The food, the service and the ambiance are all top-notch at the Roost. They serve a wide variety of American style breakfasts. They even have potato pancakes! And yes the corned beef hash is homemade. I can't recommend this place highly enough. Go have breakfast or lunch there- you won't be disappointed.

Very good American breakfast with good portions. The farmer sampler was just the right mix of everything with two small pancakes. Add a side of gravy for more flavor town experience.
