Red Rooster North Dandenong — Restaurant in Melbourne

I recently had the unfortunate experience of dining at Red Rooster, and let me tell you, it was an absolute disaster from start to finish. I had heard some mixed reviews about this place, but I decided to give it a shot. What a colossal mistake that was.

Firstly, the service was abysmal. The staff seemed more interested in chatting amongst themselves than actually attending to the customers. It took an eternity for someone to take our order, and when they finally did, they did so with an attitude as if they were doing us a favor. Excuse me, but last time I checked, I was the one paying for this terrible excuse of a meal.

Now let's talk about the food. The menu boasted a variety of options, but unfortunately, none of them seemed to be edible. The chicken, which is supposed to be the star of the show at Red Rooster, was dry, overcooked, and lacked any flavor whatsoever. It was as if they had forgotten to season it or simply didn't care. The sides were equally disappointing—limp, greasy fries and some sad excuse for coleslaw that looked like it had been sitting in the fridge for days.

As if the lackluster food wasn't enough, the presentation was laughable. The dishes were sloppily arranged, as if the chef had given up on any notion of culinary aesthetics. It was a haphazard mess on a plate that only served to further amplify the disappointment.

To add insult to injury, the prices at Red Rooster were exorbitant for the quality of food and service they provided. I wouldn't mind paying a premium for a memorable dining experience, but this was far from it. It felt like a complete rip-off, and I left feeling both physically and emotionally unsatisfied.

In conclusion, Red Rooster is a restaurant that fails on every level. From the lackadaisical service to the tasteless and poorly cooked food, this place simply does not deliver. I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy. Save your money and your taste buds, and find a different dining option that actually cares about their customers. Red Rooster, you should be ashamed of the sorry excuse for a restaurant...

Went in with couple of mates for lunch today mediocre service, poor food preparation and layout of the store.

Friend 1 ordered Rooster Rolls, 2 rolls for $10 deal. He asked the guy at the front couter how they looked and whats inside. He explained it sort of ok but there was no image of it in store where I had to show Friend 1 outside by the drive though of the restaurant through the window in the store. He ordered them and it came out microwaved and there hardly any chicken inside of the rolls what I have heard when we came back.

Friend 2 also ordered two Rooster Rolls but one with Chilli sauce and one with mayo for another friend who was not with us. Since Friend 2 is lactose intolerant so she can't have any mayo hence the chilli sauce. Also she shouted me a meal since I did something nice to her earlier in the day and wanted to give something back. Went and ordered out meal and the guy at the front was hollering to the kitchen staff telling that one of the rooster rolls has chili sauce on it. Got our meal thankfully one of the rooster rolls was marked that supposedly had no mayo in it and was substitued with Chili Aioli. Ordered and got back to our place to eat. When we came back to our place and eat her marked rooster roll there was mayo in it as well with the Chili Aioli. Also the Rooster Roll was microwaved. She said that she will be ok with the mayo since she has her tablets with her.

It has been a long time for my two friends the last time they ordered Red Rooster and they say they will never order Red Rooster again and me as well after...

Very, very disappointing. Supermarkets sell off their roast chickens for a few bucks when they get to be as old and wrinkly as the one we just had delivered.

The roast veggies were ancient too - potatoes all grey - the carrots dry and shriveled. And worse, they had a strong taste of some weird chemical - like dry- cleaning fluid.

Wish I'd taken a photo - they couldn't even cut it up properly. Looked like they used a really old blunt saw - much of the skin detached - but included separately in the box

Guys - it's not even like you can say you do other stuff better and you have redeeming qualities - chicken is ALL you do! You should be ashamed.

We thought we'd give you a go because we were in a hurry and you're not too far away. OK - so you ALMOST managed to deliver it on time. But given that the food was so many hours old when you dispatched it - you'd think you could at least manage to deliver INSIDE the 25-35 minute window you cited before and after I placed the order - as it was it was about 10 mins late.

I really feel I wasted 40 bucks and wish I'd gone to the supermarket to get one of their roast chickens. It would have been quicker, fresher, way cheaper and tasted lot...
