Fully loaded fries - took a photo after eating most of them lol
Erin P.

AMAZING! Highly recommend the loaded fries and any of the sandwiches. Soo good. Didn't get a pic of the food until we had almost eaten it all.

FYI the chicken tenders are large. I got 5 and 3 was plenty. Depending on the spice level, honestly the Nashville hot was everything they said its flavor is on point. Now I would probably try the step down from there, next time. But, it was amazing. You can get it hotter, I am glad I didn't. The waffle fries were wonderful. Hot and crisp. The gentleman that took our order actually cared and talked to us, he was super nice. Asked us how our days was going. The bathrooms were completely clean. The restaurant was clean. It's newer so it was in good shape. :-)

Waffle fries
Alyssa H.

We stopped here on our way through town and color me impressed!! Everything was delicious. I got the grilled chicken and it was perfect. Most of the time Nashville chicken relies on hot oil but the chicken wasn't oily at all and was super flavorful. The waffle fries were top notch! And the service was great. It was a little pricey but as is everything these days. I will definitely be back!

This sandwich is drop dead fire! I mean you can control the heat on it with the different heat options, but whichever option is your flavor of choice rest assured you will be pleased. Simple stuff done right on this sandwich, not too much oil in the breading, bun was stable and not soggy which is so important to enjoy a good chicken sandwich, and lets not rule out the presentation which my photos don't do justice. They do go above and beyond here and you can tell the staff loves the product, as well. They keep the environment around here fun, casual, clean, and well organized. Perfectly done roosty toasty chicken sandwich!

As a lover of all forms of chicken, especially chicken tenders, had to come give this place a try. I like the different options that they offer including chicken sandwiches, grilled chicken, chicken tenders, chicken bites, and even salads. A couple different sauce options as well. What I didn't love was the price and the fast food level quality. The fries instantly reminded me of "that other company's" waffle fries and everything else seems like it was frozen and tossed into a fryer. In my opinion, this establishment would be better as a drive through. This does not have the same level of quality as a place like The Cookshack or Pluckers would have. Still pretty good, just a step down.

Location was easy to find, love the drive thru option. It's located almost across the street from Chick-Fil-A and like 3 doors down from Canes. Figured give it a shot, as the reviews looked good. Food: good, wasn't (wowed) but it was good overall. Got the fully loaded fries and than extra chicken tenders on the side. Lite Nashville Heat with their signature sauce. Fries were so-so. Crispy and loaded up really well. But the sauce had a sweet taste too it and I didn't like the combo of that on my fries. Strips alone were much better than on the fries. Service: doesn't compare to other places. Staff seemed in different to my being there. But my order was quick and hot, so I won't complain too much.

Chickie Bites

My husband, baby and I tried this for the first time today and all I can say is WOW. We walked in and Luis helped explain the menu, the different flavors, and what he recommended. We had a pretty difficult large order since we wanted our baby to try everything and he was so kind and patient the whole time. The food is amazing, the seasoning and sauces are 10/10. These are next level chicken nuggets

After unwrapping foil, it's kinda small.

Updated reviews, No Thank You. However, I really wanted to try their Chicken Sandwich! It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon! Guess, what I was craving? You guessed it, Chic fil-A. Their closed on Sundays so, I decided Rule the Roost would be the next best thing. Rule the Roost will be rated with three P's. The environment was PLEASANT, the service was PLEASANT and it was pleasure to see that their still open in times like these. Simply Country with no heat for $4.99 was what I ordered. It came with a fresh warm glossy bun with a well breaded crispy Chicken Breast and pickles. It's definitely not Chick- fil-A but, it's worthy giving them a try.

