Amazing gluten free options! I got a fried chicken sandwich that was delicious! Staff is super knowledgeable and kind. I love it when there is so many options it’s hard to choose one! Would be here every week if I lived closer.

They have a pretty large selection of GF items on their menu. I had the Beets, Bacon and Blue salad along with the Shrimp Fritters shareable plate. Both were delish!

We also split the GF Brownie Sunday for dessert. The brownie part was so-so but ice cream with all the different sauces was so good.

The waitstaff was really knowledgeable and let me know that they have a dedicated GF frier. We’ll definitely come back again to try some of the other options.

Lots of gf options with a dedicated fryer. Have been here multiple times and haven't gotten sick, I'm quite sensitive to cross contamination. Took a star off because it's quite expensive and the food is pretty good but not great.

The Roost was amazing! I got the short rib tacos with fries and told them I had gluten and dairy allergies. They were fantastic. Removed all dairy from the meal and it was so tasty. A little pricey but what isn’t these days?

We loved that GF items were marked here. There were options for my son, without feeling limited. The best part was, they had GF dessert options!! Something I haven't seen many places! He was excited to be able to order a gluten free brownie sundae! We will definitely return here! Staff was very helpful and friendly as well!

The Roost has a lot of GF options. And they have a dedicated GF fryer and grill that is used only for GF orders. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and if she was unsure about something she went and asked the kitchen manager. I felt very safe eating here

I was expecting more. The food was okay but not great, gluten free and otherwise. Drinks were very good.

Really good food! They have a gf fryer, gf beer from Holidaily, and most items on the menu are - or can be made - gluten free.

I had a salad, but tried cauliflower ceviche (very good) and the queso and chips were good. The waiter was excellent and everyone at our table was happy with their food. The gluten free brownie was so good, my grandkids ate most of it 😉

I ate ate the Roost twice with my sisters (who have celiac). We all got sick. We told the waiter and he told the kitchen, but there must have been some cross contamination. When I asked about cross contamination, I was told that there is a separate fryer for gluten free items, but there is NOT a separate prep area. I’m very sad, as the food is delicious. I’m sure the menu is gluten friendly, but it is NOT gluten free.

Our two Celiac teens loved their dishes, steak frites and pork tacos. The beef totchos appetizer was delicious. I ordered the red curry noodles on the recommendation of our wonderful server and when I couldn’t eat it because of the spice heat factor (my mistake for not asking) she brought me the red quinoa risotto which was amazing. The best side dish was the sweet potato fries with marshmallow dip!!! We sat on the roof top and enjoyed the original music of a local artist with a great cosmo and a gluten free blonde ale. Highly recommend. They had two amazing gf desserts but we were too full to order more.

Been here several times and our daughter, who has a celiac diagnosis, loves the fried chicken (gluten free crust in a dedicated fryer). However we recently discovered that they make conventional biscuits everyday and have no safeguards to contain the flour - a major vulnerability according to Children’s Hospital. Shame, since it seams like a relatively easy thing to fix to be celiac safe. We don’t plan to go back.

This place is just down right amazing! Dedicated fryer so of course I had to get crispy tots and hit wings! Omg good!!! Also split a Power salad with my hubby and that was so delicious! Our server was Adam and I can only hope the other servers are half as good as he is........friendly, helpful with suggestions and very cute too!!!

The food at the Roost is fantastic AND they have a dedicated fryer. We have eaten there several times and I’ve never been sick and feel confident that I won’t. We love the Bangin’ Cauliflower and steak frites.

I absolutely love this restaurant. They have multiple gluten-free choices, and wonderful food. I didn’t get sick. The waitress was very knowledgeable. I would definitely go back.

The waitress specially verified everything was gluten free and was able to substitute everything containing unknown levels of gluten. Two different employees checked without question. The food was amazing on top of it all!!! I highly recommend it

This is a Gf friendly place and they make ordering Gf easy. The menu had Gf next to the dishes they make on the same menu they give everyone. The staff took down what I needed without hesitation as if it is anyone's order and when they brought out the food they said Gf and Dairy free which I ordered! I feel like I ate a pure fresh clean meal.

Menu clearly marked with GF items. They even have a few GF desserts - GF chocoloate chip ice cream sandwich! We had two appetizers - Bangin' Califlower and Beef Totchos both fabulous. I had Steak Frites as my entree. Will definitely go back to try more menu items!
