Place used to be awesome. Won't be back now, if I could give no stars I would, don't have half the menu items they used to, you have to go up front to order at the same place they set people which makes it a cluster. Has turned into an absolute joke. Literally took us 30 minutes to order between them setting people and trying to take people's order, and there was t hardly any people there for it to be that much of a cluster. Such a shame. read more

Food was fine, but service could have been better. The waitress seemed like she was bored or mad. I won't be back.

My family loves it here. We always get seated pretty quickly. Our favorite part is how they cover the table with paper...the boys draw all over it. The food is good..fried food so to me you really cant go wrong. read more

Love the service here. Nate the bartender is a beer connoisseur. He loves craft beer and makes sure to talk to you about it. It's a great atmosphere! read more

Its very difficult to find a place with fried food that feels light to the stomach. This place was super good, we ordered fried pickles for starter and two baskets, one with chicken and shrimp and one with catfish, with mac n cheese and pinto beans as sides. Everything is breaded really lightly and the flavor is good! Also make sure to order a Limeade with rum, super good! read more

We were in the restaurant 20 min and had to go tell bartender we hadn't gotten a waitress to get our drink order yet. Chicken and fish had a bad aftertaste, was told by the hostess that there must be something wrong with our kids cause their chicken is the best. I tried it myself. It wasn't good. They ended up taking those 2 meals off our ticket. We will not be back. read more

Great family dinner box. Chicken is excellent. I wish they had a few not fried side dish options (like mashed potatoes and green beans), but the chicken is really good. Skip the Mac and cheese. read more

55 minutes to get our food. No one asked if we needed anything to drink and then they have us our food and left- not asking if we need tarter sauce or anything. The was only 2 tables of people beside us. Terrible terrible service!!!! read more

Easy to get to and waitstaff was great. Food was tasty. Menu that is posted on Yelp is not the correct prices. You can figure on almost double what those are that are posted. read more

Cute name, decor and layout. Wish the food was as tasty. Cocktail sauce was frozen, the Mac and Cheese bland with chunks of unmelted cheese. Service was good and beer selection amazing. Would return just for the beer! read more

Our family came in and sat for 1 1/2 hrs till we got our food and then it was cold. Manager was rude also. We won't be back plus we waited 30 minutes just to pay to Get out of there read more

Best shrimp po boy Iv ever had hands down and I am from Louisiana! It was super fresh, buttery & crispy! The Mac and cheese was homemade and was a bowl full of cheesy heaven. Will come back here. read more

Blue Rooster was a big hit. The chicken strips are actual strips cut from chicken breasts and hand battered in the kitchen, very good. Also had the fried green tomatoes which were excellent. Highly recommend a stop here! read more

Amazing service from Lauren! We had our dog but she was so gracious and directed us to their very cool patio. Her recommendations were on point. Loved the fried green tomatoes and will be back. read more

We are local to the area but this was our first visit here. The atmosphere has all the makings of a successful restaurant. The waitstaff were all good and attentive. The food was mediocre at best. We ordered fried squash as an appetizer, it was very greasy with very little flavor. The restaurant was not busy but we had to wait 1 1/2hrs for our food. The BLT's were not good, on regular bread with bacon that was not done. By the time we got our food we were pretty much fed up with waiting. We won't be back. If the food was improved on it could be a wonderful place. read more

We waited an hour from the time we ordered until our food was delivered. To be fair, they did put on the menu that the food takes a little longer during tourist season (we were here for spring break) but I still didn't expect it to take an hour. Food was "OK" at best. Fish poboy was served on a dry, stain bun and everything was a little bland. Fried pickles were awesome though. Not worth the wait though. Staff was nice and the establishment was cute and clean. read more

Another Hochatown/ Broken Bow bust... mediocre food with an excessive wait time for 1 PM in the afternoon. Shrimp on Po' Boy was cold and sweet potato fries were also cold and under cooked. Terrible... read more

I do not see how this place is in business! The wait time was unacceptable and the service subpar. The food was generic and bland though the prices suggested otherwise. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place! read more

Really enjoyed the catfish, hush puppies, and fried pickles. The catfish was perfectly prepared, the hush puppies had a great flavor, and the pickles were tasty. read more

The Blue Rooster - Catfish and hush puppies at home (to go order was packed well) - Southern Near Me - Broken Bow, Oklahoma

Went tonight March 11, with six friends from Texas. Ordered a beer. Ok. Then ordered sandwiches, chicken fingers and so on. We waited , waited , and waited. The place was not 15% full. We asked what was going on. The wait staff ignored us knowing we were upset. After over an hour one of our party got up and left. 1.5 hours later our good arrived. The food was nothing to write home about. By then all we wanted to do is leave and go back to the cabin to get some real food. By now it was 9:40 pm. I can assure anyone reading this that this is one of the worst restaurants we have ever been in. Plus the wait staff was basically rude and offered no resolution to such a terrible experience. Do yourself a favor and go next door to the Greatful Head for a great pizza and friendly wait staff. Very Disappointing. read more

