About Rooster's Roadside Creamery And Grill

If you find yourself driving through Elizaville, the stop worth making is Rooster's Roadside Creamery and Grill tucked away at 669 County Rte 2, a place that feels like a slice of small-town charm mixed with comfort food classics. The first thing that hits you is the smell of sizzling burgers on the flat-top and the sweet, creamy scent of fresh ice cream wafting out the window. It’s the kind of roadside spot where you can grab a quick bite, sit under the open sky, and watch families and locals wander in for their favorites.

The menu leans into hearty American grill staples with generous portions. Burgers come stacked high with fresh toppings, grilled chicken sandwiches pack smoky flavor, and fries are served golden and crisp. For those who crave comfort, the pulled pork is slow-cooked until tender, giving it that melt-in-your-mouth texture that pairs perfectly with a tangy barbecue sauce. What makes this place stand out, though, is the creamery side. Ice cream is made fresh and comes in rotating flavors, with classics like vanilla bean and chocolate fudge sharing space with seasonal creations. Kids run up to the counter wide-eyed, debating over cones or sundaes, while adults rediscover their sweet tooth in every scoop.

On busy summer weekends, the location becomes more than just a diner it’s a community hangout. Travelers passing through stop for a quick meal, while regulars line up knowing exactly what they want. Reviews often mention the friendly staff who seem to know repeat customers by name, adding to that authentic roadside diner atmosphere. There’s something nostalgic about a place that doesn’t overcomplicate the food but delivers quality and consistency, which is why so many visitors circle back whenever they’re in town.

Industry experts often say independent roadside eateries thrive on trust and consistency, and Rooster’s is a prime example. While chains dominate highways, spots like this provide something unique: food made with care, served in a setting that feels personal. National surveys, like those from the National Restaurant Association, point out that diners value quality and authenticity above all, especially in rural and roadside locations. Rooster’s shows exactly why that rings true. It isn’t about high-concept dining it’s about a juicy burger done right, a cold cone on a hot day, and a place that locals and travelers alike can count on.

“ Wonderful service - had burgers and fries. Food was great - Learned that meat is from local farmer - and learned about Tallow fries, they are delish!

“ Roosters Roadside is exactly what Elizaville needed. The food is top notch!! I got a smash burger and it was delicious. I also tried the Monkey Bones hard ice cream with a Hazelnut drizzle. The atmosphere was great too! ”

Katherine Hardeman

“ Stopped by this place on the way home after visiting Lake George. I ordered Rooster burger , Naked burger, Large French fries, potato skins, Cajun clucker. Recommend Cajun Clucker and Potato skins. FF was little bit salty. Would definitely come back if I'm in the area again. ”

John Suh

“ Am awesome little roadside grill with outdoor dining. You order your food and then wait for your name to be called. There are plenty of large picnic tables with umbrellas to sit at. There is games to play while you wait or eat. Such as, bag toss, ladder golf, and a huge connect 4. I ordered the cheeseburger with bacon jam and beef tallow fries, both of which were amazing! You really can't beat fries fried in beef fat! Also, there are so many unique flavors of Leiby's ice cream as well as soft serve flavors. It's open Wed-Sun. Check it out, you will not be disappointed! ”

Jeremy Meyer

“ Stopped here on the way back from the Adirondacks. Easy to find. Had some basic menu items (chicken tenders, fries, wrap, mac n cheese) and the whole family was satisfied. Will have to return to try their desserts. ”

Daniel Caracci

“ Pros - Great ice cream, wings and burgers Cons - The 3x I visited despite having no line it took well over 20 minutes for me to get my food. Orders are not timed so that everything on the order is served together. The Mac & Cheese was inedible flavorless mush. Despite having outdoor seating there is no cell service with any carrier or WiFi so you can’t stay long if you need to be reachable. Pricing is on the expensive side but not unreasonable ”

Josh

“ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had an amazing experience! The ice cream was incredibly creamy and flavorful, with a great variety of unique toppings. The food menu was diverse, delicious, and beautifully presented. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the whole visit even more enjoyable. Perfect place for a treat or a casual meal — highly recommend! ”
