Roasters

Hubby and I stopped in here while in the area. What a great find! Staff were very professional, attentive, and friendly. The food was great and definitely enough for two meals. The cornbread is amazing!

Food was not that great; more on the bland side. The queso that came with the chips was so thick that I couldn't pick it up with the chips without them breaking. On the other hand, the service was awesome! Would NOT visit again.

I was in from out of town and I was looking for a great place to go have some food and this place caught my eyes and I was very satisfied home cooked meal southern hospitality highly recommend it to anybody in the area.

Staff was super nice to us! Server took a photo of our group and informed us that tip was included for a group of more than 6. Food came quickly and it was good. Menu is 90% chicken or so but there's some pork options as well if that's not your thing.

Excellent service. Sever came to our table 6 or 7 times. Drink order, food order. Delivered our food. Came back asked if we wanted to go cups, came back to ask if I needed more tea. Manager came by to check on our order, to make sure it was ok. Another person greeted us as we left. And, the chicken strips were GREAT!!

Absolutely a southern gem! The service is outstanding and the food is easy and amazing. I love this place. I sat at the bar and the lady running the cash register knew the names of most of the patrons, even the people coming for pickup. Did I say that the service here is amazing!!!!!!!

ALLERGEN FRIENDLY!! This place is AMAZING, family friendly and allergen friendly!!! Everything is made perfect! My order was made right away online and it was busy. It’s like kinda healthy, southern comfort food that’s seasoned and cooked perfectly! Great portion sizes! My son has a ton of food allergies and I was able to give him a great meal; cooked with love! Roasters is doing everything right! I swear they have restored my faith in good quality restaurants that truly care! I am SO GRATEFUL!!! : )

We went here on our lunch break during the busy lunch hour. The food was good and about what you would expect to pay. When I go out to eat, I expect good service. We were served by Carol, "according to the receipt." The service was excellent. I even commented to my fellow workers on how she was working so many tables and had time to check on us along with everyone else the entire time. I love to eat out, but lately it seems no one really cares anymore and you usually end up with bad service. This is usually caused by the manager not engaging with their staff enough. I just wanted to write this and let Carol and the manager know they are doing a great job!

Hunting for the best peach cobbler in Atlanta and this place popped up on one of the places to go. The menu has the homemade peach cobbler and it was fair. A little too sweet with the cinnamon but lack the crunch of a crumble or pie. I needed more of that. The crisp was the star for the 2 items. It was quite pleasant. If I was in the area, I'd go back for dessert.

We arrived just before noon on Sunday. Service was pleasant, accurate, and timely. We both had chicken, one with white meat and one with dark meat. Our sides were sweet potatoes, cole slaw, broccoli and cauliflower casserole, and green beans. All were tasty choices

They did it again. Our food was delicious and the service was excellent as always. I ordered a chicken quesadilla with veggies (peppers and onions only) that I asked to be sauteed until soft. I omitted the broccoli and corn. Perfectly cooked. Special requests don't bother them. The quesadilla was hot and gooey without the contents falling out. The portion size was enough for two. My daughter had a grilled chicken Caesar salad with their homemade poppyseed dressing. She always gets this so it must be that good. I can never leave without getting a slice of their homemade key lime pie. So creamy and the tart is pleasantly just right! Roasters is ideal for family, group, and solo visits. I'm already craving another quesadilla.

The food is excellent, collards well seasoned chicken baked to perfection. Mashed potatoes stayed hot the whole meal. Service was great and no surprises with the bill. I will definitely be back!

This food was disgusting with no flavor , chicken tenders were soggy. All the food was dry & had to soak it in hot sauce & honey mustard.

I grew up right around the corner from this strip mall (the parking is an absolute nightmare. Maybe not quite as bad as towards the Roasters end, but the narrow slanty-spots aisle/road nearest the building around the middle/Trader Joe's section is just horrible.) It was a really sunny, fall afternoon and I wanted to eat lunch on a patio, and while the ambiance of Roasters' patio isn't all that great (parking lot view), the food and service all but made up for it. The portions, price, and taste of my lunch was amazing, and the server (can't recall his name) was friendly and prompt. I wasn't expecting it to be as good as some of the local BBQ places that I frequently do carry-out from, but for how much food we got in our entrees and its price, it was pretty stiff competition. I'd gladly go back again, mostly for the bbq pork, chicken, collards and corn bread. (The black eyed peas and the broccoli were severely under-seasoned, but the rest of the things were so good, all I needed was to fork different bites together.)

