Rooster's Southern Corner
About This Spot
Stepping into Rooster's Southern Corner feels like returning to a treasured family table on a quiet afternoon. The pace here is unhurried and genuine—where the focus rests on warm welcomes, home-cooked flavors, and the small but meaningful moments shared between bites. Sitting down, or often grabbing carryout, you sense immediately that this is a place where food is prepared with the care and attention reminiscent of a beloved grandma’s kitchen.
The atmosphere is straightforward and comfortable, inviting guests to relax without pretense.

Mealtime here is a celebration of classic Southern comfort, where hearty dishes are served up alongside welcoming conversation. The plates arriving from the kitchen carry a rich tapestry of familiar flavors—tender fried chicken with golden crusts, creamy mac and cheese that strikes the perfect balance between cheesy and comforting, or savory sides like collard greens and sweet yams. Each dish tells its own story, crafted with an eye toward tradition and that coveted “just right” taste that draws people back again and again.

My son and I went to try out Roosters this afternoon. Of course, we all cook different- little things like adding more cheese to the macaroni or having “moist” cornbread is our family’s preference. With that being said, they have done a really good job finding a middle road that can please all palette styles. The atmosphere was lovely and the people were welcoming and warm. We ended up getting two to go plates for other family members at home because we wanted them to enjoy as well. Our server was new, but she was sweet as pie-and started off the experience with excellence. Thank you for bringing a family vibe to our meal and we will definitely see you again!

Rooster's Southern Corner in Villa Rica, Georgia is a must-visit for anyone looking for delicious soul food. From the moment you step inside, the cozy atmosphere and welcoming staff make you feel right at home. And the food...oh, the food! Every dish is made with love and care, and you can taste it in every bite. The fried chicken is crispy and juicy, and the mac and cheese is creamy and flavorful. The collard greens are some of the best I've ever had, and the sweet potato casserole is a perfect balance of sweet and savory. And don't even get me started on the cornbread...it's like a warm hug in your mouth. Overall, Rooster's Southern Corner is a gem of a restaurant, and I highly recommend it to anyone in the area or just those passing through (much better than throwing away your money at a fast food establishment). The commitment to using fresh, locally sourced ingredients really shines through in every dish. So do yourself a favor and eat local - you won't be disappointed! Eat local!

You order meats and sides and everything is so well-priced and delicious. Everything tastes like a true southern grandma is in the back of the kitchen.

First visit to Rooster's today! 1. Food was delicious and 7.99 for meat + 3 sides was a steal! 2. Staff were very welcoming and polite! 3. Atmosphere is very plain but that's appropriate for a takeout place....all we needed was a table & chairs, lol, so it was fine for us! Rooster's may be our favorite place in Villa Rica! We had fried chicken w mac n cheese, sweet potato casserole, and green beans YUM!!!

Today was my first time visiting Rooster's. I ordered the 2pc dark meat fried chicken, mashed potatoes and greens with cornbread. It was absolutely fantastic! The fried chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and full of flavor. The greens were perfect - not over salted and the mash potatoes were a creamy delight! It was soooo good! And very affordable! I'll definitely be back!

I just discovered this place for the first time about 2 weeks ago and now come here about every other day. It is SOOO good, the food is like what I grew up on in the Deep South, it is delicious and a taste of home. It is super reasonably priced and everyone who works there is so nice. This is a gem in Villa Rica!
