    Burger and fries
    Doug G.

    My wife and I had lunch here today. Good meal, had the jalapeño cheese burger with fries. The wife had the BLT with tater tots. The only concern I had was the seasoning on the burger, needed some salt and pepper but everything else was good. My wife felt like the oil needed to be changed on the fryer. Her tater tots were a little funky but I gladly shared my fries. They didn't seem to have a strange taste. I would go back. I saw a lot on my menu I would like to try.

    We loved this throwback restaurant. The prices were good and so was the food. My hamburger was huge but it was really good and I finished it all. The kids had chicken strips and French fries and loved them. We got a hot fudge sundae for the girls and I had to taste it of course. It was crazy good. The girls ate the entire thing. There was tons of memorabilia all over the walls with statues of Elvis and Marilyn Monroe inside. The service was great. We spilled some lemonade and the waitress was so nice in helping to clean it up. It's a very fun restaurant.

    Stopped in due to the name and photo's found online. The atmosphere did not disappoint! The place is very nostalgic to wander through and look at! But, don't go for the food. We had the Saturday all you can eat fried catfish. Worst catfish I've ever had, and I've had a lot. I don't think they know what seasonings are. We sprinkled on lots of salt and pepper to try and get something to taste edible because we were both starving. The pinto beans tasted like ranch style beans. The coleslaw was just off. I only had one bite and it tasted like it was going bad. The tastiest thing was the hush puppies, which I assume were frozen. Definitely stop in for the cool decor, but just have some ice cream and go somewhere else to eat.

    Retro fun atmosphere

    Food was absolutely amazing! Ambiance is fun oldies retro and they nailed it. Service they are so nice smiling and want to be here. No bad attitudes here 10/10 would recommend

    First things first, DELICIOUS AS HELL! Second, the service was great, we went here for my little brothers birthday and had a blast when the original Scooby doo intro played! There's all you can sing 50's music that fits the vibe in every way, not to mention miss Monroe with the classic fan pose in the middle of the diner. Prices are quite decent too. Recommend if you want to go somewhere for a themed part, girls night out, bachelor/bachelorette part, or even just to have fun with the family! The workers are even in theme with the restaurant, it's awesome. It's super colorful inside like one of those I-spy books you'd read at recess in fourth grade.

    My monkey was attending church camp so we drove 2 hours to drop him off. On the way there, I saw this place and the old time memorabilia caught my eye. A few days later we picked him up and he was out of the movie Nel he was speechless, burnt, and full of bug bites but THAT appetite was still there. We stopped at the restaurant and sure enough this 80s kid went Back to The Future. The servers were dressed in 50s motif and very friendly. You are totally consumed by the posters, black and white TV's, life size statues of Marlyn & Elvis. Monkey aka Nel ordered chicken strips, Mother of mokey Raspberry chicken our little rhino had kids portion chicken strips and my big belly saw the all you can eat catfish so as Betty Boop said boobo bidup CATFISH it is for me. Our server was nice and efficient with providing us with information from the menu. The portions size are awesome and worth the price. The chicken strips were huge not your regular processed size with easy breading. The Raspberry chicken was delicious according to monkeys mom. The catfish had no flavor but with pickled jalapeños and tartar sauce it made it tasty. It was all you could eat and bringing the portions took time (insert the look Lurch gives in the Adams Family) We had room for something sweet so we shared a warm apple pie and brownie Sunday which were scrumptious. The apple pie is made in-house in a warm skillet. We drove back 2 hours satisfied and Nel fell asleep in the car on the way home. If you are in the area and you are looking for good eats and nostalgia in mind Yesterday is for you. The cost $64.74 plus tip

    Fried pork chops, mashed potatoes and fried okra

    The whole restaurant had really cool decor. I was in town for a birthday trip. We actually ate there twice. Their Brownie Sundae was pretty amazing too! We were there. The customer service was beyond excellent everyone was so friendly. I will definitely return if I ever visit that town again!

    Blue Ribbon Apple Pie

    Truly authentic 50's American diner from the decor to the food! Fantastic food! The Tuesday special was"Mom's meatloaf" and it was as good, even better than my Mom's meatloaf! And all the fixins too. The best part was their special apple pie with brandy butter sauce. WOW! And we don't really like apple pie! The root beer float was just like I remember them. The service was very friendly and personable. We told them it was our first visit and everyone was actually excited to introduce us to the best items on the menu. I will return as often as possible to try everything!

Meat had a lot of flavor, & the peppers were pretty spicy. The fries were good as well My friend had the chicken bowl, & it was deliciousssss. Next time that's what I'll be getting. So much flavor, & a good option if you're trying be healthy. So props to them for adding that to the menu. The service was good, our waitress was nice. Ambiance is that of a sports bar.

Rooster's is downtown on the Main Street; easy to find right across from the county courthouse. I visited on a Tuesday afternoon and it was a bit busy but was instantly greeted, seated myself at the bar, and served a (very) cold drink immediately. I had the 2-meat plate with fries. Hot fresh fries; good smoked sausage and sliced brisket. I did as I like to do: took my time eating, visiting with the staff and local folks. I enjoyed every minute and every bite. I parked my 18-wheeler a mile away and walked into town; hadn't walked three blocks back and a local fellow stopped and says, "Can I give you a ride? It's awful hot." My kinda place.

Not a lot of "atmosphere" per se. Drinks were ordered and delivered promptly. Breakfast order took a minute; there seemed to be some confusion over which server was taking our table. BIL ordered one of the local breakfasts with all the usual: eggs, grits, toast, bacon. I opted for the veggie omelet with home fries and toast. Order took no time to be delivered. BIL finished his, and mine was the perfect portion. I hate having leftovers but this was not an overstuffed omelet, so I made short work of it. Home fries were a bit bland, but veggies in omelet were just right. Getting out of here was a challenge. Once food was delivered, we were able to watch servers talking while our drinks ran dry, and getting the check took a minute. It was good, reasonably priced and no leftovers gives it the 4-stars instead of 3, but once I'm done with breakfast, I have things to do, so no 5-stars on this one. I'm going to skip this on my next trip to Texas.

The omelette serving is big! Very generous amounts of ingredients and chunky size too! Love it! The chicken fried steak is huge! I think it's more a sharing size but if you're hungry, it's perfect for you. I'm pretty sure there'll be leftover.
