We came for brunch and I got the Pabelleon arepa which was DELICIOUS; such a nice cook on the arepa and the flavor was rich - I did not, however, have the banana chips because they come from a shared fryer. The staff are knowledgeable about these risks for CC and will offer substitutes (I got a small side salad) We also ended with the chocolate tres leches - YUMMMM, all their desserts are marked GF or not in the case up front. I did not get sick!

My wife and I stopped by The Roost for breakfast, and it definitely lived up to its reputation…read more I ordered the corned beef hash with scrambled eggs and sourdough toast. The corned beef hash was outstanding, crispy where it should be, tender where it counts, and clearly made by someone who actually cares. You can taste the effort. The scrambled eggs were perfectly cooked too. Now, about that "sourdough." I have to confess I'm a bit of a sourdough snob after spending time eating the real deal in San Francisco. This wasn't sourdough. It was good white bread wearing a fake mustache. That said, it was fresh, buttery, and the marmalade was absolutely delicious, so I still happily cleaned my plate. The coffee is self-serve and bottomless, which I actually like. If you're the type who enjoys topping off your own cup whenever you want, it's perfect. If getting up to refill your coffee feels like an Olympic event, you may disagree. Service was friendly, fast, and exactly what you hope for at a breakfast spot, attentive without hovering. We visited around 8:30 on a Saturday morning. Since it's a college town and summer break was in full swing, it wasn't busy at all. I'd expect it to be a much different story once students are back. Overall, I'd absolutely come back. Just one request for The Roost: either upgrade to real sourdough... or call it white bread. My inner bread critic will thank you.

Don't let the retail scare you. Best biscuits and gravy in town. 100/10. Great Bloody Mary tooread more

I got the green chili biscuits and gravy. It was good but not spectacular. The consistency of the gravy was pretty strange and they give you one tiny dense biscuit. The service was good but I also feel like they were trying to push us out the door. That was a bit off putting. The restaurant is clean and is decorated really cool. I'd maybe come back in a bit but it's not something I'm gonna be craving to come to.

So I have some positive and negatives for this popular breakfast spot in Lawrence. First and…read moreforemost the food is actually pretty good! I got the spanakopita omelet and it was delicious. It was something unique that I had never had before. My fiancé got the pancakes, but they were not anything special just regular sized pancakes. My mother got the avocado toast which she said was really good! Now onto the service. If I had to rate just the service I would give it a 2/5. Our server did not have good customer service and just did not know how to talk to people. If you are a breakfast restaurant and you know you are going to be busy you should hire people that can work in a fast paced environment and know customer service. The building is super cool and interesting, but it is on Mass Street so if you want something quick this is not the place for you. I know all places on Mass are busy, but you have to get customers in and out. Overall if you want a unique atmosphere with good-ish food and willing to wait for seat then I would try it out!
