Red Rooster

By far the best fried chicken in Maryland! Crispy, juicy, and flavorful all the way through. Loved the mac n cheese. The potato salad was a little bit sweeter than I like, but still good. Overall, I really enjoyed it. I’ll definitely be back!

If you live in Damascus, you already know. But if you’re just passing through and craving fried chicken, Red Rooster is absolutely worth the stop. I haven’t tried their sandwiches or sides—because every time I go, I stick with what they do best: the fried chicken. It’s fresh, never soggy, with crispy skin and juicy, flavorful meat that actually tastes like real chicken. The pieces do run a little small, but the 8-piece family meal was the same price as Popeyes—and so, so much better. No comparison on quality. Mainly a carryout joint, but there are a few picnic tables out front under cover if you can’t wait to dig in. Red Rooster doesn’t try to be fancy—it just gets fried chicken right.

If you're looking for fresh, homemade fried chicken, this is the place. Place your order and they cook it, so it takes about 10 minutes. And it is worth it. My son never had their chicken and insisted on going to a chain. Nada. I overruled him. He was not impressed by the small lobby and counter. But we didn't come here for ascetics. We came here for chicken. Got the 8 piece meal, complete with cole slaw and fries. The slaw tastes extremely similar to how my mom made it...wow! The rolls are fresh. The fries are ok, and I would upgrade next time to home fries. Not a big deal, though. The chicken was so different from the chain restaurants and in a good way. Sort of like grandma made. So good that my son ate 3 pieces and asked a few days later to go back for more. Definitely recommen

Absolutely garbage! No flavor over priced small chicken is an understatement I feel as if I was served pigeon meat it was so small the cat food BBQ is drier than a popcorn fart and flavorless. I will never again set foot in this establishment and will do my best to make sure no one else does.

It was our first time there, and the food wit delicious 😋 nice and piping hot crispy chicken it's definitely worth going if you haven't gone already! The staff is great super friendly it gave me home vibes. We had got the family meal and a fried chicken sandwich, that was 🔥 🔥 . Check this place out
