Classic breakfast
Kenneth H.

WOW! First the customer service, off the charts. Explained the options, ways to save a little $, explained what they are doing differently.... The pride of ROOST pours out of Joe Then the food. I ordered the classic breakfast. Spot on and the potatoes stoled the show! Joe came over and gave me margarine for my toast and apologized because they typically have "real" butter. Delivery mix up. I write and blog on food in San Antonio.... Oh how I would be a regular if this ROOST was in San Antonio... Cool vibe. Thank you for refreshing customer service from everyone and a great breakfast.

The Plain pancake served as part of the senior plate for 10.00

The food was delicious we had a turkey sandwich bigger than my mouth and some pancakes.. the food was fresh. Joe is an asset to the business great personality. We had to go back for more. It's very clean..

Honestly nothing was worth writing home about. I wanted to like this place, especially since I live close by and I thought it looked good. The food was okay, but gnats kept landing on my niece's pancakes. While the restaurant looked nice, the booths were really stiff and hurt to sit on. Service was fine. Sorry! I sincerely wish I had something better to say. Maybe my expectations were too high?

Drink service within reach

Glad to find this place open for early breakfast, but right on the front door it says "Chicken Salad and Deli. So I had to imagine that they also had breakfast things, which they did. The breakfast croissant sandwich contained the normal stuff, but it's the best of that genre that I've ever eaten. Generous portions facilitated by a croissant made for that purpose--large and thin, it comes with ham, bacon, or sausage. A perfect breakfast for someone headed to one of the many medical destinations in the area--or anyone else, for that matter. Ambiance is clean and modern, and service is fast because you do it yourself.

Nice selection of sandwich's, breakfast or brunch! Onions are a must on an Italian sandwich and this one came without... I personally found that odd, and disappointing. I would like to see a vegetarian option of "chicken salad" made with chick-pea, or tofu for non chicken eaters. Just my thoughts. The one not so great - the trash can was directly below the drink stand where the lemons were open and exposed - that's a big NO (and I noticed in someone else's picture here on Yelp this was the case on that day too. That should NEVER happen. Good spot, might need a little more oversight of the younger staff to resolve where trash cans should be placed. Would likely swing by again if I was in the area.

Chicken Honey Walnut Chicken Salad
Erika M.

Great food and service. I recommend the walnut chicken salad and the apple grape salad if you like something sweet and the pasta salad side, it's so delicious!

2 eggs, bacon, and red potatoes

This was a great choice for breakfast! The food was great! And the staff was very friendly and patient with our large party. A great diner vibe.

Inside

I had a late lunch on my way from Austin. I heard good things about this restaurant. We ordered at the counter and our food was brought out to us. I had the egg salad sandwich with a side of grapes and strawberry salad. It also came with a pickle. You get to choose how you want your sandwich. You can have it toasted, griddled, on a salad or by itself. The combo also allows you to choose the side you would like with your sandwich . My mother got the senior special for those 60 and over. She got breakfast that included egg, sausage, potatoes, and a large pancake. Her order did come with a drink. She chose a coffee and we both thought the coffee was delicious. They have inside and outside seating. There Is plenty of space. Parking is located on site, but shared with some of the other businesses. The food came out quickly.L the staff members we interacted with were super nice as well.

French Toast
Justin F.

My family and I wanted to try out a new place in the area and we stumbled upon this awesome business. It was a new establishment and they had various food selections. Once we arrived, there was good amount of parking in the front and back of the business. It was clean and the employee was very kind and knowledgeable of the menu. He gave us the most popular items and the rundown of everything on the menu. I ended up ordering the 1/2 Rooster Sandwich. And my girlfriend ordered the French toast. I also got the broccoli salad as a side and my girlfriend ordered the fruit salad. Once the food arrived it looked amazing and the taste was just as good!!! They also had military discount so that was a plus! Overall, this place was amazing! Good price, great taste, and great ambiance! Will definitely be back again for other options!