Ordered thru Grubhub and the food is good. Rotisserie chicken was very tender and flavorful. The lemon pepper wings were most lemon and no pepper. Other half enjoy the bbq wings and chicken sandwich.

Quick service. Good food. Old diner ambiance, which I totally love! I'm kicking myself since it took me this long to try this place out. It's your standard old school American food. Nothing over engineered. Rotisserie was juicy and tasty. But between here and kid cashew, I'd say kid cashew's chicken is the winner. Although this rotisserie is more of a 'traditional' variation - meaning, nothing too fancy - a good overall classic. Also, when it comes to side items, this place kicks Kid Cashew's butt haha. I watched a guy at a next table only eat side items (which they have a 'veggie plate'), and I was like - this dude must be vegetarian. NOPE - it's because their side items are good. It's very homey. All in all, it gives me a Grandma Rudine type of food - lol. If you get my drift. But yeah - i can dig it.

Good, consistent sustenance I've been a patron of this business at various locations over the years. The quality and flavor of the food stays the same no matter which location you visit. Plentiful servings cine with 1/4 chicken, ribs, wraps, sandwiches - Roasters' signature flavor permeates. I've sample so many of the sides, it's hard to pick favorites, but I'm partial to the broccoli/cauli casserole, creamed spinach and apples - appealing to all of my Southern taste buds. Dining in, is easy for 2 or 10 - kids and adults alike. Even when going for pick up, the service is fast and typically friendly. So if your in the mood for good food and service, give it a try BON APPÉTIT

Roasters is who I rely on for southern BBQ. From the chicken tender meal to the pulled pork brisket, all menu options are a hit. Staff and managers are effective and always kind. The interior has a relaxed lighting and inviting atmosphere; the best combinations.

A solid place to grab lunch and not very expensive (esp considering that bbq is expensive everywhere these days). The food is just fine (nothing special but also a place I'd come to again)--we got the pick two each. One had meatloaf, 1/4 dark chicken, creamed spinach, and broccoli/cauliflower casserole. One had the bbq ribs, 1/4 dark chicken, coleslaw, and rice and beans. The meatloaf was surprisingly good and so were the ribs. The sides were all good too. The chicken was dry, the weakest out of all the things. The cornbread or rolls that they offer are $3 so don't think it's complimentary. Service is somewhat slow and they got my order wrong, but fixed it. Ambiance is casual, a lot of wooden booths, good amount of parking since it shares the Trader Joe's plaza.

Their fried chicken is so well-battered and is a favorite! They have amazing service, even with a wait and line out the door. We were sat within 10 minutes, and received our food quickly.

Came here on a Saturday night around 6 pm and although the place was busy we were seated at once. The place is casual and has a family friendly vibe, so seems like the kind of place people would also go to during the week for an easy meal. Our waitress was great, on point checking up on us but also giving us a moment when we needed to look through the menu. We started out with a couple of rolls, trying both the yeast and cornbread, and although both were tasty the cornbread was the hands down winner. For my main course I got the quarter dark with mac and fries. The chicken tasted just like store bought rotisserie chicken, which I guess is the point, but not something I would order again. Mac n cheese was fine but nothing special, so would try another side in the future as they have a ton of options. Really enjoyed the fries with seasoning on.

Was looking for a place that would accommodate some one who is allergic to everything. And this place came up. We were sat down quickly, our waiter was very, very, very hospitable. Our drinks were never empty. Plates were taken off the table as soon as they were finished and we didn't feel rushed at all. Food was amazing. Everyone loved their food.

I door dashed so the price probably went up a tad. But it was FANTASTIC! The chicken fingers with BBQ sauce are EPIC and the macaroni & cheese is really good! The sweet potato soufflé is different. Kind of reminiscent of butterscotch..... definitely a different take but I did enjoy it .

This is one of my favorite places! The food is always delicious and the service is great. Seating was quick and there is parking available in the plaza. The inside has good space for dining in! I rated it 4 stars because my guest had to send back the spinach dip because it was not hot. I do recommend trying it out!

