Everything was good especially the service and the inside is so neat in there as well and loved the music especially, felt like I was at home, eating some good ol soul food. I will definitely recommend here and I will be coming back (: read more

My lawd! Sampler #3 is what you want; wings, fish and shrimp. No FOMO. This food is expertly seasonedt!! I just wish the shake used to flour the chicken and fish was for sale. And don't judge us, but we are taking orders back to Cali! The service was very good, neither absent nor cloying. I am definitely keeping this in rotation for when I'm in Austin again. read more

My first time coming, came here for the weekend from Houston for my girl bday! The food was good everything I had was hitting, service was slow though but every one was nice!! Im willing to come back again! Edit: The platter comes with 2 wings and I got a flavor and ordered a to go. I asked why its a dollar higher for each food item from what the menu says; she said the kitchen says its a dollar extra for sauce. There was no where on the menu that said sauce was extra or nor did they say it was extra verbally. So its like I'm paying extra $2 for sauce that wasn't stated. Yes its only $2 I don't care if is .50 it needs to be said. Also my to go order was wrong had to get it fixed. Food was good though. read more

Went in for lunch for the first time ordered chicken tenders and waffles it was great. Very friendly staff . Great food. Great service.

Hadn't had a good meal in a couple of weeks so I figured the only cure for that was some delish soul food...and the Rolling Rooster did not disappoint! I brought the family and the first thing I noticed was the Kool-Aid machine. Instant star there. We ended up ordering the family meal with the fried catfish, fried wings (each piece is a big leg/wing), and sides of Mac and cheese, collard greens, hush puppies, and fries. The fried catfish was excellent. It didn't taste like mud, the batter was light and the inside was juicy. Each piece was big too so one was already filling. The wings were also excellent. The batter was light and had a nice crisp, and the right amount of seasoning. The Mac and cheese was probably the best side -- creamy, cheesy, and had a little kick to it. The kids loved the fries and the hush puppies had good seasoning. The only side I would pass on next time would be the collard greens which tasted canned. Overall, great experience and the service was friendly. I'm glad we went there in person; I'm big on getting food delivered, but for this kind of food, it's best to eat it in the restaurant. I wish I had pictures, but everything was so good we forgot to! read more

SHORT STORY Your typical small business chicken & waffle joint. Food was good! Casual environment. I can see it growing into something bigger. Not sure about TX alcohol law but seem like they weren't serving alcohol on Sunday, I don't know I wasn't ordering any to ask. Also, wish they played more variety in the music but it wasn't a factor it wasn't rowdy, just Summer Walker's greatest hits mix lol (Dig in them crates) Order: sampler platter 3 1 waffle 2 wings 2 fish 2 shrimp LONG STORY I saw the Chicken & Waffle sign on the back of the building while driving so I had to do a little research and hit it up. Went on a Sunday around 12 noon, not looking for a brunch vibe but really just goin to eat. The place wasn't packed at all, which was very surprising to me, hence why I said I could see it growing, but honestly glad it wasn't packed. Didn't take long to get service or the food, but it was really just 2 girls working so if it was packed, they'd be in trouble. But the food was pretty good. I decided to get a sampler plate just to try a variety of things just to see. Everything was good. The waffle was cooked perfectly not too soft and not too hard. The fish was pretty good and the shrimp were fried harder than I would've like but they where good. The wings were good as well, however, I wish they were seasoned a bit more. I didn't have it, but my friend said the macaroni and cheese was really really good, had bacon in it and all. The vibe could be better, I don't know how it is other days but if they advertised, brought in a DJ along with the food and drinks I can see it being a hot spot, but it's ducked off in a corner in a aged empty shopping center, so maybe not too many people know about it. I had a good experience altogether, hopefully you will too! I'd go back when I'm in the Austin area. read more

The food and service are beyond amazing! Our server, Ms. Jania was nothing short of wonderful! The vibe made me feel like I was a kid again, and I was back in my old neighborhood in the eastside of Austin! The OG eastside of Austin! Practically, it made me feel at home! I'm definitely coming back because the chicken and waffles were delicious! My wife really enjoyed her 3 piece with 2 sides of hushpuppies and mac & cheese! read more

