Rooster Restaurant exceeded all expectations! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. Service was fast, knowledgeable, and courteous — they clearly care about the guest experience. The food was absolutely delicious. Every dish we ordered was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients and put thought into their menu. Whether you’re stopping by for brunch, lunch, or dinner, you’re in for a treat. The ambiance was also just right — cozy, stylish, and relaxed. We’ll definitely be coming back. A true gem!

My wife and I ate here last week for the first time. The food was very good. At the recommendation of our server I had the short rib and it was one of the best ones I've eaten. We split a kale Caesar salad and it was delicious. My wife chose the gourmet hamburger and she said it was "just OK". Our server was a rock star and made a great wine pairing recommendation for the short rib.

Had a lovely dinner celebrating my anniversary there. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was nice and cozy, and the open kitchen concept was cool. The service was fantastic. I made a reservation a few days before and mentioned that we’re celebrating our anniversary, and from the moment we stepped in until we left, the service was top notch. Different employees were congratulating us and checking on us throughout the evening to make sure we had everything we need. I wanna give a shot out to Kelsea for taking care of us that night and making sure it was special. We tried different appetizers and main dishes and it was all delicious. I’ve added pictures of everything we had. 10/10 experience for sure and I will definitely be going back.

I had an absolutely delightful dinner at Rooster Restaurant, and it’s easily one of my new favorite spots! The star of the show was their rotisserie chicken. The French fries were another highlight. Crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and seasoned just right, they were the perfect complement to the chicken. I couldn’t stop reaching for more! The service was friendly and attentive, with staff checking in just enough to make us feel cared for without being intrusive. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, ideal for a casual night out. Rooster Restaurant nailed the basics—great food, solid service, and a pleasant vibe. I’m already looking forward to my next visit to try more of the menu, but the rotisserie chicken and fries will be tough to beat. If you’re craving comfort food done right, don’t miss this gem!

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Rooster's Restaurant. The restaurant is nice and spacious. My waitress recommended the duck and hanger steak, and both dishes were delicious. We finished our meal with dessert and a couple of drinks. We will definitely be back!

Dining at Rooster’s Wood-Fired Kitchen was a lovely experience. Convenient to our hotel. We started with one of the signature cocktails and a classic neat Woodbridge Whiskey. For dinner We chose seared sea scallops and the red snapper with beets and onion rings, which were think, flaky, flavorful, and everything was beautifully presented. Our service was great; our server Hugh was attentive and knowledgeable, ensuring we had everything we needed without being intrusive. We left satisfied and eager to return. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a top-notch dining experience in Southpark Charlotte area.

Excellent environment, exceptional food, and wonderful service. Tim, our server, was very knowledgeable and his suggestions were perfect. The management team should be very proud and should celebrate this wonderful establishment and such a great waiter!! Give it a try!!

Hubby and I stopped by for date night. We both ordered a Caesar salad and were pleasantly surprised to see anchovies! The flavor was fantastic and definitely worth ordering again. All the food we ordered was exceptionally good, especially the duck breast, which was cooked evenly and perfectly. Drinks were great and not overly sweet like some other restaurants. Service was fantastic, Matthew was very attentive and friendly. Overall, we are very happy with our experience and will definitely be back!
