Classic local hometown bar with amazing food. This is my favorite place to go if I'm in the west metro. This place is great for Sunday night football games and a place to bring kids and friends. They have a back area that will fit a hockey team perfectly!! The food is above average; they have a few specialties. Basically, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I got their weekend special that was a smash burger with caramelized onions. It was delicious, and it went well with a local beer. They have a huge tap selection with local places and lots of up north stables. They have a full bar, and ranch water was a special when I was there on a Sunday. Overall, this place is a staple in the community, and I would go out of my way because of their specials and great customer service! read more

We were camping at Baker National Reserve but the Wild were playing so we stopped in to watch. The service was great! The atmosphere and vibes are exactly what you want from a bar like this. They have plenty of seating at the bar and around the restaurant. Great for families too. Pull tabs and the vintage feel brings it all together. The food was good nothing to write home about. I would suggest to please change the salsa and queso. The salsa has no flavor and the queso was creamy but a little bland. Other than that we had a great time here! read more

We ordered off the menu, the food was good, the service was excellent, but when we received our bill we were overcharged for several items, prices not matching with what was quoted on the menu! Nothing make me more angry than restaurants who pad the bill!!! Will not be visiting this place in the near future!! Pay attention to your bill when you get it!!!! Signed: Just another unhappy customer,,,, (NOT THAT IT WILL MAKE A BIT OF DIFFERENCE!) read more

The service was great. I love the vibe of the restaurant, reminds me of the cabin. Pulltabs weren't great for us, but that's the risk we take by playing I guess. The staff was amazing. We only came for drinks, so I'm not sure how the food was, but we'll be back! read more

Food is very good. Server was friendly and knowledgeable. Ambience is family friendly and fun.

The staff was extremely helpful and courteous. Relaxed atmosphere and a great place to watch the game. The owner came over to greet us and thanked us for coming in. read more

Though they only had two servers working today, and it was busy, our services were great. We were attended to with smiles and excellent service. Food was great and prompt for a lunch time visit. Though we live 45 mins away, next time we're around here we will definitely visit!!! The Walleye sandwich was amazing! Thank you. read more

Big menu, the number and breadth of selection was surprising! Nice casual dining, out for a weeknight date with friends. Great selection of beverages, reasonable prices, and great service all combine to make this a great option. Check it out! read more

The Red Rooster has a recently remodeled private room that we used for an eightieth birthday party. The room comfortably handles twelve people and the service including a birthday cake was great. Everything was perfect. read more

I thought the service was great. The food was delicious. I ordered the double cheese burger and it was divine. It reminded me of a juicy lucy, I highly recommend it. The tater tots were okay, very crispy, but no seasoning. I had hoped the inside of the restaurant would have been more outdoorsy or farmyard; something to do with a red rooster. It had a lot of sports posters, jerseys, and beer signs everywhere. I had a good time overall, but I had higher expectations. read more

I heard some friends talkin' about the Red Rooster over in Long Lake. It sounded good, and ya know what I said? "Wall-Eye I outta try it!" ;) We had the Walleye Sandwich with Tater Tots and the Wimpy Burger with Fries. Loved the atmosphere and furniture in this place; The booths were incredibly comfortable! The fries weren't outstanding, but the burger was done right, the breading on the fish was excellent, and the service was awesome. I'd go back for some traditional bar food anytime read more

This is the second time in a row where the food has been absolutely disappointing. Naturally it concerns the walleye lacking any flavor whatsoever. I ordered the sandwich and the bun was completely drenched in water, to no one's surprise having zero flavor. And the walleye itself as an entree is laughable at best; overpriced, and......no flavor. read more

What ruined Roosters is jackass bartenders that would rather gab with his friends then wait on customers. Sat at the bar for 20 minutes and couldn't get bozo's attention. Asked a waiter a drink and he said I had to get the bartender's attention. Screw that, went to Birch's and having a great time there! Never again! read more

Food is so fresh, everything is made on the premises, the onion rings are the best in the Twin cities . great, well trained enthusiastic staff, great family style restaurant with booths and TV,s. for the sports enthusiasts around the bar. read more

Welcoming spot, food used to be really good, but now just lacks execution. Pizza oven's deck is way to high. Was with my daughter young daughter and in a rush, so didn't make a fuss, but pizza's bottom crust was burnt. Not sure what happened, but food was 100X better 10 years ago. read more

Red Rooster Lounge & Restaurant - Bunt pizza - Bars Near Me - Long Lake, Minnesota

