Reviews
"We are so glad to have a place like The Roost in our neighborhood - it’s a real anchor! All the food is fantastic, and I love the variety. Easy to bring a group to. We don’t have kids ourselves but I also love seeing families eating here & it being kid friendly. My only requests are: that they rotated some of their offerings more often, and that there were more shareable/appetizer style dishes."
"This was a great experience for a food hall. Ordering was easy for me, though a couple friends struggled to bring up the menu on their phones. The QR code is matched to the table so getting our for was also easy. The food was overall pretty good. I had a oatmilk coffee, the kitchen sink nachos and a lemonade. The tacos, pork belly poutine fries, and beef fat fries were also pretty good according my friends. The only miss from our group was the burger, unfortunately. It could have used some more sauce."
"Really impressed with this place. Great range of food options, nice atmosphere at the bar. Variety of beers on offer was impressive, they had some top tier breweries in the mix. We had a bunch of different tacos which were really reasonably priced. Definitely recommend."
"its fancy food hall with lots of different options. you sit down, get the menu on your phone, and select different dishes from different places, and they bring it to you... i loved getting sushi and taco and avacado toast all in same meal."
"Great time at The Roost. Love the concept. You find a table and order from any of the food/drink/dessert available from your phone. We tried pizza, sushi, draft beers and caramel custard pie. We then ended with a mocha latte. Yum and yum. What's really nice is you can try a little of everything. Service was fantastic, everyone was so nice and we never felt rushed. We were able to really relax and enjoy our food. We sat in a booth on the bar side (The Shelter) which was less bright with warm comfortable light. This was perfect for me as I easily get migraines from bright white lights. Overall a great relaxing time. Cant wait to go back and try the taco salad I saw go by that looked awesome!"
