   My only disappointment: We ordered the chicken tower The chicken was mostly breast legs and thigh fried very dark brown and dry it definitely wasn’t cooked to order taste and looked refried. The sides were delish. The ambiance and service was excellent. Question did the entertainment come around to collect tips: not a good look!

   A lively place , with delicious food and drinks and live music. Portions are big and we way over ordered, but everything was great. Only slight disappointment was the catfish which was surrounded by a sea of beans that were a bit too much. Fabulous service! They did not kick us out when we realized that we were the last ones there! Very generous!

   Band is too loud by a factor of 5. Red Rooster needs to decide if it wants to be a mediocre live music venue or a first rate restaurant, which it once was a decade ago.

   Came while I was in town for work and spent Monday evening, listening to the wonderful band wow enjoying my dinner and drink. The service was excellent. The food was served really fast and really fresh and hot. I had the shrimp and grits, which were absolutely amazing.

    Nothing to write home about. I’ve tried the Miami location and it was far better than this, so I was highly disappointed. The menu items are completely different and they specialize in fried chicken, but didn’t have hot sauce. I walked to the nearby Whole Foods and bought some in order to eat my food. I ordered fried chicken and collard greens.

    Dear Marketa, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry that your experience at Red Rooster Harlem didn’t meet your expectations, especially compared to our Miami location. While our menus differ to reflect each location's unique character, we always aim to deliver a flavorful and delicious experience. We were also surprised to hear that you were not provided hot sauce, as we do serve it upon request—we truly regret any miscommunication that led to this inconvenience. Your comments are valuable, and we appreciate you taking the time to share them. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back and provide a better experience in the future. Warmly, The Red Rooster Harlem Team
