Rotisserie Chicken Salad (All White Meat) w/1000 island dressing
Lisa T.

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!

House Salad with croutons, cucumber and tomato (with soup combo) -both soup and salad were inedible.

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.

Peach cobbler
Kevin W.

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.

White Chicken Chili
Kien H.

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.

Side of chicken fingers, and the famous, slow-roasted rotisserie chicken (1/2 mix "Murph's Favorite" w cole slaw and sweet potato soufflé)
Alyanna T.

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

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.

Chicken Plate 2 VEG : bbq sauce, steamed broccoli & loaded baked potato
Kyja W.

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!

Update-Took my wife here again still great food!Service! and ambiance. I had turkey and dressing with sweet potato soufflé and broccoli-cauliflower casserole. Very good! Bread was hot and filling.

Pulled pork, half rack of 1/2 Rack BBQ Ribs & sides
Kevin W.

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.

Creamed Spinach
LaShawnda G.

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.

Solid meat and three! Everything was tasty and hot. One tip: don't get delivery. By the time it gets to you it's going to be soggy.

I love fried chicken (who doesn't?) but typically find other breading to be bland and oily and I usually pull it off to get to the juicy meat...but not at Delilah's. It was the perfect combination of crunchy and flavorful and I was sure to gobble up any small bit that fell on my plate. The collard greens are also incredible. Not too salty not too saturated. Just perfect. I think I'm going to order a take home portion for holiday dinners at home because I can't make them better than this! The service and personal experience was off the charts and exactly what southern hospitality is all about. My husband and I chatted with Jason, the owner, during our entire meal and learned so many cool things about their family and Delilah's story. I will be going back again and again and again. Definitely plan to take out of towners that are eager to find good authentic soul food.

The biggest disappointment was the service. Our hostess seemed completely disorganized, repeatedly forgot parts of our order, and somehow ended up charging me for both my meal and someone else's. The lack of attention and organization was frustrating, especially considering the prices. This restaurant has potential, but management really needs to take a closer look at staffing, training, and overall customer service. With better leadership and more attentive employees, I believe the experience could improve significantly. I might consider giving it another chance, but based on this visit, I can't say it was worth the money. I expected much better.

Showed up on a Saturday afternoon for a brunch date and the place was packed. That's usually both a…read morered and green (brown? lol) flag for me, but the space is huge - indoor and outdoor seating - so putting our names down only resulted in a 20 minute wait. Entirely manageable. Started off with the Tropic Like It's Hot mocktail (pineapple, orange juice, coconut water cream). Pretty tasty, crisp, and refreshing. Then came the cornbread muffins with the "liquid gold" spun honey. Unbelievable. Hot, crumbly, and easily the best thing on the table. Whoever is running the pastry program in the back understands pure physics. I could've eaten a dozen of those alone. For the entree, I got the Spiced Maple Chicken & Grits - fried chicken tossed in maple hot sauce, grits, two eggs, benton's bacon, and scallions - along with a side biscuit and jam. Complete hit. The chicken had a great crunch, the heat-to-sweet ratio was locked in, and the grits were smooth. Biscuit was flaky and proper, too. Bottom line: Buttermilk Kitchen executes at a high level even when swamped. Just don't skip the cornbread. I'll definitely be back.

I came earlier this year for the first time and had the warmest waitress, Lindsey. She was so…read morepleasant and friendly. She even told me that I couldn't leave without trying a biscuit and brought one complimentary. I would give that experience a 5 and I would give my last experience a 3 but let's just do an average. That's how I got four stars. This time, the service felt very different. Our waitress, Nekale, had a pleasant voice and was a beautiful woman, but she lacked warmth or friendliness. She definitely had the RBF going on. It felt like when someone says "I love you" with a stern face. Maybe something happened that day and she had an attitude, but if that's the case, don't interface with people on the floor. The girl brought lukewarm coffee, and my mom had to ask for fresh coffee. I was a little embarrassed because it was my mom's first time there and the service was blah. My mom said her grits were lukewarm, and so were my potatoes. She did not want to send them back because she was hungry, so she just ate them and did not say anything to me until she was almost done. Everything came out at a great time, and the presentation was amazing. It all looked very delicious. However, when I bit into my chicken biscuit, I got a lot of grease. In addition, I had asked if everything was an even swap, and she said yes, but when I paid, I saw an upcharge for my potatoes. All in all, I was very disappointed that the service was not as great as I experienced the first time. I was also disappointed that my food wasn't amazing. That said, I will still be back at some point.

She checked on us numerous times, didn't rush us and offered suggestions. She kept our table clear of mayhem from empty plates and glasses. Now the food was delicious. It was so good. The chicken was moist and the outside was crispy. The mashed potatoes melted in my mouth. Plus, we had a slice of 7up cake for dessert. I high recommend this place.

Their breads and jams are particularly delicious, but my absolute favorite--and the most pleasant surprise--was the fried green tomatoes with goat cheese. They were incredible!

My guests really enjoyed their orders, including the Springer Mountain chicken, Nashville bites, and the farm egg hash. Overall, it's a solid spot--clean and modern, with great baked goods and reliable service. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.
