Looks can definitely be deceiving, and this place takes the cake. Lodged in a triangular hut, this place offers fried chicken that I haven't found to be matched anywhere. Not even the Amish Market. Yes that's right.
And it's been in business for as long as I can remember; I know my parents went there when they were little too. And they are old. So that is saying something. And my parents still eat it to this day, which is also saying something...that it hasn't gone downhill since.
Can't say anything as far as the other items on the menu, but when it comes to chicken...Red Rooster knows where it's at.
Only seating options are outside, so expect to carry out. -

My husband ordered fried chicken for take out last Tuesday. We were very excited to try it because of the
good reviews. To our disappointment the chicken was bland!! One of my daughters told me it has a fishy taste and refused to finish it. The chicken appeared to have been fried in an oil that has been used several times already. Makes me think that my husband went on a bad day! -

This place rocks! now this is what you call fried chicken. The menu is overwhelming but get the chicken first. I cant describe it ...its likeone of those things where you have to see for yourself.
The cole slaw, macaroni salad, the potato salad yum yum! I wish they made biscuits but Ill settle for the dinner rolls...but they not offer butter..but thats ok... Their pies are homemade and its yum-o! I had the boston cream pie and it was omggggggggggggggg yum-o!! they have a few tables in the dining area but the place is small. The staff is great and friendly. If your in Damascus...stop here and then take a nice long nap. -

If I'm looking for some chickin' for some finger lickin' ... I hop in the car and roll out to the Red Rooster.
Anyone who DARES say Wendy's or Roy Rogers or KFC is "good" needs to get some fresh drummed chicken from the Red Roosta! -

Grease. And lots of it.
But grease can make for some flavorful food. And the chicken here proves it. Worth a try if you're looking for chicken, or happen to be in Damascus. -

Absolutely the best fried chicken on the east coast! I've heard of people coming from across the Bay Bridge to pick up boxes of their chicken for their parties, and one taste and you'll know why!
My art studio is across the street from them and I would eat there every day if my diet would let me -- BLTs, chicken salad sandwiches, oh - and don't forget the pie slices. They have coleslaw so good that I dip my fries in it rather than ketchup. I recommend it to all my customers -- like the previous reviewer said - it's like they put crack on it! :D -

By far the best fried chicken ever... they must sprinkling some crack on it because I can't get enough... There's no way to describe it. Nothing comes close to the fried chicken here.
This place is a small mom and pop store. This is the only you'll find anywhere. As you walk you'll see workers breading fresh chicken in their super secret crackalicious breading. The shop is very small and is more of a carry out type of shop. They have 2 or 3 very small table in the store. I sat and order about 10 dollars worth of food. The food and service was so good I left a 3 dollar tip. I handed the 3 dollars to the young waitress and she had a "what do I do with this" type of look on her face. I was like "that's your tip".. and she was ecstatic. Overall a great experience. -

Situated in Damascus, MD this hole in the wall type of establishment is quite a diamond in the rough. If you are looking for a nice greasy breakfast after a night of drinking, this is your spot. There is also all types of other sandwiches and hamburgers on the menu. Everything is really inexpensive.
Their fried chicken is pretty good, I wouldn't say it is the best I have ever had, but its good.
Bottom line is this - This place isn't open for its ambiance. They are open because they have a wide selection of good, cheap, greasy food. -

Three words - Best Fried Chicken!
I'm not sure if there's any other place on the east coast that can even come close to this chicken. Simply the best and worth the drive!
Note: For dessert, head over to Jimmie Cone Soft Serve - it's just around the corner. -
