Rooster's Too! - What left of my chicken tenders and fries. The takeout box was stuffed full. - Bars Near Me - Rochester,, Minnesota

Service at this location is superior to the northern location. Food is terrific, similar to the northern store. Their chicken is excellent and since the bar and grill on 3rd closed years ago, they are the only ones left to my knowledge to cook and fry their chicken in the manner that they do, extra crispy. read more

Super good and not too expensive breakfast! We had the breakfast sandwich and it was fresh and delicious. The service was fast and friendly. Plenty of light inside. Clean bathrooms, too.!Our only (minor) discomfort was the noise from game shows on the TVs. read more

What a fabulous experience! Jax was the most polite, well spoken young man. Knowledgeable and friendly, he's a great addition to your team. The restaurant itself gives you a dive bar feel, but cleaner. We brought in our 9 year son and he loved the kids menu. The restrooms are clean and the popcorn is free! I highly recommend this place and Jax should be requested. read more

Ordered Mexican flatbtead pizza and they piled on the toppings. It was so good! Clean restaurant, bathrooms and service was quick.

I have enjoyed their chicken and other dishes numerous times. I highly recommend their take out over their dine in as their dine in wait times for chicken can exceed 30 min. The chicken thighs are more consistent than their legs or wings when it comes to being succulent and not dry. Since it is broasted chicken it does not keep very well imo so I recommend eating it as soon as you can. I have tried many of their other dishes and most are ok. Their breakfast is a good option, however I do wish they served their hollandaise after 12pm. Since they do not, I find myself favoring other options. Rooster Too's onion rings are some of the best in town. read more

Ate here last night for the first time in years. The only reason we went was to watch a friend playing pool. I will never order food here again. I ordered a battered chicken sandwich and fries, nasty is how it turned out. Both the sandwich and fries tasted like fish, probably haven't changed the oil in a long time and the chicken and fries were overcooked. The waitress is the only reason I am giving 2 stars, she did her job great. read more

Great food,large portions, very good service. Onion rings were delicious. Visiting with friends and no one tried to rush us out.

I walked here from my hotel to have breakfast. It wasn't too early. It was Sunday. I noticed they serve breakfast till noon on Sundays. I received great service from Stephanie! An excellent server on a busy Sunday late morning/early afternoon. I ordered a breakfast burrito which said it was NEW on the menu. It had a good mixture of beef, tater tots, egg, cheese, and anything else I forgot to mention. As sides, they gave me salsa, Pico de Gallo, and sour cream. This burrito was very filling and was a meal in itself just as their menu said! I am allergic to onions, so I had them put the Pico on the side so I can still pick them out and eat the diced tomatoes and jalapeños on the burrito. I had cranberry juice to drink. I stayed here a while, and the juice was refillable!!! Stephanie even gave me the last one to go without me even having to ask! I enjoyed the BarN atmosphere, and it was neat watching the football games. It was also a cool interior, simply decorated. I thought it funny being greeted by the rooster on the way in the front door. Would definitely be back here when visiting again. Highly recommend! read more

This place was close to the hotel I was staying at so I thought I would give a try. I placed my order for pickup and it was ready when I arrived. The people I dealt with were very friendly and provided good customer service. I hadn't had lunch and this was dinner time so I was real hungry and I ordered the Hog Heaven sandwich. From their menu : "Hog Heaven" Sandwich A super stacker with thin sliced ham, bacon, choice of cheese, topped with a pile of pulled pork, our bourbon BBQ sauce & fried onion scoops on a kaiser roll and choice of standard sides USD 9.95 It was all of that and delicious at a very reasonable price. read more

Pretty fun place to grab lunch and hang out. Prices are reasonable and the food, while pretty standard pub fare, is good and the portions generous. My favorite menu item here is probably the nachos. The broasted chicken is also wonderful - just know it takes about 20min to prepare if you order it. Service is always good, bathrooms clean and the atmosphere is nice. read more

I have only been here once but it was a good sports bar with excellent food! Price was a little high but the place had class to it so it wasn't a dive bar and you could bring your kids too. Service was wonderful they where just right. I really want to come back and have breakfast!! read more

Just got back from a very happy hour with my colleague Darcy. Good times!!! Rochester's Rooster Too. Go there! Najiib at the bar!! No, really, You need to go there!!! The chicken strip basket is literally 3 full chicken breasts of lightly breaded chicken. Doesn't even need sauce. Although our fave was the Bourbon BBQ. read more

We had a great time last night, had a small get together for a birthday and the service was very friendly and fast. My burger was very good and the pretzel was great. . The one thing I advise is to get a reservation if you can. read more

Whenever I'm in town with my son, we usually make a stop at this place. It's not too far from our hotel and they have pool tables, which is a rarity in the area. The last time we visited, the place was packed, probably due to some event that had just ended. Normally, it's easy to get a pool table, but on that particular day, we had to wait for someone to leave before we could play. Overall, it's an average spot for drinks and pool. We've eaten here a few times, but the food is nothing special, just typical bar fare. read more

We come here quite often because we know people who work here but its a fun causal place for cocktails or burgers and pretzels or pizza.

