11/10! Super helpful staff as we were first timers! The interior is super cute and has a cozy but enough space vibes! The menu had plenty of really good options including different heat options and sauces! The sides choices was perfect. We loved the Mac and cheese and grits, oh and the deviled eggs were YUMMY!! Fountain drinks were perfect! Thank you for the perfect outdoor seating for our whole family and help from start to finish! read more

I was excited to try this place because the reviews seemed decent and I'm a sucker for fried chicken. The two girls working the front of the house was super pleasant and I felt welcomed. The interior felt comfortable and cozy. My chicken unfortunately was so dry and I was so underwhelmed. It didn't even have any distinct flavor/seasoning so I was very disappointed and wished I didn't waste a meal here. I don't think I'll be back. read more

We come here for one reason mostly, the chicken and waffles. Crispy, fluffy, sweet, and salty perfection. I've tried to order other things, but why mess with greatness? Service is quick and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is open and clean with outdoor seating as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Roost Fried Chicken - Chicken and Waffles - Southern Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

The two sweet gals working the register were great! The food was good... but not stellar. I felt like the chicken was a little dry.

Had to stop and try here as we were driving down past and saw it was on Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives! It didn't disappoint. We had chicken tenders, deviled eggs, macaroni, and mashed potatoes and tried the house comeback sauce, and honey mustard. All was served so fresh, warm and so tasty!!!! The service was so good the lady the checked us out was so kind! Prices were reasonable and portions were large. We would definitely return as we left stuffed and happy! Yum! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a cute chicken place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Chicken is juicy and delicious. Fries are crispy, ranch tastes wonderfully homemade. Staff is friendly as well. If you're in Bozeman and craving some fried chicken, head this way. read more

The food was amazing. Staff was friendly and had great suggestions since we hadn't been there before. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had a pet friendly eating area outside with water bowls (we had brought our own, but appreciated the gesture).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We would definitely eat there again if back in the area. read more

I think they definitely should have less children working there. Maybe someone of age to look over orders and food. The boy wiped the whole glass of spicy chicken across my husbands jacket in his words "sorry bro" never very professional. Also maybe have hair net on his hair was very long to be serving food and some gloves would help too. My order was messed up and they just wanted to give me sauce to pour in when I I ordered spicy chicken read more

Very disappointed. Use to love this place. Last time visited received the wrong salad. Had to wait 20 minutes for new one. Then had to wait another 20 minutes for the fries chicken on top. Was told manager would reach out. They never did read more

Went here a few years ago and have been craving it ever since! I almost re-routed out of my way on my way home from a trip to Montana to go here but recognized it wasn't reasonable. Delicious chicken, delicious waffles, delicious Mac and cheese bites, great drink options. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Friendly staff and plenty of seating indoor and outdoor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I can't wait to go back read more

We have this little thing where we like as foodies to try as many Guy Fieri Diner's Drive In's and Dive's adventures. Relying on fellow Yelp reviews, we happened to stumble across Roost Fried Chicken unbeknownst at first that it happened to be a triple D visit on season 29 episode 2. We were pleasantly surprised and if given the opportunity, we definitely will visit again. Service was great and food was terrific. We had a (1/2 a bucket) 4 piece classic fried chicken meal with double collard greens, because if you know me, I'm a green fanatic. We also got the Alabama Sammy with extra pickles with a side of Mac & cheese. The Alabama had a nicely grilled bun on both sides which gave a nice crunch as you took a bite. It was like a heavenly creamy chicken salad sandwich without fruit or nuts. The pickle slices added a nice tang and the white sauce had a bit of pleasant heat at the end. The Mac & cheese sadly was rather plain and dry. Maybe just an off day for it. Now back to the stars of the show. The chicken was so moist, flavorful and delicious, we regretted only getting a 4 piece. My hubby was sympathetic to me eyeing him devouring his chicken, so he shared a leg with me. Now let m tell you, I'm one to get picked on for "not knowing how to properly pick a chicken bone clean." I'm pretty sure not a shred of any chicken remnants were left on that leg bone. Really THAT delicious! And the collard greens....perfectly seasoned (I love heavy handed course ground black pepper and it certainly was.) Now, if only Roost Fried Chicken can hook a sister up and do some overnight delivery I'd be ecstatic. And lastly, try their homemade hand squeezed fresh lemonade served in a mason jar. Refreshing and the perfect accompaniment to our meal. They also served freshly brewed unsweetened as well as southern sweet tea. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They do have a nice outside patio with several tables and chairs to visit and make new friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tables are inside as well but we went on a gorgeous day and several patrons chose the outside seating option.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

They have lost the special charm. The food is now bland and has no flavor.the cashier had no clue and was going motions.

