I hate to do this since I’ve been coming to Roosters for almost 20 years, but this was beyond ridiculous. I ordered my food about 15 minutes before close (not knowing they changed their hours to closing at 9pm) and the bartender said it wouldn’t be a problem. All of the wait staff had also ordered food late and I watched their food come out. At around 9:20pm the bartender informed me that the kitchen had not started my order. She offered to give me a gift card but this put a bad taste in my mouth for the long term. How the mighty have fallen. This place was once an awesome local joint that was super reliable but this has ended how I feel about them. Goodbye forever.

Not a local but this place makes me want be! Kailin was an awesome server and had the best attitude for any service I've ever received. Food was incredible and came out very quick. Drinks are awesome too and super cheap! A 100% must visit in the area.

I had gotten a to go order when I got home there was hair in my fried pickles I called right away and was told to stop by when I could and they would either give me a gift card or a new order. When I called back two days later the waitress wasn’t familiar with what I was offered and said she would call back. Never heard back from them so when I had time I called back again and I was going to pick them up. But I had just had surgery so would be able to walk in restaurant so I asked if they could run them out to my car they said no. So I said I’ll come back when I can walk in. I just went there to get the fried pickles and the refused to honor their word. Such poor customer service. I’m adding a picture of the friend pickles with black hair I have strawberry blonde hair so not mine. I also have a time stamp on my picture and time stamp on receipt. I had called right away. When offered a new order I was told to come when I can. I was already home and didn’t want to drive back. the manager who refused to keep the word of this business.

Roosters Roadhouse in Denton has a fun, quirky vibe that immediately makes it feel laid back and casual. The ambience is unique but still comfortable, and the service was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made the experience better.
Food-wise, it was a mixed bag. I ordered the one meat plate with brisket, and unfortunately the brisket was dry. The fries, however, were solid and enjoyable. The toast was overcooked and pretty hard, which was disappointing.
Dessert didn’t really redeem things. We tried the apple wontons, which came out hot but were underwhelming and the chocolate chip pie turned out to be more like a chocolate chip muffin and was pretty blah.
Overall, the service really stood out in a positive way, and the atmosphere is fun, but the food quality was inconsistent. I’d consider giving it another shot based on the service alone, hoping for a better experience next time.

All the food tasted like it was pre-packaged and microwaved when ordered. The pulled pork was bland and flavorless, as was the brisket. Also ordered the fried pickles which tasted luke they were just thrown in some premade, prepackaged breading that was also bland a flavorless. Wouldnt go back to eat there. Staff was friendly, super attentive, and the atmosphere was inviting.

Sammie and I ate on the back patio. I wasn't sure about the dog friendly aspect so I popped my head in and the bartender said she's welcome out there but can't come inside. Our waiter came out quickly with a bowl of water, which I thought was nice right off the bat. We had the Tennessee Texas hot sandwich, Rooster Tails, and a couple slices of brisket for Sammie. Draft beer was ice cold, with ice floating in it. Yummy! Food was good, especially the sauce that came with the Rooster Tails (think onion rings and bloomin onion had a baby lol). Service was fantastic. I was concerned it might be slow, being outside, but he was very regular and attentive.

A lively spot with quick service, hefty portions, fair prices, and tasty takes on classic bbq joint items. Everything was great here. We’d def be back. They tolerated our big table of 12 with more kindness and patience than most.
Great food, friendly staff and cool atmosphere. Love the back patio. Dog friendly.

So many great things to say about this place. First, brisket sandwich and their homemade chips were amazing. Our server, Grace, was ON IT! She kept our drinks coming and continually checked on us. The star of the show was Kaelyn! My daughter had put her retainer in a napkin while she ate (which you should never do). Anyway, she accidentally put that napkin on her plate with the rest of her trash and it got thrown away. She realized what she had done and I went to our server and asked if we could go thru the trash. Kaelyn saw what we were about to do and quickly put on gloves herself and in less than a minute, found the retainer. We were very lucky that the retainer was almost on top so there wasn’t much to sift thru. Anyway, both ladies were superb. We will definitely eat there again!

Sad when you are led to a place by reviews and then on your first visit catch them stealing. Funny thing is I was going to tip more than the kept amount of change. Do Better, No Excuses only Solutions.

Had the Pit Sandwich and Brisket Burger for lunch and both were Fantastic! Service was good and friendly from the time we walked in the door. Location is a little out of the way, but it was worth finding it. Would definitely go back when we're in Denton again.
