Great atmosphere. Clean restaurant. Not too long of a wait and good food. The only reason it's not 5 stars is because there isn't enough seating during the busy time we came. read more

Can someone tell me what the heck is going on with roost these days? The last two weekends we have gone in there and breakfast will take up to thirty minutes to get. People are walking out. Ok Mother's Day I can understand but today the place was moderately busy and still 30 minutes to cook eggs and toast? read more

This small hip eatery is a locally owned restaurant. It is super casual and you order up at The counter. They did forget my pico de gallo with my omelette. Overall I would say it's a decent restaurant for the area. It's pretty much self-service but they do come and clean up your plates at the end. Would recommend for breakfast. read more

Roost Chicken Salad & Deli - Brisket Omlette - Delis Near Me - Longview, Texas

Whoever the general manager is for this place needs to quit. Servers are doing their best but are clearly set up for failure by having to deal with the poor logistics that they can't control. read more

Chicken salads are dry, but everything else has been really good! Yelp won't post without an extra 85 characters....so here they are. read more

Usually when I come here I end up getting breakfast. Their breakfast in my opinion is okay. I do usually tend to choose IHOP over this place. Today my husband and I tried the chicken salad for the first time and we were both a bit disappoint, especially since this is what they were known for! I got the avocado chicken salad on sourdough and it was very dry and had no flavor. Would not recommend trying this one! However I did try the one my husband ordered, he got the buffalo chicken salad. I would recommend this and I would personally get this the next time. With that being said overall this place is okay. Food seems basic to me. Not terrible, but not the best. (I've tried this place 3 times and I end up saying the same thing) Maybe I just haven't tried the right thing here? Service was good and love the ambiance of this place. read more

In the many time's, that I've eaten here, today I was disappointed in the service and the food. My fried egg had runny white, my ham was somewhat cold and had more fat than previously eaten, my coffee cup was chipped and when I asked about getting another non-chipped cup, the girl said that was how a lot of the cups were. I hope that this was just an isolated incident. Also, when the coffee ran out I asked about it and was told that the staff would get around to it. After several minutes, I asked a different girl and she promptly went and got a new, refilled container of coffee. I plan to return and hope things will be better and hopefully will find chip-free coffee cups. read more

Eaten here probably 4 or 5 times and had something different each time. I've never had anything that wasn't good. I especially like the breakfast. Everything tastes so fresh! read more

I got the senior breakfast "deal". The ham and bacon so so minus is best rating I can give. By the time I got my breakfast it was like warm at best. Potatoes are like cubed French fries. Mine were cold French fries.(Yuck) The Place was Jamed but I think I prefer ihop. Bacon had liquid smoke over smoke flavor. I asked for extra crispy but mine was not so I got Wierd chopped up ham. Doesn't even rate ho hum. IHOP next time. Don't think there are very good breakfast places in Longview, which is reason for so many people here. People seem to socialize in this place. Reasonable prices just not my cup of tea. read more

They have done away with most of the chicken salad. The service was good. Food quality was just basic. My biscuit was the last one they said and you could take the grave was old and warmed up. I wish they had more chicken salad options that was the reason I went. read more

Food was like you'd cook at home. I had the brisket omelette (had a huge chunk of fat in it) but overall flavored well. Cinnamon roll was decent, could've been more moist. I'd come back. read more

I rate restaurants on 4 core values which is Customer Service, Taste of food, Price & Cleanliness. Service - Customer service was good. You pay at register and they bring you food out right away. Taste - I liked it overall but the omelet was a little dry but overall was very tasty Value - For 2 adult meals, spent $21.00 with coffee Cleanliness- very clean inside and out. Overall - I recommend this place. Food is tasteful and delicious, you'll come out happy. read more

The Roost in consistently great. Whether you're in the mood for breakfast or lunch, the time doesn't matter because both are served all day and delicious! read more

Enjoyed the food. Gumbo was some of the best we have had. Will return and will bring friends.

