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.

This spot is owned by the same team behind Kate's Kitchen up north--which I've always found fantastic--and I'm happy to report this location is on that same elite wavelength. The Experience: The atmosphere is clean and impressively airy, making for a great morning vibe. Both the hostess and server were exceptionally engaging, even providing a personal water pitcher for the table--a small touch that makes a huge difference. The Food: Chicken Fried Chicken: This is the real deal. It was clearly prepared fresh, not frozen, which is a rarity these days. The Sides: The home potatoes were perfectly crispy, and the gravy was thick, peppery, and hit all the right notes. The Biscuit: This "super-sized" biscuit was essentially the icing on the cake. The Eggs: I ordered my eggs poached soft. They arrived a bit too soft (runny yolk was the goal, but these were just under), though in fairness, that's likely on me for the specific request! Verdict: If you want a breakfast that feels home-cooked with high-quality ingredients and attentive service, this is the place. I'll definitely be back for their famous French toast and medium poached eggs .

The waffle was very nice, the bananas were ok and the bacon could be crispier but I forgot to ask for extra crispy so that's probably my fault The service was good and the ambiance was nice. Also easy to find the bathroom so that's a win Overall pretty good I would give 4.5 stars but I can't so yeah pretty good you should go. Byeeeeeeeee

Of course, the food is nothing to write home about, but it's served hot and generally delivered with a friendly face. Payden was a great server and made sure that we had plenty of fresh coffee and checked on us frequently at this visit. IHOP doesn't do all the fancy breakfasts, but if you ask for some modifications or maybe even something off-menu, I bet they'll accommodate you. They do have an avocado toast option for the healthy types, but for those of us just there to eat more than 1000 cal in a breakfast setting, eggs, bacon, and whatever high-carb side you add goes down right. Prices have definitely gone up, as is the case pretty much everywhere. A full-on diner breakfast runs you about $14 now, which is still within range of the value. You're getting a nice comfortable setting, great service, and decent food. Put all those things together and that's probably why their successful brand has been around for as long as it has.
