Rusty Rooster - Gonzales (TX)

5 /5 Pferch: Love this chicken, it crispy large pieces, fairly priced. Their fries are the best.

1 /5 Richard L George: I stopped in for to go catfish on a work trip to Gonzales and it was absolutely disgusting. The first piece of fish I broke in half still had remnants of the skin all over one side so it wasn’t cleaned well at all. I’m surprised they didn’t just deep fry the whole catfish. I’ve had good catfish at several places around the state and this was hands down the worst. I threw the whole order in the trash. $30+ down the drain and I ended up getting tacos from a local taco place. Hopefully the chicken is better than the fish, I didn’t try it. On a positive note, the sweet tea was delicious!

5 /5 Bitbelt dot Com: Driving thru Gonzales Texas and saw a small town chicken joint. I’m a sucker for fresh livers and gizzards so had to stop and see if they were on the menu. To my luck they were! Even better the drive thru menu says there will be a wait while they make them fresh. Talk about fresh!! They were hot and crisp. The wait was so worth it. The price was less than $10 and included a roll and gravy. I have zero complaints. This place is a gem. I don’t get there often but will definitely stop in every time for this amazing food. Full transparency I did not go inside. Have zero clue how that experience is but the drive thru has left me wanting to get back asap.

4 /5 A K: We had never been here or any of the other locations, but had a craving for fried catfish and thought we’d give it a try. Ordered the 2 pc combo with slaw and okra. The fish and hush puppies were great, the okra had a few pieces that were over-fried and the tartar was just prepackaged. I asked for a water and as the guy at the window was closing it I asked him if there was a charge, he continued to close the window without answering me and already had my card so just added the .52 for the water without my permission or even alerting me to the charge. I understand you’re a small “ish” business and cups, straws and lids cost; it would be great though if employees were trained to say there is a charge, is that ok? I also felt like the prices were steep but maybe that’s bc I live on the gulf coast.
