I frequent many Roosters around the Columbus-area regularly. I stopped into the Newark location because we were visiting friends out of town and wanted a quick bite to eat. The hostess sat us at a table that had not been cleaned and it still had the check from the last customer. We waited about 10 minutes at that table as the wait staff kept walking past us. No one made any contact with us or attempted to clean off the table.So, we got up and sat at the bar. The bartender looked at us, then continued talking about her personal life to another couple sitting at the bar. We waited for another 10 minutes at the bar, as she laughed about what she did last night and other servers walked in and out of the bar.Finally, I asked the young bar back if he could get someone to serve us. He asked the bartender, she gave him the hold on finger and then he found another lady. After getting our drinks it took another 15 minutes to order our food from the bartender. She started taking the orders of those sitting around us that sat down later than us.The food took about 45 minutes to get. We were never checked back up on…while sitting at the bar ? After I asked for the check by hollering across the bar, she came over and asked if wanted more drinks. We said no, because we wanted to get the hell out of there and our drinks were empty during our meal anyways.The restaurant was not extremely busy, the food was not as good as other locations and the service was terrible! If you want to try Roosters give another location a try before this one ruins your experience.
2nd attempt to come here to eat as 1st attempt was a fail as the wait time was too much. This time we went on a rainy Friday evening around 7:30/8pm. It was busy but we were able to get a table. Staff was courteous but took them a while to serve our food. We noticed people who came after us were getting served before us. It's an okay chicken bar place...with all the reviews and Instagram recommendations, it was not the best I've had so far (but that's comparing to NYC and LA). Hubs got a fried chicken sandwich (didn't really seem fried, more of baked which was disappointing). I got chicken sliders, fried which was better. We also had the dumpster tots which were meh for the price, small dish. Got fried wings with Korean BBQ (not impressed) and boneless with Nashville. Maybe would've been better if flavors were switched around. IDK, I guess this is really just bar food quality. A little disappointed ☹️
Absolutely atrocious service!!! I came in with my GF and we were greated by a very rude young lady who lead us to a booth that still had some trash in it from the last patrons. After a few minutes a waitress approached us and took our drink orders, she brought us out the wrong drinks and then complained when asked to bring new. We ordered the Buffalo Cauliflower for an appetizer and it was delicious followed by our entree of 2 wraps and a pepperoni pizza. The food was amazing, but the nasty hostess and the bartender who yelled at the poor busboy really ruined our experience.
I applied to work here 3 months passes and the Host has been so called leqving notes for the gm to call me back. For 3 months. Dont say your hiering if you dont want to call people back. " no one wants to work " no its called mangers dont want to call people back. Its sad you call a bissness every day and the host is saying shes leaving notes for the manger to call me back for 3 months.
Love the fried chicken salad about the only thing I order. While the price on your website says $8.99 you actually charge $11.99. I'm still going to get it because that's 2 meals for me and it's worth, but someone else might have a problem
Roosters on 21st Street in always a good time. The food is always good and always served with a smile. The bartenders are friendly, the area is clean, and the music is loud.Come on in and enjoy yourself and some good food.
Always a great experience at our local Newark Roosters! Great service and even better food!
The food was really good and not super expensive. Atmosphere is hoppin. There's always a great friendly vibe. Wish i could remember my servers name. She was amazing. So nice and sweet. Didn't miss a beat with how fast she got our orders out and kept checking and making sure our drinks were never empty.
Stopped in for lunch today. Had the Buffalo shrimp..curly fries and barbecue chicken sandwich. As always food was great and the waitress Taylor was fantastic! Greeted us with a nice smile and hello along with being friendly fast and courteous.
This place always delivers. I could probably eat here everyday and never get disappointed. Food is very consistent and staff is always helpful. Just make sure the fries are hot...this has been my only issue.
