Red Rooster is a long-standing roadside shack specializing in fried chicken. The staff is very friendly, and the chicken is cooked perfectly—moist on the inside and crisp on the outside. While some customers feel that the chicken lacks seasoning, many others appreciate its fresh, juicy, and flavorful taste. The fries are good and served in a massive amount, earning them high praise. However, the Mac & cheese seems to disappoint, often described as soupy and possibly made from a cheese product rather than real cheese.
Despite mixed reviews on the food, those who love well-cooked chicken might find this place great for a family dinner. Red Rooster mainly operates as a carryout joint, with a few picnic tables out front for those who wish to eat on-site. The restaurant doesn’t try to be fancy; it just gets fried chicken right. The 8-piece family meal is noted to be competitively priced and of much better quality compared to other fast-food chicken places. For those in or passing through Damascus, stopping by for the fried chicken is highly recommended, especially for breakfast sandwiches and anything fried. Overall, Red Rooster offers pressure-cooked chicken with crispy skin that reminds some of perfect Filipino lechon skin, making it a potential go-to spot for chicken lovers.
