“ I am not from NOLA and it was my first time at Red Rooster. The service was great, southern hospitality at its finest. I ordered a bit of everything. I ordered Two snowballs Mardi Gras and Strawberry with condensed milk. They were both delicious and they came with a large top. I also ordered Fried fish that was seasoned to perfection, fried well, and it was juicy with a nice crunch. As I only ordered the fish it came with a Hawaiian roll. Best combination hands down. Double cheese burger combo fully dressed With a side of French fries. The burger was seasoned well and the toppings were perfectly topped, tossed on not sloppily. Presentation was everything. Lastly, I ordered the shrimp yetcamein the broth was seasoned well and the shrimp was cooked perfectly, not over cooked. The noodles were a little too much for the small soup I had. It over powered the dish and if I could get it with less noodles next time that would be all that I would change. I highly recommend giving Red Rooster a try. You will most certainly get your monies worth. ”
“ More than just snoballs - a full menu is available! My daughter and I stopped here on a Tuesday afternoon in July of 2019 for snoballs. They were delicious and our only regret was that we didn't come prepared to eat a full meal as well. The service was super friendly and our snoballs were ready quickly. It's in a residential neighborhood area but we found a place close by to park. Just know that may be an issue, depending on what time you arrive. ”
“ THEY KNOW WHAT THEY DOING. 10/10 Hands down best grilled cheese I ever had in my life. That’s what made me come back. PRICES ARE FAIR and everything is so perfect it makes you come back!!!!! Grilled cheese, hot dog, crawfish nachos, wing meal, and a snowball for under 30! You can not beat that!!! ”
“ Always a good spot to stop and grab a snowball or a quick sandwich on the go....def a neighborhood treasure... ”
“ In the heart of New Orleans' throbbing Central City, a gem is hidden in plain sight: Red Rooster Snowballs. This place started small, a modest pit stop dubbed "Little Red Rooster" back in the firecracker summer of '77. Under the watchful eyes of "Ms. Lynn," it's morphed from just another seasonal joint into a full-blown, year-round sanctuary of flavor, standing defiant against the monotony of the typical New Orleans tourist traps. This isn't just about snowballs. Sure, they sling them with the best—try the banana snow cone drenched in condensed milk. It's like mainlining banana cream pie straight into your taste buds, minus the unnecessary fluff of crust. But this place is a microcosm of the city itself. The menu reads like a roll call of every New Orleans staple: po' boys stuffed to the gills, seafood that practically swims onto your plate, pralines so sweet they’ll make your teeth sing, and sandwiches that do the Muffuletta tradition proud. Ordering here is a breeze—no fuss, no muss, just pure efficiency with a side of Southern charm. There’s a window for shouting your desires into and another where those desires come to life, handed over in styrofoam and paper, steaming hot or blissfully cold. And if you can grab the lone picnic table out front, do it. It's the best seat in the house for soaking up the local color, watching the life of the neighborhood unfold as you dig in. Red Rooster is more than a mere eatery; it's a testament to New Orleans' spirit. It's where the locals go to escape the predictable and dive headfirst into the real, unvarnished culture of this city. Here, amidst the clatter and clamor of Central City, you're not just feeding on good food; you're absorbing history, community, and the kind of authenticity that can’t be fabricated. This place is a slice of life, a slice of New Orleans, and damn, does it taste good. ”
