A splendid fin-de-siecle building provides the home to this American styled restaurant. Here you'll find tasty portions of tucker for very reasonable prices, as well as a gaggle of smiling waitresses who are rather 'easy on the eye' as the expression goes. Contented looking fellows are often seen emerging from Rooster's doors after a hearty business lunch. Clearly they enjoyed their 'Farmer burger', washed down, no doubt, by a jar or two of Polish ale. Rooster has also proved something of a trusty place to kick off stag nights, the reasons for which we can't quite fathom.

Rooster

I oredered a polish speciality called "golonko". It was awful, it' s a big piece of pork, tastes awfull and I almost through up when I bite a piece of frozen meat... minimum quality of food, rude waitresses but pretty.

Terrible place ! When i was in Cracow a few weeks ago i was trying to find place where I could eat something other than a kebab after 10pm . So I arrived at this nasty and dirty place, most of the customers were drunk . But the worst thing was the food, the waitress served food so disgusting, I couldn't eat it, so I left Rooster and i will never come back.

We had Salmon dish and spag bol and it was nice. Really packed which I think is a good sign that they sell good food.Service was good and was very good value for money... Would dine there again and the view while you are waiting for the food is quite enjoyable...

This place is great. The roosters burger is lovely and the soups are tasty too. The staff are friendly and the big screen was even on for footy. All in all a good night.

You seem to have forgotten that it was you who started with the insults aimed at British and Americans. "Heat things up", violent as well by the sounds of it.

reviewed by Baz from United Kingdom on Apr.12.2010

That didn't make any sense. If you're trying to heat things up though, I'm still here:) But I suggest you stick to something you're good at, instead of pathetic attempts at insulting and/or trying to act adult. A rewiew, maybe, which this site is for:)

Re Sebastion, what are you going on about man, have you not got better things to complain about, very very sad man, as for a litre of beer they only sell half litres you fool, trying to big yourself up over beer, what a pathetic excuse you are.

reviewed by Baz from United Kingdom on Apr.09.2010

First of all I have to say it's funny with the americans and some british here who rate it bad. Why? Because they ordered a burger they didn't like. A BURGER. On a restaurant. A CHICKEN oriented restaurant. I had to laugh out loud^^ If you want a real burger, go to a STEAK house, or put out the bbq yourself! :D You don't go to a restaurant just to buy junk food! Jesus..

About the food: I ordered the Rooster platter and it was HUGE. I ate it all. Alongside a litre (yes that's about the size of those mugs) of beer and a tasty vodka shot. Yes I am fit. It was one og my best meals all time! Maybe I was lucky? Or maybe I was not stupid enough to order junk food at a restaurant, but rather one of their specialties.

The service was good. I never got to feel I was waiting for the food to arrive, and I was very(!) hungry. Maybe one of the reasons I ate it all.(trust me those portions are enormous). The service didn't have to be good though. Not as long as the staff continue to have the equipment and facade for that outfit...

PS: drunk brits: Being the best drinkers in the world(in foreign countries) doesn't make you more charming.. Just a tip based on experience;)

reviewed by Sebastian from Norway on Apr.08.2010

Some guide recomended the burger here. I don't! It tasted like it was pre-cooked and re-heated in microwave. Sauces was not freshly made in restaurant.

rossters was great very friendly and the best food in krakow but the night life was awful and most of the people rude

reviewed by craig from United Kingdom on Jan.26.2009

Krakow was my home for 18 months and Rooster was my dinner place at least two times per week, the food is nice, the are good but the waitresses are wonderul specially Evelyn,Ana (she speaks very good spanish),Magda; best regards from Monterrey, Mexico

reviewed by Lupe from Mexico on Dec.22.2008

An obvious knockoff from the famed Hooters restaurant chains in the US. The ladies were very nice looking and thin, which is true for a good portion of Poland. The food was problematic but most people go to this place to check out hot girls in hotpants, not to eat quality food. The English menu states something like, "Service is NOT included in the price".

Dear Polski friends. I am delighted that you have taken it upon yourselves to track down this magnificant restaurant/hooker bar - fun for all the family. I recommend all the cabbage dishes - especially if you don't like cabbage.

