    3 piece white meat (2 wings and 1 breast), with mac n cheese and potato salad.

    By far the best fried chicken in Maryland! Crispy, juicy, and flavorful all the way through. Loved the mac n cheese. The potato salad was a little bit sweeter than I like, but still good. Overall, I really enjoyed it. I'll definitely be back!

    Rolls, which are smaller than they look in the picture.

    The fried chicken is definitely the star at Red Rooster. Order the family meal, which came with 12 pieces of chicken, "bucket" fo fries, another side of your choice, and dinner rolls. Fried chicken was seasoned well, tender, juicy, and meaty. Skin was crispy and not overly battered. For the price of the family meal, $34.99, wish it came with less legs...I think half of the chicken were legs. Fries were okay. Didn't hold up well on the drive home. Came in large bag, rather than a bucket. So many fries! Ordered mac and cheese, but ended up with coleslaw. Coleslaw was okay as well (generally not a fan). After reading reviews about soupy mac and cheese, I guess I can't be too mad that I got coleslaw by mistake. I enjoyed the rolls, which were soft and fluffy. Super tiny, though. Also tried their fried shrimp, which wasn't bad. But for $7.99, I'd pass next time around. Chocolate shake was pretty good. Small was plenty. Service was good, with the gentleman taking our order being patient as we decided what to order. Food took slightly longer than stated, but it was nice that he brought our order to the car when it was done. Inside the store is fairly small. Just enough room to order. They have several tables outside, with two under covering. No bathroom, but they do have a surprisingly clean porta potty just outside.

    Stopped in Sunday around lunch. There's a small indoor area to order which has various menus on the wall, a small counter and a little area for napkins, ketchup and the like. I was impressed with the number of items on the menu. We got a six piece chicken, a small coleslaw and a medium size macaroni and cheese. The guy that took our order brought our food outside where we sat at one of the many tables. As mentioned elsewhere, there's no bathroom, but the port o John was in good shape. The friend chicken was good. We got a nice mix of pieces and it was cooked well. The coleslaw was tangy and delicious. The Mac and cheese was mostly flavorless. I wouldn't recommend it. The medium size fries were good. They could have used more salt, though by the time I had some My hands hand chicken grease on them and I wasn't going to spread that on the door. Overall the price was good, they have outdoor seating and the chicken was fine.

    Big red meal with 2 sides.

    I came here around 2pm on a Tuesday. The ordering area was pretty small but the staff was super friendly and answered any questions I had about the menu. I went with the big red burger and made it a combo with two sides for an extra $3 or so. I got the onion rings and the Mac n cheese. The burger itself was cooked nicely and I would definitely get it again if I was in the area, but nothing to go out if your way for. The onion rings were decent but the Mac n cheese was way too soupy. Overall I'd come back here to get another burger or maybe try their fried chicken or breakfast.

    I love red Rooster. The food is delicious. I like their sides . They have breakfast as well. They should extend their late hours.

    I don't see any reason why there Chicken is Overpriced.. I spend $30 for 8 pcs Chicken and Onion rings. Chicken is dry it might be overcooked or the oil is old, Onion rings is alright. My friend recommended it for me but definitely I'm not coming back again. I came from Germantown drove 20 mins just to try but I was not impressed.

    1/4 lbs. Cheeseburger.  Not bad but nothing special.

    . The fried chicken is delicious - far better than Kentucky Fried Chicken (sorry, Colonel). The wedges and onion rings are great!

This was our first time here, as on prior occasions we found the line too daunting. We were surprised when another 4:15pm patron was led to their reserved table, but we learned that their planning and caution was well-founded. We discovered the popularity of Bolder to be well-deserved. Seeking lite fare for an early dinner, calorie conscious, we both navigated the tempation-filled menu with success. We thoroughly enjoyed the bison burger and turkey club, the latter being sufficiently sample for a split lunch the next day too. Service was rock-solid and very efficient. We definitely hope to be back soon. And we will make a reservation. Dress code is casual.

