My husband and I had the best experience here! We're big foodies and love to be in the kitchen and try new restaurants, so we're tough critics. We sat at the bar and the bartender is beyond lovely. She was very sweet, warm and welcoming. I got an "adult" cherry limeade and my husband got a glass of the smal batch Hochatown whiskey. Both were fantastic. My limeade was both tart with a hint of sweetness- very refreshing and exactly what I wanted after a hike. To start we got the fried mushrooms, they were hot and fresh and delicious! Not too overly bartered and super juicy. I got ranch and my husband got bbq sauce and both are delicious- you can tell they're both made in house! The bbq sauce has a hint of spiciness that we loved. We split the Yard Bird half portion spicy and it was HUGE. Great portion and great flavor!! Super juicy and not overly spicy. We got it with fries, beans and an extra side of fried okra. All I can say is that they're all fantastic and it was exactly what we were hoping for. Very casual place but it was exactly what we were lookin for. Great for couples and families. Go check it out!! read more

My family and I vacation in the Broken Bow at least once a year, but have never been able to stop by The Blue Rooster. However, we stopped in to the pizza spot near by and it was open so we ordered to go for my youngest son. He got the chicken tenders and fries and they were hot and fresh out the fryer! Even better that they tasted really good for what it was. Upon entering, you could tell it was a quaint local spot that probably had a handful of regulars during the week. They had outdoor seating and a cute bar area where some folks were relaxing. The staff was very friendly and quick to help us with our to go order. We will surely be back and can hopefully sit down to enjoy a meal to see how the other food is. read more

Had to get back to my favorite fried chicken in 'Merica! This is it y'all! Crispy, spicy and delicious! You cannot go wrong with the beans and fries as sides and the fried jalepenos as a starter!!! Oh yeahhhhhh, babe! Jessica is one of our favorite waitresses. She always has a great attitude even when she is super busy! read more

After wrapping up an early afternoon hike, we went looking for a place for beers and bar apps. Based upon Yelp, we picked the Blue Rooster. Like many eateries in Hochatown Ok, this one had marginal curb appeal. Upon entry, we encountered a fridge full of dozens of craft beers and a large sign: "It ain't food if it ain't fried." Seating was mostly picnic tables on covered porches. OK for apres-hike, but I wouldn't take my prom date here. We ordered all of their fried apps: jalapeños, pickles, cheese curds, squash chips, onion strings, etc. All were exactly what we expected. Beers and spritzers were interesting and justified seconds. The secret ingredient at the Blue Rooster was our waiter KENNY -- fun, knowledgeable, and quite able to read the crowd and steer us to the eats and drinks we really needed. We all ordered different craft beers in cans, and we were awestruck at the clever way they were presented: with the empty can perched on the edge of the glass. Somebody out to file a patent. On an impulse, I ordered a fried peach pie to go. Piping hot, crispy outside. Perfectly done. Given the **THREE** unexpected surprises (Kenny, the beer ID system, and the fried pie), I am obliged to give the Blue Rooster a 5. read more

A lot of fried food. The fried pickles and hush puppies were good. The fish and fries were okay. Good atmosphere on the patio. They don't have fountain drinks they bring you a can and ice. read more

Unfortunately, I had to give this pace at least one star to be able to give my review. This place is a joke! Called to order for pick-up since we were staying in a cabin about 10 miles away. When ordering on the phone, the young lady put me on hold multiple times because she had to ask someone else in order to answer my questions. Apparently, it was her first week there. Once order was picked up, we arrived to our cabin to finally eat our meal to the surprise that no silverware, no napkins and no tartar sauce for the fish was added to our bag. When I called, the manager, a rude female, was not apologetic at all. Her response was "you're welcome to come pick up some tartar sauce if you want". The food was not worth my time nor my frustration. Run and eat elsewhere of you can!! read more

Rustic ambiance. Wait staff was very nice but drink order came to the table incorrect, then food order was partially incorrect. I had to explain my order twice when ordering after being told that my meal did not come with fries when the menu clearly stated that it did. My order came out correct but my husband's came with no fries due to an additional misunderstanding of the order by the waitress. Enjoyed the food but honestly probably would not go back. Too many other places in Broken Bow area to try. read more

Southern cooking! Primarily fried foods. Great attention by staff to us. We ordered the half and half appetizer. It was excellent! The burger was nothing too exciting but just a good burger. The half chicken with rooster sauce was similar to Nashville chicken. It was good. The best things we ate were the chicken and dumplings, pinto beans and macaroni & cheese! read more

