It has become renowned for snowballs, homemade pralines, and specialty nachos, a wide array of Po-boys made on fresh, crispy, locally baked French bread, made-to-order burgers, seafood plates and chicken wings. Without a doubt, a prominent Red Rooster favorite is the “Yet-ca-mein”, a delectable chopped meat, egg, green onion and noodles in a soy sauce based also known as "Old Sober." Red Rooster is frequented by locals, and thanks to many dedicated patrons, visited by a host of celebrities and local artists.
