Restaurant to roll back prices to 1988
The original Roosters restaurant at 3501 N. Main St. in Dayton will celebrate its 20th year in business by rolling back prices on its most popular menu items to 1988 prices for one day only, on Tuesday, Sept. 30.
Roosters has evolved into a 20-store chain of casual-dining restaurants that includes two other Dayton-area locations: 103 N. Springboro Pike in Miamisburg and 257 W. Central Ave. in Springboro. It will open its 21st Roosters in October in New Albany near Columbus.
The special menu prices — to be offered only at the 3501 N. Main Street location — will include 10 Wings/$3.25, Hamburgers/$1.95, Cheeseburgers/$2.15, Grilled Chicken Sandwiches/$2.25, and Curly Fries/95 cents. The prices will be in effect from open (11 a.m.) to close (10:30 p.m.) on Tuesday, Sept. 30.
To accommodate the anticipated spike in business, the Roosters Road Show, a restaurant on wheels, will be on hand serving the specials. Stand-up tables will be set up outside, and there will be a DJ and other entertainment between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m., according to Roosters officials.

Wow! I didn’t realize prices were they high 20 years ago. It doesn’t seem like much of a deal when I can get Fries at McDonald’s for $1.00, a double cheeseburger for $1.00 and a chicken sandwich for $2.89By Squirrelly

I’m sure Roosters would taste better than McDonalds. I appreciate they are doing this, but I don’t go out to that part of town much.By skeeter

They can roll back prices b/c nobody will go there. Roosters is a toilet contributing to heart problems, obesity, and flat out stink.By in Huber

Roosters has good wings, very similar to Fricker’s. Sounds like dinner for that night along with a 6 pack of Molson.
