I'm 3 hours away from home, it's lunchtime, it's a diner; I don't extpect much but a reasonable lunch. I got the special: meatloaf, with mixed veggies. The meatloaf was fine, quite hearty in fact; better than the bland stuff at many diners. What impressed me were the veggies. I expected them to be soft, overcooked, but what i got was a pleasing mix of nicely grilled, somewhat crisp beans, broccoli, carrots, etc. Certainly better than your average diner. I only wished I could be around to try their breakfast.

My Fiancé, our son and i went to Red Rooster over in croghan for an early anniversary dinner. we usually go out to watertown and eat at one of the larger chain restaurants but wanted to support local this time and try something new! We have NEVER been to the Red Rooster despite all of the buz we’ve heard about it! Unfortunately we did NOT have a great experience there!!!!!!!!!!!!

When we first got there we sat down and waited for our menus The waitress ( blonde curly hair with glasses i didnt catch her name) could clearly see that i was struggling to maintain my 15 month old son in the booth, after she came over and took our drink order i was still struggling to keep my 15 month old in the booth. when she came with our drinks i asked her if i could use one of the chairs from the tables across from the booth to put my son in, i used my sweatshirt to basically tie him down to the chair to make a makeshift high chair for him. she comes back to take our food order and everything was fine, i had contained my son and was looking at the menu and ordered (I got a ham dinner w/ mashed potatos and carrots and my fiance got the meatloaf special along with a bowl or there soup). A nice older lady who had just got done eating there herself comes over to our table to tell me that they have high chairs for young children! i said oh i did not know that bc this is our first time here. She left and i was stunned, why didn’t the waitress offer me a high chair after my son had almost ran into her bc he had climbed out of the booth under the table? Why did an older lady who happened to be a customer herself have to tell me that there were high chairs? why wasnt one offered when we first got there? Anyways i managed with my sweatshirt and the regular chair.

When our food came out i was very excited the food looked amazing but looks are deceiving! My ham was good my potatos were luke warm though and the carrots that came with my dinner were NOT seasoned at all and tasted terrible! My fiancés potato’s were also luke warm but all his other food was great untill we realized they never brought him his soup!!! Fast forward to when we are just about done eating the other waitress ( tall blond also didnt catch her name ) who was working comes out from around the corner and say i totally forgot about this and sets his soup on the table! at that point i was done eating, the entire time we were there the waitresses were behind the counter talking to the one guy who works back there not paying attention at all, not to mention my son usually eats by himself with spoon and only one was provided for the soup that came at the end of our meal!

For our first time and it being a Sunday (10/26/2025) close to closing time and not busy we are highly disappointed and wish there was more attentiveness and better customer service!

Bring your appetite. Ask fythe gravy for the fries on the side. Plan to share the fries (or maybe the whole lunch!). I am a hearty eater and I could finish it, neither could my FIL. I had a fried chicken wrap and he had the ham club. We both got fries. Next time, one of us will get fries with, 2 sides of gravy, one for each of us. My MIL had the clam chowder soup of the day. It was homemade. Everything tasted fresh, the servings were large and we spent about $50 for the 3 of us with tax and a 25% tip. The son was our waiter and was very friendly and attentive. I will be stopping back to this family run restaurant again!! Keep up the good work.