I stopped by at this restaurant while I was waiting for my car to be fixed. Service was quick. I ordered the combo with 2 sides so I got the 1/4 dark chicken and bbq ribs, and for the sides I ordered the creamed spinach and Mac and cheese. My meal was good and the portions were the right size.

Most of the food is good and all of the service is exceptional. However, the cobbler is not good at all. This is not southern style cobbler. It has about an inch of liquid at the bottom, not sure what the middle is made out of. It is not appetizing nor does it look appetizing.

They've gone downhill in my opinion. They now charge $0.50 per roll/cornbread when they used to bring you a basket for free. The food was okay but not up to its usual quality. At one point the hostess stand had five teenage employees laughing around it (not working) as they looked at someone's phone. Won't return. Sad because it used to be one of my favorite places to eat.

A reliable but limited menu. The wait staff are fast and friendly. Price is very reasonable. Even though they stopped giving bread and rolls for free

Good comfort food at family prices. Vegi plate is the best, the cream spinach is the best ever. Meatloaf is especially good if you want something hearty.

Personally I'm not sure if I'll go back. I know they used to have the best white bean soup around. I recently had the queso & I am definitely not a fan. However it was quite crowded & patrons appeared to be enjoying themselves. They're doing something right, it's just not for me .

Very good barbecue chicken... My boss always sends me there for free drumsticks. I've always gotten my orders to go here, but I'm sure the service is really good. The people there are really nice. They do a nice job.

This restaurant is not that great it taste like cafeteria food and I'm sure that's why a lot of older people eat there. The roles are dry and there is not enough salt in the food I think.

Good ole SOUTHERN KITCHEN! If you're looking for something cozy, and comfortable, with that familiar southern cooking you've found just the place. The pot roast was the special of the day, and was really good. I have no complaints outside of EVERYTHING could have been seasoned more, but I definitely can't wait to come back and check out what their roasted chicken is talking about. The menu will have you indecisive, choosing from all of your southern favorites. I the special of the day was about 16 bucks, 20 after tax. Which I think is very affordable for this meal. Also, beware that they do charge for rolls and cornbread.

This was our family's first time eating here and I must say I was very nervous and skeptical cause not everybody can cook southern food but we were in the area and I was starving and craving southern food. We recieved our drinks and unfortunately the Sweet T was not given it was very watery. When we let our server know he said it was from morning shift and it was night time .I was even more nervous and almost ready to leave but when we recieved our food I was very satisfied and will be back for more.

Came her with my boyfriend. I think the chicken is probably 10/10 but I am vegetarian soo I am noting the sides mainly. Location: Super easy to find. There is a big shared parking lot with other businesses so plenty of parking. Staff: The staff was very nice! We ended up splitting the bill very weirdly and they were very helpful by letting us do so! Very friendly overall! Experience: Great. We were seated quickly and I have never been somewhere where the food came out so quickly. I literally think it came out in 3 minutes. Food: I got the veggie plate which was good. It is very southern / thanksgiving style food but I felt it was a little cafeteria style. It reminded me of my university's caf. So it was good but did not feel very home cooked, like some other country restaurants. My bf did love the chicken though. I think that is their speciality so it makes sense! Price: Very affordable. Our whole meal was under 30$ combined! Improvements: Nothing really. I would've liked the sides to feel a little more home made and less pre-packaged mac and cheese and boxed potatoes but it wasn't bad!

I was very disappointed in roosters. I have eaten there often but tonight I ordered delivery. Country fried steak. It came with no gravy very dry and I only ate half of it. The greens were good all tho cold mash potatoes cold. I expected better

Food was god awful literal 2/10 the only thing I liked on my plate was the Mac and cheese I got the 5 finger platter with two sides Mac and cheese and sweet potato soufflé and a peach cobbler the chicken wasn't good the sweet potatoes wayy too mushy with no crumble and the cobbler was mushy and cold even worse heated up it tasted like raw dough. Other than that the customer service was good other than I almost left without my items because they forgot to give it to me. I don't know if it was a manager but I spoke to someone and he answered my question right thanks to him. Overall the food wasn't it at all

Southern comfort food, what else needs to be said. Chicken of some type is what you order here. Crunchy chicken tenders, rotisserie chicken, and wings with plenty of sides to choose from (creamed spinach, fried okra, black beans and rice, broccoli casserole, sweet potato soufflé, etc). Stick with the chicken and you'll be fine.

