Roost — Restaurant in Jacksonville

My wife and I ordered a lot of food to try this place out. The sandwiches were amazing, very crunchy and saucy. I got the Nashville while she got the Carolina. The spice on my sandwich was enjoyable while hers was delectably sweet. We also tried the wings because it's a chicken place but they were just standard wings you can get from a pizza restaurant. They were a bit over cooked and hard to eat because of how chewy they were. I had the Carolina reaper and my wife got BBQ. The Carolina reaper sauce was left lacking it was spicy but not thick while the BBQ was divine. It was thick, savory, rich and very very flavorful overall. As for sides we got the jalapeno poppers and curly fries. We enjoyed both. The fries were well cooked and very crunchy just like they should be. In conclusion this place was pretty good. As I picked up the food, the inside looked clean and entertaining. Their food was flavorful excluding the overcooked wings but I think they have a missed opportunity on not including a boneless option on their menu. We would definitely go back for...

WOW! It’s nice to have a place to grab a quick bite that’s right in between my home and the office.

I’ve been in three times and tried their three chicken sandwiches. Service was prompt- I was served in 5-8 minutes or less. Food quality was high. Sandwiches are a great size, were served HOT, and the sides were great. Flavor is absolutely there.

My favorite so far is “The Nashville”. They warn you, it is spicy. I thought it was the perfect blend of flavor- hot, seasoned, and juicy. Second favorite was definitely “The Carolina”. The sauce was sweet, but not overwhelming- it complimented the seasoning well. Presentation was awesome. Can’t go wrong with the classic either. Simple sandwich and of course tasted great.

Prices were appropriate for the portions. Staff was attentive. Owners seemed present and appreciative.

Glad to see this place has been busy. Jacksonville needs more successful local businesses. Can’t wait to...

We ordered the Carolina, Nashville, chicken tenders and waffle fries. The Nashville is probably my favorite because I like spicy and it hits the spot while cooling down with a ranch slaw. The Carolina is less spicy and has a sweet tangy flavor which was also very good. This place is small but don’t get deterred because the food is delicious. If you’re craving a really good fried chicken sandwich this is the place to go! They also gave us a token for 10% off next time we come. I will be saving...
