She loves the flexibility of setting her schedule, the creativity of adding new items to the menu, and having great customers!
Rostas has updated the patio and includes fantastic barbecue menu items from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Their new partnership with DoorDash has added to increase in customers.
The restaurant is open Sunday, Monday, Wednesday & Thursday from 11 am to 10 pm and Friday & Saturday from 11 am to 11 pm. Stop in for a delicious meal!
