This place is really delicious. The hot chicken is great but my favorite is the smash burgers and the sweet people who serve there. They are so kind. Also always get a million points extra in my book when you serve a good homemade ranch. They do it right and quality is A plus. read more

It was our first time in and the owners were very friendly asking if it was our first time in and explaining the menu which was very helpful. So I'm giving this review after eating Lava hot chicken across the street for the first time last week. The food here was really good as I ordered the cluck and blaze with one hot chicken sandwich and an order of the chicken fries and got the coleslaw on the side. The chicken was well seasoned and juicy and the fries had a nice flavor as well but just for my preference I enjoyed the Lava hot chicken more. Don't get me wrong, this place is good but I did enjoy more of the crunch from the chicken at Lava hot chicken. The ambience is a nice little place with a few tv's and hot chicken decor. Check it out if you are in the area! read more

Tried this place for the first time last weekend. It was absolutely delicious! Everything was hot and fresh and made to order. The ranch was bomb. It was so good that my husband hasn't stoped talking about it all week and has wanted to drive an hour round trip just to get it again! Will definitely be back! read more

Rooster Roo Hot Chicken - Chicken sandwich (no spice) and smash burger with fries. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Rowlett, Texas

I'm not a big fancy of spicy foods but this place is very good. I checked it out on a recommendation and it did not disappoint. The prices are not too crazy, $17 will get you just about everything on their menu with a drink and fries. They have different levels of heat that you can choose from so there are options despite the name. The brothers that run this place are nice and usually good for conversation. They will talk to you and ask about the food to help them continue improvement. The location is also extremely clean even the bathrooms, this is definitely a good place to check out. read more

We picked up the combo that includes a slider and a tender and fries. Everything was delicious, and I'm not a coleslaw fan usually, but it really balanced the sauce and spice of the chicken. We'll definitely be back! read more

Rooster Roo Hot Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Rowlett, Texas

My wife and I came here for the first time yesterday and ordered to go. The establishment is clean and put together well. It's family owned by the husband and wife and we could tell they take pride in what they do. Everyone was super friendly and said goodbye when we left. I ordered the Holy Cow and my wife had the Cluck & Blaze. Each was packed full of deliciousness ; however, this may be my new local favorite for smashed cheese burgers. We'll definitely become regulars since it's nearby. read more

On service alone they should get 10 stars. You feel welcomed as soon as you enter their establishment and they thank you when you leave. Its so simple but things it make a big difference. The food is also very good and affortable. Unfortunately no photos because it was eaten too fast lol read more

Wow, what a small place but Huge flavor in their food. I was schooled as I have been to Nashville and know hot chicken. This was a very close second. If you want good hot chicken, go here. read more

Rooster Roo Hot Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Rowlett, Texas

I highly recommend Rooster Roo. The levels of heat are on point. The hot is hot and the light mild is just that. The tenders are large and full of juice. They didn't over sauce the tenders and the dry spice stayed on the tenders. As soon as we walked in the staff recognized my son's shirt and made comments about it making him feel comfortable and made him smile. When we left we had great conversations and I will definitely go back. The only thing I would change is the size of the dipping sauce they offer. I hade to pay extra for the ranch( which tasted amazing) but the size of the cup was too small for the amount of food and the price. They have smash burgers but no one in the place had anything but chicken. read more

The people are really great and their food is amazing! I can only go as far as the medium spice but if you're brave there is a hotter one! They have created a nice spot to relax and have a meal with family. read more

One of the best smash burgers I've ever had. My Granddaughter got the chicken and waffles and she finished the whole entire plate.

Very friendly owners and clearly take pride in their restaurant. The smash burger was great and prepared as I requested. The tenders were juicy and the heat amount dialed in just as explained. All the orders come with well seasoned, crispy crinkle cut fries. Will definitely return. read more

Real nice folks, clean, several TVs. Only thing they're missing is beer lol. Had to sign a waiver for the Reaper. To be fair it was awful damn hot, but not giving up flavor. Crispy chicken, crunchy slaw and the RR sauce / pickles all good. It's def sloppy so make sure to have your napkins ready. I'm not a big fry guy but they are good. Got it to go so will crisp em up later in the air fryer. And as Sean from Hot Ones would say, watch it around the eyes and well yeah that too. I figure anyplace that makes me sign a waver is due a phone call for sheer pride and reputation. The reaper is a once in awhile. Just like other places I go with 10 alarm heat. Gonna try a notch down next time. Same order tho. #4. Nice and simple. I understand why all the other reviews are this good. As said before it is funny as hell that there are two joints kitty corner across from one another. Better to be happy than complain tho. More non major chains the better in my book. Oh and if you're going for the reaper, unless you can go without your nose running and eyes tearing, I'd recommend to go. Took me no time to blow though that beer read more