Visited The Rolling Rooster today after service. Let me tell you all about the food (forgot to take a picture ‍). The food was very good. I had the sampler plate #2, with fried chicken, fried catfish, fried shrimp, collard greens, baked Mac and cheese, and corn bread " DELICIOUS!" Everything was delicious, hot, freshly cooked and tasted soooo good . The service was excellent as well, I believe the waitress name was Jade or Jane (my apologies for not getting it right) BUT she was very attentive to our needs and was knowledgeable about the menu. The sweet tea was "SWEEEEET!" All I wanted today was some good ole fashioned southern comfort food and that is exactly what I received Only reason I didn't give this restaurant 5 stars is because they really need to upgrade their dinning area. The booths were torn and taped together. Other than that, the restroom was clean and the toilet worked I am definitely going to visit them again, may do a take out order next time. read more

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

Seated fast for dine in, quick order and drinks. Old school and R&B music makes for casual dining. Ordered jalapeño poppers, they tasted cold inside and the jalapeños were tough. Tried to bite into it and couldn't. When I ate the whole jalapeño a bunch of hot water came out indicating that possibly they were made in advance, frozen then deep fried. I'd have waited for ones that weren't pre-prepped the taste was there. Not impressed with that but when our meals arrived, wow! Food was a hit! Hit, delicious and I'd have given a 5 star review except for the appetizer bombs. Okra, onion rings, tenders and catfish best I've had since coming to Austin. I can see the wings on others tables and they are huge! We only ordered a two piece and one side apiece and starving when we arrived. We WILL be back! Gotta check out more on this menu! read more

The Rolling Rooster - Just inside the door! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Austin, Texas

Ordered through Uber Eats. Things I tried, and my ratings: Chicken and catfish combo (2 sides) -Onion rings 3/5 - probably a little soggy due to transport. -Mac and cheese 4/5 - very tasty, not to soggy and not to dry. - Catfish 3/5 - cooked very well and had a good crunch but definitely needed more seasoning. -Chicken 2/5 - I love fried chicken, but these wings were so bland that it was like I was eating straight cornmeal. Just like the catfish though, good crunch and good cook on them. My add-ons were the best part: -Shrimp 5/5 - I should have gone with catfish and shrimp instead of chicken. For some reason these were popping with flavor. -Jalapeno poppers 4/5 - You can tell these aren't store bought. Not very spicy yet maintain a very natural pepper flavor. Overall, I'm not sure what all of the hype is on Yelp for this place. read more

Our monthly supper club picked Rolling Rooster for our August gathering. Oh my goodness we had such a great time and eat so much we forgot to take pictures. We started with they're gizards and fried pickles. Oh, be still my heart. The 12 of us ate shrimp, fish, waffles pork chops, collard greens, fried okra, Rice with gravy and chicken tenders. I can't say enough about how great the food was. Ms. Dee you are the best at multi tasking. You ran the register, greeted people, took orders, served our food and everybody got a smile. We shall return. read more

CHICKEN AND WAFFLE HEAVEN!!! Good drinks. Great Service. Nice people. Good Ambiance and music. The Drinks hit the SPOT. What more could you ask for? So I live not far from this restaurant in a huge parking lot that is largely empty outside of basically the fast food places and then this Gem tucked away in a corner. I walk in with my girlfriend, we are greeted immediately with a smile by Shaunte, who quickly seated us and provided menus. With a few tables on her hands, it only took a few minutes for her to get back to us to take our orders. Again, with a smile. She graciously took my order and I took her recommendation for the Dizzy Rooster for sipping pleasure. Me and my friend got the same thing. Well - almost. She got the 3 tenders/2 waffles I got the 3 wings/2 waffles. We both got the same drink. The Waffles were nice and flaky on the outside... but warm and soft on the inside. I am honestly not a big waffle fan.... but I was totally BLOWN AWAY. Combined with the crispy flavorful chicken wings. Yes. This was a win. They even have a reverse happy hour from 9-11 on some days during the week. With both drink and food specials! I will be a regular here. There is nothing like this in Austin. YUMMMMMY! read more

I hadn't eaten rolling rooster in so long and I remember what I was missing immediately. I love the feeling of black owned quality service, as well as the authentic recipes for the food.

So I just tried this place for the first time via DoorDash. I was specifically craving collard greens and rice and gravy. I did a search and this place popped up. I'm so glad it did, this captured my taste expectations especially being in Austin. I ordered 4 wings with a side of greens and an extra side of rice and gravy. The food was delicious I appreciate that they cooked with turkey bits. The gravy was flavorful, I caught myself licking my bowl (since I was home). The wings were seasoned well and fried the way I like. The quality of meat was there. I even was able to order a margarita during their hh special and it was so good with the right amount of flavor and liquor. I'm definitely keeping this place in rotation and plan to visit in person next time. I am truly satisfied with my food. read more

The food was excellent, especially the fish and chicken. The portions for the sides were generous, and the homemade onion rings were fantastic! I ordered by phone, and my food was ready on time, so I can't comment on wait times or dining in. I'm going back for the chicken and waffles. 10/10 for me. read more

Great food, service, and atmosphere! Z was awesome! Some of the best chicken and waffles I've had in Austin!

