Red Rooster Drive In

"Neither a swanky burger or an outlaw slider, Red Rooster's cheeseburger deluxe has a nice charcoal aura and fresh-meat flavor. Grilled onions are a fine crowning touch."
Michael Stern






"The Red Rooster is a virtual time machine back to the heyday of car culture and a pre-Golden-Arches era when roadside hamburger joints had real personality."
Michael Stern



"Each onion ring is a significant piece of food. Add a little salt and they are a hamburger's best friend."
Michael Stern



"By row, starting in the upper left corner: Chocolate egg cream, chocolate shake, ice tea, vanilla egg cream; cheeseburger deluxe, clam roll, bacon cheeseburger deluxe, chili-cheese dog, double cheeseburger deluxe with onions and mushrooms ("the biggest, nastiest burger [they] have"); family size fries with cheese, chili and onions, and a bacon cheese dog."
Nat Hansen



"The personality of founder Jack Sypek infuses the Red Rooster from the top down, as seen in his portrait that looms above the order counter."
