Hands down the best fried chicken you'll ever eat! When we go to Hochatown for a getaway it's our first stop, once you try the chicken you will crave it and want to drive there just to have it, it's addicting! read more

Love this place!! Our waitresses were very kind and welcoming, super cute place, amazing food, and on the outside patio where all the fern plants are, in one of them there will be a little raccoon!! Such a cute and lovely place definitely will visit here again read more

Good vibe and decor, back patio is lovely and shaded. When we walked in for lunch, there were only two other tables sat. We were greeted promptly and with genuine cheerfulness. Unfortunately, when we started ordering we were left with a bad taste... my spouse was only interested in the frog legs. When he ordered, we were advised they didn't have any. A nearby waitress overheard and proclaims, "yes, we do, I watched them clean a whole batch yesterday." Back to the kitchen, but no frog legs. Bummer. Moving on to Catfish, they only offered a 1pound portion or a kids meal. We asked to have a single adult size portion, but they would not accommodate. So on to shrimp and grits, which were available. They were good. I ordered the spicy chicken po boy with the spicy sauce on the side. The roll felt like it had been fried, it was so greasy. I'm sure it was slather in butter and griddled, but I wasn't able to eat it. The chicken was good. The fried pickles were also good. Our server checked in at the end of our meal, but no refills. It was just an "okay" experience. read more

Very friendly staff. The place is decorated in a laidback fashion. Family friendly and the food was great. read more

The Blue Rooster - The bar - Southern Near Me - Broken Bow, Oklahoma

I had catfish basket with Mac n cheese n coleslaw on the side. My hubby had spicy chicken sandwich and a fries. She asked the level of spiceness for the chicken. Staff was very attentive all the time. Bathroom was clean, pet friendly - had our k9 with us, so we stayed at the patio with ceiling fans. Overall, was happy with the food and service on a Memorial Day 2023. read more

The inside was greatly decorated. Was met by one of the staff and they said spot where you want. Waited for 35 minutes and none ever came to the table. 4 groups who came in after us got waited on. One was an employee. Moved to the bar and waited to get drinks. The diet Dr. Pepper was flat. Ordered crawfish and they said they were not cooking crawfish that day. The waitress kept walking away to other tables saying I will be right back. Came back said we were next and immediately left and waited on another patron. After over 45 minutes of waiting e decided to pay out and leave this establishment and try something else. No one we saw was happy here. They advertise one thing and try to sell you something else. The staff is highly unorganized and needs improvement. I do not recommend this restaurant. Go next door and have pizza. read more

This place is a must when in the area. We came by twice during our short visit. The chicken tenders are brined over night leaving them incredibly tender and juicy. My husband tried the spicy yard bird and said it was juicy and full of flavor. If you are looking for something light, this probably isn't for you but otherwise it's delicious. The fried pies - OMG if you can save room they are definitely worth it! The only reason I couldn't give them 5 stars is because both times we visited the service was ridiculously slow. The staff is friendly but clearly not enough of them to help everyone. read more

While we were on vacation, we were told to give The Blue Rooster a try. The waitress was very friendly, and our wait for a table was short. We sat a picnic style tables with white butcher paper for a table cloth. I had the chicken strips with coleslaw and my wife had the red beans, fried squash with coleslaw too. Iced tea was great too!! To top off our visit, we tried the homemade fried pies (apple & chocolate). The pies came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream Others dinning with us had shrimp, fish and other sides. Everyone enjoyed their visit along with their food choices. If I am ever back at Beavers Bend, I will go to the Blue Rooster! Give them a try Go get Full read more

The Blue Rooster - Lemon soda - Southern Near Me - Broken Bow, Oklahoma

Nope. I was hopeful. I like the sign on the door about being nice to the employees that actually show up to work. I am assuming because of that they changed their serving style. You are seated, given a menu, then you must go to the counter to order, then they bring out your food. The food was not very good, it was pretty pricey, no one comes around for refills without taking your drink the counter. We had the family style fish and crawfish. The crawfish was over cooked and mushy and the fish was SUPER fishy tasting. The fried pies were super spicy, not sure what happened there. No one, besides the bartender, was friendly. Just not a good experience and would not return. read more

