We ate lunch here today on their lovely patio and loved the food! My Philly steak sandwich on a ciabatta roll was chock full of well seasoned roast beef, onions, red bell peppers & melted cheese & came with a kosher pickle spear and a generous serving of kettle cooked potato chips. We shared an order of giant crispy onion rings with a side of ranch dressing for dipping, My hubby had a yummy chicken wrap which he devoured & washed it down with a local beer on draft. Lots of parking in a lovely newer developed retail center just around the corner from the SM Airport. A definite return visit for us! read more

Stopped for gas in Santa Maria and decided to find something nearby. The Roost really fit the bill! I ordered their hot pastrami sandwich and it really hit the spot.... pastrami was flavorful and not fatty, bread was toasted nicely and the sauarkraut was the perfect compliment to the sandwich. Employees were welcoming and helpful describing the options. The indoor seating area is nice, but it was so nice outside that I chose to dine on the patio. I loved it at The Roost, and would definitely return next time I'm in the area. read more

Plenty of tables indoors and outside to enjoy the offerings. I ordered a turkey club, which upon presentation I was not sure if I was supposed to take it home and make it a centerpiece or eat it: It was that damn good looking of a sandwich. Food: It was my first visit here and I went with the turkey club. Not only was the construction executed flawlessly, but it was one of the best I have ever had. This is a top #3 ever for me! #1 was in Maui, #2 was at a since shuttered place in Lincolnwood, Illinois (Jacks) putting this one at a solid #3! It was a massive portion and I could only finish 1/2 of it, leaving the other to enjoy for breakfast the next day. Service: Three different folks here checked on me and asked how the food was. Mind you this is not a full service restaurant, but every employee seems focused and truly set on making sure customers are happy. Overall: I wish I lived close by, as this would be a place I see coming back time and time again. All the best to Roost! read more

Friendly staff and quick service. Small place but clean and very lit up. I had the ahi tuna salad and it was great. Nothing fancy just good, fresh, ingredients. Prices are on par with most places. I enjoyed my meal and would come back for a sandwich. I wouldn't say it's a must go place but if you're in the area then try them out! read more

Very decent sandwich spot in town. My favorite was the muffuletta, loaded with deli meat and a great sauce. The salad was great as well. Indoor was clean and plenty of outdoor seating as well. Service was quick and staff is very friendly. I would definitely come back. read more

Randomly walked in here the other day and we were glad we did. The staff was extremely friendly when we walked in and greeted us immediately, along with the chef/cook in the back asking us if we needed help with the menu. Ordering was as easy as it gets, place, very clean and tidy. We went with the Turkey Club, Philly cheesesteak (which i never order,wild hair) and a side of fries. Turkey club was MASSIVE, packed with flavor and my finance got through Half before tapping out (low key my favorite part, i get the leftovers) The Philly cheesesteak (which i mentioned, i never order) was smaller than i expected. Ate with my eyes first and was disappointed ......until......i had a bite. It was fuckin amazing, perfectly seasoned and the cheese was just enough for it to compliment the meat. Mid meal we had the chef/owner come up to the table to see how we were doing. Really good to feel welcome in a restaurant we were new to, even tho we're born and raised here it felt nice to be welcomed and to FEEL welcomed. Now, imma fry guy. A place is made or broken by a fry. I've never had a fry FRIED as perfectly as these. I enjoys a crunchy exterior with that soft potatoey cloud of an interior and they hit the mark. I'm coming back just for these. We look forward to the next visit. read more

This place is aesthetically pleasing and the service was friendly. You order at the counter and then take a number to your table. The Cobb salad was beautifully presented and delicious. The gumbo was really overly salted which was the reason to the four stars instead of five. I would not order the gumbo again. However, all the sandwiches coming out of the kitchen looked wonderful! read more

I absolutely love this place. I have not been in to the brick and water, but I always order for delivery. I have gotten a variety of things from their deli salads, main salads, turkey sandwich, they're delicious mac & cheese and fries. Everything has been full of flavor and delicious. I can't wait to actually stop into the brick and mortar restaurant. Very happy this place came to town. read more

I'm disappointed in myself for not taking pictures when the food arrived. Delicious all of it, just Devine!! Brussel sprouts, onion rings, Hot Pastrami, hamburgers. Almost forgot about the tuna salad to go, And pulled pork sandwich .We enjoyed the atmosphere, total chill vibe very inviting. The owners (assuming) came out to the table and chatted with us. We had my partners parents with us for an early diner. They both are 90 years old, and prefer well lit, quiet atmosphere. We ended up closing the place down. Thank you for your patience and understanding. We will most definitely be back !! read more

Recently discovered Roost and was so excited to try a new lunch spot! Super easy parking and their space feels really bright and welcoming. We were immediately greeted and placed our order. Decided to try the hot chicken sando and the roost chicken sando. I am a huge fan of Brie and this sandwich delivered. Highly recommend. The hot chicken sando was so delicious too- the chicken was crispy and each dish came served with chips and a pickle. I really like this place! We will definitely be back. read more

Roost Deli - Pulled pork sandwich. - Salad Near Me - Santa Maria, California

Nice, clean location, friendly staff. Had heard good reviews and wanted to give it a try and support local. However, it was a let down for me. The food was Okay, Tri tip wrap was dry and bland. Maybe if it had more flavor and a signature bbq sauce it would come together, but was not the case. We also purchased a hot chicken sandwich, meh, no spicy sauce to go with it, only a bland sirracha mayo sauce? that didn't enhance the flavor of the sandwich unfortunately. Both came with a small small handful portion of kettle chips. All in all, maybe would try again but not anytime soon. read more

Delicious hot pastrami sandwich and chicken parm sandwich. Very nice and friendly staff. Definitely will go back.

