Red Rooster

Sorry, I don't see what all the fuss is about. The chicken is good, not great, though definitely better than anything from KFC. The skin is really crisp and the chicken is well seasoned. The sides suck, which is a downer.

The woman at the counter touted how the cole slaw was homemade, so I ordered that and baked beans as the sides w/my 3 piece meal. Got home and opened the container to find that the slaw was pure mayo. If I pick up a forkful and the dressing oozes through the tines, I don't want it. The baked beans may have been good when they were fresh but I received bottom of the bucket beans that were dry and burnt.

The bf ordered shoestring fries and onion rings for his sides. If memory serves, he said the fries tasted like they were from Shoppers. However, we both loved his perfectly crisp onion rings. I totes stole a couple when he wasn't looking!

I was really tempted to rate Red Rooster 2 stars but the helpful staff merits an extra star. The woman I mentioned before asked us if it was our first visit and how we heard about RR, and proceeded to suggest we get meals instead of the bucket we initially ordered so we could try different sides and combos.

Best damn fried chicken ever. 'Nuff said.

Red Rooster Fried Chicken is delicious (forget the chicken restaurant chains). I can't help but gobble it up along with the shoestring fries (I try to slow down to no avail). Sweet tea is yummy too. Great deal on fast food. And they are super convenient for large orders of chicken the same day.
