   We've been dining at Roosters for years. Love the new location as it's closer to home. Our server, Daniel, did a great job making sure we had a great experience. Food was delicious, as always. Will definitely be a regular spot for us

   I’ve been to Roosters in SouthPark and Uptown which seem smaller and more intimate. The Ballantyne location feels like a brewery inside - high ceilings, and open concept. Maybe that’s the vibe they want to create, but prefer the other two locations. Food execution was missed and service was not as tight.

   First time at any Rooster’s. Overall very good, but price point for drinks is higher than most of the restaurants in the area. This will keep me from being a regular. Was good for the group of 8 going out for a special occasion. Minor issue with those who ordered pizza which came out well ahead of the entrees. Might just be a new server crew not understanding or kitchens not coordinating.

   Our fantastic experience is 100% due to the amazing experience Kendell provided us. The food was also amazing. You must try the mushroom and onion soup!!

   Kendell was fantastic and attentive. We decided to try the Sweater Weather and French 475 to get us in the spirit. Both were delicious (I asked to taper the sweetness of the 465 and it was perfect!). We tried the bone marrow and mushroom soup (a creamier spin with less cheese than a french onion and with a nuttiness if the mushrooms). Bone marrow was excellent and a nice presentation. I could've eaten just sides as we devoured the brussels cooked perfectly with a crispness and richness of the green goddess dressing. We tried the sweet potatoes with burratta as well. I would've preferred the burrata a bit creamier but still delicious with a crunch crumble on top. We opted for the hanger steak and lamb. Both cooked to perfection (medium) and perfect warm temp when served. The service was excellent! The manager stopped by to check on us and the staff was friendly and fun. We will be back and can't wait to grab a spot in the patio when it warms up a bit.

   Rotisserie Chicken was outstanding. Suggest ordering a side of BBQ sauce for dipping. Sides (beets and Carolina rice) were also delicious. This location has only been open for 3 weeks. Service was average but not great.

   The location is excellent and the food was wonderful. I left my bag in the restaurant, and promptly received a call that the manager was holding it for me. I am so grateful for the above and beyond service!

   I realize this is a newer restaurant, but they’ve been open for a little over a month and still subpar. Shrimp was over cooked in three different orders for shrimp and grits, which was extremely disappointing. The fries were great, tomato basil bisque is consistently good as were the appetizers of calamari and fried oysters. Service at the beginning of service was good, but as more people came in it was slower and slower. Literally had to ask our server two times as well as two other servers for Malt vinegar for the fish and chips… One order of fish and chips was delayed so they actually got to use the malt vinegar once it finally arrived… The other person unfortunately went without. Used to go to Noble’s back in the day, always great and consistent. Roosters in general is absolutely not as consistent as the original Noble’s but unfortunately the Bowl location has been a disappointment three times now. Spending $600 for technically ordering off the lunch menu with disappointing results has me scratching my head.

   Jim Noble restaurants never disappoint! Our server, Jackie, was delightful and the food was delicious.

    Our waitress was Nicole and she was great. The brussel sprouts are incredible and the shrimp entree, quarter roasted chicken and fries were all amazing. Also the “sweater weather” drink! yum!
