When I was first invited to eat at The Roasting Company with friends, I hadn't heard of it before, but I was up for it. When we got there, I thought, "Are you kidding? It looks like a dive." Once we entered, though, you could immediately tell that it wasn't a dive. It just has the poor luck of being in what appears to be an old small strip mall.
It's a good idea to pick up one of the menus as you walk in (and before you step up to the ordering counter) because there's a lot to choose from! Their speciality is rotisserie chicken with a Mexican or Tex-Mex flair. My favorite dish is the chicken and black bean combo con queso. Why? It's chicken, two sides/veggies, black beans, and cheese. YUM. Top that with one of their hot sauces and I've got a double YUM. Now comes the difficult part: deciding which two side items from the list of about 15. Garlic or mashed potatoes? Spinach? White bean au gratin? Baked apples? AARGH. I can't decide! They all sound so good. I've tried several over different visits and I can tell you that they're ALL good. That makes it even tougher to decide.
The dining room is pretty casual and not overly themed, but i like the high-backed booths for some privacy.