This was the absolute worst food I have ever put in my mouth. We were there for about an hour and a half waiting for chicken that still had talons on the legs and Mac and cheese that tasted like microwaveable food. My chicken was also dripping in oil. I would never recommend this place to anyone. The waitress was very sweet but that is literally the only positive about the entire experience. read more

We would definitely recommend The Blue Rooster! Everyone is friendly. We were seated right away. My husband and I ordered the chicken tenders ask if they could be spicy. The food everywhere else was pretty bland. They did not disappoint. They were very spicy and good. We also ordered the fried green tomatoes that were also super yummy. The outdoor seating was nice too. read more

Terrible food, marginal service and overpriced. Wouldn't recommend Eating there at all.

Very disappointed with our recent visit. We sat at a table for at least 15 minutes before a server greeted us. It would be one thing if the restaurant was busy but they were not busy at all! The food was just ok and did not come to the table at the same time, 3 out of 4 of us had salads. Overall, very expensive and not worth the money!!! read more

Our family visited this restaurant after zip lining down the road. Our family was promptly greeted and seated on the patio outside. It was a beautiful day and the breeze was just right. We placed our order from the QR scan and our food arrived quickly. We ordered the one pound chicken tenders. It came with approximately 9 chicken tenders and our family of 4 shared it. It also came with two sides and we chose the fried okra and French fries. The waitstaff was quick to check in and refill drinks. All the food was delicious! We neglected to take a picture since we were so hungry after a full day of fun. I would highly recommend it and would return if ever visiting the area again. read more

Thank you for being consistent. I've been vacationing here for years. Gosh, I absolutely love this place. Every order from this place through the years has been delicious. I've been frequenting this place for about 4 yrs. I've never had a bad meal. Although it's a vacation place for me, every meal I've ordered has been delicious. Servers have been attentive and helpful. Food has been served hot and accurate. The location has always been clean. Drinks are delicious. Thank you for serving amazing food consistently. read more

Shrimp PoBoy was delicious! Fried pickles great! The boys liked their chicken tenders, waitress was really kind and attentive...definitely recommend them! read more

We did not enjoy the food at all. Had the fried chicken, beans, and cole slaw. The three of us couldn't eat it. The ordering process was unnecessarily confusing. We didn't have a server, but had to get drinks from the bar. We ordered and paid through my phone, it was just very disappointing. read more

Don't waste your time or money here. The Chicken & Dumplings and the Mac & cheese tasted like it was out of the can. Didn't get our appetizer that I ordered. Had to get own condiments, and napkins. Never got tea refills had to ask when got the ticket. Waitress seemed very nervous. $45 for lunch for two with bad service & bad food. read more

It's a seat yourself fry house with traditional southern service. Completely in line with the Hotchatown Beavers Bend area. We ordered 2lb. family style fried catfish $20.00 & a shrimp basket $12.00 (two sides + hush puppies included). Plus 4 soda drinks & 4 fried pies: $80.00 including tip out the door for 2 adults and 2 teens. The food was fresh and lightly fried (not a greasy mess). We ordered 2 cherry pies, 1 apple and 1 coconut (includes a scoop of vanilla ice cream). The cherry was the best! When we are back in this area we will return. Five Stars: Highly recommend this place. Keep in mind we were there the week after Christmas, definitely off season and slow, I believe this is why the experience was so great for us. read more

Where do I start? Between the grease stained menus and the smell of sewage outside and the swarm of flies inside, this place should be -1/5. We were sat down and informed you can't order from the app as it was down, proceeded to wait for our waitress for 30 minutes and then was asked if we ordered yet by a different waitress. The original waitress then explained she is super busy, although hardly anyone was there. Half our group received their food, dry and flavorless. While the other half received their food 20 minutes later, cold and soaking in grease. I highly recommend driving a few more miles down the road to McDonald's, you'll have a much better experience. Ps. Also think they gave me Covid read more

Great food! AND...you have to try the pies for dessert! We had the chocolate and it was the BEST!

