Food was really good and well priced for it these days. Had a brisket burger and it was delicious. The homemade chips were just right. And the bacon jam was a nice touch on the side. (i asked for it). It wasn't too loud or too quiet, and the service was just the right amount of "whaddya need" without too much over the top. Therefore a nice spot to pop in for a good bite and not a lot of pressure. Would definitely come back here again. read more

VERDICT: After visiting two times, I really like this place! It does get pretty busy during lunch hour, so arrive early. Food is good and the prices are very fair for this area. BACKGROUND: This is a company favorite place to eat so one of my coworkers took me here. ATMOSPHERE It's got character! It's a divey place adorned with some really cool TX-themed signage and taxidermy. It's clean too. Though I haven't been out back, I do believe there's an outdoor patio area but no one is crazy enough to sit back there in this summer TX heat. It's not pretentious at all. All types of Denton-ites are here from all walks of life. I like it! FOOD So far I've stuck with their burgers, which are more akin to smash burgers without the onions. I just went with the cheeseburgers so far because its just the right amount of food for me not to go into a food coma an hour later. Yesterday though the burger was a bit too salty, so there's some feedback for the restaurant :) RETURN VISIT? Definitely. I've been meaning to bring my wife here too as I know the portion sizes will be more akin to what she can eat and plus the burgers aren't over the top extra (though you can order those if you like). Great job, RR! read more

Rooster's Roadhouse - Barbeque Near Me - Denton, Texas

My husband and I went here for a date night and it was such a great experience! We had Jackson as our server he was super nice and helped us with what to order! The brisket queso and double wells $4 drinks were 10/10! The food came out QUICK! I would definitely recommend this place! Good bbq, good service and good vibes! read more

It was a packed house for lunch but the service was great! Rooster tails and sliders was enough for two of us. Yep, you need to give it a try. read more

This is our second time here and can't believe I didn't post a review the first time. Absolutely one of my favorite burger joints in the metroplex. So a little different with Covid-19 but we still got inside within 5 minutes on a weeknight. Just be prepared for a wait on a weekend - this place is popular. Hannah was our server and the sweetest girl. She was so helpful and always attentive. She recommended the Redneck sushi as a starter. What a different take on sushi but really good. It's wrapped in a tortilla instead of rice. Different but we both gobbled it up. I ordered the same Chez Burger (comes with an egg on top) as the first time. Of course I added the "rooster tails". It's their take on onions rings but they are little bites of heaven with an incredible dipping sauce. My burger seriously made my mouth ignite with taste on every bite. Perfectly cooked and so much flavor. My wife had the King Brisket Burger. She raves about the bbq on top of the burger. If you have an appetite and want to combine the two best meats-this is the go to . Don't get to Denton much but I try to go up there once a year just to visit Roosters! read more

Food, service, and atmosphere were great. Service was quick, cocktail selection was amazing. We had an appetizer plate, brisket burger and a salad. Would definitely visit again. read more

The service was slow for a Tuesday and for a day that wasn't busy. I had the burger and it was okay! She didn't even bring me the sauce I asked for. And or utensils. She never came to check on our party either. read more

I was walking on the square and realized I needed to cool off pretty quick from the Texas heat so I ducked in this restaurant and sat in the floor. As I was trying to catch my breath, an employee with a dark beard with scraggly grey hairs in it began gently tapping me with his foot. He demanded I leave and didn't even ask if I was ok. read more

Three of us ordered LEAN sliced barbecue sandwiches. One sandwich was so full of fat and gristle that it was an edible . We did ask for a new sandwich and was provided a much better lean sandwich. The other two sandwiches were very grizzly and chewy. Very disappointed that we were served subpar barbecue. read more

This place is great! Near a cute strip of downtown Denton with a cute hip vibe to itself. Great music playing not too loudly in the background. The have a small front patio and also a hidden back patio also. The pulled pork nacho appetizer was beyond amazing! I have never personally found myself a fan of non-Mexican version of nachos however WOWZA! Mind = blown I got the sliders and they were loaded with fresh sautéed jalapeños and onions. Love how they use the sweet buns with them. My husband got the king brisket burger. He says easily one of those top 5 burgers. He loved the combination. I knocked the thought of a 5 star review as even though our waitress was tentative, she was a bit stand off ish. Not very "friendly". Secondly I had one pretty upset kid with a hot dog kids meal that although was good, was not typical and I feel kids meals should be a bit more "normal". Photo of his (possibly deep fried) hot dog attached. read more

This was my first time at Rooster's and i can't wait to go back! It definitely has chill dive bar vibes. There's indoor and outdoor seating available. The Bean & Chopped Brisket Queso was full of flavor. I loved that the chips were sturdy enough for it. I wish there was some spice to it, but definitely tasty and will get again. The half serving of the Red Neck Sushi came with 6 rolls. It was unique and soo good! It was a flour tortilla filtered with brisket, cheese, and I believe peppers? Not spicy, but came with a type of horseradish sauce on the side for an added kick. These two apps alone were enough for the two of us to get comfortably full. The cockeyed lemonade (frozen lemonade) was delicious with multiple flavors to choose from. The huckleberry flavor added a nice sour twist. read more

