Rooster's Sports Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Rock Island

stopped by this location after reading the reviews to see what it was all about. when we walked in we where greeted by the bartender and seated ourselves. she came came over with menus and took a drink order but not too much conversation after that. all the seats at the bar was full so maybe she was busy. music was playing, and one tv was on at the bar. I noticed several Tv’s on the walls but only one was playing. I ordered drinks which was made really good. our food was another conversation. we ordered a burger basket and the fries were clearly burnt but just to confirm what we were looking at I went back to the reviews I read and clearly the fries where not burnt.

I would go back because of the drinks and I someone said they had pool and darts upstairs but it was closed off right now. I will pass on the...

The wings are, so far, the best I've had in the QCA. Fried crispy outside, juicy inside, without the heavy salt or seasoning that can cover up the flavor of the chicken. They're the perfect platform for the variety of sauces. Get them on the side so you can try a few. And watch for...

Bar was found down a quiet side street. You have to go up a few stairs to reach the bar. The bar itself appears dated but clean. The bartender greeted us and gave us menus. We were the only dinners, and I don't know why, the food was FABULOUS! I highly recommend the fresh pork rinds!!! Oh my gosh! I don't necessarily recommend going for food after 8pm. But definitely find them and try their rooster burger, their pork tenderloin, and their fresh pork rinds (Onky $2.50 for a...
