Roasters may not always be in the conversation for the best chicken joints in Atlanta, but it should be. Granted, that conversation is usually premised on fried chicken vs. rotisserie, but they can definitely hold their own for tender, juicy chicken. You can choose 1/2 or 1/4 chicken options with dark or white meat, but I my go-to is the pulled white meat plate for an easy-to-eat meal. Their house barbecue sauce is great, with just a little sweetness. They have a wide variety of comfort food sides like broccoli-cauliflower casserole and sweet potato soufflé so a hearty veggie plate is always an option there. And if you like your cornbread on the sweeter side theirs is a good as you'll find anywhere. Space-wise they have a large indoor dining area as well as a patio for nicer days. They have a few TVs on the wall so it's a good spot if sports are on. Service is consistently friendly and food comes out quickly. Parking for the center they are in is often crowded, but additional spots are available up the hill. Give them a try the next time you're craving some chicken and I'll bet you'll be back again soon. read more

I've heard nothing but good things about Roasters which is why I'm a bit disappointed with my lunch experience. I'll get the good things out of the way first: the staff is friendly, the restaurant is clean and they filled my mobile order quickly. But the food I received made me not want to return. I ordered the soup and salad combo. Chicken and rice soup and a house salad with blue cheese dressing. The soup was ok. It did not taste fresh but more like the end of the pot. The broth was oily, the potatoes (unexpected in chicken soup) were all broken up and mushy, the chicken was dry and the ends were rubbery/crispy. I took a couple of bites and just couldn't finish it. It just tasted...old. The salad, the item I was REALLY looking forward to, had wilted lettuce and dirt was still present on most of it. I thought maybe it was just one or two pieces but nope, it was wilted all the way through. And the blue cheese dressing provided, in a pod similar to coffee creamer, had separated and was white cream on the bottom and a layer of oil on the top. Shaking it up didn't even make it better. I thought a bun or roll would have been provided with the meal as the pick-up window attendant asked me if I wanted butter. I guess it was just wishful thinking on my part but it would have been nice. Although my lunch was reasonable priced for the Buckhead area at around $13...I couldn't eat it. I may return in the future and try something they specialize in like rotisserie or chicken tenders but if you can't provide a basic soup/salad combo you should probably just remove it from the menu. read more

Food is always amazing with generous portion sizes. They have a nice selection of vegetables, and you definitely need some rolls and cornbread (ask for honey!). Service is always worth a smile, and every time we visit, we have multiple people check on our table. Place is clean, plenty of seating, and perfect for a lunch stop or dinner with family. read more

I go to Roaster's almost every time I'm in Atlanta; and it never disappoints! They specialize in chicken and salads; but also have turkey, ribs, and many other offerings. On my most recent visit I had the white chicken chili which was super thick and full of beans and white chicken chunks. It was really good! I also had a wedge salad which was fresh and flavorful.! My husband had the Mexican chicken breast; which was served over beans and rice. It was a huge portion and he really enjoyed it. The entree came with 2 additional sides and he chose the cornbread stuffing and the cole slaw. He especially liked the Cole slaw. My sister had the rotisserie chicken salad with all white meat. She gets it all the time and absolutely loved it. You really can't go wrong with Roaster's. Everything I've ever ordered is good. They also have fair prices and outstanding service. I'll be back! read more

This place is in a strip mall/shopping center. The parking lot is pretty small but I am usually able to find a parking spot. I ordered this food to go. Staff was very nice and friendly. Took less than 10 minutes for me to get my food. I got the 1/4 white rotisserie chicken, meatloaf, with broccoli casserole and mac. I also got an order of peach cobbler with roll and cornbread. This was way too much food to eat in one sitting so I tried a sampling of everything while it was hot. They gave the peach cobbler cold but offered to heat it up for me. The chicken tasted great and the bbq made it even better. Meatloaf doesn't look good but it tastes pretty good and the bbq sauce gives it a kick as well. The broccoli casserole is my favorite side with plenty of cheese. The mac is decent but not my favorite. The peach cobbler is also decent. I put the cornbread over the roll. read more

