| - Was on our way to York Region Pride, when we happened across Red Rooster. We just so happened to be making a stop at the local Party City to deck out our Jeep for the parade and decided we needed a quick lunch. Oddly enough, the two of us just so happen to be having a conversation about Portuguese chicken in the car and it was as if the Portuguese chicken gods placed this at our feet. We just could not resist and slide in.
The restaurant itself was clean and modern, with some nods to Portugal and a television with the World Cup game on (if memory serves). The menu had some great offerings, which were cheap in price. I went for the 1/2 Chicken with potatoes and caesar salad for $13.50 and got a large peri-peri sauce for an additional $5.00
The serving sizes are HUGE, let me tell you that. The chicken itself is juicy, tender and delicious. I felt like the salad itself was kind of an afterthought, however, I could have had more potatoes and on second thought, I should have had potatoes on potatoes. But oh well, that's on me. The peri-peri sauce I got was medium but tasted more like a mild. I got a large size and it was literally served in a bowl. I would have liked a head's up from my server that it was that big, as I likely didn't need a size that big and would have ordered a small or medium.
Overall, I loved the vibe and experience here. 10/10, would come back.
