Roasties American BBQ

I really wanted Roasties to be better than it was. It has so much potential, great sounding menu, nice location and atmosphere. Witt the plethora of huge looking drinks in the fridge, I thought our food servings would’ve matched it. For the price we were all slightly disappointed in the food. I ordered the pulled pork. It was ok but nothing to rave about. One friend had the southern style chicken. It was basically a little chicken breast with some herbs and covered in gravy. Other friend had philly cheese steak which was large but once again just ok. The best thing in the menu and the only thing I would actually recommend would be the New York flavoured fries, covered in sour cream, cheese whiz, bacon and spring onion they were the standout for all of us. Drinks are huge American servings of soda.

I love giving great reviews of spots I’ve been to, but sadly Roasties is only getting three stars today.
When we looked at the menu for Roasties or mouths were watering as everything sounded amazing. Ribs –chicken — rolls — flavour fries — American sweets and drinks, it all seemed amazing, despite the low-​high varying prices, but sadly as most things seem, it was too good to be true.
My company and myself ordered the pulled pork, country styled chicken, and the Philly cheese steak roll and New York flavour fries. The first downfall, the meal sizes were rather small, they did not seem plentiful at all as if there was an attempt for the meals to be sophisticated in a restaurant people would go to for greasy delicious food. Sadly the arrangement didn’t work. On a positive note the fries came is large portions and we’re definitely the standout.
The New York fries came covered in Cheese-​wiz, sour cream, bacon and shallots, it was amazing and they were delicious. Besides them getting cold rather quickly, they were amazing and I would gladly order them take-​away in the future. Sides that came with meals were not tasteful at the slightest unless you had peculiar tastes, and again were in extremely small portions. I feel harsh leaving such comments on a place with such high potential but I can only be honest.
Roasties is an American BBQ restaurant with amazing potential and a great looking menu. If portion sizes can be adjusted, prices can suit food quality, and food can be hotter, then Roasties can definitely be an amazing restaurant.

What an awesome gem of a place this is… After watching American BBQ cook off shows on Foxtel during the long lonely nights of being a dad, I was happy to come across a genuine American style BBQ Restaurant close to home. So i grabbed the wife and three boys to go out and see what all the fuss was about… This is a very friendly venue with just a couple of tables indoors (seems like all the cooking equipment is rightly afforded pride of place). Apparently they have the best old school chocolate milkshakes in world according to my three boys, plus an amazing selection of american «soda pop». The american burgers are phenomenal (our favorite was the pulled pork), american style BBQ ribs do not get better than this! Bring your napkins and make sure you wear loose fitting pants! We are planning a second and third trip in order to eat our way around the menu.