We were about to leave and the only thing stopping us was the bartender came over to take our order. Everything went wrong here. The food was ice cold and under cooked. We witnessed an employee pull something out of someone's food and wipe it on her clothes and proceed to serve it. We got our food before our kids got theirs and they had to wait. The cooks and waitresses were arguing in front of guests. read more

First, I need to apologize for not taking a picture of my food. The picture would've been really good but, I didn't expect it to be as good as it was. The service was really good and the food was fresh cooked which took a few minutes but, was well worth the wait. We ordered fried chicken and catfish. I would recommend both of them as well as the fried pies. Again, I would highly recommend this place. read more

Their dumplings are PERFECT! Went back to eat them one last time before we leave. Their fried green tomatoes were also amazing. Highly recommend!! It's casual and sitting outside was nice. Perfect weather. read more

The best fried shrimp in Broken Bow! This is a small diner but everything they make packs a delicious punch! I always get the fried gulf shrimp, okra, and slaw. We tried the alligator crab hush puppies this time and we will definitely be ordering them again! They have an assortment of fried pies for dessert - apricot is very good. The fried pies come with ice cream. read more

Aren't your tired of negative reviews? Let's face it no restaurant or business for that matter is perfect especially since Covid. The Bad: Understaffed and the manager was a little stressed trying to manage the business and customer expectations without the proper help. (This is NOT a show stopper for me). The Good: Our waitress was friendly, funny and still attentive to our needs given the circumstance. The Great: The fried chicken and chicken tenders were F***ing amazing! In fact it's been a week since I ate there and I can't stop thinking about the fried chicken. So don't be a jerky customer, be patient and enjoy your amazing chicken. read more

Our getaway was to include only a couple of restaurant meals. I researched well and chose The Blue Rooster as one of those. The MAIN reason that was our choice is that they advertised crawfish. I love crawfish and look for any opportunity to have some. We asked about crawfish availability as soon as we saw our waitress. She said they had them, and we placed our orders. She came back to the table and explained that, since they had just opened, it would take 20-30 minutes to get the crawfish ready. That was fine, and we were fine with that to get what we wanted. The waitress came back in a few minutes to tell us that the crawfish may not be ready at all. She had me choose something else on the menu as a backup, but only, I said, "if the crawfish definitely aren't available." Nothing else really looked inviting, with the prospect of having crawfish. I chose the catfish meal as second-best. The waitress brought our food, and put the catfish basket in front of me, with a thin apology. About 20 minutes later, I saw trays of freshly-boiled crawfish presented at seemingly every table. We had obviously been misled, and this dishonesty tainted our visit. The only reason that I have given more than one star on this review is that the waitress was attentive and friendly. I don't think that she was in on the bait-and-switch. Also, the food we did get was good (once my wife sent back her chicken and dumplings for being cold!). My family's vacation money is precious, and we choose carefully how to spend it. I am not hopeful about giving that away to The Blue Rooster again. They had one shot, and wasted it. read more

Horrible service. They said 45min wait, then when walked up to check on table after an hour, they said it would be another hour to hour and half, looked around, they continued to sit parties of 3 on tables that held 6-8, they said sorry but we should not come to Broken Bow during Spring Break it's not worth it. read more

2 stars because the fried catfish was decent and the lady that brought us our food was really nice. The rest... not good. Brother in law got a Po-boy. Had to remake after the first one had rock hard bread. The second one wasn't much better. My wife got the boiled shrimp. She could not peel them at all, as they were overcooked. Fried okra was ok, as was the Mac and cheese. Sad to say it was very underwhelming for the price paid. Would not recommend. read more

Cute place with great food and friendly staff! We ordered the 1/2 bird, Mac n cheese, and fried okra. It was delish! Sat on big patio out back...we will definitely return! read more

Something about the batter makes their fried chicken extra delicious! Probably some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. It's strange that you have to order the tenders by the pound but we decided that was a good way to have left overs for our picnic the next day. They were still almost as good then. The fries have a slight jalapeño flavor with just the right amount of crispness. Unfortunately the fries aren't as great texture as a leftover the next day so don't plan for saving some, just eat them up when fresh, warm & crispy. Don't be deterred by a line. You order in that line then get seated & pick up your order when called to the back window. All that moves fairly quickly. 1 star off because even though they keep everything 6ft apart, not all employees were wearing masks. read more

Nice place for a quick lunch. Fried pickles and fried okra were my favorites. My wife enjoyed a healthier option with the avacado salad. Good solid option for a quick comfort food lunch. read more

