The Red Rooster exceeded our expectations. We started with the clam chowder, two bowls of it, and it was the star of the meal. I've had a lot of clam chowder over the years, and the only bowl that beats this one is from Legal Seafoods in Boston. That's saying a lot. We followed that with the seafood cakes, which were fantastic, and the pork pate, which was excellent as well. The staff was warm and attentive throughout, and our waitress Erica was wonderful, friendly, quick, and clearly knew the menu well. Only note: prices run a bit steep. We stuck to water/appetizers and still walked away with a solid bill for two chowders, one order of seafood cakes, and one order of pork pate. But between the food, the decor, and the overall ambiance, it was very nice experience. Highly recommend. read more

I live in NYC and I convinced my brother and sister in law to take me and our 98 year old mother out for a drive east, and to have lunch somewhere out there. We found Red Rooster Bistro and thought it looked very cute. It is a lovely little building, looks like a French country house. My mother and I each order the portobello mushroom, her with cheese and me without cheese. We also ordered the beet salad. My brother had the pasta and my sister in law had chicken and salad. They loved their pasta and chicken. My mother and I were not as thrilled. The mushroom was tiny, buried under greens. I had expected a decent sized mushroom but ours were so small. I am glad we also ordered the beet salad, which was mostly greens but the beets were good. They also ordered the flourless chocolate cake, which they enjoyed. The server was excellent, and I enjoyed my glass of wine. I also loved the ambiance. French restaurants are always a bit of a challenge for me ( I am vegan) but honestly, they need to use bigger mushrooms and maybe add a veggie burger to the menu? read more

What a hidden gem, once inside definitely feels like you're in a farm house in the French countryside... Food here is fresh and delicious and high quality ingredients and everything is cooked to perfection. Service is friendly and they have a full bar. We had the chicken cordon Bleu and the chicken valdastanza both fantastic and generous portions. Glad we checked out the dessert menu... Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie... Truly, The Best Dessert I've ever had.... all homemade! Definitely recommend checking this place out read more

This restaurant is still our go-to restaurant for me and my mom. We discovered it one summer while we were out at the farms and have been going back ever since. This is such a unique restaurant with not only amazing food, but an awesome atmosphere, with the best service. The food here is incredible. I have had everything on their menu, and can say that every dish is awesome! They use farm fresh ingredients from the local farms around them when they can, and every dish they make is made with passion, love of food, and their love of our east end. I can't say enough about this amazing restaurant. I am happy we live so close, but if you don't, it is definitely worth the drive. Once you go, you will be back! read more

It pains me to write this review about a restaurant I have loved for years, but I can't overlook the rudeness and poor customer service we encountered during our recent visit. The food is still amazing--an excellent assortment of French-American cuisine in a relaxed, country-style setting. From burgers and salads to classic dishes like Beef Bourguignon and Steak au Poivre, the menu has always impressed me. However, during our lunch today with my parents and a family friend, our experience was marred by an unexpected charge. We traveled nearly an hour to dine here, and while my mom and I decided to share an entree, my dad and friend each ordered their own meals. Our bill totaled $204, and we noticed that our Boeuf Bourguignon, listed at $36, had an additional $5 charge for splitting the meal. When my dad questioned this, the owner simply stated, "it is what it is because it's posted on the menu," and refused to remove the charge. My parents were upset, so I approached the manager in hopes of resolving the situation. Unfortunately, this only escalated the issue. Rather than addressing our concerns, she became defensive and dismissive. I suggested that they communicate the split meal charge more clearly, as it was in small print at the bottom of the menu. Instead of acknowledging our feedback, she raised her voice and insisted that we should have already known about the charge since we're regular customers. Her response was disheartening. I expressed my disappointment that she wouldn't consider our perspective or offer an apology, to which she replied, "go ahead and write your review." After this encounter, we all agreed not to return, which is unfortunate because of a simple $5 miscommunication on a $204 bill. The Boeuf Bourguignon, which we shared, was delicious, just as I remembered. I had planned to write a glowing review and share beautiful photos of the restaurant and our meal. Instead, I'm left feeling disappointed and frustrated by the owner's poor customer service and inflated ego.

Everything was delicious. We got chicken, teriyaki dumplings, incredible clam, chowder, duck and many other things. Prices are very reasonable given the large portion. We will definitely be coming again one of the best restaurants we've eaten on the North Fork. Thank you, red rooster. read more

Delicious food, quality taste! If you are a burrata fan, you have to try theirs! These tomatoes also tasted so freshly grown and flavorful. I will say that the restaurant was very quiet, so much so that you could hear the floor boards creaking. I would have appreciated some light music in the background! It is also a quite small restaurant with only few tables so prepare to be packed in a bit. Service was prompt with the exception of a couple times, once when one of our entrees came out later than the rest, and again when we asked for the check. Overall, positive experience though and glad we tried it! read more

Lost track of time on a day out east with my girlfriend, forgot to check what times restaurants last seatings were and came very close to going hungry. The Rooster let us in close to closing time. Got our food out in a hurry and everything was delicious. The star of the show were the mussels. Plump, healthy mussels in the most wonderful saffron cream sauce. If it wasn't so close to closing I would have ordered two more for myself. Would happily and excitedly come back for another meal, hopefully many more meals. read more

