I love the counter service concept and being able to pick my pastry out of the case before finding a seat. I ordered the breakfast burrito, a lemon poppyseed muffin, and a latte. For brunch catching up with a friend, it was the perfect blend of savory and sweet. And MAN was the breakfast burrito delish - I adore when breakfast items have a hearty serving of avocado, and the burrito struck the perfect balance of avo and egg goodness. The accompanying sauce was also delicious. My only complaint is I'm not a local so I can't visit more often. Definitely give this one a try!

My son had the grand idea to stop by for a brownie and when they walked in we were greeted by a friendly hostess who asked if we needed a table for 4. We were still thinking we would stick to just a sweet treat, until we looked at the menu and were told it was happy hour. We decided to all get dinner and were not disappointed! The meal was started with some delicious bread rolls, the beers were only $1.50 on happy hour and they even gave us scotcharoos to end our experience!! We are already planning our next trip so I hope to see you there! I promise it won't disappoint!

My friend also ordered a stout flight that came with blue cheese chips and donuts. The food was good, but I can't comment on the stout. The service was pretty quick, but we did ask for napkins several times and did not get them. Overall, it was not bad, and I would definitely go back.

You can choose from a selection of menu items or you can build your own sandwich or salad. I chose a menu selection, they tossed it all in a bowl with some dressing and packed it into a little container with zero room for activities.

In fact, this restaurant holds a special place in my wife and I's hearts as it was the location of our first date. During our most recent visit to Tin Roost, we ordered the pork tenderloin with broccoli (7.9/10) and a burger with fries (7.5/10)! We also ordered one of a few ciders that Tin Roost was offering on tap. Honestly, the food is pretty middle of the pack. The star of the show was surprisingly the roasted broccoli side. The service and ambiance was stellar during our visit. There are tons of seating options from bar side, high tops, booths, tables, and a big patio. Would highly recommend giving Tin Roost a try if you've never been!

We got the double smash burger and added an egg - it was amazing. Seriously a great burger (would probably get without egg in the future). We also got the tater tot skillet, which was also good. We also got a burrito (not pictured) it comes drenched in queso and is kind of hard to eat, in the future will probably ask for the queso on the side. Portions are large. I am always a bit shocked at the price at the end of the meal, it is pretty expensive. I also don't like that you never get to see your itemized bill, the server uses the mobile payment machines and all you see is the overall total on the screen. Besides the cost, the food is good and there are lots of large table options for friend groups. There is also a lot of parking onsite.

I didn't realize they were uncooked until I took a bite, and they tasted horrible. The broccoli side was good and surprisingly well priced for the portion given. I got the tortellini which was heavy on the mushroom flavor due to the mushroom sauce- which I thought was interesting because I didn't remember that being mentioned anywhere in the description. And the last pasta was cajun chicken pasta (i think). It was meh. Overall the food was nothing spectacular. Also, I felt really bad for the employees. There was one lady, who I am guessing was the manager, running around yelling at everyone, but to an outsider it just seemed like the manager was bad at her job. When our order was being taken, the manager came up to the person halfway through taking our order and told her to switch places with another employee. The employees immediately complied, and the manager went to yell at someone else. Then we had to re-order what we had started to order which is fine, but I felt like it was super weird behavior from the manager. I'm probably doing a bad job at explaining the bad vibes this lady brought to the place, but it was bad enough that I was like 1. I feel bad for the workers and would never want to work here myself and 2. Thats probably why our food was uncooked, the employees were so busy getting yelled at for nonexistent things that they forgot.
