Red Rooster Burgers & Brew — Restaurant in California

Great experience. I came in after the lunch time rush to an empty restaurant and found three young, late teens.. early 20s, staff. I would have expected to see them lounging around enjoying the summer day and taking it easy. However, they were all cleaning. When I came in I had an appropriate reading of the day, It's Tuesday and they suggested they're taco special described it well including how the sauce for the tacos was made in the meat was cooked.

These three young ladies did such a good job I felt like they all could have been the owners of the place. I gave the girl my very basic order for a Polish hot dog and an order of french fries. The young lady at the grill read back my order to me exactly how I gave it, and also kindly asked if there was any other condiments that I wanted on it or with the french fries... Truly thoughtful.

While I was waiting the gentleman in the wheelchair came in, she immediately came around the counter and asked how she could help.

Seriously we talk about how there's no work ethic with millennials yet in this one location I found three incredible workers with not only great work ethic but a sincere desire to help the customer.

This is one of the reasons why I love living up here in the foothills. The small local businesses truly deserve our full support.

Getting back to the Polish dog. It was cooked perfection. I know you're thinking how could you mess up a hot dog order and make it less than a five-star... Trust me I've had terrible grilled hot dogs before. In the basket of fries came out overloaded crispy and with the condiments that I requested.

While red rooster may be a small local town diner... It gets a five-star plus plus on customer service and a five-star on what I ordered. Keep up...

I've been to red rooser alot since it opened, it is very hit or miss when it's good or not.

The French fries seem to always be what's for sale at Costco and are always soggy. The burgers may taste good one day or be completely bland with no seasoning the next.

But my last experience was the worst, that's why I'm leaving a review. I ordered 2 burgers 1 order of chicken strips, 3 fries and a large peanut butter and chocolate malt. The burgers were foul, it tasted like they just got done cooking fish on that grill, I don't know what was wrong with them but they were very fishy and tasted horrible, and the lettuce was brown and wilted. There was nothing fresh about this burger at all. The chicken strips were tiny and tasted like they were cooked the day before. The fries were soggy and hardly cooked. The worst one was the milkshake, the chocolate and peanut butter malt was disgusting, how do you ruin that? It had barley any chocolate, there was no peanut butter just peanuts, the peanuts were rancid, and there was no malt. I had to throw it out and we went to the gas station and bought milkshake makings and did it ourselves.

The meal was $55, and we bought the shake separate order, it was $8. For $63 dollars I'm amazed that the food was this bad, we had to throw more than half of it away!

We would like to support local businesses, especially one of the only ones in Gardenvalley, but I will not...

I agree with a couple of reviews on the site. They are very inconsistent with what you get and what they have on their menu. The food is a bit better than when it was shoestring, but not if they forget to add item's you requested, over cook the food and sit there in line forever while the owner is too busy chatting with the patrons at the beer bar to notice she has a back log of people in line waiting to be helped. And God forbid you send something back because it was not what you ordered or w what you requested, you feel as though the Lady that owns it might punch you in the gut with the dirty death bestowed upon you looks she gives. I rather just get something from Georgetown or the new take and bake then to eat there any further. Remember, a happy customer is a repeat...
