Is Roast Kitchen A Place for Meat or Salad??
We received a tip from Luncher Stephen last week about a brand new spot on 49th and 7th. Roast Kitchen sounded like it could be a promising place for take-out rotisserie chicken, but it seems much closer to a fast food salad joint. The meat seems to play second fiddle to ingredients like kale, quinoa, and brown rice. But composed salad selections often include something like marinated steak, spicy chicken, or pork butt. When pork butt enters the picture, we start listening. Prices seem to hover right around $9. I can’t find a full menu online, but click below for a photo of their salad bowl selections.
Anybody had a chance to try the food yet? Early adopters let us know what you think in the comments.
Roast Kitchen, 740 7th Ave (btw. 48+49th). 212-399-9100

Husband had it last week – he said it was alright but too overpriced and he ended up paying something absurd like $13 for a salad bowl with chicken. Their ingredients sound good (…or trendy? oil-free tamari-miso vinaigrette and kabocha squash anyone?) but unless you’re getting one of the pre-set salads, protein is ~$3 extra…I have yet to try it
