    Rolling rooster has amazing comfort-soul food! When you walk in R&B is usually playing and it's a cozy vibe inside. I'm not out this way often, so when I am I indulge. I ordered the 3 piece, 2 sides and cornbread. The fried chicken was crispy, well seasoned and very fresh! I also ordered a side of greens which weren't as good as the last time I had them but tasted fine. I also ordered cornbread which was fluffy with a hint of sweetness. Service was standard and friendly! They usually have teens working the register or serving and they did forget one of my sides. I got my order to go so I didn't realize until I got home. I'd love to try the oxtails next time I come! The RED VELVET waffles are a must!!!!

    I ordered through Uber Eats. My taste buds are dancing. Idky it took me so long to try rolling rooster. I got the 4 piece fish with 2 sides. The fish was well seasoned and still crispy even after it being delivered. It wasn't too salty but also not bland/plain. I was also pleased with the size of each piece. (In the picture, I held up some ketchup next to it to show the size) For sides I got sweet potato's and collard greens. The sweet potatoes were the right amount of sweetness and the greens were flavorful and also not bland. I didn't even need to add salt and pepper. I will definitely be ordering again!

    I went with my wife and youngest son. We really wanted to try the chicken and waffles and were able to sample the chicken wing, chicken tender and fish by ordering one of each as a 3pc & waffle. They were just flat out awesome! We went for a late lunch so there wasn't a crowd at all. Inside was clean and well maintained. The server was attentive.

    Food was great, employees were very friendly and attentive. Drinks were really good. Nice place inside as well.

    Baked Mac & Cheese

    My wife and I came in on a Saturday around 4 PM. The restaurant wasn't super busy or anything and we were able to get seated right away. Loved the throwback R&B music that was playing in the background throughout our dining experience. Definitely added to the vibe. The restaurant felt "older" inside. The restroom sticks out to me because of how dirty it was during our visit. It was pretty disgusting. Our server was very nice and attentive during our visit. I decided to order Chicken and Waffles with a side of Baked Mac & Cheese. The Mac & cheese was cheesy & delicious, and the chicken also came out with great flavor and crisp. The waffle was just okay. It tasted like it may have been laying out longer before it was topped off with chicken. It was cold and flimsy when I received it in front of me, which was disappointing. Overall we had an okay experience!

    Pork chops, collard greens and Mac and chesse

    The atmosphere was a decent vibe.The fried chicken which was bland, candy yams that tasted like the came out of a can with no sauce and you can't for the Mac and Cheese that had 5% chesse and 95% Mac. The Service was decent at first when we came in but after we decided to pack up our food and finish it at home after barely touching the food because it was that bad, the waitress then became rude to us when I asked for the check and to go box's. I don't recommend coming here.

    Came here for dinner with my boyfriend and I'm so glad I finally got to try this place out. Everything that we ordered was so so good! I got the fried fish with baked mac and cheese for my side and it was really good. The breads on the fish was super crispy! The Mac and cheese was pretty good but it came out and wasn't very hot but still good. The fried pickles here are perfect! Had a good crunch to them without the pickle being limp. They also came out super hot which I loved and the ranch was great. I tried my boyfriend's chicken and waffles and they were super good as well. Only critiques I have was that there was only one server so service was a little lacking. Otherwise I think this spot is great!

    Fried cat fish and lemon pepper wings. Yams yum yum!

    We are visiting from California and stop by accident and surprise surprise the best cat fish and fried chicken I've ever had moist in the inside crispy on the outside. The potato yams were bomb. The service was great, thee was a young girl going through training and she was very pleasant. The ambiance was casual but very clean which is huge for my husband and I. I recommend this place 109% don't miss out guys give it a chance. If I loved it believe me you are in great hands.

    Small location but very tasty food. We were told to sit wherever we like but it took about 10 mins for a server to come take drink/food orders. Despite that the food came out relatively quickly after ordering and it was hot and delicious. It's not a fancy spot by any means but worth the visit for well seasoned chicken/fish/shrimp.

    Rolling Rooster has a laid-back vibe, and the staff are friendly. They were multitasking, training someone while taking my order, which slowed things down a bit. I tried their 6-piece fried chicken which was about $20 (with fries and a tea), which felt pricey. But I have to admit, it was crispy and flavorful, with nice seasoning. Still, I couldn't shake the feeling that it was a bit too expensive for what it was. The place itself was cool, with plenty of seating and a bar. Their seasoned French fries were a highlight, they were super tasty. Overall, The Rolling Rooster has good food and a chill atmosphere, but the high prices might not be worth it for everyone.

