I have been to Roast House many times and read the reviews before deciding to post my own review. If you love beer the amazing rotating beer selection makes RH a must visit. They post an updated beer list every few days on Facebook and Twitter. Last night alone I had 2 beers rated 99 by Beer Advocate. They do... More

If you have a beer snob in your life. This is the restaurant for you. The food is good but haphazard. Because it is a small restaurant, some night they run out of food on the menu. And the menu is limited. The dessert is not the best, also hit and miss. But the beer is phenomenal. 30 craft beers... More

I really like this place, especially for the rotating list of 20 beers (and sometimes ciders). The food is pretty good, too. I've been there twice and will go back - mainly for the beer selection. The service, however, is not very good. The waitstaff spend way too much time talking to each other and regular customers at the bar... More

Ten of us stopped for beer and dinner at 6PM on a Wednesday evening. Although the small parking lot was jammed and some of us had to park elsewhere, we had no trouble inside the small pub assembling a row of tables to seat us all. Our waiter was in command of the information needed to help guide our beer... More

6 of us visited Saturday at lunchtime to try a few new beers. Nicely varied 20-tap list. The food was a pleasant surprise. I had very good old bay wings, crab balls and a venison stew that just the right kick. A friend's soup order mysteriously changed to chili with no explanation. He liked it anyway. This is a small...

I love this place, but since the original chef left its going down hill. I am sitting at the bar 50% of the place is full. I finished my dinner 20 minutes ago, the staff have walked past me over 20 times and have not offered me a new beer, take my plate away and have placed dirty glassware around... More

This fabulous restaurant has 20 different taps. You will not find the yellow, fizzy industrial beer here. In fact they have a firkin. You can't go wrong with a firkin. They are updating the menu so what I had may not be available when you go. The maple glazed pork chop was very tender and cooked perfectly. Bottomline: worth a... More

The head chef here was replaced recently, but there have been no major changes to the menu yet. Had the ribs on Sunday and the seemed a bit better done (more tender), but the mac & cheese had been changed to filling a ramekin rather than a free form block. They're still working on it, but I preferred the block.... More

My bf and I were going to Mays Restaurant next door for crabs and were given a waiting time of 1hr and 30 minutes. Whoa! We decided to head over to Roasthouse pub for a beer and appetizer since we had a lot of time to kill. Really cute place! Im not an adventurous beer drinker but they had a... More
