The Roost — Restaurant in Donnelly

I was looking forward to trying The Roost because of a menu that I saw online.

My first impression walking in the door was that there were more flies in the place than there were customers.

Once we arrived, I discovered that the items that I wanted to try had been removed at some point by way of scratching them off each menu with a Sharpie.

So we moved on and chose other items and we were promptly told that they had ran out of the ingredients to make a French Dip, no turkey for a Club sandwich, and no Jo-jo's.

By now we were fairly annoyed but we decided to make the best of it and chose chicken strips and a club sandwich without the turkey. We waited what seemed like an unreasonably long time for these particular menu items but they did finally arrive.

I'll start with my husband dinner. The chicken strips were obviously Banquet or Tyson Brand frozen strips that were overcooked into submission to the point of being inedible. The tater tots came out of the kitchen with absolutely no seasoning or salt of any kind.

My Club sandwich upon first glance looked great. My biggest complaint was that I think the cook used a concrete trowel to add the mayo! The bread and meat has no ability to stay stationary. It was a landslide!

Needless to say. We left without finishing either meal.

We've been on a 22 day road trip and this was hands down the most disappointing restaurant we've been to in 4 states and the worst meal that we've had...

Mid day, not to busy. Took 15 minutes to get drinks, 30 minutes to get 4 meals and another ten afterwards to get 2 orders of fries that were ordered with the four meals. No offer on refills, no checking up, my sandwich was stone cold when it reached me, odd for something made of chicken strips and cheese sticks. Nobody in the party of six got a single refill or more then one beer because we were not asked or offered one. The one mixed drink ordered was left over half unfinished because it was so aweful. Do not go here, it will waste over an hour of your time and leave you hungry...
