After 43 years of serving hearty American classics, Rooster’s Restaurant, a beloved fixture in Florida’s dining scene, is preparing to close its doors. Yet, for those who have cherished its presence, there remains a brief window to relive the memories and flavors that have made Rooster’s a local legend.
Rooster’s, more than just a restaurant, has been a part of life’s celebrations and everyday pleasures for many in Florida. It’s been a place of nostalgic family dinners, weekend treats, and familiar comfort, much like the now-closed Kapok Tree in Clearwater and Bud’s Chicken Take Out in Lake Worth. The sports bar’s popularity was anchored by its phenomenal pork tenderloin sandwiches, Philly cheesesteaks, chicken wings, and an array of lunch box specials.
The restaurant’s menu has been a testament to classic American cuisine. From homemade soups to a wide range of subs, and an extensive selection of seafood and burgers, Rooster’s has catered to diverse tastes. It’s this culinary variety and quality that earned the establishment a cherished status in Margate, reflected in a strong 4.1 out of 5 stars rating on Google reviews. Patrons like Eddie, who praised the best chicken wings and made it a point to visit whenever in town, embody the deep connection many felt with Rooster’s.