The chicken was over cooked, biscuit very small and coleslaw too spicy. I have been in past and really enjoyed but quality was down

Roost Fried Chicken - Fried green tomatoes - Southern Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

Not the best chicken I have had and definitely not the best service. The first time I came to Bozeman was 2020 and I came back in 2023 and the town is booming. Over tourism has definitely caused sub par eateries. The chicken I got tasted like it has been sitting there awhile, fries were cold and soda was flat. Not a good combination. The star of the show was the biscuit that came with my meal. Parking was hectic as it is a small lot and limited seating instead as well. Located on a Main Street in Bozeman. When in the area, I probably wouldn't go back. Super chix in town is good. Make the drive to Whitehall and check out two bit saloon for good chicken! read more

Stopped in for a late lunch while driving through town. Had the Carolina BBQ sandwich (a hearty piece of chicken with a wonderful coating and the sauce was wonderfully tangy and went well with the coleslaw) and the chicken strips (perfectly cooked, juicy and tender with a nice, crunchy coating). The folks were so polite and [[HIGHLIGHT]]there was a perfect spot to sit outside with our dog[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. read more

Really tasty! I got the sweet heat fried chicken with a side of collard greens and Mac & cheese. The Mac wasn't too flavorful, but the collard greens and chicken were wonderful.

Biscuits are good but the okra was chewy chicken was ok it's a cute little place but for the price I was really expecting it to be great

After a great movie, I was looking for a nice chicken salad. Found The Roost and they weren't far away. They have a nice little parking lot for you to park and quickly get in and out. Be mindful that other businesses share the space. Be sure to park in the correct area. Signage is up for you to obey I was immediately greeted and acknowledged and the cashier let me know they would be right with me. I ordered and collected my letter. Shortly afterwards someone brought my food over to where I was waiting. Plenty of seating inside for small groups. Larger groups may want to order to go! The salad was presented very well. The bacon was generous!!!! And I love bacon. The chicken was crisp and coating tasty. The dressing delicious.The flavors combined made for an amazing lunch! Would definitely be a go to for great meaty salads ( or no meat if you're vegetarian) read more

Roost fried chicken made me wanna jump on the table and Cock-A-Doodle-Doo! Best den chicken west of the Mississippi! Had to fly into Bozeman before hitting Yellowstone so we dropped in for a bite. The kind lady took our order and handed us metal number for our chow. As we waited on the outdoor patio we soaked up the southern decor and even the Guy Triple D dude decorated pan which made me laugh. This place so good it didn't need that punk in the building. Our meals arrived and we gobbled don't chicken ( drumsticks for FRANK B ) coleslaw and homemade biscuits. And to wash my meal down I slurped the most southern of drink a Dr Pepper! Needless to say we LOVED this joint. Moist fried chicken to start off our trip was satisfying and warranted after our early wake up to fly out. But we need one dining experience wasn't enough so we hit it for a encore on the way back from Yellowstone! Folks if you need that southern home cooking well if you find yourself in Montana make sure you bookmark this a highlight to enjoy! Frank B over and out from Montana! read more

We live in Belgrade and we're excited to try this restaurant because you can't find very many good chicken places in Belgrade or Bozeman Montana. We were really excited first off. We had to wait a 40 min because they said they had shortstaffed. We ordered the original chicken and they said it would take longer which it did take an abundance time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There were a bunch of young girls there and all they did was talk and gossip the whole time super loud[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] when they finally called my order up they said that I could have another side. I ordered the half bucket I had got okra, which was cold and day old tasting. The Coleslaw, which had so much mayonnaise in it, it was like soup and then my Free one, because they took so long was, potatoes and gravy. That was the only thing in the whole meal that was worth eating. The chicken was so greasy tasted truly disgusting. I really think that this place might have it going at times but it sure wasn't the time we went which was Tuesday, December 9 approximately 530. read more

We hadn't been in Bozeman more than 34 minutes and I thought to myself, I bet Guy Fieri has been to this place. I was right, and noticed he had done a whole episode here. The other spot looks small and better for breakfast, but my wife and I immediately raced over to Roost fried chicken before they closed on a Monday evening. So glad we did, because the chicken here is amazing. There weren't many sides that I love, but that worked out in our favor because, while I don't usually eat mac & cheese, this little bowl of heaven was eaten clean by yours truly, especially with the green onions and bacon mixed in. They even included 1 piece of okra on the platter and I tried that for the first time. Let me tell you, I might've made a mistake, not to have gotten those things fried, rather than the fries, which is kind of too familiar as you might imagine. read more

Casual yummy spot for fried chicken, and we ordered the 8 strips meal with coleslaw and mac n cheese, with a couple biscuits. Chicken pieces were large and juicy inside, light crispy exterior, good flavors. Coleslaw was okay, mac n cheese was good though the green onion threw me off a bit. read more

