Red Rooster Roadhouse - Cairo

I had been to the Rooster many times for beers with friends. Always friendly bartenders, cold beer and cool atmosphere. This past weekend was my first visit here strictly for dinner (of course I had a few adult cocktails as well). With our 8 year old son in tow, we stopped in on a Thursday night around 6pm. There is a family friendly dining area as you come in the door and we were greeted and seated right away. Waitress grabbed our drink order as our son was given crayons and a kids menu. A few other families were there with their kids and numerous crayon drawings adorning the walls reassured us that this was a family restaurant. Nice menu with good variety of pub grub. It was wing night so When in Rome . There was an all you can eat offering but neither of us had that kind of appetite so we opted for an order of boneless wings each. I got the Nashville hot and she got the Hot Buffalo. The portions were large and the sauces were great. The Nashville is a bit on the tamer side of hot and the hot buffalo was both hot and tasty. Definitely get the wings. We also got an order of the Rooster Balls. For the record, these are not actually the balls of a rooster. Chunks of white chicken wrapped in bacon and cheese and fried served with a remoulade side sauce. I 'm drooling as I type that. Our son got the adult version of the chicken tenders with fries on the side. He seemed to enjoy the tenders but the fries were the star of the night. We basically cleaned his plate for him as they were cut and cooked perfectly. To summarize, great for drinks and great for a family night out. Friendly staff, reasonable prices and delicious grub. Plenty of parking, not far off the highway. And as my son would say free wifi! . We will be back often.

Past it a hundred times over the years.I finally went there,glad I did .Big restaurant and bar.Freindly staff with good food and service.

Great place for dinner and drinks. I especially like the French dip, so delicious! Wraps are great as are the Rooster bowls. Fried chicken sandwich is delish, cajun chicken pasta yum!

After arriving at an odd Airbnb in a secluded area, we really needed a spot to eat and chill. This was the perfect spot. It has a classic small town feel with friendly people, solid prices and tasty bar food. I had probably the most interesting wrap to date. It had chicken, tots, bacon, jalapeños, and a bunch of other stuff. I don't think it was called the kitchen sink wrap but it might have well been, it hit the spot that night for sure. Hope to go back next time we hit Hunter!

Still in time of Covid, still haven't been INSIDE, but we have ordered from Rooster a few more times, so worthy of an update. Everything we've had has been really good the boneless wings seem more like popcorn chicken, but they look hand cut, and they had tons of sauce options. We got the Rooster burger that has rooster sauce and fried pickles the pickles are very dill pickle y! The fries were not at all soggy this time, if anything they were a little overdone this time. I love French fries in any form, so crunchy and slightly overdone were fiiiiine by me. We also have had the rooster bowl, which is the KFC bowl oh my goooossshhhh it was good. Staff is still really friendly, still hoping to get in there in person some day!
