First off this restaurant came highly recommended so I had to stop by. Came in for dinner and was wowed as soon as I walked in the door. The lady at the front was super nice and asked me if I had a reservation and when I said no, she said it didn’t matter and help me out right to a table. She recommended the yard bird with hot honey, and I had to have that. I also had the cornbread, which was amazing with the jam and the jalapeño butter. The collard greens and the mashed sweet potato were amazing also. Carlos helped me out and he was great and the manager even came over and she was really sweet and nice. The whole experience was amazing and definitely worth the extremely long trip that I took to come down here.

I had the pleasure of dining at Red Rooster Overtown yesterday, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I walked in, the vibrant atmosphere and welcoming staff set the tone for an exceptional meal.
The standout of the evening was, which was prepared to perfection and full of flavor. Every bite showcased the restaurant’s dedication to high-quality ingredients and creative culinary techniques.
What truly made the experience special was the food and service. The combination of flavor were delicious, lively ambiance, and excellent energy left a lasting impression.
I would rate Red Rooster Overtown 5 Starts out of 5 stars and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an incredible dining experience in the area!

I don’t usually do reviews, but I had to this time. For the price, it was not worth what we received. Food: they kept saying they add the Miami flare — leave the flare off and stick to the original! Harlem’s location exceeded the bar, this location missed the bar. The only thing great was The Grilled Pearl (grilled oysters) appetizer and the drinks (the Birds of Paradise [mezcal sangria] specifically — not the Yes Chef [similar to a mule]).
The Catch of the Day Escavitch (snapper) was very minimal on the fish itself and the veggies on top were skimpy and had no seasoning including salt barely existing :/ what really saved it with the rice, was asking for the cilantro aioli and chili crisp which elevated it. The green tomatoes were unseasoned, the sauce was also the savior here. The pear apple “cobbler” was more like an apple crisp with minimal breading, too much ice cream drowning out everything else. For $264, I would DEFINITELY take my money elsewhere. At the most I would only return for the one sangria drink and the grilled oysters appetizer. It looks better than it tasted. At least our server Katie was nice.

Beautiful black owned spot in Miami Overtown area. Super satisfied as a visitor with the customer service, ambiance and of course the food! Get the seafood picadilly and the cornbread! So delicious!
After dinner on a Saturday night, please go upstairs to experience THE SHRINE! Afrobeats, Dancehall and Amapiano all night long with a touch of hip-hop and R&B. Epic!
I highly recommend this black owned business!

Although I was excited to try this restaurant, I was extremely disappointed. Things started well. We were greeted warmly and seated before our reservation time. The server was ok, she seemed very bored and not very friendly; then it started to rain. The rain started to leak into the building and it started to flood the part of the restaurant we were in. We received our food and the sides were lukewarm and not seasoned well. My salmon was delicious but I was not able to finish it because the water was rising where we were seated. No one came to move us so we went to the hostess stand and asked to be moved. Our server practically deserted us for about 20 minutes. It took another 20 minutes to get dessert and speak with a manager. The manager, Charlotte was nice but I had to ask to be compensated for the food we were not able to finish due to the flooding. She only compensated us for half of one entree. I was very disappointed in the food, the service and the fact that the room we were in flooded. I would not return nor would I recommend Red Rooster Overtown.