One of the coolest Sandwich Shops I've ever been too! All the decor inside, is of a Firehouse…read moreStation. As soon as you walk in, you quickly notice the restaurant resembles a Fire Station. The have a Fireman's Uniform on display, the tables are Dalmatian print to symbolize the dog at a Fire Station station, red buckets are by the cashier to help you remember they use buckets to put the fires out too, they also have rectangled windows that you would find on a Bunk Room. I was greeted right away by a Hispanic Female. She had a thick accent but was really nice. She told me to take my time since it was my first time here. The crew was all Hispanic. They had the place kept clean. I ordered a small Turkey Sandwich but, she gave me a Medium Sized Sandwich? I ordered a gluten free bread but was charged a 1.00 more . I didn't see that it would cost more and she didn't explain that either. The bread was flavorless but, full filling. I didn't feel stuffed afterwards. My friends bread fell apart and got messy. Not sure what happened? The Turkey was sliced super thin with a thin serving of Turkey. There was a surplus of Shredded Lettuce, the Mayo was sweet, I prefer sliced Pickles vs a small Dill Spear. My Potato Soup was warm delicious, loaded with Chunks of Potatoes. The Oyster Crackers were some of the best I've had. I got two packs for a small bowl of soup. The have a Coca Cola Free Style Machine. I was able to try a few drinks. Coke Zero was ok. I tried a Vanilla Coke Zero. It was delicious. It tasted just like a Vanilla Coke. I also tried a new Flavor Called Tropical Coke Zero. It tasted sweet with a subtle taste of Cherry and Pineapple. Restrooms are clean. Prices are high. It was like $35.00 for two people? It was pretty busy with steady customers coming in. I would definitely recommend this place. I think the Kiddos would love this place.

So if you wanna go here to eat, but want friendly service, you won't find it. The dude was an asshole!!!

The young woman at the register was very nice while taking our order and patient as it was our first time. The inside was a bit tight, yet welcoming but understandable for a small local business. The young lady brought out half our order. I had asked for the chicken to be warm on my salad, it was not. No biggy the flavor was good. But we had gotten about half way through our meal and the rest of the order was not out. My wife waited in line to ask about it. When she got to the register an older woman was very short and dismissive with her. My wife put in a second order for my daughter, to go. The rest of our order did not come out till our to go order did. My wife was not happy with the dismissive attitude so she went to the car. I went up to order dessert and the same older woman was not very personable while taking my order. Overall the food was good, the atmosphere was comfortable, but the interaction with the older woman changed our experience. We may or may not try it again. And the dessert was fantastic.

Just different. And the Mac was not my favorite. Once I saw they pour the bag of Mac n cheese in a heater. Then I was like ahh. I just figured it would be home made like the pies and chicken. Our waiter was sweet and we even had dessert. Recommend the chocolate pie warmed with ice cream. Love. Definitely not too bad. Will come back again. And try different sides.

The chicken itself was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with that signature seasoning that keeps you coming back for more. But let me tell you--the fried pickles are hands down my absolute favorite! Perfectly crispy, not greasy at all, and served hot with that irresistible crunch. I could honestly order those alone and be happy. The atmosphere was laid-back and welcoming, and the service matched the quality of the food--friendly, fast, and attentive. If you're craving real, flavorful fried chicken with a kick, Gus's is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back!

This place is an institution. It's been here forever. And it has stood the test of time for good…read morereason. It was originally a grocery store that also served burgers. But the burger counter was so popular, now the whole place is a classic burger joint. And the burgers are really good -- as are the onion rings and fried okra. (We haven't tried the fries yet.) The onion rings are flavorful, crispy, and surprisingly peppery. You order at the counter, and they call your name when your order is ready. Everything is packed to go but you can eat there (they have plenty of seating). The only issue I had was that if you go to the tables to sit while you wait for your order, you can't hear the names they're calling out. They offer beer and ice cream as well, including Shiner and Blue Bell. Go Texas :-) I had the regular cheeseburger, "Cowtown Style" (with grilled onions and Jalapeno). I loved it! It's an old fashioned place - a trip down memory lane - a throwback to simpler times. And I loved it!

7/6/26. I don't need to go into the history of this place. It is well documented. Suffice to say I…read morehave been going here since I was a kid (we won't say how long ago that was, but the burgers were 65 cents). I had to be in the neighborhood so decided to hit it up for lunch. There wasn't even a line, which is unusual. I quickly ordered and received my order within 5 minutes. Everything was hot and fresh, and generally good as always. If nothing else they are consistent. The 1/2 lb patty, melted cheese, all the vegetables were there in ample amounts. However a few critiques are in order. The meat was bordering on overwhelming in size and could have used some seasoning. It lacked some flavor; perhaps a mix with a tad more fat (ok the haters are going to come after me now, but we all know fat is flavor). The cheese got lost in the size of the meat and almost seemed to not be there. All in all a good (not great) fresh old fashioned cheeseburger. I do have a gripe about the onion rings. Every single ring, which were only about 5 rings, consisted of a microscopically thin "slice" of onion that couldn't be tasted and hardly existed, and a lot of batter. The batter was well seasoned, but come on guys. Give us a decent sized ring will ya?! Of course I will come back because this is an institution on the west side of Fort Worth where I grew up. I always seem to run into some of the long standing regulars there for a nice friendly meal.