The food is superb. The ambiance appears to be great but I have only ordered takeout. The service for takeout should be sort of trivial, but apparently not. The service was not as expected. First of all we ordered via Toast and Toast informed us it would be 20 minutes, so I arrived at exactly 20 minutes. Unfortunately this was one of the busiest times so I anticipated a little longer, however it took 10-15 minutes longer and I had to stand around to wait due to the time communicated via toast. Additionally, we left a 10% tip for takeout which is really questionable as to who gets the tip. Not to mention you are giving a tip before you have had any service. Never, ever again will we leave a tip for takeout. We had 3-4 people asking me if I was there for takeout, but not a single person seemed to be responsible for ensuring I received the takeout. The person who finally came with the takeout was about to take it to the bar to once again make me wait even longer. Fortunately they did not do that because I would have been furious and made a spectacle in front of everyone. So the poor service did not end here, once we got home there was not silverware for takeout. Da. Is this the first time you have had someone with takeout. Normally that would not be a problem but we just moved to the neighborhood and are still unpacking so the timing could not be worse. Just to think we tipped 10% for such poor service But wait it does not end here, at about 2 hours later we finally receive a notification from Toast that the order is ready, after I already picked up the order. I don't care how good the food is, with such poor service this was our first and last time at this place. Good luck to everyone else. read more

I have been coming to the Red Rooster for a couple years after a weekly golf game. Our group of regulars were very happy in previous years, but not this year. Something has changed. Let me give you the good and the bad, and hopefully this will get back to the manager/owners of the restaurant. Service: the service staff in general is very slow. Slow to deliver drinks, slow to deliver food; and getting orders correct. There are a couple decent servers, but my group will move tables if we can see that a poor server will be handling our table. It is common to see your drinks sit on the bar for up to 10 minutes, for no known reason. If you go, order everything at the same time, drinks & food, etc. or you will be waiting Food: Slipping. Our main draw were the wings. We thought they were exceptional! Not anymore. The pizzas remain great. Our group also regularly ordered the burgers, fried chicken sandwich, the french dip, and the grouper sandwich, which is no longer on the menu, and tater tot for sides. The group consensus is that this is an overall slip. We as a group, we decided last night that it was our last night at the Rooster. Self awareness is important in food service, what you do well, where you need to approve, what's good on the menu what needs improvement. Their staff is missing this skill set, and until they take a look at their process they will slowly lose their following read more

We stopped for lunch after golf. My veggie sandwich was delicious plus homemade chips were crisp and yummy but could use more salt and/or seasoning. Another person had the walleye sandwich which was a good fish sandwich but tasted but did NOT taste anything like walleye. Tater tots were good. read more

Everything about this place is amazing. The ambience, the food, the service, all of it. This is a very cozy place to go to with friends and enjoy a great meal. I highly recommend the Walleye dinner! Especially if you are from out of town and have never tried it. read more

Try the new Jambalaya, simply amazing! We are never disappointed with the food, service and affordability of this place! read more

I had not been here since I was a kid. In almost 50 years, it still has the quaint charm I remember. Back in younger years, they had burgers, chicken and not much else. Fast forward, what an experience. The chicken salad croissant has beautifully poached chicken. Had a mock tail which was good, fair price. The s'mores dessert was enough for 3. Plenty of left overs. One bite and you feel like you're in dessert heaven. Mix of business people, locals. Would highly recommend. I hope they stay in business another 50 years. read more

We visited the Red Rooster after a long day by the lake and were quickly seated on their patio. They provided a lot of shade with big umbrellas, so we were never too hot. The inside of the building was a little dark and had the vibe of many small town bar and restaurants. Our server was friendly and efficient and quickly took our drinks orders. I ordered a rose and it arrived cold - the perfect drink for a summer day! For food I ordered the walleye sandwich. The portions are large - a big piece of pan-fried walleye on a hoagie bun with tartar sauce and fries on the side. The tartar sauce was homemade and really good! The fish was crispy and not greasy. One of our friends we dined with ordered chips with salsa and queso. The restaurant was out of queso, but corrected the mistake by making her chips on the house and brought guacamole as a substitute - great service. Overall we had a good experience and will likely be back! read more

