Roosters

Their onion feathers are amazing! My boyfriend and I love eating and hanging out here :) He always gets their wings plain with donkey sauce on the side and they’re superb! A++

Have been coming to Roosters for years. This location is heads and shoulders better than others in Columbus. Service is excellent — we had Olivia and she was super friendly & efficient!

Roosters is what it’s name says — fun, casual, dining joint. It is a place where you drop in anytime with friends and family. I really like their Chicken Wings. I haven’t had Chicken wings as good as theirs anywhere else. Also the prices are so reasonable that I tend to get greedy about food every time I enter Roosters :-)

I like to visit this location for lunch. Even though they are normally busy you can usually find a decent table.
The staff is always nice and speedy.
Food usually is hot and juicy. Never really had an issue with it.
I will continue to visit This location.

We love Rooster’s.
Good, albeit mostly fried and fattening food at fine prices. Strong drinks. Plenty of TVs, and cute, funny sayings all over the walls.
I pretty much grew up on that other wing place — BW3 — because they had a location near my dorm at Ohio State.
And you know what??? I genuinely like Rooster’s better. Roosters’ menu is broader, and their wings are definitely much meatier than those skinny little barely-​any-​meat wings at BDub.
Roosters is better folks. Now go get some wings…

Got yet chicken fingers. They were tasty but SMALL. One was barely bigger than the mini cup of sauce. May have been one piece cut into two. About the size of a small wing

I love the staff and the food. Best sauces. Seems like every time we go there we see friends and we stay past our meal. Fun place for sure.

Great atmosphere and the servers are always courteous and prompt! The food is always great! Make this your Rooster’s stop!

Im going to just go ahead and give it five stars. I moved to Columbus 10 years ago, and discovered this place around that time. I think for a sports bar, it does the job well. They have TV’s, nice dim lighting for watching the games, and an atmosphere that supports it. I havent ran into too many issues in terms of food or service, most people have been really friendly. I even attended the soft opening of the Hilliard location, and had a blast being apart of it. My overall feeling is the the menu is fair priced and the food aligns with it. Just the other day I paid for myself and another person, and for around $ 30 we got: iced tea, tall cider, two orders of 5x wings, ranch, a pepperoni pizza, cheese quesadilla, and a Italian sub. Ive been to multiple locations through Columbus, they were all clean, presentable, and friendly.
P. S. I put a quarter in the Reese’s Pieces machine on Henderson and got a nice handful of them. It may have been a fluke, or no one has noticed yet. So dont forget to bring a quarter and grab some on the way out.

Like any place, sometimes mistakes are made, like when my husband and I get a burger, and he ends up with mine (we like them cooked differently), or maybe if you get a BLT the bacon might be too done. But the great thing is that if there is a problem, the management will make it right. We’ve always gotten friendly service, and considering how busy they are, the service is pretty timely. We’ve never experienced dirty tables or benches/​seats, and they always greet you when you come in and when you leave. My favorites are Bob’s Big BBQ burger, any of their chicken sandwiches, the buffalo chicken pizza, the dumpster fries… really, it’s all good.

I’ve always loved Roosters because the food (American, fried foods, burgers, wings, pizza) is amazingly affordable. They are my go to spot for quick and delicious take out. Everything I’ve had has been good, and when it doesn’t meet expectations, it was quickly fixed by a replacement being offered. I have had a bad experience or two, but if you speak up to a manager, it is quickly compensated with credits to your check and even a return gift certificate if needed. They have a dedicated fan who won’t stop going for just one bad experience out of 100!

Best Roosters in the city.

Great prices, comfortable atmosphere, food pretty decent… but I’ll pay 5 bucks to anyone who can find an actual clam piece in their clam chowder. In fact it didn’t taste like clam chowder, it was more like a creamy dill soup. Not saying it was horrible, but since it wasn’t what I was expecting — which is CLAM chowder — I wasn’t happy with it.
Everything else was fine. I had the fish sandwich. The fish was hot and crispy and my son and his cousin liked their burgers. If you want sides, though, you have to order them separate, their sandwiches don’t come with fries or other sides like most places. I thought that was a little odd, but no biggie, since their prices aren’t outrageous.
Going back soon, there are other dishes of theirs I’d like to try.

