The Roost Carolina Kitchen

I LOVE that they let you substitute a veggie chicken patty at no extra charge. You can order any biscuit sandwich with the Veggie chicken patty and it's so good, it seems house made as well because it doesn't have that frozen Veggie patty look or taste to it. The chocolate chip bread pudding is a great dessert option if you're still hungry after all the good food!

This place turns out some of the freshest fried chicken this part of town. The menu is limited, but that's good because what they do, they do really well. The Nashville hot is a great saucy number, especially as a breakfast sandwich (c'mon, eggs, bacon and cheese...why not?). The mac and cheese is creamy goodness that blends just the right balance of real and processed cheese (this is a good thing, the way it's done in the south). I'm also a big fan of the peach cobbler. The wait is way shorter at their new(ish) Roscoe location, but you can also order ahead online or by phone so it's fresh when you arrive. Their location is really nice to just sit down and relax, with big windows at the front and a kids games area at the back. During the warmer months they also have a nice patio area out front.

First visit here and it was fantastic! Had a Carolina Style chicken sandwich on a biscuit and it was incredibly tasty. Got y The Carolina Hot heat level which was great but I'll go level 4 next time. That said, love really spicy hot food. Great fries as a side, and they give you a ton of them! Will definitely be back.

Sinfully good! Have NEVER had a bad experience here. All of the chicken sandwiches are FIRE. I'm partial to the Carolina style because who doesn't love pimento and hot honey? All the sides are also bomb, makes it hard to pick a favorite, but also keeps you rotating your selections. Simple menu, food is made with love, and service is always surprisingly fast and friendly. Also, no need to be afraid of the plant based chicken sandwich, it can really compete with the other options on the menu and is a favorite of my vegetarian partner in Roscoe Village. Wish it was less calories so I could justify coming here more often!

This place was excellent. Walked in and was immediately seated. Ordered a chicken sandwich with chocolate chip bread pudding and fries. The sandwich was Nashville Hot Chicken Carolina Style (jalapeño pimento cheese and hot honey) on a biscuit. It was amazing. Great fries and bread pudding to go with it. I also ordered a beer. The beer and food all came to the table in less than 5 minutes. The hot honey on the chicken sandwich was amazing and the hot honey that spilled off the sandwich and onto the fries was also great. Loved this meal. Also liked that the restaurant was family friendly and had a little play area for kids. Great place. Can’t wait to go back and try the boozy shakes.