Walk in and the place is only a quarter full. Sign reads wait to be seated. Two people behind the bar look at us; no smile, no hello, nothing. We continue waiting. Staff walks by, no greeting from any of them. Bartenders look at us several times, still nothing. Finally get seated. Bartender walks over to wait on us, really no greeting, not friendly. We have spent enough time in here to see he gives great service and greetings to others. The only positive experience the entire time was the young man that brought out our food, he was very friendly. Food was good. But being treated poorly makes this a no for me. They seem to only like and appreciate the regulars. So if you are not a regular, good luck. read more

Not sure why this place has 3 stars only. We are so picky when it comes to what good food is and it's soooo hard to find good food around this area. We were so pleasantly surprised with roosters. Soooo glad we tried it despite the rating is has. The popcorn was movie quality. My daughters burger was very good, my husbands chicken was amazingly juicy and flavorful, my chicken salad was great, and the bread that it comes with was the best bread I've had in my entire life! On top of the great good, our waitress was so kind and joyful and so were the other waitresses with their tables. It felt like they were serving us out of their home with love. We will definitely be back read more

The place looked busy. Most tables were full with a few large groups, so we expected some delays. It took a few minutes before we were acknowledged by the bartender that it would be a couple minutes. The hostess came around a couple minutes later and asked if we preferred a high top or regular table. We opted for the regular and were told she had to clean a couple off. No problem, they were busy. Meanwhile, bartender noticed us again waiting and offered us a seat at the bar. We let him know we were about to be seated. My wife ordered the cheese curds, after being told the portion size. I ordered the two piece chicken with fries and coleslaw. We were told that the chicken order would take 20-25 minutes. We opted for the curds to be an appetizer. We were offered popcorn while we waited for our order as well. The cheese curds were very good. My chicken order was delivered in the time frame the waitress told us. My chicken tasted alright. It was cooked alright as well. I can't complain really, it just that my local grocery store's broasted chicken is more flavorful. I'll boost the rating up to 4 basted on excellent service in the wake of some large groups before us. Based on flavor I would have given it a 3. Not disappointed, but didn't really meet my expectations. I've read reviews of great flavor, which I guess I wouldn't agree (not bad, in my opinion, but not great). I've read reviews of terrible service, I would not agree there either. Service was great, given the volume of customers. read more

The service we've received here has been excellent eveytime we come. Our favorite servers are 2 tall blonde girls that we would have all of the time they are both very good! We also had a party in your party room yesterday and our server Reagan gave us the best experience ever! read more

The second trip yielded much better service. The meal arrived in under 10 minutes and the place was packed! I ordered a burger this time and was very pleased. The thick burger had great taste. I certainly left with a full stomach. I can never get enough of the tater barrels (tots). I order the "Pig Pile" Burger. The pork enhanced the taste and the BBQ sauce added to the flavor. The pork was a bit slim but enough to change the taste of a regular bacon cheese burger. The place has lots of variety on the menu and I will visit again. Price was very reasonable for a family of four. read more

I would give it a 0 if I could. just left after being there 90 minutes. Ordered food at 11:30 and left at 12:36 without getting any food. Managers response was "well it's not uncommon to have hour wait times on a Sunday". Meanwhile a table of 8 got sat twice before we left. Super disappointed because we've been there on holidays(Father's Day ) and was able to eat within an hour. read more

Was skeptical with the lower rating but this place was great. The service was wonderful. The food was delicious. Highly recommend. We will be back when we're in town. read more

Got a 16 piece bucket of chicken for $49 and got it home to see they burnt it and made it very dry. Called the Mgr Seth and he wanted me to bring remaining chicken in to have him look at it. I thought that was weird but whatever. Brought the chicken in and he gave us a $ 20 credit. I thought that was very unsatisfactory since he ruined our supper plus we had to drive all the way back across town for a measly $20. WONT BE GOING BACK THERE AGAIN! read more

The food service and wait staff were unbelievable I can't believe what a good job they do We come from a tourist area and it's nothing compared to how it is here. read more

Great sports bar with pretty darn good food and prices. My husband had meatloaf dinner and I had chicken dinner. It was good, prices are reasonable, service was great. read more

Great food awesome staff and clean place. This looks like it would be a fun all day any time sports bar with lots of TVs all over, but I ended up here at 10 am on my way to the airport. Their omelets were really good I thought, and the ingredients were definitely fresh. The service staff was super friendly and accommodating, and even gave me a discount for telling me an incorrect price out of their own pocket, which i left on top of my tip. The bacon is sooo good, I mean bacon is always good, but theirs is tasty and the has browns, I am ready for more. I would most certainly recommend this place! read more

