The food was amazing. Staff was friendly and had great suggestions since we hadn't been there before. They had a pet friendly eating area outside with water bowls (we had brought our own, but appreciated the gesture). We would definitely eat there again if back in the area. read more

We come here for one reason mostly, the chicken and waffles. Crispy, fluffy, sweet, and salty perfection. I've tried to order other things, but why mess with greatness? Service is quick and friendly. The space is open and clean with outdoor seating as well. read more

Had to stop and try here as we were driving down past and saw it was on Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives! It didn't disappoint. We had chicken tenders, deviled eggs, macaroni, and mashed potatoes and tried the house comeback sauce, and honey mustard. All was served so fresh, warm and so tasty!!!! The service was so good the lady the checked us out was so kind! Prices were reasonable and portions were large. We would definitely return as we left stuffed and happy! Yum! read more

Fast, friendly and delicious . Would be a fun place to visit on the patio when it's not snowing. Chicken was tender and waffles were fluffy. My husband really enjoyed the Nashville hot chicken sandwich as well. From Southern California, we are hot chicken connoisseurs, and this hit the spot. read more

Went here a few years ago and have been craving it ever since! I almost re-routed out of my way on my way home from a trip to Montana to go here but recognized it wasn't reasonable. Delicious chicken, delicious waffles, delicious Mac and cheese bites, great drink options. Friendly staff and plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. I can't wait to go back read more

We have this little thing where we like as foodies to try as many Guy Fieri Diner's Drive In's and Dive's adventures. Relying on fellow Yelp reviews, we happened to stumble across Roost Fried Chicken unbeknownst at first that it happened to be a triple D visit on season 29 episode 2. We were pleasantly surprised and if given the opportunity, we definitely will visit again. Service was great and food was terrific. We had a (1/2 a bucket) 4 piece classic fried chicken meal with double collard greens, because if you know me, I'm a green fanatic. We also got the Alabama Sammy with extra pickles with a side of Mac & cheese. The Alabama had a nicely grilled bun on both sides which gave a nice crunch as you took a bite. It was like a heavenly creamy chicken salad sandwich without fruit or nuts. The pickle slices added a nice tang and the white sauce had a bit of pleasant heat at the end. The Mac & cheese sadly was rather plain and dry. Maybe just an off day for it. Now back to the stars of the show. The chicken was so moist, flavorful and delicious, we regretted only getting a 4 piece. My hubby was sympathetic to me eyeing him devouring his chicken, so he shared a leg with me. Now let m tell you, I'm one to get picked on for "not knowing how to properly pick a chicken bone clean." I'm pretty sure not a shred of any chicken remnants were left on that leg bone. Really THAT delicious! And the collard greens....perfectly seasoned (I love heavy handed course ground black pepper and it certainly was.) Now, if only Roost Fried Chicken can hook a sister up and do some overnight delivery I'd be ecstatic. And lastly, try their homemade hand squeezed fresh lemonade served in a mason jar. Refreshing and the perfect accompaniment to our meal. They also served freshly brewed unsweetened as well as southern sweet tea. They do have a nice outside patio with several tables and chairs to visit and make new friends. Tables are inside as well but we went on a gorgeous day and several patrons chose the outside seating option. read more

Everything was hot and fresh. They have fried green tomatoes right now and they are the bomb. The chicken tenders were hot and tender and the fries were fresh. The chicken sandwich had just the right amount of sweet and salty with the slaw. Would eat here again! read more

Roost Fried Chicken - Fried green tomatoes - Southern Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

Not the best chicken I have had and definitely not the best service. The first time I came to Bozeman was 2020 and I came back in 2023 and the town is booming. Over tourism has definitely caused sub par eateries. The chicken I got tasted like it has been sitting there awhile, fries were cold and soda was flat. Not a good combination. The star of the show was the biscuit that came with my meal. Parking was hectic as it is a small lot and limited seating instead as well. Located on a Main Street in Bozeman. When in the area, I probably wouldn't go back. Super chix in town is good. Make the drive to Whitehall and check out two bit saloon for good chicken! read more

Stopped in for a late lunch while driving through town. Had the Carolina BBQ sandwich (a hearty piece of chicken with a wonderful coating and the sauce was wonderfully tangy and went well with the coleslaw) and the chicken strips (perfectly cooked, juicy and tender with a nice, crunchy coating). The folks were so polite and there was a perfect spot to sit outside with our dog. read more

Really tasty! I got the sweet heat fried chicken with a side of collard greens and Mac & cheese. The Mac wasn't too flavorful, but the collard greens and chicken were wonderful. The sweet heat is perfectly spicy and the chicken was juicy. Next time I want to try their Nashville hot sandwich! They also have a dog friendly patio which was a huge plus. read more

Roost Fried Chicken - Southern Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