Roost Fried Chicken - 8 classic strips meal with coleslaw and mac n cheese - Southern Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

Best chicken in Bozeman, but not the best I've had in Montana. If it weren't for the chicken being so fantastic I'd have left 3 stars. Took twice as long to get my order as it was supposed to (50 minutes total). The staff was apologetic and polite about it. After I got my food I wished I had just gotten chicken. The fries weren't that great, and the Mac and cheese tasted unseasoned. I'll give the collard greens a chance next time. Alabama white sauce and Carolina gold were delicious, the Nashville hot was surprisingly authentic. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, a cozy little spot to hang out and get some fried chicken.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

It is counter service I understand it's hard get help, The young man taking my order was very helpful, I wanted two thighs and two legs with mashed potatoes as combo he said he couldn't do that,but did it ala carte it was actually cheaper My wife and I have been on a 3,000 mile road trip hands down the best bite we've had the chicken was juicy and crispy some of the best fried chicken I've ever eaten and the mashed potatoes awesome. A very clean restaurant has homey feeling. Thanks for the experience Roost. read more

This review was really more for those who are ordering takeout. While I've had some good experiences here when I'm dining in, my experiences when I'm taking food back not so good. They put the food in Styrofoam packaging and the problem with is that the heat from inside the package has no way to escape, and therefore the resulting steam inside makes the chicken soggy and you lose the expected crispness. The other issue I have with roosters is that the last couple times I've ordered to go is that they never seem to get the order right. For example, I today ordered a two- piece chicken and asked for one breast and one thigh. I got one breast but one leg. Also, I've mentioned before there are no napkins no utensils so if you're staying in hotel, you have to borrow some from the front desk or figure out how you can eat this food with your fingers. My recommendation is eat there and don't take the food back to your hotel or home; or, open up your containers so that the heat can escape a little bit and not steam the food within the package. read more

Ive tried to contact the store multiple times and I never receive an answer, I can't leave a message because the mail box is full. This is the 3rd time now i've ordered pick up from this place and told all items were in the bag and I was missing multiple. I have tried to like this place but it seems everytime they're in a rush. I'd recommend you open your bags before you leave especially when you're paying for them read more

Some questionable service and delayed/cold food put a bit of a stinker on the situation. Portion sizes seemed inconsistent. But there were really bright spots here. The dark meat, mac, and mashed, were all standouts and clearly why this place has a following. read more

Whenever we travel somewhere, if there is a DDD location near by, we are sure to check em out. This was the case with Roost Fried Chicken. We ordered a bucket of chicken with sides of fries, coleslaw and a biscuit. We also ordered a few of their sauces. The fries and slaw were just alright. Usually I am a big fan of most french fries however these were just ok. The no questioned star of the show was that fried chicken. Easily some of the best fried chicken that we have ever had! The chicken was crispy. Each piece was juicy including the white meat. I would not be surprised if they brine their chicken. What made it even better was how flavorful that chicken was. The chicken was seasoned perfectly. This was not just fried chicken, it was well seasoned and juicy fried chicken. Tasted like garlic and paprika and maybe some onion. Really some excellent fried chicken. If we have the opportunity to go back, we would skip the sides and just order chicken and their fresh squeezed lemonade. We ordered a couple glasses of that lemonade and it was as good as I have had at any State Fair. Really refreshing. Excellent fried chicken and fresh squeezed lemonade, doesn't get any better than that. read more

Roost Fried Chicken - Excellent chicken. Biscuit was ok and the sauces were decent - Southern Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

Roost was recommended and thought we'd give it a try rather than the various chains located close by. First impression is that the space is small. We visited during the first snow storm of the year and could tell there was a pretty large sized patio but in the winter, space is limited. Parking lot is also very small and shared with another spot across the lot. Upon entering the menu is printed large and in the wall so easy to decide while waiting in line. There is one register and a pretty steady flow of traffic. After we placed our order we grabbed a table and waited about 15 min for our freshly made fritters, popcorn chicken bowl and chicken and waffles. Fritters we're good but the sauce, sweet heat, was recommended as a 5/10 spiciness and I would say was more like an 8! We quickly opted out of using the sauce. Unfortunately they needed "something" so wouldn't get them again. The popper bowl was not a bowl at all but rather just popcorn chicken on top of a pretty sparse plate of fries. We went with Carolina gold sauce and it was a delicious sauce. Overall a solid choice but not a bowl and not a lot of food for $10. Chicken and waffles were a highlight. Both were cooked perfectly and the pecan butter and maple syrup were great finishing touches. It is a pretty good size too and big enough to share with someone if you add a side or a starter. Overall, this spot wasn't a slam dunk but still pretty solid choice. I'd visit again but maybe when weather was nicer to guarantee more seating or just get it to go. read more