Went for a large party last night. Didn't eat any food just had drinks. Our server Sam or Sammi was sweet and helpful. She let us know that two people called out and they were short staffed. She was helpful and got us what we needed. Some of the people in the group had been drinking for awhile so she was probably sick of us but didn't show it haha! My only complaint is there was some really rude, really short dude who kept literally barking at our group to get back to the party room. None of us were even trying to order from him, though I don't think he would have helped us anyways. Sam, keep up the great work thanks so much for your awesome service last night! Short dude, please ignore us instead of being incredibly rude. We will be back!! read more

Had a late dinner and drinks here after a long day at Mayo. Maybe I just didn't pick a great menu choice but felt food was a little average. Appears to be a popular locals place. read more

A nice surprise! We asked what everybody ate here and without hesitation we were told the chicken. They were correct. The broasted chicken was closer to fried chicken and it was hot and juicy! The meal was great. read more

We've been eating here since they opened. Usually the food is great but there are some issues I wish they'd fix. They have the best onion rings but on a recent take-out order, we got a batch that had been sitting around for a while. They were shriveled and barely warm. We paid full price for them, shouldn't we get fresh food? Second, all deep fried food is always dripping with grease. It's disgusting and not necessary. Adjust the temp of your oil. Tonight my beer-battered shrimp were under-cooked. The batter was a light color and gooey inside - yuck. The tater barrels I ordered turned out to be french fries and they skimped on the amount of cole slaw. Hope they care about customer feedback! read more

Disclaimer: was only there for breakfast. I would start by saying the service was as expected, the food was appropriate size for the dollar but just skip the coffee. I have the impression of water-down, lack of flavor coffee should be expected at cheap greasy-spoon restaurants, dirty truck stops and shifty interstate gas stations. And if the business wants to rank themselves as one of those, they are on their way. D&R Star coffee was their brand. For the price they charge for a bottomless cup, the business may want to quit being cheap and kick it up a notch. read more

For those who've never had or don't like broasted chicken, Roosters Too is just another sports bar, which is not in-and-itself bad, the far SE side of town could use more restaurants (it's located in the Shoppes on Maine on South Broadway) and it was a great place to watch the Cubs clinch the series. But if you're new to or already like the delicious style (which though it sounds like a combination of broiled and roasted seems to be fried yet amazingly the breasts manage to remain moist) you won't find anything better within driving distance (options further from Rochester: Liberty's Restaurant & Lounge in Red Wing, and Hager Heights Drive In across the river in Wisconsin). And if the chicken isn't enough, there's something special about those little biscuits. Eat in or take out, the chicken's great and worth the trip. (FYI: The original Rooster's on the NW side has the same chicken.) read more

Wow best fried chicken I've had in a long time. It was super hot, crispy and reasonably priced. Prepare to wait a bit to get as its made when you order, but great tap beer choices and it's super cold! Can't wait to go back. read more

This was my first time there. I'd probably go back and give it a second chance but.... I'd maybe only drink and have appetizers. I for sure wouldn't get the same sandwich. My turkey melt had more ham than turkey (ham was not included on the menu description so imagine my surprise), the bottom piece of toast was soggy and falling apart, and there was way too much goopy sauce. The fries were soggy and not hot. Actually, the plate itself was hotter than the food, leading me to believe it sat in the window under the heat lamps for a while. Our server was nice, but not super attentive. Mostly, the 3 waitresses on duty stood around chatting, which didn't bother me considering it wasn't busy at all, but then there is no excuse for why our food wasn't brought out right away. Their menu is HUGE which could be part of their downfall. In my opinion, its better to have fewer options and do them really well, than to have a million options and have them only taste so-so. If I were to go back and eat a meal, I'd probably try chicken which is supposedly what they're known for. I've heard okay things about breakfast there, and really, breakfast is pretty hard to screw up. Overall, I wanted this place to be better, since in this part of town, there's not too many other options for a bar and grill. read more

Went in for a quick bite and drink after a flight. Sat at the bar for 10 minutes with no greeting or drink service. Loads of staff behind the bar, too. Bummer. read more

Great quick breakfast we had today! Biscuits and Gravy were the best we've had in town (we've been to 5 west, Brothers, Grandma's, Cafe Presto). We only had breakfast and it was fast as I had a flight to catch but they were super fast and accomodating. I'd try them again. read more

Rooster's Too! is a great addition! My husband and I frequently visited the original Rooster's until we had a few less than good dinner experiences. We decided to try Rooster's Too one night before a movie and both agreed it's way better than he original! The food quality was much better, and there seems like there's a lot more seating than the original Roosters. Definitely will be going back to this location! read more

Great food! Excellent service! Broasted chicken was so good. Will definitely be coming back. Good selection of beers and cocktails. Nice location with outdoor seating. Restaurant was clean and temperature was good. read more
