Running Rooster - Hollister

Great service and food ,loves the atmosphere. Thank you

Restaurant is still listed on Open Table but the restaurant doesn't use the app anymore. We made reservations but they had no record of it because they stopped using Open Table. Luckily there was plenty of seating so no problem.

Great burgers but I guess everything on their menu is a la carte now. Fries not included. Seems like all the customers there today were not aware. Not good if you have to pay $20 for fries for 4 people. Burger by itself is $10. And they also charge doe a small taste of beer. Lol first time I heard about a place charging for a small taste of beer.

The food was ok. I was hoping for more flavors but typical diner food. The restaurant was clean and spacious. Although not sure if they're going for an unfinished barn look. There were small visible wall openings on the ceiling and planks that may have been left over. Again not sure the type of look for the restaurant. We sat down fairly quickly and got our food quickly. Garlic fries were too garlicky and the sourdough chicken sandwich was ok. My partner had a medium burger that looked, well done.

The Running Rooster restaurant is a charming little dine in with a delicious menu. From the moment you step in, you’re greeted by an enticing aroma of freshly prepared food. The menu provides a list of amazing food made with high-quality and fresh ingredients. Whether you're craving a juicy burger, a refreshing salad, or a decadent dessert, Running Rooster delivers on flavor and presentation. We tried the barnyard fries and jalapeño popper chips and dip as a starter. They did not disappoint! I am a big fan of jalapeño poppers so this starter was a must try. The flavor left me wanting more. We ordered chicken strips and fries for our kiddo and he ate the whole thing…(very rare! The fries (and everything else I swear are cooking in oil from the heavens. The food was not too oily and didn’t leave an oil taste in your mouth like a lot of other restaurants. My husband grabbed the Cowboy burger and I had the El Jefe. I was much more of a fan of the Cowboy as the spices were very potent. We love love love the yee-haw sauce!! It sounds spicier than it is and I could have dealt with more spice, but it is perfect for everyone! We were expecting to spend $150 on ALL that we ordered, but were pleasantly surprised that it was not that high. Overall, Running Rooster Restaurant is a must-visit for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience.
