When she gave us the food all of our sides were turned on their sides, we get home and we realize that our 12 piece mix is all DARK meat and burnt, not sure what the point of the employee making us recite our entire order to her was if they were still going to get it wrong. Trash service and trash quality.

I kid you not.... After our first bite , my husband and I looked at each other and both said "this…read moremay be the best burger I've ever had in my life". I had the tiger shark. It's a spicy burger with bacon, jalapeño, pepper jack cheese, crispy onions and more. It's so large I could only eat half of it. So I'm saving the other half for dinner. My husband got the blue cheese burger with bacon and some sort of blueberry reduction on it. He devoured the entire thing. I had a small bite and loved it!! The shareable chili cheese fries were so good. There was some sort of seasoning in the chili or fries that was super different but in a really good way. Basically you HAVE to eat here. I can't wait to be back and try more items. The service was wonderful. Everyone was so kind. The atmosphere is adorable and plenty of searing and shade outside

It's still not great food, but it was good food that was hot and served with a smile. The secret is, don't order off the buffet. Order off the menu. I tried the meat and cheese tacos tonight and they were surprisingly good. They came with a nice spicy salsa and were made to order, so they were fresh and tasty. For a burger/chicken place, this caught me completely off guard, but I would eat them again and that says a lot. Also good were the French fries (ask for salt, there is none on the fries) and the gravy. I'm pleasantly surprised and will probably return to this location for nights when I need a quick dinner that is affordable. Service was fantastic btw. Always a plus!

I've lived and worked around Eustace, Texas for years, and I know most folks in this community…read more That's why it bothers me to speak up, but what I've seen over at The Roost just doesn't sit right. From what I've experienced, it seems like the place hires people who are already having a hard time finding work elsewhere. There's one waitress who, as I understand it, lost a previous job at a vet clinic after some issues with missing medication. These days, she'll sometimes show up with her own mix of what she calls a Bloody Mary--heavy on the vodka--and while she might offer it around, she mostly drinks it herself during her shift. She's married to a local police officer, and I've even seen him there in uniform helping bus tables. Another waitress is a local girl--friendly enough--but not very sharp, and she ends just about everything with a nervous little laugh that wears on you after a while. In the kitchen, things are worse. One of the cooks reportedly brings in liquor in the mornings, keeps it in the cooler by the register, and drinks from it throughout the day while working. I've also noticed basic cleanliness and food safety don't seem to be taken seriously. Hair shows up in food more often than it should, and when it's pointed out, it's sometimes just picked out by hand and tossed aside, no handwashing after. I've never personally seen staff washing their hands the way they should, and gloves and hairnets don't seem to be used. Food handling practices raise a lot of concerns--things like cheese and ingredients sitting out for hours, reused bowls without washing, and no clear labeling or dating on food. The equipment doesn't seem to be working right either. Freezers and refrigerators aren't holding proper temperatures, and instead of fixing them, it looks like staff are working around it with ice or just using the equipment anyway. I've heard of meat and seafood being served even when it didn't seem fresh. There are also bigger issues. The building doesn't appear to meet basic accessibility standards for folks with disabilities--parking, entrances, and restrooms included. Plumbing problems have reportedly backed up into the café area, and instead of shutting down to clean properly, the same mop used in the dining area was used to deal with it. Altogether, it paints a picture of a place that may not be taking health, safety, or basic standards seriously. I care about this town and the people in it, and I believe folks deserve to know what they might be walking into.
