The Roost - San Francisc

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!

Incredible food, affordable prices, quick service. This is by far my favorite place in SF to grab lunch while at work.

Did I order braised pork shoulder from the Roost?That little cup is braised pork shoulder, rest were spinach and rice. It looked pretty nice when picking up the meal, but meh when looking into it. Maybe it's just the style of cooking that I never like (I love lamb shank and braised beef dishes but the southern style braised pork usually seems off).Reply to owner Ashley: yeah I don't think it's worthwhile to please me, I figure most people love southern style braised pork the way it is. I think my mistake was thinking it being different than pulled pork. I like lamb shank and braised beef because they have fatty bits which make them far juicier than pulled pork. Come to think of it I don't know why the fattiest of the three usually avoids juicy and fatty bits.

My favorite lunch spot to order from hands down. Great food, great portions. Some of the best cookies, chicken and omg the croquettes!!!! They have been so dependable as a lunchtime staple- and I have to stop myself from making it my go to meal all the time.

The woman with short hair could benefit from taking some courses on customer service. Additionally, there is no parking available.
