★★★☆☆ 3.0 Kyle Mucci · Jan 2026

Finally came to try the new chicken joint in town. Nice place, chicken tenders were good 4/5, fries were alright little soggy by the time we got home3.5/5. Mac n cheese was good could of used more in the cup looks like they forgot some3/5. Shakes were 0 out of 5 would not recommend didn't fill the shakes all the way and the quality not the worth the money imo. Culvers has a way better shake for that money. 2 adults meals, a kids meal, side of mac and two shakes. 58$ Little pricey for fast food.

If so say it's the best spicy chicken sandwich in the Illinois Valley however I'm not sure if anyone else offers one. I'm not a real fan of coleslaw on the sandwich though but it didn't really hurt it for me. The fries they serve are I'm pretty sure stolen from an Arby's truck and then straightened. They taste exactly the same as curly fries. They also don't give you a single extra sauce, and they are 50 cents each which is pretty bad when getting a combo basket. There are at least a lot of fries in the basket. They also don't really heat the dining room very much either so it's somewhat cold inside.

First time there on Sunday was greeted right away. Ordered the boneless wings 24 of them and loaded fries and 2 milkshakes. Got the shakes in a few minutes and tried them WOW they were amazing very creamy and tasty. Got home with order and all was delicious. My son loved the loaded fries. Wings were good size Will go back. Prices were good.

Very busy on Sunday night, but still had reasonably quick service. Seemed a little pricey but the quality and quantity made the price seem appropriate. If you are in the area check them out for some good chicken.

Used the drive thru lane for my first time at Roosty's. Ordered the loaded fries with spicy chicken, pickles and sauce. Very good and messy! Overall service was spot on and I will return again.
