    We arrived at Roosters during their lunch hour on a Saturday with over 40 people and did not call ahead, we were seated immediately, and kindly as if no annoyance to them at all. They were prompt with our food, providing us with drinks, getting food out and all of our refills/sauces/additions. Our waitress was AMAZING!!! Truly, she was so sweet, didn't rush us when trying to wrangle our rowdy boys to get their orders, had a smile on her face the entire time & was just truly amazing. The food was delicious, our entire group received our food hot & at the same time which is an accomplishment in itself. Our 4yo had the chicken wrap & LOVED it, we also had the fried chicken sandwich, fries & the Roosters Nest (tots instead of fries) and it was delicious!! It was our first time here and will absolutely be returning! Again, to our waitress today- you were INCREDIBLE!!!

    Korean Barbecue omg very good, ordered extra to take home

    Been there several times, always good food fast service and great atmosphere, remember coming here when it was chi chi's, the wings especially the Korean barbecue are great, pizza is great, we always order extra because we rarely get to this side of town

    Grilled chicken salad (Cajun seasoning) w spicy ranch

    Went to roosters for the first time with a VERY large group (talking like 20+ people). Service was very good for our group being so large!! Absolutely loved the full grilled chicken salad. I got the salad with Cajun seasoning and spicy ranch as my dressing, very good! Salad came with tons of chicken!

    My parents live off of Dixie, so we find ourselves at this Roosters location nearly once a month for dinner. The restaurant is generally crowded but the plaza is large, so parking is never a problem. During our most recent visit, we had a party of six. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure that our visit even with a wild three-year-old was enjoyable. Food all came out as we ordered it (I will say based on our total number of visits, things generally come out correctly 80% of the time. I feel like every 4th or 5th visit something will go awry but they're generally kind and swift to resolve any problems) and was tasty! It was my sister in laws birthday and they even surprised her with a complimentary dessert. I highly recommend their salads and their chicken tenders (which are humongous.) Great variety of dipping sauces and spice levels. Overall, we will certainly continue to eat at Roosters even if there are some mishaps amd speed bumps along the way.

    Compared to other restaurants in this area, Roosters is normally staffed very well. The bar is well stocked. Tables and bar area are clean, as is the restroom. They have a decent selection of wing flavors and sandwiches to choose from. Their cheese sticks are very tasty as are their fried pickles. The managers are very professional and the lovely ladies behind be the bar always provide great customer service. Beer selection isn't the best. The prices are common among Louisville bars. They do have an excellent selection of spirits including Blanton's, Weller and Col. Taylor. They charge good prices for them. My biggest knock is the size of the menu. Sometimes less is better. There are way to many items to choose from. This can be frustrating for a newcomer, as like me, you don't want to be slow and waste the staff's time. Overall, very good restaurant. Especially for a chain.

    We stopped in here on a Sunday night for a dinner with a group of 9. I was so surprised how quickly we were seated and our serve can to take our orders. Sara was such a great server. She was prompt and sweet. Our food came out quickly and correct. She checked on us often to make sure we had what we needed. And they have that amazing Rocking Rooster drink. So good!

    Pretzel with cheese(shredded)

    I got shredded cheese for my cheese pretzels !!! What a crazy mistake! Sometimes I have to drive Back up there just to get the whole order remade!! Kitchen needs a little work, and leadership or effort !!! Burning the chicken and hurrying it up isn't quality !!! Seems like this place is quantity of quality! Get it out, hurry hurry ! And then boom, shredded cheese for your pretzel! Mind blown

    Located off the Watterson Expressway on Dixie Hwy sits Roosters. It's kinda hidden behind El Nopal and O'Charleys along with some other businesses in the shopping center. This is a very busy shopping center but you should have no problem finding parking. I went in at what seemed to be a slow time of the day. I just go and seat myself at the bar since it's only me in my party. It did take a few minutes to be waited on but not too long. I ordered one Yuengling Golden Pilsner, Mozzarella sticks as an appetizer and Medium boneless wings. It didn't take very long for my Mozzarella sticks to come out and shortly after my wings came out as well. Mozzarella sticks had the right amount of crunch but I wasn't very big on the marinara sauce that came with it. The Medium wings I ordered were bigger than your average chicken wings as you can see in my pic. It had the perfect amount of spice for Medium flavor. This is now one of my top picks for Wings. I will return eventually. The bartender was awesome, friendly and attentive. Everything went right this visit.

    I am so torn here. The food was like food my grandmother would make, which I really appreciate…read morebeing able to eat since she's passed on. It was not the best food in the world but the food here tastes like home to me. Just really well seasoned and old school. Now here's my issue. This establishment had me wait almost 90 minutes on a 92 degree day (WITH MY FIVE YEAR OLD) for two meals. They had already taken my money, otherwise I would have booked it. Here's what I ate: 1. Fried Pork Chop with mashed potaotes (they were out of potato salad) and greens, gravy on the side 2. Ribs with macaroni and cheese and Pinto Beans I also got a blackberry cobbler. I checked in after 30 minutes and they weren't sympathetic. I looked at these reviews later and saw that someone said the customer service at this establishment was hilarious and they were not kidding. Here's how everything tasted: Pork Chop: very flavorful, glad I got fried and not smothered for texture reasons Mashed potatoes: good and real, but nothing to write home about Ribs: They were okay. tender. tasted like they were boiled and that's not my preference...they were also swimming in sauce. I feel like ribs should be able to stand up without the sauce and I was not sure this could happen here. The bbq sauce is part of the dish for them. Greens: overly salted, underseasoned...they needed to be eaten by the pinto beans Pinto beans: absolutely no salt--would not order again Macaroni and cheese: this is the creamy kind, not the baked kind (not my preference. Gravy: excellent Blackberry Cobbler: FIVE STARS. Delicious, buttery, so tasty. I went home and tried to make one. Seriously: no notes here. It is a must try. Charging 2 dollars for a cup of kool-aid is insane. with this kind of customer services, it would be nice if they threw that sugar water in for free. I skipped it, but just thought I would mention if you plan on trying to have some for nostalgic reasons. I haven't had any in about 30 years and I was planning on it but not when I saw the price tag. I live in Illinois, but if I ever do visit again I will call my order in, go sight seeing and then pick up my food. Don't bring your kids to this establishment unless they have confirmed your order is ready!

