The Rolling Rooster - Austin, Texas

The tenders, fries and chicken wings tasted like it was cooked it old grease and had a slightly burnt appearance. The chicken lacked flavor, likely due to the old grease they fried it in. However, they were crispy. The condiments might’ve helped but everything was off brand (ketchup & ranch). The macaroni…I feel like it was stove top and not oven baked. It tasted very bland and was barely sprinkled/cooked with any cheese. The yams were super mushy and sweet…not sure if they were canned or fresh. I also had shrimp that the menu said was large but they were extremely small. Overall, the food was not worth the price. BUT on high note, the customer service was great. The ladies who helped me were super sweet & helpful. The atmosphere seemed cool too….they had a DJ in there. I went at night.

First time here and had an AMAZING meal! The chicken is hands down some of the best I've had in town, fried okra was also seasoned excellently! Hubs had the chicken and waffle and he really enjoyed the waffle,, which can be lackluster at other spots serving the same dish.

Looking forward to our next time eating here!! 💜✨️

The Rolling Rooster has good fried shrimp. The mac and cheese was to really good and I would recommend as a must try. The service was great. Unfortunately the table that we were going to be sat at was dirty and the host cleaned it for us by wiping it down. He did forget to dry it, but grateful it was cleaned. (I dried it myself with napkins). The waitress was friendly and helpful. They offer Happy Hour but I did not try any alcoholic beverages this time. The tables seem like they need an overhaul, a tad too tall and wobbly from wear and tear. But overall would definitely say give this place a try and of course order the mac and cheese!

We had the fried fish and chicken wings i wasn't disappointed at all with the food very tasty only thingi wish the fish had more meat they cut it really thin...the waitress would've gotten more tip if the restaurant didn't automatically add the tip to our ticket for only two people...so we gave the waitress what they ask for $8
What happened to adding tip to the ticket with 5 or more seated?
This is why I gave 3 stars
Just trying to show support for our black own businesses seem to get screwed almost every time...sad! But im not going to stop supporting

The Rolling Rooster is absolutely incredible! The food was out of this world — I had the chicken tenders, and they were hands down the best I’ve ever had: perfectly crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, and full of flavor.
On top of that, the service was amazing. Zee went above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable, friendly, and welcoming. It’s rare to find a spot that nails both the food and the service, but The Rolling Rooster delivers on both fronts.
Highly recommend if you’re craving great comfort food and a warm dining experience!

This place was really well put together and had a great chill vibe when we arrived. Our server was nice and polite and took care of us and our unique needs. The food was cool to order which took a bit, but I don't mind waiting for hot food. And the plates were well put together and offered a good amount for the price. We ordered fish and wings, Mac and cheese, okra, rice and gravy along with some fried pickles. The pickles would slip out of the batter, but had a good flavor. Mac had a good flavor to it as well, with heavy pepper (for those picky eaters to beware!) rice and gravy had a amazing taste and was cooked to perfect. Chicken had a excellent crunch and flavor and size. Fish was very thinly sliced, could've had a tad more crunch to it in my opinion, but the flavor was good. Tarter sauce was good as well. Each plate was offered one slice of warm bread to go with the meal. Their cool aid is what you should order! It was chef's kiss to perfection! Food was about $25-$20 with a high priced drinks of over $3! We spent about $80 for our meal of 3.

The food was sooo good! Even though I received syrup, I did not need it. The waffle had so much flavor. The chicken was seasoned to perfection!! Service was quick so no waiting. Definitely go by if you in the area.

We stopped in on our way out of Austin. This place didn't disappoint! Definitely get the lamb chops as an appetizer. Everything is cooked fresh to order with love. You must check this gem out. Thank ya Nikki for the great hospitality!!
