The Red Rooster Drive-In burst onto the scene in the spring of 1963, emerging as a charming summertime custard haven that quickly captivated the hearts of neighborhood families and adventurous motorists making their way upstate from the bustling streets of New York City.
In a pivotal moment for the establishment in 1967, Heinz Tiede, a visionary and former manager of the very first Carvel ice cream stand in Hartsdale, NY, took the reins of this roadside gem, known for its delightful chalet roof and the eye-catching 6-foot rooftop ice cream cone. This landmark continues to enchant visitors to this day. Not one to rest on his laurels, Heinz swiftly transformed the Red Rooster into a multifaceted experience by introducing a limited food menu, inviting outdoor seating, and extending its hours year-round. As if that weren’t enough, he added a touch of fun with a miniature golf course that has become a popular feature for guests of all ages.
What truly sets the Red Rooster apart is its warm, inviting family atmosphere, lovingly cultivated by Andy Lintzeris and Jon Callahan’s dedicated stewardship. Together, they have devoted over half a century to this classic American treasure, earning high praise from loyal locals and hungry travelers, who declare it the best spot for burgers, fries, and shakes.
At the heart of the Red Rooster’s enduring success lies a simple yet powerful principle: an unwavering commitment to food quality. Each dish surpasses the standard fare typically found in quick-service restaurants, with all items meticulously cooked to order. Beyond the exceptional food, the restaurant’s remarkable service truly stands out, creating a memorable experience that has kept generations of fans returning repeatedly.
Of course, fur-covered family members are welcome. The Red Rooster welcomes well-mannered leashed dogs in all grassy seating areas.
