This is the better location in town! They have a nice outdoor patio. The menu has nice options, they also have a good cocktail menu. The food came out decently quick and was yummy! Our server was fantastic! read more

A comfortable spot where the emphasis is as much -- if not more -- on "grill" as "bar." A group of five enjoyed supper here with meals ranging from burgers to sandwiches to pizza. The general thought was that The Roost was just a little "off" with its menu. The mega-meat pizza was a little overcooked and under-seasoned. My Reuben sandwich seemed light on corned beed and sauerkraut. Other items were deemed "okay." Service was attentive and staff was friendly. read more

Usually our food is very good. However this last meal was just ok. We ordered wings. One of the wing was just a nob. There were very small compared to the wings we have ordered before. Service was ok. read more

Service is great food even better. I had French dip sandwich wife had the chicken wrap cold beer cold Dr Pepper will return

Please stop watering down your salad dressings! This is the case at all locations. There is absolutely no flavor in them. It really ruins the salad. Service is mediocre at best. Took forever for my daughter to get her pizza because they burnt the first one. Got nothing but apologies. Everyone in our group was finished eating and paying their bills. She finally gets her pizza. She said it tasted bland and was dry. How about you comp the pizza. Not worth $15 for a tiny dry pizza. read more

First time at The Roost and it was great. Was visiting family and just picked this from yelp to get together with other family also from out of town. Very friendly and informative staff. Great variety on the menu. Obvious it was a chicken place but, they had pizza to burgers and more. I had naked chicken sandwich, sweet potato waffle fries and fried mushrooms for app. Terrific. The fried items everyone ordered were not greasy and perfectly done. Tried different items and they didn't all taste the same like at some places. Laid back atmosphere and clean. Will go back when in town. read more

Grilled chicken salad gone to hell. Smaller and no flavor. Do not order steak salad either. Better go with fattening burger and onion rings. I never send food back but we didn't eat most of salad. They used to be best in town. Server was sweet and said they were short staffed. She talked to manager and he or she ( never saw her or him or they) out. Took 20 percent off check. Wow lol. Gave server full amount. Not her fault. Will never order healthy here again. Times are tough but these salads were pathetic. Fail i I'll n a big way. read more

Great service and the food was awesome! We stopped in just to try something different, we will be adding this to our list of places to eat. We ordered the sampler basket with fried pickles, mushrooms and onion rings. My husband ordered the mushroom Swiss with waffle fries. My friend ordered the nachos (huge). I myself ordered the club, waffle fries and pasta salad. Everything was hot and fresh and the place was spotless. read more

I love the food here, even when the place is packed and hopping, service and quality is top notch. read more

It was a busy night on a Wednesday and me and a group of kids came in for a dine dine. Sat ourselves at a table and just waited for any server's. Some saw us and we just chilled there. Took about 15min but its all good, a grill bar place u know. The guy finally came and serve us. Took all of our orders, and he was great. The food didn't take too long, we was just very hungryyyyyy. We tore it all up, from appetizers to pizzas, wings and pasta. We order more food, and it came out less then 15 minutes. Overall, we have a fun night and good food eating, just the wait for orders and paying takes forever. I even got a wrong bills and credit card back Lolololol. read more

The fried pickles and boneless buffalo wings were perfect! The burgers didn't have much flavor aside from the toppings but still good.

Walked in after the lunch rush, not busy at all. In fact we were told "sit wherever you want." After taking our seat I watched as the waitresses talked with each other, checking their phones and drinking sodas. Then one would break off and ask another table if they wanted more drinks, or handing checks; then they would go right back to congregating.. Mind you we are right in the middle of the restaurant; staff is walking right by us! We were being treated as we were invisible! Another couple walked in and sat near the door, and they were taken menus immediately! Was there something I was missing? Was I supposed to ring a bell, raise my hand, yell?!! After another few minutes "10 minutes total without being acknowledged" we got up, and on the way out I said "great service you have here." A staff member replied "thanks!" To which i responded "we were never even acknowledged!" I knew that their other location also had lousy service but it seems to have carried over here as well. Don't complain about tips, and people not coming in if your service is terrible. read more

The best boneless teriyaki wings I've ever had, seriously. Toasted ravioli, queso and their unique "scoop" steak fries are also amazing. Great service too. read more

Simple, yet delicious food. We have been pleased with all we have tried. My favorite is the mushroom swiss burger & fries.

