Pleasantly surprised by the food quality, speed of service, table availability on Saturday night, pricing and hospitality.

I am so disappointed in the food quality and customer service. I ordered grilled chicken, mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables. The vegetables were uncooked, hard and I received 3 pieces of bell pepper, 2 hard pieces of sweet potatoes and 3 hard pieces of zucchini.

Buffalo Chicken Salad! For $14, it is not worth it at all. It barely has any chicken. For that price tag, I expected a way reacher dish than what they offer. I will never come here again. I did not come here to just eat lettuce. The whole dish consists of lettuce.

Cesar salad saggy and I had some crunches that tasted like tiny rocks when I stopped..the tritip was almost raw so I had them do it again. It used to be better there.

I agree- quality has gone down for sure. I ordered meat medium-rare and received meat that was well-done, as you can see. The Yik yak salad was once full of different veggies and cabbage and now 3/4 of it is iceberg lettuce. The sauce also was not as spicy or flavorful, it’s been watered down or changed.

Tried the tri-tip platter. Got 2 orders of the roasted veggies as my sides. Everything was pretty tasty but the sweet potatoes in the mix veg were raw. Couldn’t do much about it cause I got my order to go.

Got the BBQ Chicken platter, chicken and mash were very good but the roasted veggies were few and undercooked. Hard to bite sweet potatoes and zucchini.

Ordered the French onion soup and Roadhouse salad with tri tip. Should have stayed with Roadhouse salad and yik yak salad. The soup and corn bread muffin was just OK. The Roadhouse salad is a large portion and can be shared

I ordered the chipotle tri tip sandwich and was unfortunately underwhelmed. It was cold and small. Literally seemed like a child sized meal. Don’t go here if you’re hungry because you’ll leave hungry as well