I've been there twice now and it does NOT disappoint. The food is SO good! Gumbo is on point!

We love the good here. We came for breakfast. We did not receive our toast till 5 minutes of receiving our meal. Then we had to ask for butter. The butter was so hard, we couldn't spread it on our toast. This is the second and last time coming here. read more

As out of towners, this was our first time eating here. It was delicious and I loved the atmosphere. My daughter said she could go back everyday! read more

Excellent food and atmosphere. Clean and well kept. Service was attentive and friendly. A nice alternative to the IHOP and Waffle House drivel. I usually eat here when I am in Longview. The coffee is bland. read more

Just moved to Texas and wanted to try new stuff that also allows me to stay with my dietary restrictions because of my health. I had gotten the Jalapeno chicken scoop salad, cause I thought there was no celery in it. But as I was eating it, I just so happened to look down and saw celery pieces in it. I am highly allergic celery. I just wish there menus had what is in their scoops before giving it to people. read more

I placed a last minute order for a tray of mini croissant sandwiches for the super bowl today at the Longview location. I haven't eaten at Roost in years and the last time was under different ownership at the Tyler location. We got Honey Walnut, Thai Peanut and .... southern, maybe? It is way more food than we needed buuut that's a good thing because I've already eaten three & set a few aside for lunch tomorrow. I can't pick a favorite but I can tell you it's all delicious. Kari recognized me as I walked in the door and met me in the dining room with my order. They had a line of guests waiting to order breakfast & I didn't have to wait to take my order home! It's a definite plus that the food is good, but.. when you've got good people, everything else just seems to fall into place. Thanks to Kari, Manny, & their team for a great spread. We'll be back soon. read more

Roost Chicken Salad & Deli - the inside of a plastic container - Delis Near Me - Longview, Texas

Visiting Longview Texas and decided to order a quick lunch to be delivered. My daughter got a Cobb salad with raspberry vinaigrette dressing and I chose a BLT with pasta salad. We also ordered broccoli cheese soup. My daughter said the salad had a "weird taste," but it had blue cheese crumbles in it so maybe she didn't like that with the raspberry dressing. The BLT was large, with a lot of bacon. It fell apart in the to-go box because there was no wrapping or anything holding it together. But, it was easily put back in place and it was very good. The pasta salad was very oily. It had a good taste, but just very greasy. The soup...They must have been out of broccoli cheese soup because, although the receipt had "ask soup" on it, no one called to ask my second choice. They gave me what must have been chicken tortilla. I'm so glad they were out of our first choice because this chicken tortilla was some of the best I've ever had...big pieces of chicken and corn in a nice creamy soup. Yum. I'd definitely order it next time. All in all we'd go back. We just might forego blue cheese crumbles and the pasta salad. read more

The food tasted good. But all i'm asking is for a lil honesty. Online menu says "3 slices" for french toast plate. In person and online ordering says 4 slices. i'm thinking sweet better than i expected. So that's what i order. First off, it came way latter than my sides. But then i get it - it's two slices, cut in half. That's not what was offered but that's how they do it here I guess. If they took me to the back and showed me that's how their bread comes in some weird triangle shape, then fine I'd give it to them. But you're being dishonest. Just call it a half slice and it be all good. No one anyone calls a half slice a whole slice except here. The person dropping the food off offered to bring another slice (I guess two slices by their definition) when I ask curiously if the order was correct. So at least that was nice. The high top seats were not comfortable. i sat outside til a booth opened up. read more

I heard about the chicken salad and had to check it out and wasn't impressed, and it's way overpriced. Nothing special about this place.