Please don't post that you are open until 1am if you're kitchen closes at 10pm. Staff was annoyed we even attempted to come in. Who is coming just to drink for 3 hours?? So disappointing. read more

The Roost is our favorite local bar and grill. Every time we have been there we've had great, friendly service and hot fresh food. My husband loves the burgers and I always get one of their salads because they are always fresh and loaded with veggies (their dressings are phenomenal as well). They have many different appetizers to choose from and have a nice patio and a great drink selection for sunny days. read more

emilee did a great job serving us and we got our food in record time! Great place to hang out and enjoy some delicious food. Highly recommended. read more

The food is always great! I love the different options on the side choices. The service is fast. The different beers on hand are amazing. The food comes out pretty quickly. I highly recommend the Cowboy Quesadilla. read more

By far some of the best bar food for a great price. Enjoyed loaded fries, chicken strip dinner with broccoli & fried pickles, fried chicken queso wrap with roasted cauliflower and a southwestern wrap. The fried pickles were by far the best i've ever had. Wish I lived closer so I could go more often!! read more

So myself and 2 others went to this restaurant today 6/4/23 around 1230. 1 persons order was correct, my order was correct but by the time I received any condiments I had eaten most of burger, my sister ordered a patty melt without bread & onion rings. She was given a double cheeseburger on a bun. She started eating her onion rings while we waited to get someone's attention. They said the cook needs the cheeseburger back before he can make the correct item. In the mean time I place an order to go, which was a cheeseburger with regular fries. My sister asked about getting new onion rings so she would have hot ones to go with her patty melt. We got the manager involved & were told since she was eating the original onion rings they could make her new ones and charge her. We were like "so she's suppose to just sit here and eat nothing while we're eating our food?" In the mean time we have to ask for refills. Then the to go order arrives & they've given us onion rings instead of fries. The manager comes over, puts on gloves and removes the onion rings (like are you going to give them to someone else?) I said I think ya all got a cook problem today. She gets snotty & says well I wish you'd been nicer & not made your waitress cry...(we were never nasty to her, we were just stating facts & asking that they be corrected) A different waitress brings us the replacement. I open it & it's waffle fries. At this point I said I'm not gonna make a big deal over this because this whole lunch as been a fiasco & we have somewhere to be but these were supposed to be regular fries & we need our ticket so we can leave. And to top this WHOLE experience off she comes back with the check and says "have the day you deserve" like WTH??? My sister didn't hear what she said & asked a 2nd time for her to go tea. When she took a drink she said it tasted like they'd poured coffee in it. My family used to frequent this establishment weekly, if not more. They will no longer receive our hard earned money! There are plenty of other good, friendly restaurants in Springfield. read more

I was targeted due to my friend color and hurried out and treated rude! Terrible service on a game night! I guess your only supposed to watch one game. read more

Way too loud, can't hear myself think in that place and metal isn't my thing anymore esp thrash. Only ate the wings, they were ok

This is our first time visiting. We came in on a Tuesday evening and they were extremely busy. We sat down and within a minute were greeted with menus by our server. She was very attentive and had great recommendations. We ordered the carnivore pizza and a burger to share. They were both delicious. The burger we ordered with everything on the side and just the plain burger was very flavorful! The pizza was loaded with toppings and they make their own ranch. I'm a bit of a ranch snob and I loved it! We will definitely be back and are excited it's so close to our house! read more

I had the food delivered so I cannot comment on the service or restaurant itself. I can say the food was cooked well but extremely bland. The sides, the chicken, all of it tastes like there was nos seasoning put on at all, not even salt. read more

Great food and service but loud as hell during prime time. Acoustically miserable design.

