Rude Rooster

Came here on the second day of opening and enjoyed the food! The inside space is big and the service was impeccable. The owner really cares about his customer’s experience and we felt that! If there is one small thing I could change as a Mac and cheese aficionado, I’d like it hot instead of the temperature of a pasta salad. But I took it home, heated it, and ate it with leftover chicken later and it was great. They use the superior Mac and cheese shape.

This place is actually really good and worth a visit! Out of all the things, my favorite was the Rude Smash Combo (Smash burger) and the Nash n Smash Sloppy Fries. Though the Nashville Sando is good, it’s def not something that I would recommend. The staff is great, and the place is well maintained!

Highly highly recommend eating here!! First of all the location is beautiful and open, the staff were SO kind (literally discussed adding fried pickles to the menu and then boom I got a sample of fried pickles!!!!!!) but omg the food. This food is art. Seasoned to perfection, spiced to compliment the meal not over power it, portion sized generously, and again - the fried pickles aren’t even on the menu but the ones they whipped up for me to try were better than any fried pickles I’ve ever had. If you’re anywhere near here, stop in and you won’t be disappointed!! Oh, and I was impressed with the changing tables in BOTH bathrooms!

This hidden spot should definitely be on your radar to try out. There smashburgers are phenomenal blew me away with there taste. I've tried many smashburgers but this one is my new favorite place. Everything comes in together and the flavors are top tier. Also there Nashville chicken sandwiches are really good. The ingredients and flavors go really well together. Highly recommend to try this place! There chicken sandwich and tenders are comparable to Dave's Hot Chicken but I'd say this place is definitely better.

“If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience, look no further than Rude Rooster in Lombard! Their jalapeño smash burger is absolutely phenomenal—juicy, flavorful, and packed with heat. The cheese sticks are indulgent, and knowing the meat is halal makes every bite even more special. The owner was incredibly welcoming, and the entire vibe was warm and inviting. I 100% recommend Rude Rooster—whether it’s the halal smash burger or those cheesy sticks, you’re in for a treat!”