This is one of my favorite kind of places, because it wears its heart on it's sleeve. This is a chilled and relaxed place to come visit. Everything is very casual. The food is pretty consistent. The service is great as well. The one ding, and the only ding I can come up with is I wish they had more vegetarian options. I'll own the fact that I'm just moving back to the area, and I've only been there 2 or 3 times. But trying to keep my vegetarian wife happy is high on my life. I'd go there more often if they had more things for her. read more

I was not originally planning on coming here NYE, but Hoochies closing down at 4 forced me to call an audible and I found my way across the street to Roosters. This place was such a surprise. To me obviously, as I was not in the know. I just knew it was raining, I was hungry, and it was right there. First off, the service was excellent. Friendly but not pushy, and gave some good recommendations. They have amazing drink specials and an interesting menu. Fyi, they have a grilled veggie po boy and not just salads for the non meat eaters. I didn't go for that, but strayed away from my usual order of brisket, to try their pulled pork sandwich. The description said it came with a vinegar sauce and red onion marmalade. It was good. Real good. I loved the vinegar sauce, and my lovely waitress had them put the marmalade on the side, just in case. But omg it was so good. It seemed like pickled red onion with a little bit of jalapeno, and everything together made for an excellent sandwich. It came on Texas toast, which I didn't think was necessary. The sandwich was so flavorful it didn't need a buttery bread, and the bottom practically disintegrated beneath it. I don't care, bbq is messy and I had napkins. The homemade chips were super crunchy and perfectly cooked. When she dropped the check, I thought there had been a mistake. No mistake, they just have excellent prices. You also get a fortune cookie at the end of your meal. I walked in a bit disappointed and left very full and completely charmed. I will definitely come here again, this place rocks. read more

Extremely rude and food is basic. Called earlier and asked a quick question. they told me," honey it was lunch rush and call back later."

I've heard mixed reviews about this place but we decided to give it a try. We came around lunch time a Sunday, they weren't very busy and there were plenty of seating available both on the patio and inside. We didn't have to wait long to be seated. They have a pretty large menu and seem quite accommodating if you want to change or add additional things to your dish. They explained they have stars on the dishes that are the most popular which is good to know.We ordered the Rooster Tails which is beer battered onions with their sauce. It was quite good, it had a good seasoning without being too spicy. I also ordered the brisket burger with chips. The burger was good, big enough and good seasoning just a bit spicy but not too much. The chips were ok and seemed home made. The burger disappeared quickly! I was satisfied but my wife wanted to try their peach cobbler so I ordered a pecan pie with ice cream for myself. It turns out that they didn't have peach cobbler prepared at the time, the manager came out and apologized and brought her a blue berry cobbler and comped it which I thought was really nice! It's not until things don't go great that you see how a restaurant treats their customers and I this was far better than I would have expected. The service was good throughout and the meal for both of us was $26 or so which I thought was a good price. I was stuffed after we left. read more

Phenomenal BBQ at a great price. Not a "Traditional" BBQ type restaurant, but their pulled pork sandwich is unbelievable (especially with the pickled onions - which I can't believe I loved). Also their "Smoked Tenderloin Cheesesteak" is world class! read more

The only other time I can recall ordering a steak finger basket, I was at Dairy Queen. Rooster's steak fingers are WAY BETTER than Dairy Queen's. Strait up, I would have to say Rooster has perfected the steak finger. Also, they have tater-tots, which is always a big plus in my gullet. read more

Our favorite restaurant in Denton. We'd go every week when living in the area. Stopped by few weeks ago still good as ever.

Good serving sizes; was very full after eating. Had to pay extra for BBQ sauce, which was just in a tiny ramekin. Brisket was dry. Tots were crispy. It was decent. read more

I have been trying out different BBQ places in Denton throughout the week. By far, this one is SUPERB! Came here on Tuesday and I ordered a burger with all different types of meat. Very well done and great attitude with the servers. Husband ordered a little plate with a side of chips. Sweet tea was good. Will be back. read more

Very friendly staff. Will definitely be going back again. read more

OH Texan in town from GA. Got take out 2 dif nights. Service great Food good. But, not as good as I remember TX Bbq growing up in TX read more

Enjoy a bacon shot and a great burger. We went during a local event and the service was still prompt.

Fun place to hang with friends. We'll be back soon. Great drinks! Friendly service for sure.

