Red Rooster

Red Rooster is a friendly old style corner chicken and chip shop.
In addition to the classic x% of chicken and chips (with peas and gravy of course), which they do very well, Red rooster offers luncheonette style meat and salad rolls, various salads, burgers and hot packs.
It can get a bit busy around twelve O’clock when the local business crew drop in to get their lunch, and when Red Legs games are on at the Norwood oval which is nearby. Otherwise it is fairly cruisy.
The chicken schnitzel burger is really good value at about five bucks a pop. Also the chicken schnitzel hot pack is pretty good.
There is a nice little shaded eating area out the front with views of the oval and the rotunda. There is also seating inside.

For good takeaway chips and chickens, this is the place. These are the dudes.
Don’t be fooled by the name: this isn’t one of those drive through franchises you see everywhere, it’s an old school chicken & chips deli. They must’ve been annoyed when the megabucks place took their name.
They are always busy, and despite having seats both inside and plastic ones outside, there is pretty much no one here for a sit down meal — it’s takeaway after all and has no real vibe to make you stay. Some of the staff are really friendly and nice, but there is that one lady who I think hates me. Not sure why.
As an old school chicken shop, they do one thing and they do it well: hot packs. Oh yes. I highly advise you to grab yourself a quarter chicken hot pack, with chips, peas, carrots and a bucket load of gravy next time you’re hungry. Or hungover. You won’t be disappointed.
The burgers and other offerings are all OK as far as that goes, but not sensational. To be honest you should come for the hot chickens and chips, maybe a salad or two — and leave happy.
