The Roost is a good breakfast place. BUSY, very busy. For two people on a Saturday morning around 10 am, we waited 40 minutes. Which is pretty normal I would think.
We did hear the hostess tell larger parties that it could be upwards of an hour, maybe 2 hours of a wait. The front area can make you feel like a sardines in a can with it being so packed.
I suggest if you are going downtown for any particular reason aside from breakfast, go get your name on the wait list and they can text you when a table is ready; and you can go do your errands or shopping.
The food is reasonably priced for downtown Lawrence. The coffee is good. The sausage is extremely delicious, probably some of the best I've had. The rosemary breakfast potatoes are also quite yummy.
The folks working there are kind, and attentive. They're rather efficient at getting everything cleaned up, and ready for the next group, as well as getting food and drink to you.
