We visited Roasters BBQ Grill & Bar at Marché Central & ordered a decent variety: the Hot Lips burger (with sweet potato fries), a fried chicken burger with regular fries, a teriyaki salmon wrap, mac n cheese, a quarter chicken, a cappuccino, & a brownie cake with ice cream for dessert.
Unfortunately, the experience landed somewhere in the middle, & it's a noticeable drop from what I remember. I used to have very good quality meals here, but something has clearly changed over the last decade - the food & service just aren't what they used to be. Service was slow this visit - noticeably longer wait times than expected for both being seated & having food arrive. Food quality was inconsistent for the price point, & flavor was a bigger issue than expected: the Hot Lips burger, despite being recommended by our waitress as spicy, had no real heat or kick to it. The fried chicken burger's spicy mayo was underwhelming too, lacking any real spice. Across the board, the food came out bland & forgettable.
Dessert & coffee were also average. The cappuccino wasn't executed properly - it came out watery, far from what a real cappuccino should be. The brownie cake with ice cream tasted overly sweet & commercial, more like an industrial, mass-produced dessert than something made in-house.
Nothing here was outright poor, & the variety on the menu (BBQ, burgers, seafood wraps, comfort food) makes it a reasonable option if you're in the Marché Central area with a group wanting different things. But between the bland flavors, slow service, underwhelming coffee & dessert, & the noticeable decline in quality from years past, it didn't live up to what this place used to be.
3/5 - decent variety & nothing offensive, but bland execution, slow service, & a quality drop from what I remember hold it back.
We gave it 3 shots before posting this review, & we had the same issue each time. Service is decent, staff is welcoming & easy to talk to.
Wait time to sit is okay even when it was busy. Music & all the vibes in general are okay, easy to hear your party at the table. What makes that review 2 stars is the food. The First two times the food was disappointing, but the 3rd time, we ordered the roasters burger which was okay, & the mac & cheese dish with shrimps & chicken. The taste was good, we enjoyed it until the last quarter of the plate where i scooped a spoon-full of macaroni, chicken & plenty of sauce & i bit into a bone & a plastic curved piece attached to it. That dish was shown to the staff & was not removed from the bill, our server apologized & we left it to that.
We came to Roasters after visiting the Festilumi event. We were seated right away, but it took about 10mins before the waitress came to take our order. It WAS busy because there was a large group dining in this section around 7:30pm. Ambiance is nice. We ordered some mocktails & fried calamari. The calamari was some of the best I have ever had. Fish & chips had big portions of fish, not slimy, nice & crunchy, fries were tasty. The rib burger was very good. The 8oz steak & side of Mac & cheese was very tasty. The only complaint was the timing for service. We noticed a manager was helping to expedite orders.. he served us more than the waitress did. After the meal was finished, I caught our server to mention we were ready for our bill, after 15mins, we had no sign of her, I waited next to the kitchen entrance about 5 mins for someone to notice me so that I could ask for the bill again, which was brought by the manager.
If I am back again in this area, I might dine here again, but in the bar section instead.
Excellent service. The waitress was kind & always there when we needed. All the foods tastes amazing, from the burger to fries & coleslaw salad. Also free refills when you purchase a drink which is nice.
The restaurant looked ok, nothing more.
I found it kind of odd having 3 different levels of seating, making it sort of look like a stadium.
Service was good, food came quick.
Food was bland. I had the American Burger & the party itself tasted like... Nothing. Didn't seem like the meat was freshly made, more of a store bought patty with no seasoning. My girlfriend has a friend chicken burger which has tarter sauce on it.
Very odd.
I don't think I'll be going back unfortunately
Relaxed atmosphere with sleek design. Cocktail menu looks extensive but i don't drink. I got a ridiculously big burger. Tasted kinda basic but looked cool. Fries were just ok. Our waitress Samantha was a gem. Its hard to find a fault with this place but there isn't really anything write home about. It's a pretty basic burger bar with a chill vibe. Check it out after the movies maybe
Burger meat was dry. Waitress came to collect payment. We both had cash & she said she didn't have cash on her for change. I said go get cash & come back. Lol....
