33 Years of Rustlers Roost

"33 years ago ... We bought the Roost at 612 Sherman Ave. It has been a long and adventureous road. We want to thank all the folks that have supported us over all these years. I think I was half my age. Thanks for the Memories -- Woody & Daren McEvers."

DFO: I remember eating at the old Roost a half lifetime ago shortly after I arrived from Lewiston. My favorite Roost incarnation was the building that now houses Java on Sherman Avenue. The food is always good. And the portions large.

Question: Do you remember the original Roost?
