About Us
Bringing Farm-to-Table in Southern Pines
With locally sourced ingredients, seasonal dishes, outdoor seating, and vegetarian options, every visit delivers fresh flavors, sustainability, and a welcoming atmosphere.
Off the charts gourmet blissfulness
Come in and experience creative, unique, gourmet sandwiches like you never had before. We are a scratch kitchen - from our roasted meats all the way to our fermented sriracha. We have visited many local farms to procure the absolute finest quality of products to create our signature fare.
Fresh local ingredients
Roast is passionate about using fresh ingredients from North Carolina farms. Many restaurant's meats come from factory farms over 1000 miles away. This is terrible for the environment, cruel to animals, and does not make for a tasty meal.
So join us in supporting the backbone of North Carolina, the local American farmer!
