Roast — Restaurant in Scotland

I feel bad giving this rating because I've had so many tasty meals from this place. Roast used to be the absolute pinnacle for sandwiches on argyl street and finnieston but I've had more than a few lacklustre visits post COVID and I don't think the shop has really recovered or boomed.

I ordered a sandwich(without cucumber )and soup, got home to discover cucumber on the sandwich. Not a Biggie but kinda annoying. I've had a few moments like this in the last year. No sauce, wrong bread, mayo/when asked for none. Even once I didn't have potato scone on a black pudding potato scone order.

Mostly I can overlook those odd mistakes as I've been a regular for years and never has issue.

Staff turnover seems a little high so maybe it's related to that. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming but the general standard has changed a bit. It's no longer relaxing to sit in because of the temporary till/cash desk near the door. And the front area is sort of crammed with stock as they seem to be running out of space.

was much nicer to sit in when the bar stool and table area was available.

Brisket is also almost never available when requested so not sure if they should remove from menu. Original selling point of this place was how good their Roasts menu was. Not sure that's the focus any more.

All in all I'd still reccomend trying as it's still really good food, friendly people and...

Roast ! Their breakfast sandwiches have got to be in the top three in Glasgow. Engineering wise that roll will take a lot of punishment. Link sausage, black pudding, fried egg, mushroom, brown and red sauce well handled. Puts it up there with the beloved stottie cake. Belter 😁 What can I say about their lunchtime sandwiches that hasn't already been said. Winner Winner Piri-Piri Chicken Dinner/Tea/Lunch/Brunch/Brinner ! They're lovely folk in there, even the young whippersnapper that calls me "big chap" 🤣 To be fair I mentioned this to Karl Pilkington and he said I could stand to lose a stone or three. What does he know...

Not been in here for a while - extremely disappointing to be honest - staff very unfriendly and took 10 minutes to ask me if I've ordered - one had her hair tied back - the other didn't and was serving customers at the door whilst playing with her hair - shocking for a person to be serving food as such - had a breakfast roll - egg overcooked and items were quite dry - as if being lying in hot holding for a while - I used to visit this place regularly bit moved away recently - will defos not be returning again anytime soon - management need to review their staff...
