We ordered the pink skies drink, which they advertised as tasting similar to a Starbucks pink drink. To me, it tasted more like a strawberry daiquiri. It was sweet and not super creamy. It had a strawberry puree, which gave it the sweet taste. The Italian sandwich had a great flavor - it had a sweet Italian dressing, mayo on the bread, fresh lettuce, cheese, and several meats including baloney, salami, and pepperoni. The bread was soft and fresh. The cucumber salad got a little soggy in the vinegar mix. They were perfectly salty, but could have been a bit more sweet for my personal taste.

The food is alright... however you will NEVER see or even be able to speak to a manager or owner on the phone or in person. "They're busy"..... I've actually seen them sitting doing NOTHING & REFUSE to take phone calls. I can't say ALL but %98 of management speak to the employees like they are totally above them. This disappoints me deeply. I've heard the owner is a very kind women.... However she has hired a "manager" that treats her employees like animals. Also the "manager" happens to be the owners best friend. Which is even more of an issue that I find vile. I truly hope these situations are taken care of ASAP because I use to REALLY enjoy visiting this restaurant. As of now....I will NEVER recommend this restaurant. All due to how the staff is treated. Your staff is what makes the business money. They should know this. Also they allow their hostess were FLIP FLOPS AND NO UNIFORM. also the owners family. I pray they pull things together. read more

Absolutely Amazing!!! The food was great and our server went beyond!! Holly was knowledgeable of the menu and had great recommendations! We loved everything she recommended ! Chicken and waffles and the strawberry spring salad! Yum!!! And when our 3 yr old had a melt down she was quick to get him some muffins and crayon to color and she genuinely cared as she wiped his tears and talked to him . Service like this deserves to be recognized most would overlook a crying toddler while she was right there to calm him so we could enjoy our brunch! Thanks so much Holly! We will be back soon to see you and the rest of the crew!!!!! read more

After waiting for two hours at Red Rooster, the anticipation of a satisfying meal was met with disappointment. The food, unfortunately, fell short of expectations, marked by poor quality that overshadowed the lengthy wait. Despite the restaurant's reputation, this experience highlighted inconsistencies in service and culinary execution, leaving much to be desired in terms of both taste and overall dining satisfaction. read more

The food is always hit or miss with the amount of grease taste you're going to get in it. It feels like a dive bar inside with the stickiness of tables and floors (but it's humid Beaufort so that's normal) I'd say if you're in the area and need something greasy to soak up a day in the sun, sure maybe check it out- but be prepared to pay for your experience. And it's not normal for a restaurant to charge for 1 can (we paid 19.50 for 2) the price of 4 at a store ($9.99) .. that's criminal honestly.

The fries were also really good -- definitely one of the highlights of the meal. The biggest issue was with the food quality on the ribs and wings. The ribs were overcooked, very tough, and didn't pull apart like good ribs should. The wings were also overcooked to the point they were almost crunchy. That said, the sauces were excellent and helped save the meal a bit. The BBQ sauce on the ribs had great flavor, and I ordered the spicy teriyaki wings which tasted really good. My dad also enjoyed the mango habanero and Cajun dry rub flavors. Overall, the restaurant has a great sports bar vibe, solid service, and strong sauce flavors, but the kitchen really needs to improve consistency on cooking the meat properly.