I used to go here about once a week, but lately I hesitate because the food has been inconsistent. Some days it's the best. Other days I wish I hadn't gone. The turkey which was a holiday meal there wasn't really even done. This wasn't at opening hours. Idk if that's because of different cooks or what. Cornbread is always best part of the meal. read more

I loved roasters. The food they have is solid comfort food that may put you to sleep lol. I had the white chicken chili (super filling), ribs, chicken tenders, loaded potato, and bread. Now it may sound odd to say bread...but they have these muffins without panties (that paper that muffins come in usually) and biscuits that are damn everything! The service was good. The last time that I went, we sat outside and they had a leak that was leaking on our table. Trying to convey what was happening to the manager was a little bit pointless because he kept looking at the pipe instead of moving our table, so we moved ourselves. But the waitstaff was super friendly and understanding, even when we had to shift seats all together. I wont take off for the whole pipe thing though, it can happen to anyone. The muffins and biscuits, they are not free like other restaurants, but they are so worth it. They come out warm and the butter spreads so easily, we ordered a few baskets of those (which probably led to us getting full lol). The chili I ordered I thought was going to be a small bowl, nope! It was huge and was probably the reason that I didnt finish my food! But thats okay. The Ribs were pretty flavorful and the chicken tenders were really good with that honey mustard. The potato needed extra sour cream but once I got that, it got devoured too. I want to try something else but I would have no issue getting what I got last time all over again. This spot is not the best food in the world but if you want good and solid comfort food, this one hits for me every time. Depending on what time of day you go, you will have to fight for parking though so just be aware of that (the brunch spot across the parking lot has a lot of traffic). This is a winner to me. read more

Good experience for a family meal; service catered well to children with a kids menu, and food was served fresh, hot and quickly. It's a mixed crowd on a Sunday evening, and we enjoyed bumping into friends who were dining too. We hadn't reserved or called ahead, but were seated quickly after the host pushed tables together to accommodate our group of 8. read more

Bland. Bland. Bland. Yuck!!! Food doesn't have salt, pepper or any other seasonings. White meat is dried out. Very disappointed.

My partner and I ordered the famous, slow-roasted rotisserie chicken (1/2 mix "Murph's Favorite" w cole slaw and sweet potato soufflé), BBQ baby back ribs (w cornbread stuffing and mac & cheese), and a side of chicken fingers - TASTE: 4/5 - the rotisserie chicken was alright, nothing crazy; the dark meat (and skin!) was definitely tastier than the white. The baby back ribs were nice, along w the complimentary cornbread. Fave sides included the seasoned cole slaw and sweet potato soufflé TEXTURE: 4/5 - highlight was definitely the chicken fingers! The breading was great, and the way it was fried was perfection PRICE: 4/5 - prices aren't bad for BBQ SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - good dinner portions, and took some leftovers home SERVICE: 4/5 - we arrived at 5pm on a Sunday and Roasters wasn't busy yet. Our waiter was helpful and patient w the menu and our order ATMOSPHERE: 3/5 - low-key, country-style space PARKING: 5/5 - we found parking toward the back of Lenox Village plaza read more

So I finally tried Roasters and have to say it's pretty damn good home cooked meals. When I have my lazy days but want something good I usually lean towards Boston Market style food. Not sure what Boston Market is doing but they have butchered their menu even more regarding sides and now I've discovered Roasters because of it. For about 20-$30 you can get a menu of appetizers to choose from, 2 entrees and 2 sides with a soup. The day I ordered I opted for a spinach dip, chicken and rice soup, an order of tenders and a qtr chicken with mashed potatoes and spinach. The food was healthy, filling and delicious! This is my new spot for quick wholesome meals. The tenders are probably some of the best I've had and aren't covered in a thick crunchy batter. They have a batter but offer more chicken and not overly salted. The dipping sauces that come with them are delicious as well. read more

