Michael and I ate there again and had the homemade beef chili this time. It was hearty with a slightly sweet sauce -- so good! This has become a great spot for our occasional community meetings. We eat, talk, and greet neighbors the way a true community business should. Friendly, welcoming, and always a pleasure to visit. read more

Came across Roast & Co recently while surfing Yelp and quickly bookmarked it! I LOVE a good CLEAN, juicy and tasty Rotisserie chicken and that's exactly what I received. Placed an order for delivery and I was not disappointed. The chicken was really good!! Moist, tender and lightly seasoned! Not bland at all in my opinion. The sides (Kale, broccoli, rice pilaf and rotisserie potatoes) were all tasty as well..the greens had a hint of garlic that I loved. Needless to say, I'm definitely a fan and look forward to trying other menu items. read more

Great service and a healthy option when eating out. I've ordered from here so many times and never been disappointed.

I dined in and had the lemon orzo chicken soup that was absolutely delicious. I came back the same day and ordered more soup to go in addition to the Santa Fe chicken wrap. The wrap was missing several key ingredients listed on the menu. There was no corn, black beans, bell peppers or celery. I called after opening the wrap up at home. I spoke with the same gentleman who took my order. He was very nice and apologetic. The manager or owner contacted me and rectified the situation. Will definitely be back for the soup and maybe will try something else. read more

Although we were quite disappointed when we found out that Roast and Co had become a DoorDash affiliate, we decided to try them again this evening, Oct. 30. We both ordered our favorites of the past, two cheeseburgers. Before DoorDash, their burgers were very special ,grilled to perfection, with their specially made fries. Tonight, we noted immediately that the burgers were not charcoal grilled, and were positively bland. The rolls they came on were of very poor quality, and the fries were no longer the specially made ones, but very ordinary. What a shame, that one of our favorite places, will no longer be patronized by us, two long-standing customers . read more

We placed an order via phone from Roast & Co. They prepared our meal super fast for 2 whole chickens with 8 sides and we picked it up in 15 mins. We live in the neighborhood but haven't got a chance to try it yet. Our friends told us their chicken was just okay, but the sides were really good and worth a try. We had 2 orders of chicken, each chicken comes with 4 sides and we had 8 out of 9 different sides. The food was really delicious, especially for the golden beet and kale. In our opinion, their chicken is great too, juicy, tender and flavorful. read more

Sadly quality has gone down. It was always one of my favs. Lost the magic and was disappointed with my last delivery.

I am so into this place that I wish there was a location near me. It's a casual eatery with a fairly simple menu and yet I look forward to eating here whenever I am in the hood. This reminds me of the fast casual spots in Manhattan, except I find they do a really good job of putting together quality food, while serving a mean variety of coffee and tea. The place is small, but has a nice amount of seating for individual diners and a table for a small group. They do a pretty good job with the takeout, as the dishes are well packaged. I also find their delivery is up there as well, at least for group lunches in the nearby offices on Queens Blvd. When it wasn't pandemic life, this was a fun spot for a quick lunch and a coffee meeting. I always appreciated the friendly smiles from the staff and they've never rushed me out even after spending way too much time on my laptop or yapping it up with Forest Hills locals. Otherwise, I enjoyed sipping my chai and/or latte (and sometimes, just staring at the latte art without wanting to drink it), while people watching as people exit out of the subway on the street. Big shout out to their kale caesar. It's one of my favorite dishes on their menu; it's fresh, not too overwhelming with the dressing, and a good gateway for anyone getting into salads. Their orange beets are also very tasty, and any of their soups (especially the lemon orzo!) are worth trying. While the roasted chicken is good, I've found that I'd prefer the Colombian and Peruvian versions (pollos a la brasa), which are cheaper and tastier. I'd probably opt for their other dishes if I'm going to feast from here. It's a really ideal lunch and healthy dinner option. read more