Good food! Cool atmosphere! Friendly staff! Brisket burger is great and so are the chips! read more

We were told to go to Rooster's as they had great BBQ. We ordered the brisket queso & chips. It was pretty good and she brought us more chips when we ran out. I ordered the Pork Sandwich. Our order arrived pretty quickly. My small portion of pork was on two pieces of Texas Toast and no sauce? I prefer a bun and bbq sauce as who eats a dry sandwich?? How about some pickles too? I asked if they had potato salad but was told they didn't have that. I guess I am used to these traditional BBQ dishes. My husband had to go ask for some BBQ sauce as the the server never showed up again until the end to bring us the check. I think we will go to Rudy's or try other BBQ spot in the area next time as overall, it was just ok. read more

if i could give 0 i would. service was bad, food was mediocre, and the red neck sushi was stolen from the rusty buckle bbq company. then they have the audacity to call out a small restaurant in SANGER TX about stealing the brisket sushi. horrible manager. DO NOT RECOMMEND read more

Thank you Yelpers for directing me to another great find while on the road!! I was drawn to Roosters for the Cuban and the bean & brisket queso and It was delightful!! I had me a well seasoned and portioned Cuban sandwich with tender pork, pickles, cheese and mustard. I chose the homemade chips and a side of cowboy slaw... what a pair to add to this delicious selection. Let's not forget the app I ordered... bean and brisket queso.... WOW!!!!! Enough said. Delicious, cheesy and definitely something to order on the next visit. The staff were happy, attentive and polite. They were quick to greet, seat and serve. Very little wait time to get my food at least on this Tuesday night. If you're looking for something a little different, I would suggest finding a Rooster's near you. I was not disappointed and I will make a point to return next time I'm in town! Enjoy! read more

Rooster's Roadhouse - Kids menu - Barbeque Near Me - Denton, Texas

This place was amazing and I would be there all the time if I lived there. Something for everyone and the food was crazy good. Great prices.

We've come here for many years and have always loved this place. We come here for my mom's birthday, she passed away in 2015 and this was her favorite restaurant. When we came today we did not a very great experience.. I started off with a Buckle bunny lemonade and was given a water from the west. I had three people to try it to make sure I wasn't being dramatic, when I told the waitress what happened she gaslit all of us to say we were wrong. When my 1 meat plate showed up there was no bbq sauce, again no big deal. My sister ordered the brisket queso with no bbq sauce and was given bbq sauce in it. When asked for it to be fixed we were given attitude. AND THEY BROUGHT IT BACK WITH BBQ SAUCE. We then asked for a slice of cheese and pickles for my sister's sandwich and was looked at like we were crazy. Then when it was brought to us she basically threw it at us. In all just a bad experience. The attitude and the multiple mistakes was a mess.. we asked for a manager and apparently there aren't any on staff. read more

This is a Roadhouse and food is great. Favorite is redneck sushi. Burgers are top notch and service is good. Atmosphere is fun and inviting.

This place is in such a cute area, and you walk inside and get that dive-y diner-ish vibe and I was just obsessed with it. We walked in around 7pm for dinner on a Wednesday, it was semi empty, but within minutes the place was totally packed. And for good reason! The food is delicious, rooster tails were so crispy, and that side sauce (can't remember the name of it) was just to die for! It was spicy creamy deliciousness. Will totally be back here again, loved the environment and the food!! read more

Meeting a friend up in Denton and decided to check out Rooster's. The service was quick and friendly. Started with the fried pickles which had a great cornmeal batter and tasted handmade. I had the Tenderloin Cheese steak Sandwich and she had the Cuban. Both were delicious featuring their house smoked meats. Outdoor dining and reasonable prices will definitely get my return visit. read more

Food was fair at best. Burgers at RG's is much better. The rooster tails (fried onions) tasted like the grease they were fried in was old. We won't go back. read more

Located in an area where parking could be a challenge at crowded hours. We lucked out and got a spot around the corner. Right next to Fuzzy's tacos which was a bit confusing, because Fuzzy's has a lot of signage! Hard floors and sports on TV add to the noise level. We were seated in a booth which proved comfortable. A boisterous place which smelled deliciously of BBQ when we entered. Therefore I got a brisket sandwich and it was good. I wished for a little more meat however. Toppings plentiful and flavorful. Fries were average - not as good as I could do in my own air fryer. My wife had a salad meal which was all iceberg lettuce and so she was disappointed. Beer was cold although the selection is fairly pedestrian. Service was very pleasant and fairly prompt, although I found myself flagging down the odd server to get attention. So maybe not as good as all that. Folks eating outside with their dogs, so if that bothers you, now you know. I love the good puppy dog so it was no issue to me. Overall a pleasant experience. I'd give it a B and we might well return at some point. But with so many dining options in the rejuvenated Denton it might be a while. read more

I would do 6 stars if I could. Omg this place was amazing. At our table we had sliced brisket sandwich, catfish, and Texas hot chicken sandwich. All were freaking amazing! We found out new favorite place!!! Also great service and cheap drinks!!! read more

Important notice.... try the Breakfast Shot. That's all my friend could talk about was this amazing shot that taste like pancakes. He wasn't lying. The shot has 3 parts. You down a mixture of ? peach liquor? and Jameson first and then a shot of OJ and lastly a crisp piece of bacon to finish off your breakfast, lol. It amazing but the first mixture smells just like pancakes. It's sooooo good. We had a couple of those shots. We also did a Grape Soda shot. It taste just like a grape soda and you can't taste any alcohol. Since we had already eaten up the road we didn't have any food but the menu is full of very unique items. I would definitely return for more shots and to try their food. Rooster's Roadhouse 113 Industrial St Denton, TX 76201 Sunday July 8, 2018 8:15pm read more