We live in Belgrade and we're excited to try this restaurant because you can't find very many good chicken places in Belgrade or Bozeman Montana. We were really excited first off. We had to wait a 40 min because they said they had shortstaffed. We ordered the original chicken and they said it would take longer which it did take an abundance time. There were a bunch of young girls there and all they did was talk and gossip the whole time super loud when they finally called my order up they said that I could have another side. I ordered the half bucket I had got okra, which was cold and day old tasting. The Coleslaw, which had so much mayonnaise in it, it was like soup and then my Free one, because they took so long was, potatoes and gravy. That was the only thing in the whole meal that was worth eating. The chicken was so greasy tasted truly disgusting. I really think that this place might have it going at times but it sure wasn't the time we went which was Tuesday, December 9 approximately 530. read more

Ive tried to contact the store multiple times and I never receive an answer, I can't leave a message because the mail box is full. This is the 3rd time now i've ordered pick up from this place and told all items were in the bag and I was missing multiple. I have tried to like this place but it seems everytime they're in a rush. I'd recommend you open your bags before you leave especially when you're paying for them read more

After a great movie, I was looking for a nice chicken salad. Found The Roost and they weren't far away. They have a nice little parking lot for you to park and quickly get in and out. Be mindful that other businesses share the space. Be sure to park in the correct area. Signage is up for you to obey I was immediately greeted and acknowledged and the cashier let me know they would be right with me. I ordered and collected my letter. Shortly afterwards someone brought my food over to where I was waiting. Plenty of seating inside for small groups. Larger groups may want to order to go! The salad was presented very well. The bacon was generous!!!! And I love bacon. The chicken was crisp and coating tasty. The dressing delicious.The flavors combined made for an amazing lunch! Would definitely be a go to for great meaty salads ( or no meat if you're vegetarian) read more

We hadn't been in Bozeman more than 34 minutes and I thought to myself, I bet Guy Fieri has been to this place. I was right, and noticed he had done a whole episode here. The other spot looks small and better for breakfast, but my wife and I immediately raced over to Roost fried chicken before they closed on a Monday evening. So glad we did, because the chicken here is amazing. There weren't many sides that I love, but that worked out in our favor because, while I don't usually eat mac & cheese, this little bowl of heaven was eaten clean by yours truly, especially with the green onions and bacon mixed in. They even included 1 piece of okra on the platter and I tried that for the first time. Let me tell you, I might've made a mistake, not to have gotten those things fried, rather than the fries, which is kind of too familiar as you might imagine. read more

Roost fried chicken made me wanna jump on the table and Cock-A-Doodle-Doo! Best den chicken west of the Mississippi! Had to fly into Bozeman before hitting Yellowstone so we dropped in for a bite. The kind lady took our order and handed us metal number for our chow. As we waited on the outdoor patio we soaked up the southern decor and even the Guy Triple D dude decorated pan which made me laugh. This place so good it didn't need that punk in the building. Our meals arrived and we gobbled don't chicken ( drumsticks for FRANK B ) coleslaw and homemade biscuits. And to wash my meal down I slurped the most southern of drink a Dr Pepper! Needless to say we LOVED this joint. Moist fried chicken to start off our trip was satisfying and warranted after our early wake up to fly out. But we need one dining experience wasn't enough so we hit it for a encore on the way back from Yellowstone! Folks if you need that southern home cooking well if you find yourself in Montana make sure you bookmark this a highlight to enjoy! Frank B over and out from Montana! read more

Casual yummy spot for fried chicken, and we ordered the 8 strips meal with coleslaw and mac n cheese, with a couple biscuits. Chicken pieces were large and juicy inside, light crispy exterior, good flavors. Coleslaw was okay, mac n cheese was good though the green onion threw me off a bit. read more

Roost Fried Chicken - 8 classic strips meal with coleslaw and mac n cheese - Southern Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

Best chicken in Bozeman, but not the best I've had in Montana. If it weren't for the chicken being so fantastic I'd have left 3 stars. Took twice as long to get my order as it was supposed to (50 minutes total). The staff was apologetic and polite about it. After I got my food I wished I had just gotten chicken. The fries weren't that great, and the Mac and cheese tasted unseasoned. I'll give the collard greens a chance next time. Alabama white sauce and Carolina gold were delicious, the Nashville hot was surprisingly authentic. Overall, a cozy little spot to hang out and get some fried chicken. read more

It is counter service I understand it's hard get help, The young man taking my order was very helpful, I wanted two thighs and two legs with mashed potatoes as combo he said he couldn't do that,but did it ala carte it was actually cheaper My wife and I have been on a 3,000 mile road trip hands down the best bite we've had the chicken was juicy and crispy some of the best fried chicken I've ever eaten and the mashed potatoes awesome. A very clean restaurant has homey feeling. Thanks for the experience Roost. read more

Some questionable service and delayed/cold food put a bit of a stinker on the situation. Portion sizes seemed inconsistent. But there were really bright spots here. The dark meat, mac, and mashed, were all standouts and clearly why this place has a following. read more

