“ Amazing food and staff. I wouldn't get my gizzards and livers anywhere else. Don't get your fried okra here though. There's no cornmeal in the batter and they're always extremely greasy. ”
“ Was my first experience with River & Roost I am extremely impressed. Was just a wonderful accident that I found the place. The quality of the food along with the efficiency of such a small staff rarely have I saw a group of people work so harmoniously with such energy with one another that they make it a joy to visit. Was also impressed with the sheer volume of food they moving across the counter and out the drive thru window. I'm definitely going to visit this place many more times in the near future and I live about 212 - 3 hours away from this fine establishment. Bravo ”
