Lunch at The Roost is one of our favorites in SF. As a pescatarian, this is actually the ONLY chicken I eat, anywhere - and it is delicious. The adobo seasoning is fabulous. Cole slaw has a unique flavor that I wish I could replicate at home. Do try the sweet potato croquettes, but leave room for their brown butter cookies!

The Roost ROCKS! Super pleasant,hard working and tasteful addition to our neighborhood. Pun intended,as these newest flavors create more than chicken. My husband is a man who just doesn't like chicken,liked the pork tremendously. I'm a big fan of the chicken quinoa salad,and it's maker! My praise to the Roost, and may it prosper! The Tenderloin has a great history, it's own flavor, the Roost brings it's taste,full of itself adds ever more flavor. Good luck neighbors!

Very friendly staff and the menu offers flavorful options that makes a visit very worthwhile. Shared an order of a half chicken with an extra side of rice, and it was more than enough to be satisfied. The matcha sesame cookies and sweet potato croquettes were fun treats to end our meal. Definitely going to recommend this to friends and looking forward to coming back

The Tenderloin District does not disappoint with the food options! It's currently Restaurant Week, and I've been wanting to try The Roost for awhile. So this was the perfect opportunity to try their menu.As you can tell from the name, they do chicken. And they do it well! The baked chicken leg was moist and had so much flavor from the ancho-chili mustard rub. And I loved the slaw! Normally I don't eat coleslaw because it's usually drenched in dressing, but not this one. It was perfectly dressed and had a good crunch. The rice was good too! It had some earthy flavors to it.My meal also came with sweet potato croquettes with a sriracha aioli, and a brown butter chocolate chip cookie. The croquettes were perfectly fried, and I loved the sweetness of the potato with the slightly spicy sriracha. And the chocolate chip cookie had chocolate at every bite!I came back the next day to get their vegan chickpea corn cakes. Delicious!! I did travel an hour with them, so they lost a little of the crunch. But nonetheless still good. It's not on their main menu (yet?) so if you're vegan, hurry up and get some now before their Restaurant Week menu ends on April 10. The cakes also came with garlic cauliflower roasted perfectly and kale.And the people who work there are super nice and friendly! I noticed they've been getting a lot of online orders, so that's a testament to how good their food is.They do have indoor dining with a few tables just inside. The place is super clean and lots of vertical space. They do have signs asking for vaccination status if you're dining in, fyi, so get that prepared.The Roost is definitely on my go-to list for lunch options in the area. I should've come here sooner!
Great customer service and nice interior. This place is a hidden gem. Items are made fresh. I would definitely recommend trying The Roost.

I was seeking to try a new place and took a chance on The Roost. Wow! Their selection is deliciously creative and I'll definitely be back soon. I tried the Chicken dish as the main and went for the Candy Ginger Snickerdoodle cookie for dessert. Both were just DELICIOUS! I will be back to try more. If you go - and I hope you do! - definitely add one of their delicious cookies to your order! So, so good!

Note, it's on Ellis Street smack dab in the Tenderloin. But the chicken falls off the bone, and their side dishes are tasty. Try their Sweet Potato Fritters. Worth a visit.

Merchant Roots is our favourite restaurant in SF so when we discovered The Roost by the same team, we had to try it! The chicken was delicious, as were all the sides especially the croquettes. We did delivery and it was all packaged really well so arrived in perfect condition. AND the cookies are delicious. Great value too, highly recommend!