The food was so fresh, the restaurant had a cozy atmosphere. The flavor with every dish was excellent and the portions were large. Definitely coming back! Didn't take a picture of the buratta app but GET IT. read more

While out planter shopping on the north fork my wife and I decided to stop for lunch at the Red Rooster Bistro and we were not disappointed. We began with the grilled portobello mushroom accompanied by blue cheese, a dish that struck a perfect balance between richness and refinement. The smoky depth of the mushroom was beautifully offset by the tang of the cheese. We also had the Pâté de Campagne, this starter is a true standout, executed with both authenticity and finesse. Rustic yet refined, the pâté is rich and deeply flavorful, capturing the essence of traditional French country fare. It is served with perfectly crisp crostini, whose delicate crunch provides just the right contrast to the pâté's smooth, hearty texture. The accompaniment of house-made mustard elevates the dish further, adding a bright, tangy sharpness that balances the richness beautifully. For the next course, we enjoyed the beet salad and the signature Red Rooster salad, both with roasted chicken. The beet salad was both vibrant and earthy, its natural sweetness enhanced by a light, thoughtful dressing. The Red Rooster salad offered a more robust composition, layered with flavors that showcased the kitchen's attention to detail and commitment to freshness. Each dish was presented with elegance, the portions generous yet measured. Service was attentive and gracious, contributing to an atmosphere that was both warm and polished. In all, Red Rooster Bistro offers an elevated dining experience where creativity, quality, and hospitality come together seamlessly. read more

This place is really cool--definitely a hidden gem on the North Fork. It's a very interesting, visually unique restaurant, a little quirky at first, but in a good way. The chicken cordon bleu was one of the best I've ever had, and both the food and service were excellent. Overall, a great experience and somewhere I'd happily return. read more

This was my first time for a sit down dinner at the Red Rooster Bistro and boy did it have me clucking! This used to be a farmers bar called the Blue Top then a bbq joint called the farmers bar. They have really hit the mark with the decor and theme this time around. It still has that county ambiance with plenty of rooster plates and decorations hanging on the walls to give the space a cozy feel. The service was phenomenal with the staff making sure all are needs were met and the food had the same taste and feel that the restaurant presents. I'll definitely be going back. P.S. I don't have a picture of the Pot Roast my mother ordered but that was probably the best meal of all. read more

It had been a long time since we were here and I thought it would be a great place to go for my birthday dinner and we were not disappointed. I was so happy to see escargot on the menu and it was amazing. I was so used to getting it in that little dish with 6 little snails in garlic and butter but wow did this surprise me! There was so much escargot in the garlic butter sauce I was shocked! The biscotti was just enough to sop up that tasty stuff. My husband had the Red Rooster salad that he really loved and it was so refreshing. Our main dishes were the Chicken Voldostana and NZ Rack of lamb both amazing and wonderfully flavorful. Do yourself a favor and try this out of the way amazing restaurant you won't be disappointed. read more

Such a cozy atmosphere, the staff is extremely friendly and attentive, and the food and drinks are delicious!

Stopped here for a late lunch on Sunday. It was our first visit and it was outstanding! The New England clam chowder was just perfect--creamy enough but not too thick and loaded with clams. Husband had an amazing cheeseburger and I had the chicken Milanese -- delicious! Service was excellent and place is cozy and welcoming. read more

The salmon which is farm raised, was fishy. I sent it back. The red rooster salad was good.

Used to come here when it was another place, was out at the wineries and pulled it up on yelp. Went there and the service was very quick and attentive. Sat down with my wife and our server could not have been nicer, food choices were easy as the mussels looked great and were better than you could have imagined as was all the food. Only suggestion skip the dessert not worth the calories and we were disappointed in the crème brûlée but everything else was great going back in a week with friends read more

The food and service here are always top notch. Love the "local" feel of the place too. It's

Had the duck....Terrific! It's a charming restaurant with wonderful service. You will be charmed by all the decor...obviously with roosters. The chef knows what he is doing, for sure. Thank you...as we began our vacation on that afternoon. We will return next August. read more

Red Rooster is off the beaten path, which makes it even more enjoyable. There's a vibe like you have found a secret place. That secret place just happens to have great ambience, friendly service and wonderful food. My wife is a vegetarian and self professed salad snob. She loved her salad entree. This is very rare and delightful for me! Happy wife, happy lunch. I enjoyed the chowder and a perfectly prepared burger. So many places ignore the simple things. A great burger is a great find, and....rare (boom! Burger Joke.) This place will now be added to our short list of favorite places on the beautiful North Fork read more