First off, I would like to make potential newcomers aware that this establishment has a somewhat limited menu. Don't let that deter you from stopping by though! My mother and I dropped by yesterday [05/06/2025] to try something new and we picked up the 1LB catfish deal and a boudin ball starter. Everything was absolutely delicious and made perfect. The customer service yesterday, was on point. Kenny, our waiter was very friendly and very accommodating. The kitchen had messed up and made two peach pies instead of an apple pie and a peach pie, but they were quick to remedy the situation and send us home with an apple pie for free and with an apology. The fountain machine was also on the fritz that day, but it was remedied as well. I would like to recommend their own ale, "The Rooster" and Sneaky Snake. I also tried F5, but it's an IPA and for people who love having some bitterness to their beer. The patio was beautifully decorated, not overdone, and it was just nice to sit out and enjoy the rain. One small recommendation to the owners though. Please, get some butter and some Cajun gravy. Make it as good as your food was that day and people will keel over for it. Thank you Blue Rooster, we will return! read more

Took 2.5 hours to get out of there because "they cook everything to order". Got the half bird spicy and it maybe tasted like black pepper and nothing else. Mac n cheese was just Kraft box cheese, the Cole slaw tasted like nothing as well but for some reason it had cheese in it which also tasted like nothing. So it's not cheap, good, or fast service. Spent way too much of our Saturday here. Just get pizza next door and get out of there. read more

Not pet friendly. Though. Listed as dog friendly, pets are not allowed. Service animals seem to be okay. But we didn't feel like lying about our dogs read more

We had a big group (8) and the place was not that crowded. The menu seemed decent enough; mostly fried Cajun style food. Our orders were straightforward: burgers, chicken strips, po boys. But it took 2 1/2 hours to get our food. We were just about to walk out when it finally came. The place is nice but the slow service is bad. The food was ok but not worth 2 hour wait. read more

The food was amazing. The service was not. No refills, they forgot we were outside. Looked like they only had 1 waitress, but others just standing around. Beautiful scenery outside. read more

Service was really good! Our waitress was amazing and very polite. We got the catfish, hush puppies, and Cole slaw. All 4 of us ate the exact same thing. 2 of us got really really sick and ended up spending the rest of the day puking at the cabin and the other 2 were perfectly fine. So I'm not gonna say it was the food...but I'm also not saying it wasn't? ‍‍ read more

Hostess needs training in customer service and common sense. We came in with a group of 8 willing to split into 2 tables of 4. There was a group of 6 and a group of 12 ahead of us that were waiting for the 2 big tables. We were told that she couldn't seat us at the 2 OPEN tables for 4 until the 6 and 12 groups were sat. Having worked as a hostess before, that's not how the restaurant industry works. We left. read more

We love this Place! It's our first time and the waitress, Hailey, was very friendly and just relatable! Seemed like we were good friends even tho we just met. My girlfriend and I really enjoyed her service. The food was good! The drinks were good! They give us crayons and a white table cloth to color on! I did not know that all I needed to distract my girlfriend Jk. . The place is very old school which we loved. read more

Amazing catfish French fries and Coleslaw, and great atmosphere.! The staff are friendly and helpful.!

Chicken strips don't have very much crust and their low on flavor. I believe this is the only restaurant I've ever been to that serves fried chicken and chicken strips, but doesn't have mashed potatoes or cream gravy. Their beer is not very cold. Probably won't return. read more

Everything that could have been horrible was absolutely horrible. Susan, you need to get your whole restaurant in check. Btw, don't talk down to your employees who made the one thing right by comping what should have been. Also your manager has ZERO accountability and needs some retraining... wish we would have had a chance to try the food, but they literally forgot about us for an HOUR and then when I finally got up to ask where our food was, they said "oh no, the computer must have not worked...." Do not waste your time here... read more

Worst experience we had in Hochatown all weekend. Had a party of 14. Was told even though the restaurant was almost empty that it would be a 30 minute wait to be seated while the kitchen preps the food. How could they prep if they didnt know what we wanted. 3-4 smaller parties were seated immediately adding up to the same amount of people we had and we were told they were small parties even though same amount of people. We had already wasted a lot of time there. With food and drinks our party would have spent close to 400 dollars but with their attitude we left and went elsewhere! read more

Food is fantastic! Especially the fried green tomatoes. Staff was super friendly, we stopped here multiple times on our trip to broken bow. Cute place we will definitely come back again on our next trip. read more

Food was really good! Fried pickles were a little salty but other than that everything tasted great! It's southern food so most of the stuff is fried but it isn't over fried or have a ton of batter on it! Service was really good despite us being there close to them closing and a couple of big groups! Our waiter was attentive and came by several times asking if we needed anything! We had a great experience here! read more