I went for the first time in this restaurant and the place was quite good. We were very well received by the waitress and advised on the dishes to try. I took a 1/2 all white meet with 2 sides (Mac & cheese and sweet potatoes shouffle) for 14$. I did not manage to finish because the dish was very consistent. My girlfriend took some green beans, Mac & cheese and a chicken vegetable soup and she didn't finish too... The waitress was very accommodating in paying the bill, so I recommend this place if you want to eat a good meal for not too much money. It is also possible to take away meals.

Surpringly very good. Some might call it comfort food. Others might call it family food. I had the roasted turkey plate with stuffing and cranbury sauce. Wife had meatloaf. Both had cinnamon apples and sweet potato souffle as our two sides. All very tasty. Service perfect, quick , efficient. Most of the customers were senior citizens on Friday afternoon. Thats ok. The main menu item is rotisserie chicken and certainly will be back for that. Large parking lot at this location

Find some Southern Charm right here! Busy Saturday night but these hosts get you right in and sitting down with ease. Everyone is friendly and manager comes to check in. Today we ordered some fried chicken (with the honey mustard yum!) They have some the cheesiest queso and homemade chips around , baked beans have a nice flavor and the bbq brisket was real tender. Don't skip dessert. Apple crisp is super tasty with cinnamon. The chocolate cake is a reasonable sized slice and drizzled with raspberry and chocolate sauce. The dinner begins with cornbread muffins and ends with a real big smile.

Soggy chicken tenders maybe it's my fault for getting tossed in Buffalo? But wow these are gross. The breading falls right off. Not a great first experience wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Cornbread was bangin tho!!

I love their food. It's consistent and ready when I order on the website. I love their turkey and dressing and their vegetables are delicious. Also, love their cornbread muffins. They are always friendly when I pick up on my way home from work.

Roasters was ok given the price. The food was decent, but it was not the BBQ I wanted from the South. The corn muffins were amazing and I had a garden salad and everything seemed fresh. The BBQ ribs were tender, falling off the bone, the sauce was decent but seemingly very generic. The collard greens and macaroni did not taste like my Grandma made them, so I could have done without them. The sweet tea was a hit. My 12 year old son enjoyed his ribs, but I will say he probably hasn't had BBQ ribs outside of a place like Fridays - i hope this adds some color for you. Quick, easy and affordable, the staff was very nice!

Came here for lunch the other day as I have for many years. The food was just as good, but the service has gone severely downhill. Had to ask for service from three other servers since my waitress disappeared most of the time. And, on top of that, they've started charging 50 cents per cornbread/dinner roll which used to be complementary. I can buy a box of Jiffy cornbread mix for just over a dollar that makes 6! Maybe there's a new owner? Whatever the case, I sadly won't be patronizing anymore.

R and I came here on the last Saturday in February for an early dinner at 4:15 pm. This Roasters location is in a long strip mall. It shares a big and free parking lot with all of the other businesses, and space availability should be very good at all times. When we walked in, we were immediately greeted by a host and led to a table near the kitchen and given menus. The dining area looks dated, with booths along the walls and tables and chairs in the middle. There are metal tables and chairs outside in the fenced covered patio. When we arrived, there were only about 5 tables with customers at them, and this restaurant can accommodate a whole lot more customers than that. Our server came by later to take our orders. I ordered the country fried steak with gravy, mashed potatoes, creamed spinach and cinnamon apples. R ordered a half rack of bbq baby back ribs, baked beans and cole slaw. While we were waiting for our meals, our server brought us a basked of various breads. Overall, even though our server seemed like a nice guy, he was inattentive, was off the dining room floor a lot, and very much overdid it with his cologne. I guess his being off the dining room floor was actually a blessing, except for when we noticed our food was ready in the kitchen, just waiting for someone to pick it up and serve it to us. Unfortunately, we noticed our food was ready 5 minutes before our server saw our orders. Again, he was not around to see our meals were ready, and actually walked by them a couple times before noticing them. Because of this, my country fried steak and the cinnamon apples were served warm, not hot. The country fried steak was a big portion. So big that it hid the mashed potatoes that were underneath it. Sadly, the country fried steak was very bland, and it lacked flavor, even with the gravy. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to it. The cinnamon apples were ok, while the mashed potatoes and the creamed spinach were both delicious. R said that his meal was good. I would come back to eat again, but I'd definitely order a different meal, like the rotisserie chicken.

