The Starving Rooster

It gets packed on the weekends. The wait could take long, but it’s worth it. Love their thin crust pizza the best! Good selection of drinks too!

Great food and atmosphere. I loved that they had several gluten-free options available. It is located in a cool location downtown. Hours are open longer than most other restaurants in the area. Definitely will be back if I am in town.

This place has a stylish loft vibe, with an industrial touch. The food is great, not too pricey, and the atmosphere is super relaxed. The service was friendly and helpful. I’m definitely planning to return. It was a spontaneous choice for dinner, and I’m so glad we went—we weren’t sure what to expect.

Oddest pizza margherita I’ve ever had. If you like whole garlic and soggy basil underneath a mountain of cheese, then this is the pie for you. I don’t, sorry. I prefer to enjoy my crust and marinara sauce. The ratio is completely off. You would have thought I ordered a garlic pizza, and as far as I know most margherita pizzas don’t have garlic as a topping. I had to laugh when I opened the box because I could not believe it. 1/5, edible yet expensive, and not what I wanted.

We first visited The Starving Rooster last year for a dine-in going away party, and we’ve continued going back for dinner since. Every visit has been a great experience. I always order the pizza, even though it changes each time, and it never disappoints. The portions are amazing, and the food always tastes fresh. You can tell care goes into what they serve. The restaurant is clean, relaxed, and comfortable, making it a nice place to sit down and enjoy a meal. Service has always been decent and consistent. Prices feel fair, and ordering is just like any normal sit-down restaurant, which makes everything easy. They do have a bar, though we haven’t tried it yet since we usually bring our daughter. Overall, The Starving Rooster is a solid local spot and one we’d definitely recommend.