Despite being seated at a table for 4 at the busy entrance door, it was still nice. The service was great and the food was amazing! We started with a clam appetizer in a garlicky tomato-basil wine sauce served with fresh lemon and flatbread. It was very flavorful. I had the Strawberry Balsamic Salmon with spinach risotto and asparagus. This was the best meal I've had in a long time! The balsamic vinegar complemented the strawberry fresca salsa with red onions and the risotto was luxuriously creamy and mouth-watering. The asparagus complemented it all nicely. It's a good thing the portion was huge as I was able to indulge again for lunch the next day! My husband had the The Talk of the Town - Crabby Fried Green Tomatoes. The portion wasn't as big so he was easily able to finish itl. The fried green tomato slices were breaded and fried to a crisp and topped with pure colossal crab meat that was broiled a bit on top and it was all covered with a tasty red pepper coulis. We now can add Bolder to our list of favorite restaurants!

Everything was flavorful and nicely prepared. I was honestly so busy enjoying the food that I completely forgot to take pictures--haha. Service was great as well. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the dishes kept coming out quickly so there was never much of a wait between plates. If you're looking for a fun brunch where you can try a variety of dishes in smaller portions, Wilcom's Inn is definitely worth checking out. Ample free parking is available.

That's ok; every place has its own way do doing things. I waited. Noticeably, I was the only person of color in the entire restaurant. Still, I waited because no tables were available and they could see I was there. They made eye contact several times, walked by me several times. Finally, a table was turned over (very very slowly). I anticipated that would be mine since I'd been waiting and no one else was there. While the table was being turned over, another party came in. They were not spoken to either. When done, the woman who had turned over the table greeted them and walked them to the fresh table. She looked at me and turned away. I watched, confused. Someone who appeared to be a manager or owner hopped down off her stool at the bar having seen what happened, spoke to the hostess and asked me if I wanted to sit at the bar. I declined. I had waited and I wanted a table. The woman just turned and walked back to her seat at the bar. No apology (though she saw what happened), no indication of making it right. The hostess appeared annoyed but not apologetic and said nothing. I ended up leaving because the people there made us feel so unwanted - blatantly and boldly so. So if you're POC or visibly queer, skip this place.

The servers work hard and are always attentive. Sometimes there is a bit of confusion when the person who delivers the food was not the same one that took the order -- the food sometimes being taken to the wrong table. The grill master is the one major variable when I order burgers. For one thing, I usually do not get the advertised full discount for the Wednesday night special. Things like cheese and add-ons can run up the burger a bit, but there always seems to be an automatic charge for cheese (either $1 or $2 up-charge) which I do not order. That is why I say I usually don't get the full advertised discount. Aside from that, there is wide variation in how the meat is cooked. "Medium" one night can be "Medium rare" or "Well-done" depending on the person on the grill. You best not order it "Well-done" unless you want to risk it being dry and crispy. The tacos are always excellent. Grilled or fried, either way is a diner's delight. The sauce has a nice burn without being too spicy. The two-taco meal may be enough for most diners with the three-taco portion being quite enough to satisfy. As far as putting Memories Charcoal House on my dining list, I will continue to patronize the establishment for its friendly atmosphere, cordial staff and wide variety of menu items.

    So we come to this place about once every two months…read more We like sitting on the patio from spring to fall. The service is usually good ...but the serve drinks in small plastic cups. I drink unsweetened tea most of the time so I'm constantly waiting for a refill. The good ... the food is generally tasty. The Bad ... they are charging $32.00 for a 16oz ribeye. I know they use Mt Airy Meat locker for their beef. The steak was seasoned well but had a tiny sliver of a bone for what they called a bone in. Also .... The nickel and dining is ridiculous. You get one side. And they upcharge for mushrooms or onions. In comparison... Longhorn service a 20oz Ribeye with 2 sides and bread for $32.79 So I got the Ribeye and about 6 stalks of very tiny asparagus. I actually like the small asparagus but not 6 stalks??? As far as the steaks go ... don't give me the local meat BS or the cost for a small business. Side cost little ... salad and potatoes are cheap. We don't go to this place regularly because of this ... so we end up with a $72.00 bill (wife got a Cesar salad with shrimp) and seltzer water with a lime. Result ... have to make something to eat after we get home. After dropping nearly $90 after tip. My wife and I prefer to patronize local places but these owners are making it hard. I was going to order the chicken wings and a side salad .... But ...$24 for 12 half wings is beyond ridiculous. The wing shortage is over but many places are hanging on to the price increase ... I'd imagine because they think the customers are stupid. Out of curiosity... I shopped a pack of fresh wings at BJs wholesale club to see what wings are going for. The price for an 18 pack is around $8.00. And that would make 36 buffalo wings since you only get half. Disappointed... food that we did get was good ... but value is somewhere close to a zero!
