Roger Bar and Restaurant

I would give zero stars for the quality of food and zero for the service.

We chose to go out to dinner on thanksgiving instead of staying home and cooking. Service was poor! Food was substandard low quality. We thought we had a choice of traditional Turkey meal or their full menu. Which was advertised on their website. This was not the case. I ordered some appetizers and the fries were not hot and they had no flavor. They were sprinkled with what looked and tasted like canned Parmesan cheese! My adult son ordered a Shirley temple and they brought it to him on a plastic cup with a top on it and a straw! The rest of us ordered cocktails and they were in glass as they should be. The server had to be summoned instead of checking us we were ignored. I ordered the Roger Burger and that was a mess. They asked how I wanted it cooked I said medium. The burger was so hard I could not cut the burger in half without making a mess of the soggy bun. My son ordered the traditional thanksgivings dinner and that consisted of 2 medallion sized rolled turkey breast sliced with herbs in the middle and a blob of mashed potatoes. The cornbread was a miniature sized muffin. I sent my burger back and they asked what's wrong with it. They don't even offer to make it right!! The food didn't even look appetizing. The only good thing I can say about that place is the seating near the fireplace was nice ambiance. We didn't even know who our server was.

Food was good, but nothing special. Service was below average as they left us unattended for far too long on multiple occasions. A bit loud inside.

Please update your online menu to match your current menus. It's annoying.
The roasted cabbage was delicious. The most expensive 8 pieces of cabbage I have ever had.

We've eaten here many times, but this was the first with the new menu. Overall, old menu was better. The burger was always our go-to, but it wasn't nearly as good as the old one. Same with the salted fries, which used to be an appetizer but now come with the burger. Not as thin and crispy as the old ones.

We have been coming to Roger for the past 3 years on a regular basis to meet with old friends. The food is good (though it would be nice if the menu rotated or had new items added for r specials.) We had the worst service last night. We asked our server to come back in 5 minutes because we weren't quite ready to order. Our server never came back and after about 20 minutes we finally grabbed someone who said they would get our waiter and never did. So a little while later we finally got someone to take our order. No one ever came back to ask if we wanted more drinks or needed anything. And we had to get someone to get us our bill after waiting for someone to get our bill for another 20-30 minutes. It has seriously caused us to not want to come back.

All four of us enjoyed the food. But service was inattentive and inexperienced. No water refill, didn't ask if we wanted a second drink, or if our food was OK. The table next to us had to go get a server as no one ever came over to them. Our first five tries of wine by the glass orders were not available. Kinda odd... Don't think I will go back.

We had the bad luck to sit in the „wind channel“, which made the stay a kind of chilly… Dinner was okayish, not beyond

Ordered burger and it was pretty good albeit greasy. Also tried broccolini and chicken katsu and both were pretty good. Overall lovely place, highlight is the nice vibe with live music

Great location for a work event, nice vibe, good selection

The food was a bit too greasy, and the fries weren’t very fresh. Two out of three heaters were broken, and the waiter could have been a bit more attentive. The drinks also felt a bit overpriced.

That said, the overall atmosphere is wonderful — the firepits, open layout, and playground make it a great spot to hang out with friends and kids.

The most expensive drink ever!
$18 plus an added 22% tip. $23.62 for a matcha cocktail during Happy Hour. I thought the 150+group was supposed to get a discount? I do not recommend it. Perhaps its best to spend your hard earned dollars on a meal

Food is flavorful, healthy and delicious. Service can improve leaps and bounds, for both hotel staff and bar staff.

The restaurant proactively moved us inside due to cool weather. We appreciated the semi private room for our group, Thanks!!