I’d never been to a Rooster’s before this week. I think my impression of it was unfairly biased. I’m glad I finally gave it a shot!
I had definitely read a review for this location that said something like «the chicken was undercooked» and must have said to myself, «NOPE, never!» I have 0 interest in food poisoning, and I thought I was doing myself a favor. Turns out I was doing myself a huge disservice!
We came in on a Tuesday. I wasn’t feeling all that hungry, so I got an order of fried mushrooms and an Angry Orchard. My boyfriend got an order of potato skins and a burger with bacon on it.
My fried mushrooms were SO hot when they came out (a good thing, in my book). The breading was a little different than what I’m used to, but they were still good. They were one of the appetizers on special, so I think they were something like $ 2. What really impressed me, though, were the potato skins. I’ve had potato skins at the Winking Lizard that are basically tasteless, and made me think I don’t like them that much. The potato skins here were bursting with flavor! I could really taste the bacon, for example, which I loved.
Our service was fine. The waitress was attentive, but not overly so. There were quite a few families with kids, but they weren’t very loud or noisy.
My angry orchard was HUGE and something like $ 4. Our total was around $ 20. So awesome! Leaving full and slightly buzzed (lightweight problems) I kept talking about how impressed I was with Rooster’s.
I would definitely come back, and sometime soon!

I would call it your average Rooster’s experience by all accounts. The service and food were great at lunch today!

My wife and I were raised in the Columbus area but recently had to move out of state due to work. There is nothing I miss more than Roosters. Still my favorite restaurant.

I visit this Roosters location semi-​regularly; latest was just the other day. So my notes are fresh in mind. Here they are:
Plus: Food and drink are CHEAP here. This, and the quality of the fried chicken tenders and certain other items (salads, for example) are why I come to Roosters. Can’t say it has really changed over time either; very consistent. And when the mood strikes, get the mini corn-​dogs.
Minus: The staff doesn’t seem to communicate well, and so you may get the wrong item or wait an unusually long time for food that may be sitting in the window. Also, I don’t think they have normal french fries, only curly fries or potato wedges. And the curly fries are never ever crispy. Booooo.
The one really contentious issue: The wings. You’ll either love em, or hate em. They’re breaded. The sauces below the standard hot are pretty meh. And there’s the issue of doneness. When I last visited they even had a sign at the front host table regarding getting wings ‘well done’. People, chicken is either done or it’s not. And I’ve had wings there which were not, so I no longer order them. So ‘your mileage may vary’, depending on how you like your wings.
Atmosphere: At dinner, the place will be very full and very noisy.
3 stars for cheap eats and beer (beer: modest draft selection, some crafts, nothing too crazy). That’s what Roosters is, no more, no less.

I am glad that this Roosters off Henderson Road had finally taken down its corny, borderline sexist signs that use to litter the walls. Jokes like «you can take anything home, but the staff» always made me feel awkward while walking in alone to fritter an hour away on a blue Sunday, as if I had shuffle in to a strip club. I am not a prude by any means (ask the staff at Kahoots) but I’d rather not be framed as an oogler when all I want is some greasy grub to nurse a post-​game hangover. So I thank the management for that.
About the above: Roosters had alway tried to be a mild version of Hooters. Abandoning that, it’s a decent wings-​sports chain that bills itself as a causal joint. To me it is more of a smaller BW3s, without TVs at the booths. This store though is surprisingly roomy, making efficient use of space, with a simi-​octagon bar and plenty of booths behind. It also has a shaded patio nicely fended-​in by black bars. It’s about as nice as a patio can be with the view of huge strip malls around it.
The food is good. Their wings play second fiddle to B-​Dubs on taste, but I prefer them; they have more meat than the boney offerings of B-​Dubs. I love their fried mushroom and other appetizers. You can’t go wrong limiting your meals to that. For main course fare, the buggers here are not noteworthy. The parmesan chicken is often my choice, though in no way does it get close to anything near the top the city has to offer. It is hit or miss. At best it’s a good bar meal, at worse the chicken is over cooked. The sauce, well, let’s just call it eatable and not venture further. Basically what you expect from a sports bar like joint.
They have a decent selection of beers on tap, and the service here is great – when the place isn’t busy. At times though, the bar can have loud, ex-​frat types who’s woo-​hoos can be annoying. Just get a booth and you’ll be free of the sports bar atmosphere of the front.

I’ve been told for a long time to come to Roosters from so many people. Today I finally decided to come and guess what the person who stood me up yesterday actually showed up!
I got the benefit of the doubt and they paid for my lunch today, so we got ourselves the potato skins, 10 boneless wings and a side salad. I was just full after five of the wings alone. Keeping in mind that I’m on a strict diet for the next 2 weeks until my wedding so my food intake has been much less.
I know you all are either A.) excited I have two weeks until the big day B.) happy the person actually showed up today or C.) happy I tried a new place and experienced the food. I would go with all the above since I like being treated these days and sometimes going out and trying new things is all you need when you are under a lot of stress these days.
The reason I gave the restaurant as a whole 3 stars is because I’m not a fan of breaded wings, maybe because I have been eating a lot healthier these days. If you met me a while back maybe I would have been a fan of the wings but for now they were just okay, nothing too special. I guess my taste buds have changed these days. Oh well, I do give the restaurant kuddos for being nice and letting me sit wherever I want for lunch.

Wings were dry and not as ordered… also ordered this sad rendition of cheese fries. At least I was able to get these up to snuff for an extra charge by ordering a side of cheese…