I was craving a baked potato tonight and decided to search for restaurants nearby that would get the job done. I selected the "chicken plate 2 veg" with homemade bbq, loaded baked potato, and steamed broccoli from Roasters, via UberEats. With that said, I obviously can't speak on ambiance, but service seemed to pack my order up pretty quick which was great. Upon arrival, I was pleased with how nicely it was packaged, and the food looked appetizing. As for the food, which is the main reason you're reading the reviews, I'm sure, read on... The steamed broccoli tasted up to standard, but to my preference, could've been steamed just a tad longer. The loaded baked potato satisfied my craving. I squeezed the sour cream in it and mixed it all up. The bacon bits, green onion, and cheese added great flavor to the potato. I only wish that it was even more loaded. The toppings were a bit sparse and could've definitely used more, especially for a potato of this size. Sadly, the chicken was my least favorite item in the bunch. One bite I took had either a tendon or a small bone in it. It freaked me out, so I spit it out and didn't investigate further. From then on, I was careful with my bites. Unfortunately, the meat itself tasted completely seasonless. If it wasn't for the average quality bbq sauce that I smothered extra of on top of it, I probably wouldn't have eaten it. Overall, my meal was just okay. If I'm in the mood for a baked potato again (which is hardly ever, for me, as I usually crave potato in other forms such as tater tots, hash browns, mashed, French fries, etc.), I'd consider ordering from here again. Otherwise, I probably won't, if I'm being honest. Perhaps I just made the wrong protein choice. The chicken tenders looked good, so I may give it another chance and try those. We'll see! read more

The Buckhead location needs a major renovation. Our food was ok and our waiter was great!

The ribs were really tender and fell off the bone but the meat itself lacked a bit of seasoning. Just felt mostly like a rack of ribs smothered in barbecue sauce you'd get from the store. Pulled pork was okay, a bit too sweet but not that bad. Sides were very decent as well. Service was quick and staff was very friendly & nice. Probably would not go back here again as I'm sure there are better barbecue spots in the area. read more

Was on a date with my boyfriend and had reservations for another nearby restaurant before we were scheduled to go to the Georgia Aquarium. We waited over half an hour for the other restaurant and still were not sat down yet. After deliberating, we decided to go to roasters which was within the same plaza. When we walked in it smelled absolutely delicious. We were then immediately sat down to order. Our waitress greeted us as she approached us with water. She took our drink orders and once delivered she took our food order. I ordered some wine and my date a beer. Drinks were good. No cocktails, just your standard beer and wine, which were enjoyed. We both ordered the combo plate and selected the roasted chicken, ribs, creamed spinach and Mac n cheese. All the food was tasty, fresh and served hot. Our waitress Dulce was great she was quick and through. She made sure she checked on us regularly and gave menu suggestions as needed. Overall a great experience. I'll be sure to return one day. read more

For a while I had been getting takeout so I haven't noticed a decline. But then I brought in a group of coworkers end of Sept 2024 to introduce them to Roasters and I was really embarrassed. The restaurant needed a deep clean. It's been around forever and I don't mind worn. But there was a layer of grime on all the condiments on the table and the little crate they are stored in. Everything in the place in the area we were sitting that wasn't a tabletop needed a deep clean. I was really grossed out and disappointed. I don't mind shabby or worn, but shabby and worn can still be clean. And for years it was, but not on that trip. I guess it's possible just the area we were in had been neglected and the entire restaurant wasn't like that - I didn't investigate. But either way, I was embarrassed that I had talked the place up and brought in a group. I haven't been back since but it made me so sad because Roasters has been a favorite of mine for so long. I'd love to go back but every time I want to I think about that trip and it stops me. read more

They do offer bras for 50 cents each (rolls and cornbread). The meatloaf was my favorite! read more

