Roasting Company
Our story
Since 1991, The Roasting Company has provided Charlotte with incredible food at a great value, all in a laid-back, unpretentious atmosphere. A rotisserie is simply the appliance used for roasting chicken, hence the name “Roasting Company”. Bell strives to keep things simple: the name, the concept, and the philosophy. High quality, fresh ingredients, great flavor, reasonable prices, excellent service, and a cool atmosphere all contribute to the cult-like following.
The Roasting Company, located on the lively strip of Montford Drive, was founded by owner Doug Bell (in photo) in 1991 after visiting a restaurant in Costa Rica which featured incredible rotisserie chicken and unique, flavorful sauces.
"One of our original partners told me about this place in Costa Rica, and when I went to check it out, I was hooked. We struck a deal to buy their marinade and a few other recipes, and that has been the core of our menu ever since," Bell said.The Roasting Company has something for everyone: vegetarians, the health conscious, the not-so health conscious, kids, youth, and adults.