This place is over priced. I ordered the tritip sandwich and a turkey sandwich. The tri-tip sandwich was not good, tri-tip was overcooked, I don't think I will be returning read more

Was so looking forward to enjoying a quick lunch here. Had heard so many things about this place. When we walked In up to the counter, we were ignored for a solid two minutes. Ignored that do to lack of training. We decided to share the Philly cheesesteak and a medium order of potato salad. The sandwich came out fresh and hot, but was so salty we could not eat it without drinking a gallon of water. And the potato salad was underwhelming, especially at the price of $12 for a half a pound of potato salad. When we commented to the person at the counter about the quality of our food, we were confronted with less than desirable results. We did not want a refund of any sort, but thought that our constructive criticism would be met with more concern. Too many other opportunities right there at the same center to enjoy your meal to even think about coming back here again. read more

We had the muffaletta and the Philly cheesesteak to go and both were so salty that we struggled to finish even half of each sandwich and ended up throwing the rest away. I wouldn't recommend them unless you enjoy an overwhelmingly salty sandwich. read more

We really like going here. The staff have always been super friendly and the food is great. Specifically we all love the chicken parm sandwich. Great flavors and a seriously good sized sandwich. Sides are also great, but gumbo is fantastic. Not a ton of indoor seating but there is a good sized area outside. We visit at least once a week. read more

The food and service especially service was outstanding! For a walk up counter order place they do not skimp on service at all! At 3 pm they got busy and I'm so happy with my stop in for the first time and I will be back! read more

Came here today for lunch after hearing a good review from my coworker, as well as seeing a food reviewer say it was a nice place! People working there were friendly, nice vibe inside. I ordered the chicken parm and patiently waited, then patiently waited some more. I noticed food taking a long time to come out and the employees bringing the food out apologizing about the long wait times even though it was not very busy in there. Luckily, I am a patient guy, after waiting probably a good 25 minutes I finally get my food. Presentation looked great, minus the 5 chips they give you, that was pretty off putting. It was like they poured the chips out of a bag and it was at the end of the bag and I only got several of them. I couldn't wait to get into the sandwich and first couple of bites were not bad! After that I noticed that the sandwich was extremely salty, and I like salt! But this was next level. I love chicken parm sandwiches and never have had an issue with them being super salty, as it just should not be that way. Of course I finished it all because I paid for it. The last couple bites it just tasted as if I was eating a salt sandwich. It was like whoever made the sandwich dumped the whole salt shaker on it by accident and was like, "This is fine." I do not understand who would try this sandwich and want to eat it again, unless you had a salt addiction. I may come back to try something else, but after tasting salt in my mouth all day and drinking a ton of water, I may not. Cannot reccommend this place off my initial experience. read more

Food was PHENOMENAL & Service was even better ! I told my friend I was in the mood for a sandwich and this place did NOT disappoint ! They do have many different good choices for drinks , and a small ice cream bar selection ! Outside seating too that is a plus . read more

Came in for a late lunch and ordered the chicken sandwich. From the moment I opened my to go box I knew it was going to be good. The smell of dill pickle caught my senses, crunchy potato chips sprinkled around the box and the main event the chicken sandwich. Best chicken sandwich I've ever had and I consider myself a food snob. It better be good or I won't waste my money and calories. I'll be back, already craving the taste of another! read more

The food was good. Service was good. There was inside or outside seating. Everything but the value. I ordered a hot pastrami sandwich with chips and a drink. My daughter ordered a roasted turkey sandwich off their build your own. Both were good. But the amount of chips they gave you, wasn't even a bag of chips. Not worth the $17+ dollars for the hot pastrami sandwich. read more

Went to Roost for the second time today and just like my first visit, our food was fantastic. The cheese steak sandwich is a very tasty blend of perfectly seasoned beef and cheese on delicious bread. I have also had the Roost Chicken Sando and holy smokes, it was great. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the veges were great but I think the pesto aioli is what takes this sandwich to another level. Nice job, Roost! read more

Great sandwich place with friendly, attentive service. There are many great sandwiches to choose from, or you can customize your own. Large portions. Definitely worth checking out if you enjoy sandwiches and supporting local establishments instead of chain eateries. The environment is spacious, and I like that they had good music on that was loud enough to enjoy but not so loud as to drown out conversations. Will come back to next time we are in the area :-) read more

Super good food. Nothing beats a fresh deli sandwich packed full of good stuff. Excited to go back!

Good selection, fast preparation and fair pricing. Staff was friendly and helpful. Patio was quiet and comfortable.

Great sandwiches. Lots of options. The sourdough bread is amazing, but I don't love their their Dutch crunch.

Amazing lunch spot! Great food, atmosphere and what a team. I knows its a sandwich but is AN AWESOME SANDWICH! Cant's wait to work my way thru the menu when I'm back in Santa Maria. Cool vibe, music and community patio too read more

Not really a deli. Food was pretty good but not great. Staff was very nice but handled meat with their bare hands- no gloves. Ew. Would not return due to sanitary procedures which were sketchy. read more
