Since 2001 Red Rooster has been serving the community our signature Grilled & Rotisserie Chicken, Parisienne Potatoes, Rice and homemade Piri Piri Sauce. Our family-run restaurant cooks with the highest quality ingredients and makes every effort to use local produce. Our food is made fresh whether you place a catering order, dine-in or take-out at either of our three locations.
Simple ingredients. Real fire. Shared tables. Since 2001, Red Rooster has been more than just a restaurant – we’re preserving the sacred art of bringing people together over honest, flavorful food.
What started in our family kitchen has grown into something remarkable, yet beautifully simple. When we opened our first location in Richmond Hill, we had one goal: serve the kind of food that brings families together – hearty, flavorful meals cooked over fire, meant to be shared.
We never set out to create a sauce empire. Our signature hot sauce was simply what we served with our flame-grilled chicken, made fresh weekly in small batches. But our customers had other ideas. They started asking to take extra home. Then they began bringing their own containers. Finally, we got the message and started bottling it.
Over a million bottles later, what makes our sauce special hasn’t changed: real peppers as the first ingredient, balanced for flavor rather than just heat. It’s why families love it – parents can enjoy flavorful food with kids who normally shy away from “hot” sauce. When people move away, they stop by to stock up. When they host BBQs, it’s their “secret ingredient.”
Our commitment to quality runs deep – literally into the soil. What began as a restaurant has evolved into a complete field-to-table operation. We grow our own lettuces, herbs, and yes, the peppers and garlic that give our sauce its distinctive flavor. One discovery that surprised even us: a single head of our farm-grown garlic packs more flavor than four imported ones.
We’re passionate about growing food the right way. Our organic waste becomes compost for next season’s crops. We’ve mastered growing lettuces that survive winter freezes in unheated greenhouses. We store garden-fresh garlic in oil and keep cabbages in root cellars – blending traditional wisdom with modern farming innovation.
Every week, we make fresh batches of our signature sauce. Like any natural product, it varies slightly with the seasons – our regulars even notice when it’s a touch hotter than usual. That’s the beauty of real food made with real ingredients.
In our kitchens – which we proudly invite customers to see – we follow a simple philosophy: start with the finest whole ingredients, cook them with care, and season them just enough to let their natural flavors shine. There’s something primal and true about food cooked over fire, placed in the center of the table, meant to be shared.
This is our stand for slow food in a fast world. For keeping meals at the heart of family life. For preserving the sacred space that exists when people gather to share good food.
Whether you’re visiting one of our three locations, picking up our sauce for your own family BBQ, or stocking up before moving across the country, you’re part of the Red Rooster story. A story that proves that when you focus on quality, family, and tradition, good things grow naturally.
