    I’ve lost count of the number of times I have had the opportunity to dine at Roosters (and looking forward to dining at the next location in Ballantyne). The food is always outstanding and a step above what most good restaurants in Charlotte have to offer. Staff members always have the best attitude and advice and make it a real pleasure to dine. My wife and I (and family) have any special meals at Roosters. Love it!!

    Staff was great. Truly great. The rooms are a little loud when multiple tables are set. The outside area looked very nice. The appetizers and salads were extremely good. We ordered the shrimp and grits and the burger with fries. The shrimp and grits were OK at best. We only ate half of the burgers. The fries were on point.