Cuisine: 3 Service: 6 Decor: 6 Value: 5 Overall: 4 DISCLAIMER: Comparison of 7 rotisserie chicken restaurants below are reviewed strictly on the chicken only. Not sides, not desserts, not any other food. Service and decor were not considered either. Visiting a new restaurant in my neighborhood called La Rotisserie du Coin triggered an obsession in me to find the best rotisserie chicken in Queens. For three days last week, I ate nothing but roast chicken. To be fair, I ordered the same half a chicken every time (except Costco) during busy lunch or dinner hours. Here are my findings below with a food score (independent of price or value) and some key notes for each establishment. LA ROTISSERIE DU COIN - 4/10, Chicken was barely warm and somewhat dry. This could be due to the fact that I was the only customer at 7:45pm. The skin had some hint of rosemary and other herbs, but the meat was quite bland. Restaurant had by far the nicest decor of all the chicken shops visited. Price ($12.85) for half a chicken with two sauces was also by far the most expensive. BOSTON MARKET - 5/10, Surprisingly better than LRDC, mainly because it was warmer and juicier. Skin had a stronger flavor of spices. The white meat was still slightly dry, but the dark meat was quite good. For $9.88 you get half a bird plus two sides. PIO PIO (Middle Village) - 8/10, My favorite roast chicken for a long time and it still does not disappoint. Super tender and juicy meat, along with amazingly tasty seasoning. $10 gets you half a pollo and endless green sauce (best of any restaurant that served it). COSTCO (LIC) - 7/10, Each chicken is time stamped. So fresh and hot, the box nearly burned my hands. While not as flavorful as some, it was definitely the juiciest and most tender. Possibly the most meatiest as well. Nowhere else I tried can beat the price of $4.99 for a whole entire chicken either. ROAST & CO. - 3/10, Lukewarm and quite dry. Unfortunately the worst of my experiment. My belief is that, due to their larger menu compared to the other similar restaurants, it's hard to keep the chicken fresh. Half a bird for $13.95 comes with two sides, which were decent. CARAVAN CHICKEN - 7/10, Similar to Pio Pio, but a little less tender, a bit less juicy, and the green sauce was not as thick. Skin has a little crispiness to it that no other roast chicken had. Fantastic buy at $7.21 for half. PEKING BBQ - 8/10, Same owner as Caravan Chicken, but the seasoning on the skin has a added sweetness (cha siu sauce) added to the traditional Peruvian herbs and spices. On the day I was there, I waited 20 mins for a new batch, which produced a better result. Once again, $7.21 for half a chicken is a great deal. In the end, this experiment proved something all foodies should already know ... ... everything tastes better when it's freshly made. Unlike a steakhouse that can fire up a piece of meat upon request, rotisserie chicken takes time to prepare and becomes overcooked the longer it sits in the oven. That's why places with consistent business will always win out in this race. If I have to pick one winner based on purely taste, then it would have to be Pio Pio. However, the biggest dark horse was definitely Costco. This was a fun experience, but I don't want to see another rotisserie chicken for months. read more

Chicken tenders - tasted okay, nicely fried, good crunch without an explosion of oil, but pretty bland. Chicken remained juicy. Honey mustard sauce that came with it is a must. Chicken panini sandwich also bland. The bread is top notch, good crispy toast, soft interior. Ingredients tasted fresh and chicken was juicy... but just a very bland sandwich overall. Fries were nothing special. read more

I came here after the gym, not expecting much, but Roast and Co completely exceeded my expectations. We got the Caprese Salad with Chicken and and Kale Caesar Salad. Both were soooo damn tasty, we scoffed them down. The ingredients to each salad were extremely fresh, and the rotisserie chicken was not overly dry in the slightest, which is what I worry about most when eating it. The caprese also included a nice pesto which was aromatic and really good, I could have licked my whole plate. As for the Caesar salad, they were light on the dressing which I liked, instead of dumping loads of it on, but it was all covered nicely. The homemade croutons were an awesome touch. Would totally come back here! read more

Small and cozy cafe / coffee shop. There are only a few tables on the side, so it is more of a quick bite kind of place. Their menu mainly consists of sandwiches, salads, and bakery items. They also have a very good rotisserie chicken deal - a whole chicken with 4 sides for $22.95. The chicken is on the smaller side, but combined with the sides, it was definitely a big enough meal for two people. The chicken was pretty moist. Not the best tasting chicken I've had, but still above average with an interesting herbal flavor to it. All the sides were great too. I tried the kale, quinoa, sweet potatoes and rice pilaf. It seems that they take good care in seasoning their food well, but also making sure it is prepared in a healthy manner. read more

I had a serious rotisserie chicken craving today, so I ordered one for delivery. Unfortunately, it turned out to be the most bland chicken I've ever had. Huge disappointment! read more

The good is that it's food and the bad is that there was no taste / gusto. I expected it to be a bit more . The place isn't the best aesthetically so I was hoping for the food to blow me out the water. Nope. Ordered a vegetable and carrot soup and a chicken panini with fries, all 3 eh. Nothing robust in flavor. But if you're hungry, it'll get the job done. Just if you're looking for something appetizing, this isn't the place. read more

