Best American Restaurants in Mountain Island

This place truly has something for everyone. First off, the space is massive, with plenty of seating to accommodate parties of all sizes. It’s also kid-friendly, though on a Friday night, the crowd was mostly adults, making it perfect for a date night. On this visit, we started with the pretzel bites with cheese dip and the tomato soup as appetizers—both were excellent. For our entrees, we tried the steak frites and the 36-hour ribs. The ribs were incredibly tender, practically falling off the bone, and the jalapeño molasses BBQ sauce was a standout. Don’t worry if you’re not a fan of spice—the sauce wasn’t spicy, just flavorful. As much as we wanted to try the monkey bread with vanilla ice cream for dessert, we were too full to even think about it! Our server, Angel, made the experience even better. He walked us through the menu, offering personal recommendations that added a great touch. He was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Overall, the service was top-notch, and we left very impressed.

Excellent service, delicious food and festive atmosphere

I shared a meal with a few friends and we enjoyed everything that was placed before us. The drinks, appetizer and our entrees were splendid. To dine at a restaurant with no seasoning on the table is unheard of and none was required!!! Our food was seasoned to our liking. To the owner WELL DONE and a kiss and hats off to the chef and staff.

Fantastic meal! Great ambience and service! We started with the Ground Duck Flatbread and both of us agreed that we should cancel the rest of our order and just get two of those. Amazing combination of flavors. Our entrees did not disappoint. I had Grouper and my partner had steak. Both were cooked perfectly. Our waitress was wonderful and suggested drinks for us as well as kept our water glasses full. She was attentive without being in our face. We will definitely go again! They don’t have parking but there is a large parking garage at the same corner.

We enjoyed another excellent dining experience at Rooster's. Delicious food, wonderful drinks and lovely ambience. We were thrilled to have Owen as our server again. He made an already thoroughly enjoyable evening even better. Please let him know how much we appreciated his kindness.