Always good, always fast, orders always correct... We've come here countless times and it's always excellent. Great job!

Came here on a whim on a Sunday afternoon because all the brunch places had insane wait times. My friend and I were able to be seated right away here. I wasn't stoked about coming because I'm always skeptical of places with large menus, but I enjoyed the experience 100%! Everyone was so nice. Our server Alex was great - attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The manager came by to make sure everything was good and...it was! Love the appetizer cornbread. And for dinner, I had the turkey and stuffing with sweet potato soufflé and fried okra. The food came out piping hot. The okra was fried to perfection. The sweet potato soufflé had a nice crunch and was just the right amount of sweetness. Let's just say there wasn't much left on my plate except crumbs. I tasted the macaroni and I wasn't thrilled with it. It wasn't bad, but it has an oniony taste to it that I wasn't expecting and I'm not sure how I feel about. Other than that, I really enjoyed Roaster's and will be back soon to try more menu items.

I Love the rotisserie chicken, sweet potato casserole and corn muffins! It's all addicting.

Roasters is somewhat of an Atlanta institution to me. There are currently two locations. I used to go to the Buckhead location (https://www.yelp.com/biz/roasters-atlanta-6) on Lenox Road in the early 2000s with my friend who used to live nearby. These restaurants have been around for a long time. There used to be more locations (e.g. Alpharetta and Cumberland), but they closed. There's nothing really "special" about Roasters. They simply serve standard, reliable Southern fare. Traditional comfort food, no gimmicks. During my visits, each location seemed to be popular in its respective neighborhood. People like this place. The atmospheres are casual, good for groups and families, and there are TVs playing sports. Takeout is a popular option. This location is located in Sandy Springs Plaza, the relatively large shopping center with Trader Joes on busy Roswell Road, just north of I-285. If facing Trader Joes, Roasters is on the right end of the plaza. This restaurant is old school. Both the to-go counter and dining room were busy during our visit. We had to wait a few minutes for a table. Roasters specializes in rotisserie chicken, ribs, and Southern sides, veggies, and desserts. They have meals you can order and take home to feed families of 2-6. The "meal deals" that are designed to serve 4-6 people cost anywhere from $29.99 to $64.99 each and all include at least one whole chicken. They also have the classic "meat and two" entrees where you can get one meat and two sides. Most of these are priced at $12.99 or $13.99 each, though food like ribs and fish are more expensive. They also offer combo plates where you can choose two meats instead of one. The side selection is sizable at 25 sides. Additionally, they serve a nice variety of apps, soups, salads, and sandwiches plus wings and fish tacos. There are daily specials and in general, the prices are reasonable. Seniors get 20% off every Wednesday, 5-7pm. You can sign up to receive special coupons and promotions at www.roastersfresh.com. Here's what I tried: * BBQ chicken rotisserie sandwich ($8.99) - pulled chicken on a toasted bun, tossed with Roasters' homemade BBQ sauce; includes a side and pickle * 1/4 dark chicken and BBQ ribs combo plate ($13.99 + $1 upcharge for the ribs) - broccoli and cauliflower casserole, sweet potato souffle * Meatloaf and BBQ beef brisket combo plate ($13.99) - creamed spinach and fried okra Overall, I thought the food was A-OK. Nothing was bad. No surprises. Roasters makes their own BBQ sauce. It was tasty, but didn't taste significantly different than typical American BBQ sauce to me. Sweet, tangy, vinegary, and smoky. It was most needed on the beef brisket. The brisket looked kind of funny, unlike most sliced brisket I've had at BBQ restaurants. It looked really dry, but it didn't taste as dry as it looked. It didn't have great texture and it really lacked flavor, hence the need for lots of BBQ sauce. The BBQ chicken rotisserie sandwich was piled high with plenty of shredded chicken and a copious amount of sauce. By the look of it, if you didn't know it was chicken, it could easily be mistaken for pork. Tender and flavorful. The 1/4 dark chicken was fine. It could've been juicier and tastier, but it was satisfying enough. The ribs were a bit dry, but otherwise OK. Maybe we just got the end-of-day food (the plates didn't start hitting our table until about 8pm and they close at 9pm). Decent portion size on the ribs. The meatloaf was delicious and my favorite of the meats I tried. I would've preferred more ketchup/tomato sauce, but regardless it was still quite good. Appetizing consistency and savory taste. I recommend it. The sides were yummy. I enjoyed them all. Of the ones I tried, I'd rank them as follows: (1) fried okra, (2) creamed spinach, (3) sweet potato souffle, and (4) broccoli and cauliflower casserole. The fried okra had a nice little crispiness to it. The creamed spinach tasted like Boston Market's creamed spinach, which I've been a fan of since I was young. Smooth, creamy, and gratifying. I couldn't stop eating the sweet potato souffle. Eating it was addictive; I kept going back for more. As for the broccoli and cauliflower casserole, it had nice, large chunks of broccoli and cauliflower and was wonderfully flavored. The complimentary dinner rolls, cornbread, and butter were terrific. Served warm and soft. Service was great. Donna was our server and she did a fantastic job. We also had two other employees come to check on our table and ask us how everything was. One of them looked like a manager type. At the end of the day, I think Roasters can be thrown in the same category as places like the aforementioned Boston Market and other chains like Cracker Barrel, Golden Corral, and Ryans. Similar food. However, what sets Roasters apart is they're local and I think their food quality and service is marginally better. TL;DR - Roasters serves reliable Southern favorites with no surprises. Dependable.

