    Salmon special with garlic broccoli and mashed potato. Excellent food

    Great lunch special Under 15.00 for quarter chicken with 2 sides. Nice. Their fries are delicious. I try to get the sweet potatoes and choice of veggies Enjoy

    Santa Fe wrap. It's supposed to come with corn, black beans, bell pepper and celery. I spy none of those ingredients.

    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.

    Something that came along with a 1/2 roasted chicken.

    Looking at what you are serving before closing the box. I received a 1/2 chicken with an artery big enough for huge turkey

    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.

    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.

    Caprese Salad
    Angelica O.

    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!

    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.

    Golden beets
    Marina C.

    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..

    Small and quaint and nice and co.

    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.

    I really enjoyed lunch at this place! They've recently rebranded to Austin Street Cafe/Bar & Grill…read more- and they have a sort of diner-esque vibe with a full-service bar ($7 happy hour cocktails!!!) They started us off with a croissant on the house, which was pretty good. Nice attention to detail as it was served with a heart-shaped side of butter. Also part of their happy hour menu are a couple select bar bites. I went for the chicken quesadillas, and it was a hearty portion at their price point. And it had a great flavor - chicken was nice and juicy. Natalie was our server, and was very attentive and friendly throughout our time here. And just when we thought it couldn't get better, Natalie and the manager brought us some cookies on the house to take home. Nothing but praise to be sung about this spot - I hear they're looking into possibly incorporating live music next. Will definitely be back - two thumbs up!

I heard him making jokes with customers and asking people for feedback. Now to the rest of it: service is weird and slow. When we were seated, we had to wait a little bit until receiving menus. Water wasn't automatically given to us also, so you have to ask. A woman took down our order, but later asked if we got waffles, even though I said pancakes - overall took 25 minutes to get our order of a salad and pancakes. Pancake platter came with two pancakes, two eggs, and a couple berries on the side. There's also an option to add sausage or bacon but no price there, which adds to the confusion. When we pointed it out, they removed the charge from our bill. There were maybe 3 people who stood behind the coffee bar which is kind of around a corner, making it hard to get service if you're not in their field of vision. Kind of strange there isn't a clear welcoming desk or something like that. Also, I think the menu uses AI as photos - there's a picture of a burger with fries and chips, but I don't think they serve chips. There's also a picture of cake with garlic next to it, which could be an artistic choice. We didn't get any drinks, but there was a table next to us who abandoned their full cups of Nutella lattes which was interesting.

In addition to the AMAZING BRANZINO, we enjoyed steak frites, oxtail croquettes, fried calamari and a Boston wedge salad. Everything was amazing and delicious.

This may be more of a "DVD extra" but when I originally looked up the QB many of the top-ranked items were breakfasts and some were p-zza (reverse SEO). Based only on lower-left menu placement I would say don't go that route and that specials are a good bet. Again this is only based on 1.5 bites but the eggplant parm special had great sauce. I'm undecided on the watermelon granita which wasn't all that watermelony but spicy dessert was different. I was surprised by how much I liked the edamame, since you can get that everywhere, but the Japanese 7-spice add an intriguing citrus kick.

    The Food The cooking…read morehere is the real thing -- not the flattened, one-note version of Indian food that so many places settle for, where everything arrives tasting vaguely of the same sauce. At Tikka n' Talk, the spicing has genuine architecture. Each dish has its own personality, its own balance, its own arc from first bite to last. You taste individual spices rather than a generic wall of heat, and there's a depth underneath that only comes from someone who actually knows what they're doing. The tikka is outstanding and lives up to the name -- properly charred at the edges, smoky from real high-heat cooking, and still tender inside. That combination is harder to pull off than it looks, and getting it right every time takes skill. The curries have body and complexity. Sauces that have clearly been built rather than assembled, with layers that reveal themselves as you eat. Nothing is greasy, nothing is heavy in the bad way, and nothing tastes like it came out of a can. The bread deserves its own mention. Fresh, blistered, warm -- the kind you keep tearing off pieces of long after you're full. The Room and the Service The name isn't accidental. This is a place designed for lingering, and the atmosphere delivers on it. Warm, comfortable, and genuinely welcoming without being fussy. It's the kind of room where conversation flows easily, where you settle in without noticing an hour has passed. The staff are a huge part of that. Warm, attentive without hovering, and clearly happy you came. They know the menu cold and will steer you well if you ask -- including on spice levels, which they'll actually calibrate to what you want rather than defaulting to whatever's easiest. That kind of care shows up everywhere in the experience. Food comes out hot, timed well, and exactly as ordered. Basic things, but plenty of places fail at them. The Bottom Line Tikka n' Talk is the rare restaurant that's excellent on every axis at once -- the cooking is skilled, the room is inviting, and the people running it obviously care. It's become a regular for us, and I recommend it without hesitation to anyone who asks where to eat. If you haven't been, go. Order more than you think you need. Stay a while -- the name is an instruction, and it's good advice. Highest possible recommendation.