Walked all the way to Rego Park from Kew Gardens so we could have a healthy light lunch before dinner in the city. Shared half a rotisserie chicken with roasted potatoes and golden beets. Not the juiciest chicken I've ever had but for the price I can't really complain. Lightly seasoned so if you're used to eating Peruvian chicken you might be underwhelmed. It's healthy, the sides are good. L loved the potatoes, but they're pretty easy to make at home. The beets were good but then I like beets in general. My fork was a lil wet/sticky... Im glad I tried the place but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here and although it's very healthy, it's not something my parents would want.. read more

Day adventures with my sister can lead to many random food stops, especially with her on a super health kick these days. So when Yelping away for lunch a few weeks ago we landed on Roast n Co.. Tasty freshness ensued. It's a tiny storefront right by the subway in the heart of Queens so be on the lookout for the red and grey awning. Inside is a lovely, little, cozy cafe. A few tables scattered about and some rooster decor adds to the poultry vibe. The menu is pretty vast for such a small spot with a deep love for coffee and cafe related fare. Soups, salads, sandwiches and the item that makes the place's name: rotisserie chicken. Salads were the option for lunch with my sis going for the insalata ingrale (roasted butternut squash, quinoa, goat cheese, toasted pumpkin seeds, cranberries, and mesclun). For $4 more she added chicken to make a mildly pricy, but apparently tasty lunch. For me, I followed suit on the greens and went for the Cobb salad with rotisserie chicken. Large pieces of egg, avocado, fresh blue cheese, and tomato all on a bed of baby spinach. Arguably one of the fresher tasting meals I've devoured in recent weeks with great flavor from the poultry. It was a healthy lunch which was a pleasant way to start the afternoon....before we dove into beer and ice cream elsewhere (what health kick?). Overall, Roast n Co offers up some great salads, and in turn a jealous girlfriend who wants to take a trip here. There's plenty more to warrant that return trip (beyond the girlfriend) and perhaps enough to push this review to five stars. For now, I'll wait until another experience of more coziness, freshness and maybe a little caffeine to grant that level up review. read more

I love the lemon chicken orzo soup and Insalata Integrale a lot . I will definitely try other things in the future.

I feel uncomfortable eating there since they started keeping their doors open in summer to the Queens Blvd. air full of car exhaust, particles of rat feces, dog feces, construction dirt, tobacco and cannabis smoke etc. all left to settle on the food they prepare in their kitchen. Feels third world. read more

It's a hidden gem! I first came here with a friend, and as a vegan and my friend someone who follow a paleo diet, we both got satisfying meals.

Well...I went into this small cafe because it has the word "roast" in it...thinking it was a roaster cafe...boy was I wrong. Tried the latte...and it wasn't that good. I actually drank half of it. But I think from the traffic in this cafe, people are there more for the food. I'm just basing this rating off the coffee. read more

Rotisserie Chicken is my favorite thing in the world that starts with a R (the second is Ryan Reynolds.) So after a long morning at the gym, I decided to treat myself to a half chicken platter at Roast n Co--which turned out to be a fantastic idea. The chicken was moist, flavorful and well seasoned--which I appreciate, because it can be so easy to mess up Roast chicken--like, dangerously easy, sometimes. I opted for the potatoes and sauteed kale for sides--both turned out to be great choices as well. The kale was made to order to my delight, as my mouth began to salivate the minute I saw them sprinkle a bountiful serving of kale into a saute pan and toss away. The potatoes glistened with chicken grease( this is a good thing, in my opinion) and were delicious. I will undoubtedly return to try their paninis, because if there's anything better than a roast chicken platter, it's roast chicken sandwiches between toasty carbs! read more

This place is a knockout on all fronts. Although a relatively small bill of fare, the food is if high quality and is literally cooked to order. Their salad greens are crisp and with a slight vinegrette dressing. and my wife's favorite, the roast chicken is cooked to perfection and not at all greasy. Their broccoli is lightly steamed and the fries are air fried and cut from potatoes since the skin is still on them . Too, the portions are gigantic and the prices are very reasonable. This eating establishment is a definite keeper. read more

I went back here yesterday for the 1000th time (approximately). I love this safe. I have tried everything on the menu and I love 95% of the items. Always great, personal service. I had my very favorites yesterday. All of these are the best of their kind I have ever had anywhere, any place over my 78 years of life. I had their cheeseburger and fries and iced coffee in the cafe. I also took out a couple of egg and cheese sandwiches and several chocolate chip cookies. Everything is made from high-quality ingredients with recipes to die for. i highly recommend Roast N Co in Forest Hills. read more

Fantastic fries and sandwiches. Very clean and friendly too! Fast service but not rushed !