In all honesty, I tried really hard to hate on this place. I've had plenty of tapas in Europe and…read morelarger metro American cities that have nailed the concept. When I saw the mechanic shop conversion and industrial interior I got worried. The staff seemed a bit overwhelmed and a tad unprepared for shift opening. HOWEVER, I am always open to being proved wrong, which I was. The food was amazing and the staff was able to handle the five of us, three being boomers who had questions about EVERYTHING, but we love them, haha. The staff handled us with grace. When they didn't know the answer to the million questions we had they got it for us from the kitchen staff or manager. Zero pretension. All the kindness. I can't remember what we ordered; we ordered at least half the menu. Every single dish was amazing. We will for sure be back sans boomers for many date nights to come.

Been here quite a few times and I love the whole vibe and ambiance of this place, especially with…read morethe history this spot does have with the NB locals. The waitstaff is wonderful and everyone is so nice. I get the same dishes every single time because I know they are very good...the hummus and their bread is amazing! Caesar is also super good every time. We love getting the meatballs and the shrimp dish...the shrimp one is probably my favorite item on the menu. I don't even love wine but the wines I have had there are great! The only cons I do have to say are I wish the menu had more options or when there are specials it's more than one day before they sell out. I LOVE tiramisu and that's the one dessert they do have but I've only been able to order it once because every other time they are sold out and I understand you run out but then there needs to be a second or third option to choose from. I look forward to ordering the tiramisu every time and I haven't been able to in months because they never have it. This is one of my go to places when I do eat out here and I'm happy with getting the same dishes over and over because they are good but I am interested and excited to see what else they add to the menu in the future!!

We…read moreeach had the strawberry champagne margarita and it was so delicious, not over sweet, a packed a punch! We intended to have 2 each but had to stick with one in order to function afterwards. I had the CFC Biscuit Benedict and you can customize it with spicy chicken or hot honey. I got the hot honey and it was perfect! It was so delicious I don't leave a morsel behind. My friend and I shared the salted caramel brownie for my birthday, and that was also delicious. I can't wait to come back here and this says a lot since I'm not big of fried chicken. Theirs is fried to perfection (soft on the inside and just crunchy enough on the outside). You're seriously missing out!

I have been to this restaurant several times before and it has always been one of my favorites. The…read moredrinks were amazing and the food was consistently great. Last night I finally brought my husband to try it after hyping it up for so long, and unfortunately it was a huge disappointment. Things have definitely changed. I was really looking forward to the chicken fried chicken, only to find out they were completely out of mashed potatoes. For a place known for chicken, that was surprising. So I ended up just sharing some of my husband's meal and our appetizer. The cornbread has always been something I rave about, especially with their hot honey. This time it came out dry, and the hot honey had no heat at all. It just was not the same. My husband's fried chicken was honestly the worst part. It was burnt, with a layer of black under the breading, and tasted like it had been overcooked to the point of being charred. There is no way the kitchen did not see how dark it was before serving it. That said, his sides were still great, so at least part of the meal was enjoyable. Our friend's chicken sandwich was not terrible, but it did not taste fresh like it used to. It felt more like something frozen and heavily breaded instead of the quality we had experienced before. One positive was the service. Our server was wonderful, and the rest of the staff was kind and attentive as well. I accidentally spilled my drink right after it arrived, and they were quick and gracious to replace it even though it was completely my fault. That was very much appreciated. The other issue that really took away from the experience was the atmosphere. Halfway through our meal, a large group of adults sat in the courtyard and had their children sit separately at a table right next to us, while their parents remained in another section of the patio. The kids were clearly having fun and playing games, which is great, but they were also very loud and screaming just a foot away from our table while their parents enjoyed quiet drinks elsewhere. There were completely open sections of the patio farther away where they could have sat, so it was frustrating that they were placed right next to the only other table of adults trying to enjoy a night out. It ended up being very disruptive and took away from what we had hoped would be a relaxing evening. Overall, I was really disappointed. This used to be a place I highly recommended, but after this visit it feels like the quality and attention to detail have slipped. I truly hope they can get back to what made them so great before.
