Ok, lets be fair and reasonable here. Yes it is a tourist place but it is also a fun place to go if you live here. My daughter turned 35 yesterday and she asked to go there for her family birthday party. There were six of us and we had a great time. Were the steaks Flemings quality? Nope. Was the salad the best? Nope again. But the place has one of the most drop dead good views in all of the valley, sawdust floors, a bull outside, and tons of awesome old west atmosphere. There is even an awesome slide you can take from the upper level to the lower level. I have been to this place 20 times or so and I am never disappointed.
People who go here expecting an amazing culinary experience are going to the wrong place. One look around the Roost -- just being there puts me in a good mood!