    3 Piece & Waffle Hot Honey

    Got the Chicken & Waffles tossed in Hot Honey and it was super good! Chicken fell right off the bone and flavor was perfect. The staff was also really friendly, attentive, and helpful.

    Bland mac and cheese

    I ordered takeout via Uber Eats. I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a while, so I was really excited to finally order from here. I also paid extra for delivery so that I'd be the first stop. I ordered the "3 fish two sides" with mac&cheese and collard greens, and the "zesty fries". The fries were all hard as rocks and tasted like old grease. They were so dried out, I honestly believe they'd been sitting out all day. I added a video where I'm tapping the fries on my plate and it makes a hard knocking sound. The catfish was well seasoned, although a bit too salty. I was most excited for the Mac and cheese, but sadly it was bland. Boxed Mac and cheese is better than this. The collard greens were extremely salty and inedible. I don't know if this was an off night, but this was some truly awful food and I don't understand why there are so many 5 star reviews.

However, on this particular day, I went by the food truck at 3 pm and all their plates were sold out. They only had two pans of seafood broil at $75, which I am told would feed 4 people. The stated hours are to 7 pm. I did not plan to buy food for 4 people...just one. The food truck manager said I should have called first to check to see if they had any plates left. Well, I could have called and so that is totally my bad. However, it is a reasonable expectation that you will not run out plates of food 4 hours before closing. I am going to be less likely to patronize this business in the future.

Now the important stuff the menu... Ok who knew you could fry ribs?!?! They were on point. 4 to an order. Ribs were still moist, the batter had a crunch, and the meat fell off the bone. The dirty rice was the best dirty rice I've ever eaten. It was loaded up with seafood The smothered pork chops were 2 to an order and 2 sides served on a bed of white rice. Also very moist and great flavor, the Mac n cheese was not runny which I personally hate when it's just a runny mess, the fried cabbage also had a great flavor and it was still crunchy. The jerk chicken had great flavor but it was ordered as mild (not by me) and it definitely needed the heat/spice,the jumbalaya side was also tasty We also got the hot Cheetos boudin balls (I forgot to take a picture) they were huge and not spicy at first bite the heat sneaks up on you. The strawberry crunch cake was a big slice and reminded me of strawberry cake doughnut but that banana pudding was also probably the best banana pudding I've ever eaten.

The flavors were on point, well-seasoned, and cooked with care. I especially enjoyed the fried chicken, the cabbage, and those black-eyed peas--pure comfort food done right. I do want to share one note for transparency. The catfish entrée came with one piece of fish. It was a nice size (unfortunately I didn't grab a picture), but I'm used to receiving two fillets with a catfish entrée, so that part was a little disappointing for the price. We also ordered a catfish sandwich to go, and while this didn't take away from the overall experience, an additional piece of fish would better match expectations. Now let me give credit where it is absolutely due. The young woman working the front--Ariel (I believe it's spelled A-R-I-E-L, and I apologize if I missed that)--was phenomenal. She was cashier, to-go coordinator, and full-on mama energy, handling everything with grace, patience, and a great attitude. Even as it started getting busy (you know how folks roll in after church), she still made space for friendly chit-chat while keeping everything moving. Another thing I truly appreciated: the place was clean. And for me, that matters. Spotless, inviting, and the only thing in the air was the smell of that delicious food--no distractions, no off-putting odors, just good cooking doing what it's supposed to do. The food is served in to-go containers and everything is cooked to order, so expect a little bit of a wait--but honestly, who would mind waiting for food prepared this fresh? Overall, this was a great experience with great food and excellent service. I'll definitely be back--and hopefully next time there's just a little more catfish on the plate.

As a family-owned restaurant, it has a welcoming, community feel and when the DJ gets going on weekends or R&B/Soul nights on Fridays, the place really comes alive.

The seafood dishes deliver on that authentic Cajun flavor, seasoned well and satisfying for anyone craving Southern comfort food with a kick. That said, the atmosphere can be a bit much depending on what you're looking for. The music gets very loud - great for the vibe, but not ideal if you're trying to have a conversation across the table.

Unfortunately the griddle or pan the eggs were cooked on wasn't cleaned nor seasoned properly bc he took one bite and instantly noticed a "metal flavor" only for us to flip both eggs over and can physically see metal color covering the bottom of both eggs. Super disappointing but we notified the staff and they offered to remake them. Of course my son wasn't trusting and chose not to have them remade. We were refunded $3.50 for the eggs.
