    Grilled chicken fingers
    Jenn K.

    We went for lunch after doing some shopping . We were greeted by a very friendly host and seated immediately. Our server came by and informed us that we could scan the bar code for the drink menu. I ordered a Stella beer and my friend had the Strawberry Mash . (I wish I had ordered one as well it was that good !). We both ordered the grilled chicken fingers . We also ordered potato skins and fried mushrooms. The chicken fingers were HUGE and the serving was four of them. They were grilled to perfection and tender. The potato skins were crispy on the bottom and really good as well. The basket of fried mushrooms were crispy &hot. The interior is done in wood as we sat in a booth . They had assorted signs and pictures on the walls . We'll definitely be back again for the Strawberry Mash and more food .

    Rachel was our server today and she did a good job. Ordered 50 wings plus an additional 10 wings. All three flavors we ordered were good. The dumpster fires were delicious. They also provide a military discount which is much appreciated. Since it's almost Christmas we decided to tip the bill. I'm sure Rachel was surprised and we hope she has blessed Christmas.

    This place is kind of like Hooters, a lot of college crowd, but that is to be expected with University of Kentucky Campus located in Lexington. We started off Soft Baked Pretzels with Nacho Cheese. My wife had the Grilled Chicken Salad and I had the Red Rooster Sals, the special house dressing is amazing. Next we chose the winds, they offer 11 sauces ranging from Teriyaki to the "Nu-Killer" served in 2 oz offerings. My wife had the Honey BBQ and the Sweet Thai Chili. I had the Nu-Killer and the Korean BBQ sauces. The Koren BBQ is Gochujanj and similar to Sriracha and is solid heat, They also have offerings a variety of burgers as well as chicken sandwiches and also Pizzas and subs as well. My wife confirmed the sauces were as described and non remarkable. The wings were larger than most places. Usually I have to have 10-15 wings to fill up, this was close to 10 to being stuffed. The wings are well cooked and each one had a lot of meat on the bone. The Nu-Killer is not the hottest wings I ever had. The taste was more a habanero/cayenne base. They were great wings but far from the spiciest around. We were really skeptical about the breading, which usually means that they do not hold sauce well. However Roosters for the win here, the sauce soaks in to every crevice of the these traditional wings. There is not much else to say about it other than good quality and a tasty sauce (not spicy, nor should it be, just tasty). The heat level of Nu-Killer was much lower than we'd been told, an a disappointment in the heat level, but the wings themselves are immense and packed with flavor. If you're only seeking heat it may be possible to ask for no sauce and then toss them yourself in some your own preferred hot sauce or whatever floats your boat heat-wise, but if you're just looking for tasty wings, look no further.This was our first trip to Roosters and it's definitely a contender for a place to hit up on game day

    Roosters is located near Walmart on Nicholasville Rd. They specialize in wings, sandwiches, and pizza. The inside is very sports bar- like, and they always seem to attract a good crowd. They do have a rewards program if you register online. I especially enjoy the boneless wings, and they have many sauces to choose from. My friend and I always have wings left over to take home because they are a generous size. The fried pickles are great, but I have not really like the fries or potato wedges either time I have had them. Overall, the food is good as well as the service.

    No sauce. Just deep fried chicken.

    Average at best. Servers and bartenders cater to the regulars without much attention giving to the first timers. Food is OK. Noting special.

    Typical commercial enterprise. I'm dropping one star on account of their wings. They serve whole pieces of chicken. It's a sad practice.

    Very good food! The boneless wings didn't have to much breading and the potato wedges were great!

    We had reservations last night and got seated at one of the back tables past the bar, near the…read moreentrance to the kitchen. I had the Fish & Chips. It was enough for two people. My wife had a small Caesar Salad and cup of Chili. Our daughter ordered the small Caesar Salad with Grilled Chicken. Everything we ordered was delicious. Service was good.

    Visited on 6/11/26 party of 3 - bill before tip $87…read more Items ordered: shrimp focaccia, pimento, cheeseburger, pork, belly, burger, Frito, chili cheeseburger, brussels sprouts, french fries, asparagus, 2 beers The food was OK. Some items definitely stood out much better than other items. The shrimp focaccia appetizer was delicious 10 out of 10 however, the burgers had pretty wide range. The pimento cheeseburger was definitely the best. The pork belly burger was OK, but I would not ever order that again. And the Frito chili cheeseburger was definitely the worst. It tasted like a walking taco with a hamburger patty in it and to top it off the corn chips that I got were very stale. The brussels sprouts could've used a little more char and they weren't prepared properly as they still had a little bit too much stem on them. The french fries were unique and swirly, and tasted like a cross between a steak fry and a potato wedge and I thought they were very good. The asparagus was also just OK. We dined at the bar and I would have to say the service was quite disappointing. We weren't greeted very promptly and we weren't checked in on despite it not being very busy. The attitude of the bartender was quite dry and not friendly or welcoming. I am not familiar with The Walking Dead show, but apparently this restaurant has ties to it. I would not go out of my way to come back here. If I was around and it was an option, I might go back.
