Claudia
This place was delicious! Definitely work group friendly, but I made the mistake of ordering with my eyes and underestimating the portions of the food here. I definitely think that you can share the large platter of different meats with someone and then possibly getting fried chicken on the side if you’re going to share with someone else. The portions are pretty huge or you can safe the rest for leftovers. The drinks were pretty good. I had one that was a pear flavor 🍐 I will say the hush puppies and mac & cheese was different than what I’m used to having so not bad, just different .

Absolutely fantastic experience! The food was incredible – the BBQ ribs, in particular, are a must-try. Perfectly tender and flavorful! The service was just as impressive! Our waiter was wonderful—he gave us a warm welcome and provided a perfect introduction to the menu, making sure we had all the details we needed to choose the best dishes. This place is popular over the weekend, so I’d recommend booking a reservation to avoid waiting.

I’ve been coming to Zingerman’s Roadhouse for over a decade. They pride themselves on great service and flavorful food! The dry aged steaks and burgers, mussels and nduja, and gelato are excellent. The half roasted chicken is a fabulous meal! Check out their specials as they’re usually really interesting and delicious. I have a soft spot for the Roadhouse burger. Pair it with fresh goat cheese and you’re in for a treat.

Today was a good day at the Roadhouse. We stopped in for lunch and sat by the warm fire. I had the Pit-Smoked BBQ Pork Sandwich, with sweet potato fries and slaw, very tender pork, crispy fries, tangy slaw and the BBQ sauce I chose had a nice kick. The misses had the Kale & Pinenut Salad with dried cherries and because you can add a protein for an additional charge, had the pulled pork added. We were both very happy with our meals. We've been here many times, it's not always 100% but they always care about you as a customer and will try to make things right - which is why we keep coming back.

We dined in for the first time a couple of weeks ago when we were in town, and this was about one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had! Given that breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, I have some experience. I’m still thinking about this biscuit - planning a trip back across the country for another one! We tried the peach jam and honey and both were wonderful. Eggs were fresh and fluffy, potatoes were just a tad perfectly crispy, and the sausage was great. My husband loved the corned beef hash. We all cleaned our plates. We also enjoyed walking around and seeing their collection of salt and pepper shakers - so fun and made for a great talking point. Everyone was friendly and attentive. Thanks for such a welcoming and delicious dining experience!! alWe can’t wait to come back:

Our first time here and it was sooooo good! Micah, our wonderful server greeted us with hot coffee and warm smiles. We started out with the pastry basket and fought over the AWESOME hot donut. A bacon skillet was shared giving us more than enough food PLUS our third guest had the Chicken Fried Steak entree and couldn't finish it. We will definitely come back for some more! Thank you Zingermans!

Many gluten free options and a dedicated frier so I could have French fries (which were amazing). Our waiter was knowledgeable about what I could get gluten free and if he didn’t know he went and asked the chef which I really appreciated.

We went for brunch and everything was amazing, especially the bits and grits waffle, which was recommended by our server Lucas and transcended me into a higher state of being. The eggs Benedict helped my boyfriend discover God and it’s all thanks to Lucas our server. Lucas has the keys to the universe and he took us for one hell of a ride
