gross! chicken was not cooked all the way through. Like it was still bloody. When I took it back in the front counter girl says "let me see it" yall no lie she used her ungloved fingers moving the chicken around. The first time coming I dined in food was great!! Service and server was amazing hence why I drove all the way from MANOR. Needless to say I pay that extra $10 for Sips on Wheels! read more

The Rolling Rooster - Chicken Wings Near Me - Austin, Texas

I went yesterday around 6pm for dinner with my husband and a friend. We'd gone there specifically because we had chicken-and-waffles on the brain, so we all ordered the 2-piece tendies with waffles. The chicken tenders were REALLY good. Waffles were small, flat, room temperature, and looked pre-made or store-bought. The waffles tasted just fine but look- that chicken is so good it DESERVES to be paired a better waffle than that. Our meal was suuuuuuuper delicious though. Our friend who came with us is a soux-chef and was *delighted* with the chicken. While looking around I noticed their happy hour specials posted at the bar and ordered a BlueRoo and it was good, but we were sad that our waitress hadn't mentioned the happy hour to us at all. $5 for a big glass of boozes? Count my Louisiana ass in!!! At least we got one drink ordered before happy hour was over. My only "real" complaint is that the floor is so oily I nearly busted my ass just walking to our table. Watching the wait staff work in flip flops on that floor made my blood pressure spike out of worry for them lol. That aside, I'm visiting family in Monroe this weekend and I'll definitely talk up Rolling Rooster's chef from Monroe, who cooked our excellent meal. We'll definitely be regulars in future so I hope they don't ding me for my small criticisms here. They're doing great work! read more

We loved it here! We got the pork chop plate with rice and gravy, and fries and then the sampler plate of wings, tenders, catfish Both were amazing! Their pina colada was so yummy and the music was on point the entire time we were there. read more

Shame on me for not taking a single picture. The food smelled amazing and everyone dug in. It was our first (but DEFINITELY not last) time! We ordered: 1. 4 chicken tenders with a 1/2 red velvet and 1/2 buttermilk waffle meal - So good! 2. 1 order of fish and fries with fries and macaroni 3. 1 order of fish and fries with hush puppies and onion rings 4. 1 order of shrimp and grits They know how to season and fry. Nothing was even the tiniest but greasy. That's hard when you're making fried food. It was hot, crisp and not greasy. They seasoned everything well and even though they sent sauces to go with the items, the food was so tasty that we didn't need them. The fish was exceptional. My son gobbled up the shrimp and the sides were all executed well. The only disappointment were the grits. They were bland and we didn't enjoy them BUT the rest of the food was so good that they still get 5 stars! The woman on the phone was kind, helpful and had wonderful customer service. We live pretty far away but the food was still fresh and hot when we got home! Try this place. Get the chicken or fish. You won't be disappointed. read more

There was a hair in my food (looked like a beard hair not my hair texture regardless). I called to let them know and they refunded the banana pudding. As if I want to bite in the yams or eat anything else. $47 waisted a fully refund should have been given. I did eat the Mac and cheese it was good but I feel sick to my stomach from seeing the hair and tossed everything out. First and last time trying unfortunately. read more

I came here for their first time after having a fried chicken craving. I came here around lunch time on a Saturday it wasn't crowded. There was plenty of parking as it's inside of a strip mall. There's plenty of indoor seeting and a bar inside as well. I ordered the 2 piece wings and 4 piece shrimps with waffle fries. I was blown away by the taste of the chicken wings. The seasonings in the chicken was very uniquely flavored. The skin was fried very crispy. I highly recommend the fried chicken here it is very good. The shrimp was also very good. It was lightly bread and fried perfectly. The passion fruit frozen margarita was good, however I didn't taste any liquor however. Service was good. I'm definitely looking forward to come back here regularly when I want some fried chicken. read more

The customer service at this restaurant is top tier. They are customer focused and prioritizes customer service. I love when I am valued and appreciated as a customer. To me, that says you are not just a dollar bill, but like family. Customer service goes a long way and many businesses devalue this very important aspect of running a business. read more

We decided to try The Rolling Rooster for lunch on Sunday. The food was 10/10. However the service was very slow even though there were only two costumers before we sat down , it did take a while for the server to come by and greet us. Once we ordered the food came out quickly but after the food was on the table, no one came to check on us to see if we needed refills or if we were ready for our bill. We were at the table for about 45 minutes to an hour . We decided to get up and request for our bill & pay. Once we got the copy of the receipt we apparently paid for someone else's bill ($83). We attempted to get the server to fix the bill then she came back to tell us our actual bill was only $1 off ($84) so we could just leave it as paid if we wanted to. We decide that was fine leave it as is, but once we got our actual bill they added a 15% gratuity to the bill. No where does it say an auto gratuity would be added to a table of 2. Our bill should had only been $73.84. After we asked about the the gratuity the server then advised that gratuity is added to all bills but the one we paid didn't have one added.. There were additional customers that were placing orders in between our order but we did not see the server again until the bill was going to be corrected. Overall the food was good, the vibe was nice they probably just need more help. read more