So we went to Grateful Head the day before and saw there was a gift shop close by. We went to the gift shop which led us to the Blue Rooster. Obviously having just eaten we were not going to eat again, but the next day we made sure to visit before leaving town. Once inside the restaurant there was a hometown feel to it. The menu is simple southern. Nothing crazy. The tea was a little too sweet but that might be the worst thing I can say about this place. They put butcher paper down on the tables and if you have kids they bring crayons for them to color on it. So fun for them and makes it easy for the parents. I ordered the fried bologna sandwich and it was delicious. It came with a choice of fries or homemade chips. I went with the fries and they were good too. I also got a side of hush puppies as well which were good. The waitress was awesome. My wife got the shrimp po'boy. She thought it was good and at one point wondered how she was going to eat it all. To finish it off we got a scoop of ice cream. Will definitely come back the next time we go to Broken Bow! read more

The Blue Rooster - Fried Bologna with fries. - Southern Near Me - Broken Bow, Oklahoma

See all

Great place. Very friendly service. Fried pickles were some the best I've ever had. The catfish was decent, definitely not better than my Granny's but it still filled my belly! The fried pies were fresh and delicious! I will definitely be back. In fact my wife stopped by and ordered more fried pies just so we could take some home! read more

I really like the ambience of this restaurant, and the wait staff are all very friendly. The side dishes we ate were absolutely delicious, but the fried chicken was sadly underwhelming. Two pieces of chicken one side and a drink came to more than $13 a person which is too much for mediocre fried chicken. read more

Not sure why this place only has one review and doesn't come up on Yelp for restaurant search, but it's great!! Most places in Broken Bow are closed on Monday, so we gave it a shot. Awesome!! There's a difference when a place serves fried items and the food is NOT greasy tasting! Fried mushrooms will not disappoint you and the chicken strips with honey mustard...yum!!!! If your pinto bean fan, get them here. Food was good!! Waiting in the cherry pie next... read more

Fish was amazing and lightly battered. Patio was stinky, but inside we got to draw on the table! Fried green tomatoes and gator balls were great. Adult drinks are fruity and yummy! read more

Staff and management couldn't handle a group of 30 people , stoped taking orders, made everyone wait...food wasn't good enough to put up with a bad Monday afternoon 2pm wait of over an hour read more

Very small menu. Food was OK as was the service. There is no theme here. Big band music, lots of odd beers, antiques and no reason for any of it. Seems they spent the entire ambiance budget on the signage out front Would not go again. read more

Good location near our weekend cabin vacation. The wait was over an hour for a group of six with only a few other couples in front of us. The wait staff was limited to only one young lady, (with 13 tables). She was nice but over worked. Our meal took about 25 minutes to arrive and all four were cold. I had a shrimp po'boy that was cold, bread was not fresh, hard and unappetizing. I was not impressed. read more

The Best Catfish I've ever had !!, fried green tomatoes are always Awesome !!, Cold Beer . And the Staff is very Friendly !! Our Favorite place to eat at when we are in Broken Bow !! I liked that they were practicing social distancing !! The Place is the Bomb !! Not alot of places are making people wear mask the blue Rooster does and thank you for that.

Pretty good food I was thoroughly impressed. Nice staff and cool ambience. The only thing I'd stay away from is the coleslaw and that's cuz I'm not used to having apples and cheese in my coleslaw (no joke) but other than that it's pretty good read more

Went in and was told there was no seating but we could go outside with the heaters. Went outside with only one working heater in patio. 20 mins later went to the bathroom and they had conveniently opened up another section for some ladies but never informed us freezing outside. We ordered the fried chicken and it wasn't great or worth the wait. Not to mention as the cooks were plating food they were eating while doing it. Manager was rude and Kentucky hot doesn't mean hot or ours was totally wrong. read more

Staff was very friendly and the restaurant was clean. We were able to eat in the outside patio, social distancing. The frog legs basket and the shrimp basket were very tasty. They included fries and hush puppies. read more

Everything is fried. No healthy options. Took a very long time to get our food & it wasn't a busy time of day. Very very expensive too. Seemed like everyone was unorganized. Not impressed. Could be much better. Cute decor, tho. read more

Expected long wait on Thanksgiving Eve but they handled beautifully! Food was quick and delicious. Don't miss the pickled onion rings or fried mushrooms. They were on point. Staff was friendly and prompt. We had low expectations because of the day and crowd but left super pleased. read more

Stopped in to eat with a party of 10, including 3 small children. First off, it took them almost 10 minutes to acknowledge and get us seated. We had to ask for a large table in the corner instead of sitting back to back with another large table due to us having small kids. Once we sat down they brought us table covering paper with crayons and that's it. The 2 or 3 waitresses passed us over and over again and never stopped to ask us about drinks or anything. There were not many occupied tables in the place. And to top it off, a table of gentlemen came in and were waited on immediately. We finally had to stop the hostess/ waitress and ask her if we could get service ( going on 20 minutes at this point) and she was no help. We finally just told the next passing employee at least some of us were leaving because we were being ignored and watched them cater to a table that came in after us. The girl apologized and made some excuse about using something and not knowing who was next or some crazy reason. We all ended up leaving and will never go back or recommend. Some reviews say the food was great, guess we will never know. read more

