The Roasting Oven is a good place to get a different flavor experience. The owner told me it was Cuban/Latin American fusion menu. I love Mexican/Spanish foods, so I figured I'd like it. They have fried plantains, yucca, and other things I have only seen on the FoodNetwork but had yet to try. I'll be honest, I did not try them on my first visit either! I have heard from friends that the rotisserie chicken was awesome and so was their homemade breads. On my first visit I had the Burger 2000 with fries and my friend had the marinated beef tips dinner. Both meals were very, very good. The burger was huge and the homemade bun just melted in my mouth. REALLY! My friend's beef tips were so well flavored and tender. The gilled veggie side was so good too, but she said she would have preferred more onions and the tomatoes instead of mainly green peppers. The rice was very soft, moist and not sticky and clumpy. It could have used a little more flavor though.
Here's the negatives. The side orders are quite high. I had to order my fries as a side since no burgers come with fries and the small was 1.59 and a large was 2.49. I got the large and it was not alot of fries. I am looking at the take-out menu and here's some prices of other sides; fried yucca-small 2.99 large-3.99; rice and beans-2.99; potato salad-1.49. I wish I could get a burger platter that would include fries. In this economy I am big on getting more bang for my buck so portion sizes are very important
All in all, it was very good and I am definitely going to go back and try some fried paltains and the chicken. If you're looking for something different for dinner for about twenty bucks I wwould suggest you give them a whirl!