So this place is very dear and close to my heart. When I was in my early twenties me and my family would come here and eat regularly. Since about 2018ish we didn't really go there as much. On yesterday, me , my dad, and my seven year old son went to go and have dinner to there. We haven't been in so long. I was really upset when I became a resident of Alpharetta , they closed the one down by the Kroger on highway-9. It use to be me my mom and dad. We lost her sweet face on June 15,2018. So going back there was more just a dinner, it was memories. For the majority of the dinner, the service was superb don't get me wrong. After we had ate, we talked a little more as families do. It started getting really busy. And I understand, that it was getting busy but if customers want to eat there and enjoy the dinner, they'll wait. I just felt we were getting rushed because they needed seating. Im not good with names but the waitress was really nice. Thank you for allowing me come and experience a memory again and I appreciate it but don't rush me when we are paying. Thanks!

Always great service and foos. Fast ans peasant and always yummy. Love the sandy springs location

A casual sit down restaurant with country style food. I had the vegetable plate with three choices for $8. It was hard to decide with many options. We also had the corn bread. Everything was very good.

Sooo much food. I highly recommend the mac n cheese, meatloaf, rotis chicken, BBQ pork, wings... next I want to try the turkey platter. Please!

Everything was pretty dang bussin'... I had the chicken fried steak with greens and a sweet potato. The mashed potatoes seemed like they may have been instant or this would have been 5 stars. Oh and the corn bread was really good too. Definitely would suggest giving them a try.

Was a little disappointed this was my second visit I tried the meatloaf,collards and Mac and cheese and meatloaf wasn't all that ,it was a nice portion but not what I was expecting,the Mac was Luke warm it taste ok and I didn't like collards which I switched out for green beans which were a little too hard for my liking but my server was sweet oh and sweet tea was ok but after drinking nearly half the cup from a straw of course I see a lip stick print on cup I was so disgusted at that point this experience wasn't as good ,I hate to leave these kind of reviews but I have to always keep it real

Food is always good. I always get the 1/2 chicken white or dark. The broccoli and cauliflower casserole is a hit for me. The creamed spinach needs a little help as it didn't taste right the latest visit but it has been better in the past. The baked beans do have bacon in them just a heads up for those who don't eat pork. They have game day specials and it's a nice spot to also catch games as they have many tvs . They do close at 9pm. Parking is good as it is in a shopping plaza. The rotisserie chicken is always great. I have had hot wings before and they are great as well