Couldn't get service at the bar. They do ordering through the app but not all options were available so they told us to go to the counter. We went to the counter and they just stared at us and helped everyone before us (I guess because we were a big group of women-not sure). Anyways don't go here if you want to be treated well. read more

This. Place. Was. Awesome. The service was spectacular considering we were here at prime lunch time on a summer Saturday. Food came out quickly and hot as heck too! Started with some fried green tomatoes and a half and half basket (fried pickles and jalapeños) I've never had fried green tomatoes as I hail from the West Coast and that's not really a popular dish there and I'm not mad this was my introduction to them. They were AH-MAZING!! Fried pickles and jalapeños were what you'd expect. Had these items with the boom boom sauce and ranch and both sauces were spectacular and went perfectly with the apps. For lunch we had kids fried chicken baskets with fries and one with Mac. My kids traditionally love chicken tenders and they happily gobbled these up without much encouragement from me--total win there, Blue Rooster!! My husband got the fried shrimp basket and I decided to try the fried catfish basket--another thing I've never eaten before. Both were absolutely delicious!! I usually hate tarter sauce but this one was wonderful and tasted excellent with the hot fried fish. There were hush puppies and fries that were equally as delicious. Finally had to round out my meal of firsts with a fried pie to go (yup--never had a fried pie either! I mean we have fresh seafood and the beach in CA but without the fried stuff and the green tomatoes have I ever really lived?!!) fried apple pie was seriously the best pie I've ever eaten. This place was hands down the best place I've eaten in Broken Bow so far and would happily drive the 4 hours from OKC again just to dine in this amazing establishment. Well done Blue Rooster--well done! read more

We always make a stop here when in Hochatown! This place is tradition! Great fried chicken and fish! We always order to much, but secretly glad we did! read more

Cute decorations, large patio,fun atmosphere and great for families. However - the food is subpar. I ordered the Shrimp Po'boy and a fish Po'boy - the bread was hard (a little stale) and the shrimp and fish were lukewarm. The burger was nothing special - meat was not very seasoned, the veggies are fresh and the bun was slightly toasted. I did order a plate of wings but after taking one bite - I couldn't finish it. It was horrible to say the least. (Which is a strong option but it was genuinely nasty lol) The ranch is made from scratch but it's not worth trying. However the highlight of the food is the fried pickles and hush puppies because the greatest parts' After the amount of money spent on the food and with almost all of it being cold - i'd recommend finding another family friendly dining establishment in the area! read more

Came to Broken Bow on a Sunday and restaurants were closed. It was around 820 at night when we walked in to this restaurant and I was just so happy they were even open so I give it five stars for that! Our food was good. They special on deep fried southern food. When it's deep fried you want it hot and fresh definitely not cold & soggy. My food didn't disappoint. Ordered shrimp & chicken basket. Came with fried and couple of hush puppies. They were hot and crispy just how I want my fried foods to be. Cheeseburger was good as well. They had a bar. Clean place. Waitress was nice and attentive. Definitely try this when in broken bow and will come back! read more

The limeades. Don't sleep on them. So good! Was not prepared for my po boy to come on fried bread. It was a little hard to eat. All the appetizers were good we tried nearly all of them. Good place to go for family style dining. read more

I took us a while to order right here. We all love the fried catfish and boiled shrimp. But the secret weapon here is the yard bird. Order one spicy and on regular and eat it there. If you take it to go, it's never quite the same. The speciality cocktail menu is fun too (giggle when you order if you must buy the slick kitty transports you to a beach). My husband LOVES the coleslaw. It's got apples and cheese so it's defiantly for the open minded. My kids refuse to eat everything but one loves their hamburgers and fries (they are stick fries and good!) and the other kid gets a side of Mac and cheese for herself and won't share. I like their sweet potato fries as well. Let them do what they do best- fry stuff and you won't be disappointed. Try the best you can not to stuff yourself on the yard bird (get the whole thing for your table, not just pieces. Trust me) then order the fried pies. Cherry, apple and peach are good but the apricot is epic. Remember this is a fluid vacation place that runs on lake time. The fried food is thrown in the fryer after you order it so don't be in a hurry. Sip on a slick kitty and wait for the fried goodness. read more
