- JJ. pauletteCharlotte •3 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoI enjoyed my visit to the Red Rooster yesterday. The temperature, taste and quantity of food was very good. Most of the dishes we experienced was excellent. We tasted several of the menu selections. Loved the deviled eggs, fried chicken and jerk salmon . Service was very professional but friendly. The price for the quality of the food we ate was more than welcomed. I loved my experience at Red Rooster and would choose this restaurant again if I’m in this area again.More infoRed Rooster HarlemPrice: Moderate• Bar / Lounge / Bottle Service• Harlem•4.7
