Good food. Great portion. Friendly staff. Place is clean.
What made this place truly special was the very happy and smiling shift manager Ju Li! She was super nice, and through her kindness brought a difficult travel day to a happy conclusion :)
This place was awesome. My parents split a chicken burger and greek salad. My girlfriend also had a crispy chicken burger. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Sick beats in the restaurant. I had a donair. I’m from the east coast, so i was obviously skeptical about a donair from so far away from Halifax. I was not disappointed. The sauce was similar but not quite as sweet as the east coast version (i liked it). He had just the right amount of sauce on it, not too wet but also not dry. Nothing worse than a dry donair. The beef was cooked perfectly and not dry. Overall 9/10 (honorary east coast donair ranking in my books). I’d come back for this exact meal next time i’m passing through!
Not a ton of options in Inuvik and was looking for a quick place to eat after biking up from Dawson City.This place was perfect. Busy but the service was quick. Staff were friendly. Food (I had the loaded sub) was good.It’s a little expensive for what it is but you’re kind of in the middle of nowhere so it makes sense.
5 stars for sure! Not only was the food amazing and the restaurant but the owner was so nice and a great ambassador for Inuvik. He helped us out with so much info and greeted and welcomed us! Thank you! oh ya gotta try his ice cream
I ordered 2 large pizza and they were one of the best pizzas i ever had very fresh ingredients and delicious, the staff were amazing very good service. , very clean restaurant, definitely recommend it and hope to come back for visit again
I recently dined at The Roost Restaurant and I was thoroughly impressed with the overall experience. The dish I ordered was absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked shrimp, tender chicken, all complemented by fresh, crispy vegetables like broccoli and cabbage. The noodles were cooked just right, absorbing the flavorful sauce that tied everything together beautifully. It was a delightful mix of textures and flavors that made for a satisfying meal.But what made the experience truly special was the exceptional service provided by Julia. From the moment I was seated, Julia made me feel welcomed and taken care of. She was attentive without being overbearing, ensuring my drinks were always topped up and checking in on me at the right moments. Her friendly demeanor and professionalism added a personal touch that enhanced my dining experience.I highly recommend The roost restaurant for anyone looking for great food and top-notch service. A special shoutout to Julia for making my visit memorable—I will definitely be coming back!
The Chinese food here is superb, with deliciously dishes like chicken fried rice, beef chop suey and deep fried shrimp. The service is excellent, especially thanks to Julia, whose friendly and attentive manner enhances the dining experience. Highly recommended for both food and service!
