About Roadhouse BBQ & Grill - steak house in Salinas, California
Customer Review Summary
Roadhouse BBQ & Grill offers a fantastic tri-tip burrito and tasty salsa. The restaurant combines a truck stop mini mart vibe with good Mexican food and BBQ, especially noted for excellent ribs that are dry rubbed yet moist. There are vegetarian options and hearty portions appealing to truckers, but there have been complaints regarding missing dressings and incorrect orders. Some diners found the food disappointing, citing flavorless meat and mistakes in their orders. Despite mixed experiences, some appreciate the atmosphere and additional services like washers, dryers, and showers. Overall, the quality of food seems inconsistent, leading to divided opinions about returning.

Fantastic Tri tip burrito! Salsa is really tasty too.
Greg Johns
Truck stop mini Mart with great Mexican food and BBQ. The trip tip was awesome. Outside patio is good there is not a lot of room inside to eat.

Instead of chatting and laughing, do your job and put dressings to the order. I thrown away two meals because they had NO salsas.
Brian Bessemer
Good Mexican and American basic meat and potatoes. Good vegetarian choices. Great meals for truckers their main clientele. Be careful asking for everything on a burrito, the salsa is 100% octane and very spicy. Better than any allergy pill I've ever taken. Food portions, good food, ask about the salsa or sauce before ordering.

Ribs were out of this world! Dry rubbed, but perfectly moist and incredibly seasoned. They were huge ribs, too! Four ribs and the the sauteed potatoes had me full. Any drivers looking for some good food should drop by!

Food is awful...Also I ask a regular Burrito and 2 tacos...she makes a beef and beans lunch. What a big mistake and beef taste like water in his own juice...she doesn’t even want to accept her mistake... Totally disappointed and never want trying this place again...sorry. I don’t understand what happens recently but it’s second time I get this kind of joke at that place...

Got the tritip burrito. The meant wasn't tririp. Mat was flavorless and dry. Gave it 2*s because it was edible and only $7.50. I won't be back.