Sad....We heard this place was so good again and couldn't wait to try it. Hubby ordered ahead of time and went to pick up the food. When he got there, no one placed our order and he had to wait. He said it seemed really disorganized and crazy. Then he got our food home. I got the Double cheeseburger that comes with grilled onions and pickles. There were 10 chopped up little onions on the burger! Hubby got the Colorado Burger. Supposed to be smothered in their house made pork green chili! No real sign of this chili whatsoever!!! I had to take pictures of these sad, sorry burgers that are not cheap. I'm sick of paying good money for less than mediocre food! I would have rather had a Big Mac from McDonald's:( read more

July 6, 2022 at about 5:30 pm. 4 of us decided to stop as we had not been here in a couple of years. NOT a good experience. I had Margarita pizza, it was really bad. 2 had burgers and they were not very good, really salty. Other had walleye sandwich and wife said it was just ok. read more

I mean, there are the new "in" spots that draw crowds because of the newness, and then there are places like Red Rooster, thank goodness. It is somewhat of a step back in time, but this is a good thing. The burgers are huge, the wings are good (they had a wing special on either Thursday or Friday nights...in fact they have a special pretty much every night). I did think the burgers could have been more tasty had there been some seasoning in the meat, they were a little bland and because they are huge you notice that. But there are plenty of other food options. The service really makes this place. Friendly, accommodating, and fast. She kept our beers from being empty, which is always nice. All in all, a great place to grab a high top for two and have a good meal for a fraction of the price of other joints. read more

Says they open at 3 not open order online don't want to called can't order on phone no menu except a picture of one hard to read conclusion... waste of my time read more

The Red Rooster is the most meh spot ever. The aggregate 3 stars is spot on. The food is all fried and underseasoned, the drinks are fine, the service is fine, and the decor is fine. I'd be fine if I didn't come back here again, but I know that's unlikely given it's proximity to my family's house and their habit from many years of going here. read more

Take your pick. Slow service or overpriced food. Where are we as a society where it is acceptable to charge $13 for 6 chicken wings? Not 6 full wings, 6 wings with no drummies. Other overpriced menu items are the fresh and crispy spring rolls. It took us 30 minutes to be sat while we stared at all of the open tables and total dining time was 2 1/2 hours. Take your money elsewhere and thank me later. read more

I was in the area for work and the person I was with wanted to stop here for a drink. Well, we ended up staying waaaaaayyyyy too long because while the RR isn't glamorous, it's one of the friendliest bar/grilles I've ever visited. Is the food amazing (or anything special for that matter)? Nope - but it's solid. Stick with a burger or a sandwich and you'll be just fine. Red Rooster seems to be mostly locals but we were treated warmly by both the bartender and other patrons. Another reviewer compared it to "Cheers" and I'd agree 100%. Everyone was just so....nice. (After a few days of mostly rude servers near the Mall of America this was a relief) Prices are really reasonable and drinks were being poured generously. I'm pretty sure people aren't going to drive here from downtown but it's absolutely worth stopping if you're nearby for a chill good time. Other random notes: *WTF is up with the pull tabs? Like there was a whole counter selling just pull tabs and people were buying literal baskets full. Must be a MN thing? *I've also never seen anyone actually order Michelob Golden Light before but at least half the bar was drinking them. *Their buffalo chicken strips were pretty tasty *You can do good or evil on the jukebox. Last night, the guy in the howling wolf tshirt was Satan himself. Like really, really bad country.... Red Rooster really reminded me of an "up north Wisconsin" bar with less taxidermy. Rock on with your Michelob Golden Lights, MN. read more

I love this place and stop for take out whenever I'm in the area. Tonight I did not feel like a welcome guest. Stopped after a soccer game and was cold and hungry. I waited at the hostess stand to place an order like I've done several other times. The young woman who was stationed there said I couldn't order from her but directed me to the bar where the bartender was busy and it required a wait to get her attention. I knew what I wanted, ordered and paid and went to the side to wait. My food bag wasn't brought to me as it has been other times but was placed on the bar and the bartended called across the bar that my takeout was ready. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch. Special was walleye sandwich which was very good. Very tasty walleye and I had onion rings that were very good. Service was great! Will be coming back for the burgers as well as beef tenderloin bites. read more

The new menu is excellent! I often get the avocado turkey burger and it always made to perfection. My family loves eating outside! I would highly recommend this place! read more

Here for the Vikings playoff push. No specials. But still cold beer! Burgers are very well cooked. Colorado burger is a little tough to eat without a fork and extra napkins. Next time order the Apple wrap. The word is it's amazing! Definitely small town feel. read more