Visited for the first time today, had some friends in town and they wanted to check out Rolling Rooster. Very cozy, homey place. Service was friendly and attentive, albeit a little slow. However, we were able to overlook that last aspect as our group was focusing on catching up and watching the Texans/Cowboys game, which they gladly put on the big screens for us to watch. Mimosas were tasty, our group had a few combo plates, mostly chicken/fish and various sides. I was the lone person who ordered the chicken and waffles. It's a classic combo for a reason y'all! That was my main reason for visiting...lol it did not disappoint. 3 full wings, a waffle and cheese grits. You can tell that the chicken and fish is fried to order. Everything came to our table piping hot and golden crisp. This is not fast food by any stretch. However, it was freshly made and delicious. Our waitress checked on us throughout and even brought my friend a piece of cake when she overheard us mention her birthday. So very sweet of her! Only downside? I was not a fan of having to fight cutting my waffle with flimsy disposable plasticware. It really took away from the eating experience. Please upgrade to a heavier/heavy duty plasticware, it was not fun trying to eat with what is currently available. All in all, I'll definitely return soon for those wings! read more

The Rolling Rooster - Piece Of Fish - Chicken Wings Near Me - Austin, Texas

Oh em gee, if you are ever in North Austin and get cravings for some delicious fried chicken, look no further than The Rolling Rooster. My colleague showed me this spot a few years ago and I have been a huge fan ever since. I have yet to find an instance where the chicken skin isn't crispy; and the inside nice and moist. I don't know what kind of seasoning they use, but it has a delicious flavor on every bite. For a great price , you can order a combo meal that includes 1 or 2 sides. I would highly recommend the Mac n cheese, rice and gravy, and waffle fries. I mean where can you even find a waffle fry option anymore!?! I'll give you one hint: Rolling Rooster! The one minor setback is service and timing. It's definitely not the server's fault, but they have always appeared to be slightly understaffed with how popular this place can get for a late lunch. They usually have The Chive and football on which always makes for entertaining watch when you go with people who don't make good conversation.... Haha read more

Staff was super friendly. Wings and waffles were great, especially the red velvet waffles. I'm technically supposed to be the gizzards. And fried okra. We're some of the best i've ever had. Catfish was also excellent. Can't wait to go back. read more

I love it, they have great vibes. Time I win I had a fun time. I definitely recommend to all my friends and family.

First time visit today. I had the shrimp and two sides. Hubs had the chicken and waffles. It's a dark little joint with good food. I found the greens and Mac n cheese delicious but it a bit salty. The fried shrimp was perfect! Hubs loved his waffle and chicken tenders. Yummy soul food. read more

The Rolling Rooster - 7 Large Shrimp and 2 Sides Plate Waffle and chicken 4 Tenders and Waffle Plate - Chicken Wings Near Me - Austin, Texas

Loved everything I ordered, shrimp, catfish, chicken combo. The price is on the high end, paid $19 for 4 shrimps, 2 fish, 1 chicken and 2 sides. I wanted to try a little of each. Would definitely get the shrimp and fish again, love the seasoning on the batter. It's located at the corner of Wells Branch pkwy and Mopac in a kinda unpopulated shopping center with a McDonald's. I'm not in this area often, only when I have a dog grooming appt. But I might have to make a trip back without a grooming appt because I love fried catfish! read more

I'm so disappointed in this restaurant. How do you let your customers order, make them wait two hours, then give them nothing of what they ask for? I ordered a wing plate with fried okra and Mac & cheese and banana pudding for dessert. Tell me why they gave me a plate of mashed potatoes and gravy, burned waffle fries, and 1 fried pickle??? If they didn't have the food I wanted, that's all they had to say. All this place has to offer is false promises and burned food nobody asked for. Save your money. read more

Soul food. We had chicken strips & a side. They have waffle fries. Service was good. They have booths.

I believe our servers name was Z. Super nice, quick and accommodating. The chicken wings so so good! Fried perfectly and the flavor is just right, perfect amount of salt. I also tried the fried fish and ate every last bit of it. Highly recommend! read more

I give this place 5 stars hands down! I had the hot honey chicken and it was some of the best sauce I've had, Mac and cheese great flavor and wasn't runny. To top it off, our server Rae was very attentive and made sure our party of 14 was attended. Will definitely be visiting again. 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
