Red Rooster recently opened in NYC's Harlem at 310 Lenox Ave.
"M", "SE" and "SN" and I went there for Sunday brunch. Although they don't accept reservations for brunch the wait was only 15 minutes versus the 45 minutes the hostess originally estimated. The front room was crowded with it's U-shaped bar. And a duet accompanied by an electric keyboard player served as the "Gospel Brunch" entertainment.
We started out with a serving of corn bread ($5) with clarified butter and tomato jam. The bread was sliced like pound cake and was light and sweet.
"M" and I both had the Nuggets and Toast ($14) - fried chicken nuggets with French Toast. The nuggets were good, but the toast was swimming in watery maple syrup.
Both "SE" and "SN" had the Fried Yard Bird ($18) - two pieces of fried chicken with collard greens. The chicken was good, but not great.
The atmosphere and decor would be reason enough for a return visit to try out some other dishes.