I gotta admit this place was an afterthought but I'm glad I tried it. A little pricey and portions are small but boy oh boy they bring the flavor town to the next level.i asked for tagliatelle instead of spaghetti for the Bolognese which they happily did for an upcharge. The chicken Valdosta was a 10/10. Chicken cutlet with spinach and spaghetti with garlic and oil. The spaghetti was perfect, man I wished I ordered that dish. The eggplant rollatini was light and delicate almost elegant in presentation. Ok so $25-$35 for luncheon entrees is rich for my blood but if money is no object order your second choice to take home for a midnight snack. Wine by the glass will set you back on average $14. Bottles about $40. Yeah, yeah, yeah we would all love to see a return to carafes of house wines for $20. This place deserves the 5 stars, service was great. The vibe is cool and the food top top-notch. I only wish Putin didn't cause all this inflation which is putting dining out read more

This has been my go to place for the last four or five times I've been to the wineries on the North fork of Long Island. the portions are always large and the food is always fresh. The service is always great. It's has been the same every time. There are always a few specials and each time I have tried something different. Will continue to go back here. It's a slightly off the main path hidden gem and we leave full and happy every time. Btw this time the special was cold cucumber soup. It was really good. read more

Red Rooster Bistro - This was the seafood cake appetizer. We forgot to take photos of our meals but they were so good - New American Near Me - Cutchogue, New York

The place feels very rustic and welcoming. The staff is friendly, and our company of five was seated promptly. The Manu has a French influence. We tried their burrata salad, which comes with croutons, which is super delicious. The portions are plentiful. My husband and I shared beef bourguignon; the meat was melting in the mouth, super juicy, and goes well with mashed potato. It's the perfect place to grab dinner after wine tasting. read more

There are three things to consider in rating a restaurant. The environment, the food and the service. The Red Rooster Bistro is a living dichotomy! The environment is great. It is clean, attractive and nicely decorated. The food served to my wife and I at lunch was an embarrassment. We started with a beet salad which was very fresh and dressed with a typical French bistro vinaigrette and the New Zealand mussels. There were only 8 mussels floating in a saffron cream sauce accompanied with two siices of toasted baguette. The sauce was very good but the saffron flavoring was too subtle to be appreciated. The mussels were very overcooked rendering them inedible and tasteless. Next the entrees arrive. My wife had the Faroe Island Salmon which was served in a bland cream sauce. While edible it was very ordinary! I ordered the Maple Farm Duck which was advertised as coming without breasts (I wondered what they do with the breasts?). It arrived floating in what they called 'unagi demi-glace'. I suppose it is their version of the Japanese sauce served with eel but their version was too salty, tasted terrible and I found it to be inappropriate for this dish! The duck skin desirably crispy but the meat was badly overcooked and dry. The sauce on the edge of the plate was stone cold. That was a giveaway that the dish was previously prepared and improperly reheated for serving. The mashed potatoes and vegetables on both plates were ordinary. Now we come to the service! The lady who we presume was an owner is perfectly suited to be a prison guard but a disaster serving patrons! When taking our order she bragged unnecessarily about all the food and was not helpful in assisting us with our order. Later when she came over to clear our plates and saw that I barely touched my duck she asked if I wanted to take it home. I told her no because I didn't care for it. Instead of showing any concern she used my comment as an opportunity to lecture us on it's popularity and that people come for all over and love it. She then unsolisitedly brought us the check skipping the customary request 'would you like to see a dessert menu'. Her message was clear: 'pay and get out'! And now for the 'coup de grace'. When my wife asked me if she removed the duck from the bill she proudly announced 'I did not'. Based on other reviews, I suspect the chef wasn't there for an early Sunday lunch serving which resulted in our being served previously prepared commissary style food prepared by inferior staff members. Based on reading many reviews I suspect the food was unusually bad but the service was typical. Guess who will NEVER RETURN! This review is looking pretty epic! Nice! read more

I went there a few days ago with my son and husband. The food was good that wasn't my problem. I ordered a diet coke, my son ordered a diet coke and my husband just drank water and lemon. During the meal my son asked for another soda. When the bill came the beverage charge was $24 for 3 sodas!!! We didn't say anything at the time because I know the restaurant is kind of pricey. The next day I looked up their menu on line. There are beers for $8 a glass but no price for soda. Now I had to call. A woman with an accent answered who is the owner. I asked her how much they charge for a soda and she said $4. I told her I was overcharged two nights ago and she asked if I had the receipt. Regrettably I did not but I told her we paid with a $100 gift certificate and added $40 in cash plus a $30 tip. I told her the waitresses name. How often do people come in with $100 gift certificates? I knew the waitresses name. Did she think I was lying? She was very snooty and rude. She just kept saying that without a receipt she couldn't do anything. To pay $24 for 3 sodas that probably cost them $1! My husband is a salesman and said that over something as trivial as a soda she should have just said that next time we come in she would comp us the soda. We have ordered holiday dinners to go for my entire family from Red Rooster. I won't be doing that anymore. read more

What is better than taking a ride out East to the wineries on Super Bowl Sunday. And while you are out here checking out the Red Rooster bistro which is fully decorated with Red roosters. The place is very inviting. Service was good. It was not very busy. But i would imagine during season it would be. We had the dumplings appetizer. Very good. I had the Chicken Milanese. Omg. It was so delicious. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. Nice portion. Prices were not crazy. Recommended! read more