Definitely SELF proclaimed "best chicken in town". Only good thing about this joint was the overall vibe but not good enough to over come the tough and dry chicken. 25 min wait to order the fried chicken was in fact NOT worth it as the menu would suggest. No flavor and even the dark meat was dry. Chicken strips tasted odd and also dry. Very disappointed and would not recommend. read more

Amazing bar tender and service. Darby is great! Great salad with chicken strips! I would recommend getting a nice pre-funk drink and dinner or enjoy a nice weekend day here! read more

Our family love coming here when we visit the cabins. Nice people, good food! The food always comes out hot and fresh. Our kiddos love it and they don't like too many new places. It's one of our "go to" spots now. read more

The food was okay, nothing special. Everything is fried for the most part except the salads. The ambiance of the restaurant fits the theme, but it feels old or worn down and half-a**ed. Their decorations for Christmas look like they just went to Walmart and threw some garland up everywhere simply to say they're "festive". The big problem is the service. The waitress was nice, but she "forgot" to ask us for our order after she initially asked us what kind of drinks we wanted. So we waited about 15-20 minutes just to place our order and then it took around 40 minutes for our food to arrive at the table...and there weren't even that many people in the restaurant! We have 2 small kids (5 & under) that were starving and it took so long even my usually patient kids started to complain. To top it all off, this only alright tasting food cost $90 including tip for 2 apps and 3 entrées. If you're going to charge that much for food, it better taste like the best d*** fried food I've ever had no matter what I ordered. read more

The food was great, and Kenny was an awesome server!! If you want fried food this is a great place to get it with great service.

Slowest service known to mankind. Bartender was too worried about eating and flirting with people at the bar to make other drinks. Waited almost 2 hours for our food in a nearly empty restaurant. read more

Where do I start? The fried chicken was mediocre at best. The cobbler was shockingly underwhelming. The service was not good and my drink was never refilled. I don't recommend this place at all. read more

The food was delicious. We had fried pickles, cheese curds, fried green tomatoes for appetizers. Entrees were chicken and dumplings, chicken strips, chicken salad and a spicy chicken sandwich. Service was good and so was the food. read more

The great thing about this place is the location. The drive in any direction is well worth the trip. The food was ok, the server was overwhelmingly busy but she kept a smile on her face and did the best she could. There is a cute souvenir shop next door. We sat on the porch and it was beautiful. read more

Can't tell you how the food was didn't eat Because we were told we had to wait 45 minutes when there was empty tables available inside and outside Also witnessed them telling others that they needed to leave What a terrible way to treat customers read more

The food was good. Sweet tea horrible. So gross. Ate inside and it was so hot. Could not enjoy being there.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal there. Staff was helpful and engaging. Provided lots of local info for us as out of town visitors. 2 lb catfish dinner was great. Expertly prepared. Enough for three people to share. The sides were good and I really enjoyed the tartar sauce. The wife had the delicious chicken avocado salad, it was delicious. read more

First time here, and a great place to eat. The fried catfish basket was the best. I also love the fried green tomatoes. They have a great selection of beer and drinks. The atmosphere is fantastic has tons of outside seating, as well as inside seating with great views. The place is super clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful and helping us even identified trails to go on as well as great breakfast places they're very attentive. It is a place where you order your food at your table or at the counter, and they bring it to you with a check on you often and make sure the service is great. read more

When you walk in tell you where to sit, but you have to get right back up to go order at the counter. They read our order back twice and each time it was wrong, so when the food came out of course it was wrong. We should have read the reviews and skipped this restaurant, we should have taken the sign of no on eating there. My burger was not cooked enough for my liking so I stopped eating. read more

This place was so bad that I actually felt sorry for them. The signs say to order at the entrance, so we are standing in line to order. A waitress pulls us aside to get us a table, so we follow her, as directed. She sat us outside where the occasional drafts of sewer smell added a special spice to our meal. Then she tells us to go back to the cash register to order. It felt like a comedy routine! We go back to the back of the line to wait to order. Placing our order was fine except the lady gives us a list of pies and when we choose, she tells us they don't have that one! We return to our table to wait for the food - a significant wait. A waitress first comes out with our pie and ice cream. Not wanting the ice cream to melt while we eat, we refused them, preferring g to wait until our entrees were served. This became an issue later. Entree were pretty sad. I would be embarrassed to serve any of these at my own home. The burgers were so dry - you need something to drink to choke them down (but good luck find the drink station, or help finding it). The Mac & Cheese was some soupy instant garbage that I would never feed my family, and the deer chili seemed to be some canned variety. We eventually had to go beg for our pies and ice cream, the waitress saying we had refused them, acting like we were way out of line for asking for them after our entree. Then they weren't even the pies that we asked for. We literally have up at this point. read more
