The Roost

I ordered out. Fried green tomatoes were perfect 👌 but im not sure i would ever be able to dine in. The place was so packed and I cant deal with that many people that closely together 😅

When I tell you we got our food before we barely took a few sips of our starter drinks... Wow! The Roost was comfortable and welcoming. All staff made an effort to ensure we had everything we needed. It was clearly a team effort, and they all seemed to genuinely enjoy each other's company with friendly banter. Our waitress was so personable and we laughed several times together. And don't let my mention of how fast the food arrived scare you - it was cooked well, and it was delicious! They even added a bit of cinnamon to my buttered toast - an addition I didn't know I needed but now I never want to be without. Highly recommend this place!!

Great service! I'm on a Carnivore diet and they were able to accomodate me with ease. Very friendly "hometown" feel! Menu is pretty neat with several options. They also have homemade salsa's and good hot sauce choices if you like the kick.

We popped by for lunch after spending time swimming at Purtis Creek State Park. Rooster fries were underwhelming since we were expecting them to be smothered in cheddar (per the menu). Wasn’t expecting such a sweet gravy on the mashed potatoes. Otherwise, service was quick and kind, and the salad, catfish, hushpuppies, and Philly steak sandwich were great!

We really enjoyed the "Momma hen" breakfast. The pancakes are amazing!! They aren't like pancakes you get anywhere else. Just fluffy clouds of delish! Gravy and biscuits also very good. The atmosphere is as a small town should be. Local gentlemen and law enforcement conversation and laughter. We had a blast!
