Red Rooster

For a place that's been around more than five years, Red Rooster is a bit of a hidden gem. Well, maybe just for us. We arrived about 1 p.m. and found several friends unexpectedly there. If you've not been, it's a neat little place tucked into the Paseo. They have a few tables outside and not many more indoors. All of the staff we met were wonderful and friendly. And, yes, the food was good. A previous review mentioned the donut bread pudding, so I ordered it with a side of eggs over medium. I must not have read the menu well because I didn't realize it was bread pudding with ice cream and praline pecans. It was wonderful, and it would be a great shareable dessert. And I have to say, I enjoyed the eggs more than any others I've had in a long time. The yolks were nice and thick, and absolutely perfect. I tried a bite of my daughter's Croque a Doodle Do, and it was pretty great. Then I stole a bite of my son-in-law's biscuits and gravy with sausage. Oh. My. Gosh. The biscuits were fluffy, and the gravy was creamy, but that sausage... If I remember correctly, the sausage is house-made, and it's some of the best I've ever had. I'm definitely coming back, and I'm pulling a Ron Swanson: "Give me all the sausage and eggs you have."

So happy to eat at a restaurant with legit gluten free choices for a change! They got a bump in stars from me for this alone. We sat at the bar and had a cocktail while trying the pimento cheese and chips. The cheese dip was great but the chips tasted a bit overcooked imo. We enjoyed it regardless. And I forgot to make note of the name of the cocktail but it was really refreshing.We also had the chicken drumsticks with buffalo sauce, a shrimp ceviche tostado (delish!) off the seasonal menu, and a salad. Everything was fresh and well prepared. I would order all again with no hesitation. We weren't hungry enough for dessert but I will be back for some of their bread pudding!

Decent organic restaurant with a cool stylish interior. Didn't try their chicken which may have been their signature dish. Also wanted to try their masa grit cakes but they were out - their blue cheese grits were very good. Excellent and prompt service as well from a waiter who told me this restaurant was part of a "trilogy" including Holy Rollers and 30th Street Market, which I also have to check out. Interesting spot to go to if you are in OKC!

The Red Rooster, what a surprise! We have lived in Mesta Park, OKC, for nearly 25 years, and somehow, we have missed this little gem of a restaurant. It's only 1.1 miles and 5 minutes away from our home, and we frequent the Paseo frequently, and yet we had never dined at the Red Rooster. Well, that changed Friday evening, and on a whim, we had dinner there.We started with Dirty Martinis, which we enjoyed. However, I did not care for the style of Olive they use: small, dark green, and pitted.Jan ordered the cold noodle salad. Jit featured whole wheat noodles in a peanut sauce. She added shrimp. She enjoyed the dish and I my taste test was great. I'm not a cold noodle type of guy, but I would order it.I ordered fish and chips. I'm always looking for great fish and chips, and so far, this is as good as it gets in OKC. The batter is a bit heavy, but the fish is delicate and tasty. Loved the sliced chips. The tartar sauce is unique. I believe it is a blend of thousand islad dressing and pickle relish. It's different and I liked it.The atmosphere is relaxed, friendly, and cozy. The menu is not large but offers sufficient options to satisfy a range of tastes. The service was excellent.We are adding the Red Rooster to our restaurant rotation.

First time here with some friends for a birthday brunch. The menu looked great. I ordered the Paloma to drink. It was really good. The coffee was also great. My breakfast, not so great. I ordered the Migas. It was supposed to come with blue corn tortillas, but our server failed to let us know they were out. The migas itself was cold when it came out. Compared to other local restaurants, this migas was skimpy for $15. I hear the other people really enjoyed their biscuits and gravy. I am gluten-free, so the "good stuff" I could not eat. I can't say that I would go out of my way to come back here for brunch on my own. The Paloma and thet coffee is what earned the 3 stars. I might have just had an off day. Dinner may be better.

We didn't order entrees since we were so full from the appetizers but the food was superb? The drumsticks were juicy and you can pick from several flavors, the Thai was really good. Their little grit squares were also delicious, whatever that cream was Rey served it with was so amazing I could bathe on it. Lol. The drinks were fun and they used great combinations of flavors. Our server Isabella way super attentive and reciprocated our humor which made for a more entertaining experience. I loved the quaint size but they had it all, outdoor seating, large bar as well as plenty of seating. Definitely one of my faves!

This is one of my favorite restaurants in OKC. Always have great service, extremely knowledgeable of Celiac Disease and gluten free precautions. They cook their GF food in a separate part of the kitchen so there is no cross-contact.I always get their beer battered GF fish and chips or their Red Rooster burger with a GF bun ( not pictured) This is the only restaurant that has a GF bun that doesn't fall apart on you or isn't super dry. Their bun taste like a normal bun. DELICIOUS! They have the BEST fish and chips in town. Their batter is so light and the beer taste is perfect, not overpowering. Their dill tarter sauce is my favorite! I could eat a cup of it. The pimento dip comes with bread but if you order it GF they serve it with the house made fried potato chips. See picture. Highly recommend. I have never had a bad meal here, never had bad service and most importantly never gotten sick from getting glutened!

We were treated so phenomenally well the other night at Red Rooster. First impressions were an incredibly welcoming and cozy atmosphere: very unpretentious for a bar, beautifully furnished, well lit, and not too loud (looking at you, Bar Arbolada, love you though). We had the Rooster burger, and the fish and chips. The burger was quite good, though I would say I've had better. The ingredients were noticeably high quality, especially the meat and that amazing bun, but personally, I could have used some more sauce, since it was slightly on the drier side, and even though I adore gruyere cheese, I was surprised to find that I could have done without it. Its distinct flavor was cutting through in a way that was almost too noticeable. Minor complaints though. The fish and chips, though, was unbelievable: a delicate breading on top of fish that literally melted in your mouth. Fantastic housemade tartar sauce, with an herb in it that I couldn't identify but really elevated the flavor. If there's more perfectly cooked fish out there, I haven't had it.What really made the experience so wonderful, though, was the quality of our service. We walked in with no reservation on a Friday night, and to our dismay saw a packed dining room with no open tables. We weren't too interested in sitting at the bar, so I quickly made a reservation for about an hour later in the evening. When we came back, we were greeted by a woman we'd spoken to earlier, who recognized us and said she was glad we'd been able to make it back. But the person who really amazed us was our server Tilly, who truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and to engage with us. She even went out of her way to specially prepare a cocktail for us the way she liked it, and was so incredibly kind every time she passed by. To be honest, it was a level of care that I don't think I've experienced at many restaurants before, if any. As someone who works a customer service job, I truly understand how challenging it can be to look after every single person, especially on a busy evening, but it really felt like our presence in the restaurant was valued. The food was delicious, but ultimately it was the experience Tilly gave us that made our night. This place is a real gem in OKC and I can't wait to go back.

Very cute restaurant with great service. I had the ribeye and I loved it so much that I went back the next night to order the same thing! Great gluten free options!

Amazing Gluten Free options, great atmosphere, love to stop by when we are traveling through the area!
