I highly recommend ordering from The Roost! We have plenty of picky eaters in our office, and everyone loves the food. The portions are generous, everything arrives fresh and hot, and the clear labeling makes it easy for staff to navigate any food allergies. We’ve ordered from them many times—don’t hesitate; your team will be thrilled with the choice!

Wonderful sustainable packaging used! Thank you, our office is pushing to be more green, so this is perfect. Food is always a hit as well, meat is tender and well flavored. I like that it was separated from the greens/carbs.

Food was good! Unfortunately all of the boxes the food came in were squished! Good thing we mostly ordered quinoa and other items that aren't damaged by a squish! *Edited rating from 3 to 5 because the Roost was so great about recognizing what happened and making it better* Thanks so much!

Everyone loved the food, if I could do it again I would order less rice and salad and add in another side. We had tons of rice and salad left over, they give you a huge amount of each.

Most of this meal with very enjoyable. However, several people told me that they found almost everything to be over-seasoned. The biggest issue with this meal was the pork. Personally, I thought it tasted good, but it's appearance was less than appealing. I won't be ordering again unless you offer a different choice of proteins.

May have been due to heat, but the brie was very runny and sticking to the other cheeses. Presentation could have been nicer (a tray, rather than foil container?), Also, not enough of the crackers for the amount of cheese.
