Our app came quickly but the drinks and food came so slowly. Also between us asking for waters while we look at the cocktail menu was a lot of elapsed time. Food: the steak frites were very salty (and I love salt) but definitely the best meal ordered. The "Mac attack" tasted cheeseless -- literally tasted like water. The chicken Alfredo was "mid" but also a super tiny portion. Both pastas looked like kids meals. I guess they were priced appropriately at least. Not pictured was the Donny burger -- described as "eh it was fine". All left more to be desired. We really wanted to try the cinnamon cake but decided against since service was sooooo slow. The peach tea was bad. The oasis marg was okay. When we asked for wine, we were told "I don't know what we have let me show you" and were shown the screen that listed: white, red, rose, and sparkling. The wine should be listed on the menu with the beer and the cocktails. I'd maybe come again to sit at the bar and have a drink or two if there's live music, but otherwise, this is skippable for a full meal service.

The fries were hot and crispy. They didn't ask how I wanted my burger cooked, which is the only let down. He had wicked grilled chicken sandwich and it was overall good. But not hot. And the chicken was pounded out really flat, which was the let down. Onion rings are really just extremely thin onions in a thick batter. Good crisp and flavor if that's the kind of onion ring you want. Menu was huge. Looking forward to going back and trying something else. Service was pretty good. Didn't catch her name though. I get annoyed that I don't have the opportunity to check that I was charged correctly. That being said, I was.

She was attentive, kind, and always paying attention to whether we needed anything without hovering. We started with the appetizer sampler and chose the fried pickles, okra, and green beans. Everything came out hot, fresh, and lightly breaded, which I really appreciated. Nothing felt greasy or overly heavy. Also, the sweet tea was actually sweet and delicious, not that sad "dark water" tea you sometimes get other places. We split the chicken fried chicken sandwich and an order of 8 honey BBQ wings. Both came out at the same time, and honestly, we probably could have chosen just one because the portions were huge. For the price point, that was a big plus. Everything I saw on the menu looked reasonably priced and fair for today's economy, no price gouging. The chicken fried chicken was cooked perfectly. The breading was light, the outside was crispy, and the chicken was still juicy. The wings were fried naked and crispy before the sauce was added, which I loved. My only tiny nitpick would be that there was a little more sauce than I personally prefer. I would have liked the option to add more sauce if needed, since you can always add more but can't take it off once it's on. Overall, this was such a good experience. Great service, fresh food, big portions, fair prices, and a true local restaurant feel. I'm so glad we chose this place and will definitely be sending people this way!

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.
