I wanted to grab a quick lunch, so we stopped at Rooster's on W. Broad St. Our hostess was polite and promptly took us to our table as soon as we arrived.
Shortly after we were seated our waitress came to our table with our menus, gave us a few minutes to look over what we wanted to order (even though we pretty much knew what we wanted).
We ordered fried pickles and fried mushrooms, a side Roosters salads with extra Roosters Sauce, 20 wings each with one set for garlic and the other with a little more kick (pun intended) with Donkey sauce.
The Roosters salads are always a big hit, especially with the extra dressing. Then, the mushrooms are a favorite of mine; always hot and delicious. The fried pickles go to my wife, who really enjoys the slightly bitter crunch of this veggie.
But, the main course, the chicken wings, with the bone-in flavor, came to the table hot and crispy, which made for a hearty, lunch for the two of us.
The wings are not the greatest I've had. Therefore, the biggest knock for this Roosters restaurant Is that sometimes it seems that two or more sauces are actually mixed together, as if the wok or whatever bowl was used might not have been cleaned thoroughly after using it for one sauce to coat the wings before mixing a new batch of wings. Therefore the result is a mudded taste rather than a clean, distinct taste of the sauce ordered.
I enjoy looking around at the different signs that are posted throughout the restaurant. As customers read these humorous little "post-it notes" make the wait time for food seem so much faster.
If you are wanting a quiet atmosphere for your dining experience, Roosters is not for you. But, if you are looking for a fun sports bar with good food and service at a decent price, Roosters will fit the bill.
