Customers invited to "Experience the heat, Savor the flavor' during the eatery's grand opening on East State Street.
DOYLESTOWN, PA — After a lengthy wait, Red Rooster Hot Chicken will be opening its doors on Friday, Sept. 5, at the former site of Quinoa on East State Street.
From 5 to 8 p.m., the new eatery which specializes in Nashville Hot Chicken, will be giving out free food and welcoming customer inside.
With a slogan, “Experience the Heat; Savor the Flavor,” Red Rooster’s menu features hot chicken sandwiches, hot chicken tenders, loaded mac and cheese, loaded fries, milkshakes, sliders and more.
Hot chicken is a specialty fried chicken that has come out of Nashville. It has grown in popularity in Bucks County and the Philadelphia region with several locations popping up.
“We’re not just serving food - we’re serving energy, spice, and serious good vibes,” says its website.
Founded by a Central Bucks High School East graduate with a passion for bold flavors and fresh ingredients, Red Rooster is a suburban hot spot that re-imagines halal comfort food with heat, heart, and a whole lot of soul.
“Think Nashville-style spice, a buzzing atmosphere, and a menu that’s always fresh, always fiery. From our crispy, juicy chicken to the vibrant ambience, every visit is an experience. Pull up, dig in, and feel the flavor,” the website says.
Raheem Kakar, the founder of Red Rooster, dove into the restaurant business right after high school graduation.
Born into a food-loving family that ran successful restaurants in Pennsylvania, he grew up surrounded by the aromas of scratch-made meals and the hustle of busy kitchens. Inspired by his roots, and driven by ambition, Raheem launched Red Rooster to bring his flavor to the community literally.
With a passion sparked by childhood cooking shows and sharpened in a family that knew how to feed a crowd, Raheem set out to do things differently. Simple, high-quality food. No shortcuts. No compromises. Just bold, spicy, halal fried chicken and a vibe that’s as fresh as the menu.
Young, driven, and full of fire, Red Rooster is more than a restaurant. It's Raheem’s way of sharing what his family did best: serving food made with heart.
Red Rooster opened its first location on Street Road in nearby Warminster in June 2024.
“Red Rooster Hot Chicken began with a simple goal: serve fresh, halal chicken packed with bold southern flavor. What started as a small dream quickly became a local favorite, known for crispy sandwiches, loaded sides, and customizable spice levels.”