This review was really more for those who are ordering takeout. While I've had some good experiences here when I'm dining in, my experiences when I'm taking food back not so good. They put the food in Styrofoam packaging and the problem with is that the heat from inside the package has no way to escape, and therefore the resulting steam inside makes the chicken soggy and you lose the expected crispness. The other issue I have with roosters is that the last couple times I've ordered to go is that they never seem to get the order right. For example, I today ordered a two- piece chicken and asked for one breast and one thigh. I got one breast but one leg. Also, I've mentioned before there are no napkins no utensils so if you're staying in hotel, you have to borrow some from the front desk or figure out how you can eat this food with your fingers. My recommendation is eat there and don't take the food back to your hotel or home; or, open up your containers so that the heat can escape a little bit and not steam the food within the package. read more

Whenever we travel somewhere, if there is a DDD location near by, we are sure to check em out. This was the case with Roost Fried Chicken. We ordered a bucket of chicken with sides of fries, coleslaw and a biscuit. We also ordered a few of their sauces. The fries and slaw were just alright. Usually I am a big fan of most french fries however these were just ok. The no questioned star of the show was that fried chicken. Easily some of the best fried chicken that we have ever had! The chicken was crispy. Each piece was juicy including the white meat. I would not be surprised if they brine their chicken. What made it even better was how flavorful that chicken was. The chicken was seasoned perfectly. This was not just fried chicken, it was well seasoned and juicy fried chicken. Tasted like garlic and paprika and maybe some onion. Really some excellent fried chicken. If we have the opportunity to go back, we would skip the sides and just order chicken and their fresh squeezed lemonade. We ordered a couple glasses of that lemonade and it was as good as I have had at any State Fair. Really refreshing. Excellent fried chicken and fresh squeezed lemonade, doesn't get any better than that. read more

Roost Fried Chicken - Excellent chicken. Biscuit was ok and the sauces were decent - Southern Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

Best chicken I've ever had. Passed the tenderism test. And that's a lot coming from me I'm a chicken connoisseur.

What can I say about Roost? The chicken is some of the best in town. I particularly love their Carolina Bqq sauce you can get with it. I'm also a huge fan of their salads! The service is always quick for how busy it can get and everyone is usually very friendly. Ambiance is fun, it can get a little hot inside during the summer months but all around a great place to grab lunch! read more

Roost was recommended and thought we'd give it a try rather than the various chains located close by. First impression is that the space is small. We visited during the first snow storm of the year and could tell there was a pretty large sized patio but in the winter, space is limited. Parking lot is also very small and shared with another spot across the lot. Upon entering the menu is printed large and in the wall so easy to decide while waiting in line. There is one register and a pretty steady flow of traffic. After we placed our order we grabbed a table and waited about 15 min for our freshly made fritters, popcorn chicken bowl and chicken and waffles. Fritters we're good but the sauce, sweet heat, was recommended as a 5/10 spiciness and I would say was more like an 8! We quickly opted out of using the sauce. Unfortunately they needed "something" so wouldn't get them again. The popper bowl was not a bowl at all but rather just popcorn chicken on top of a pretty sparse plate of fries. We went with Carolina gold sauce and it was a delicious sauce. Overall a solid choice but not a bowl and not a lot of food for $10. Chicken and waffles were a highlight. Both were cooked perfectly and the pecan butter and maple syrup were great finishing touches. It is a pretty good size too and big enough to share with someone if you add a side or a starter. Overall, this spot wasn't a slam dunk but still pretty solid choice. I'd visit again but maybe when weather was nicer to guarantee more seating or just get it to go. read more

Did it meet the hype that DDD inspired? No, was it a solid chicken sandwich, yes. We got some sides to share and the fried deviled eggs are interesting! I am not sure I liked them but there is nothing wrong with them! I think the warm on something my brain says should be cold threw me off! I got the Sweet Heat and it was just that! A perfect blend of sweet and a great kick. We all enjoyed the sandwiches, chicken could be a little more moist, but it was good. The price is a little much and added up quickly when we wanted to get a lemonade which was a lot and we added the fried okra and eggs. Overall if you are wanting a solid fried chicken sand it is good. Really nice patio and perfect weather for it! Food came out quick. read more

I've been there before, I remember it being a lot better then. By the time I got home it seemed to accumulate grease on the side lying down.

The food here is fabulous! We split the fried chicken salad which was huge! The chicken was really amazing. It was juicy and not dry. And we split a side of fries which came out hot. If you like tart, try the fresh home made lemonade. And the biscuits are yummy too! The staff was super friendly and answered all our questions. They have an indoor and cute outdoor sitting area. Of course the view of the mountains are a plus! I hope to come again! read more

Solid fried chicken sandwich and mac & cheese. Fried pickles were sliced and had a perfect pickle-to-breading ratio, but a bit too much seasoning sprinkled on top. Next time, I'd get without the seasoning. Sauce served with pickles had just the right amount of zing. Service was great and building has an eclectic vibe with indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Food was good. The chicken is crispy and the sauces are delicious. I really like the slaw. Service took it down a star. I was eating outside and my food came- I asked if I could have a fork- the waitress told me where to find the forks inside. If they are delivering food for outside service- include tableware. read more
