Roaster's Chicken

Both Malory and I grew up in Atlanta, and are Southerners at heart. Growing up here in the South, we have a constant craving for things deep-fried and “scattered, smothered, and covered” in butter. It has been a challenge for us to find a great country-cooking place ITP, but a few years ago, we stumbled upon Roasters and have been frequent visitors since we live so close. Located on Lenox Road (about a mile south/east of the Mall), Roasters serves up great rotisserie chicken with all the fixin's. Tucked away in a small shopping center, it provides a great family atmosphere for a good price. We are usually always seated promptly, the staff is very friendly, and the food is definitely filling.

After our complimentary basket of rolls and cornbread, we typically order sweet tea, and then try to decide on entrees on their massive menu. Their rotisserie chicken is definitely their specialty, so whether it's a sandwich, salad, or whole chicken, we usually get something involving their signature .  The entrees come with two sides- and they have many great options to choose from.

While I've tried a couple of their dishes, this time I went with the fried chicken (see photo above) with coleslaw and fried green tomatoes. Their fried green tomatoes are seasonal, so make sure to ask the waiter if they have them available.

Malory pretty much always orders the ¼ white rotisserie plate, which is great for the price. She also always gets the fried green tomatoes and mashed potatoes with gravy (above).

Roasters is a great spot for lunch or dinner, and the location at Lenox has a nice outdoor patio. They have another location in Alpharetta (never tried it), but we enjoy sticking to our local joint. Go with an appetite, beware of counting calories and enjoy some country cookin'!