Looking for a chill outdoor lunch spot this summer? Stop by Roasters, conveniently located down the street from Lenox Square Mall. Roasters is a quaint, tucked away eatery for those looking to keep it light mid-day. The vibe is casual with indoor seating and a cute covered patio for comfortable outdoor seating. Carlos was an amazing server, he gave great suggestions, such as the spinach queso dip! My meal was fresh and warm upon arriving to the table, and everything came out in a timely manner. The Fruit Medley Chicken Salad is delicious, and gives you the boost of energy you need to push through the day. Free parking located at the front, prices are reasonable. Enjoy y'all! read more

We were in the area Sunday afternoon at Lenox mall and decided to grab lunch here because it was nearby. My husband is a regular here since it's near his office. I don't remember coming before but he assures me I did. When we pulled into the plaza I was concerned when I saw how crowded it was. Then I realized it was located across the parking lot from Toast on Lenox and it was still brunch time so not great timing on our part. Luckily for us our choice was not so crowded. They offered dining inside or outside and I chose outside since the weather was unseasonably warm. Also the inside looked as if it's seen better days. The outside was actually enclosed and they didn't have the vinyl panels open so no fresh air. But we were the only ones on the patio so still not bad. Our waiter was on point from start to finish, bringing things before we could even ask like a to-go container and bag. My husband knew what he wanted right away, rotisserie chicken ($13/half chicken comes with 2 sides). But before that he insisted that we order bread, rolls and cornbread. Once it arrived I could see why. They were served warm with butter and were very good. Apparently they used to be complimentary but are now .50¢ each. Worth it. I went with the fried chicken lunch special ($17/four pieces {leg, wing, breast, thigh} and two sides). The order came out quick almost like fast food speed. The chicken was hot temperature wise and had good flavor. The sides were pretty good but not as hot. We finished with peach cobbler ala mode and it did not disappoint. Good food, great service and we were in and out in no time. read more

We ordered takeout which included three Caesar salads. I called to ask if they could add two additional Caesar dressings and was told they charge for each dressing so should have ordered the additional sauces. They do not have an option for additional dressings on any of their takeout apps and when I explained that I was told I should've purchased an order of cornbread to cover what they charge for dressings and then called them. This seems pretty dumb and not sure how I would've known to do that? How about you just add an option to purchase additional dressings/sauces? read more

Customer service is terrible. They're a chicken finger place and they never include the sauces on to go orders which may seem like a small thing but it's every time. I've called asking that they make sure to include the sauces and get treated like I'm inconveniencing them. Just not friendly and doesn't do the small things right. If they were nice about it then I may let it slide because I never write reviews but they're rude. Do the small things right, include sauces, or stop being a chicken finger place read more

Came for a quick snack and desert. And able to sit outside to enjoy the fresh air. The bowl of black bean soup was a nice comfort food, and had a nice thick texture. I thought the pork might overpower the rest of the soup or make it heavy so I was pleasantly surprised when it seemed to take a back seat to the black beans. The homemade cobbler was extremely hot, in fact too hot so I had to let it sit for several minutes even though there was ice cream on top. There was a nice blend of cinnamon to the sugar on top, the way a peach cobbler should be. Overall a nice spot to stop and try. read more

This restaurant at best deserves 2 stars. One star is for the prompt and pleasant service. My granddaughter and I stopped in for dinner on a Wednesday night. My granddaughter ordered the cheese dip, a cheeseburger and, for dessert, vanilla ice cream. She didn't complain, but I could see that she finished off only the ice cream. I ordered the grilled chicken breast, the cauliflower/broccoli casserole, mac-n-cheese, and fried okra. The chicken had the weirdest sauce ever - I can't even describe it - but it was not edible. The casserole was a lumpy mess, covered with way too much cheese. The fried okra was greasy - they really need to change the oil more often in their deep fryers. The mac-n-cheese was just alright. This place is not recommended. read more

I came back home this weekend for the first time in years, and one of my best friends took me to this restaurant at the last minute. When we arrived, they were starting to.

The food was Prepared excellent and you could tell it was not rushed and the presentation was awesome. Even our waiter was very tentative and did not rush us at all. Thank you guys for the experience I had at your restaurant and trust and believe that every time I come back in town to visit family and friends, I will always.