Crazy that our little old town of Rowlett has TWO hot chicken places!! So of course, that leads me to compare them. I tried both Rooster Roo & Lava Chicken, & Rooster Roo is the winner, no competition. Ricky's is my favorite hot chicken place in Dallas, but now I don't need to drive out there anymore thanks to RR. I got the #5, took a quick pic before almost inhaling it. Taste, flavor, spice level (hot) was amazing. Lava chicken unfortunately just tastes like different intensities of paprika on their chicken, personally won't be going back there, but Rooster Roo, count me in as a regular customer :) read more

Really, Really, Really Good!!! Don't miss out...we need to keep this place open in Rowlett. Great portions of delicious Hot Chicken. Tender as can be, with excellent service to boot . read more

My wife and I stopped by Friday night, not knowing what to expect, but let me tell you, the food was fantastic, and the customer service was on point. read more

This is a new restaurant in Rowlett. The chicken was amazingly tender with crunch. I had the light mild which was perfect for just a slight bit of hot. The setting is very nice with new flooring and inviting ambience. Thank you to the manager and cook! He was very accommodating and gracious! Will spread the word within our neighborhood! read more

This place is a must!! We had a fantastic experience from the amazing food to the kindest customer service.

Love the chicken and the smashburger is top notch! Service is friendly, pleasant, and gracious. The new patio set up is great for an outdoor dinner! I 100% recommend read more

This place is great! The chicken was juicy, not overly hot at mild, with a nice zing. The topping goes amazingly well the chicken. The fries were perfectly seasoned. The food was made fresh, which I appreciate. They bagged it nicely too for us. It does take a little time even if their is only mild traffic. But it was worth it. The place was also nice and clean, and in a good area. This seems like a nice little gem. Definitely give it a shot! read more

Wow! Friendly folks, diner vibe, good service, chicken is fresh, crispy, juicy, flavorful, sandwich was well made, good bread, slaw and pickles, Sause was spot on. Fries were just right, and the ranch dip was good. Next time I'm going for the smashburger, burgers are my favorite food group. Looking forward to my next visit. price point is good too; I got everything I wanted and took home the fries. read more

Full disclosure I'm a huge Lava Hot chicken fan. Finally made it to RR today. Staff were extremely helpful and nice! Had the #1 hot 2 sliders. Very tasty chicken and slaw. Sauce was good. Fries were ok. For portion size and better flavor and better tasting fries with the ability to pour as much sauce as you want, I have to give the edge to LHC. read more

Rooster Roo Hot Chicken - #4 - Chicken Shop Near Me - Rowlett, Texas

This is some very tasty chicken tenders. I can't put my finger on the breading but I like it. I went with medium spice as I am sensitive to all things hot. While the kick is there it was very flavorful. The owners were super chill and very welcoming making you feel a part of the community as soon as you walk in which always a great thing. While the dining area is minimalist it is very clean and inviting. I will be going back again. read more

Came here for the first time after tons of recommendations. Immediate good vibes from the crew, everyone stoked to be there and serve some heat. Customer service is top notch, and all that before the food. They popped off with some crazy good chicken, and we got the loaded fries too which are insanely good. Im not a coleslaw guy so Sam (who I assume is the owner) came up and chatted with me about it, putting me on to their crazy good slaw, which I'll have to get every time now. Their food is so good, and the folks up there deserve some praise for their work! Dont sleep on this food yall, the vibes and the food are heat read more

Rooster Roo Hot Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Rowlett, Texas

We've been eating Rooster Roo sandwiches at the northside in Rockwall for a few years now and it's always been our favorite. We were so excited when they opened up a storefront in Rowlett! Their sandwiches are phenomenal, perfectly seasoned with great heat. Service here was quick and easy (we ordered ahead on the phone and ate inside). Only downside- they didn't have any high chairs which was ironic cause while we were in there, there were 3 separately families who needed at least one highchair each. We told them they should totally invest in a few (hopefully they have since then)! Hoping they'll start frying in beef tallow like their competitor (Lava Chicken) across the street in Rowlett too! read more

Had the smash burger. This will be my go to burger in Rowlett from now on if I am bringing it home. Unfortunately, they do not have mustard as an option as a condiment so will not be able to pick up burgers from them to eat in or take out when I am not going home. I eat burgers out a lot and would have loved to make this place my go to place for that, but I'm gonna have to stick to Burger Island for now. Hope they decide to add mustard as an optional condiment in the future. Fries were nice and crispy. Overall, it was great. read more

The chicken was fresh and absolutely delicious. It's clear they cook everything to order--it didn't taste like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for hours. I can't wait to go back! read more

I just ate one of their Smashburgers...it was awesome!! They don't sell just chicken. I wished I had taken a picture of it. Next time I will. Highly recommend them! read more

Found this place today and picked up a couple sandwiches. Delicious and very friendly/appreciative welcome when walking in. Will be back to eat inside. Happy to support this small business. read more

Good food, fast service and good people communication, tried the ghost pepper and oh boy it was spicy.

Sam was super nice and gave us a full run down of everything they offer. The chicken was just as good if not better than Hattie B's and I LOVE Hattie B's. This place is a gem! read more

The food was incredibly delicious, and the service was top-notch. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!
