Rooster’s Roadhouse, open for the past couple of weeks, is attracting quite the crowd for lunch.

The restaurant at 113 Industrial St. is next door to Fuzzy’s Taco Shop.

The restaurant is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Wednesday and 11 a.m. to midnight Thursday through Saturday.

Alan Pierce, one of a group of three behind opening the new restaurant, says he hopes more will also stop in for dinner.

“Lunches are really good,” Pierce says. “We’re looking for some dinner business. We want to get the word out that, ‘yes, we are open for dinner as well.’”

The menu is available online at www.roosters-roadhouse.com.

Those who enjoy outdoor dining should appreciate both the front sidewalk patio and the deck that has been added at the back of the restaurant.

Crews are also working on a deck at the back of Fuzzy’s Taco Shop.
