    this with a coffee cost me $19.33....yikes!
    Kristen S.

    OK omelet-fresh and hot. Was completely lacking in toppings-asked for spinach and broccoli and legit got 4 pieces of broccoli. The spinach was raw but the heat of the eggs cooked it for me. Place is hidden amongst the other places on main street. My omelet and coffee came to $19.33 plus tip! I thought that was way too high for what I got....Guess it's the "new normal"....

    Amazing Healthy Stake Breakfast with seasoned stake and sautéed spinach.  This morning at the Roost I had the best breakfast!

    Amazing Healthy Steak Breakfast at Ed's Roost. Seasoned steak with sautéed spinach it is the Best!!!!

    already downed two apple juices
    Ramsie J.

    yelling at me saying there's no free refills when i didn't ask. sausage smells bad. toast was good. apple juice fire tho i won't buy another because she's being rude. daddy likes his meal so i'm happy

    Vintage Ballantine's can, among others?  Cool.

    Hearty home-style food Prompt, friendly service Great, cozy space Ed's Roost - assuming I am not lazily eating mango while overlooking the sea in Trinidad when I retire, then this is the type of breakfast place I do hope to frequent when I retire. The space feels like home, the straightforward, well-executed food tastes great, the service is with a smile, many people know each other here and welcome each other heartily, and even those of us less regular visitors will feel in on that vibe. I don't ask for much more than that. Maybe a clearer indication of being cash-only, but it's a very minor quibble. As an aside, I'll be unable to weigh in on the Ed's/Jigger's debate, as, sadly, Jigger's appears to owe Centreville Bank more money than it takes to keep the doors open. As such, I'll mourn my missed opportunity, but remain happy to know Ed's. I think you will, too.

    McLight breakfast sandwich with Swiss cheese and avocado spread; home fries.
    Sara D.

    GREAT breakfast food and friendly, efficient staff! Feel like this place has gotten overlooked on Main Street bc there are so many hot spots but the vibe has changed in the past year and it's my go to spot lately. Fave is the McLight breakfast sandwich which has spinach and cheese - add the avocado spread and home fries on the side and it's a hearty & healthy breakfast.

    The chorizo and red pepper omelet with grilled home fries.
    Brad P.

    Friendly service, tasty breakfast, interesting interior, and even a nice fall view of Main Street. Had the chorizo and red pepper omelet with grilled home fries.

    Two eggs and beef hash w/ complementary toast.

    Hands down, the best corned beef hash in Rhode Island. That alone is worth a visit! A great local breakfast place on Main St.

    5 Stars for exceptional coffee and food that will bring these RI visitors back before we head back…read moreto FL. The weather was nice, so we chose to sit out back under the lovely umbrellas and look over the water. They also have adirondack chairs set out, so I imagine it would be a lovely spot for a cocktail and a chat with friends! Our server, Lena, was a DREAM and helped us make our choices. I got a seasonal latte while my partner got the medium-roast pourover coffee. Having had a hard time finding really great coffee recently, we were soooo impressed. They clearly take their coffee program seriously (and now I realize the name should have tipped me off!). The food was equally impressive. It legitimately didn't have to be as good as it was (lol). The yogurt bowl on any menu is usually "meh," but we gave it a try since we wanted some non-meat protein and I am SO glad we did. It was the best yogurt bowl I've ever had- no contest. The whole milk yogurt was creamy; the strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries were ripe; the honey and granola added crunch and some floral sweetness; and the best part was the raspberry preserves they pipe on top. I wish I could recreate this at home! We also loved the lemon poppyseed loaf with blueberry preserves and cream. Another quick brunch addition that could have been simple, but had so much thought put into the flavors. Overall, a big fan and I'll be back!

They do have parking available which is nice since there area mostly only have street parking. Inside is pretty large and they have lots of tables and counter. It was not too busy so we were sat down right away. They did have some easter specials but i ended up getting Fried chicken sandwich and deviled eggs. Deviled egg came out quickly. It was ok looked kind of sad as seen on the picture. Rest of the food took a while for it to come out which was weird because it wasn't that busy. Maybe short staffed. Finally the food arrived. Fried chicken sandwich was honestly not that great. Looked like it was fried too long, darkened. The cut did not have a lot of meat and it was very dry. The sauce and brioche bun helped it to balance it a bit. Fries were good. Overall the food was ok at best. We decided to try their dessert. We got the easter special egg cheese cake and carrot cake. The desert was excellent. Egg cheese cake had egg and nest looking chocolate frosting which made it look in theme for easter. It had nice creamy cheese flavor with chocolate frosting and good crust at the bottom. Carrot cake was moist and delicious. Service was ok. We had a new server that seemed like was not fully trained yet with knowledge about their menu. Wait was long for the main meal. I can see that she was trying though. Overall the place was ok. Food quality seemed to be inconsistent with the menus. If anything i would come back for the desert if they have the cheese cake around again.

We asked to sit outside and were stunned by the epic views of the docks that they have. It truly was a breathtaking sight. My only gripe was that it wasn't as shaded (either naturally or by awnings) as I thought it would be which made for a warm experience. However, the staff were great about accommodating any requests to move with some of the available tables they did have. Also, though no fault of their own I kept getting some septic smells in the breeze. It was faint and not all the time but definitely not something you want while having lunch- hopefully whichever business owner or home owner having that issue can get that cleared up. Our waitress was very friendly, attentive but not overbearing, and made sure we were well taken care of. I ordered the fish and chips. Our food came out quickly and everything looked good! Their mango coleslaw is unique but tasty. The fish was nice and flaky with a crispy batter. I found it to be a little greasy but nothing too worrying. Overall, a great meal to have by the water.