The food is good and the prices too.

reviewed by Valentina from Italy on Apr.01.2008

Agree with the previous poster - the food really needs improving. Friendly service, pretty girls etc etc and they can't really cock up the beer but the chicken and burgers are pretty tasteless and dry.

Sat down and read the menu in Polish, checked out the prices which were very reasonable, then the waitress came along and give us menu's in English. Everything had gone up in price! Being charged extra just because you are British didn't make me feel good so i left!!

GREAT FOR STAG PARTIES, THEY DIDN'T MIND YOU BEING WILD AND DRUNK, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU BOUGHT THEIR LITTLE SHORTS AND VESTS TO WEAR FOR YOURSELF (MEN) AND THEN COVER EVERY ONE IN GREEN MARKER PEN GIVING THEM MOUSHTACHES, WE WERE DRUNK AS SKUNKS AND THEY DIDN'T CARE, AWRSOME LOOKING WOMEN!!!

Amazing!! Beautiful waitresses wearing next to nothing. the food is not top notch but good for the money. we visited twice just to make sure it wasn't the beer making us see things.

well what can i say, the girls are awsome great bodies the lot, i nearly fell off my chairs when i the came over woth their short tops on and cheeky little hot pants. the food was also good but it wouldnt have mattered if it werent due to the fact that the girls were incredible. top notch.

reviewed by Drew peacock from United Kingdom on Dec.15.2006

The waitresses were nice (my wife told me to put my eyes back in and one point!), but quite frankly the farmer burger I ordered tasted more of 'farmer' than 'burger'. But at those prices I was not expecting the Hard Rock Cafe.

reviewed by Neil Tooley from United Kingdom on Nov.28.2006

My wife and like it because of the food, The fast service and you can have a meal two for about 83 zloty (not bad). After a visit to Rooster we're all ways stuffed. The only bad thing is the girls have to put up with comments from stupid english guys. However zapiekanka rocks you can get in kazimierz best in the world and its less than 4 zloty. I love you Domi

Sorry to disagree with all the hype but, average food, served by average looking waitresses.

Wow! This is maybe the greatest place in Krakow to eat :-)Nice, not too expensive food and the girls....wow :-). For those girls: WE COME BACK TOMORROW :D. I would give it 6/5 but that rating doesn't excist...

INTERESTING PLACE... THe food was good. The garden on the roof-top is awesome during the summer. The service is great (quick and friendly). Not recommendable if you're going with a first date ;o) I would definitely go back there.

reviewed by ani wilde from United Kingdom on Mar.24.2006

The only place in Poland that i have found that does ribs (very good). But it's speciality is chicken oh and the waitress' of course. If you are scared of polish cuisine this is the place to hang out, specially in the summer with the roof terrace.

reviewed by Vic from United Kingdom on Dec.01.2005

Had a cheeseburger here, was a bit like spicy kebab meat pressed into a patty, had a rubbery feel to it. Tasted good in the way kebab-flavored chewing gum would taste good. The fries are thin-sliced, mickey D style, but tasted like they'd been sitting for a bit. The waitresses are overly tan but not overly friendly, which makes it halfway as annoying as its cousin in the States, Hooters. There are American license plates on the wall, roadhouse feel. If you must go, don't ogle, and get chicken instead of beef.

reviewed by Bill from United States on Nov.26.2005

I'm lovin this place. I wish to have breakfast, lunch and dinner here 7 days a week. A big thank you to all the staff for making it a night to remember. Keep up the good work...see you all in the morning..

In my search for a good burger in Krakow, I visited Roosters with a couple of friends. Unfortunately, a good burger I did not find. Otherwise, the rest of the food was pretty good, the service ok. Be sure to check out the rooftop patio on warm days.

reviewed by jedrek from Poland on Jun.25.2005

They have,probably, the best salads in the whole Cracow.I highly recommend "grilled chicken salad". The dishes are HUGE!( Maybe because it is American-like place).
For those who like to eat in Sphinx I suggest to change the place for Rooster.U won't regret!:)

Very tasty - and the food was nice also!

reviewed by Berto Moraves from Spain on Mar.29.2005

I've been there several time during my trips to Krakow, andI think it's an excellent place! The food is great, better than many other places, and (of course) the service is almost perfect (and....nice to see). There is also a summer terrace on the higher floor, what else can you desire?