Food is delicious, good vibes on the inside. The staff is very nice and accommodating ! 10/10

The important part of the meal was the ox tails for me, they were smaller than i like but the taste was great and they were perfectly cooked. I has one wing (seasoning was the star), corn bread (sweet and moist) and a poece of chicken. You guessed it. Cooked perfectly. I cant wait to go back read more

I had previously given this place in amazing review, and through the course of the last couple of years their service has definitely gone down. The restaurant really is looking rundown, dirty and really shows a lack of attention. My wife and I went for brunch today after church, they only had one server working. It took her 10 minutes to take a drink order three to return with it and when she returned she said she couldn't take our food order yet. She returned another 10 minutes later to take her food order. The food finally came out about 20 minutes later or more, and it was the wrong order. She took it back and returned about five minutes later to let us know that they no longer had what we had ordered, but immediately asked if we wanted to talk to the manager. I offered to pay for the tea we had ordered so we could just leave. It really seems like they were so focused on the phone orders that they forgot to take care of their dine in customers. Maybe they should should just close their dine in part of their business because they're not very good at it. I won't return read more

The lemon pepper wings weren't what I would've chosen to go with waffles but it was still delicious. The mac and cheese was somehow still creamy despite being baked. The banana pudding didn't seem to be fully set which was disappointing given that it was $7 but I overall enjoyed the experience. Service was quick and there was Nickelodeon on the TV so I enjoyed watching Avatar while enjoying my meal. I didn't love struggling to cut my waffle with the plastic silverware so really I'd give this place 4.5 stars but I'd absolutely go back again. I was happy to find a place in Austin with good food and relaxing vibes. read more

I decided to go here today.. I paid $38 for an Oxtail 2-side dinner. Unbelievably ridiculous! There were to SMALL oxtail and three miniature ones on top of rice and a hunk of rice a scooped glob of gravy. In my order I had two sides of collard greens. This was nothing lest that Highway robbery! I've said before being that this city is not known for down south or soul food and being that this type food is not hardly prevalent these orders serve however and whatever they choose. They have no competition so it matters not even what they charge. BUT one thing I do know,,...you are only getting away with thievery and manipulation for now...YOU WILLBE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. Mark my words! AND...The oxtail is not good there! It's chewy and tasteless...YUCK!!! If you desire a good oxtail May I suggest....Tony's Jamaican or Whip My Soul in Austin I have lived and travelled all over the nation, and this is crap! read more

I came to this spot with Thing One the last time after a long day of medical appointments. Of course, he wanted the whole menu which was not an option. The grub: Combo (two tenders, two fish and one side) The qualities of the best fish for frying are that they have a neutral flavor and they are lean. Frying fish can seem deceptively simple. Take this recipe snippet for example: "Cut in pieces, salt and roll in corn meal; fry in hot oil 'til brown." That one sentence is the entirety of the preparation instruction. When it's done right, you might think that's all there is to it. But when it goes wrong, you wonder what happened. Even though there are few parts, each element - the breading, the oil, the fish, the cooking temperature - is important to the final outcome. Luckily, here, each element to making a good piece of fried fish is on par. The chicken tenders for this combo were a bit tough but not tough enough to deter me from eating it. The side for this dish (collards), is always a favorite as they are rich in many vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, and eating it regularly might reduce your risk of developing certain diseases. These collards were flavorful and added a great green element to this fried platter. Pork Chop Sandwich (sauced) This item is truly a chunk of pork and bone nirvana as it was perfectly smoked, perfectly tender, perfectly seasoned, sticking out of two perfectly plain buns and soaked (you must ask for the chop to be sauced/soaked). The onion rings for this dish were perfectly crisp and served a great pairing to this slap-yo-momma porkchop sando. #supportlocal read more