Waited over an hour for our food after we ordered our main entree before we left. Wasn't even busy. We got our appetizers in about 30 minutes. Their menu said fresh sizzling pork rinds and they were cold stale ones. Their menu also said they were serving crawfish but they weren't. read more

Service was good and staff was super friendly! We got burgers and they were great! I wasn't expecting the little tiny straw fires but they did the job! We had lunch there the next day. Pinto Beans were delicious! read more

Very good! We enjoyed this adorable place. I loved the chicken strips. My boyfriend has the frog legs and we both had their super great and fresh side salad. Very nice people, good food and adorable space! read more

We are from out of town, and the place was recommended to us by the owner of the cabin we rented, and they said the fried chicken was pretty good. Short version: bad food, worse service, and overcharged us Here's the long version: We came in and there was a sign that said to seat yourself, and even though there was a lady at the hostess table, nobody said hello. The waitress took at least 5 minutes before she came over and asked us what we wanted to drink. Mindy (I'm guessing based on the receipt, but she never actually introduced herself) brought us our drinks, and the sweet tea was old and practically syrup with how much sugar was in it. After about two minutes, she came back and asked if we knew what we want. We had barely looked at the menu, and before my partner could ask about the specials, she told us, with an attitude, "I'm going to give y'all some more time." It wasn't what she said, but how she said it. She hadn't asked if we were even ready to order. She was cold and rude and this attitude carried through the rest of the meal. When she brought the neighboring tables their food, there was a bowl of mac'n'cheese that nobody had ordered, which I'm fairly certain is the same bowl I was eventually served. We will get back to that. After 10 minutes, she came back and asked if we were ready. She took our orders. My partner ordered a chicken po'boy ($8.99) and I had the fried tomato po'boy ($10.50), with a side of mac'n'cheese and an order of hush puppies as an appetizer. I had asked for ranch on my sandwich, and she offered to have the ranch on the side, which was perfect for me. The hushpuppies came out and were delicious and probably the highlight of my meal. When our food arrived, there was no ranch on the sandwich or on the side. My partner and I doodled on the butcher paper for a few minutes waiting for her to come check on us. She never did. After about 10 minutes, I approached the bar and asked for the ranch, which she promptly went to retrieve. (I would like to add that when I approached her at the bar, her patron there was graced with a smile and a pleasant demeanor that was never within 10 feet of our table.) On her way back to me, however, she stopped to drop a handful of something onto the plate of another coworker eating near the bar. I thanked her for the ranch and returned to my table. When I poured the ranch and bit into the sandwich, I realized there was no bacon on the sandwich. Just to be sure I had not missed it, I asked my partner to grab a menu so I could make sure that the sandwich was supposed to have bacon on it. It is. My partner took the sandwich up to the lady at the hostess station nearby, and she didn't seem to recognize what kind of sandwich it was (there is only one sandwich that comes with fried green tomatoes on it). They took the sandwich to the back, and I ate my side of mac'n'cheese. The mac'n'cheese was cold and the noodles were starting to harden the way macaroni does when it has been left out too long. My partner had long since finished his food by the time my sandwich was brought back out. They did not remake the sandwich. They brought the same sandwich, which had now been sitting out for about 25 minutes, and it was absolutely heaped with overcooked bacon. I did not ask for extra bacon or an obscene amount of bacon. I just wanted the bacon that came on the sandwich according to the menu. The bread was dry and stale, the fried green tomatoes were soggy by this point and, the entire sandwich was disgusting, I stomached most of the soggy mess, and my partner finished it. By this point, I was fuming, and when the waitress finally came over to see about refills and to bring us our check, I was irate. I asked my partner to please look over the bill before we left. On our bill, we had my tea, the hushpuppies and mac'n'cheese, my partner's po'boy, and a shrimp po'boy ($11.95). *I did not order shrimp, that is not the same price While running his card (he insisted it would cause less problems to just pay the overcharge and get the hell out of there), our waitress was very audibly discussing the problems she is having with her teenager. I am not sure if she was discussing it with other members of the wait staff or with a patron, but if your teen is having attitude problems, maybe you should start by looking at your own. She had the audacity to overcharge us on a sandwich that I did not even enjoy eating. It was soggy and mediocre at best, paired with some of the worst service I have ever had. I ate stale and old food. She did not offer to do anything to improve upon the experience. While I realize that asking for ranch may have been complicated, it does not mean I wanted to change the actual toppings. Then to have half a pig's ass worth of burnt bacon piled up on a stale and cold sandwich 30 minutes after it first came out, then to be overcharged for sitting there waiting? We will never go back and we will steer everyone away from this place. read more

The mac and cheese was freaking awesome! Fried pickles were too!!!! Everything we had was delish! read more
