About The Lucky Rooster

Nestled on the scenic shores of Old Hickory Lake, The Lucky Rooster at 5234 Saundersville Rd, Old Hickory, TN, is quickly gaining a reputation as one of Wilson County’s hidden gems. With its unbeatable combination of lakeside views, top-tier comfort food, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, this restaurant delivers a memorable dining experience that feels both familiar and fresh.

Guests rave about the Black & Blue Burger, a perfectly cooked patty packed with bold flavor and topped with blue cheese crumbles that elevate every bite. Pair it with their crispy, golden fries-especially the Parmesan cheese fries-and you’ve got a meal that’s simple, satisfying, and executed to perfection. The hot Buffalo wings are another standout, especially for spice lovers, with just the right amount of heat to keep things exciting without overpowering the flavor. A favorite combo among locals is sharing 12 wings with the Black & Blue Burger-a dynamic duo that consistently hits the spot.

What also sets The Lucky Rooster apart is its lakeside location. Arriving just before sunset offers a picturesque view over the water, making it an ideal spot for casual dinners or romantic evenings alike. After a year-long closure due to a kitchen fire, the restaurant made a soft return in late December 2024, much to the delight of regulars. While a few items like wraps, club sandwiches, and draft beer are temporarily unavailable as the team reintroduces their full menu, the core offerings have already made a strong comeback.

The space is clean and inviting, the service is attentive, and the pricing remains fair for the quality and portion sizes. With a straightforward menu crafted from simple, high-quality ingredients, The Lucky Rooster is proving that excellence doesn’t need to be complicated. Whether you're craving bold burgers, fiery wings, or a peaceful lakeside escape, this spot delivers all that and more.