First time here won't be the last! We ordered the 12 pc family pack with 4 sides. We chose 4 ea. Of the wings, strips and fish, baked mac & cheese, yams, hush puppies, and onion rings. Oh, we highly recommend adding a waffle to your order, you won't regret it. Food took a bit because it is made fresh and you could tell! Everything was cooked perfectly. The oil is obviously clean and you could tell when biting I to that juicy tender! The wings are large and come breaded with the flap and drumettes still attached. I'm not a catfish fan but even the fish was delicious! The sides were also tasty. The only thing We wouldn't order again is the onion rings but that's because we prefer them breaded, not battered. Service was also great! Zee took care of us and was kind and attentive. We also enjoyed the music being played. Can't wait to go back. read more

went in on 3/11/26. food was really good and everything was cooked perfectly i got the sampler 2 wings 2 fish and a waffle i wanted to try the waffle i love a good chicken waffle combo but i think next time ill try their sides instead. waffle was delicious but i personally prefer a crispier texture. our server was really nice and answered any questions we had and she checked on us often. the music was a vibe and we enjoyed hearing some 90s R&B we haven't heard in awhile so ambiance 10/10 we will definitely be back ! read more

This is a down-home, Southern style cooking joint. Don't expect to get right in and out if you're a large table. Be patient! RE: slow food movement. and it was SO worth the wait. The jams and vibes are immaculate. I asked the restaurant manager to turn down the music at one point because my ADHD caused sensory processing issues with group conversation. He was super respectful and turned it down right away, so I could focus on the talking again. Delicious wings (whole bone-in), flavorful hot sauce with just the right level of spice, tasty collard greens, and banana pudding like my Nana used to make it. Don't miss Rolling Rooster y'all! read more

I visited twice in less than five days, so I was very impressed with what I ordered. The restaurant had a nice vibe with old school R&B playing, which was nice while I waited for my order. My food was hot and very tasty. The fried chicken was my favorite because it was very simple and fried hard. The waffle was soft and had a great flavor. The sides were yummy as well as the peanut butter dessert thingy. I was very thrilled that the greens weren't made with pork. I also became a fan of gizzards as that was my first time trying them ever. If I had any callouts, it would be that the restaurant is sort of dark, and it would be great if the staff had tshirts or something saying they work there. read more

This review covers their customer service, cleanliness and poor management. Most visits I expect the customer service to be awful. The waitstaff consist of young adults with no prior knowledge or skills in customer service: no introduction, no refills on drinks, and no one comes to check on you while or after dining. The photo I added is of two, of the plethora of flying insects that were dining as well on Wednesday, July 5th. My family and I were constantly swatting flies and gnats our entire visit. The table behind us was never cleaned (wipe down and swept) after several children of staff workers ate McDonald's. The mens restroom also had no hand soap! We informed them and no one ever attended the restroom. Gross! The place has so much potential but due to poor management, they will never meet basic standard. read more

My husband and I have been looking for a wing place since moving to Austin. THIS PLACE IS IT! Literally don't go anywhere else. The service was fantastic, out host was so nice and everything came out in a timely fashion. Everything was SO fresh. The hush puppies were the best I've ever had and I get them everywhere I possibly can. Words can't even describe the wings--just perfect in every way possible. Crispy, juicy, and flavorful. Basically, just get your a** here and get some wings. read more

The food by far the best fried chicken and waffles I have ever had...whoever is in the back cookin needs a raise. The okra,beans,fish, the shrimp gawd damn Everything on the menu honestly is so f*cking good I told them I'll be there maybe once a week or every other week. The staff is very welcoming and the atmosphere is amazing. HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone read more

My kids were clamoring for chicken & waffles, so I pulled up Google Maps and found the nearest spot with good reviews, which was Rolling Rooster. Let me tell ya, it was some tasty comfort food! The interior and ambiance was nothing special, but the service was great and the food was A+. I got 4 wings, which were full-size and quite filling. Their seasoning was borderline sweet--I had never really tried anything quite like it. The rice & gravy and okra sides were great too. I would certainly recommend. read more

I had a pretty disappointing experience at brunch this past weekend. I've been here before and previously received excellent service from the owner herself. I understand she's incredibly busy, but if you're the only one serving, it might be better to limit the number of tables to ensure customers aren't left waiting--I even saw several families walk out without being acknowledged. Our meal fell short on several fronts: our food order was incorrect, our drinks didn't arrive until after our food, the water was carbonated, and the food was overcooked--even though we all ordered nearly the same thing. To make matters worse, during flu season the bathroom was missing essential supplies like towels and toilet paper. When we brought these issues up, nothing was comped; perhaps a small discount of 10-15% would have been appropriate. Instead, we were unfairly accused due to an issue with another party and ultimately left without resolution. We had high hopes, waited it out, and still paid full price for a meal we couldn't enjoy. I truly hope this business gets the help it needs to improve. read more
