Roosters Canton

Decided to try Roosters tonight after a friend raved about their wings. I placed a to-go order of chicken strips along with 30 wings to give them a fair shot. The chicken strips were delicious. Lightly breaded and crispy with tender white meat. However, the wings were a miss. The sweet thai chili had a great flavor but the garlic and the mild did not seem to have any sauce adhering to the wings themselves. And the worst part for me was the texture. Lightly breaded, juicy, and jumbo wings would normally be a best seller for me. But whether it was the 10 minute trip to get the wings home or something else, the wings tasted terrible. Think boiled meat tossed in sauce. It's like they just weren't finished. A pan sear or a grill would have gotten them across the finish line. And I suspect they might be better ordered at the restaurant. But after a mostly failed $50 test, I'm not eager to find out. Edit: I decided to re-review Roosters after a friend of mine wanted to go there. The food was hot and everything was very reasonably priced and delicious. I have since been back several times to the point I would call myself a regular. While they can become quite busy, I've always felt like the service was good. The only reason I still subtract a star is because the food can be inconsistent. Sometimes the wings are crispy with a light saucing. Other times you can't pick a wing up without it dripping sauce. And I still can't forget my boiled wing takeout incident. Even still I think it is a worthwhile dining experience. Especially since the baked mac n cheese is quite literally the best I've ever had.

Friendly place with allot of choices at reasonable prices. I had the dumpster fries with wedges and I should have just done that, it was allot for about $7. The wings are really big and cheaper than most places given recent price increases. I got Garlic and Buffalo sauces, I wish I would have asked for them to be crisper and all drums( $1 more) since the flapper part of the wing is not edible. Cold beer and clean bathrooms. Friendly attentive staff, plenty of TVs, and plenty of parking.
