Rooster's Party Store is a hidden, old-school convenience store with a surprising and beloved hot food menu. Many customers are impressed to find it offers the best fried chicken in town, available fresh by the piece, in dinners, or as a special lun chi deal. The hot food display also features outstanding homemade sides like macaroni salad, coleslaw, mashed potatoes and gravy, mac and cheese, and hot vegetables. For cold options, there are very good homemade pasta salads, broccoli salad, deviled eggs, and cold sandwiches made on superb bread. It is a perfect place to grab picnic food for the beach. The store has a decent selection of every liquor and beer imaginable plus a good selection of wines, making it a great stop for drinks and snacks. They also carry unique items like southern style sour pickles. Service is friendly and efficient. For larger orders, it is recommended to call ahead. The business is takeout only, with hours that vary in and out of season. Rooster's is considered a real hoot and a beloved gem in the town.
Best deli in the area! Amazing food (especially their chicken)! Great soups, chili, and different specials every day. Also such a friendly staff. Always willing to go that extra mile. A+++, strongly recommend!