We have been here more than one time. The first time I got a wrap and it was delicious. It had chicken (fried) and queso with lettuce and pico. Then then the second time I had a burger which was very small. They hand make their patties which was great but i was expecting I guess more? I am thinking I just got the ugly patty. The flavor was on point tho. It was definitely good burger. read more

Very good selection of sports bar food options in SW Spfld. Super service from experienced waitstaff. Many good TVs make for good sports bar ambiance. read more

My family and I have been to the location on sunshine and love it but stay away from the one on Cox road. They Do not have the same specials that the sunshine location even tho it's under the same ownership! My child ordered a chicken tender basket with fries and she chose a side salad in place of the fries and there was an additional charge. The chenders were not even fully cooked. The beer is pricey and I ordered a salad with a side of broccoli and they charged me $4.99 for that side.! The salad was horrible! And There was an up charge of $2.99 on every extra side we ordered along with the meal purchase even tho it's says on the menu .99 cents. Even pointing it out to the waitress her response was I don't know what to tell ya? Save your money and time go to big Whiskeys happy hour and stay away from the Roost. Sarah R. read more

Great food; clean environment. Ate there twice in the past seven days. We love the menu. First visit we had Dayton - excellent service! Second time, luke warm passive at best with an attitude (Matthew). read more

We've eaten here several times. Haven't found anything not to our liking. I've had the Roost Burger several times, and it never disappoints. Tried their wings for the first time the other day, and they were excellent. Not an over breaded wing either. In fact, no breading. I've also had several of their chicken items, from strips to sandwiches, and they were all good. Even their pastas were good, and definitely try the chicken-Mac-and-cheese. Portions are very good sized. Even the sides like the onion rings, fried picketed, and mushrooms were hand breaded, not prepackaged frozen junk. read more

My boyfriend and I were so disappointed by our terrible service. Our waitress Tessie didn't seem to want to pay attention to our table and spent a bunch of time flirting with some old men there instead. My (huge) salad was actually pretty good, thankfully I got it eventually, and my boyfriends burger was not. If only the server cared! We won't be back. read more

Good place for a beer and some bar food. Plenty of TV's showing sports. Service is always good and food comes out in good time. Family friendly with some games for kids in the side room. read more

Food is always great. I recommend not having the steak salad. For $14 the meat is mashed up and shredded. The grilled chicken is much better. read more

This is one of our favorite little hang outs in town. We love the pizza and buffalo Chicken sandwich. The fried mushrooms are also great and they have $5 beer pitchers. The manager and staff are always friendly and it's a great place to watch a football game and have drinks. read more

Nice atmosphere, but the food is what I would expect from a nursing home. Mac and cheese was very watery, and the sandwiches were bland. Bottom line, save your money. A box of shells and cheese would have been much better. read more

I'm Lynne M.'s sister, and this review piggybacks off hers regarding our experience on June 4th. Someone else delivered our food, and my sandwich was wrong. We told another waitress that our order was wrong when we couldn't see our waitress. I'm hungry so I start eating my onion rings. When our waitress arrived she immediately sees the problem and says she'll have the kitchen make the right sandwich. When she returns, she takes the wrong sandwich with her and leaves the onion rings. I ask for a new order of onion rings since the original order would be cold by the time my correct sandwich is delivered. She comes back to our table and explains since I started eating the onion rings I would be charged for a fresh order. The only way I would not have been charged was to return them along with the incorrect sandwich! So I was supposed to sit there with no food while the rest of my party ate and the kitchen corrected their mistake! I explained we were regular customers. It didn't matter. I requested a manager. The manager repeated what the waitress had said. I again explained that we visited their establishment 1-2 times a week. NOTHING! I said, "Well, we won't be back!" Manager still didn't care! Then our carry out meal was wrong, and the manager accused us of making our waitress cry. We only stated the facts. We didn't get angry with her. When the "correct" side was delivered, it was still wrong. We told the nearest waitress that the side was still wrong but we needed to go and asked for our check. The waitress whom we requested our check from, drops the check off and "Hope you have the day you deserve!" WHAT?!? I'm the bad guy beside I asked for a fresh, hot side of onion rings. Then two more mistakes occur? WOW!! And my to go iced tea tasted like coffee had been added to the tea. Never experienced such unprofessional, disrespectful behavior all because of a side of onion rings. Very disappointed in a restaurant that we considered one of our favorite neighborhood places to eat. Used to recommend The Roost to family and friends. Won't be doing that anymore. Instead I will tell others that this place does not provide customer service and is downright rude! read more

Food quality is hit and miss. Also, no system in place for wait list, so if there aren't any tables available, you are SOL. Food is better than Big Whiskeys and Dublin's Pass. read more

I visit this place frequently and I have to say that Reese is my favorite sever by far. Always super friendly and gets us everything we need as soon as possible. Every time I visit he is always working very hard. Make sure to come to the roost and ask for Reese! read more