We’ve been to Marcus Samuelsson’s restaurant in the Bahamas, Marcus at Baha Mar Fish + Chop House and also got a chance to see him do a food demonstration at SOBEWFF 2024. He seems like a genuine guy and a down to earth chef. I actually watched him on Top Chef. We were blown away with everything we had at his Bahamas location. So when we realized he had a restaurant here in Miami, we decided to check it out during our staycation in Brickell. Red Rooster Overtown was only about 10 min from our hotel so that was perfect.
This restaurant was also a part of the InKind app which we use so it was ideal, they actually offered a separate $50 off $150 discount directly from restaurant’s website.
Our reservation was for 7:30pm on a Saturday night. It wasn’t crazy busy when we arrived. Our server was Katie and she immediately made a good impression on us. Katie was incredibly personable, funny and full of energy! I loved her positive vibe. We double checked on the InKind thing and she confirmed but also let us know that she uses it too so she totally gets it. I felt like our whole dinner experience was just chatting it up. Haha. Loved how engaging she was. It was very easy to talk to her and she was a wonderful server that just went above and beyond.
Everything we ordered:
• Marqueta cocktail $18.00
• Brownstoner cocktail $15.00
• Lexington Deviled Eggs $12.00
• The Grilled Pearl $23.00
• Tuna Crudo $23.00
• Coconut Smoked Oxtails $41.00
• Ice Cream Sandwich $14.00
• Drip Coffee $4.00
Marqueta was my drink, it was a tequila based drink with Don Julio blanco, harissa, chambord, luxardo, pineapple, lime. Smooth and refreshing. Hubby had the Brownstoner which had nutmeg Bulleit bourbon, St. Germaine elderflower, cherry heering. His drink was strong. Didn’t love it but he didnt want to return it either.
Lexington Deviled Eggs were good. The Grilled Pearl which were grilled oysters with brown crab and chili crunch, this had good flavor and potential but I think it was a tad fishy than it was fresh tasting. Tuna Crudo was delicious and was a thick generous cut, really loved the ponzu and burnt orange flavors. Super fresh tuna.
We shared a main course for the Coconut Smoked Oxtails. All the ingredients sounded really interesting. This dish consisted of sweet plantains, yellow rice, long pepper and Thai Basil. Oxtail was a huge serving with three big pieces of oxtail. The peppers were yummy. I don’t recall any sweet plantains? Sauce was good but just a big portion. We had to take most of the dish home.
We ordered the Ice Cream Sandwich for dessert thinking it would be small. Wrong. It was so big that no way we were eating all that so when it arrived, we offered the tables next to us a portion. Gave half to table next to us and another quarter portion to table next to them. Our neighbors were so grateful that we shared our dessert. The quarter we got was just enough and all we needed.
Red Rooster was good but didn’t blow our mind like the other Bahamas spot we went to. Food was 4- stars and honestly, our server Katie was 110% awesome and she made the experience that much better for the full 5-star experience! We would come back again to try other menu items.
Let me close out by saying we had the cornbread and fried chicken from the Bahamas location was 100% worth it so if you get a chance, get those items!!! BOMB and totally legit!!!

Visiting from out of town and had to find something close to the bright line. The absolute best oxtails I have ever had at a restaurant. So very tender, exploding with flavor. I could’ve asked for a better dish than this one. We were greeted upon entering very nicely. Staff was very attentive and helpful. I also had the cornbread, which was OK, but it did have a good taste to it. Everyone else enjoyed their dishes as average, but the star of the night was the oxtails.

Loved the service, our waiter was Shawn; loved the food and loved the atmosphere. 10/10 no questions asked and not one piece of food left on the plate. Everything had great taste and service was timely. Cant wait to return.

It was my first time visiting this restaurant with my friends and my experience was excellent! We had a great server Shelbry who walked us through the menu, provided suggestions and answered any questions we had. He made sure our glasses were always filled with water and checked on us often. The cornbread was amazing and the Ms Fried Yardbird dish was very delicious. At the end of dinner, Shelbry even took the time to give us a small tour around the restaurant. We saw the artwork and he explained the history behind certain pieces. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

I’m a few days late in sharing this review, but I’m still full from the Thanksgiving feast provided by the amazing Red Rooster family. Literally everything was soulful and mouth-watering. From the jerk turkey, to the stuffing, to the cornbread, braised collard greens, mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, roasted carrots, salad, and sweet potato pie.. every single item was to die for! I feel incredibly blessed and thankful for the hands that prepared, cooked, and served my family and friends. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU for making this Thanksgiving truly special.