The dining area is small and no frills, so I'd probably use the drive-thru or take it to-go next time. We ordered the 4 whole spicy wings meal with two sides. I was surprised they include the entire wing, including the tip. Each wing comes with the drum, flat, and tip. The wing tip is actually my favorite part, and it's rare to find restaurants that leave it on. The chicken was incredibly crispy without being greasy, and the spicy seasoning had just the right amount of heat. I want that recipe! For our sides, we doubled up on the potato wedges, and they absolutely lived up to the hype. They seem like they're coated in the same seasoned batter as the chicken, giving them an extra crispy crunch on the outside. Pro tip: Order the purple drink! It has a grape flavor with a fruity twist, and it pairs perfectly with the spicy chicken. Overall, Chicken King is worth a stop if you're in Louisville. Between the huge portions and affordable prices, it's easy to see why it's been a longtime favorite among locals.

Crunchy breading, juicy and tender inside. They were not spicey or dripping in any sauce, just regular breaded and I thought "I am going to have to go to this place soon" After doing some research I found that they have drive thru only for dinner hours. So I made my trip down Broadway to Chicken King and could not miss the big yellow sign nor the already 7 cars in the drive thru. Since this chicken has a otremendous fan base, I considered myself lucky to be #8 in line as others pulled behind me. The menu is packed full of items, so my first tip is to look up the menu online before you go...less pressure once you arrive...lol I ordered the 8 PC box (regular) for my husband, 3 PC tenders (that comes with 3 potato wedges) for myself and a medium peach cobbler to share. I was very disappointed that the tenders were not fresh nor freshly breaded. They were pressed and glued white meat formed into a tender. I actually only ate one, shared one with my dog and threw the last one away. The potato wedges were the star. I should have ordered more of those. My husband, who LOVES fried chicken was not impressed. He said KFC and Golden Corral has better. The peach cobbler was average. So, I am sorry to summarize our experience as not having a reason to return.

We chose the main floor bar because there were less people and we were helped right away. We got a couple drinks each and all were pretty good- no watered down drinks here! My favorite was the espresso martini. We also opted for the Doritos nachos which were pretty filling for an appetizer! The menu states it's for 3-4 people, but it was a good serving for just the two of us. It had Doritos, cheese, pickled onions, lime, jalapeños, and a mixture of beans and it was delicious. We overall spent about $70.

It has a cozy, charming atmosphere that's perfect for catching up with friends. Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired. It took a long time for us to be greeted, even though the restaurant wasn't busy. It was just my friend and me along with a larger group of about 10 people. One thing that made it confusing was that the employees didn't seem to have consistent uniforms, so it was difficult to tell who actually worked there. Our server was friendly, but he kept forgetting items we requested and took a long time to return to our table. I used to be a server myself, so I understand that things happen and I try to give people grace. However, the pace of service felt excessive considering how few tables were occupied. The food was okay overall, but I actually thought my meal tasted better after reheating the leftovers at home. My friend also noticed that part of her chicken looked undercooked, which was concerning. We didn't feel confident about that portion of the meal. The biggest downside for me was the pricing. For the portion sizes, food quality, and overall experience, it felt overpriced. I can definitely see why people like the atmosphere because it's a cute spot, but between the slow service, the concerns with the food, and the prices, my visit didn't live up to my expectations. I'm hoping this was just an off day because the restaurant has a lot of potential.

We had a choice between sitting inside or being seated at a picnic table on the covered deck. We were assigned a high-top table in the dining area past the bar, where a few guys were watching a soccer match. The brine-soaked fried chicken is Eagle's specialty, so we ordered it. I thought the chicken was good,. So per the menu for the three-piece fried chicken meal, you can only order either all white meat or all dark meat. Interestingly, the two people at our table that ordered white meat still got a drumstick with their meat. The last I checked, drumsticks were considered dark meat. For an appetizer, we ordered the hush puppies. They had a nice crunchy texture but were very spicy hot. We also ordered the spoonbread. This was my favorite dish of the day. It was served warm, had a great texture and a light maple flavor. With our meals, we could get two sides. We requested the collard greens, green beans, fries, grits and mac & cheese. Only the mac & cheese was good. The collard greens were way salty and the green beans had odd and unexpected seasonings. Our dining companion was put out, and understandably so, that the menu said the grits came with white cheddar cheese. But instead, though the grits maybe had cheese, they were also loaded with loads of diced jalapeno. They were so over the top spicy, none of us could eat the grits. The fries were strongly seasoned with oregano. WTF? Our entrees came with biscuits. The biscuits were tasty, but unfortunately, because they contained too much shortening, fell apart when buttering them. And that leads up to the service lapse. After we received our check, our server completely disappeared. We waited a half hour for her to re-appear, gave up and asked another server to cash us out. He disappeared and we waited some more. Finally the red-headed server re-appeared and breezily explained she had been out on the deck the whole time. No apology or anything.