I love eating here! Sometimes I eat in house and sometimes I eat to go. Either way is fine, no issues. I enjoy eating here for breakfast lunch or dinner. Lol I get the Texas breakfast. It's a perfect mix for breakfast! They have great tuna and chicken salad my husband says. As a family our kids enjoy here too and get excited. Highly recommend! Food really is amazing and the staff is kind! read more

Absolutely terrible sandwiches. Mine had a side that was completely burned. My partner's was soaked with juice and fell apart. We were in a hurry, ate the inside parts we could, and will not be trying this place again. read more

I got pancake combo with eggs, potatoes, and bacon. The made my pancakes chocolate chip and they were delicious. My pancakes were fluffy, light, chocolatey and so delicious! They're huge and I couldn't finish all of them. The eggs and potatoes were OK, nothing some salt and pepper couldn't fix. I wish they had put a to more seasoning on the eggs and potatoes. The bacon was perfection though. The service was good and my food came out quickly. I would recommend giving it a try. read more

I am addicted to this place I love the chicken salad, the pasta salad, omg and the French toast, the pineapple upside pancakes I can keep bragging but if you go try it you will never regret it !! And the prices aren't bad either read more

The food was ok. The wait time was ok. Not enough meat choices. Service was good. The ambiance was ok.

We have said it before on past reviews. The Roost is hands down the best restaurant in customer service and food... We would like to give a special thanks to Sam today.. She gave us special attention without asking and treated my mother in law who came in independently with the best of service... Thanks for having caring employees.. read more

I'm a big chicken salad type of guy and I gotta say, Roost is on point! We got two scoops of chicken salad (avocado & Thai peanut) on toasted sour dough and boy was it delicious and the strawberry-grape salad in a sweet sour cream was a great compliment to the savory sandwich. We will definitely be back to try out more! read more

We ordered breakfast and coffee. The self-serve coffee was cold and the waitress offered to microwave it!! We thought she would be making some fresh to replace it-wrong. When a refill was needed there was still no coffee being made. By now our food was gone. This is totally unacceptable. We are regular customers but don't know if we will ever go back. read more

Prepare to wait if you come on a Sunday around lunchtime. Understaffed. Food is okay. Food comes out one plate at a time.

Some really good chicken salad, I've tried barbecue, regular and the grape and apple one and I have liked them all. All the breakfast I've tried is really good too. read more

Great food! Great customer service!! Sooo many options! Always friendly even though they r always busy!!! We have tried bfast & lunch- never disappoints! read more

We had breakfast there and boy howdy was it tasty! I had the seniors special breakfast--eggs, bacon, country potatoes and a pancake and coffee--delicious and quite the deal. Hubby had the same but with French toast instead of pancake. Both were hot and fresh and yummy! Service was great (it's a walk up to order but they serve you at your table) service was friendly and helpful and ambiance was pleasant and we loved the background music. read more

I've eaten breakfast there twice. Once on a very busy Sunday about a week ago. They were out of butter and regular coffee cream. Otherwise, we thought the food was pretty good. We ate breakfast there again last Thursday morning and the food was good except my husbands's eggs were too runny. I asked him to let them know, but he said that he'd rather not. They were out of coffee cups and was going to give us styrofoam cups, but I said we would wait until they could wash some. They went back and got us some washed cups. Positive comments:The people are friendly. The food is good. Negative comments: I found it annoying that I had to set my own table, cause I kept forgetting things and had to get up often. However, I don't mind if they keep the prices down as the food is reasonably priced. I would like them to pull up there health report from a B to an A. The place looked clean enough, but I don't know how the kitchen looked, of course. Because I think they are really trying to make a good go of it, I'm going to give them 4 stars. I have not had their chicken salad, but heard it was good. read more

This place over and over again is amazing.. The owners are great and take a lot of pride in customer service

Great first experience. Did an online pickup order and it was ready when I arrived a few minutes before the estimated time. Had a 3 scoop chicken salad plate with a side & crackers. The flavor options are a great twist on standard chicken salad. Did the bacon cheddar ranch, Thai peanut & Buffalo. All 3 were great and was enough for 2 meals. Looking forward to my next visit. read more
