Roost Restaurant

I ate there recently with a group of girls. a few of us are celiac. We confirmed with the waitress and two of the meals were not gluten-free and had to be returned to the kitchen. Then they brought us to replacement meals, and both of us were sick in the afternoon.

— Good

Was excited to see all the gf options on the menu, but was definitely disappointed when many items had to be left off my order because they were fried in a shared fryer (mushrooms and peppers, potato hash, etc.). They did not go out of their way to offer replacements for the items that had to be left off either. Most were left off after I had specially asked about a fryer and told it was safe when I ordered only to find out when my food was delivered that it was not safe. Most items marked gf had some aspect of contamination making it unsafe. However, I did not get sick from what I was served and the food was excellently prepared.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I went here once and they just completely gave me the wrong pizza crust!! When I got sick that night, we called the next day and figured it out because the gf crust is a different shape than what I was given.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very knowledgeable staff. Fries are not made in a separate fryer. However they were able to tell us this.

GF pre-made pizza crust available. Had dinner with a friend who has celiacs. I had a bun-less burger and she ordered a GF pizza. However, she got a regular flat bread instead. After eating a couple of pieces she asked the waiter if he was positive the pizza was GF. He argued that she didn't order a GF pizza! No apologies, no refund, no remake, no complementary dessert, no effort made whatsoever to make it right (as if they really could have made it right). Perhaps he was just an incompetent server ... not worth the risk considering other great GF options in Greenville.

Celiac friendly?

No

My husband and I ate here today and it was great. I had the meatloaf from the dinner menu. It was delicious. The waiter was very accommodating. I also have corn and rice intolerances. It's been several hours and I'm feeling great! No reactions. We may just eat here again tomorrow.

The kitchen has a separate GF prep area. I have celiac disease and this is one of my favorite safe restaurants in Greenville.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have amazing GF flatbread. Only a few options but really good. They have other GF options too.
