Rooster's BBQ DeliB

979 Randolph Ave, St Paul, MN 55102 · Barbecue restaurant, Deli, Takeout Restaurant · St Paul

Neighborhood BBQ and fried chicken takeout with excellent ribs and chicken, big portions, low prices, but inconsistent service and occasional order errors.

The verdict

Rooster's BBQ Deli delivers solid neighborhood barbecue with exceptional fried chicken and ribs that justify its loyal following and cross-town appeal. However, inconsistent execution on certain items and variable service quality prevent a higher grade, while the minimal seating and utilitarian setting limit its appeal beyond takeout-focused diners. Strong value and reliable core dishes make it worth visiting for casual, generous BBQ.

One caveat: Occasional order mistakes or missing items reported; check bags before leaving
