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.
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.
Review Source:Great home-cooked food. Terrible ambiance. lol Sometimes, you just want to stuff your face with tasty fried chicken and you could care less if the dining room looks like it's from the 80s (and looks like it hasn't been cleaned since then, too). Who cares? The chicken's so tasty, as are the slaw, baked beans and sweet tea. Nice how they give you a cute little dinner bun-- perfect for sopping up the drippings.
Ryan is such a nice young man. He waited on us and and had intelligent, nice things to say. He made the visit extra-special.
Will definitely be back!!!
This place is known for its down home crispy fried chicken...however, I love this place for their French Toast. I don't care how much butter they use or how many calories I'm consuming when it comes to certain foods. This is one of those meals. I will happily crawl out of bed Saturday morning, drive up the street in my pj's to pick up a large order of thick, buttery, melt in your mouth French Toast.
My one recommendation would be to build a privacy fence around the dumpster out front...it's just not appetizing.
a friend brought over a bucket with full sides(1 large coleslaw, 1 potato salad, 1 other) and i had never heard of this place. one bite and your hooked. never had fried chicken this good in my life. 10x better and KFC or Popeyes.
you get a lot of food for the money. a must have in the damascus area. its on the def list of sunday football food.
Not a bad lunch spot. Got a chicken salad sandwich and a fried thigh. The sandwich was good. Kinda had a relish taste to it and a bit too much mayo for my taste but huge portion. Â The chicken was ok. Reminded me of royal farms. Â Would like to try their BBQ next time. Â Bonus: they have crushed ice!
Review Source:This is a very small shop with 3 indoor tables as well as outdoor seating. The fried chicken was good-- thin batter and not heavily seasoned. Â Someone called this bland, but it was enough salt. Much better than chain restaurant fried chicken.
I do like chicken from King's Bar-B-Que Pit at the Lancster Dutch market in Germantown and think the quality is on par-- just different styles. The chicken at the Lancaster (Amish) market is humongous, and I'm assured that their chicken "are fed an all vegetarian diet, with NO antibiotics, growth stimulants, hormones, animal waste or by -products, fish meal, bakery by-products or artificial ingredients."
I wouldn't drive across the Bay Bridge for Red Rooster, but it is pretty good. :) Â The crisscut fries were good as well.
Their menu also includes burgers, hotdogs, pies, and breakfast items (which are served until 11am). It is good value, and they don't charge extra for dark meat chicken.
Looks can definitely be deceiving, and this place takes the cake. Lodged in a triangular hut, this place offers fried chicken that I haven't found to be matched anywhere. Not even the Amish Market. Yes that's right.
And it's been in business for as long as I can remember; I know my parents went there when they were little too. And they are old. So that is saying something. And my parents still eat it to this day, which is also saying something...that it hasn't gone downhill since.
Can't say anything as far as the other items on the menu, but when it comes to chicken...Red Rooster knows where it's at.
Only seating options are outside, so expect to carry out.
This place rocks! now this is what you call fried chicken. The menu is overwhelming but get the chicken first. I cant describe it ...its likeone of those things where you have to see for yourself.
The cole slaw, macaroni salad, the potato salad yum yum! I wish they made biscuits but Ill settle for the dinner rolls...but they not offer butter..but thats ok... Their pies are homemade and its yum-o! I had the boston cream pie and it was omggggggggggggggg yum-o!! they have a few tables in the dining area but the place is small. The staff is great and friendly. If your in Damascus...stop here and then take a nice long nap.
Situated in Damascus, MD this hole in the wall type of establishment is quite a diamond in the rough. Â If you are looking for a nice greasy breakfast after a night of drinking, this is your spot. Â There is also all types of other sandwiches and hamburgers on the menu. Â Everything is really inexpensive. Â
Their fried chicken is pretty good, I wouldn't say it is the best I have ever had, but its good.
Bottom line is this - This place isn't open for its ambiance. Â They are open because they have a wide selection of good, cheap, greasy food.
By far the best fried chicken ever... Â they must sprinkling some crack on it because I can't get enough... There's no way to describe it. Â Nothing comes close to the fried chicken here.
This place is a small mom and pop store.  This is the only you'll find anywhere.  As you walk  you'll see workers breading fresh chicken in their super secret crackalicious breading.  The shop is very small and is more of a carry out type of shop.  They have 2 or 3 very small table in the store.  I sat and order about 10 dollars worth of food.  The food and service was so good I left a 3 dollar tip.  I handed the 3 dollars to the young waitress and she had a "what do I do with this" type of look on her face.  I was like "that's your tip".. and she was ecstatic.  Overall a great experience.
