If you believe there’s no such thing as too much cheese, Red Rooster has just delivered a winter treat that’s bound to make your taste buds sing.
As the cold weather settles in and we all start craving quick, easy, and oh-so-satisfying comfort food, the iconic Australian chicken chain has unveiled a new menu item that’s sure to have cheese fans lining up at the drive-thru.
Introducing the Red Rooster Cheeseburger—a limited-time creation that’s more than just your average burger. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill fast food fare.
Red Rooster has taken their famous crunchy chicken tenders, smothered them in a rich, US-style smoky cheese sauce (a recipe exclusive to the chain), added a classic slice of cheese, and tucked the whole lot into a soft, toasted bun.
The result? A cheesy, golden, flavour-packed burger designed to warm you up from the inside out.
Ashley Hughes, Red Rooster’s marketing director, summed it up perfectly: ‘We’ve had fans begging us for a cheesy burger, so we went big. This is a whole new breed of burger.’
‘A rich, cheesy flavour bomb that’s made to be devoured. We don’t do things halfway—this is how Red Rooster does burgers.’

But wait, there’s more for the true cheese devotees. Red Rooster offers exclusive, limited-time menu items through their app if you want to take your cheesy indulgence to the next level.
Download the Red Rooster app and you’ll unlock the Bacon Cheeseburger (think the new cheeseburger, but with a generous helping of crispy bacon) and the Cheesy Loaded Chips—Red Rooster’s signature chips topped with chicken pops and lashings of that irresistible smoky cheese sauce.
These app-only exclusives are available for delivery or ‘click & collect’, so you can enjoy your cheesy feast from your home or on the go.
Meanwhile, the new Red Rooster Cheeseburger is available nationwide from 2 July for a limited time, whether you prefer drive-thru, dine-in, take-away, ‘click & collect’, or delivery.
Why are we so obsessed with cheese, especially in winter? There’s something about the creamy, melty goodness of cheese that screams comfort.
It’s the ultimate winter warmer, and when paired with crunchy chicken and a soft bun, it’s a match made in fast food heaven.
Plus, with so many of us looking for quick, no-fuss meals that don’t compromise on flavour, it’s no wonder cheesy menu items are having a moment.
Red Rooster’s move to add a cheeseburger to its menu is also a sign of the times. As Australian tastes evolve, more classic comfort foods get a modern, indulgent twist.
Whether you’re a long-time Red Rooster fan or just looking for something new, this latest addition is worth a taste.
