I want to like this place more than I do, and give it a higher rating because the food is quite good, but it's very inconsistent. I've eaten here three times, and while the chicken is well made and juicy, the sides are frequently underseasoned.
Most recently I ordered a sando with no slaw, and found scraps of slaw both mixed into my fries and on the bottom of the bun for my sandwich, telling me they probably made my sandwich, put slaw on it, and then quickly scraped it off before wrapping it all up for the delivery driver. My limeade was also missing from this most recent order.

I arrived at this place today around 5pm est and they were our of White meat chicken, but there was nothing stating this. I place an order and then was told my order couldn't be fulfilled. Then, when I requested a refund. The person told me he was a cook and didn't know how to give refunds, because the cashier was not there. Then, you should have had a sign stating this. The order that, I ended up getting was not to my liking and was rushed to get me out of there. Now, I will never,ever frequent this place again...they suck.

Loaded Rooster Fries is a no for me. One visit and done. My stomach isn’t happy either. 🫤
Pros: staff is nice, order made correctly. I had the slaw and rooster sauce on the side because I was unsure. Paid for a side of ranch which was amazing.
Cons: chicken tender is small and nothing special about the taste; definitely not like the picture, ginger slaw no taste, chili awful no taste, SWEET pickles mixed in change the taste and not in a good way, cheese sauce terrible, rooster sauce terrible, tables need to be cleaned, floor sticky and the temp is hot in there.
I got a hot chicken sandwich and a flaming rooster tender - if you don't like spicy you should get one of the lower temperatures because the hot was hot enough and the flaming rooster had me sniveling. But the chicken was damn good.

This is yet another TOP CHOICE in the Avondale area, serving food really not offered at any other local establishments, which is PERFECT!
Pepper Roost represents one of the best menu items the south has to offer: crispy chicken sandwiches, and theirs are among the best.
French fry portion was more than generous, even for the kids menu.
Large cut of some of the crispiest chicken you've had. Flavors all on point!
Service was great, employee was sweet and meek. Place looks very tidy, ample seating. Water and cups thoughtfully available at silverware station for customers.
My only critiques are, fries lacked salt, which could be fixed easily for any customers with salt packets provided at silver ware station; and I wouldve appreciated a healthier serving of coleslaw on my sandwich - also an easy fix. So, the five star review still stands!
Guys, if youre in avondale and craving a crispy chicken sandwich, this is the place to go!!
