   This was my first visit to Red Rooster and the entire experience was amazing! The food was INCREDIBLE-we took suggestions from our server because we just couldn’t decide-best decision ever!!! Definitely recommend the chicken and the cornbread is a must have!! The band was great and although we sat near them, it wasn’t so loud that we couldn’t speak to each other-definitely added to the whole experience! I was also impressed with the servers-I think we had 3 different ones stopping by to check in with us and it was easy to see that they all just wanted to make sure our dinner was perfect! I really can’t say enough about this place—HIGHLY recommend and we can’t wait to go back!!

   My only disappointment: We ordered the chicken tower The chicken was mostly breast legs and thigh fried very dark brown and dry it definitely wasn’t cooked to order taste and looked refried. The sides were delish. The ambiance and service was excellent. Question did the entertainment come around to collect tips: not a good look!
   

   Red Rooster HarlemResponded today

   Hi Linda, Thank you for joining us and for sharing your thoughtful feedback. We are sorry to hear that your chicken tower wasn’t as juicy as it should have been—our goal is always to serve perfectly crispy, flavorful chicken every time. We appreciate you highlighting the delicious sides, ambiance, and service—we love that those elements hit the mark! Regarding the entertainment, we have spoken with our talent, and collecting tips should not be a part of their performance. We sincerely apologize for this and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We hope you’ll give us another try the next time you're in Harlem—we’d love to provide a flawless Red Rooster experience! Warmly, The Red Rooster Harlem Team

   A lively place , with delicious food and drinks and live music. Portions are big and we way over ordered, but everything was great. Only slight disappointment was the catfish which was surrounded by a sea of beans that were a bit too much. Fabulous service! They did not kick us out when we realized that we were the last ones there! Very generous!

    Band is too loud by a factor of 5. Red Rooster needs to decide if it wants to be a mediocre live music venue or a first rate restaurant, which it once was a decade ago.
    

    Red Rooster HarlemResponded 5 days ago

    Dear Hyung-Gon, Thank you for being our guest at Red Rooster Harlem and for sharing your feedback with us. We apologize for the experience you had during your visit, as it appears you caught us on an off day. We strive to provide exceptional experiences, and it is clear that we fell short of our usual standards. We hope you will give us another chance to show you the true Red Rooster experience that we are proud of, and we look forward to the possibility of welcoming you back soon. Warmly, The Red Rooster Harlem Team
