    The Roasting Company is a classic Charlotte staple that has been holding it down on Montford for years. Their menu is primarily based around rotisserie chicken, and combines some elements of Latin American cuisine eats with Southern comfort food. They have a very laid back vibe with an impressive tap room to crush some beers in. I like to get the chicken with queso and rice. Very tasty, very filling, just an all around comfort meal plus you get a side of cornbread. I haven't had a chance to try their wings yet but I am very eager to. Whether you are in the mood for a wrap, a bowl, or an entire rotisserie chicken, they have you covered.

    No notes! The food was awesome! The staff was so nice. 10/10!

    A Charlotte oldie but goodie!! I love that you place your order at the window. They keep it simple, comfort-food AND delicious! Their food is consistent and flavorful. Service is great! For seating they have mostly booths and several tables. They have Coca-Cola Products, insert heart emoji here. The environment is friendly and neighborhood-like. Parking on Montford can be a little complicated, especially at peak times but nothing Impossible.

    I was looking for some veggies to eat for dinner and stumbled upon this restaurant. There weren't many customers after the lunch hours. I ordered pinto beans, mac & cheese, greens, and mashed sweet potatoes. Initially, with the veggies served in individual, small containers, I thought I wasn't getting enough. After serving myself half o the portions, I realized the serving sizes were perfect. The vegetables were pretty good and I loved the pinto beans. With a varied menu and daily specials, you can't go wrong with this restaurant. I welcome the opportunity to return for more.

    Excellent experience and my first time here! As soon as we walked in we were greeted. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. Food came quick, portion sizes were great and they even had a salsa/sauce bar where you could help yourself. I got the rotisserie salad which was huge and loaded with chicken. My partner got the 1/4 chicken with collard greens. Lots of seating inside and out and a full bar with plenty of bar seating! Highly recommend!

    Tons of seating, great outdoor table options, FAST service of food, LOVE the daily selections, LOVE the side offerings. GREAT prices. Things I LOVED: * NOT OVERLY SWEET - food items were actually savory and not full-on-southern-sweet * Cornbread muffin. Tasted like cornbread with corn and NOT sweet * LOVE the dill potatoes... again NOT sweet, but dill-flavored and not overly wet, and perfectly cooked potato * GENEROUS brisket portion on the sandwich * GENEROUS fries portion * GENEROUS dill-potato portion Okay let's talk about some of the missed opportunities here: * Chicken was a bit dry... BUT I did come at the end of the day * Chicken as a bit SMALL... the 1/4 dark i buy from Harris is like 3x bigger * Brisket was SALTY... BUT maybe because I have cut down recently and now I am hyper-sensitive * Drink dispenser area was a MESS... BUT maybe because I arrived at the end of the day * I THINK there was sweet tea available... but i am not going to trust an open carafe to pour from with no label on it * Fries were SUPER salty... BUT again, maybe i am over-sensitive right now I DO want to go back and try the Pot Pie (which was sold out...) so maybe I update this again in the future?

    Great place for a laid back experience with a beer and/or and rotisserie chicken dinners. We stumbled upon the place looking for outdoor dining on a Friday night and saw this place and decided to commit :) It's super casual. If you eat at the bar, it's full service. If the bar is full or you want to sit on the patio, you simply order the food at the counter (they will bring it out to you) and then go order your drinks directly at the bar. The beer selection was solid and apparently on Friday's drafts are super cheap (only $4.25 for a Wooden Robot IPA). My bride ordered the Texas Bowl ($10) and really enjoyed it. Usually bowls are mostly rice, but in this case it was light on rice and loaded with all the other ingredients. I went with the signature rotisserie chicken - all white half portion with one side ($12) of baked beans and I really loved it. The chicken was a healthy portion and perfectly cooked. The sauces were limited...but I found one spicy one that was solid. Staff was super friendly!

    1/4 chicken with beans & rice & squash casserole and mashed sweet potatoes

    Hadn't been here in years only because I never go down that part of town very often . So glad we were in the hood and stop by for a delicious dinner. It was exactly what we remembered and the food was delicious. I had 1/4 chicken with rice and beans . The hubs had a 1/4 chicken with sweet potato's and squash casserole. He loved it ! I did too . It was delicious! Also the corn bread was off the hook delicious. Two thumbs way up

    Patio/outdoor seating

    Great service. Outdoor seating perfect spot to unwind and socialize. Food was authentic and fresh.

Upon entering there were other patrons waiting and were told the hostess hasn't been around for a while and everyone was waiting to check in or get on a wait list that looked like it wasn't being used. Which we learned from the hostess saying she's just seating whoever is next and there's no longer a list. Interesting. Is this a new practice? What compounded the issue is multiple entry points and no order to who arrived when to determine who's next. After a while we were seated in an area that provided a view of every screen so we could finish watching some games. After a short wait our server took our orders for apps and drinks. A short while later she took our orders. Our food arrived after a little wait. Not much to say. It's typical fair for this chain restaurant. The only reason I'm giving four stars was our server. Shawanda was great! She was responsible for a lot of tables and she seemed to perform her duties flawlessly, efficiently, and always smiled. She looked like she was working with purpose and gave the impression she enjoyed it. She deserves employee recognition.
