Rooster's Bar & Grill

This is just what you would expect from a bar/grill located in a strip of businesses in Gardner, KS. The former "Wally's" has taken the Rooster's name but not changed any of the Wally's nostalgic memoribilia inside the bar.

Roosters is a feel good place for a beer and a some big portiioned burgers, nachos, and steaks. In this tightly knit community, most people know everyone else in the bar and it brings a sense of camraderie and friendship.

Good drink specials - 2.75 domestic bottles on Friday nights, and equally good food specials (9 dollar strip steak special on Fridays - that's crazy!)

There's a rough side to Roosters that could scare away outsiders. The men's room is complete with naked caricatures of women carved into the wood, Sharpied insults slung at community members, and Skoal waste coating the toilet rings. My wife tells me the ladies room was nice with new wallpaper.

It's quite a drive for me and I wouldn't go back under normal circumstances that didn't involve hanging out with my wife's co-workers. A good joint regardless and a fun time for all.

My extended family ate a birthday celebration breakfast at Rooster's Bar and Grill in Gardner, KS on Sunday, February 5.
While a bar and grill doesn't feel like the ideal place to grab breakfast, Rooster's seems to put on a decent show. It might be the best place left serving breakfast in G-town, as there are no traditional mom and pop breakfast shops.
There was ample seating and the restaurant was bustling with guests. Our server did a good job handling our large party of 12 and was attentive. I ordered the  1/2 order of B&G with a side of fried potatoes. There was some confusion as to what the potatoes were called (home fries, fried potatoes...IDK what they're called, they were crispy and good). The biscuit was huge.  I'm not sure if the gravy is 100 percent homemade or Sysco, but it is full of sausage and it was good.
Everyone at the table seemed to be pleased with their meals, especially the HUGE breakfast burrito (enough for at least two people).
Would I go back? Sure, the next time our family celebrates a birthday in Gardner, I'll be there.
