Roost Fried Chicken

I have only 6-10 proper Nashville hot chicken restaurant experiences and this is as good or better than others I have had. 1st time eating here was with some buddies in the middle of the pandemic, this review is for the 2nd visit a year later. The daughter and I went there recently while the wife had appointments at the university. Loooong line (30+ minutes just to place an order) and they didn't seem to be short-staffed... but the front of house fella was certainly hustling. We waited outside with our iced tea and beers while our food was prepped. Deviled eggs were okay but expensive. I had a mixed 2x piece meal with greens and grits (everything was awesome). The hot chicken was a bit much for me, but that is no fault of the restaurant, instead my Scottish heritage. The daughter is gluten-free and she had a pulled chicken sandwich on a GF bun with fries. She says both were good and I can confirm the fries were tasty and crispy. Overall, I can appreciate the chicken, very juicy, crispy and very tasty; but dang did it wound me later on. ;-) Roost is considered a must-stop in all our future trips to/through Bozeman, but I will probably call in my order next time.

Well this place definitely has the hardest working crew I've ever seen. They put heart and soul into everything. Food was so fresh and delicious. I even had gluten free options which was so fabulous.
