damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at Roll-N-Roaster yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
Brooklyn Paper's 50th-anniversary feature on Roll-N-Roaster reports the counter averages about 10,000 customers a week, with "a small crowd" typically staring up at the menu board or waiting on food "whether it's lunch or 1am."
That steady volume, rather than a single peak rush, defines the counter's crowd pattern per the outlet, which also notes management trimmed operating hours during the pandemic specifically to discourage late-night lingering — an indirect sign of how much foot traffic the counter draws at odd hours.
