Rooster's Roadhouse: Exceptional Barbeque & Burgers in Denton

Great hole-in-the-wall restaurant/bar. We stopped in for a very late lunch driving through Denton. The waitress was very nice and attentive. We started with the fried pickles, and while it normally comes with ranch, we requested blue cheese. The full basket of pickles came out hot and quick. The breading was light not heavy or overwhelming; nice and crunchy, a little heavy on the corn meal for my taste, but great, nonetheless. However, I feel the frying oil was ready to be changed out. We both opted for the Pit sandwich because it seemed to be one of the house favorites. It comes with house chips, but I ordered mine with a side of rooster tails (fried onion peels), which came with a spicy thousand island dipping sauce. I didn't care for the sauce; the onion peels would have been fine on their own had the frying oil been a little fresher, and that kept me from eating more than two pieces. The sandwich was fantastic; served on Texas toast, two slices of sausage piled on top of sliced brisket and pulled pork with a little BBQ sauce and the BEST PICO I've ever had. This isn't your Tex-mex pico, it is a pickle relish base hint of sweet, with pickled jalapeño and onion. It was fantastic. Overall, if traveling back through Denton, we will make a point to stop here for a meal. Great service, atmosphere (loved the 80's music selection!), and great food.

We were looking for a place to meet her daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter for a Sunday evening dinner. Denton was about halfway between the two of us. I hopped on Yelp and found Rooster's. It was very easy to get to. Since we had never been there before, we needed to read over the menu. The waitress was very nice and patient. We ordered barbecue and it was a fabulous choice. it came with chips, Texas toast, and spicy pickles. My wife thought they were too hot; I thought they were just right. She said she was a "weenie." LOL. It was kind of a mix of a bar and a restaurant. Very relaxing and comfortable. It also had TV screens all around...where I discovered that the Cowboys finally snapped its five-game losing streak and beat Washington. Would recommend and will go again.

I was visiting a friend while in Denton and we went to Roosters because they serve Jalitos with ranch as an appetizer. I was not disappointed with their crispiness and the portion served. The Turkey sandwich I got for dinner was excellent and delicious. Our server was very kind, attentive and accommodating. The roadhouse charm was there in spades. We had a great, enjoyable meal here.

Customer service outstanding! Shelby was attentive and made sure that I was good! Sushi tasted too cheesy; it could be my tastebuds though. I will try again because I had them in the past and enjoyed them. Shelt recommended the nachos they smell wonderful and are absolutely delicious! Black beans are seasoned well and just enough peppers to give it a kick.

Even on a Saturday night we were seated right away with a party of 6. The food is amazing. I love the chicken fried steak. Everyone in our party enjoyed their food. Their drinks are delicious as well. There is so much good food in the Denton Square this is a place to make sure to visit. Good food good service!

It was a packed house for lunch but the service was great! Rooster tails and sliders was enough for two of us. Yep, you need to give it a try.

We stopped in as a party of 5 Sunday evening, and were acknowledged right away by the bartender but had to wait a little over 5 mins for someone to actually come and seat us. Our server was very nice and efficient. We ordered fried pickles and fried jalapeños as well as the queso, salsa and chips - everything was yummy. My kids both ordered the steak fingers and fries and enjoyed their meals. We ordered two single meat plates with chopped meat- chopped brisket onion rings and okra and the Tennessee Texas hot sandwich with chips. Tennessee Texas hot sandwich was misleading bc it was not spicy although the breading was red and was not flavored. It was very underwhelming but everything else was great. I will say, Bathrooms were small and dirty. My son went into the men's restroom and walked right back out stating it was too dirty for him to use. If in the area, we would prob stop again.
