Roost Room has become my regular weekday lunch. Consistent quality, generous portions, and the staff has started to recognize me. I usually grab the Chicken & Waffles but I've worked through most of the menu and haven't had a miss yet.
Hidden gem. We were in the neighborhood for an appointment and stopped here based on a friend's recommendation. So glad we did. The Chicken & Waffles was unreal — clearly made with care. We're already planning our next visit.
Came here on a whim during my lunch break and I'm hooked. The Nashville Hot Sandwich was easily the best version I've had this year. Friendly staff, fast service, and they actually got my order right the first time. Will be back next week.
Mixed feelings. The Korean BBQ Wings was excellent and the cashier was friendly, but my side came out cold and they were out of two of the things I wanted to order. Probably worth another try, but not the experience I was hoping for.
Brought the family on a Saturday and we all walked out happy. Kids loved their food, my partner ordered the Buffalo Wings and finished every bite. Prices feel fair for the portions. The dining room was a little loud but that's expected on weekends.
