Red Rooster did not disappoint. We loved the vibe of the restaurant and were welcomed in by the reception desk for our reservation. Our server Jose was very helpful with making decisions about our selections. We started with the deviled eggs and the hoppin John's salad. Both were great. The salad was very fresh, the dressing was super and it was all finished with crispy chickpeas. My husband got the fried chicken and I got the fish fry. So good. We will be back

Red Rooster has a new chef (since August) and all I can say is - the restaurant is BACK! We had stopped coming...The food was fabulous! We shared the Kings Jambalaya- 3 of us ate well and had a whole meal to take home! We will be back very soon as this used to be one of our favs!

Red Rooster is our go to when we want to go out for a nice evening and don't want to roll the dice trying a new place. We know the vibe and food will always be on point. I think by now we've been here about a dozen times and have never been disappointed. They do change the menu seasonally but always have an amazing selection. The cornbread is always first on the order. I got the fried catfish with red curry sauce. Let's just say if I didn't live so far I'd be ordering it again to go. I also had the fried green tomatoes which was amazing! Meal was 10/10 as usual. Can't wait to go back.

It would be helpful if the menu would be just a bit more descriptive. As an example, the biscuits and gravy are actually a complete reinterpretation of a dish that is usually a familiar combination of a biscuit and a creamy sausage gravy. There is great value in having a wonderful chef reinterpret this classic dish. I just wish I had a clue before I ordered it. Same goes for the short rib hash. “Hash” doesn't usually have pieces of potato and meat that are so large. Again, wonderful to reinterpret dishes. But customers should have an idea of what is coming.

We’ve been to Marcus Samuelsson’s restaurant in the Bahamas, Marcus at Baha Mar Fish + Chop House and also got a chance to see him do a food demonstration at SOBEWFF 2024. He seems like a genuine guy and a down to earth chef. I actually watched him on Top Chef. We were blown away with everything we had at his Bahamas location. So when we realized he had a restaurant here in Miami, we decided to check it out during our staycation in Brickell. Red Rooster Overtown was only about 10 min from our hotel so that was perfect.
This restaurant was also a part of the InKind app which we use so it was ideal, they actually offered a separate $50 off $150 discount directly from restaurant’s website.
Our reservation was for 7:30pm on a Saturday night. It wasn’t crazy busy when we arrived. Our server was Katie and she immediately made a good impression on us. Katie was incredibly personable, funny and full of energy! I loved her positive vibe. We double checked on the InKind thing and she confirmed but also let us know that she uses it too so she totally gets it. I felt like our whole dinner experience was just chatting it up. Haha. Loved how engaging she was. It was very easy to talk to her and she was a wonderful server that just went above and beyond.
Marqueta was my drink, it was a tequila based drink with Don Julio blanco, harissa, chambord, luxardo, pineapple, lime. Smooth and refreshing. Hubby had the Brownstoner which had nutmeg Bulleit bourbon, St. Germaine elderflower, cherry heering. His drink was strong. Didn’t love it but he didnt want to return it either.
Lexington Deviled Eggs were good. The Grilled Pearl which were grilled oysters with brown crab and chili crunch, this had good flavor and potential but I think it was a tad fishy than it was fresh tasting. Tuna Crudo was delicious and was a thick generous cut, really loved the ponzu and burnt orange flavors. Super fresh tuna.
We shared a main course for the Coconut Smoked Oxtails. All the ingredients sounded really interesting. This dish consisted of sweet plantains, yellow rice, long pepper and Thai Basil. Oxtail was a huge serving with three big pieces of oxtail. The peppers were yummy. I don’t recall any sweet plantains? Sauce was good but just a big portion. We had to take most of the dish home.
We ordered the Ice Cream Sandwich for dessert thinking it would be small. Wrong. It was so big that no way we were eating all that so when it arrived, we offered the tables next to us a portion. Gave half to table next to us and another quarter portion to table next to them. Our neighbors were so grateful that we shared our dessert. The quarter we got was just enough and all we needed.
Red Rooster was good but didn’t blow our mind like the other Bahamas spot we went to. Food was 4- stars and honestly, our server Katie was 110% awesome and she made the experience that much better for the full 5-star experience! We would come back again to try other menu items.
Let me close out by saying we had the cornbread and fried chicken from the Bahamas location was 100% worth it so if you get a chance, get those items!!! BOMB and totally legit!!!

Beautiful restaurant with great vibes and great food. Awesome value. Though $65 bucks for brunch can push it, there were plenty of options. Favs were definitely the Cajun shrimp and grits and Mac and cheese. Too bad I was on a diet, as I only had one plate. Will definitely come back when I'm back in FL.

The food was good. The service was even better. Marica Linn, thank you for your patience and accommodating service.
Food was absolutely delicious! We got the cornbread, fried green tomatoes, coconut smoked oxtail, & hot honey salmon. My boyfriend said the oxtail was the best he's ever had; and my salmon was cooked to perfection. We also got the s'mores bread pudding, but were too stuffed to eat it. It will be dessert for tonight :) Highly recommend to anyone in or visiting Miami!

Our server Jeremy was amazing! He was friendly and knowledgeable of the food, drinks, and history of the building that Red Rooster is located in.

Came for brunch which was absolutely delicious. Very nice atmosphere. Service was just OK as the other waiter's and waitresses were more attentive to their tables. I would definitely return.

Amazing service and even better food. This was my second year in a row participating in the Christmas Day buffet experience and I was blown away again by the food. Fresh and flavorful is an understatement.

We came for the lounge not the restaurant but it was a good time. Drinks were good, the place got very packed, the crowd was very young, the dj was good.
