    New decor
    Kimberly M.

    After a long renovation, Roost is back, one of the most popular restaurants downtown Greenville #yeahthatGreenville It has been beautifully done and the open space is warm and inviting.. Brunch always draws a great crowd and we were right there in the thick of it, this glorious fall weekend. Amanda was our server and quickly got our drinks and made to order eggs going. Today's brunch had a great variety of selections of breakfast and lunch offerings. Stone ground cream grits, bacon, sausage potatoes and French toast. A huge cold bar full of fruits and veggies. Pulled pork, shrimp and grits, Mac and cheese and Brussels for the lunch side. At noon they were filling empty containers and keeping areas full. If you haven't been to Roost since they've reopened, come on out!!

    Aside from the stellar vibe, food and drinks, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the star of the show- our bartender Bobby. A consummate professional, super engaging, knowledgeable and really just a fun, super nice guy from the moment we first walked in the door yesterday afternoon. So great a time we had with him, we came back later for our unbelievable delicious dinner! We were visiting for a quick getaway from Savannah, and I can promise we'll be looking for him each and every time we come back. He's a tremendous asset to this establishment! Please tell him Gwen and Gary miss him already!

    Dulce de leche cake

    I had the Cioppino as entree and for dessert the dulce de leche cake. The food was delicious! My waiter Brady was friendly. The place was very clean and the service was excellent. Highly recommend this place when visiting Greenville.

Excellent dining experience at Christmas Eve!!!! Highly recommend The Roost Restaurant!!! Kudos to Alston and my compliments to your Chef and kitchen staff!!!

    The food we had was all very good !! I really enjoyed the spicy huckleberry margarita. Service was outstanding and I would return back !!

    Trout

    Excellent dishes . We had the wings, mussels, trout , and wedge salad. All very well executed. Next I would do the white wine butter instead of red curry on mussels as it was too hot. Trout portion huge and delicious! Service and ambience great as well. We will be back. Also solid bourbon selection.

    Fig old fashioned and isn't she a peach

    We sat outside on the patio during the Main Street Friday's blues concert. Great service, cocktails, food and overall vibe! Can't wait to come back

    A great dinner for one at the bar

    I walked over from my hotel and it was a great location for a nice dinner for one. The service was friendly. The atmosphere had a cool fun but chill vibe. The good was really good!

    Bread loaf ~ delicious with whipped butter & olive oil.

    Had a wonderful evening at the recently re-opened Roost ! Amanda was our waitress &she was wonderful, the food was surprisingly delicious and reasonably priced! We had mussels and the bread plus a few drinks during Fri night NOMA Oktober Festival! Lotsa fun, great food, great service !

Said they could cook my bacon on the griddle away from other things . Explained that everything on the jam bar was gluten free and even had a sign asking customers to not have their plates near the bar for fear of cross contamination. You go in, stand in a line and order. Plenty of seating , great music, and delicious gluten free biscuits!!! I am not celiac , very gluten intolerant.

Rather it's savory or sweet, this place has your biscuit desires covered. I have been here four times and always left happy. Their biscuits are crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Only complaint is that they are slightly dry. Probably just need a bit more butter right? Lol. Though the biscuits are not the best I have had, the overall experience is very good. Though no longer on the menu, you can still order the Biscuit w/ Gravy Flight, which is one of my favorite things here. They're all pretty delicious, but that sausage gravy really enhances the biscuit since it takes away some of that dryness. Of the sandwiches, I love the Fried Bologna Benedict the most. My least favorite is the extra salty Country Ham Biscuit. The Mimosa Fried Chicken Sandwich is not bad either, but order it without that sweet sauce on top. And if you like simple, just get a biscuit with some sausage and eggs. Don't forget, they have a whole jams and spreads station. Make sure to take advantage of that for a sweet finish. I personally enjoy the Peach Rosemary, Strawberry, and Sweet Potato Chai. Btw, extremely sweet and kind service. I had a cappuccino that was a bit too light. I offered to pay for an extra espresso shot. Instead of charging me, the server sent me back with a brand new cup of cappuccino with the extra shot. Then she stopped by to ask if it was made properly three minutes later. Every time I have been to Greenville, I have made a pitstop here. This factory of biscuits may not be the best around, but I just appreciate the atmosphere and friendly service. By no means am I saying their biscuits are not good because I would be extremely ecstatic if we had something similar in NYC.

North St. based on the 4.5 Yelp rating. What's going on here? Are these reviews being artificially boosted? I genuinely had to look at my phone to make sure I'd come to the right place based on expectations vs. reality. We ordered the biscuits and gravy with eggs and chicken. The chicken was a had an odd mushy/spongy texture -- a couple of tenders unceremoniously dropped on the plate and nothing like in any of the marketing photos -- and the gravy was not very flavorful at all. Someone else in my party got the chicken and waffles -- their chicken was better than mine, but still completely unimpressive. I also have to say, unfortunately, that the staff is not on their game. We had communication problems with the person taking our order, and the self-bussing area was overflowing with dirty forks and plates. This is a corporate slop establishment, and Greenville has at least a dozen breakfast spots, especially locally-owned ones, that are miles better than this. I regret not looking a bit harder for a better local spot.

I went at 11am on a Sunday during peak church hours and though we have 15 reservations ahead of us, we only waited for 20 minutes or so, The food is really good. My friend thought her omelette and potatoes were great. The blueberry waffles I thought were good.

If you are looking for a place to take the family to, especially when the grandparents are involved, this is a great option.

The only thing that I would change is the waiting area and being limited to only checking in through their tablet. There should be a way to check in without confirming at the tablet, to which there's always a crowd in front of.