Roast & Co is one of my favorite spots to grab lunch, a coffee & treat or even to order dinner. The roasted chicken & sides is my go-to when I want a home-cooked dinner minus the cooking. Everything is so flavorful and the fries are some of the best I've had. The salad integrale is my favorite healthy meal in Forest Hills and the panini are also excellent. You really can't go wrong here. Delivery is always quick and accurate, and the restaurant is really cute. Seating is limited, but you can usually find a spot. read more

No bueno! Negative stars for this place. I ordered a whole chicken, sautéed kale, rice pilaf and sweet potatoe. Kale had mole on it!!! Be careful with your food people! When they first opened, I lived their food and service, now they are becoming sloppy and risky to order from. read more

So I had this place bookmarked for a while. I finally decided to pass by yesterday and so happy I did. I ordered the integral salad, and a ginger pumpkin loaf. Though I was a bit surprised at the bill (34$ for two salads and a small loaf), we enjoyed every bit of our meal. It was tightly packed, so portion was enough for two separate meals. Def a plus! The chicken was just so tasty and fresh! They are very generous w the portion of all add-ons, which is what makes this salad so tasty. The goat cheese and the toasted seed take this simple salad to a different level. I would totally come back to this place ! The service was also superb! Though I did not go inside bc there was no parking, I politely called and ordered over the phone and asked them to plz run it outside..and they happily did that for me! So I was thrilled. The simple things ..lol. Anyways, healthy and fast service. Def give it a try! read more

Food was pretty good, not great, but don't expect any kind of customer service.

Love this place. Ordered delivery for the first time. Full disclosure, ordered the whole chicken with 4 sides (golden beets, kale, French fries, and ratatouille) and the delivery was a colossal mess. They pack thing in paper boxes which is better for the environment than using plastic, but the boxes were open and contents falling out. They should do a better job of packing delivery items in a better way. It was an absolute mess trying to clean the leaking sauce and juices. Despite this, the food is so good. It tastes so healthy. Not excessively salty and not bland. Absolutely refreshing. The vegetables were cooked and seasoned well. The chicken is moist and tasty. You can smell the herbs (rosemary, thyme?) as it fills the air with aroma. Even with the poor delivery I am proud to give this place 4 stars and look forward to going to the store in person next time. Probably won't order delivery again. Seriously a colossal mess and unacceptable. read more

So good I always order a smoothie and the quinoa salad they have with roasted maple butternut squash goat cheese and cranberries it's extra for grilled chicken but so worth is you get a huge portion so good this place its super healthy and great to stop by for lunch breakfast or dinner Everything is always so fresh I also had a chicken teriyaki Wrap which was really yummy as well I highly recommend coming here If your hungry you will not regret it!! read more

I wish I could give them NO STARS. So this is my fourth time getting a salad from here on my lunch break, an their customer service STINKS. I ask the guy could I have the Insalata salad that's on their Menu, I wanted avocado instead of the cranberries, he told me they don't do substitutes, I said ok, so I went along with the salad, I just told him minus the cranberries. So I took a seat waiting for my salad, with an expectation someone would at least said, Sir your order is ready. Nope! No one did. It's after almost 10 minutes waiting I walked up to the counter and ask if my order is ready, the same "anal tentative" guy turned around reach for my order that was sitting on a counter near him and handed it to me. And this is the second time I've noticed this very poor customer service treatment. No wonder their NYC Department of Health inspection grade is pending. Never again. To be warned, if your skin pigmentation is less than bright don't go. read more

Came in for a late lunch. Ordered a mushroom artichoke quiche, plain bagel with cream cheese, and a chai latte. The quiche was cold in the center and the pastry was very hard; definitely had better. The bagel was pretty mediocre as well, the norm I would expect from like say Dunkin Donuts. I ordered it toasted and it came hard. The Chai Latte was good, hence the 2 stars. The interior of this place was a bit run down with very limited space. The tables were placed so close together that you'd bump heads with the person behind you. Don't sit by the restroom. Just don't. You'll lose your appetite due to the smell. Dude manning the register who took my order seemed to have a chip on his shoulder. Curt would be a good way of describing his attitude. I will not go out of my way to come here again. read more

Holy crap this hands down was the best healthy and hearty salad bowl of goodness I've ever had in my life(Insalata Integrale). Yes life! Food that's fresh that you try to make at home but your not a culinary chef so it doesn't look or taste as good. Well "Roast n Co" dominated my stomach and gut punched me with something so beautiful. Your paying a decent price for a really big portion of food. I almost didn't finish my meal. Yes I was going to take home a doggy bag for salad. That almost never happens. Roast N Co is a nice spot to get food after work, relax and maybe even do homework. This nice lil gem is right in the heart of Queens Blvd so finding parking might be a little challenge so I recommend getting there before a weekday work hours like 9-5. If your looking for food thats fresh, affordable and big this is the place. read more
